Numbers 18
1 And the Lord said to Aaron: “You, and your sons, and the house of your father with you, shall carry the iniquity of the Sanctuary. And you and your sons together shall bear the sins of 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 take to yourselves also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, and the scepter of your father, and may they be prepared, and may they minister to you. Then you and your sons shall minister in the tabernacle 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 the Levites shall stand watch by your precepts, and for all the works of the tabernacle; yet in such a manner that they shall not approach the vessels of the Sanctuary and of the altar, lest both they die, and you perish, at the same time.
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 But they may be with you, and they may watch over the care of the tabernacle and all its ceremonies. A foreigner shall not be mixed with 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 Watch over the care of the Sanctuary, and over the ministry of the altar, lest an indignation may rise over the sons of Israel.
“Konsa nou va fè tout devwa a sanktyè a ak devwa a lotèl la, pou pa toujou gen kòlè sou fis Israël yo.
6 I have given your brothers, the Levites, to you from the midst of the sons of Israel, and I have delivered them as a gift to the Lord, in order to serve in the ministries of his tabernacle.
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 as for you and your sons: guard the priesthood. For all that pertains to the service of the altar and of what is beyond the veil shall be exercised by the priests. If any outsider will approach, he shall be killed.”
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 And the Lord said to Aaron: “Behold, I have given you custody of my first-fruits. Everything that is sanctified by the sons of Israel I have delivered to you and your sons, for the office of the priesthood, by everlasting ordinances.
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 Therefore, you shall receive these, from the things that are sanctified and offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatever is repaid to me, on behalf of sin and also for offenses, and which becomes the Holy of holies, shall be for you and for 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 shall eat it in the Sanctuary. Only the males shall eat from it, because it has been consecrated for you.
Kòm don ki sen pase tout lòt yo, nou va manje l. Tout gason va manje li. Li va sen pou nou menm.
11 But the first-fruits, which the sons of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to you, and to your sons, as well as to your daughters, by a perpetual right. Whoever is clean in your house shall eat them.
“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 All the innermost of the oil, and of the wine, and of the grain, whatever first-fruits they offer to the Lord, I have given to you.
“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 All the first of the crops, which the soil produces and which are carried to the Lord, shall fall to your use. Whoever is clean in your house shall 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 All that the sons of Israel shall repay by vow shall be yours.
“Tout bagay ki konsakre an Israël va pou ou.
15 Whatever goes out first from the womb, of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether from men or from cattle, shall be your right; yet only in so far as, for the firstborn of man, you shall accept a price. And every animal that is unclean you shall cause to be redeemed.
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 And its redemption shall be, after one month, five shekels of silver, by the weight of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
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 the firstborn of a cow, or of a sheep, or of a goat, you shall not cause to be redeemed, because they have been sanctified to the Lord. Thus, their blood you shall pour out upon the altar, and their fat you shall burn as a most sweet odor 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 Yet truly, the flesh shall fall to your use, just as the consecrated breast and the right shoulder shall be yours.
Vyann pa yo va pou ou. Li va pou ou tankou pwatrin ak kwis nan yon ofrann balanse anlè.
19 All the first-fruits of the Sanctuary, which the sons of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons as well as to your daughters, as a perpetual right. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the Lord, for you and for your sons.”
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 And the Lord said to Aaron: “In their land, you shall possess nothing; neither shall you have a portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.
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 But I have given, to the sons of Levi, all the tithes of Israel as a possession, for the ministry by which they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant,
“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 so that the sons of Israel may no longer approach to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin.
Fis a Israël pa pou pwoche tant asanble a ankò; sinon, yo va pote peche e yo va mouri.
23 Only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle and may carry the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall possess nothing else;
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 being content with the oblation of tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.”
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 spoke to Moses, saying:
SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
26 “Instruct the Levites, and also declare to them: When you will receive, from the sons of Israel, the tithes, which I have given to you, offer their first-fruits to the Lord, that is, the tenth part of a tenth,
“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 so that it may be accounted to you as an oblation of the first-fruits, as much from the threshing floors as from the oil and wine presses.
Ofrann nou va konte pou nou kòm sila ki sòti nan voye anlè glasi a, oswa pwodwi ki nan basen diven an.
28 And offer the first-fruits of everything, from which you receive tithes, to the Lord, and give them 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 Everything which you shall offer from the tithes, and which you shall separate as gifts to the Lord, shall be the finest and most select.
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 And you shall say to them: ‘If you offer the noble and the better of the tithes, it shall be accounted to you as if you had given from the first-fruits of the threshing floor and of the oil and wine presses.’
“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 shall eat these in all your places, both you and your families, because it is your price for the ministry, by which you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.
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 And you shall not sin in this way: by reserving the excellent and fat things for yourselves, lest you pollute the oblations of the sons of Israel, and lest you 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.’”
