Habkii Shididda Laambadaha

Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo ku yidhi, Haaruun la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad laambadaha shiddid, toddobada laambadood oo yaryar waa inay ka iftiimaan laambadda horteeda. Oo Haaruunna sidaasuu yeelay, oo wuxuu wada shiday laambadaheedii si ay uga iftiimaan laambadda horteeda, sidii Rabbigu Muuse ku amray. Oo shuqulkii laambaddu wuxuu ahaa dahab la tumay. Tan iyo salkeeda ilaa ubaxeeda waxay wada ahayd dahab la tumay. Sidii Rabbigu Muuse u tusay ayuu laambaddii u sameeyey.

Ka Soociddii Reer Laawi

Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Reer Laawi ka dhex sooc reer binu Israa'iil oo iyaga daahiri. Oo markaad daahirinaysid sidan iyaga ku samee: dushooda waxaad ku rushaysaa biyaha daahirinta, oo iyaguna timaha ha ka xiireen jidhkooda oo dhan, oo dharkoodana ha maydheen, hana isdaahiriyeen. Oo markaas iyagu ha kaxaysteen dibi yar iyo qurbaankiisii hadhuudhka oo ah bur saliid lagu daray, oo dibi kale oo yarna waxaad u kaxaysaa qurbaan dembi. Oo reer Laawi waa inaad hor taagtaa teendhada shirka, oo waa inaad soo shirisaa dadka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. 10 Oo reer Laawi waa inaad keentaa Rabbiga hortiisa, oo reer binu Israa'iilna waa inay gacmaha saaraan reer Laawi. 11 Haaruunna waa inuu reer Laawi Rabbiga hortiisa ugu bixiyaa qurbaan la ruxruxo ahaan reer binu Israa'iil daraaddood, si ay u sameeyaan Rabbiga hawshiisa. 12 Oo reer Laawina waa inay gacmaha saaraan madaxa dibida, oo mid waxaad u bixisaa qurbaan dembi, kan kalena waxaad Rabbiga ugu bixisaa qurbaan la gubo, si aad reer Laawi ugu kafaaro guddid. 13 Oo reer Laawi waa inaad Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa soo hor taagtaa, oo aad Rabbiga ugu bixisaa qurbaan la ruxruxo ahaan. 14 Oo waa inaad reer Laawi sidaas uga soocdaa reer binu Israa'iil, oo reer Laawina kuwaygay ahaan doonaan. 15 Oo markaas dabadeedna reer Laawi ha u galeen inay ka adeegaan teendhada shirka, oo waa inaad iyaga daahirisaa oo qurbaan la ruxruxo ahaan u bixisaa. 16 Waayo, iyaga dhammaantood ayaa la iiga soocay reer binu Israa'iil. Intii lay siin lahaa intii maxal furta oo dhan, kuwaasoo ah curadyada reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, ayaan iyaga qaatay. 17 Waayo, dad iyo duunyaba curadyada reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan anigaa iska leh. Waxaan iyaga quduus ka dhigtay maalintii aan wada laayay curadyadii dalka Masar oo dhan. 18 Oo waxaan qaatay reer Laawi intii aan qaadan lahaa curadyada reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. 19 Oo reer Laawi ayaan reer binu Israa'iil ka soocay oo hadiyad ahaan u siiyey Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa inay reer binu Israa'iil uga adeegaan teendhada shirka iyo inay reer binu Israa'iil u kafaaro gudaan, si aan belaayo ugu dhicin reer binu Israa'iil markii reer binu Israa'iil ay u soo dhowaadaan meesha quduuska ah. 20 Oo Muuse iyo Haaruun iyo shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu sidaasay ku sameeyeen reer Laawi. Wixii reer Laawi ku saabsanaa ee uu Rabbigu Muuse ku amray oo dhan ayay reer binu Israa'iil wada yeeleen. 21 Oo reer Laawina dembi way iska daahiriyeen, oo dharkoodiina way maydheen, markaasaa Haaruun qurbaan la ruxruxo ahaan Rabbiga hortiisa iyaga ugu bixiyey, oo inuu iyaga daahiriyo aawadeed ayaa Haaruun u kafaaro guday. 22 Oo markaas dabadeed ayaa reer Laawi gudaha u galeen inay teendhada shirka kaga adeegaan Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa hortooda, oo wixii reer Laawi ku saabsanaa ee uu Rabbigu Muuse ku amray ayay ku sameeyeen.

23 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, 24 Tanu waa waxa reer Laawi intii shan iyo labaatan sannadood jirta ama ka sii weyn ay leeyihiin inay sameeyaan. Iyagu ha galeen oo ha ka adeegeen hawsha teendhada shirka. 25 Oo markii ay konton jir gaadhaan waa inay ka joogsadaan hawsha ka-adeegiddeeda oo aanay mar dambe adeegin, 26 laakiinse walaalahood teendhada shirka ha kala adeegeen si ay amarka u hayaan laakiinse yaanay hawl dambe qaban. Sidaas waa inaad ka yeeshaa amarrada ku saabsan reer Laawi hawshooda.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the Lord commanded Moses.

And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the Lord had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.

And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:

10 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.

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, unto the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.

13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the Lord.

14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.

16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

19 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 tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an 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 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.

21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the Lord; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.

22 And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:

25 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:

26 But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.

The Seven Lamps

Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.” And Aaron did so: he set up its lamps in front of the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses. And (A)this was the workmanship of the lampstand, hammered work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was hammered work; according to the pattern that the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.

Cleansing of the Levites

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the Levites from among the people of Israel and cleanse them. Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the (B)water of purification upon them, and (C)let them go with a razor over all their body, and wash their clothes and cleanse themselves. Then let them take a bull from the herd and (D)its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, (E)and you shall take another bull from the herd for a sin offering. (F)And you shall bring the Levites before the tent of meeting (G)and assemble the whole congregation of the people of Israel. 10 When you bring the Levites before the Lord, the people of Israel (H)shall lay their hands on the Levites, 11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering from the people of Israel, that they may do the service of the Lord. 12 Then the Levites (I)shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer (J)the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to the Lord to make atonement for the Levites. 13 And you shall set the Levites before Aaron and his sons, and shall offer them as (K)a wave offering to the Lord.

14 “Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the people of Israel, and (L)the Levites shall be mine. 15 And after that the Levites shall go in to serve at the tent of meeting, when you have cleansed them and offered them as a (M)wave offering. 16 For they are (N)wholly given to me from among the people of Israel. (O)Instead of all who open the womb, the firstborn of all the people of Israel, I have taken them for myself. 17 (P)For all the firstborn among the people of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I consecrated them for myself, 18 and I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the people of Israel. 19 (Q)And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to do the service for the people of Israel at the tent of meeting and (R)to make atonement for the people of Israel, (S)that there may be no plague among the people of Israel when the people of Israel come near the sanctuary.”

20 Thus did Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the people of Israel to the Levites. According to all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, the people of Israel did to them. 21 And (T)the Levites purified themselves from sin and washed their clothes, and (U)Aaron offered them as a wave offering before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them. 22 And after that the Levites went in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons; as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

Retirement of the Levites

23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This applies to the Levites: (V)from twenty-five years old and upward they[a] shall come to do duty in the service of the tent of meeting. 25 And from the age of fifty years they shall withdraw from the duty of the service and serve no more. 26 They minister[b] to their brothers in the tent of meeting (W)by keeping guard, but they shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites in assigning their duties.”

2 The order of the lamps. 6 The purifying and offering of the Levites. 24 The age of the Levites when they are received to service, and when they are dismissed.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light toward the [a]forefront of the Candlestick.

And Aaron did so, lighting the lamps thereof toward the forefront of the Candlestick, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And this was the work of the Candlestick, even of gold beaten out with the hammer, both the shaft, and the flower thereof (A)was beaten out with the hammer: [b]according to the pattern which the Lord had showed Moses, so made he the Candlestick.

¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and purify them.

And thus shalt thou do unto them, when thou purifiest them, Sprinkle [c]water of purification upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and wash their clothes: so they shall be clean.

Then they shall take a young bullock with his meat offering of fine flour, mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.

Then thou shalt bring the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and assemble [d]all the Congregation of the children of Israel.

10 Thou shalt bring the Levites also before the Lord, and the [e]children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites.

11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord, as a shake offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.

12 And the Levites shall put their hands upon the heads of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering unto the Lord, that thou mayest make an atonement for the Levites.

13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a shake offering to the Lord.

14 Thus thou shalt separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be (B)mine.

15 And afterward shall the Levites go in, to serve in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt purify them, and offer them as a shake offering.

16 For they are freely given (C)unto me from among the children of Israel, for [f]such as open any womb: for all the firstborn of the children of Israel have I taken them unto me.

17 (D)For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both of man and beast: since the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.

18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel,

19 And have given the Levites as a gift unto Aaron, and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the [g]children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near unto the [h]Sanctuary.

20 ¶ Then Moses and Aaron and all the Congregation of the children of Israel did with the Levites, according unto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites: so did the children of Israel unto them.

21 So the Levites were purified, and washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a shake offering before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement for them, to purify them.

22 And after that, went the Levites in to do their service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, [i]before Aaron and before his sons: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did unto them.

23 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

24 This also belongeth to the Levites: from five and twenty years old and upward, they shall go in, to execute their office in the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

25 And after the age of fifty years, they shall cease from executing the [j]office, and shall serve no more.

26 But they shall minister [k]with their brethren in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keep things committed to their charge, but they shall do no service: thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
