Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
2 “Speak to Aaron, and you shall say to him: When you place the seven lamps, let the lampstand be set up on the south side. Therefore, give this instruction: that the lamps should look out from the region opposite the north, toward the table of the bread of the presence; they shall give light opposite that area, toward the area that the lampstand faces.”
глаголи Аарону и речеши к нему: егда поставиши светила, от страны спреди светилника да светят седмь светила.
3 And Aaron did so, and he placed the lamps on the lampstand, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
И сотвори тако Аарон: от единыя страны спреди светилника возжже светила его, якоже повеле Господь Моисею.
4 Now this was the workmanship of the lampstand: it was of ductile gold, both the main shaft and all that originated from both sides of the branches. According to the example that the Lord revealed to Moses, so did he make the lampstand.
И сие устроение светилника: слияно злато стебль его и крины его, слияно все: по образу, егоже показа Господь Моисею, тако сотвори светилник.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
И рече Господь к Моисею, глаголя:
6 “Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you shall purify them
поими левиты от среды сынов Израилевых, и да очистиши я:
7 according to this ritual: Let them be sprinkled with the water of illumination, and let them shave off all the hairs of their body. And when they have washed their garments and have been cleansed,
и сице да сотвориши им очищение их: покропиши на них воду очищения, и да взыдет бритва на все тело их, и исперут ризы своя, и чисти будут:
8 they shall take an ox from the herd, with its libation of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil; then you shall receive another ox from the herd for sin.
и да возмут телца единаго от волов, и сего жертву муки пшеничны, спряжены с елеем, и телца единолетна от волов да возмеши греха ради:
9 And you shall bring forward the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the sons of Israel.
и да приведеши левиты пред скинию свидения, и собереши весь сонм сынов Израилевых:
10 And when the Levites are before the Lord, the sons of Israel shall place their hands upon them.
и приведеши левиты пред Господа, и да возложат сынове Израилстии руки своя на левиты:
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a gift in the sight of the Lord, from the sons of Israel, so that they may serve in his ministry.
и да отлучит Аарон левиты отдание пред Господа от сынов Израилевых, и да служат службы Господви:
12 Likewise, the Levites shall place their hands upon the heads of the oxen; you shall make use of one of these for sin, and the other as a holocaust to the Lord, so that you may intercede for them.
левити же да возложат руки на главы телцев: и да сотвориши единаго от гресе и единаго во всесожжение Господу, умилостивити о них:
13 And you shall set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and his sons, and you shall consecrate those being offered to the Lord,
и поставиши левиты пред Господем и пред Аароном и пред сынми его, и отдаси я отдание Господу:
14 and you shall separate them from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that they may be for me.
и да отлучиши левиты от среды сынов Израилевых, и будут Мне:
15 And after this, they shall enter the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to serve me. And so shall you purify and consecrate them as an oblation to the Lord. For they were given to me as a gift from the sons of Israel.
и по сих да внидут левиты делати дела скинии свидения: и да очистиши их, и отдаси я пред Господем: яко отдание отданы сии Мне суть от среды сынов Израилевых:
16 I have accepted them in place of the firstborn which open every womb in Israel.
вместо отверзающих всяка ложесна первенцев всех от сынов Израилевых, приях я Себе:
17 For all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, as much from men as from beasts, are mine. From the day when I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified them to myself.
яко Мне есть всяк первенец от сынов Израилевых, от человека до скота: в день в оньже поразих всякаго первенца в земли Египетстей, освятих я Себе,
18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
и взях левиты вместо всякаго первенца сынов Израилевых,
19 And I have delivered them as a gift to Aaron and his sons, from the midst of the people, in order to serve me, for Israel, in the tabernacle of the covenant, and in order to pray for them, lest there be a scourge among the people, if they were to dare to approach to my Sanctuary.”
и отдах левиты отданием Аарону и сыном его от среды сынов Израилевых делати дела сынов Израилевых в скинии свидения и умилостивляти о сынех Израилевых: да не будет язва на сынех Израилевых, внегда приступати им к святым.
20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the multitude of the sons of Israel, accomplished all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites.
И сотвори Моисей и Аарон и весь сонм сынов Израилевых левитом, якоже заповеда Господь Моисею о левитех, тако сотвориша им сынове Израилевы.
21 And they were purified, and they washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lord, and he prayed for them,
И очистишася левити и испраша ризы своя: и отдаде я Аарон отдание пред Господем, и помолися о них Аарон, очищения ради их.
22 so that, having been purified, they might enter to their duties in the tabernacle of the covenant before Aaron and his sons. Just as the Lord had instructed Moses about the Levites, so was it done.
И но сих внидоша левити служити службы своя в скинии свидения пред Аароном и пред сыны его: якоже повеле Господь Моисею о левитех, тако сотвориша им.
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
И рече Господь к Моисею глаголя:
24 “This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years and above, they shall enter to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
сие есть еже о левитех: от двадесяти пяти лет и вышше, да внидут служити служение в скинии свидения:
25 And when they will have completed the fiftieth year of age, they shall cease to serve.
и от пятидесяти лет да отстанут от служения и не служат ктому.
26 And they shall be the ministers of their brothers in the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to care for the things that have been commended to them, but not to perform the works themselves. So shall you assign the Levites in their duties.”
И да служат братия его в скинии свидения еже стрещи стражи, дел же да не делают. Тако сотвориши левитом в стражах их.
