¹A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

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

²Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.

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

³And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof [so as to give light] in front of the candlestick, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

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.

⁴And 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.

⁵A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

⁵And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

⁶Vezmi Levitov zpomedzi synov Izraelových a očisti ich.

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

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.

⁷And 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.

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

⁸Then 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.

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

⁹And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel:

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

¹⁰and thou shalt present the Levites before Jehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites:

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

¹¹and 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.

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.

¹²And 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.

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

¹³And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto Jehovah.

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

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

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

¹⁵And 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.

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,

¹⁶For 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.

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.

¹⁷For 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.

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

¹⁸And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.

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.

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 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.

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.

²⁰Thus 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.

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.

²¹And 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.

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.

²²And 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.

²³A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

²³And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

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.

²⁴This 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:

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

²⁵and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the work, and shall serve no more,

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

²⁶but 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.
