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.
Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Ìwọ, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti ìdílé baba rẹ ni yóò ru gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí wọ́n ti dá fún ilé tí a yà sí mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, àti ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ nìkan ni yóò máa ru ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ iṣẹ́ àlùfáà yín.
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.
Kí o sì mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ará Lefi láti ẹ̀yà ìran rẹ láti dàpọ̀ mọ́ ìwọ láti ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ nígbà tí ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin bá ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ níwájú Àgọ́ ẹ̀rí.
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.
Àwọn ni ó yẹ láti dúró fún ọ àti láti ṣe gbogbo iṣẹ́ ti Àgọ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi tí a ti ṣe lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ tí a sì yà sí mímọ́ tàbí ibi pẹpẹ, tàbí gbogbo wọn àti ìwọ ló máa kú.
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.
Ó yẹ kí wọ́n darapọ̀ mọ́ ọ láti jẹ ìyà iṣẹ́ fún àìtọ́jú ibi ti àgọ́ ìpàdé àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní ibi àgọ́, àti wí pé kò sí àlejò tí ó le wá sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibi tí o wà.
5 Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel.
“Kí o sì mójútó iṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́ àti iṣẹ́ ibi pẹpẹ, kí ìbínú má ba wá sí orí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mọ́.
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.
Èmi fúnra mi ti yan àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tí í ṣe ọmọ Lefi kún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, wọn jẹ́ ẹ̀bùn fún ọ, èyí ni a fún Olúwa láti ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní àgọ́ ìpàdé.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ni yóò mójútó iṣẹ́ àlùfáà yín fún gbogbo ohun tó bá jẹ mọ́ ibi pẹpẹ àti ti ẹ̀yin aṣọ títa, ẹ ó sì máa ṣiṣẹ́ ibi pẹpẹ àti nínú aṣọ tí a ta. Mo fún ọ ní iṣẹ́ àlùfáà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn. Ṣùgbọ́n àlejò tí ó bá súnmọ́ tòsí ibi ìyàsímímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run ni a ó pa.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Èmi fúnra mi ti fi ọ́ ṣọ́ ìdí gbogbo ẹbọ tí a bá mú wá fún gbogbo ọrẹ mímọ́ tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bá fún mi, mo fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe.
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.
Ìwọ ni kí o ni ìpín ọrẹ mímọ́ jùlọ tí a mú kúrò ní ibi iná, nínú gbogbo ọrẹ tí wọ́n mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ mímọ́ jùlọ, yálà ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ, ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tàbí ẹbọ ẹ̀bi, ìpín wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ti ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ.
10 Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.
Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní ibi mímọ́ jùlọ, gbogbo ọkùnrin ni ó gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ́. Ó gbọdọ̀ kà á sí mímọ́.
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.
“Èyí tún jẹ́ tìrẹ pẹ̀lú: ohunkóhun tí a bá yà sọ́tọ̀ lára ẹ̀bùn ọrẹ fífì àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Mó fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín tí yóò máa ṣe déédé nínú ìdílé rẹ, tí o bá wà ní mímọ́ ni o le jẹ ẹ́.
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.
“Mo fún ọ ní gbogbo òróró tí ó dára jùlọ àti gbogbo ọtí tuntun dáradára jùlọ àti ọkà tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa ní àkọ́so ohun ọ̀gbìn wọn tí wọ́n kórè.
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.
Gbogbo àkọ́so nǹkan ilẹ̀ wọ́n tí wọn mú wá fún Olúwa yóò jẹ́ tìrẹ. Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú ìdílé rẹ, àwọn tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ nínú ìdílé rẹ lè jẹ ẹ́.
14 Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.
“Gbogbo nǹkan tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa ní Israẹli jẹ́ tìrẹ.
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,
Gbogbo àkọ́bí nínú gbogbo ohun alààyè tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa, ìbá à jẹ́ ti ènìyàn tàbí ti ẹranko jẹ́ tìrẹ ṣùgbọ́n o gbọdọ̀ ra gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin padà àti àkọ́bí àwọn ẹranko aláìmọ́.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá pé oṣù kan, o gbọdọ̀ rà wọ́n padà ní iye owó ìràpadà tí í ṣe ṣékélì márùn-ún fàdákà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ṣékélì ibi mímọ́ tí ó wọn ìwọ̀n ogún 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.
“Ṣùgbọ́n o kò gbọdọ̀ ra àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ màlúù, àgùntàn tàbí ewúrẹ́; wọ́n jẹ́ mímọ́. Wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn sórí pẹpẹ kí o sì sun ọ̀rá rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ àfinásun, ẹbọ òórùn dídùn sí Olúwa.
18 But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.
Ẹran wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ tìrẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí igẹ̀ ọrẹ ẹbọ fífì àti itan ọ̀tún ṣe jẹ́ tìrẹ.
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.
Ohunkóhun tí a bá ti yà sọ́tọ̀ nínú ọrẹ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa ni mo fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe déédé. Ó jẹ́ májẹ̀mú iyọ̀ láéláé níwájú Olúwa fún ìwọ àti ọmọ rẹ.”
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.
Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “O kò ní ní ogún nínú ilẹ̀ wọn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò ní ní ìpín láàrín wọn; Èmi ni ìpín àti ogún rẹ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
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:
“Mó ti fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní gbogbo ìdámẹ́wàá ní Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún fún iṣẹ́ tí wọ́n ṣe, nígbà tí wọ́n ń ṣiṣẹ́ níbi àgọ́ ìpàdé.
22 That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,
Láti ìsinsin yìí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ àgọ́ ìpàdé, bí wọ́n bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, wọn yóò jẹ ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, wọn á sì kú.
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,
Àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní ó gbọdọ̀ ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó wà nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé, wọn yóò sì jìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn bí wọ́n bá kúrò láti ṣe é. Èyí ni ìlànà láéláé fún àwọn ìran tí ó ń bọ̀. Wọn kò nígbà ogún kankan láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
24 But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.
Kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, mo fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún wọn, ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́wàá tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pèsè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ sí Olúwa. Èyí ni mo wí nípa wọn. Wọn kò ní gba ogún kankan láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
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:
“Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi kí o sì wí fún wọn pé: ‘Nígbà tí ìdámẹ́wàá bá ń wọlé láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún rẹ. O gbọdọ̀ mú ìdámẹ́wàá lára rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ Olúwa.
27 That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:
A ó ka ọrẹ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkà irúgbìn láti ilẹ̀ ìpakà tàbí wáìnì láti fún wa.
28 And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.
Báyìí ni ìwọ gan an náà yóò mú ọrẹ wa fún Olúwa láti ara ìdámẹ́wàá tí ìwọ gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Láti ara ìdámẹ́wàá ó gbọdọ̀ mú ọrẹ Olúwa fún Aaroni àlùfáà.
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.
Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín Olúwa èyí tí ó dára jùlọ àti tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ jùlọ lára gbogbo nǹkan tí wọ́n mú wá fún ọ.’
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:
“Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ pé, ‘Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá mú ìpín tí ó dára jù wá, a ó kà á sí fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkórè láti ilẹ̀ ìpakà tàbí ìfúntí yín.
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.
Ìwọ àti àwọn ìdílé rẹ̀ le jẹ èyí tí ó kù ní ibikíbi gbogbo. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ ọrẹ fún iṣẹ́ rẹ níbi àgọ́ ìpàdé.
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.
Nípa ṣíṣe ìgbékalẹ̀ ìpín tí ó dára jùlọ o kò ní jẹ̀bi lórí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ìwọ kò sì ní ba ọrẹ mímọ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jẹ́, ìwọ kì yóò sì kú.’”
