Yahweh said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your fathers’ house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

“You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary and the duty of the altar, that there be no more wrath on the children of Israel.

6 Kai loh na manuca Levi te Israel ca khui lamloh ka loh coeng ne. Tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham nangmih te kutdoe la BOEIPA taengah m'paek coeng.

Behold, I myself have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel. They are a gift to you, dedicated to Yahweh, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.

7 Tedae namah neh na taengkah na ca rhoek tah hmueihtuk kah olka boeih neh hniyan khui lamkah te nangmih kah khosoihbi la ngaithuen uh. Nangmih ham kutdoe la khosoihbi kam paek kah thohtatnah dongah thotat uh. Tedae kholong aka mop te tah duek saeh,” a ti nah.

You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil. You shall serve. I give you the service of the priesthood as a gift. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”

8 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Aaron taengah, “Kai loh ka khosaa hut he nang taengah kam paek coeng ne, Israel ca rhoek kah hnocim boeih khui lamloh nang taengah koelhnah la, na ca taengah kumhal kah maehvae la kam paek.

Yahweh spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I myself have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel. I have given them to you by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.

9 Amih kah nawnnah boeih dongah hmai khui lamkah a cim, cim khaw nang ham om bitni. Amih kah khocang cungkuem lamkah neh a boirhaem cungkuem lamkah khaw, a hmaithennah cungkuem lakmah khaw, kai taengla a cim a cim ham mael uh te nang ham neh na ca rhoek ham ni.

This shall be yours of the most holy things from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.

10 Te te a cim, cim la ca. Tongpa boeih loh te te ca saeh lamtah nang taengah a cim la om saeh.

You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.

“This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

12 BOEIPA taengah situi tha boeih neh misur thai hangcil boeih, a thaihcuek cangpai a paek uh te nang taengah kam paek.

“I have given to you all the best of the oil, all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to Yahweh.

13 BOEIPA taengla a khuen a khohmuen kah thaihcuek boeih te nang ham om bitni. Na imkhui kah aka cim boeih loh te te ca saeh.

The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Yahweh, shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal, shall be yours. Nevertheless, you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.

16 A lat koi te hla khat a kuep ca vaengah namah loh a phu vanbangla cak shekel panga neh lat. Hmuencim kah shekel ah tah te te gerah kul lo.

You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which weighs twenty gerahs.

“But you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

18 A saa te nang ham thueng hmueih kah a rhang banghui la om tih bantang laeng khaw nang ham ni.

Their meat shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.

19 BOEIPA taengah Israel ca rhoek kah a paek, a cim khosaa boeih te nang ham neh na capa rhoek ham khaw namah taengkah na canu rhoek ham khaw kumhal kah maehvae la kam paek coeng. Te te nang ham neh namah taengkah na tiingan ham khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kumhal lungkaeh paipi la om,” a ti nah.

All the wave offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel offer to Yahweh, I have given you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to your offspring with you.”

20 BOEIPA loh Aaron taengah, “Amih kah khohmuen neh m'phaeng pawt vetih nang ham khoyo amih lakli ah om mahpawh. Kai tah Israel ca khui ah nang kah khoyo neh nang kah rho la ka om.

Yahweh said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 Israel kah parha pakhat boeih he Levi koca rhoek ham ka paek coeng ne. Tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah aka thotat amih ham a thothuengnah kah a yueng a tlang rho la ka paek.

“To the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the Tent of Meeting.

22 Tholhnah aka phuei ham rhung neh aka duek ham rhung tah, Israel ca rhoek loh tingtunnah dap la koep mop uh boel saeh.

Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.

23 Tedae tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah he Levi amah mah thothueng saeh lamtah na cadilcahma kah kumhal khosing la te rhoek loh amamih kathaesainah te phuei uh saeh. Israel ca lakli ah rho phaeng uh boel saeh.

But the Levites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. Among the children of Israel, they shall have no inheritance.

24 Israel ca rhoek kah parha pakhat, BOEIPA taengah khosaa la a pom te Levi taengah rho la ka paek. Te dongah ni amih te Israel ca lakli ah rho a phaeng pawt ham ka thui,” a ti nah.

For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to Yahweh, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said to them, ‘Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.’”

25 BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

26 “Levi te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Israel ca taeng lamkah parha pakhat te doe pah, te te amih taeng lamloh nangmih taengah namamih kah rho la kam paek. Te dongah parha pakhat khui lamkah parha pakhat te BOEIPA kah khosaa la tloeng uh.

“Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, ‘When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for Yahweh, a tithe of the tithe.

27 Nangmih kah khosaa te nangmih ham canghlom khui lamkah cangpai bangla, va-am lamkah thaihhmin bangla nawt saeh.

Your wave offering shall be credited to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the wine press.

28 Nangmih khaw Israel ca rhoek taeng lamkah na dang na parha pakhat boeih lamkah te BOEIPA kah khosaa la tloeng uh. Te khui lamkah te BOEIPA kah khosaa la khosoih Aaron taengah pae uh.

Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Yahweh of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Yahweh’s wave offering to Aaron the priest.

29 Nangmih kah kutdoe cungkuem khui lamkah khaw, a rhokso kah a tha cungkuem lamkah khaw BOEIPA kah khosaa la boeih tloeng uh.

Out of all your gifts, you shall offer every wave offering to Yahweh, of all its best parts, even the holy part of it.’

30 Te dongah amih te thui pah. Te lamkah a a kuel tha la na tloeng uh khaw Levi ham tah cangtilhmuen kah cangthaih neh va-am kah a thaih la a nawt bitni.

“Therefore you shall tell them, ‘When you heave its best from it, then it shall be credited to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the wine press.

31 Te te na hmuen takuem neh na imkhui ah ca uh. Te te tingtunnah dap ah nangmih kah thothuengnah a yueng a tlang la nangmih kah thapang ni.

You may eat it anywhere, you and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.

32 Te khui lamkah a tha te na tloeng uh vaengah tholhnah la na phuei uh mahpawh. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah hmuencim te na poeih uh pawt daengah ni na duek uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.

You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best. You shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.’”
