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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Arona: Hianao sy ny zanakao ary ny tarana-drainao no hitondra ny heloky ny fitoerana masìna; ary ianao sy ny zanakao koa no hitondra ny heloky ny fisoronanareo.
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.
Ary ny rahalahinao avy amin’ ny firenen’ i Levy izay firenen’ ny razanao koa dia ento miaraka aminao, mba hikambana aminao izy ka hanompo anao; fa ianao sy ny zanakao ho eo anoloan’ ny trano-lain’ ny Vavolombelona.
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.
Dia hitandrina ny anjara-raharahanao sy ny anjara-raharaha rehetra momba ny trano-lay izy; kanefa ny fanaky ny fitoerana masìna sy ny alitara dia tsy mba hakekeny, fandrao maty ireo sy ny tenanareo koa.
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.
Dia hikambana aminao izy ka hitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny trano-lay fihaonana, dia ny fanompoana rehetra momba ny trano-lay; ary tsy hisy olon-kafa hanakaiky anareo.
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.
Dia hotandremanareo ny anjara-raharaha momba ny fitoerana masìna sy ny anjara-raharaha momba ny alitara, mba tsy hisy fahatezerana hahazo ny Zanak’ Isiraely intsony.
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.
Ary, indro, Izaho efa naka ny Levita rahalahinareo avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; omena anareo izy ho fanomezana ho an’ i Jehovah mba hanao ny fanompoana momba ny trano-lay fihaonana.
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.”
Fa ianao sy ny zanakao kosa no hitandrina ny fisoronanareo ka hanompo ny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra momba ny alitara sy ny ao anatin’ ny efitra lamba, dia fanompoana omeko anareo ny fisoronana; ary ny olon-kafa izay manakaiky dia hatao maty.
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.
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Arona hoe: Indro, Izaho efa nampitandrina anao ny fanatitra ho Ahy, dia ny zava-masìna rehetra aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; efa nomeko ho anjaranao sy ny taranakao izany, ho anjara mandrakizay.
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.
Izao no ho anao amin’ ny zavatra masìna indrindra, avy amin’ ny fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo; ny fanatiny rehetra sy ny fanatiny noho ny ota rehetra ary ny fanati-panonerany rehetra, izay hanonerany ho Ahy; ho masìna indrindra ho anao sy ny taranakao izany.
10 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
Toy ny fihinananao ny zavatra masìna indrindra no hihinananao azy; ny lehilahy rehetra no mahazo mihinana azy: masìna ho anao izany.
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.
Ary izao koa no ho anao: ny zavatra omeny ho fanatitra, dia ny fanatitra ahevaheva rehetra aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; efa nomeko ho anao sy ny zanakao-lahy ary ny zanakao-vavy koa izany ho anjara mandrakizay; izay rehetra madio amin’ ny ankohonanao no mahazo mihinana izany.
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.
Izay rehetra tsara indrindra amin’ ny diloilo sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny vary, dia ny voaloham-bokatra aminy, izay ateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, dia efa nomeko anao.
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.
Ny voaloham-bokatra rehetra eo amin’ ny taniny, izay hateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, dia ho anao; izay rehetra madio amin’ ny ankohonanao no mahazo mihinana azy.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
Ny zavatra rehetra voatokana amin’ ny Isiraely dia ho anao.
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.
Ny voalohan-teraka rehetra, izay ateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, na olona, na biby, dia ho anao avokoa; kanefa tsy maintsy havotanao ny voalohan-teraky ny biby maloto dia havotanao koa.
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.
Ary ny amin’ ny fanavotana azy, dia izay efa iray volana no havotanao, araka izay ataonao tombany, dia sekely dimy, araka ny sekely masìna (gera roa-polo izany).
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.
Fa ny voalohan-teraky ny omby, na ny voalohan-teraky ny ondry, na ny voalohan-teraky ny osy kosa tsy mba havotanao, fa masìna ireny; ny ràny dia hatopinao amin’ ny alitara, ary ny saborany hodoranao ho fofona, ho fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo, ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah.
18 And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
Dia ho anao ny henany, ho anao tahaka ny tratra ahevaheva sy tahaka ny soroka ankavanana.
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.”
Ny fanatitra rehetra izay alaina avy amin’ ny zava-masìna aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho an’ i Jehovah dia efa nomeko anao sy ny zanakao-lahy ary ny zanakao-vavy ho anjara mandrakizay; dia fanekena mandrakizay asian-tsira eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izany ho aminao sy ny taranakao koa.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Arona: Tsy mba hanana lova eo amin’ ny tany ianao sady tsy mba hanana anjara eo aminy; Izaho no anjaranao sy lovanao eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
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.
Ary, indro, ny taranak’ i Levy efa nomeko ny fahafolon-karena rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely ho fananany noho ny fanompoana izay ataony, dia ny fanompoana ny amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
22 No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
Ary tsy mahazo manakaiky ny trano-lay fihaonana intsony ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fandrao meloka izy ka maty.
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.
Fa ny Levita ihany no hanao ny fanompoana momba ny trano-lay fihaonana, ary izy no hitondra ny helony; ho lalàna mandrakizay amin’ ny taranakareo hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby izany, fa tsy hanan-tany ho lovany eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.
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.”
Fa ny fahafolon-karen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay ateriny ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah, dia efa nomeko ho an’ ny taranak’ i Levy ho fananany; izany no nilazako taminy hoe: Tsy hanana lova eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.
25 And the LORD instructed Moses,
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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.
Mitenena indray amin’ ny Levita hoe: Rehefa raisinareo amin’ ny zanak’ Isiraely ny fahafolon-karena, izay efa nomeko ho fanananareo avy aminy, dia hanalanareo ampahafolony kosa ho an’ i Jehovah izany.
27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
Ary ny fanatitra alainareo dia hisaina ho anareo toy ny vary avy eo am-pamoloana sy ny divay avy eo amin’ ny famiazana.
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.
Toy izany koa no hanateranareo fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah avy amin’ ny fahafolon-karenareo rehetra, izay horaisinareo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary avy amin’ izany no hanateranareo ho an’ i Jehovah, dia ho an’ i Arona mpisorona.
29 You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
Ary ny zavatra rehetra omena anareo no hanateranareo ny fanatitra rehetra izay alaina ho an’ i Jehovah, dia amin’ izay rehetra tsara indrindra avy aminy, dia izay zavatra masìna avy aminy.
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.
Dia lazao aminy hoe: Raha maka ny tsara indrindra avy aminy ianareo, dia hisaina ho an’ ny Levita toy ny vokatra avy eo am-pamoloana sy ny divay avy eo amin’ ny famiazana izany.
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.
Dia mahazo mihinana izany eo amin’ ny fitoerana rehetra ianareo sy ny ankohonanareo; fa karamanareo izany noho ny fanompoanareo ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
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.’”
Ary tsy hahazoanareo heloka ireny, raha maka ny tsara indrindra avy aminy ianareo; ary tsy holotoinareo ny zava-masìna aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia tsy ho faty ianareo.
