Numbers 18

1 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Arona, Mau, ma au tama, ma koutou ko te whare o tou papa e waha te kino o te wahi tapu: a ma koutou ko au tama e waha te kino o ta koutou mahi tohunga.

2 And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring near with thee, that they may unite with thee, and minister unto thee; but thou and thy sons with thee [shall serve] before the tent of the testimony.

A ko ou teina hoki, o te iwi o Riwai, o te iwi o tou papa, me whakatata tahi me koe, kia tapiritia ai ratou ki a koe, hei minita ki a koe: ko koutou tahi ia ko au tama hei te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga.

3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of the whole tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they may not die, and you as well as they.

A ma ratou tau mahi e tiaki, me te mahi tiaki o te tapenakara katoa: otiia kaua e whakatata ki nga oko o te wahi tapu, ki te aata ranei, kei mate ko ratou, ko koutou ranei.

4 And they shall unite with thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and no stranger shall come near to you.

A ka tapiritia ratou ki a koe, hei tiaki i nga mea o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, mo nga mahi katoa o te tapenakara: kaua hoki te tangata ke e tata ki a koutou.

5 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there come no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

Ma koutou hoki e tiaki nga mea o te wahi tapu, me nga mea o te aata; kei puta he riri ki nga tama a Iharaira a muri ake nei.

6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren, the Levites, from among the children of Israel; to you are they given as a gift for Jehovah to perform the service of the tent of meeting.

Me ahau hoki, nana, kua tango ahau i o koutou teina, i nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: he mea hoatu ki a koutou ma Ihowa, hei mahi i nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

7 But thou and thy sons with thee shall attend to your priesthood for all that concerneth the altar, and for that which is inside the veil; and ye shall perform the service: I give you your priesthood as a service of gift, and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

Ko koutou ia ko au tama, kia mau ki ta koutou mahi tohunga ki nga mea katoa o te aata, o roto atu ano hoki i te arai, hei mahi ma koutou: he mea hoatu noa atu ta koutou mahi tohunga e hoatu nei e ahau: a ka whakamatea te tangata ke e whakatata ma i ana.

8 And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; to thee have I given them, because of the anointing, and to thy sons by an everlasting statute.

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Arona, Na kua tukua atu nei e ahau ki a koe te tiaki o aku whakahere hapahapai, o nga mea tapu katoa a nga tama a Iharaira; he mea hoatu naku ki a koutou ko au tama, he whakaaro hoki ki te whakawahinga, he tikanga pumau.

9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every offering of theirs, of all their oblations, and of all their sin-offerings, and of all their trespass-offerings, which they render unto me, it is most holy for thee and for thy sons.

Ko nga mea tenei mau o nga mea tino tapu e kore nei e tukua ki te ahi: ko a ratou whakahere katoa, ko a ratou whakahere totokore katoa, me a ratou whakahere hara katoa, me a ratou whakahere katoa mo te he, e tapaea ki ahau; ka tino tapu ma koutou ko au tama.

10 As most holy shalt thou eat it: every male shall eat it; it shall be holy unto thee.

Hei te wahi tino tapu kai ai, ma nga tane katoa e kai: he tapu tena mau.

11 And this shall be thine: the heave-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by an everlasting statute; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

Mau ano tenei; ko nga whakahere hapahapai e homai ana e ratou me nga whakahere poipoi katoa a nga tama a Iharaira: kua hoatu aua mea e ahau ki a koe, ki a koutou ko au tama, ko au tamahine, he tikanga pumau: e kainga tena e nga mea pokekore kato a o tou whare.

12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they give to Jehovah, have I given thee.

Ko nga wahi papai katoa o te hinu, me nga wahi papai katoa o te waina, o te witi hoki, ko nga tuapora o aua mea e homai ana ki a Ihowa, kua hoatu ena e ahau ki a koe.

13 The first ripe of everything that is in their land, which they shall bring to Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

Mau nga hua mataati o nga mea katoa o te whenua, e kawea mai ana ki a Ihowa; me kai e nga mea pokekore katoa o tou whare.

14 Every devoted thing in Israel shall be thine.

Mau nga mea katoa i oti rawa i roto i a Iharaira.

15 Everything that breaketh open the womb of all flesh, which they present to Jehovah, of men or of beasts, shall be thine; nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou in any case ransom, and the firstborn of unclean beasts shalt thou ransom.

Ko nga mea katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu o nga kikokiko katoa, ko nga mea hoki e whakaherea ana ma Ihowa, o te tangata, o te kararehe, mau ena: otiia me tino whakahoki atu e koe ki te utu nga matamua a te tangata, me tango utu ano mo nga matamua a te kararehe poke.

16 And those that are to be ransomed from a month old shalt thou ransom, according to thy valuation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

A, ko nga mea e utua ana e whakahokia ana, ka kotahi marama o tona whanautanga, me tango ona utu; kia rite ki tau e whakarite ai, kia rima hekere nga moni: hei nga hekere wahi tapu, e rua tekau nei nga kera.

17 But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, thou shalt not ransom: they are holy. Thou shalt sprinkle their blood on the altar, and their fat shalt thou burn as an offering by fire for a sweet odour to Jehovah.

Ko te matamua ia a te kau, me te matamua a te hipi, me te matamua a te koati, kaua e whakahokia atu e koe; he tapu ena: me tauhi e koe o ratou toto ki te aata, me tahu ano o ratou ngako hei whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

18 And their flesh shall be thine; as the wave-breast and as the right shoulder shall it be thine.

A mau o ratou kikokiko, ka pera me te uma poipoi, me te huha matau, nau hoki ena.

19 All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Jehovah, have I given thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by an everlasting statute: it shall be an everlasting covenant of salt before Jehovah unto thee and thy seed with thee.

Ko nga whakahere hapahapai katoa o roto o nga mea tapu e tapaea ana e nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, kua hoatu e ahau ki a koutou ko au tama, ko au tamahine; hei tikanga pumau: hei kawenata tote i te aroaro o Ihowa ake ake, ki a koutou tahi ko ou uri.

20 And Jehovah said to Aaron, In their land thou shalt have no inheritance, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

A i korero a Ihowa ki a Arona, Kahore he kainga tupu mou i to ratou whenua, kahore ano hoki he wahi mou i roto i a ratou: ko ahau te wahi mou, tou kainga tupu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.

21 And to the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting.

Kua hoatu nei hoki e ahau ki nga tama a Riwai nga whakatekau katoa i roto i a Iharaira hei taonga tupu, hei utu mo ta ratou mahi e mahi ai ratou, mo te mahinga i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

22 Neither shall the children of Israel henceforth come near the tent of meeting, to bear sin and die.

Kaua ano hoki nga tama a Iharaira e whakatata a muri ake nei ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, kei whai hara, kei mate.

23 But the Levite, he shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations. And among the children of Israel shall they possess no inheritance;

Ma nga Riwaiti ia e mahi nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me waha ano hoki e ratou to ratou kino; hei tikanga pumau ia ma o koutou whakatupuranga, kia kahore he kainga tupu mo ratou i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.

24 for I have given for an inheritance to the Levites the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering to Jehovah; therefore I have said of them, They shall possess no inheritance among the children of Israel.

Ko nga whakatekau hoki a nga tama a Iharaira, e tapaea nei hei whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa, kua hoatu e ahau hei wahi tupu ki nga Riwaiti; koia ahau i mea ai ki a ratou, e kore ratou e whai kainga tupu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.

25 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

26 And to the Levites shalt thou speak, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer a heave-offering from it for Jehovah, the tenth of the tithe.

Korero ano ki nga Riwaiti, mea atu ki a ratou, Ka tangohia e koutou nga whakatekau a nga tama a Iharaira e hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou i roto i a ratou mea hei wahi tupu mo koutou, me tapae he whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa i roto i taua mea, h e wahi whakatekau o aua whakatekau.

27 And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, as the corn from the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

A ka kiia tenei whakahere hapahapai he mea na koutou, he pera me te witi o te patunga witi, me te purenatanga hoki o te poka waina.

28 Thus ye also shall offer Jehovah's heave-offering of all your tithes, which ye take of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof Jehovah's heave-offering to Aaron the priest.

Na me tapae ano hoki e koutou he whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa i roto i a koutou whakatekau katoa e tangohia ana e koutou i nga tama a Iharaira; me homai te whakahere hapahapai a Ihowa i roto i taua mea ki te tohunga, ki a Arona.

29 Out of all that is given you ye shall offer the whole heave-offering of Jehovah, — of all the best thereof the hallowed part thereof.

Me tapae nga whakahere hapahapai katoa ma Ihowa i roto i nga mea katoa e homai ana ki a koutou, i roto i nga mea papai katoa o ena, ara te wahi tapu o roto.

30 And thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as produce of the threshing-floor, and as produce of the winepress.

Me ki atu ki a ratou, Ka hapahapai koutou i te wahi tino pai o taua mea, me ki tena he mea na nga Riwaiti, he pera me te hua o te patunga witi, me te purenatanga hoki o te poka waina.

31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households; for it is your reward for your service in the tent of meeting.

A me kai tena e koutou ko o koutou whare ki nga wahi katoa: ko to koutou utu hoki ia mo ta koutou mahi i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, if ye heave from it the best of it; and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

A e kore e waha e koutou he hara i reira, ina hapahapainga tona wahi pai: kaua ano e whakapokea nga mea tapu a nga tama a Iharaira, kei mate koutou.
