2 “Tell Aaron, ‘When you place the seven lamps on the lampstand, make sure they shine towards the front.’”
2 Habla á Aarón, y dile: Cuando encendieres las lámparas, las siete lámparas alumbrarán frente á frente del candelero.
2 “Speak to Aaron, and tell him, ‘When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lamp stand.’”
3 So that's what Aaron did. He placed the lamps facing towards the front of the lampstand, as the Lord had ordered Moses.
3 Y Aarón lo hizo así; que encendió enfrente del candelero sus lámparas, como Jehová lo mandó á Moisés.
3 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front of the lamp stand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
4 The lampstand was made of hammered gold from its base to the flower decorations on the top, in accordance with the design that the Lord had shown Moses.
4 Y esta era la hechura del candelero: de oro labrado á martillo; desde su pie hasta sus flores era labrado á martillo: conforme al modelo que Jehová mostró á Moisés, así hizo el candelero.
4 This was the workmanship of the lamp stand, beaten work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work. He made the lamp stand according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses.
6 “Separate the Levites from the other Israelites and purify them.
6 Toma á los Levitas de entre los hijos de Israel, y expíalos.
6 “Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 This is how you will purify them. Sprinkle on them the water of purification. They are to shave off all the hair from their bodies and wash their clothes so they will be clean.
7 Y así les harás para expiarlos: rocía sobre ellos el agua de la expiación, y haz pasar la navaja sobre toda su carne, y lavarán sus vestidos, y serán expiados.
7 You shall do this to them to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor, let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
8 Have them bring a young bull with its grain offering of the best flour mixed with olive oil, and you are to bring a second young bull as a sin offering.
8 Luego tomarán un novillo, con su presente de flor de harina amasada con aceite; y tomarás otro novillo para expiación.
8 Then let them take a young bull and its meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall take for a sin offering.
9 Take the Levites and have them stand in front of the Tent of Meeting and have all the Israelites gather there.
9 Y harás llegar los Levitas delante del tabernáculo del testimonio, y juntarás toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel;
9 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting. You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
10 When you bring the Levites to the Lord the Israelites are to place their hands upon them.
10 Y cuando habrás hecho llegar los Levitas delante de Jehová, pondrán los hijos de Israel sus manos sobre los Levitas;
10 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
11 Aaron shall present the Levites to the Lord as a wave offering from the Israelites so that they can do the Lord's work.
11 Y ofrecerá Aarón los Levitas delante de Jehová en ofrenda de los hijos de Israel, y servirán en el ministerio de Jehová.
11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yahweh.
12 The Levites are to place their hands on the heads of the bulls. One is to be sacrificed as a sin offering to the Lord, and the other as a burnt offering to set the Levites right with the Lord.
12 Y los Levitas pondrán sus manos sobre las cabezas de los novillos: y ofrecerás el uno por expiación, y el otro en holocausto á Jehová, para expiar los Levitas.
12 “The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and you shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
13 Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and present them to the Lord as a wave offering.
13 Y harás presentar los Levitas delante de Aarón, y delante de sus hijos, y los ofrecerás en ofrenda á Jehová.
13 You shall set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons, and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
14 This is how you are to separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to me.
14 Así apartarás los Levitas de entre los hijos de Israel; y serán míos los Levitas.
14 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
15 They can come and serve at the Tent of Meeting once you've purified them and presented them as a wave offering.
15 Y después de eso vendrán los Levitas á ministrar en el tabernáculo del testimonio: los expiarás pues, y los ofrecerás en ofrenda.
15 “After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of the Tent of Meeting. You shall cleanse them, and offer them as a wave offering.
16 The Levites have been completely given over to me by the Israelites. I have accepted them as mine in place of all the firstborn sons of the Israelites.
16 Porque enteramente me son á mí dados los Levitas de entre los hijos de Israel, en lugar de todo aquel que abre matriz; helos tomado para mí en lugar de los primogénitos de todos los hijos de Israel.
16 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
17 Every firstborn male in Israel belongs to me, both human and animal. I reserved them for myself at the time when I killed all the firstborn in Egypt.
17 Porque mío es todo primogénito en los hijos de Israel, así de hombres como de animales; desde el día que yo herí todo primogénito en la tierra de Egipto, los santifiqué para mí.
17 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
18 I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons of the Israelites.
18 Y he tomado los Levitas en lugar de todos los primogénitos en los hijos de Israel.
18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
19 Of all the Israelites, the Levites are a gift from me to Aaron and his sons to serve the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting, and on their behalf to set them right, so that nothing bad will happen to them when they come to the sanctuary.”
19 Y yo he dado en don los Levitas á Aarón y á sus hijos de entre los hijos de Israel, para que sirvan el ministerio de los hijos de Israel en el tabernáculo del testimonio, y reconcilien á los hijos de Israel; porque no haya plaga en los hijos de Israel, llegando los hijos de Israel al santuario.
19 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 Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel, so that there will be no plague among the children of Israel when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.”
20 Moses, Aaron, and all the Israelites did everything that the Lord had ordered Moses that they should do regarding the Levites.
20 Y Moisés, y Aarón, y toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, hicieron de los Levitas conforme á todas las cosas que mandó Jehová á Moisés acerca de los Levitas; así hicieron de ellos los hijos de Israel.
20 Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did so to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes. Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering to the Lord. Aaron also presented the sacrifice to make them right with the Lord so they would be clean.
21 Y los Levitas se purificaron, y lavaron sus vestidos; y Aarón los ofreció en ofrenda delante de Jehová, é hizo Aarón expiación por ellos para purificarlos.
21 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering before Yahweh and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 Afterwards the Levites came to perform their service at the Tent of Meeting under the direction of Aaron and his sons. They followed all the instructions regarding the Levites that the Lord had given to Moses.
22 Y así vinieron después los Levitas para servir en su ministerio en el tabernáculo del testimonio, delante de Aarón y delante de sus hijos: de la manera que mandó Jehová á Moisés acerca de los Levitas, así hicieron con ellos.
22 After that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron and before his sons: as Yahweh had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
24 “This rule applies to the Levites. Those twenty-five or older shall serve at the Tent of Meeting.
24 Esto cuanto á los Levitas: de veinte y cinco años arriba entrarán á hacer su oficio en el servicio del tabernáculo del testimonio:
24 “This is what is assigned to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;
25 However, once they reach the age of fifty they need to retire from the work and won't serve any longer.
25 Mas desde los cincuenta años volverán del oficio de su ministerio, y nunca más servirán:
25 and from the age of fifty years they shall retire from doing the work, and shall serve no more,
26 They can still help their fellow Levites in their assignments, but they are not to do the actual work themselves. These are the arrangements in the case of the Levites.”
26 Pero servirán con sus hermanos en el tabernáculo del testimonio, para hacer la guarda, bien que no servirán en el ministerio. Así harás de los Levitas cuanto á sus oficios.
26 but shall assist their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to perform the duty, and shall perform no service. This is how you shall have the Levites do their duties.”
