¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

²Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

²Hovor Áronovi a povieš mu: Keď rozsvietiš lampy, do popredia svietnika bude svietiť sedem lámp.

³And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.

³A Áron učinil tak, do popredia svietnika rozsvietil jeho lampy, tak ako prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi.

⁴And 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 showed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

⁴A práca svietnika bola toto: bol z kujného zlata; od svojho drieku až po svoje kvety celý bol z kujného zlata, zhotovený podľa vzoru, ktorý ukázal Hospodin Mojžišovi, taký učinil svietnik.

⁵And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁵A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

⁶Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

⁶Vezmi Levitov zpomedzi synov Izraelových a očisti ich.

⁷And 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.

⁷A takýmto spôsobom ich očistíš: Pokropíš ich vodou, očisťujúcou od hriechu, a dajú, aby prešla britva po celom ich tele, operú svoje rúcho a tak sa očistia.

⁸Then 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.

⁸A vezmú junca i jeho obilnú obeť, bielu múku jemnú, zamiesenú v oleji, a druhého junca vezmeš na obeť za hriech.

⁹And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:

⁹Potom povieš Levitom, aby pristúpili pred stán shromaždenia, a shromaždíš celú obec synov Izraelových.

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

¹⁰A dovedieš Levitov pred Hospodina, a synovia Izraelovi vzložia svoje ruky na Levitov.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹A Áron bude sem a ta vznášať Levitov obeťou povznášania pred Hospodinom od synov Izraelových a budú nato, aby konali službu Hospodinovu.

¹²And 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.

¹²Na to Levitovia vzložia svoje ruky na hlavu juncom, a ty obetuj jedného obeťou za hriech a druhého zápalnou obeťou Hospodinovi, aby si pokryl hriech na Levitoch.

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

¹³A postavíš Levitov pred Árona a pred jeho synov a budeš ich sem a ta vznášať obeťou povznášania Hospodinovi.

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

¹⁴A oddelíš Levitov zprostred synov Izraelových, a tak budú Levitovia moji.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Potom vojdú Levitovia, aby slúžili stánu shromaždenia. A tedy očistíš ich a budeš ich sem a ta vznášať obeťou povznášania,

¹⁶For 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.

¹⁶lebo mne sú cele daní zpomedzi synov Izraelových namiesto všetkého toho, čo otvára ktorýkoľvek život; za prvorodených všetkých zo synov Izraelových som ich vzal sebe,

¹⁷For 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.

¹⁷lebo moje je všetko prvorodené medzi synmi Izraelovými jako z ľudí tak i z hoviad; toho dňa, ktorého som bil všetko prvorodené v Egyptskej zemi, posvätil som ich sebe.

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

¹⁸A tedy vzal som si Levitov namiesto všetkých prvorodených medzi synmi Izraelovými.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹A zase ja som dal Levitov za vlastných Áronovi a jeho synom zpomedzi synov Izraelových, aby konali službu miesto synov Izraelových v stáne shromaždenia a aby pokrývali hriech na synoch Izraelových, aby nebolo medzi synmi Izraelovými rany, keď by sa blížili synovia Izraelovi svätyni.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰A Mojžiš a Áron i celá obec synov Izraelových učinili Levitom všetko tak, ako to prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi o Levitoch, tak im učinili synovia Izraelovi.

²¹And 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.

²¹A tak sa očistili Levitovia od hriechu a oprali svoje rúcha, a Áron ich sem a ta vznášal obeťou povznášania pred Hospodinom a pokryl na nich hriech, Áron, aby ich očistil.

²²And 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.

²²A potom vošli Levitovia, aby konali svoju službu v stáne shromaždenia pred Áronom a pred jeho synmi, tak ako prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi o Levitoch, tak im učinili.

²³And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²³A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

²⁴This 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:

²⁴Ešte toto čo do Levitov: Vo veku od dvadsiateho piateho roku a vyše vojde Levita, aby konal prácu, miesto práce vo vojsku, v službe stánu shromaždenia.

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

²⁵A od päťdesiateho roku veku navráti sa každý od práce tejto služby a nebude viacej slúžiť.

²⁶But 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.

²⁶Ale bude posluhovať svojim bratom v stáne shromaždenia tým, že bude strážiť stráž, ale služby nebude konať. Tak učiníš Levitom v ich strážach.
