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.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Aaron: “Ou menm avèk fis ou yo avèk lakay zansèt ou va pote inikite la pou zafè sanktyè a, e nou menm avèk fis nou yo va pote inikite la kon prèt.
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.
Mennen avè w osi frè nou yo, tribi Levi a, tribi papa zansèt ou a, pou yo kapab vin jwenn avèk ou e sèvi ou, pandan ou menm avèk fis ou yo devan tant temwayaj la.
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.
Yo va kenbe lòd ou avèk devwa tout asanble a, men yo p ap pwoche veso sanktyè yo avèk lotèl la, pou yo pa mouri; ni yo, ni ou menm.
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.
Yo va vin jwenn avèk ou, e fè devwa a tant asanble a pou tout sèvis tant lan. Men yon etranje pa pou pwoche prè nou.
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.
“Konsa nou va fè tout devwa a sanktyè a ak devwa a lotèl la, pou pa toujou gen kòlè sou fis Israël yo.
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.
Veye byen, se Mwen Menm ki te pran Levit parèy nou yo pami fis Israël yo. Yo se yon don pou nou menm, ki dedye bay SENYÈ a, pou fè sèvis tant asanble a.
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.”
Men ou menm ak fis ou yo ap ranpli pozisyon prèt pou tout bagsay ki konsène otèl la, ak andedann vwal la. Ou va fè sèvis yo. Mwen ap bay ou pozisyon prèt kon yon pozisyon donnen. Men okenn lòt ki pwoche va mete a lanmò.”
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.
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Aaron: “Gade byen, se Mwen Menm ki te bay ou chaj sou tout ofrann Mwen yo, menm tout don sen a fis Israël yo. Mwen te bay ou yo akoz onksyon an nou resevwa, e a fis ou yo kòm yon dwa ki pou tout tan.
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.
Sila a va pou nou, soti nan don pi sen pase tout lòt yo ki rezève soti nan dife a; tout ofrann pa yo, menm tout ofrann pa yo, tout ofrann sereyal, tout ofrann peche ak tout ofrann koupab ke yo rann ban Mwen yo, yo va sen pase tout lòt yo pou nou ak fis nou yo.
10 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
Kòm don ki sen pase tout lòt yo, nou va manje l. Tout gason va manje li. Li va sen pou nou menm.
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.
“Sa osi se pou nou, ofrann a don pa yo, menm tout ofrann balanse vè lotèl a fis Israël yo; Mwen te bannou yo ak fis nou yo ak fi nou yo ki avèk nou, kòm yon dwa ki pou tout tan. Tout sila lakay nou yo ki pwòp, kapab manje yo.
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.
“Tout sa ki pi bon nan lwil fre a, tout sa ki pi bon nan diven fre a ak nan sereyal la, premye fwi a sila ke yo bay a SENYÈ a, Mwen bannou yo.
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.
Premye nan fwi mi ki nan peyi yo, ke yo pote bay SENYÈ a, va pou ou. Tout moun lakay ou ki pwòp, kapab manje li.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
“Tout bagay ki konsakre an Israël va pou ou.
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.
Tout premye pòtre nan vant a tout chè, kit se lòm, kit se bèt, ke yo ofri bay SENYÈ a, va pou nou. Men premye ne a lòm nan, nou va anverite peye ranson, e premye ne bèt ki pa pwòp, nou va peye ranson.
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.
Epi pou pri ranson an, soti nan laj yon mwa, nou va peye ranson yo, selon pri nou yo, senk sik an ajan, selon sik sanktyè a, ki se ven gera.
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.
“Men premye ne a yon bèf oswa yon mouton, oswa premye ne a yon kabrit, ou pa pou peye ranson. Yo sen. Ou va flite san pa yo sou lotèl la, e ou va ofri grès yo nan lafimen kòm yon ofrann pa dife, kòm yon odè ki bon a SENYÈ a.
18 And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
Vyann pa yo va pou ou. Li va pou ou tankou pwatrin ak kwis nan yon ofrann balanse anlè.
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.”
Tout ofrann a don sen yo, ke fis Israël yo ofri bay SENYÈ a, Mwen te bannou yo, avèk fis ou yo ak fi ou yo ki avèk ou, kòm yon dwa ki pou tout tan. Li se yon kontra disèl devan SENYÈ a avèk ou avèk desandan ou yo avèk ou.”
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.
SENYÈ a te di a Aaron: “Ou p ap gen okenn eritaj nan peyi a ni posesyon okenn pati pami yo. Mwen se pati pa ou ak eritaj ou pami fis Israël yo.
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.
“A fis Levi yo, gade byen, Mwen te bay tout dim an Israël yo kòm eritaj, anretou pou sèvis yo ke yo fè, sèvis a tant asanble a.
22 No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
Fis a Israël pa pou pwoche tant asanble a ankò; sinon, yo va pote peche e yo va mouri.
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.
Sèl Levit yo va fè sèvis tant asanble a. Yo va pote inikite pa yo. Sa va yon règleman pou tout tan atravè jenerasyon nou yo. Pami fis Israël yo, yo p ap gen okenn eritaj.
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.”
Paske dim a fis Israël yo, ke yo ofri kòm yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a, Mwen te bay a Levit yo kòm eritaj. Konsa, Mwen te di konsènan yo: ‘Yo p ap gen okenn eritaj pami fis Israël yo.’”
25 And the LORD instructed Moses,
SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
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.
“Anplis, ou va pale avèk Levit yo pou di yo: ‘Lè nou pran soti nan fis Israël yo, dim ke Mwen te bay a nou menm pou eritaj nou, alò nou va prezante yon ofrann ki sòti nan li bay SENYÈ a, yon dim nan dim nan.
27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
Ofrann nou va konte pou nou kòm sila ki sòti nan voye anlè glasi a, oswa pwodwi ki nan basen diven an.
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.
Konsa, nou va, osi, prezante yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a, ki soti nan dim nou yo, ke nou resevwa de fis Israël yo. Epi soti nan li, nou va bay ofrann SENYÈ a a Aaron, prèt la.
29 You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
Nan tout don nou yo, nou va prezante tout ofrann ke nou dwe bay a SENYÈ a, soti nan tout sa ki pi bon nan yo, pati ki sakre nan yo.’
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.
“Ou va di yo: ‘Lè nou ofri meyè pati a, li va kalkile a Levit yo kòm pwodwi a ofrann voye anlè glasi a, oswa pwodwi a basen diven an.
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.
Nou gen dwa manje l nenpòt kote, nou menm avèk lakay nou, paske se pèyman nou an echanj pou sèvis nou nan tant asanble a.
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.’”
Nou p ap pote peche akoz li, lè nou fin ofri meyè pati a. Men nou pa pou degrade bagay sakre a fis Israël yo; sinon, nou va mouri.’”
