Idisu 18
1 Hina Gode da Elanema amane sia: i, “Dunu da Na Abula Diasu ganodini giadofale hawa: hamosea, di amola dia mano amola Lifai dunu da se dabe nabimu. Be dilia gobele salasu hawa: hamosu ganodini giadofale hamosea, di amola dia mano fawane da se dabe iasu ba: mu.
Yahweh said to Aaron, “You and your sons and the other members of your father’s family are the ones (who will be punished/whom I will punish) [if anything bad happens to the things] inside the Sacred Tent. But only you and your sons will be punished if the priests do something bad.
2 Dia fi dunu, Lifai dunu, amo di amola dia mano, Abula Diasu hawa: hamosu fidima: ne oule misa.
Require that those who belong to your tribe, the tribe of Levi, must assist you and your sons while you perform your work at the Sacred Tent.
3 Ilia da dia hawa: hamosu noga: le hamoma: ne sia: ma, amola Abula Diasu hawa: hamosu noga: le hamoma: ne sia: ma. Be Hadigi liligi Hadigi Malei Sesei ganodini diala amola Oloda, ilia da hame digili ba: mu. Ilia da amo liligi digili ba: sea, ili amola di, gilisili medole legei dagoi ba: mu.
But while they do that work, they must not go near the sacred items inside the tent or near the altar. If they do that, they will die, and you will die, too!
4 Ilia da di amola gilisili hawa: hamomu, amola Abula Diasu hawa: hamosu huluane amo noga: le hamoma: ne sia: ma. Be hame dawa: su dunu da di gilisili mae hamoma: ne sia: ma. Amo da hamedei.
They may assist you in doing all the work to take care of the Sacred Tent, but no one else is permitted to come near the place where you are working.
5 Di amola diagefelali fawane da Hadigi Malei Sesei amola Oloda amo hawa: hamosu hamomu. Bai Na ougi da Isala: ili dunuma bu heda: sa: besa: le, dilisu fawane hamoma.
“You are the ones who will do the sacred work inside the Sacred Tent and at the altar. If you obey these instructions, I will not become very angry with the Israeli people again.
6 Na da Isala: ili fi amo ganodini, dia fi Lifai dunu amo ilegele, dima hahawane iasu agoane, dima iaha. Ilia da Abula Diasu ganodini hawa: hamoma: ne, Nama momogili gagai dagoi.
I myself have chosen the descendants of Levi from the other Israelis in order that they may be your special helpers. They are like a gift that I have given you to work at the Sacred Tent.
7 Be Na da di amola dia mano, dilisu da Oloda amola Hadigidafa Momei Sesei amoga gobele salasu hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi. Amo hawa: hamosu da dilia hawa: hamosu fawane. Bai gobele salasu hou Na da hahawane iasu fedege agoane dilima fawane i dagoi. Hame dawa: su amola hame ilegei dunu da hadigi liligi gadenene masea, amo dunu medole legema.”
But it is you and your sons, who are the priests, who must perform all the rituals concerning the altar and with what happens inside the Very Holy Place. I am giving to you this work of serving as priests. So anyone else who tries to do that work must be executed.”
8 Hina Gode da Elanema amane sia: i, “Dawa: ma! Na da ha: i manu liligi Nama i amo da gobele salimusa: hame gobele sali, amo huluane Na da dima iaha. Amo da di amola digaga fi mae fisili, eso huluane lamu.
Yahweh also said to Aaron, “I myself have appointed you to take care of all the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me. I have given all these sacred offerings to you and to your sons. You and your descendants will get a share of these offerings permanently.
9 Hadigidafa iasu amo da oloda da: iya hame gobele sali, amo liligi haguduga dedei da dia: :- Gala: ine Iasu; Wadela: i Hou Gogolema: ne Olofoma: ne Iasu; Dabe Imunu Iasu. Liligi huluane Nama hadigi iasu hamoma: ne i, da di amola dia gofelali, dilia:
The parts of the offerings that are not completely burned on the altar belong to you. Those parts of the sacred offerings, including the offerings of grain, the offerings for sins and for the people to be forgiven for not giving me what they are required to give, are set apart, and are to be given to you and your sons.
10 Dilia amo liligi hadigi sogebi ganodini moma. Amo dunuga fawane manu. Amo liligi da hadigi gala dawa: ma.
You must eat those offerings in a sacred place, [near the Sacred Tent]. You and all of the other males [in your clan] may eat them, but you must consider those offerings to be holy/dedicated to me.
11 Amola eno hahawane iasu liligi amo Isala: ili dunu da Nama iaha, amo di da lamu. Na da eso huluane, mae fisili di amola dia gofelali amola didiwilali ilima iaha. Dia sosogo fi huluane ledo dodofei dagoiba: le fawane amo manu da defea.
“The priests lift up high the sacred offerings while they are standing in front of the altar. All of those offerings that the Israelis offer to me belong to you and your sons and daughters. They will always be your share. All the members of your family who [have performed the rituals to cause them to] be acceptable to me are permitted to eat from these offerings.
12 Na da baligili noga: i degabo fai ha: i manu amo Isala: ili dunu da Nama ode huluane amoga iaha, amo Na da dilima iaha. Amo da olife susuligi, waini hano amola gagoma.
“am [also] giving to you the first food that people harvest each year and bring to me—the best [olive] oil and new wine and grain.
13 Amo huluane da dia liligi ba: mu. Dia sosogo fi huluane ledo hamedei, da amo manu defea.
All of the first crops that people harvest and bring to me belong to you. Anyone in your family who has [performed the ritual to] become acceptable to me is permitted to eat that food.
14 Liligi huluane Isala: ili soge ganodini amo ilia da Nama udigili momodale ligiagale ilegei, amo da dia:
“Everything in Israel that is set apart to belong to me also belongs to you.
15 Magobo dunu mano o magobo ohe mano amo Isala: ili dunu da Nama iaha, amo da dia: Be dunu ilia da mano magobo bu bidi lamusa: dawa: sea, amo di bidiga lama: ne ilegema. Amola magobo ohe amo da sema ganodini ledo hamoi, amo amolawane bidiga lama: ne ilegema.
The firstborn males, both humans and domestic animals, that are offered to me, will be yours. But people must buy back their firstborn sons and the firstborn animals that may not be used for sacrifices.
16 Mano lalelegele, oubi afae doaga: sea, Isala: ili ilia malasu defele, silifa fage biyale gala amoga bu bidiga lama: ne ilegema: ma!
They must buy them back when they are one month old. The price that they must pay [for each one] is five pieces of silver. They must weigh the silver on the scales that are in the Sacred Tent.
17 Be magobo bulamagau, sibi amola goudi amo dunu ilia da bu bidi lamu da hamedei. Ilia da dafawane Na: liligi fawane amola amo dilia gobele salima. Ilia maga: me amo oloda la: idi amoga galagama amola ilia sefe amo gobesima. Na da amo gobei gabusiga: hahawane nabimu.
“But they are not permitted to buy back the firstborn cattle or sheep or goats. They are holy and have been set apart for me. [Slaughter them and] sprinkle their blood on the altar. Then completely burn the fat of those animals [on the altar] to be an offering to me. The smell as they burn will be very pleasing to me.
18 Ilia hu da dia: Amola sogogea amola baligili noga: i iasu ea lobodafadi emo amola da dia:
The meat from those offerings will be yours, just like the breast and right thigh of animals that are presented to me to maintain fellowship with me as the priest lifts them up high in front of the altar are yours.
19 Na da di, dia gofelali amola didiwilali ilima baligili noga: i iasu Isala: ili dunu da Nama iaha, amo imunu. Amo da gousa: su (fimu da hamedei) Na da di amola digaga fi ilima hamoi dagoi.”
Anything that the Israeli people present to me as holy/sacred gifts, I am giving to you. They are for you and your sons and daughters [to eat]. They will always be your share. This is an agreement that I am making with you, an agreement that will (last forever/never be changed). I am also making this agreement with your descendants.”
20 Hina Gode da Elanema amane sia: i, “Di da soge o diasu amo digaga fi ilima imunusa: hame lamu. Amola, soge afae Isala: ili soge ganodini da dima ilegei hame ba: mu. Bai Na, Hina Gode, da dia esaloma: ne liligi huluane defele esala.”
Yahweh also said to Aaron, “You priests will not receive any of the land or the property like the [other] Israeli people will receive. I am what you will receive.
21 Hina Gode da amane sia: i “Na da Lifai fi dunu ilima ‘daide’ (lai liligi huluane nabuane mogili, afae) amo huluane Isala: ili dunu da Nama iaha, amo Lifai dunu ilima i dagoi. Ilia da Na Abula Diasu ouligima: ne hawa: hamobeba: le, Na da amo bidi ilima iaha.
“Then the Israeli people bring to me a tenth of all [the crops and of their newborn animals], I will give that to you descendants of Levi. That will be your payment for the work you do at the Sacred Tent.
22 Isala: ili dunu eno da Na Abula Diasu gadenene hamedafa misunu. Bai ilia da bogosu se dabe iasu lasa: besa: le.
The other Israelis must not go near that tent. If they go near it, [I will consider that their doing that is a sin, and] they will die for committing that sin.
23 Waha winini, Lifai dunu ilia fawane da Na Abula Diasu ouligimu. Amola, noga: le hame ouligisia, Na da ilima fawane sia: mu. Amo da eso huluane dialumu sema amola amo sema da digaga fi ilima dialumu. Lifai dunu da soge o diasu Isala: ili soge ganodini hame gagui dialumu.
Only the descendants of Levi are permitted to work at the Sacred Tent, and they will be punished if anything bad happens to it. That is a law that will never be changed. You descendants of Levi will not receive any land among the other Israeli people,
24 Bai Na da ilima ‘daide’ amo Isala: ili dunu da Nama iaha, amo ilima i dagoi. Amaiba: le Na da ili da Isala: ili soge ganodini liligi hame gagui dialumu, ilima sia: i dagoi.
because I will give you one tenth of all the [crops and animals] that the Israelis bring to be offerings to me. That is why I said that you will not receive any land like the other Israelis will receive.”
25 Hina Gode da Mousesema amane hamoma: ne sia: i,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
26 “Lifai dunu ilima amane sia: ma, ‘Dilia da Isala: ili dunu ilima ‘daide’ amo Hina Gode da dili lama: ne sia: i, amo lasea, dilia amoga ‘daide’ amo bu Hina Godema ima.
“Tell this to the descendants of Levi: ‘When you receive one tenth of all [the crops and animals] from the Israeli people, you must give one tenth of all that to me to be a sacred offering.
27 Na da dilia iasu amo ifabi ouligisu dunu ea iasu (gagoma gaheabolo amola waini hano gaheabolo) amo defele ba: mu.
Just like the other Israelis give one tenth of the grain and wine that they produce,
28 Amo iasu (Isala: ili dunu ilia ‘daide’ dilima i) da Hina Gode Ea: Amola amoga dilia ‘daide’ lale, gobele salasu dunu Elanema ima: ma.
you must give to me one tenth of all that you receive from them. That will be your sacred offering to me. You must present it to Aaron.
29 Amo liligi noga: idafa fawane, amoga amo ‘daide’ lama.
Select the best parts of the things that are given to you to give them to me.’
30 Ifabi ouligisu dunu da ‘daide’ ia dagosea, eno la: idi hi gagusa. Amo defele dilia ‘daide’ noga: idafa la: idi amo Hina Godema (amola Elanema) ia dagosea, eno la: idi dilisu lama.
“Also, tell this to the descendants of Levi: ‘When you present those best portions of grain and wine as your offering to me, I will consider that those gifts are as though they came from your own grain fields and vineyards.
31 Dilia amola dilia sosogo fi da nasu sogebi mae dawa: le, udigili manu da defea. Bai amo da dilia hawa: hamosu Abula Diasu ganodini, amo ea bidi lasu gala.
You descendants of Levi and your families are permitted to eat [the rest of] that food, and you may eat it wherever [you want to], because it is your payment for the work that you do at the Sacred Tent.
32 Dilia da amo huluane nasea, wadela: i hame hou hamosa. Be hidadea baligili noga: idafa ‘daide’ Hina Godema ima. Be Isala: ili dunu ilia hadigi sema iasu noga: le dawa: ma. Dilia da Hina Godema Ea baligili noga: idafa ‘daide’ hidadea mae iawane, amo liligi manu da sema bagade. Agoane hamosea, dilia da medole legei dagoi ba: mu.”
If you give to the priests the best portions of what you receive, you will not be punished [by me] for accepting one tenth of the gifts that the people bring to me. But you must consider those gifts to be sacred/holy. If you sin [by eating those things in ways that are contrary to these regulations that I have given to you], you will be executed.’”
