Numbers 8

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

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

Mitenena amin'i Arona hoe: Raha mampirehitra ny jiro fito ianao, dia ataovy mahazava ny eo anoloan'ny fanaovan-jiro izy.

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

Dia nataon'i Arona izany, fa nampirehetiny ny jiro mba hahazava ny eo anoloan'ny fanaovan-jiro, araka izay efa nandidian'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy.

And 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 shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.

Ary izao no toetry ny fanaovan-jiro; volamena novoasana izy; hatramin'ny faladiany sy ny voniny aza dia samy novoasana avokoa; araka ny endrika izay nasehon'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy no nanaovany ny fanaovan-jiro.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

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

Alao ny Levita avy amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely, ka diovy izy.

And 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.

Ary izao no hataonao aminy hanadiovana azy: Fafazo rano fanadiovana izy, ary asaovy haratany avokoa ny tenany rehetra, ary aoka hosasany ny fitafiany, ka dia hadio izy.

Then 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.

Dia asaovy maka vantotr'ombilahy iray izy mbamin'ny fanatitra hohanina fombany, dia koba tsara toto voaharo diloilo; ary vantotr'ombilahy iray koa no halainao ho fanatitra noho ny ota.

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

Ary ento ny Levita hankeo anoloan'ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary vorio ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra.

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

Ary ento ny Levita hankeo anatrehan'i Jehovah; ary ny Zanak'Isiraely hametraka ny tànany aminy;

And 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.

ary Arona dia hanatitra ny Levita eo anatrehan'i Jehovah ho fanatitra ahevaheva avy amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely, mba hanao ny fanompoana an'i Jehovah izy.

And 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.

Ary ny Levita hametraka ny tànany amin'ny lohan'ny vantotr'ombilahy roa; dia atero ny anankiray ho fanatitra noho ny ota, ary ny anankiray kosa ho fanatitra dorana ho an'i Jehovah, hanaovana fanavotana ho an'ny Levita.

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

Ary apetraho eo anatrehan'i Arona sy ny zanany ny Levita, ka atero ho fanatitra ahevaheva ho an'i Jehovah izy.

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

Ary ampiavaho amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely ny Levita, dia ho Ahy izy.

And 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.

Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hiditra ny Levita hanao fanompoana ao amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana. Dia hodiovinao toy izany izy ka haterinao ho fanatitra ahevaheva;

For 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.

fa efa nomena ho Ahy avy tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely mihitsy izy; ho solon'izay voalohan-teraka rehetra, dia izay lahimatoa rehetra amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely, no nanalako azy ho Ahy.

For 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.

Fa Ahy ny voalohan-teraka rehetra amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely, na olona na biby fiompy; tamin'ilay andro namelezako ny voalohan-teraka rehetra tany amin'ny tany Egypta no nanamasinako azy ho Ahy.

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

Ary efa nalaiko ny Levita ho solon'ny lahimatoa rehetra amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely.

And 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.

Ary nomeko ho an'i Arona sy ny zanany mihitsy ny Levita, avy amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely, hanao ny fanompoan'ny Zanak'Isiraely ao amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana sy hanao fanavotana ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely, mba tsy hisy areti-mandringana hanjo azy, raha manakaiky ny fitoerana masina izy.

And 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.

Dia nataon'i Mosesy sy Arona mbamin'ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, tamin'ny Levita izany; araka izay rehetra efa nandidian'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy ny amin'ny Levita no nataon'ny Zanak'Isiraely taminy.

And 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.

Dia nodiovin'ny Levita ny tenany ho afaka ota, ary nosasany ny fitafiany; ary Arona nanatitra azy ho fanatitra ahevaheva eo anatrehan'i Jehovah sady nanao fanavotana ho azy hanadiovana azy.

And 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.

Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niditra ny Levita hanao ny fihaonana teo anatrehan'i Arona sy ny zanany; araka izay efa nandidian'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy ny amin'ny Levita no nataony taminy.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

This 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:

Ny amin'ny Levita dia izao: Hatramin'ny dimy amby roa-polo taona no ho miakatra izy no hanatona hilatsaka amin'ny antokony hanao ny fanompoana ao amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana;

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

fa rehefa dimam-polo taona kosa izy, dia hiala amin'ny antokon'ny fanompoana ka tsy hanompo intsony;

But 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.

kanefa mahazo manampy ny rahalahiny ao amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana ihany izy mba hitandrina izay anjara-raharaha; fa tsy hanao fanompoana hafa izy. Izany no hataonao amin'ny Levita ny amin'ny anjara-raharahany.
