民數記 8
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1耶和華曉諭 摩西 說：
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2「你告訴 亞倫 說：點燈的時候，七盞燈都要向燈臺前面發光。」
2Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
3亞倫 便這樣行。他點燈臺上的燈， 使燈 向前 發光 ，是照耶和華所吩咐 摩西 的。
3And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4這燈臺的做法是用金子錘出來的，連座帶花都是錘出來的。 摩西 製造燈臺，是照耶和華所指示的樣式。
4And 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.
5耶和華曉諭 摩西 說：
5¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
6「你從 以色列 人中選出 利未 人來，潔淨他們。
6Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7潔淨他們當這樣行：用除罪水彈在他們身上，又叫他們用剃頭刀刮全身，洗衣服，潔淨自己。
7And 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.
8然後叫他們取一隻公牛犢，並同獻的素祭，就是調油的細麵；你要另取一隻公牛犢作贖罪祭。
8Then 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.
9將 利未 人奉到會幕前，招聚 以色列 全會眾。
9And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
10將 利未 人奉到耶和華面前， 以色列 人要按手在他們 頭 上。
10And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD : and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
11亞倫 也將他們奉到耶和華面前，為 以色列 人當作搖祭，使他們好辦耶和華的事。
11And 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 .
12利未 人要按手在那兩隻牛的頭上；你要將一隻作贖罪祭，一隻作燔祭，獻給耶和華，為 利未 人贖罪。
12And 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.
13你也要使 利未 人站在 亞倫 和他兒子面前，將他們當作搖祭奉給耶和華。
13And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD .
14「這樣，你從 以色列 人中將 利未 人分別出來， 利未 人便要歸我。
14Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
15此後 利未 人要進去辦會幕的事，你要潔淨他們，將他們當作搖祭奉上；
15And 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.
16因為他們是從 以色列 人中全然給我的，我揀選他們歸我，是代替 以色列 人中一切頭生的。
16For 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.
17以色列 人中一切頭生的，連人帶牲畜，都是我的。我在 埃及 地擊殺一切頭生的那天，將他們分別為聖歸我。
17For 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.
18我揀選 利未 人代替 以色列 人中一切頭生的。
18And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
19我從 以色列 人中將 利未 人當作賞賜給 亞倫 和他的兒子，在會幕中辦 以色列 人的事，又為 以色列 人贖罪，免得他們挨近聖所，有災殃臨到他們中間。」
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 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.
20摩西 、 亞倫 ，並 以色列 全會眾便向 利未 人如此行。凡耶和華指着 利未 人所吩咐 摩西 的， 以色列 人就向他們這樣行。
20And 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.
21於是 利未 人潔淨自己，除了罪，洗了衣服； 亞倫 將他們當作搖祭奉到耶和華面前，又為他們贖罪，潔淨他們。
21And 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.
22然後 利未 人進去，在 亞倫 和他兒子面前，在會幕中辦事。耶和華指着 利未 人怎樣吩咐 摩西 ， 以色列 人就怎樣向他們行了。
22And 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.
23耶和華曉諭 摩西 說：
23¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24「 利未 人是這樣：從二十五歲以外，他們要前來任職，辦會幕的事。
24This 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:
25到了五十歲要停工退任，不再辦事，
25And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof , and shall serve no more:
26只要在會幕裏，和他們的弟兄一同伺候，謹守所吩咐的，不再辦事了。至於所吩咐 利未 人的，你要這樣向他們行。」
26But 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.
