Kwan 18

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.

And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of 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.

And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness.

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 keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, 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.

And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto 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 ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

6 An awuon aseyiero jo-Lawi weteni koa kuom jo-Israel kaka chiwo ne un, mowal ne Jehova Nyasaye mondo oti e Hemb Romo.

And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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.”

Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office [unto you] as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall 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.

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.

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.

This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons.

10 Chame kaka gima ler moloyo; chwo duto nochame. Nyaka ikawe kaka gima ler.

In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

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] thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

12 “Amiyou mo zeituni mayom duto kod divai manyien mayom duto kod cham ma gichiwone Jehova Nyasaye kaka olemo mokwongo mar keyo margi.

All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.

13 Olembe mokwongo duto moa e puodho ma gikelone Jehova Nyasaye nobed mari. Ngʼato angʼata mantiere e odi mopwodhore maler nyalo chame.

[And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat [of] it.

14 “Gimoro amora mochiwne Jehova Nyasaye chuth nobed magu.

Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

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.

Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

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.

And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, 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 the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they [are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

18 Ring jamnigo gin magu, mana kaka misango mifwayo mar agoko kod em korachwich bende maru.

And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

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 heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

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.

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 “Amiyo jo-Lawi achiel kuom apar duto mantiere e Israel kaka girkeni margi ka achulogigo kuom tich ma gitiyo e Hemb Romo.

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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.

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, 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.

But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

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.’”

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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.

Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.

27 Chiwouno nokwan kaka cham moa kar dino kata kaka divai mimadho moa kar biyo divai.

And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of 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.

Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD’s heave offering to Aaron the priest.

29 Nyaka ichiw pok mar Jehova Nyasaye gino maber kendo maler moloyo mar gik moko duto ma omiu.’

Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof out 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 thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 Un kod jouteu duto unyalo chamo bathe moko kamoro amora, nimar en pok maru ne tich mutiyo e Hemb Romo.

And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it [is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

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.’”

And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
