民數記 18
1 耶和華對亞倫說：「你和你的兒子，並你本族的人，要一同擔當干犯聖所的罪孽。你和你的兒子也要一同擔當干犯祭司職任的罪孽。
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.
2 你要帶你弟兄利未人，就是你祖宗支派的人前來，使他們與你聯合，服事你，只是你和你的兒子，要一同在法櫃的帳幕前供職。
Bring your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you; but you and your sons with you shall be before the Tent of the Testimony.
3 他們要守所吩咐你的，並守全帳幕，只是不可挨近聖所的器具和壇，免得他們和你們都死亡。
They shall keep your commands and the duty of the whole Tent; only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they nor you.
4 他們要與你聯合，也要看守會幕，辦理帳幕一切的事，只是外人不可挨近你們。
They shall be joined to you and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent. A stranger shall not come near to you.
5 你們要看守聖所和壇，免得忿怒再臨到以色列人。
“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 我已將你們的弟兄利未人從以色列人中揀選出來歸耶和華，是給你們為賞賜的，為要辦理會幕的事。
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 你和你的兒子要為一切屬壇和幔子內的事一同守祭司的職任。你們要這樣供職；我將祭司的職任給你們當作賞賜事奉我。凡挨近的外人必被治死。」
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 耶和華曉諭亞倫說：「我已將歸我的舉祭，就是以色列人一切分別為聖的物，交給你經管；因你受過膏，把這些都賜給你和你的子孫，當作永得的分。
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 以色列人歸給我至聖的供物，就是一切的素祭、贖罪祭、贖愆祭，其中所有存留不經火的，都為至聖之物，要歸給你和你的子孫。
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 你要拿這些當至聖物吃；凡男丁都可以吃。你當以此物為聖。
You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
11 以色列人所獻的舉祭並搖祭都是你的；我已賜給你和你的兒女，當作永得的分；凡在你家中的潔淨人都可以吃。
“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 凡油中、新酒中、五穀中至好的，就是以色列人所獻給耶和華初熟之物，我都賜給你。
“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 凡從他們地上所帶來給耶和華初熟之物也都要歸與你。你家中的潔淨人都可以吃。
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.
14 以色列中一切永獻的都必歸與你。
“Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
15 他們所有奉給耶和華的，連人帶牲畜，凡頭生的，都要歸給你；只是人頭生的，總要贖出來；不潔淨牲畜頭生的，也要贖出來。
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 其中在一月之外所當贖的，要照你所估定的價，按聖所的平，用銀子五舍客勒贖出來（一舍客勒是二十季拉）。
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.
17 只是頭生的牛，或是頭生的綿羊和山羊，必不可贖，都是聖的，要把牠的血灑在壇上，把牠的脂油焚燒，當作馨香的火祭獻給耶和華。
“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 牠的肉必歸你，像被搖的胸、被舉的右腿歸你一樣。
Their meat shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
19 凡以色列人所獻給耶和華聖物中的舉祭，我都賜給你和你的兒女，當作永得的分。這是給你和你的後裔、在耶和華面前作為永遠的鹽約。」
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 耶和華對亞倫說：「你在以色列人的境內不可有產業，在他們中間也不可有分。我就是你的分，是你的產業。」
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 「凡以色列中出產的十分之一，我已賜給利未的子孫為業；因他們所辦的是會幕的事，所以賜給他們為酬他們的勞。
“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 從今以後，以色列人不可挨近會幕，免得他們擔罪而死。
Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
23 惟獨利未人要辦會幕的事，擔當罪孽；這要作你們世世代代永遠的定例。他們在以色列人中不可有產業；
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 因為以色列人中出產的十分之一，就是獻給耶和華為舉祭的，我已賜給利未人為業。所以我對他們說：『在以色列人中不可有產業。』」
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 耶和華吩咐摩西說：
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
26 「你曉諭利未人說：你們從以色列人中所取的十分之一，就是我給你們為業的，要再從那十分之一中取十分之一作為舉祭獻給耶和華，
“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 這舉祭要算為你們場上的穀，又如滿酒醡的酒。
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 這樣，你們從以色列人中所得的十分之一也要作舉祭獻給耶和華，從這十分之一中，將所獻給耶和華的舉祭歸給祭司亞倫。
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 奉給你們的一切禮物，要從其中將至好的，就是分別為聖的，獻給耶和華為舉祭。
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 所以你要對利未人說：你們從其中將至好的舉起，這就算為你們場上的糧，又如酒醡的酒。
“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 你們和你們家屬隨處可以吃；這原是你們的賞賜，是酬你們在會幕裏辦事的勞。
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 你們從其中將至好的舉起，就不致因這物擔罪。你們不可褻瀆以色列人的聖物，免得死亡。」
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.’”
