Numbers 8

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	1 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
2 “Speak to Aaron, and you shall say to him: When you place the seven lamps, let the lampstand be set up on the south side. Therefore, give this instruction: that the lamps should look out from the region opposite the north, toward the table of the bread of the presence; they shall give light opposite that area, toward the area that the lampstand faces.”	2 λαλησον τω ααρων και ερεις προς αυτον οταν επιτιθης τους λυχνους εκ μερους κατα προσωπον της λυχνιας φωτιουσιν οι επτα λυχνοι
3 And Aaron did so, and he placed the lamps on the lampstand, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.	3 και εποιησεν ουτως ααρων εκ του ενος μερους κατα προσωπον της λυχνιας εξηψεν τους λυχνους αυτης καθα συνεταξεν κυριος τω μωυση
4 Now this was the workmanship of the lampstand: it was of ductile gold, both the main shaft and all that originated from both sides of the branches. According to the example that the Lord revealed to Moses, so did he make the lampstand.	4 και αυτη η κατασκευη της λυχνιας στερεα χρυση ο καυλος αυτης και τα κρινα αυτης στερεα ολη κατα το ειδος ο εδειξεν κυριος τω μωυση ουτως εποιησεν την λυχνιαν
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	5 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
6 “Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and you shall purify them	6 λαβε τους λευιτας εκ μεσου υιων ισραηλ και αφαγνιεις αυτους
7 according to this ritual: Let them be sprinkled with the water of illumination, and let them shave off all the hairs of their body. And when they have washed their garments and have been cleansed,	7 και ουτως ποιησεις αυτοις τον αγνισμον αυτων περιρρανεις αυτους υδωρ αγνισμου και επελευσεται ξυρον επι παν το σωμα αυτων και πλυνουσιν τα ιματια αυτων και καθαροι εσονται
8 they shall take an ox from the herd, with its libation of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil; then you shall receive another ox from the herd for sin.	8 και λημψονται μοσχον ενα εκ βοων και τουτου θυσιαν σεμιδαλεως αναπεποιημενην εν ελαιω και μοσχον ενιαυσιον εκ βοων λημψη περι αμαρτιας
9 And you shall bring forward the Levites before the tabernacle of the covenant, calling together all the multitude of the sons of Israel.	9 και προσαξεις τους λευιτας εναντι της σκηνης του μαρτυριου και συναξεις πασαν συναγωγην υιων ισραηλ
10 And when the Levites are before the Lord, the sons of Israel shall place their hands upon them.	10 και προσαξεις τους λευιτας εναντι κυριου και επιθησουσιν οι υιοι ισραηλ τας χειρας αυτων επι τους λευιτας
11 And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a gift in the sight of the Lord, from the sons of Israel, so that they may serve in his ministry.	11 και αφοριει ααρων τους λευιτας αποδομα εναντι κυριου παρα των υιων ισραηλ και εσονται ωστε εργαζεσθαι τα εργα κυριου
12 Likewise, the Levites shall place their hands upon the heads of the oxen; you shall make use of one of these for sin, and the other as a holocaust to the Lord, so that you may intercede for them.	12 οι δε λευιται επιθησουσιν τας χειρας επι τας κεφαλας των μοσχων και ποιησει τον ενα περι αμαρτιας και τον ενα εις ολοκαυτωμα κυριω εξιλασασθαι περι αυτων
13 And you shall set the Levites in the sight of Aaron and his sons, and you shall consecrate those being offered to the Lord,	13 και στησεις τους λευιτας εναντι κυριου και εναντι ααρων και εναντι των υιων αυτου και αποδωσεις αυτους αποδομα εναντι κυριου
14 and you shall separate them from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that they may be for me.	14 και διαστελεις τους λευιτας εκ μεσου υιων ισραηλ και εσονται εμοι
15 And after this, they shall enter the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to serve me. And so shall you purify and consecrate them as an oblation to the Lord. For they were given to me as a gift from the sons of Israel.	15 και μετα ταυτα εισελευσονται οι λευιται εργαζεσθαι τα εργα της σκηνης του μαρτυριου και καθαριεις αυτους και αποδωσεις αυτους εναντι κυριου
16 I have accepted them in place of the firstborn which open every womb in Israel.	16 οτι αποδομα αποδεδομενοι ουτοι μοι εισιν εκ μεσου υιων ισραηλ αντι των διανοιγοντων πασαν μητραν πρωτοτοκων παντων εκ των υιων ισραηλ ειληφα αυτους εμοι
17 For all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, as much from men as from beasts, are mine. From the day when I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified them to myself.	17 οτι εμοι παν πρωτοτοκον εν υιοις ισραηλ απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους η ημερα επαταξα παν πρωτοτοκον εν γη αιγυπτω ηγιασα αυτους εμοι
18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel.	18 και ελαβον τους λευιτας αντι παντος πρωτοτοκου εν υιοις ισραηλ
19 And I have delivered them as a gift to Aaron and his sons, from the midst of the people, in order to serve me, for Israel, in the tabernacle of the covenant, and in order to pray for them, lest there be a scourge among the people, if they were to dare to approach to my Sanctuary.”	19 και απεδωκα τους λευιτας αποδομα δεδομενους ααρων και τοις υιοις αυτου εκ μεσου υιων ισραηλ εργαζεσθαι τα εργα των υιων ισραηλ εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου και εξιλασκεσθαι περι των υιων ισραηλ και ουκ εσται εν τοις υιοις ισραηλ προσεγγιζων προς τα αγια
20 And Moses and Aaron, and all the multitude of the sons of Israel, accomplished all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites.	20 και εποιησεν μωυσης και ααρων και πασα συναγωγη υιων ισραηλ τοις λευιταις καθα ενετειλατο κυριος τω μωυση περι των λευιτων ουτως εποιησαν αυτοις οι υιοι ισραηλ
21 And they were purified, and they washed their garments. And Aaron lifted them up in the sight of the Lord, and he prayed for them,	21 και ηγνισαντο οι λευιται και επλυναντο τα ιματια και απεδωκεν αυτους ααρων αποδομα εναντι κυριου και εξιλασατο περι αυτων ααρων αφαγνισασθαι αυτους
22 so that, having been purified, they might enter to their duties in the tabernacle of the covenant before Aaron and his sons. Just as the Lord had instructed Moses about the Levites, so was it done.	22 και μετα ταυτα εισηλθον οι λευιται λειτουργειν την λειτουργιαν αυτων εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου εναντι ααρων και εναντι των υιων αυτου καθως συνεταξεν κυριος τω μωυση περι των λευιτων ουτως εποιησαν αυτοις
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	23 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
24 “This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years and above, they shall enter to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.	24 τουτο εστιν το περι των λευιτων απο πεντεκαιεικοσαετους και επανω εισελευσονται ενεργειν εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου
25 And when they will have completed the fiftieth year of age, they shall cease to serve.	25 και απο πεντηκονταετους αποστησεται απο της λειτουργιας και ουκ εργαται ετι
26 And they shall be the ministers of their brothers in the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to care for the things that have been commended to them, but not to perform the works themselves. So shall you assign the Levites in their duties.”	26 και λειτουργησει ο αδελφος αυτου εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου φυλασσειν φυλακας εργα δε ουκ εργαται ουτως ποιησεις τοις λευιταις εν ταις φυλακαις αυτων
