Numbers 18
1 And the Lord 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 sins of your priesthood.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Harun niya, “In gi yawuoti kod od wuonu nyaka ukaw tingʼ mag richo motimne kama ler mar lemo, kendo in-gi yawuoti kende ema nyaka ukaw tingʼ richo motimne jodolo.
2 And take with thee thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, and the sceptre of thy father, and let them be ready in hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons shall minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.
Kel jo-Lawi weteu koa e dhoutu mag anywola mondo oriwre kodi kendo gikonyu ka in kod yawuote tiyo e nyim Hema mar Sandug Rapar.
3 And the Levites shall watch to do thy commands, and about all the works of the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary nor the altar, lest both they die, and you also perish with them.
Nyaka giwinju kendo giti tije duto mag Hema, to kik gidhi machiegni gi gig kama ler mar lemo kata mag kendo mar misango, ka ok kamano to gin kod un duto ubiro tho.
4 But let them be with thee, and watch in the charge of the tabernacle, and in all the ceremonies thereof. A stranger shall not join himself with you.
Nyaka giriwre kodi kendo gikaw tich mar rito Hemb Romo kaachiel gi tije duto manie Hema, kendo onge ngʼat machielo moyiene biro machiegni gi kama intie.
5 Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel.
“Nyaka ikaw tich mar rito kama ler mar lemo kod kendo mar misango, mondo mi masira kik lwar kuom jo-Israel kendo.
6 I have given you your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, and have delivered them for a gift to the Lord, to serve in the ministries of the tabernacle.
An awuon aseyiero jo-Lawi weteni koa kuom jo-Israel kaka chiwo ne un, mowal ne Jehova Nyasaye mondo oti e Hemb Romo.
7 But thou and thy sons look ye to the priesthood: and all things that pertain to the service of the altar, and that are within the veil, shall be executed by the priests. If any stranger shall approach, he shall be slain.
To in kod yawuoti kende ema onego bed jodolo kaluwore gi gik moko duto manie kendo mar misango kod mago mantiere ei pasia. Amiyou tich mar bedo jodolo kaka chiwo. Ngʼato angʼata ma osudo machiegni gi kama ler mar lemo nyaka negi.”
8 And the Lord said to Aaron: Behold I have given thee the charge of my firstfruits. All things that are sanctified by the children of Israel, I have delivered to thee and to thy sons for the priestly office, by everlasting ordinances.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Harun niya, “An awuon aseketi jarit mar chiwo duto mokelna; chiwo maler duto ma jo-Israel omiya amiyi kod yawuoti kaka pok maru kendo mano ema unuyud pile.
9 These therefore shalt thou take of the things that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatsoever is rendered to me for sin and for trespass, and becometh holy of holies, shall be for thee and thy sons.
Nyaka ikaw thoth bath chiwo duto maler ma ok owangʼ e mach. Koa kuom mich duto ma gikelona kaka chiwo maler moloyo, bedni en chiwo mar cham, kata mar misango mar golo richo kata mar pwodhruok, pokno en mari kod yawuoti.
10 Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.
Chame kaka gima ler moloyo; chwo duto nochame. Nyaka ikawe kaka gima ler.
11 But the firstfruits, which the children of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, by a perpetual law. He that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.
“Gimoro amora mowal tenge koa e mich mag misango mifwayo mar jo-Israel bende nobed mari. Achiwo ma ne in kod yawuoti gi nyigi kaka pok maru mapile pile. Ngʼato angʼata mantiere e odi mopwodhore maler nyalo chame.
12 All the best of the oil, and of the wine, and of the corn, whatsoever firstfruits they offer to the Lord, I have given them to thee.
“Amiyou mo zeituni mayom duto kod divai manyien mayom duto kod cham ma gichiwone Jehova Nyasaye kaka olemo mokwongo mar keyo margi.
13 All the firstripe of the fruits, that the ground bringeth forth, and which are brought to the Lord, shall be for thy use: he that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.
Olembe mokwongo duto moa e puodho ma gikelone Jehova Nyasaye nobed mari. Ngʼato angʼata mantiere e odi mopwodhore maler nyalo chame.
14 Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.
“Gimoro amora mochiwne Jehova Nyasaye chuth nobed magu.
15 Whatsoever is firstborn of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beasts, shall belong to thee: only for the firstborn of man thou shalt take a price, and every beast that is unclean thou shalt cause to be redeemed,
Nyodo mokwongo mar ich, obed dhano kata chiayo, mochiwne Jehova Nyasaye en mari. To nyaka uwar wuowi makayo moro amora kod kayo madichwo moro amora mar jamni ma ok ler.
16 And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
Ka giromo dwe achiel, nyaka iwargi e nengo mar wero ma en shekel abich mar fedha, kaluwore gi shekel mar kama ler mar lemo, ma pekne romo gera piero ariyo.
17 But the firstling of a cow and of a sheep and of a goat thou shalt not cause to be redeemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. Their blood only thou shalt pour upon the altar, and their fat thou shalt burn for a most sweet odour to the Lord.
“To kik iwar kayo ma rwath, rombo kata diel; nikech giler. Kir rembgi e kendo mar misango kendo iwangʼ mo mawuok kuomgi kaka misango miwangʼo gi mach, ma en gima dungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar mamoro Jehova Nyasaye.
18 But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.
Ring jamnigo gin magu, mana kaka misango mifwayo mar agoko kod em korachwich bende maru.
19 All the firstfruits of the sanctuary which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to thee and to thy sons and daughters, by a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, to thee and to thy sons.
Gimoro amora mowal tenge koa kuom misengini maler ma jo-Israel ochiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye, amiyoi gi yawuoti kod nyigi kaka pok maru mapile. En singruok ma ok rum e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ne in kaachiel gi nyikwayi.”
20 And the Lord said to Aaron: You shall possess nothing in their land, neither shall you have a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Harun niya, “Ok iniyud girkeni mora amora e piny jogi, kata pok moro amora ok inibedgo e kindgi nimar an e pok maru kendo girkeni maru e kind jo-Israel.
21 And I have given to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel for a possession for the ministry wherewith they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant:
“Amiyo jo-Lawi achiel kuom apar duto mantiere e Israel kaka girkeni margi ka achulogigo kuom tich ma gitiyo e Hemb Romo.
22 That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,
Chakre kawuono jo-Israel ok onego dhi machiegni gi Hemb Romo, ka ok kamano to ibiro kumogi kuom richo mag-gi kendo gibiro tho.
23 But only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle, and bear the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall not possess any other thing,
En mana jo-Lawi ema oyienegi mar tiyo tij Hemb Romo kendo kaw tingʼ duto mag richo motimie Hemb Romo. Ma en chik mogik makende ne tiengʼ mabiro. Ok giniyud girkeni moro amora kuom jo-Israel.
24 But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.
Kata kamano, amiyo jo-Lawi kaka girkeni margi achiel kuom apar ma jo-Israel ochiwo kaka misango ne Jehova Nyasaye. Mano emomiyo ne awacho kama kuomgi: ‘Ok giniyud girkeni e dier jo-Israel.’”
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
26 Command the Levites, and declare unto them: When you shall receive of the children of Israel the tithes, which I have given you, offer the firstfruits of them to the Lord, that is to say, the tenth part of the tenth:
“Wuo gi jo-Lawi kendo iwachnegi kama: ‘Ka uyudo koa kuom jo-Israel achiel kuom apar ma amiyou kaka girkeni magu, to nyaka un bende ugol achiel kuom apar mar achiel kuom aparno kaka chiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
27 That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:
Chiwouno nokwan kaka cham moa kar dino kata kaka divai mimadho moa kar biyo divai.
28 And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.
E yo machalo kama ema un bende ubiro chiwoe chiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye koa kuom achiel kuom apar duto muyudo koa kuom jo-Israel. E achiel kuom apargo, nyaka ichiw pok mar Jehova Nyasaye ne Harun, jadolo.
29 All the things that you shall offer of the tithes, and shall separate for the gifts of the Lord, shall be the best and choicest things.
Nyaka ichiw pok mar Jehova Nyasaye gino maber kendo maler moloyo mar gik moko duto ma omiu.’
30 And thou shalt say to them: If you offer all the goodly and the better things of the tithes, it shall be reckoned to you as if you had given the firstfruits of the barnfloor and the winepress:
“Wachne jo-Lawi kama: ‘Ka ichiwo mano maber, to ibiro kwane ne in kaka gima oa e kar dino cham kata kar biyo divai.
31 And you shall eat them in all your places, both you and your families: because it is your reward for the ministry, wherewith you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.
Un kod jouteu duto unyalo chamo bathe moko kamoro amora, nimar en pok maru ne tich mutiyo e Hemb Romo.
32 And you shall not sin in this point, by reserving the choicest and fat things to yourselves, lest you profane the oblations of the children of Israel, and die.
Ka usegolone Jehova Nyasaye gik mabeyo moloyo kamano, to ok unubed joketho kuom wachno, kendo ok nobed ni udwanyo gik maler ma jo-Israel ochiwo kendo ok ubi tho.’”
