Numbers 8
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
2 “Speak to Aaron, and tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand.’”
“Wuo gi Harun kendo iwachne kama: ‘Ka iketo teyni abiriyo kuonde mowinjore, to nyaka ler margi meny nyim rachung taya.’”
3 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lamp stand, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Harun notimo kamano; noketo teyni kuonde mowinjore ka gimenyo nyim rachung taya, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
4 This was the workmanship of the lamp stand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work. He made the lamp stand according to the pattern which the LORD had shown Moses.
Ma e kaka rachung taya nolosi: Nolose gi dhahabu mothedhi chakre e bwoye nyaka wiye malo. Rachung taya nolosi mana kaka ranyisi mane Jehova Nyasaye osenyiso Musa.
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Wal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko kendo pwodhgi gibed maler.
7 You shall do this to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Kipwodhogi, to itim kama: Kwo pi mipwodhogigo kuomgi; bangʼe giliel yie dendgi duto kendo giluok lepgi, eka gibed joma opwodhi.
8 Then let them take a young bull and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
Nyisgi gikaw nyarwath kaachiel gi misango mar cham mar mogo mayom moru gi mo; bangʼe ikaw nyarwath matin mar ariyo kaka misango mar golo richo.
9 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
Kel jo-Lawi e nyim Hemb Romo kendo ichok oganda duto mar dhood Israel.
10 You shall present the Levites before the LORD. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
Nyaka ikel jo-Lawi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, mondo jo-Israel nyaka oyie lwetgi kuomgi.
11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of the LORD.
Harun nyaka kel jo-Lawi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mifwayo koa kuom jo-Israel, mondo omi gibed moikore ne tij Jehova Nyasaye.
12 “The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.
“Bangʼ ka jo-Lawi oseketo lwetgi ewi rwedhigo, to chiw achiel kuomgi ne Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mar golo richo, to machielo chiw kaka misango miwangʼo pep mipwodhogo jo-Lawi mondo ngʼwon-nigi.
13 You shall set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to the LORD.
Ket jo-Lawi ochungʼ e nyim Harun kod yawuote bangʼe ichiwgi kaka misango mifwayo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
Ma e kaka onego iwal jo-Lawi e kind jo-Israel mamoko mondo obed maga.
15 “After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting. You shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.
“Bangʼ ka isepwodho jo-Lawi kendo ichiwogi kaka misango mifwayo, to nyaka gibi mondo gitim tijgi e Hemb Romo.
16 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
Gin e jo-Israel manyaka chiw chuth ne an. Asekawogi kaka meka awuon e lo kayo ma en nyodo mokwongo ma wuowi mar ja-Israel.
17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
Nyathi moro amora ma wuowi mokwongo ma ja-Israel bed ni en dhano kata chiayo, en mara. Kane anego kayo duto man Misri, ne awalogi gibedo maga.
18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Bende aseketo jo-Lawi duto obedo e lo yawuowi makayo e Israel.
19 I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, so that there will be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.”
Kuom jo-Israel duto, asechiwo jo-Lawi kaka mich ne Harun gi yawuote mondo giti tij lemo e Hemb Romo e lo jo-Israel kendo mondo gikelnegi resruok kuom masira manyalo mako jo-Israel ka gisudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo.”
20 Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
Musa gi Harun kod oganda jo-Israel duto notimone jo-Lawi gigo duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiko Musa.
21 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Jo-Lawi nopwodhore giwegi kendo negiluoko lepgi. Bangʼ mano Harun nochiwogi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mifwayo mi notimonegi misango mondo opwodhgigo.
22 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Bangʼ mano, jo-Lawi nobiro tiyo tijgi e Hemb Romo kotelnegi gi Harun kod yawuote. Negitimone jo-Lawi mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
23 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
24 “This is what is assigned to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
“Ma e kaka jo-Lawi biro tiyo: Joma chwo mahikgi piero ariyo gabich kata moloyo kanyo nobi mondo obed achiel kuom jotich e Hemb Romo,
25 and from the age of fifty years they shall retire from doing the work, and shall serve no more,
to ka giromo higni piero abich, to giniwe tich.
26 but shall assist their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall perform no service. This is how you shall have the Levites do their duties.”
Ginyalo konyo owetegi e tije mag Hemb Romo, to gin giwegi ok onego gimul tich moro amora. Ma e kaka ibiro pogo tije ne jo-Lawi.”
