1 M arkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo ku yidhi,

The Lord said to Moses,

2 H aaruun la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad laambadaha shiddid, toddobada laambadood oo yaryar waa inay ka iftiimaan laambadda horteeda.

“Say to Aaron, ‘When you put the seven lamps on the lamp-stand, they should give light in front of the lamp-stand.’”

3 O o Haaruunna sidaasuu yeelay, oo wuxuu wada shiday laambadaheedii si ay uga iftiimaan laambadda horteeda, sidii Rabbigu Muuse ku amray.

And Aaron did so. He put the lamps so they would give light in front of the lamp-stand, as the Lord had told Moses.

4 O o shuqulkii laambaddu wuxuu ahaa dahab la tumay. Tan iyo salkeeda ilaa ubaxeeda waxay wada ahayd dahab la tumay. Sidii Rabbigu Muuse u tusay ayuu laambaddii u sameeyey. Ka Soociddii Reer Laawi

Now this is the way the lamp-stand was made. It was made of beaten gold from the base to its flowers. He made the lamp-stand the way the Lord had shown Moses. The Levites Are Set Apart

5 M arkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

Then the Lord said to Moses,

6 R eer Laawi ka dhex sooc reer binu Israa'iil oo iyaga daahiri.

“Take the Levites from among the people of Israel, and make them clean.

7 O o markaad daahirinaysid sidan iyaga ku samee: dushooda waxaad ku rushaysaa biyaha daahirinta, oo iyaguna timaha ha ka xiireen jidhkooda oo dhan, oo dharkoodana ha maydheen, hana isdaahiriyeen.

To make them clean, put holy water on them that takes away sin. Let them cut all the hair from their body, and wash their clothes, and they shall be clean.

8 O o markaas iyagu ha kaxaysteen dibi yar iyo qurbaankiisii hadhuudhka oo ah bur saliid lagu daray, oo dibi kale oo yarna waxaad u kaxaysaa qurbaan dembi.

Then let them take a young bull and its grain gift of fine flour mixed with oil. Take another young bull for a sin gift.

9 O o reer Laawi waa inaad hor taagtaa teendhada shirka, oo waa inaad soo shirisaa dadka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.

Bring the Levites in front of the meeting tent and gather together all the people of Israel also.

10 O o reer Laawi waa inaad keentaa Rabbiga hortiisa, oo reer binu Israa'iilna waa inay gacmaha saaraan reer Laawi.

Bring the Levites before the Lord and the people of Israel will lay their hands on the Levites.

11 H aaruunna waa inuu reer Laawi Rabbiga hortiisa ugu bixiyaa qurbaan la ruxruxo ahaan reer binu Israa'iil daraaddood, si ay u sameeyaan Rabbiga hawshiisa.

Aaron will give the Levites to the Lord as a wave gift from the people of Israel so they will be able to do the work of the Lord.

12 O o reer Laawina waa inay gacmaha saaraan madaxa dibida, oo mid waxaad u bixisaa qurbaan dembi, kan kalena waxaad Rabbiga ugu bixisaa qurbaan la gubo, si aad reer Laawi ugu kafaaro guddid.

The Levites will lay their hands on the heads of the bulls. They will give one for a sin gift and the other for a burnt gift to the Lord, to pay for the sins of the Levites.

13 O o reer Laawi waa inaad Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa soo hor taagtaa, oo aad Rabbiga ugu bixisaa qurbaan la ruxruxo ahaan.

Then have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons, to give them as a wave gift to the Lord.

14 O o waa inaad reer Laawi sidaas uga soocdaa reer binu Israa'iil, oo reer Laawina kuwaygay ahaan doonaan.

“So you will divide the Levites from the people of Israel. And the Levites will be Mine.

15 O o markaas dabadeedna reer Laawi ha u galeen inay ka adeegaan teendhada shirka, oo waa inaad iyaga daahirisaa oo qurbaan la ruxruxo ahaan u bixisaa.

After that the Levites may go in to work in the meeting tent. But you must make them clean and give them as a wave gift.

16 W aayo, iyaga dhammaantood ayaa la iiga soocay reer binu Israa'iil. Intii lay siin lahaa intii maxal furta oo dhan, kuwaasoo ah curadyada reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, ayaan iyaga qaatay.

For they are all given to Me from among the people of Israel. I have taken them for Myself instead of every first child to be born, the first-born of all the people of Israel.

17 W aayo, dad iyo duunyaba curadyada reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan anigaa iska leh. Waxaan iyaga quduus ka dhigtay maalintii aan wada laayay curadyadii dalka Masar oo dhan.

For every first-born among the people of Israel is Mine, both of man and animal. I set them apart for Myself on the day that I killed all the first-born in the land of Egypt.

18 O o waxaan qaatay reer Laawi intii aan qaadan lahaa curadyada reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.

But I have taken the Levites instead of every first-born among the people of Israel.

19 O o reer Laawi ayaan reer binu Israa'iil ka soocay oo hadiyad ahaan u siiyey Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa inay reer binu Israa'iil uga adeegaan teendhada shirka iyo inay reer binu Israa'iil u kafaaro gudaan, si aan belaayo ugu dhicin reer binu Israa'iil markii reer binu Israa'iil ay u soo dhowaadaan meesha quduuska ah.

And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel. They will do the work of the people of Israel at the meeting tent. By this they take away the sins of the people of Israel. So no trouble will come upon the people of Israel if they come near the meeting tent.”

20 O o Muuse iyo Haaruun iyo shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu sidaasay ku sameeyeen reer Laawi. Wixii reer Laawi ku saabsanaa ee uu Rabbigu Muuse ku amray oo dhan ayay reer binu Israa'iil wada yeeleen.

Moses and Aaron and all the people of Israel did this to the Levites. The people of Israel did to them all the things the Lord had told Moses about the Levites.

21 O o reer Laawina dembi way iska daahiriyeen, oo dharkoodiina way maydheen, markaasaa Haaruun qurbaan la ruxruxo ahaan Rabbiga hortiisa iyaga ugu bixiyey, oo inuu iyaga daahiriyo aawadeed ayaa Haaruun u kafaaro guday.

The Levites made themselves pure, putting away their sin. And they washed their clothes. Aaron gave them as a wave gift before the Lord. He did what had to be done to pay for their sin so they would be clean.

22 O o markaas dabadeed ayaa reer Laawi gudaha u galeen inay teendhada shirka kaga adeegaan Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa hortooda, oo wixii reer Laawi ku saabsanaa ee uu Rabbigu Muuse ku amray ayay ku sameeyeen.

After that the Levites went in to do their work in the meeting tent in front of Aaron and his sons. So they did to the Levites just what the Lord had told Moses to do.

23 M arkaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

The Lord said to Moses,

24 T anu waa waxa reer Laawi intii shan iyo labaatan sannadood jirta ama ka sii weyn ay leeyihiin inay sameeyaan. Iyagu ha galeen oo ha ka adeegeen hawsha teendhada shirka.

“This is the rule for the Levites. Those who are twenty-five years old and older will go in to do the work of the meeting tent.

25 O o markii ay konton jir gaadhaan waa inay ka joogsadaan hawsha ka-adeegiddeeda oo aanay mar dambe adeegin,

But when they are fifty years old they will stop these duties and not work any more.

26 l aakiinse walaalahood teendhada shirka ha kala adeegeen si ay amarka u hayaan laakiinse yaanay hawl dambe qaban. Sidaas waa inaad ka yeeshaa amarrada ku saabsan reer Laawi hawshooda.

They may help their brothers in the meeting tent to do what needs to be done but they themselves must not do the work. These are the rules for the Levites when giving them their duties.”
