< Numbers 18 >
1 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
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.
2 And thy brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined to thee, and minister to thee, but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony.
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.
3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tent. Only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor ye.
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.
4 And they shall be joined to thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent, and a stranger shall not come near to you.
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.
5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, that there be no more wrath upon the sons of Israel.
“Nyaka ikaw tich mar rito kama ler mar lemo kod kendo mar misango, mondo mi masira kik lwar kuom jo-Israel kendo.
6 And I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the sons of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
An awuon aseyiero jo-Lawi weteni koa kuom jo-Israel kaka chiwo ne un, mowal ne Jehova Nyasaye mondo oti e Hemb Romo.
7 And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil, and ye shall serve. I give you the priesthood as a service of gift. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
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.”
8 And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave offerings, even all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel. I have given them to thee by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion forever.
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.
9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation 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 thee and for thy sons.
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.
10 As the most holy things thou shall eat of it; every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to thee.
Chame kaka gima ler moloyo; chwo duto nochame. Nyaka ikawe kaka gima ler.
11 And this is thine: the heave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. I have given them to thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
“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.
12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to Jehovah, I have given them to thee.
“Amiyou mo zeituni mayom duto kod divai manyien mayom duto kod cham ma gichiwone Jehova Nyasaye kaka olemo mokwongo mar keyo margi.
13 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Jehovah, shall be thine. Everyone who is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
Olembe mokwongo duto moa e puodho ma gikelone Jehova Nyasaye nobed mari. Ngʼato angʼata mantiere e odi mopwodhore maler nyalo chame.
14 Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine.
“Gimoro amora mochiwne Jehova Nyasaye chuth nobed magu.
15 Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine. Nevertheless the firstborn of man thou shall surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts thou shall redeem.
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.
16 And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shall thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).
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.
17 But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shall not redeem. They are holy. Thou shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to Jehovah.
“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.
18 And the flesh of them shall be thine. As the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.
Ring jamnigo gin magu, mana kaka misango mifwayo mar agoko kod em korachwich bende maru.
19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel offer to Jehovah, I have given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before Jehovah to thee and to thy seed with thee.
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.”
20 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall thou have any portion among them. I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the sons of Israel.
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.
21 And to the sons 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.
“Amiyo jo-Lawi achiel kuom apar duto mantiere e Israel kaka girkeni margi ka achulogigo kuom tich ma gitiyo e Hemb Romo.
22 And henceforth the sons of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
Chakre kawuono jo-Israel ok onego dhi machiegni gi Hemb Romo, ka ok kamano to ibiro kumogi kuom richo mag-gi kendo gibiro tho.
23 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. And among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
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.
24 For the tithe of the sons of Israel, which they offer as a heave offering to Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said to them, Among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
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.’”
25 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
26 Moreover thou shall speak to the Levites, and say to them, When ye take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.
“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.
27 And your heave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
Chiwouno nokwan kaka cham moa kar dino kata kaka divai mimadho moa kar biyo divai.
28 Thus ye also shall offer a heave offering to Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the sons of Israel. And from it ye shall give Jehovah's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
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.
29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of Jehovah, of all the best of it, even the hallowed part of it out of it.
Nyaka ichiw pok mar Jehova Nyasaye gino maber kendo maler moloyo mar gik moko duto ma omiu.’
30 Therefore thou shall say to them, When ye heave the best of it from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.
“Wachne jo-Lawi kama: ‘Ka ichiwo mano maber, to ibiro kwane ne in kaka gima oa e kar dino cham kata kar biyo divai.
31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
Un kod jouteu duto unyalo chamo bathe moko kamoro amora, nimar en pok maru ne tich mutiyo e Hemb Romo.
32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it. And ye shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, that ye not die.
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.’”
