Numbers 18
1 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.
BAWIPA ni Aron koevah, nangmouh hoi na capanaw hoi nang koe kaawm e na pa imthungnaw ni, hmuen kathoung hoi kâkuen e payonpakainae yon teh na phu awh han. Hahoi nama hoi nang koe kaawm e na capanaw hoi vaihma lah na onae hoi kâkuen e payonpakainae yo hah na phu awh han.
2 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.
Na pa miphun, Levih miphun na hmaunawnghanaw ni kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim hmalah na capanaw koe ao navah, nang hoi thaw cungtalah rei a tawk thai nahan, nang koe na thokhai han.
3 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.
Na panki e thaw hoi lukkareiim thaw a panki e naw na kabawp han. Hatei, hmuen kathoung hlaamnaw hoi bawknae khoungroe hah hnai awh hanh naseh, telah nahoeh pawiteh, ahnimouh hai nangmouh hai na due awh han.
4 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.
Ahnimouh ni na kabawp awh vaiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim thaw pueng hah a panki e patetlah lukkareiim thaw a tawk awh han. Hatei alawilae tami ni na hnai awh mahoeh.
5 And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.
Isarel catounnaw lathueng vah lungkhueknae ao hoeh nahanlah, nang nama ni hmuen kathoung thaw hoi khoungroe thaw hah na ham lah na la han.
6 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.
Khenhaw! kai ni na hmaunawngha Levih taminaw hah Isarel catounnaw thung hoi ka la teh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe thaw tawk hanlah, nangmouh hanlah BAWIPA koehoi poe e nangmouh koe poe e doeh.
7 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.”
Hatdawkvah, nang nama hoi na capanaw ni khoungroe hoi yaphni athung lae hnonaw pueng dawk vaihma na coungnae thaw heh poehno patetlah nang koe poe lah ao. Hatei, alawilae tami bawk pawiteh thei lah ao han.
8 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.
BAWIPA ni Aron a pato teh, khenhaw! kai kama roeroe ni kahek thuengnae koe Isarel catounnaw poehno kathoungnaw pueng hah, nang nama hoi na capanaw e ham lah a yungyoe hane phung lah na poe.
9 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.
Hmai sawi hoeh e pueng nang han hno kathoung poung lah ao han. A pasoung awh e pueng, tavai thuengnae, yon thuengnae, hoi kâtapoe thuengnae, kai koe na poe awh e hah, nang hoi na capanaw hanlah ka thoung poung lah ao han.
10 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
Tongpa pueng ni hmuen kathoung poung koe na ca awh vaiteh, nangmouh hanlah ka thoung e lah ao han.
11 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.
Het hai na ham lah ao han, tavai thuengnae koe a poe awh e hno, Isarel catounnaw kahek thuengnae hnopoe pueng hah nang nama hoi na capa na canu naw hoi a yungyoe na ham lah na poe. Na im dawk tamikathoung kaawm e pueng ni a ca thai awh han.
12 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.
Kahawipoung e satui hoi misur kahawipoung e hoi aluepaw BAWIPA hanlah a poe awh e hah na poe.
13 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.
Ahnimae law dawk e aluepaw hmaloe ka hmin e BAWIPA hanlah a poe awh e hah nange lah ao han. Na im dawk tamikathoung kaawm e pueng ni a ca thai awh han.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
Isarelnaw ni poehno e pueng teh nange lah ao han.
15 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.
BAWIPA hanlah a poe awh e camoim ka paawng pasuek e pueng teh tami thoseh, saring thoseh nange lah ao han. Hatei camin teh na ratang roeroe han. Kathounghoehe saring camin hai na ratang han.
16 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.
Thapa yung touh e ratang hanlah kaawm e hah ratangnae phu na to vaiteh, hmuen kathoung koe hno e sekel panga touh hoi na ratang han (sekel teh gerah 20 touh doeh).
17 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.
Hatei maitotan camin hoi tu camin hoi hmae camin teh na ratang awh mahoeh. Hotnaw teh a thoung awh. A thipaling teh khoungroe dawk na kathek vaiteh, BAWIPA han hmuitui lah athaw hah hmai hoi hmaisawi thuengnae koe na sawi awh han.
18 And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
Kahek thuengnae koe a takuep hoi aloung teh nange lah ao e patetlah a moi hah nange lah ao han.
19 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.”
Kathounge hno hoi kahek thuengnae koe Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA hanlah a poe awh e hah, a yungyoe na ham lah na poe. BAWIPA hmalah nang nama hoi na capanaw hoi na canu naw hoi yungyoe lawkkam lah ao han telah ati.
20 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.
BAWIPA ni Aron koevah, a ram dawk na ham kawi banghai awm mahoeh, a thungup hai na ham kawi banghai awm mahoeh. Kai doeh Isarel catoun thung dawk na ham hoi na coe e râw lah ka o.
21 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.
Hahoi Levih catounnaw teh, khenhaw! thawtawknae koe a thaw tawk awh e lukkareiim koe thaw tawk phu lah Isarel ram e pung hra pung touh pueng teh na poe awh.
22 No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
Atu totouh hoi teh Isarel catounnaw ni, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim teh hnai awh roeroe hanh naseh. Telah hoehpawiteh, yonpennae phu hoi a due payon awh han doeh.
23 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.
Hatei, Levihnaw ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe thaw a tawk awh vaiteh, thaw abuemlahoi a la awh han. Hetnaw heh catounnaw ditouh phunglam lah ao han. Isarel catoun thung vah a ham kawi banghai awm mahoeh.
24 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.”
Isarel catounnaw ni pung hra pung touh BAWIPA hanlah kahek thuengnae a poe awh e hah Levihnaw hanlah râw lah ka poe toe. Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh koe Isarel catounnaw thung dawk râw a coe kawi banghai awm mahoeh telah yo ka ti pouh toung tayaw telah ati.
25 And the LORD instructed Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
26 “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.
hothloilah Levihnaw hah pato nateh, ahnimouh koe na râw hanlah Isarel catounnaw pung hra touh dawk pung touh na poe e hah ahnimouh koehoi na hmu awh toteh, hote pung hra pung touh e thung hoi pung hra pung touh hah BAWIPA koe kahek thuengnae na poe awh han.
27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
Hottelah nangmae kahek thuengnae teh cangkatinnae koe cakang aluepaw hoi misurtui ahruem patetlah pouk e lah ao han.
28 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.
Hottelah Isarel catounnaw koehoi pung hra pung touh na hmu awh e pueng BAWIPA hanelah kahek thuengnae koe pou na poe awh han. Hahoi BAWIPA hanelah kahek thuengnae hah Aron na poe awh han.
29 You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
Na hmu awh e pueng thung hoi, kahawipoung, kathoungpounge hah BAWIPA koe kahek thuengnae na poe awh han.
30 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.
Hatdawkvah ahnimouh koe, hotnaw thung dawk hoi kahawi poung e na kahek awh toteh, Levihnaw a cangkatin e dawk hoi ka tâcawt e hoi misurtui ka lawng e patetlah pouk lah ao han.
31 And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
Nâ e hmuen pueng koehai koung na ca thai awh han. Nangmouh hoi na imthung ni hai, bangkongtetpawiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe e thaw tawk phu doeh
32 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.’”
Kahawipoung e na kahek awh toteh, yonae yon phu lah awm mahoeh. Hatei, Isarel catounnaw poehno kathounge hah na kamhnawng awh mahoeh, telah hoehpawiteh, na due awh han tet pouh telah atipouh.
