1 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 « قُلْ لِهارُونَ: ‹حِينَ تُشعِلُ السُّرُجَ، فَيَنْبَغِي أنْ تُضِيءَ السُّرُجُ السَّبعَةُ المِنطَقَةَ الواقِعَةَ أمامَ المَنارَةِ.›»

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

3 ف َعَمِلَ هارُونُ ذَلِكَ، إذْ أشعَلَ السُّرُجَ لِتُضِيءَ المِنطَقَةَ الواقِعَةَ أمامَ المَنارَةِ كَما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى.

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

4 و َقَدْ صُنِعَتِ المَنارَةُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مَطرُوقٍ مِنْ قاعِدَتِها وَحَتَّى زَهراتِها. صُنِعَتِ حَسَبَ الشَّكلِ الَّذِي أظهَرَهُ اللهُ لِمُوسَى. تَكرِيسُ اللّاوِيِّين

And this work of the lampstand was of beaten gold, from the shaft thereof unto the flowers thereof; it was beaten work; according unto the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the lampstand.

5 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

6 « خُذِ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَينِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ وَطَهِّرْهُمْ.

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

7 و َهَذا ما تَفْعَلُهُ لِتَطهِيرِهِمْ: رُشَّ ماءَ التَّطهِيرِ عَلَيهِمْ. وَلْيَحلِقُوا كُلَّ شَعرِ جِسمِهِمْ. وَلْيَغسِلُوا ثِيابَهُمْ وَيُطَهِّرُوا أنفُسَهُمْ.

And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of atonement for sin upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and be clean.

8 « ثُمَّ لِيَأخُذُوا ثَوراً صَغِيراً مِنَ القَطِيعِ، وَتَقدِمَةَ حُبُوبٍ مِنَ الطَّحِينِ الجَيِّدِ مَمْزُوجاً بِزَيتٍ. وَلِيَأخُذُوا ثَوراً صَغِيراً آخَرَ مِنَ القَطِيعِ لأجلِ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ.

Then let them take a young bullock with his present, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou offer as sin.

9 ث ُمَّ تُحضِرُ اللّاوِيِّينَ أمامَ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ. وَتَجمَعُ جَمِيعَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ.

And thou shalt offer the Levites before the tabernacle of the testimony, and thou shalt gather the whole congregation of the sons of Israel together;

10 و َحِينَ تُحضِرُ اللّاوِيِّينَ إلَى مَحْضَرِ اللهِ ، لِيَضَعِ الشَّعبُ أيدِيَهُمْ عَلَيهِمْ.

and thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD, and the sons of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites;

11 و َهَكَذا يُقَدِّمُ هارُونُ اللّاوِيِّينَ تَقدِمَةً مِنْ بَني إسْرائِيلَ وَيَرفَعُهُمْ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ ، لِكَي يَخدِمُوا اللهَ.

and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave offering of the sons of Israel, and they shall serve in the ministry of the LORD.

12 « يَضَعُ اللّاوِيُّونَ أيدِيَهُمْ عَلَى رَأسَيِّ الثَّورَينِ، ثُمَّ يُقَدَّمُ أحَدُهُما ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَالآخَرُ ذَبيْحَةً صَاعِدَةً للهِ. وَيَتَطَهَّرُ اللّاوِيُّونَ بِهاتَينِ الذَّبيحَتينِ.

And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks; and thou shalt offer the one as the sin, and the other as a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to reconcile the Levites.

13 « هَكَذا تُعَيِّنُ اللّاوِيِّينَ وَتُخَصِّصُهُمْ لِمُساعَدَةِ هارُونَ وَأبْنائِهِ. تُقَدِّمُهُمْ تَقدِمَةً فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ.

And thou shalt cause the Levites to present themselves before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.

14 خ َصِّصِ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَينِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ لِي. اللّاوِيُّونَ لِي.

And thou shalt separate the Levites from among the sons of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.

15 « وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ، يَصِيرُ اللّاوِيُّونَ مُؤَهَّلِينَ لِلخِدمَةِ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ، حِينَ تَكُونُ قَدْ طَهَّرْتَهُمْ وَقَدَّمْتَهُمْ للهِ.

Thus shall the Levites go in to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony; and thou shalt cleanse them and wave them for an offering.

16 ل أنَّهُمْ سَيَكُونُونَ مُكَرَّسِينَ لِي بِالكامِلِ مِنْ بَينِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ. أخَذْتُهُمْ بَدَلَ كُلِّ فاتِحِ رَحمٍ، أي بَدَلَ كُلِّ أبْكارِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ.

For they are completely given unto me from among the sons of Israel, instead of each one that opens the womb; instead of the firstborn of all the sons of Israel, I have taken them for myself.

17 ف َأبْكارُ بَني إسْرائِيلَ، مِنَ النّاسِ وَمِنَ الحَيواناتِ، لِي. فِي اليَومِ الَّذِي ضَرَبْتُ فِيهِ كُلَّ الأبْكارِ فِي أرْضِ مِصرَ، أفرَزْتُ أبْكارَ إسْرائِيلَ لِيَكُونُوا لِي.

For all the firstborn of the sons of Israel are mine, both of man and of animals; from the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

18 ل َكِنِّي سَآخُذُ اللّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ أبْكارِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ.

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

19 و َسَأُعطِي اللّاوِيِّينَ كُلَّهُمْ لِهارُونَ وَأبْنائِهِ مِنْ بَينِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ لِيَقُومُوا بِخِدمَةِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ، وَلِيُساعِدُوا فِي تَقْدِيمِ الذَّبائِحِ عَنْ بَني إسْرائِيلَ، لِئَلّا تأتِيَ كارِثَةٌ عَلَى بَني إسْرائِيلَ لاقتِرابِهِمْ كَثيراً مِنَ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ.»

And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the sons of Israel, that they may serve the ministry of the sons of Israel in the tabernacle of the testimony and reconcile the sons of Israel, that there be no plague in the sons of Israel when the sons of Israel come near unto the sanctuary.

20 ف َفَعَلَ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ وَكُلُّ بَني إسْرائِيلَ هَذا الأمرَ. وَفَعَلَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ لِلّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ ما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى بِهِ.

And Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the sons of Israel did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the sons of Israel unto them.

21 ف َطَهَّرَ اللّاوِيُّونَ أنفُسَهُمْ، وَغَسَلُوا ثِيابَهُمْ. وَقَدَّمَهُمْ هارُونُ تَقدِمَةً فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ. وَكَفَّرَ عَنْ خَطاياهُمْ لِيُطَهِّرَهُمْ.

And the sin was removed from the Levites, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before the LORD; and Aaron reconciled them to cleanse them.

22 و َبَعدَ ذَلِكَ، صارَ اللّاوِيُّونَ مُؤَهَّلِينَ لِلقِيامِ بِخِدمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ تَحتَ إشرافِ هارُونَ وَأبْنائِهِ. عُمِلَ بِاللّاوِيِّينَ بِحَسَبِ ما أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى بِهِ.

And thus went the Levites in to serve in their ministry in the tabernacle of the testimony before Aaron and before his sons; in the manner that the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

23 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

24 « هَذا ما فُرِضَ عَلَى اللّاوِيِّينَ: كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ يَبلُغُ خَمْساً وَعِشرِينَ سَنَةً أوْ أكثَرَ يَكُونُ مُؤَهَّلاً لِلخِدمَةِ فِي أعمالِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ.

This regarding the Levites from twenty-five years old and upward, they shall go in to serve in the host of the tabernacle of the testimony.

25 ل َكِنْ فِي سِنِّ الخَمسِينِ، يَنْبَغِي عَلَى كُلِّ لاوِيٍّ أنْ يَتَقاعَدَ مِنْ خِدمَةِ أعمالِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ، وَيَتَوَقَّفَ عَنْ عَمَلِها.

And from the age of fifty years they shall return from their ministry unto the host and shall never serve again,

26 ي ُمكِنُهُ أنْ يُساعِدَ اللّاوِيِّينَ الآخَرِينَ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ بِالحِراسَةِ. لَكِنَّهُ لا يَقُومَ بِالأعمالِ الثَّقِيلَةِ. هَكَذا تَتَعامَلُ مَعَ اللّاوِيِّينَ فِي خِدمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ.»

but shall serve with their brethren in the tabernacle of the testimony, to stand guard, even though they do not serve in the ministry. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
