¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹ Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne ka ne:

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

² «Ma salaŋ Haruna se ka ne: Saaya kaŋ ni ga fitilley diyandi, i fitilla iyya no ga kaari fitilla suntulo gaa.»

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

³ Yaadin mo no Haruna te. A na fitilley diyandi fitilla suntulo gaa, mate kaŋ Rabbi ci Musa se.

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.

⁴ Fitilla suntulo din wura danante no. Za a tiksa gaa kala boosey gaa, kulu danay goy no. Deedando kaŋ Rabbi cabe Musa se boŋ, yaadin no a na fitilla suntulo te.

⁵And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

⁵ Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne ka ne:

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

⁶ «Ma Lawitey suuban Israyla izey game ra, k'i fay waani.

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.

⁷ Mate kaŋ ni ga te k'i hanandi neeya: ni ma hanandiyaŋ hari say-say i gaa. I ma ngey gaahamey kulu cabu, ka ngey bankaarayey nyuna. Yaadin gaa no i ga hanan.

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.

⁸ Woodin banda i ma sambu yeej'ize fo, nga nda nga ŋwaari sarga, danga hamni baano kaasumante da ji. Yeej'ize fo mo ni g'a sambu zunubi se sargay.

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:

⁹ Ni ma kande Lawitey kubayyaŋ hukumo jine. Ma Israyla izey jama kulu margu.

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

¹⁰ Ni ma Lawitey kayandi Rabbi jine. Israyla izey mo ga ngey kambey salle Lawitey boŋ.

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.

¹¹ Haruna mo ga Lawitey salle Rabbi se. Nooyaŋ no kaŋ i ga salle Israyla izey se, hal i ma Rabbi saajaw goyey te.

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.

¹² Lawitey mo ga ngey kambey dake yeej'izey boŋey boŋ. Ni ma yeej'ize fo salle zunubi se sargay, afa mo sargay summaare kaŋ i ga ton Rabbi se, hal i ma Lawitey zunubey yaafa i se.

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

¹³ Kala ni ma Lawitey kayandi Haruna nda nga izey jine, k'i salle danga nooyaŋ Rabbi se.

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

¹⁴ Yaadin no ni ga Lawitey kaa waani nd'a Israyla izey game ra. Lawitey ga ciya ay wane yaŋ.

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.

¹⁵ Ni m'i fay waani k'i salle danga nooyaŋ. Woodin banda no Lawitey ga furo ka kubayyaŋ hukumo goyo te.

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.

¹⁶ Zama i n'ay no nd'ey Israyla game ra, i ga furo borey kaŋ yaŋ ga hay-tu fiti gurbi ra, sanda Israyla izey hay-jiney kulu gurbi ra. Ay na Lawitey ta ay boŋ se.

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.

¹⁷ Zama Israyla izey hay-jiney kulu ya ay wane yaŋ no, boro nda alman. Hano kaŋ hane ay na hay-jiney kulu kar Misira laabu ra, ay na Israyla hay-jiney kaa waani ay boŋ se.

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

¹⁸ Ay na Lawitey sambu mo Israyla hay-jiney kulu gurbi ra.

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.

¹⁹ Ay na Lawitey kaa Israyla izey game ra k'i no Haruna nda nga izey se, nooyaŋ no zama i ma Israyla izey goyo te kubayyaŋ hukumo ra. I ma sasabandiyaŋ te mo Israyla izey se, hala balaaw kulu ma si te Israyla izey game ra, waati kaŋ i ga maan Nangoray Hanna gaa.»

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.

²⁰ Kala Musa nda Haruna nda Israyla izey jama kulu na woodin te Lawitey se. Mate kulu kaŋ Rabbi ci Musa se Lawitey boŋ, yaadin cine no Israyla izey te i se.

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.

²¹ Lawitey binde na ngey boŋ hanandi. I na ngey bankaarayey nyuna. Haruna mo n'i salle danga nooyaŋ Rabbi jine. Haruna na zunubi yaafayaŋ te i se mo k'i fay waani.

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.

²² Woodin banda Lawitey furo ka ngey goyo te kubayyaŋ hukumo ra Haruna nda nga izey jine. Mate kaŋ cine Rabbi ci Musa se Lawitey boŋ, yaadin mo no i te i se.

²³And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²³ Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne ka ne:

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:

²⁴ «Lawitey sanni neeya: za jiiri waranka cindi gu izey ka koy beene, i ga furo kubayyaŋ hukumo ra, ka kookari a goyo ra.

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

²⁵ D'i to jiiri waygu me, i ga goyo jisi. I si ye ka saajaw te koyne.

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.

²⁶ Amma i ga goro ngey nya-izey banda kubayyaŋ hukumo ra, ka haggoy da cindey i ma goyo te hal a ma boori. Amma ngey wo si goy kulu te. Yaadin no ni ga te Lawitey se, wo kaŋ yaŋ i ga haggoy boŋ.»
