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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.
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 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.
“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 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.
“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 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.
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 Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.
“Tout bagay ki konsakre an Israël va pou ou.
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,
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 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.
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 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.
“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 But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.
Vyann pa yo va pou ou. Li va pou ou tankou pwatrin ak kwis nan yon ofrann balanse anlè.
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.
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: 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.
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 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:
“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 That the children of Israel may not approach any more 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 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,
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 But be content with the oblation or 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 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:
“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 That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:
Ofrann nou va konte pou nou kòm sila ki sòti nan voye anlè glasi a, oswa pwodwi ki nan basen diven an.
28 And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits 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 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.
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 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:
“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 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.
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 point, by reserving the choicest and fat things to yourselves, lest you profane the oblations of the children of Israel, and 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.’”
