Numbers 8
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
1耶和华晓谕 摩西 说：
2'Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him: When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.'
2「你告诉 亚伦 说：点灯的时候，七盏灯都要向灯台前面发光。」
3And Aaron did so: he lighted the lamps thereof so as to give light in front of the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
3亚伦 便这样行。他点灯台上的灯， 使灯 向前 发光 ，是照耶和华所吩咐 摩西 的。
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 the LORD had shown Moses, so he made the candlestick.
4这灯台的做法是用金子锤出来的，连座带花都是锤出来的。 摩西 制造灯台，是照耶和华所指示的样式。
5And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
5耶和华晓谕 摩西 说：
6'Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
6「你从 以色列 人中选出 利未 人来，洁净他们。
7And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of purification upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
7洁净他们当这样行：用除罪水弹在他们身上，又叫他们用剃头刀刮全身，洗衣服，洁净自己。
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.
8然后叫他们取一只公牛犊，并同献的素祭，就是调油的细面；你要另取一只公牛犊作赎罪祭。
9And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
9将 利未 人奉到会幕前，招聚 以色列 全会众。
10And thou shalt present the Levites before the LORD; and the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.
10将 利未 人奉到耶和华面前， 以色列 人要按手在他们 头 上。
11And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for a wave-offering from the children of Israel, that they may be to do the service of the LORD.
11亚伦 也将他们奉到耶和华面前，为 以色列 人当作摇祭，使他们好办耶和华的事。
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 the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites.
12利未 人要按手在那两只牛的头上；你要将一只作赎罪祭，一只作燔祭，献给耶和华，为 利未 人赎罪。
13And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto the LORD.
13你也要使 利未 人站在 亚伦 和他儿子面前，将他们当作摇祭奉给耶和华。
14Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine.
14「这样，你从 以色列 人中将 利未 人分别出来， 利未 人便要归我。
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.
15此后 利未 人要进去办会幕的事，你要洁净他们，将他们当作摇祭奉上；
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.
16因为他们是从 以色列 人中全然给我的，我拣选他们归我，是代替 以色列 人中一切头生的。
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.
17以色列 人中一切头生的，连人带牲畜，都是我的。我在 埃及 地击杀一切头生的那天，将他们分别为圣归我。
18And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel.
18我拣选 利未 人代替 以色列 人中一切头生的。
19And I have given the Levites — they are given 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, through the children of Israel coming nigh unto the sanctuary.'
19我从 以色列 人中将 利未 人当作赏赐给 亚伦 和他的儿子，在会幕中办 以色列 人的事，又为 以色列 人赎罪，免得他们挨近圣所，有灾殃临到他们中间。」
20Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the Levites; according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
20摩西 、 亚伦 ，并 以色列 全会众便向 利未 人如此行。凡耶和华指着 利未 人所吩咐 摩西 的， 以色列 人就向他们这样行。
21And the Levites purified themselves, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a sacred gift before the LORD; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
21于是 利未 人洁净自己，除了罪，洗了衣服； 亚伦 将他们当作摇祭奉到耶和华面前，又为他们赎罪，洁净他们。
22And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons; as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
22然后 利未 人进去，在 亚伦 和他儿子面前，在会幕中办事。耶和华指着 利未 人怎样吩咐 摩西 ， 以色列 人就怎样向他们行了。
23And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
23耶和华晓谕 摩西 说：
24'This is that which pertaineth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to perform the service in the work of the tent of meeting;
24「 利未 人是这样：从二十五岁以外，他们要前来任职，办会幕的事。
25and from the age of fifty years they shall return from the service of the work, and shall serve no more;
25到了五十岁要停工退任，不再办事，
26but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, but they shall do no manner of service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.'
26只要在会幕里，和他们的弟兄一同伺候，谨守所吩咐的，不再办事了。至于所吩咐 利未 人的，你要这样向他们行。」
