< Numbers 18 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, You and your sons and your father's house shall bear the sins of the holy things, and you and your sons shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
BOEIPA loh Aaron te, “Namah neh na ca rhoek khaw, na taengkah na pa imkhui khaw rhokso kathaesainah te phuei uh, namah neh na taengkah na ca rhoek loh na khosoihbi dongkathaesainah te phuei uh.
2 And take to yourself your brethren the tribe of Levi, the family of your father, and let them be joined to you, and let them minister to you; and you and your sons with you [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness.
Namah manuca, na pa conghol Levi koca khaw, namah taengla lo. Nang taengah naep uh saeh lamtah namah neh namah taengkah na ca rhoek te olphong dap hmai la na om uh vaengah nang te m'bong uh saeh.
3 And they shall keep your charges, and the charges of the tabernacle; only they shall not approach the holy vessels and the altar, so both they and you shall not die.
Nang kah hutnah neh dap pum kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh saeh. Tedae hmuencim kah hnopai taeng neh hmueihtuk taengah mop uh boel saeh. Te daengah ni amih khaw nangmih taengah a duek uh pawt eh.
4 And they shall be joined to you, and shall keep the charges of the tabernacle of witness, in all the services of the tabernacle; and a stranger shall not approach to you.
Nang taengah naep uh saeh lamtah dap khuikah thohtatnah cungkuem dongah tingtunnah dap kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh saeh. Tedae kholong tah nangmih taengla ha mop uh boel saeh.
5 And you shall keep the charges of the holy things, and the charges of the altar, and [so] there shall not be anger amongst the children of Israel.
Hmuencim kah a kuek neh hmueihtuk kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh. Te daengah ni thinhulnah he Israel ca rhoek soah koep a om pawt eh.
6 And I have taken your brethren the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, a present given to the Lord, to minister in the services of the tabernacle of witness.
Kai loh na manuca Levi te Israel ca khui lamloh ka loh coeng ne. Tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah thothueng ham nangmih te kutdoe la BOEIPA taengah m'paek coeng.
7 And you and your sons after you shall keep up your priestly ministration, according to the whole manner of the altar, and that which is within the veil; and you shall minister in the services as the office of your priesthood; and the stranger that comes near shall die.
Tedae namah neh na taengkah na ca rhoek tah hmueihtuk kah olka boeih neh hniyan khui lamkah te nangmih kah khosoihbi la ngaithuen uh. Nangmih ham kutdoe la khosoihbi kam paek kah thohtatnah dongah thotat uh. Tedae kholong aka mop te tah duek saeh,” a ti nah.
8 And the Lord said to Aaron, And, behold, I have given you the charge of the first fruits of all things consecrated to me by the children of Israel; and I have given them to you as an honour, and to your sons after you for a perpetual ordinance.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Aaron taengah, “Kai loh ka khosaa hut he nang taengah kam paek coeng ne, Israel ca rhoek kah hnocim boeih khui lamloh nang taengah koelhnah la, na ca taengah kumhal kah maehvae la kam paek.
9 And let this be to you from all the holy things that are consecrated [to me, even] the burnt offerings, from all their gifts, and from all their sacrifices, and from every trespass-offering of theirs, and from all their sin-offerings, whatever things they give to me of all their holy things, they shall be your and your sons'.
Amih kah nawnnah boeih dongah hmai khui lamkah a cim, cim khaw nang ham om bitni. Amih kah khocang cungkuem lamkah neh a boirhaem cungkuem lamkah khaw, a hmaithennah cungkuem lakmah khaw, kai taengla a cim a cim ham mael uh te nang ham neh na ca rhoek ham ni.
10 In the most holy place shall you eat them; every male shall eat them, you and your sons: they shall be holy to you.
Te te a cim, cim la ca. Tongpa boeih loh te te ca saeh lamtah nang taengah a cim la om saeh.
11 And this shall be to you of the first fruits of their gifts, of all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; to you have I given them and to your sons and your daughters with you, a perpetual ordinance; every clean person in your house shall eat them.
He khaw nang ham ni. Israel ca rhoek te thueng hmueih cungkuem khui lamloh amih kah kutdoe khosaa hoep pah. Te te nang taeng neh na capa rhoek taengah khaw, namah taengkah na canu rhoek taengah khaw kumhal kah maehvae la kam paek coeng. Na imkhui kah aka cim boeih loh te te ca saeh.
12 Every first-offering of oil, and every first-offering of wine, their first fruits of corn, whatever they may give to the Lord, to you have I given them.
BOEIPA taengah situi tha boeih neh misur thai hangcil boeih, a thaihcuek cangpai a paek uh te nang taengah kam paek.
13 All the first fruits that are in their land, whatever they shall offer to the Lord, shall be your: every clean person in your house shall eat them.
BOEIPA taengla a khuen a khohmuen kah thaihcuek boeih te nang ham om bitni. Na imkhui kah aka cim boeih loh te te ca saeh.
14 Every devoted thing amongst the children of Israel shall be your.
Israel khuikah yaehtaboeih boeih he nang ham ni.
15 And every thing that opens the womb of all flesh, whatever they bring to the Lord, whether man or beast, shall be your: only the firstborn of men shall be surely redeemed, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean cattle.
Pumsa cungkuem bung lamkah cacuek boeih, hlang khaw, rhamsa khaw, BOEIPA ham a khuen uh te nang ham ni. Tedae hlang kah caming te tah lat rhoe lat lamtah, rhalawt rhamsa kah cacuek khaw lat kuekluek.
16 And the redemption of them [shall be] from a month old; their valuation of five shekels—it is twenty oboli according to the holy shekel.
A lat koi te hla khat a kuep ca vaengah namah loh a phu vanbangla cak shekel panga neh lat. Hmuencim kah shekel ah tah te te gerah kul lo.
17 But you shall not redeem the firstborn of calves and the firstborn of sheep and the firstborn of goats; they are holy: and you shall pour their blood upon the altar, and you shall offer the fat as a burnt offering for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
Vaito cacuek, tuca cacuek neh maae cacuek tah lat boeh. Te rhoek kah a thii cim te hmueihtuk dongah haeh lamtah a tha te BOEIPA taengah hmaihlutnah hmuehmuei botui la phum.
18 And the flesh shall be your, as also the breast of the wave-offering and as the right shoulder, it shall be your.
A saa te nang ham thueng hmueih kah a rhang banghui la om tih bantang laeng khaw nang ham ni.
19 Every special offering of the holy things, whatever the children of Israel shall specially offer to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters with you, a perpetual ordinance: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, for you and your seed after you.
BOEIPA taengah Israel ca rhoek kah a paek, a cim khosaa boeih te nang ham neh na capa rhoek ham khaw namah taengkah na canu rhoek ham khaw kumhal kah maehvae la kam paek coeng. Te te nang ham neh namah taengkah na tiingan ham khaw BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kumhal lungkaeh paipi la om,” a ti nah.
20 And the Lord said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion amongst them; for I [am] your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.
BOEIPA loh Aaron taengah, “Amih kah khohmuen neh m'phaeng pawt vetih nang ham khoyo amih lakli ah om mahpawh. Kai tah Israel ca khui ah nang kah khoyo neh nang kah rho la ka om.
21 And, behold, I have given to the sons of Levi every tithe in Israel for an inheritance for their services, whenever they perform ministry in the tabernacle of witness.
Israel kah parha pakhat boeih he Levi koca rhoek ham ka paek coeng ne. Tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah aka thotat amih ham a thothuengnah kah a yueng a tlang rho la ka paek.
22 And the children of Israel shall no more draw near to the tabernacle of witness to incur fatal guilt.
Tholhnah aka phuei ham rhung neh aka duek ham rhung tah, Israel ca rhoek loh tingtunnah dap la koep mop uh boel saeh.
23 And the Levite himself shall perform the service of the tabernacle of witness; and they shall bear their iniquities, it is a perpetual statute throughout their generations; and in the midst of the children of Israel they shall not receive an inheritance.
Tedae tingtunnah dap kah thothuengnah dongah he Levi amah mah thothueng saeh lamtah na cadilcahma kah kumhal khosing la te rhoek loh amamih kathaesainah te phuei uh saeh. Israel ca lakli ah rho phaeng uh boel saeh.
24 Because I have given as a distinct portion to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the children of Israel, whatever they shall offer to the Lord; therefore I said to them, In the midst of the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Israel ca rhoek kah parha pakhat, BOEIPA taengah khosaa la a pom te Levi taengah rho la ka paek. Te dongah ni amih te Israel ca lakli ah rho a phaeng pawt ham ka thui,” a ti nah.
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
26 You shall also speak to the Levites, and shall say to them, If you take the tithe from the children of Israel, which I have given you from them for an inheritance, then shall you separate from it a heave-offering to the Lord, a tenth of the tenth.
“Levi te voek lamtah amih te thui pah. Israel ca taeng lamkah parha pakhat te doe pah, te te amih taeng lamloh nangmih taengah namamih kah rho la kam paek. Te dongah parha pakhat khui lamkah parha pakhat te BOEIPA kah khosaa la tloeng uh.
27 And your heave-offerings shall be reckoned to you as corn from the floor, and an offering from the wine-press.
Nangmih kah khosaa te nangmih ham canghlom khui lamkah cangpai bangla, va-am lamkah thaihhmin bangla nawt saeh.
28 So shall you also separate them from all the offerings of the Lord out of all your tithes, whatever you shall receive from the children of Israel; and you shall give of them an offering to the Lord to Aaron the priest.
Nangmih khaw Israel ca rhoek taeng lamkah na dang na parha pakhat boeih lamkah te BOEIPA kah khosaa la tloeng uh. Te khui lamkah te BOEIPA kah khosaa la khosoih Aaron taengah pae uh.
29 Of all your gifts you shall offer an offering to the Lord, and of every first-fruit the consecrated part from it.
Nangmih kah kutdoe cungkuem khui lamkah khaw, a rhokso kah a tha cungkuem lamkah khaw BOEIPA kah khosaa la boeih tloeng uh.
30 And you shall say to them, When you shall offer the first fruits from it, then shall it be reckoned to the Levites as produce from the threshing floor, and as produce from the wine-press.
Te dongah amih te thui pah. Te lamkah a a kuel tha la na tloeng uh khaw Levi ham tah cangtilhmuen kah cangthaih neh va-am kah a thaih la a nawt bitni.
31 And you shall eat it in any place, you and your families; for this is your reward for your services in the tabernacle of witness.
Te te na hmuen takuem neh na imkhui ah ca uh. Te te tingtunnah dap ah nangmih kah thothuengnah a yueng a tlang la nangmih kah thapang ni.
32 And you shall not bear sin by reason of it, for you shall have offered an offering of first fruits from it, and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you die not.
Te khui lamkah a tha te na tloeng uh vaengah tholhnah la na phuei uh mahpawh. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek kah hmuencim te na poeih uh pawt daengah ni na duek uh pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
