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.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Kom, ac wen nutum ac mwet Levi, fah kaiyuk ke kutena tafongla ma sikyak ke pacl kowos orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik; tusruktu kom ac wen nutum mukena pa ac kaiyuk ke kutena tafongla ma orek ke kunokon lun mwet tol.
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.
Use mwet in sou lom ke sruf lun Levi in wi kom orekma ac kasrekom pacl kom, ac wen nutum, orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
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.
Elos enenu in akfalye ma kunalos nu sum ac oayapa fosrngakin orekma kunalos ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal uh, tusruktu elos in tia kahl kutena ma akmutalyeyukla in Acn Mutal ku ke loang uh. Elos fin kahlya, komtal kewa fah anwuki.
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.
Elos in wi kom orekma ac akfalye ma kunalos nukewa in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tusruktu wangin mwet su tia fal in wi orekma ke ma inge fah wi kom orekma.
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.
Kom ac wen nutum mukena fah akfalye orekma ke Acn Mutal ac ke loang uh, tuh kasrkusrak luk fah tia sifilpa tayak lain mwet Israel.
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.
Nga pa sulela mwet Levi wiowos liki inmasrlon mwet Israel tuh in oana sie mwe kite nu sum. Akmutalyeyukla elos nu sik, tuh elos in ku in oru orekma kunalos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
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.”
Tusruktu kom ac wen nutum mukena fah akfalye kunokon nukewa lun mwet tol su ma nu ke loang uh ac nu ke ma su oan in Acn Mutal Na Mutal. Ma inge ma kunowos, mweyen nga sot nu suwos wal lun mwet tol oana sie mwe kite. Kutena mwet su tia fal in wi orekma ke ma inge su kalukyang apkuran nu ke ma mutal uh ac fah anwuki.”
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.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Esam lah nga sot nu sum mwe sang mutal nukewa ma ituku nu sik ac tia isisyak. Nga sot ma inge nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum tuh in ip lowos nwe tok.
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.
Pa inge ip lom ke mwe sang su arulana mutal su tia firriyuk fin loang uh: mwe kisa wheat, mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac mwe kisa in akfalye ma koluk lukma. Ma nukewa ma ituku nu sik tuh in sie kisa mutal, ma lom ac lun wen nutum.
10 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
Kowos fah kang ma inge in sie acn mutal, ac mukul mukena fah ku in mongo kac. Kowos in eis mu ma inge ma na mutal.
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.
“Sayen ma inge, kutena mwe sang mutal su mwet Israel elos use nu sik ac fah ma lom. Nga sot ma inge nu sum, ac nu sin wen ac acn nutum tuh in ma lowos nwe tok. Mwet nukewa in sou lom su aknasnasyeyukla, elos ku in mongo kac.
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.
“Nga sot nu sum ma su wo emeet ke fahko se meet ma mwet Israel elos use nu sik ke kais sie yac: oil in olive, wain, ac wheat.
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.
Ma inge nukewa ma lom. Mwet nukewa in sou lom su aknasnasyeyukla ku in mongo kac.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
“Ma nukewa in Israel ma kisakinyukme na pwaye nu sik ma lom.
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.
“Wounse ke tulik ac kosro nukewa ma mwet Israel ase nu sik, ma nutum. Tusruktu kom fah eis molin sifil molela ke tulik wounse nukewa, ac oayapa eis molin sifil molela ke wounse ke kosro nukewa ma tia nasnas.
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.
Tulik uh enenu in sifil moliyukla ke elos sun malem sie matwa, ke lupan moul se ma oasr ke ipin silver limekosr, fal nu ke lupa oakwuki tari.
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.
Tusruktu wounsien cow, sheep, ac nani uh ac fah tia sifil moliyukla; ma inge ma na luk, ma in kisakinyuk. Fwela loang uh ke srahn ma inge ac esukak kiris kac tuh in sie mwe kisa mongo, sie foul su akinsewowoyeyu.
18 And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
Ikwa ke ma inge ma nom, oapana iwa ac nia layen layot ke mwe kisa sriyukla.
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.”
“Mwe sang mutal nukewa su mwet Israel use nu sik, nga sot nu sum ac nu sin wen ac acn nutum ke pacl nukewa fahsru uh. Sie wuleang na kawil pa nga orala inge nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum.”
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.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Ac fah wangin acn kom fah usrui, oayapa ac fah wangin ip ke acn lun Israel fah itukot lom. Nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah mwe usru lom ac ip lom.”
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.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga sang nu sin mwet Levi sie tafu singoul nukewa ma mwet Israel use nu sik. Ma inge ma in moli orekma lalos ke elos karinganang Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik.
22 No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
Mwet Israel saya fah tia sifilpa kalukyang nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, mweyen elos fin oru, ma inge ac sang mwatalos in misa.
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.
Inge fahla, mwet Levi mukena ac fah karingin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac oru kunokon nukewa nu kac. Sie oakwuk kawil pa inge, su ac ma pac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos. Ac fah wangin acn itukyang nu sin mwet Levi in Israel,
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.”
mweyen nga sang nu selos sie tafu ngoul ke mwe sang sriyukla ma mwet Israel elos use nu sik. Ma inge nga sang tuh in ma lun mwet Levi. Pa ingan sripa se oru nga fahk nu sin mwet Levi mu ac fah wangin acn itukyang nu selos in Israel.”
25 And the LORD instructed Moses,
LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses
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.
in fahk nu sin mwet Levi: “Ke kowos eis sin mwet Israel tafu ngoul lalos ma LEUM GOD El asot nu suwos tuh in ma lowos, kowos fah sang sie tafu singoul kac tuh in sie mwe sang sriyukla nu sin LEUM GOD.
27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
Mwe sang sriyukla se inge ac fah oaoala mu oana mwe kisa ma mwet ima uh oru ke wheat sasu ac wain sasu.
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.
In ouiya se inge kowos wi pac sang mwe sang sriyukla se lun LEUM GOD inge liki sie tafu singoul nukewa su kowos eis sin mwet Israel. Kowos fah sang mwe sang sriyukla inge lun LEUM GOD nu sel Aaron mwet tol.
29 You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
Sang ma wo oemeet ke ma kowos eis uh.
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.
Tukun kowos use ip ma wo oemeet kac, kowos ku in orekmakin ma lula an, oana ke mwet ima uh ac sruokya ma lula tukun el oru mwe sang lal uh.
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.
Oana sie acn ma kowos, ac sou lowos uh, ku in kang ma lula inge we, mweyen ma inge molin orekma lowos ke kulansap lowos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
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.’”
Kowos fin akfalye in sang ma wo emeet kac uh nu sin LEUM GOD, na ac fah wangin mwatuwos kowos fin kang ma lula an. Tusruktu taranna kowos in tia akkupatolye mwe sang mutal lun mwet Israel ke kowos kang kutena sin mwe sang inge meet liki itukyang ip wowo kac uh. Kowos fin oru, kowos ac fah anwuki.”
