1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Harun niya, “In gi yawuoti kod od wuonu nyaka ukaw tingʼ mag richo motimne kama ler mar lemo, kendo in-gi yawuoti kende ema nyaka ukaw tingʼ richo motimne jodolo.
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.
2 Kel jo-Lawi weteu koa e dhoutu mag anywola mondo oriwre kodi kendo gikonyu ka in kod yawuote tiyo e nyim Hema mar Sandug Rapar.
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.
3 Nyaka giwinju kendo giti tije duto mag Hema, to kik gidhi machiegni gi gig kama ler mar lemo kata mag kendo mar misango, ka ok kamano to gin kod un duto ubiro tho.
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.
4 Nyaka giriwre kodi kendo gikaw tich mar rito Hemb Romo kaachiel gi tije duto manie Hema, kendo onge ngʼat machielo moyiene biro machiegni gi kama intie.
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.
5 “Nyaka ikaw tich mar rito kama ler mar lemo kod kendo mar misango, mondo mi masira kik lwar kuom jo-Israel kendo.
And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.
6 An awuon aseyiero jo-Lawi weteni koa kuom jo-Israel kaka chiwo ne un, mowal ne Jehova Nyasaye mondo oti e Hemb Romo.
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.
7 To in kod yawuoti kende ema onego bed jodolo kaluwore gi gik moko duto manie kendo mar misango kod mago mantiere ei pasia. Amiyou tich mar bedo jodolo kaka chiwo. Ngʼato angʼata ma osudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo nyaka negi.”
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.”
8 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Harun niya, “An awuon aseketi jarit mar chiwo duto mokelna; chiwo maler duto ma jo-Israel omiya amiyi kod yawuoti kaka pok maru kendo mano ema unuyud pile.
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.
9 Nyaka ikaw thoth bath chiwo duto maler ma ok owangʼ e mach. Koa kuom mich duto ma gikelona kaka chiwo maler moloyo, bedni en chiwo mar cham, kata mar misango mar golo richo kata mar pwodhruok, pokno en mari kod yawuoti.
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.
10 Chame kaka gima ler moloyo; chwo duto nochame. Nyaka ikawe kaka gima ler.
You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
11 “Gimoro amora mowal tenge koa e mich mag misango mifwayo mar jo-Israel bende nobed mari. Achiwo ma ne in kod yawuoti gi nyigi kaka pok maru mapile pile. Ngʼato angʼata mantiere e odi mopwodhore maler nyalo chame.
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.
12 “Amiyou mo zeituni mayom duto kod divai manyien mayom duto kod cham ma gichiwone Jehova Nyasaye kaka olemo mokwongo mar keyo margi.
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.
13 Olembe mokwongo duto moa e puodho ma gikelone Jehova Nyasaye nobed mari. Ngʼato angʼata mantiere e odi mopwodhore maler nyalo chame.
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.
14 “Gimoro amora mochiwne Jehova Nyasaye chuth nobed magu.
Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
15 Nyodo mokwongo mar ich, obed dhano kata chiayo, mochiwne Jehova Nyasaye en mari. To nyaka uwar wuowi makayo moro amora kod kayo madichwo moro amora mar jamni ma ok ler.
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.
16 Ka giromo dwe achiel, nyaka iwargi e nengo mar wero ma en shekel abich mar fedha, kaluwore gi shekel mar kama ler mar lemo, ma pekne romo gera piero ariyo.
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.
17 “To kik iwar kayo ma rwath, rombo kata diel; nikech giler. Kir rembgi e kendo mar misango kendo iwangʼ mo mawuok kuomgi kaka misango miwangʼo gi mach, ma en gima dungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar mamoro Jehova Nyasaye.
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.
18 Ring jamnigo gin magu, mana kaka misango mifwayo mar agoko kod em korachwich bende maru.
And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
19 Gimoro amora mowal tenge koa kuom misengini maler ma jo-Israel ochiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye, amiyoi gi yawuoti kod nyigi kaka pok maru mapile. En singruok ma ok rum e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ne in kaachiel gi nyikwayi.”
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.”
20 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Harun niya, “Ok iniyud girkeni mora amora e piny jogi, kata pok moro amora ok inibedgo e kindgi nimar an e pok maru kendo girkeni maru e kind jo-Israel.
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.
21 “Amiyo jo-Lawi achiel kuom apar duto mantiere e Israel kaka girkeni margi ka achulogigo kuom tich ma gitiyo e Hemb Romo.
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.
22 Chakre kawuono jo-Israel ok onego dhi machiegni gi Hemb Romo, ka ok kamano to ibiro kumogi kuom richo mag-gi kendo gibiro tho.
No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
23 En mana jo-Lawi ema oyienegi mar tiyo tij Hemb Romo kendo kaw tingʼ duto mag richo motimie Hemb Romo. Ma en chik mogik makende ne tiengʼ mabiro. Ok giniyud girkeni moro amora kuom jo-Israel.
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.
24 Kata kamano, amiyo jo-Lawi kaka girkeni margi achiel kuom apar ma jo-Israel ochiwo kaka misango ne Jehova Nyasaye. Mano emomiyo ne awacho kama kuomgi: ‘Ok giniyud girkeni e dier jo-Israel.’”
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.”
25 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
And the LORD instructed Moses,
26 “Wuo gi jo-Lawi kendo iwachnegi kama: ‘Ka uyudo koa kuom jo-Israel achiel kuom apar ma amiyou kaka girkeni magu, to nyaka un bende ugol achiel kuom apar mar achiel kuom aparno kaka chiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
“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.
27 Chiwouno nokwan kaka cham moa kar dino kata kaka divai mimadho moa kar biyo divai.
Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
28 E yo machalo kama ema un bende ubiro chiwoe chiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye koa kuom achiel kuom apar duto muyudo koa kuom jo-Israel. E achiel kuom apargo, nyaka ichiw pok mar Jehova Nyasaye ne Harun, jadolo.
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.
29 Nyaka ichiw pok mar Jehova Nyasaye gino maber kendo maler moloyo mar gik moko duto ma omiu.’
You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
30 “Wachne jo-Lawi kama: ‘Ka ichiwo mano maber, to ibiro kwane ne in kaka gima oa e kar dino cham kata kar biyo divai.
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.
31 Un kod jouteu duto unyalo chamo bathe moko kamoro amora, nimar en pok maru ne tich mutiyo e Hemb Romo.
And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
32 Ka usegolone Jehova Nyasaye gik mabeyo moloyo kamano, to ok unubed joketho kuom wachno, kendo ok nobed ni udwanyo gik maler ma jo-Israel ochiwo kendo ok ubi tho.’”
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.’”
