< عَدَد 18 >
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِهَرُونَ: «أَنْتَ وَأَبْنَاؤُكَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيكَ مَسْؤولُونَ عَمَّا يُصِيبُ الْمَقْدِسَ مِنْ تَدْنِيسٍ، وَأَنْتَ وَأَبْنَاؤُكَ مَعَكَ تَحْمِلُونَ مَسْؤولِيَّةَ مَا يُرْتَكَبُ فِي حَقِّ الْكَهَنُوتِ. | ١ 1 |
So the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house must bear the iniquity involving the sanctuary. And you and your sons alone must bear the iniquity involving your priesthood.
وَاسْتَعِنْ بِإِخْوَتِكَ مِنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي، سِبْطِ أَبِيكَ، فَيَنْضَمُّوا إِلَيْكَ وَيُؤَازِرُوكَ أَنْتَ وَأَبْنَاءَكَ حِينَ تَقُومُونَ بِالْخِدْمَةِ أَمَامَ خَيْمَةِ الشَّهَادَةِ، | ٢ 2 |
But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and assist you and your sons before the Tent of the Testimony.
فَيَقُومُونَ عَلَى خِدْمَتِكَ، وَعَلَى خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمُ الاقْتِرَابَ مِنْ أَوَانِي الْمَقْدِسِ وَمِنَ الْمَذْبَحِ، لِئَلّا يَمُوتُوا جَمِيعاً وَأَنْتُمْ مَعَهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties of the Tent; but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die.
لِيَنْضَمُّوا إِلَيْكَ قَائِمِينَ بِخِدْمَةِ الْخَيْمَةِ وَكُلِّ مَا يُنَاطُ بِهِمْ مِنْ وَاجِبَاتٍ لِلْعِنَايَةِ بِها. وَلَكِنْ لَا يَقْتَرِبْ مِنْهَا مَنْ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ، | ٤ 4 |
They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.
فَأَنْتُمُ الْكَهَنَةُ الَّذِينَ تَقُومُونَ عَلَى خِدْمَةِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، لِئَلّا يَنْصَبَّ السَّخَطُ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ 5 |
And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.
فَقَدِ اخْتَرْتُ إِخْوَتَكُمُ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ لِيَكُونُوا لَكُمْ عَطِيَّةً مِنَ الرَّبِّ، لِيَعْتَنُوا بِخِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ٦ 6 |
Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ، وَأَبْنَاؤُكَ مَعَكَ فَقَطْ، فَتَقُومُونَ بِخِدْمَةِ الْكَهَنُوتِ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا لِلْمَذْبَحِ ومَا هُوَ وَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ، فَأَنَا قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ خِدْمَةَ الْكَهَنُوتِ هِبَةً. وَكُلُّ غَرِيبٍ يَقْتَرِبُ مِنَ الْمَقْدِسِ يُقْتَلُ». | ٧ 7 |
But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِهَرُونَ: «هَا أَنَا قَدْ وَلَّيْتُكَ الْقِيَامَ بِخِدْمَةِ قَرَابِينِي. وَكُلُّ التَّقْدِمَاتِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ الَّتِي يُحْضِرُهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِي، أَمْنَحُكَ إِيَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَبَنِيكَ لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ نَصِيباً فَرِيضَةً دَائِمَةً. | ٨ 8 |
Then the LORD said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.
فَيَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِكُمْ قَرَابِينُ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ، إِلا مَا تُحْرِقُونَهُ مِنْهَا عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ؛ فَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ مِنْ تَقْدِمَاتِ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ الَّتِي يُحْضِرُونَهَا لِي، سَوَاءٌ كَانَتْ تَقْدِمَاتِ دَقِيقٍ أَمْ ذَبَائِحَ خَطَايَاهُمْ أَمْ ذَبَائِحَ آثَامِهِمْ. هَذِهِ تَكُونُ نَصِيباً لَكَ وَلأَبْنَائِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
A portion of the most holy offerings reserved from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings they render to Me as most holy offerings, whether grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.
وَعَلَى كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهَا فِي مَكَانٍ مُقَدَّسٍ لأَنَّهَا أَصْبَحَتْ مُقَدَّسَةً | ١٠ 10 |
You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
وَأَمَّا مَا تُرَجِّحُهُ مِنْ عَطَايَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَإِنَّنِي أَهَبُهُ لَكَ وَلأَبْنَائِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ فَرِيضَةً دَائِمَةً، وَلا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ إِلّا مَنْ كَانَ طَاهِراً. | ١١ 11 |
And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it.
وَأُعْطِيكَ أَيْضاً بَاكُورَةَ غَلّاتِ أَفْضَلِ زَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ وَالْخَمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ الَّتِي يُقَدِّمُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ، | ١٢ 12 |
I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.
فَتَكُونُ لَكَ أَبْكَارُ غَلّاتِ أَرْضِهِمِ الَّتِي يُقَدِّمُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ، فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا كُلُّ طَاهِرٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.
كُلُّ مَا هُوَ مَنْذُورٌ لِلرَّبِّ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَكُونُ لَكَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ بِكْرٍ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ يُقَدِّمُونَهُ لِلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ لَكَ، مَاعَدَا بِكْرَ الإِنْسَانِ وَبِكْرَ الْبَهِيمَةِ النَّجِسَةِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْبَلُ فِدَاءَهُمَا. | ١٥ 15 |
The firstborn of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely redeem every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.
وَفِدَاءُ النَّاسِ مِنِ ابْنِ شَهْرٍ، حَسَبَ تَقْوِيمِكَ، خَمْسَةُ شَوَاقِلَ (نَحْوَ سِتِّينَ جِرَاماً) مِنَ الفِضَّةِ وَفْقاً لِلْوَزْنِ الْمُعْتَمَدِ فِي الْقُدْسِ، | ١٦ 16 |
You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your valuation: five shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs.
لَكِنْ لَا تَقْبَلْ فِدَاءَ بِكْرِ الْبَقَرِ أَوِ الضَّأْنِ أَوِ الْمَعْزِ. إِنَّهُ مُفْرَزٌ لِلرَّبِّ. بَلْ تَرُشُّ دَمَهُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَتُحْرِقُ شَحْمَهُ وَقُوداً رَائِحَةَ رِضًى وَمَسَرَّةٍ لِلرَّبِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
أَمَّا لَحْمُهُ فَيَكُونُ لَكَ نَصِيباً كَصَدْرِ التَّرْجِيحِ وَالسَّاقِ الْيُمْنَى. | ١٨ 18 |
And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
وَهَكَذَا أُعْطِيكَ أَنْتَ وَأَبْنَاءَكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ، حَقّاً أَبَدِيًّا، جَمِيعَ تَقْدِمَاتِ الأَقْدَاسِ الَّتِي يُقَرِّبُهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلرَّبِّ، فَيَكُونُ هَذَا مِيثَاقَ مِلْحٍ أَبَدِيًّا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لَكَ وَلِنَسْلِكَ أَيْضاً». | ١٩ 19 |
All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِهَرُونَ: «لا يَكُونُ لَكَ مِيرَاثٌ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ وَلا نَصِيبٌ بَيْنَهُمْ، لأَنَّنِي أَنَا نَصِيبُكَ وَمِيرَاثُكَ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.
أَمَّا اللّاوِيُّونَ فَقَدْ وَهَبْتُهُمْ كُلَّ عُشْرٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِقَاءَ عَمَلِهِمِ الَّذِي يَقُومُونَ بِهِ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجِتِمَاعِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting.
وَعَلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ، مُنْذُ الآنَ، أَنْ لَا يَقْتَرِبُوا إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَإلَّا تَحَمَّلُوا نَتَائِجَ خَطِيئَتِهِمْ فَيَمُوتُونَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
فَاللّاوِيُّونَ وَحْدَهُمْ يَقُومُونَ بِخِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ مَسْؤولِيَّةَ خَطَئِهِمْ، فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةً دَائِمَةً جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ. وَلا يَكُونُ لِلّاوِيِّينَ نَصِيبٌ مِنَ الأَمْلاكِ فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The Levites are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.
إِنَّ الْعُشُورَ الَّتِي يُقَدِّمُهَا الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لِلرَّبِّ قَدْ وَهَبْتُهَا لِلّاوِيِّينَ نَصِيباً، لِهَذَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ، لَا يَرِثُونَ نَصِيباً فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢٤ 24 |
For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ٢٥ 25 |
And the LORD instructed Moses,
«أَوْصِ اللّاوِيِّينَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: مَتَى أَخَذْتُمْ مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الْعُشْرَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتُهُ نَصِيباً لَكُمْ، تُقَدِّمُونَ مِنْهُ عُشْرَهُ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
“Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe.
فَيُحْسَبُ تَقْدِمَتَكُمْ مِثْلَ الْحِنْطَةِ مِنَ الْبَيْدَرِ أَوْ تَقْدِمَةِ عَصِيرِ الْكَرْمَةِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
وَهَكَذَا تُقَدِّمُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً تَقْدِمَةً لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عُشُورِكُمُ الَّتِي تَأْخُذُونَهَا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمَا تُقَرِّبُونَهُ لِلرَّبِّ، تُعْطُونَهُ لِهَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So you are to present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, and from these you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.
وَعَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُحْضِرُوا لِلرَّبِّ أَفْضَلَ جُزْءٍ وَأَقْدَسَهُ مِمَّا أُعْطِيَ لَكُمْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: حِينَ تُقَدِّمُونَ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ عَطَايَاكُمْ فَإِنَّهَا تُحْسَبُ لَكُمْ مِثْلَ مَحْصُولِ الْبَيْدَرِ وَنِتَاجِ الْمَعْصَرَةِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Therefore say to the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the produce of the threshing floor or winepress.
وَتَأْكُلُونَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ أَنْتُمْ وَأَهْلُ بُيُوتِكُمْ، لأَنَّهُ أُجْرَةٌ لَكُمْ لِقَاءَ خِدْمَتِكُمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ٣١ 31 |
And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
وَلَدَى تَقْدِيمِ خَيْرِ جُزْءٍ مِنْهَا لَا تَتَحَمَّلُونَ وِزْراً بِسَبَبِهَا. أَمَّا أَقْدَاسُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلا تُدَنِّسُوهَا لِئَلّا تَمُوتُوا». | ٣٢ 32 |
Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”
