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.
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Aharone: Ihe naho o anadahi’oo miharo amo anjomban-droae’oo ro hivave o hakeo’ i efe-miavakey, le ihe rekets’ o anadahi’oo ro hivave o tahi’ i fisoroñañeio.
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.
Aa le endeso mb’ etoa ka o rahalahi’oo, i fifokoa’ i Leviy, i fifokoan-droae’oy, hireketse ama’o, hitoroñe azo, ihe naho o ana’oo, añatrefa’ i kibohom-pañinay.
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.
Hiatrak’ azo iereo vaho hañambeñe i kivoho iabiy, fe tsy harinea’ iareo o fana’ i efe-miavakeio naho i kitreliy tsy mone hivetrake, ie naho inahareo.
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.
Hampireketeñe ama’o iereo hamandroñe i kibohom-pamantañañey amy ze hene fitoloñañe amy kivohoy fe tsy hiharinea’ t’indaty tsotra.
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.
Le ho toloñe’ areo o raha miavakeo, hatrafe’ areo i kitreliy, tsy hifetsahan-kaviñerañe o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Le Izaho, toe Izaho ty nandrambe o nte-Levy rahalahi’ areoo boak’amo ana’ Israeleo, ie nengaeñe ho ravoravo am’ Iehovà ho anahareo, hanoe’e o fitoroñañe an-kibohom-pamantañañeo.
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.”
Le ihe naho o ana’o rekets’ ama’oo ro hañambeñe o fisoroña’ areoo amy ze hene mioza amy kitreliy, le ho toroñe’ areo ze ankalo’ i lamba fañefetsey ao. Atoloko azo ho fitoroñan-karavòañe i fisoroñañey, fe havetrake ze ondaty tsotra miharine eo.
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.
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Aharone: Izaho, toe Izaho ty nanolots’ azo o engan-kavoakoo, le navìko ho azo naho o ana’oo ho amy fañorizañey ze hene navi’ o ana’ Israeleo. Natoloko ami’ty fañorizañe naho amo o ana’oo ho fañè nainai’e.
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.
Ho azo amo raha miava-do’e navotsotse amy afoio; ze hene enga’ iareo: ze enga-mahakama iaby, ze soron-kakeo iaby; ze hene engan-dilatse mete ho banabanae’ iereo amako, ho miava-do’e ama’o naho amo ana’oo.
10 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
Ho kamae’ areo an-toetse miavake ao, ze lahilahy iaby ty hikama ama’e, fa navaheñe ho ama’o.
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.
Ho azo ty enga-kavoañe amo engae’ iareoo, naho ze enga ahelahela’ o ana’ Israeleo, le fa natoloko azo naho amo ana-dahi’oo naho amo anak’ ampela’o mindre ama’oo ho fañè nainai’e, ie mete kamae’ ze malio añ’ anjomba’o ao.
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.
Fa natoloko azo ze hene soa amo menakeo naho ze fonga soa amo divai-vaoo naho amy ampembay: ty loha-voñe engae’ iereo am’ Iehovà.
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.
Azo ze hene lengom-boa an-tane’e añe engae’ iereo am’ Iehovào, songa mete mikama ama’e ze malio añ’anjomba’o ao.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
Hene azo ze atokañe e Israele ao.
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.
Azo ka ze manoka-koviñe valoha’e, ze engaeñe am’ Iehovà, he ondaty ke hare; fe toe ho jebañeñe o tañoloñoloña’ ondatio, vaho havahañe ka ze valohan’ ana’ o biby tsy malioo.
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.
Le ty vilin’ ai’e, mifototse amy valòham-bola’ey ty ijebañañe aze; ze anjoanjoa’ o azey, sekele lime ty vili’e an-tsekelen-toe-miavake (gerà roapolo izay).
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.
Fe tsy havaha’ areo ze valohan’ anak’ añombe naho valohan’ anak’ añondry naho ty valohan’ anak’ ose, fa miavake. Hadasi’ areo añariari’ i kitreliy ty lio vaho hisoroña’o ty safo’e ho enga olorañe, hàñin-kanintsiñe am’ Iehovà.
18 And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
Le ho azo o hena’eo, ho azo hambañe amy tratran-kelahelay naho i tso’e havanay.
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.”
Ze enga avoañe amo raha miavake engae’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovào le fa natoloko azo naho amo ana-dahi’oo naho amo anak’ ampela’o mindre ama’oo ho fañè tsy modo, ho fañinan-tsira nainai’e ama’o naho amo tarira’oo añatrefa’ Iehovà.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Aharone: tsy hanan-dova an-tane’ iareo irehe, naho tsy hanañ’ anjara am’ iereo ao; Izaho ro anjara’o naho lova’o amo ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Naho o nte-Levio, toe nitolorako ze fonga fahafolo’ Israele ho fanañañe hasolo ty fitoroñañe itoroña’ iareo, ty fitoloñañe an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao.
22 No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
Tsy ho harinè’ o ana’ Israeleo ka i kibohom-pamantañañey henane zao tsy mone hivave hakeo vaho hivetrake.
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.
O nte-Levio avao ty hifanehak’ amo tolon-draha’ i kibohom-pamantañañeio, le ho vavè’ iereo o hakeo’eo; ho fañè nainai’e amo hene tarira’ areo mifandimbeo, f’ie tsy hanan-dova añivo o ana’ Israeleo,
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.”
amy te nitolorako ty fahafolo avì’ o ana’ Israeleo ho engan-kavoañe am’ Iehovà, ie ty lova natoloko amo nte-Levio, toe vinolako t’ie tsy hanan-dova amo ana’ Israeleo.
25 And the LORD instructed Moses,
Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty 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.
Saontsio amo nte-Levio ty hoe: Naho rambese’ areo amo ana’ Israeleo i fahafolo natoloko anahareo ho lova’areoy, le añengào enga-kavoañe am’ Iehovà ty fahafolo’ i fahafoloy.
27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
Le ho volilieñe ama’ areo hambañe amy t’ie i mahakama boak’ an-toe-pamofohañey; naho te boak’ ami’ty hapea’ i fipiritan-divaiy i enga havi’ areoy.
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.
Aa le havi’ areo ho am’ Iehovà ty enga-kavoañe boak’ amo fahafolo rambese’ areo amo ana’ Israeleo le i enga-kavoañe navike ho am’ Iehovày ty hatolo’ areo amy Aharone mpisoroñe.
29 You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
Amo hene enga atolotse ama’ areoo, le havi’ areo ze havìke am’ Iehovà; ze hene soa ama’e naho ty miavake ama’e.
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.
Aa le ano ty hoe: Naho avi’ areo ty soa ama’e, le ho volilieñe amo nte-Levio ho mahakama nasisa an-toe-pamofohañe ey naho ty fitomboa’ i fipiritan-divaiy.
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.
Azo’ areo kamaeñe ndra aia aia izay, inahareo naho o keleia’ areoo amy te tambe’ areo amy fitoloña’ areo amy kibohom-pamantañañeiy.
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.’”
Aa kanao avi’ areo ty soa ama’e le tsy hivavea’ areo hakeo, vaho ko leore’ areo o enga’ miava’ o ana’ Israeleoo tsy mone hivetrake.
