< Numbers 8 >

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses saying,
Nagsao ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
“Kasaom ni Aaron. Ibagam kenkuana, 'Masapul a dagiti pito a pagsilawan ket lawaganda ti sangoanan iti kandelero no sindiam dagitoy.'”
3 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Inaramid ni Aaron daytoy. Sinindianna dagiti pagsilawan iti kandelero a manglawag ti sangoanan daytoy, kas imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises.
4 And this was the work of the candlestick: [it was] of beaten gold; from its base to its flowers was it beaten work; according to the form which Jehovah had shewn Moses, so had he made the candlestick.
Naaramid ti kandelero iti kastoy a wagas: impakita ni Yahweh ti pagtuladan iti daytoy kenni Moises: napitpit a balitok manipud iti puonna inggana iti tuktokna, nga addaan kadagiti napitpit a kopa a kasla sabsabong.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
“Alaem dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel ket dalusam ida.
7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them water of purification from sin; and they shall pass the razor over all their flesh, and shall wash their garments, and make themselves clean.
Aramidem daytoy a kas panangdalus kadakuada: Iwarsim kadakuada ti danum a pangdalus. Pakuskosam kadakuada ti entero a bagida, labaanda dagiti pagan-anayda, ket iti kastoy a wagas madalusan ti bagbagida.
8 And they shall take a young bullock and its oblation of fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
Kalpasanna, pangalaem ida iti kalakian a baka ken daton a trigo a naaramid nga arina a nagamay iti lana. Pangalaem ida iti sabali a kalakian a baka a kas daton gapu iti basol.
9 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt gather together the whole assembly of the children of Israel.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanan iti tabernakulo, ken ummongem ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao ti Israel.
10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before Jehovah; and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti sangoanak, Siak ni Yahweh. Masapul nga ipatay dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti im-imada kadagiti Levita.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a wave-offering before Jehovah from the children of Israel, and they shall perform the service of Jehovah.
Masapul nga idaton ni Aaron dagiti Levita iti sangoanak, idatagna ida a kasla nakatag-ayda ti nangato iti sangoananna, iti biang dagiti tattao ti Israel. Masapul nga aramidenna daytoy tapno mapagserbiandak dagiti Levita.
12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and thou shalt offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, to Jehovah, to make atonement for the Levites.
Masapul nga ikabil dagiti Levita dagiti imada kadagiti ulo dagiti kalakian a baka. Masapul a mangidatonka iti maysa a kalakian a baka para iti daton gapu iti basol ken ti sabali a kalakian a baka para iti daton a maipuor a para kaniak, a pangabbong ti basol dagiti Levita.
13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave-offering to Jehovah.
Idatagmo dagiti Levita iti imatang ni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki, ken itag-aymo ida a kas daton kaniak.
14 And thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, that the Levites may be mine.
Iti daytoy a wagas, masapul nga isinam dagiti Levita manipud kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Kukuakto dagiti Levita.
15 And afterwards shall the Levites come in to do the service of the tent of meeting. And thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them as a wave-offering.
Kalpasan dayta, masapul a sumrek dagiti Levita nga agserbi iti uneg ti tabernakulo. Masapul a dalusam ida. Masapul nga itag-aymo ida kaniak a kas daton.
16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of every one that breaketh open the womb, instead of every firstborn among the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
Aramidem daytoy, gapu ta kukuak laeng ida manipud kadagiti tattao iti Israel. Isuda ti mangsukat iti tunggal anak a lalaki a manglukat ti aanakan, dagiti inauna dagiti amin a kaputotan ti Israel. Innalak dagiti Levita para kaniak.
17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both of man and beast; on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed them to myself.
Kukuak amin nga inauna manipud kadagiti tattao iti Israel, dagiti tattao ken dagiti ay-ayup. Iti aldaw nga innalak dagiti bibiag dagiti inauna nga annak idiay daga ti Egipto, inlasinko ida para kaniak.
18 And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Innalak dagiti Levita kadagiti tattao ti Israel imbes a dagiti amin nga inauna nga annak.
19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to perform the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel draw near to the sanctuary.
Intedko dagiti Levita a kas sagut kenni Aaron ken kadagiti annakna a lallaki. Innalak ida kadagiti tattao iti Israel a mangaramid ti trabaho dagiti tattao ti Israel iti uneg ti tabernakulo. Intedko ida a mangsubbot kadagiti basbasol dagiti tattao ti Israel tapno awan ti dididgra a mangdangran kadagiti tattao no umasidegda iti nasantoan a disso.”
20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the assembly of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites: so did the children of Israel to them.
Inaramid daytoy da Moises, Aaron ken ti sibubukel a gimong dagiti tattao iti Israel kadagiti Levita. Inaramidda amin nga imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises maipapan kadagiti Levita. Inaramid daytoy dagiti tattao iti Israel kadakuada.
21 And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their garments; and Aaron offered them as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Dinalusan dagiti Levita dagiti bagbagida manipud iti basol babaen iti pananglabada kadagiti pagan-anayda. Indatag ida ni Aaron a kas daton kenni Yahweh ken inaramidna ti pannakaabbong a maipaay kadakuada, tapno madalusanna ida.
22 And afterwards the Levites came in to perform their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons; as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they to them.
Kalpasan dayta, simrek dagiti Levita tapno agtrabahoda iti uneg ti tabernakulo iti imatang da Aaron ken dagiti annakna a lallaki. Sigun daytoy iti imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises maipanggep kadagiti Levita. Trinatoda amin dagiti Levita iti kastoy a wagas.
23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana,
24 This is that which concerneth the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward shall he come to labour in the work of the service of the tent of meeting.
“Amin dagitoy ket para kadagiti Levita nga agtawen iti duapulo ket lima nga agpangato. Masapul a makitiponda kadagiti dadduma a kakaduada nga agserbi iti uneg iti tabernakulo.
25 And from fifty years old he shall retire from the labour of the service, and shall serve no more;
Masapul a sumardengdan nga agserserbi iti kastoy a wagas iti tawen a lima pulo. Iti dayta a tawen, saandan a masapul nga agserbi pay.
26 but he shall minister with his brethren in the tent of meeting, and keep the charge, but he shall not serve [in] the service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites with regard to their charges.
Mabalinda a tulongan dagiti kakabsatda nga agtultuloy nga agtrabaho iti uneg iti tabernakulo, ngem saandan a rumbeng nga agserbi pay. Masapul nga idalanmo dagiti Levita kadagitoy amin a banbanag.”
