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.
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Aharone: Ihe naho o anadahi’oo miharo amo anjomban-droae’oo ro hivave o hakeo’ i efe-miavakey, le ihe rekets’ o anadahi’oo ro hivave o tahi’ i fisoroñañeio.
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.
Aa le endeso mb’ etoa ka o rahalahi’oo, i fifokoa’ i Leviy, i fifokoan-droae’oy, hireketse ama’o, hitoroñe azo, ihe naho o ana’oo, añatrefa’ i kibohom-pañinay.
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.
Hiatrak’ azo iereo vaho hañambeñe i kivoho iabiy, fe tsy harinea’ iareo o fana’ i efe-miavakeio naho i kitreliy tsy mone hivetrake, ie naho inahareo.
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.
Hampireketeñe ama’o iereo hamandroñe i kibohom-pamantañañey amy ze hene fitoloñañe amy kivohoy fe tsy hiharinea’ t’indaty tsotra.
5 Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel.
Le ho toloñe’ areo o raha miavakeo, hatrafe’ areo i kitreliy, tsy hifetsahan-kaviñerañe o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Le Izaho, toe Izaho ty nandrambe o nte-Levy rahalahi’ areoo boak’amo ana’ Israeleo, ie nengaeñe ho ravoravo am’ Iehovà ho anahareo, hanoe’e o fitoroñañe an-kibohom-pamantañañeo.
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.
Le ihe naho o ana’o rekets’ ama’oo ro hañambeñe o fisoroña’ areoo amy ze hene mioza amy kitreliy, le ho toroñe’ areo ze ankalo’ i lamba fañefetsey ao. Atoloko azo ho fitoroñan-karavòañe i fisoroñañey, fe havetrake ze ondaty tsotra miharine eo.
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.
Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Aharone: Izaho, toe Izaho ty nanolots’ azo o engan-kavoakoo, le navìko ho azo naho o ana’oo ho amy fañorizañey ze hene navi’ o ana’ Israeleo. Natoloko ami’ty fañorizañe naho amo o ana’oo ho fañè nainai’e.
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.
Ho azo amo raha miava-do’e navotsotse amy afoio; ze hene enga’ iareo: ze enga-mahakama iaby, ze soron-kakeo iaby; ze hene engan-dilatse mete ho banabanae’ iereo amako, ho miava-do’e ama’o naho amo ana’oo.
10 Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.
Ho kamae’ areo an-toetse miavake ao, ze lahilahy iaby ty hikama ama’e, fa navaheñe ho ama’o.
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.
Ho azo ty enga-kavoañe amo engae’ iareoo, naho ze enga ahelahela’ o ana’ Israeleo, le fa natoloko azo naho amo ana-dahi’oo naho amo anak’ ampela’o mindre ama’oo ho fañè nainai’e, ie mete kamae’ ze malio añ’ anjomba’o ao.
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.
Fa natoloko azo ze hene soa amo menakeo naho ze fonga soa amo divai-vaoo naho amy ampembay: ty loha-voñe engae’ iereo am’ Iehovà.
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.
Azo ze hene lengom-boa an-tane’e añe engae’ iereo am’ Iehovào, songa mete mikama ama’e ze malio añ’anjomba’o ao.
14 Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.
Hene azo ze atokañe e Israele ao.
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,
Azo ka ze manoka-koviñe valoha’e, ze engaeñe am’ Iehovà, he ondaty ke hare; fe toe ho jebañeñe o tañoloñoloña’ ondatio, vaho havahañe ka ze valohan’ ana’ o biby tsy malioo.
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.
Le ty vilin’ ai’e, mifototse amy valòham-bola’ey ty ijebañañe aze; ze anjoanjoa’ o azey, sekele lime ty vili’e an-tsekelen-toe-miavake (gerà roapolo izay).
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.
Fe tsy havaha’ areo ze valohan’ anak’ añombe naho valohan’ anak’ añondry naho ty valohan’ anak’ ose, fa miavake. Hadasi’ areo añariari’ i kitreliy ty lio vaho hisoroña’o ty safo’e ho enga olorañe, hàñin-kanintsiñe am’ Iehovà.
18 But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.
Le ho azo o hena’eo, ho azo hambañe amy tratran-kelahelay naho i tso’e havanay.
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.
Ze enga avoañe amo raha miavake engae’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovào le fa natoloko azo naho amo ana-dahi’oo naho amo anak’ ampela’o mindre ama’oo ho fañè tsy modo, ho fañinan-tsira nainai’e ama’o naho amo tarira’oo añatrefa’ Iehovà.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Aharone: tsy hanan-dova an-tane’ iareo irehe, naho tsy hanañ’ anjara am’ iereo ao; Izaho ro anjara’o naho lova’o amo ana’ Israeleo.
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:
Naho o nte-Levio, toe nitolorako ze fonga fahafolo’ Israele ho fanañañe hasolo ty fitoroñañe itoroña’ iareo, ty fitoloñañe an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao.
22 That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,
Tsy ho harinè’ o ana’ Israeleo ka i kibohom-pamantañañey henane zao tsy mone hivave hakeo vaho hivetrake.
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,
O nte-Levio avao ty hifanehak’ amo tolon-draha’ i kibohom-pamantañañeio, le ho vavè’ iereo o hakeo’eo; ho fañè nainai’e amo hene tarira’ areo mifandimbeo, f’ie tsy hanan-dova añivo o ana’ Israeleo,
24 But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.
amy te nitolorako ty fahafolo avì’ o ana’ Israeleo ho engan-kavoañe am’ Iehovà, ie ty lova natoloko amo nte-Levio, toe vinolako t’ie tsy hanan-dova amo ana’ Israeleo.
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
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:
Saontsio amo nte-Levio ty hoe: Naho rambese’ areo amo ana’ Israeleo i fahafolo natoloko anahareo ho lova’areoy, le añengào enga-kavoañe am’ Iehovà ty fahafolo’ i fahafoloy.
27 That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:
Le ho volilieñe ama’ areo hambañe amy t’ie i mahakama boak’ an-toe-pamofohañey; naho te boak’ ami’ty hapea’ i fipiritan-divaiy i enga havi’ areoy.
28 And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.
Aa le havi’ areo ho am’ Iehovà ty enga-kavoañe boak’ amo fahafolo rambese’ areo amo ana’ Israeleo le i enga-kavoañe navike ho am’ Iehovày ty hatolo’ areo amy Aharone mpisoroñe.
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.
Amo hene enga atolotse ama’ areoo, le havi’ areo ze havìke am’ Iehovà; ze hene soa ama’e naho ty miavake ama’e.
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:
Aa le ano ty hoe: Naho avi’ areo ty soa ama’e, le ho volilieñe amo nte-Levio ho mahakama nasisa an-toe-pamofohañe ey naho ty fitomboa’ i fipiritan-divaiy.
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.
Azo’ areo kamaeñe ndra aia aia izay, inahareo naho o keleia’ areoo amy te tambe’ areo amy fitoloña’ areo amy kibohom-pamantañañeiy.
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.
Aa kanao avi’ areo ty soa ama’e le tsy hivavea’ areo hakeo, vaho ko leore’ areo o enga’ miava’ o ana’ Israeleoo tsy mone hivetrake.
