¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

²“Speak to Aaron, and tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.’”

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

³Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

⁴This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.

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.

⁵Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁵A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

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

⁶Vezmi Levitov zpomedzi synov Izraelových a očisti ich.

⁷You shall do this to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.

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 bull, and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall 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.

⁹You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.

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

¹⁰You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,

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

¹¹and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yahweh.

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

¹²“The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make 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.

¹³You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.

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

¹⁴Thus you shall 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.

¹⁵“After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave 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 to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to 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 among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the 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.

¹⁸I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

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

¹⁹I 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 near to 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.

²⁰Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to 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.

²¹The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh; and Aaron made 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.

²²After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to 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.

²³Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²³A Hospodin hovoril Mojžišovi a riekol:

²⁴“This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;

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 on the work, 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 brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall do no service. You shall do thus to the Levites concerning their duties.”

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