1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
1 Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne ka ne:
1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2“Speak to Aaron, and tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.’”
2 «Ma salaŋ Haruna se ka ne: Saaya kaŋ ni ga fitilley diyandi, i fitilla iyya no ga kaari fitilla suntulo gaa.»
2Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.
3Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
3 Yaadin mo no Haruna te. A na fitilley diyandi fitilla suntulo gaa, mate kaŋ Rabbi ci Musa se.
3And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof [so as to give light] in front of the candlestick, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
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.
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.
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.
5Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
5 Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne ka ne:
5And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6“Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
6 «Ma Lawitey suuban Israyla izey game ra, k'i fay waani.
6Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
9You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
9 Ni ma kande Lawitey kubayyaŋ hukumo jine. Ma Israyla izey jama kulu margu.
9And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel:
10You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
10 Ni ma Lawitey kayandi Rabbi jine. Israyla izey mo ga ngey kambey salle Lawitey boŋ.
10and thou shalt present the Levites before Jehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites:
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.
11 Haruna mo ga Lawitey salle Rabbi se. Nooyaŋ no kaŋ i ga salle Israyla izey se, hal i ma Rabbi saajaw goyey te.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
13 Kala ni ma Lawitey kayandi Haruna nda nga izey jine, k'i salle danga nooyaŋ Rabbi se.
13And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto Jehovah.
14Thus you shall 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.
14Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.
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.
15 Ni m'i fay waani k'i salle danga nooyaŋ. Woodin banda no Lawitey ga furo ka kubayyaŋ hukumo goyo te.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
18I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
18 Ay na Lawitey sambu mo Israyla hay-jiney kulu gurbi ra.
18And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
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.”
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.»
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
23Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23 Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne ka ne:
23And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
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;
24 «Lawitey sanni neeya: za jiiri waranka cindi gu izey ka koy beene, i ga furo kubayyaŋ hukumo ra, ka kookari a goyo ra.
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:
25and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,
25 D'i to jiiri waygu me, i ga goyo jisi. I si ye ka saajaw te koyne.
25and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the work, and shall serve no more,
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.”
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.»
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.
