民数記 8
1 ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2 アロンに告て之に言へ汝燈火を燃す時は七の燈盞をして均く燈臺の前を照さしむべし
Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.
3 アロンすなはち然なし燈火を燈臺の前の方にむけて燃せりヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる如し
And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof [so as to give light] in front of the candlestick, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
4 燈臺の作法は是のごとし是は槌にて椎て作れる者即ちその臺座よりその花まで槌にて椎て作れる者なりモーセ、ヱホバの己に示したまへる式樣にてらしてこの燈臺を作れり
And this was the work of the candlestick, beaten work of gold; unto the base thereof, [and] unto the flowers thereof, it was beaten work: according unto the pattern which Jehovah had showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
5 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6 レビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より取てこれを潔めよ
Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 汝かく彼らに爲て之を潔むべし即ち罪を潔むる水を彼等に灑ぎかけ彼等にその身をことごとく剃しめその衣服を洗はしめて之を潔め
And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
8 而して彼等に若き牡牛一匹と麥粉に油を和たる者を取しめよ汝また別に若き牡牛を罪祭のために取べし
Then let them take a young bullock, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering.
9 斯て汝レビ人を集會の幕屋の前に携きたりてイスラエルの子孫の全會を集め
And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel:
10 而してレビ人をヱホバの前に進ましめてイスラエルの子孫に其手をレビ人の上に按しむべし
and thou shalt present the Levites before Jehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites:
11 而してイスラエルの子孫の爲にレビ人を搖祭となしてヱホバの前に献ぐべし是彼らをしてヱホバの勤務を爲しめんためなり
and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Jehovah for a wave-offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Jehovah.
12 斯て汝レビ人にその手をかの牛の頭に按しめその一を燔祭となしてヱホバに献げ之をもてレビ人のために贖罪をなすべし
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and offer thou the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, unto Jehovah, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 即ちレビ人をアロンとその子等の前に立しめ之を搖祭となしてヱホバに献ぐべし
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto Jehovah.
14 汝レビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より區分ちレビ人をしてわが所屬とならしむべし
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.
15 斯て後レビ人は入て集會の幕屋の役事をなすべし汝かれらを潔め之を献げて搖祭となすべし
And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of meeting: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering.
16 彼らはイスラエルの子孫の中よりして我に献げらるる者なりイスラエルの子孫の中なる始に生れたる者すなはちその首出子の代に我かれらを取なり
For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of all that openeth the womb, even the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
17 イスラエルの子孫の中の首出子は人たるも獣たるも凡てわが所屬となるべし其は我エジプトの地において首出子を盡く撃ころしたる時に彼等を聖者となして我に屬せしめたればなり
For all the first-born among the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
18 是をもて我イスラエルの子孫の中の一切の首出子の代にレビ人を取なり
And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
19 我イスラエルの子孫の中よりレビ人を取て之をアロンとその子等に與へ之をして集合の幕屋においてイスラエルの子孫に代てその役事を爲しめまたイスラエルの子孫のために贖罪をなさしめん是イスラエルの子孫が聖所に近く時にイスラエルの子孫の中に災害の起ざらんためなり
And 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; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
20 モーセとアロンおよびイスラエルの子孫の全會衆ヱホバがレビ人の事につきてモーセに命じたまへる所に悉くしたがひてレビ人におこなへり即ちイスラエルの子孫かくの如く彼等に行ひたり
Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the Levites: according unto all that Jehovah commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
21 レビ人是に於てその身を潔め衣服を洗ひたればアロンかれらをヱホバの前に献て搖祭となしアロンまた彼らのために贖罪をなして之を潔めたり
And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes: and Aaron offered them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 斯て後レビ人は集會の幕屋に入てアロンとその子等の前にてその役事を爲り彼等はレビ人の事につきてヱホバのモーセに命じたまへる所に循ひて斯のごとく之を行ひたり
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
23 ヱホバまたモーセに告て言たまはく
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
24 レビ人は斯なすべし即ち二十五歳以上の者は軍団に入て集會の幕屋の役事をなすべし
This is that which belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service in the work of the tent of meeting:
25 然ど五十歳よりは軍団を退きて休み重て役事をなすべからず
and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the work, and shall serve no more,
26 唯集會の幕屋においてその兄弟等をつかさどり且伺ひ守ることを勤むべし役事を爲すべからず汝レビ人をしてその職務をなさしむるには斯のごとくなすべし
but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.
