Brojevi 18
1 Tada Jahve reče Aronu: “Ti, tvoji sinovi i tvoj pradjedovski dom s tobom bit ćete odgovorni za grijehe u Svetištu; ti i tvoji sinovi s tobom bit ćete odgovorni za grijehe svoga svećeništva.
Yahweh said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your ancestor's clan will be responsible for all sins committed against the sanctuary. But only you and your sons with you will be responsible for all sins committed by anyone in the priesthood.
2 Pridruži k sebi i svoju braću od Levijeva plemena - tvoga pradjedovskog doma - neka ti se priključe da ti poslužuju, tebi i tvojim sinovima s tobom, pred Šatorom svjedočanstva.
As for your fellow members of the tribe of Levi, your ancestors' tribe, you must bring them with you so they may join you and help you when you and your sons serve in front of the tent of the covenant decrees.
3 Neka stoje na službu tebi i svemu Šatoru, ali neka se ne približuju pokućstvu u Svetištu niti žrtveniku, da ne poginu i oni i vi.
They must serve you and the whole tent. However, they must not come near to anything in the holy place or connected with the altar, or they and also you will die.
4 Neka su, dakle, tebi pridruženi i neka preuzmu brigu za Šator sastanka, svaku službu oko Šatora. I neka se ni jedan svjetovnjak ne približuje vama,
They must join you and take care of the tent of meeting, for all the work connected with the tent. A foreigner must not come near you.
5 a vi vršite službu u Svetištu i službu oko žrtvenika da se više ne izlijeva gnjev na Izraelce.
You must take responsibility for the holy place and for the altar so that my anger does not come on the people of Israel again.
6 Uzeh, evo, vašu braću levite između Izraelaca vama za dar; kao darovani pripadaju Jahvi da obavljaju službu oko Šatora sastanka.
Look, I myself have chosen your fellow members of the Levites from among the descendants of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to me to do the work connected to the tent of meeting.
7 Ti i tvoji sinovi s tobom preuzmite svećeničke poslove oko svega što spada na žrtvenik i iza zavjese. Službu koju dajem na dar vašem svećeništvu vi obavljajte. A svjetovnjak koji se primakne neka se pogubi.”
But only you and your sons may exercise the priesthood regarding everything connected with the altar and everything inside the curtain. You yourselves must fulfill those responsibilities. I am giving you the priesthood as a gift. Any foreigner who approaches must be put to death.”
8 Još reče Jahve Aronu: “Tebi, evo, povjeravam brigu o onom što se meni prinosi. Sve što Izraelci posvećuju dodjeljujem tebi i tvojim sinovima kao baštinu trajnim zakonom.
Then Yahweh said to Aaron, “Look, I have given you the duty of handling the offerings raised up to me, and all the holy offerings that the people of Israel give to me. I have given these offerings to you and your sons as your ongoing share.
9 Ovo neka pripadne tebi od svetinja nad svetinjama: od paljenih žrtava svi njihovi darovi, za sve njihove prinosnice, za sve njihove okajnice i za sve njihove naknadnice što ih budu meni uzvraćali; ta vrlo sveta stvar neka pripadne tebi i tvojim sinovima!
This will belong to you from the most holy things that is kept from the fire. From every offering of theirs—every grain offering, every sin offering, and every guilt offering—they are set apart to you and to your sons.
10 Blagujte ih kao najveće svetinje! Svaki muškarac može ih jesti. Neka ti budu svete!
These offerings are very holy; every male must eat it, for they are holy to you.
11 I ovo neka bude za te: ono što se uzima od izraelskih prinosa da se prinese kao prikaznica - trajnim zakonom predajem tebi, tvojim sinovima i tvojim kćerima s tobom. Svatko tko u tvome domu bude čist može od toga jesti.
These are the offerings that will belong to you, set apart out of all their gifts of the wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to you, your sons, and your daughters, as your portion forever. Everyone who is ceremonially clean in your family may eat any of these offerings.
12 Najbolje od novoga ulja i najbolje od novoga vina i žita - prvine koje se prinose Jahvi - predajem tebi.
All the best of the oil, all the best of the new wine and grain, the firstfruits that the people give to me—all these things I have given to you.
13 Prvi rodovi svega u njihovoj zemlji što ih budu donosili Jahvi neka budu tvoji. Tko je god čist u tvome domu može ih jesti.
The first ripe produce of all that is in their land, which they bring to me, will be yours. Everyone who is clean in your family may eat these things.
14 Sve što u Izraelu bude određeno za 'herem' neka je tvoje.
Every devoted thing in Israel will be yours.
15 Svako prvorođenče svih bića - kako ljudi tako i životinja - što se prinose Jahvi neka bude tvoje. Samo pusti da se otkupi prvenac od ljudi i prvenče od nečiste stoke.
Everything that opens the womb, all the firstborn which the people offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal, will be yours. Nevertheless, the people must certainly buy back every firstborn son, and they must buy back the firstborn male of unclean animals.
16 Kad budu stari mjesec dana, pusti da ih otkupljuju. A njihovu otkupnu cijenu odredi: pet srebrnih šekela, prema hramskom šekelu, a to je dvadeset gera.
Those that are to be bought back by the people must be bought back after becoming one month old. Then the people may buy them back, for the price of five shekels, by the standard weight of the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs.
17 Ali prvenče kravlje, prvenče ovčje i prvenče kozje neka se ne otkupljuje. Oni su svetinja. Krv njihovu izlij na žrtvenik, a pretilinu njihovu sažeži u kad kao žrtvu spaljenu na ugodan miris Jahvi.
But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat—you must not buy back these animals; they are set apart to me. You must sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to Yahweh.
18 Njihovo meso neka pripadne tebi; kao i grudi žrtve prikaznice i desno pleće.
Their meat will be yours. Like the raised breast and the right thigh, their meat will be yours.
19 Sve posvećene prinose što ih Izraelci podižu Jahvi predajem trajnim zakonom tebi, tvojim sinovima i tvojim kćerima s tobom. To je savez osoljen, trajan pred Jahvom, tebi i tvome potomstvu s tobom.”
All the holy offerings that the people of Israel present to Yahweh, I have given to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a continual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt, a binding covenant forever, before Yahweh for both you and your descendants with you.”
20 “Nemoj imati baštine u zemlji njihovoj”, reče Jahve Aronu, “niti sebi stječi posjeda među njima! Ja sam tvoj dio i tvoja baština među Izraelcima.”
Yahweh said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in the people's land, nor will you have any share of property among the people. I am your share and inheritance among the people of Israel.
21 “Levijevim sinovima, evo, predajem u baštinu sve desetine u Izraelu za njihovu službu - za službu što je obavljaju u Šatoru sastanka.
To the descendants of Levi, look, I have given all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the service that they provide in working at the tent of meeting.
22 A Izraelci neka se više ne primiču Šatoru sastanka, da ne navuku na se grijeh i ne poginu.
From now on the people of Israel must not come near the tent of meeting, or they will be responsible for this sin and die.
23 Neka samo leviti obavljaju službu u Šatoru sastanka; i neka oni budu odgovorni za svoj grijeh. Trajna je to odredba za vaše naraštaje; među Izraelcima neka nemaju posjeda,
The Levites must do the work connected to the tent of meeting. They will be responsible for any sin regarding it. This will be a permanent law throughout your people's generations. Among the people of Israel they must have no inheritance.
24 jer ja im predajem u posjed desetine što ih Izraelci prinose na dar Jahvi. Stoga sam za njih rekao: neka oni nemaju posjeda među Izraelcima.”
For the tithes of the people of Israel, which they offer as a contribution to me—it is these that I have given to the Levites as their inheritance. That is why I said to them, 'They must have no inheritance among the people of Israel.'”
25 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
26 “Levitima govori i reci im: 'Kad od Izraelaca primate desetinu, koju ja od njih dajem vama u baštinu, od toga onda vi prinesite podizanicu Jahvi: desetinu od desetine.
“You must speak to the Levites and say to them, 'When you receive from the people of Israel the tenth that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tenth of the tithe.
27 Prinos će vam biti zaračunan kao da je prinos s gumna i Óotoka iz badnja.
Your contribution must be considered by you as if it were a tenth of the grain from the threshing floor or of the production from the winepress.
28 Tako isto prinosite podizanicu Jahvi i od svih svojih desetina što ih primate od Izraelaca. Od toga davajte podizanicu Jahvinu svećeniku Aronu.
So you also must make a contribution to Yahweh from all the tithes that you receive from the people of Israel. From them you must give his contribution to Aaron the priest.
29 Od svih darova koje budete primali podižite podizanicu Jahvi; od svega ono najbolje - onaj dio koji treba posvećivati.'
Out of all the gifts you receive, you must make every contribution to Yahweh. You must do this from all the best and the holiest things that have been given to you.'
30 Još im reci: 'Pošto od toga prinesete najbolji dio, neka se to levitima uračuna kao prihod s gumna i prihod iz badnja.
Therefore you must say to them, 'When you present the best of it, then it must be credited to the Levites as the product from the threshing floor and the winepress.
31 Na svakome ga mjestu možete jesti, i vi i vaši ukućani, jer to vam je nagrada za vašu službu u Šatoru sastanka.
You may eat the rest of your gifts in any place, you and your families, because it is your pay in return for your work in the tent of meeting.
32 Pošto prinesete njegov najbolji dio, nećete navući na se grijeha; svetinja Izraelaca nećete oskvrnjivati te nećete ginuti.'”
You will not incur any guilt by eating and drinking it, if you have presented to Yahweh the best of what you have received. But you must not profane the holy offerings of the people of Israel, or you will die.'”
