Numbers 18
1 The Lord told Aaron, “You and your sons and the other Levites bear the responsibility for sins relating to the sanctuary. You and your sons alone bear the responsibility for sins relating to your priesthood.
BAWIPA ni Aron koevah, nangmouh hoi na capanaw hoi nang koe kaawm e na pa imthungnaw ni, hmuen kathoung hoi kâkuen e payonpakainae yon teh na phu awh han. Hahoi nama hoi nang koe kaawm e na capanaw hoi vaihma lah na onae hoi kâkuen e payonpakainae yo hah na phu awh han.
2 Have your brothers from the tribe of Levi, your father's tribe, join you to help you and your sons with your service in the Tent of the Testimony.
Na pa miphun, Levih miphun na hmaunawnghanaw ni kapanuekkhaikung lukkareiim hmalah na capanaw koe ao navah, nang hoi thaw cungtalah rei a tawk thai nahan, nang koe na thokhai han.
3 They will take care of your responsibilities and those relating to the Tent, but they must not come too close to the sacred objects of the sanctuary or the altar, otherwise they will die, and you will too.
Na panki e thaw hoi lukkareiim thaw a panki e naw na kabawp han. Hatei, hmuen kathoung hlaamnaw hoi bawknae khoungroe hah hnai awh hanh naseh, telah nahoeh pawiteh, ahnimouh hai nangmouh hai na due awh han.
4 They are to help you and take care of the responsibilities of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent, but they are not allowed to be with you during your priestly ministry.
Ahnimouh ni na kabawp awh vaiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim thaw pueng hah a panki e patetlah lukkareiim thaw a tawk awh han. Hatei alawilae tami ni na hnai awh mahoeh.
5 You are to carry out the responsibilities relating to the sanctuary and the altar, so that my anger will not fall on the Israelites again.
Isarel catounnaw lathueng vah lungkhueknae ao hoeh nahanlah, nang nama ni hmuen kathoung thaw hoi khoungroe thaw hah na ham lah na la han.
6 Look, I myself have chosen your brothers the Levites from the Israelites as my gift to you, dedicated to the Lord to do the work that relates the Tent of Meeting.
Khenhaw! kai ni na hmaunawngha Levih taminaw hah Isarel catounnaw thung hoi ka la teh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe thaw tawk hanlah, nangmouh hanlah BAWIPA koehoi poe e nangmouh koe poe e doeh.
7 But only you and your sons are responsible for your priesthood, doing all that concerns the altar and is behind the veil. Only you are to perform that service. I am giving you the gift of your priesthood, but anyone else who approaches the sanctuary must be executed.”
Hatdawkvah, nang nama hoi na capanaw ni khoungroe hoi yaphni athung lae hnonaw pueng dawk vaihma na coungnae thaw heh poehno patetlah nang koe poe lah ao. Hatei, alawilae tami bawk pawiteh thei lah ao han.
8 The Lord told Aaron, “Listen, I have put you in charge of officiating at my offerings. All the holy contributions of the Israelites that they bring are reserved for you, and this is a permanent rule.
BAWIPA ni Aron a pato teh, khenhaw! kai kama roeroe ni kahek thuengnae koe Isarel catounnaw poehno kathoungnaw pueng hah, nang nama hoi na capanaw e ham lah a yungyoe hane phung lah na poe.
9 Part of the most holy offerings taken from the burnt offerings are yours. Part of all the offerings they give me as most holy offerings, whether it's grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.
Hmai sawi hoeh e pueng nang han hno kathoung poung lah ao han. A pasoung awh e pueng, tavai thuengnae, yon thuengnae, hoi kâtapoe thuengnae, kai koe na poe awh e hah, nang hoi na capanaw hanlah ka thoung poung lah ao han.
10 You shall eat it in a most holy place. Every male is allowed to eat it. You are to regard it as something holy.
Tongpa pueng ni hmuen kathoung poung koe na ca awh vaiteh, nangmouh hanlah ka thoung e lah ao han.
11 The following also belongs to you: the voluntary gifts as well as all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent rule. Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean is allowed to eat it.
Het hai na ham lah ao han, tavai thuengnae koe a poe awh e hno, Isarel catounnaw kahek thuengnae hnopoe pueng hah nang nama hoi na capa na canu naw hoi a yungyoe na ham lah na poe. Na im dawk tamikathoung kaawm e pueng ni a ca thai awh han.
12 I am giving you all the best olive oil and all the best new wine and grain that the Israelites give as firstfruits to the Lord.
Kahawipoung e satui hoi misur kahawipoung e hoi aluepaw BAWIPA hanlah a poe awh e hah na poe.
13 The firstfruits of all the crops they produce in their land that they bring to the Lord are yours. Everyone in your family who is ceremonially clean is allowed to eat them.
Ahnimae law dawk e aluepaw hmaloe ka hmin e BAWIPA hanlah a poe awh e hah nange lah ao han. Na im dawk tamikathoung kaawm e pueng ni a ca thai awh han.
14 Everything in Israel that is dedicated to the Lord is yours.
Isarelnaw ni poehno e pueng teh nange lah ao han.
15 Every firstborn, whether human or animal, that is offered to the Lord is yours. But you must buy back every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.
BAWIPA hanlah a poe awh e camoim ka paawng pasuek e pueng teh tami thoseh, saring thoseh nange lah ao han. Hatei camin teh na ratang roeroe han. Kathounghoehe saring camin hai na ratang han.
16 When they are one month old you shall pay the redemption price of five shekels of silver, (using the sanctuary shekel standard), equivalent to twenty gerahs.
Thapa yung touh e ratang hanlah kaawm e hah ratangnae phu na to vaiteh, hmuen kathoung koe hno e sekel panga touh hoi na ratang han (sekel teh gerah 20 touh doeh).
17 But you are not allowed to redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat because they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and burn their fat as a burnt offering accepted by the Lord.
Hatei maitotan camin hoi tu camin hoi hmae camin teh na ratang awh mahoeh. Hotnaw teh a thoung awh. A thipaling teh khoungroe dawk na kathek vaiteh, BAWIPA han hmuitui lah athaw hah hmai hoi hmaisawi thuengnae koe na sawi awh han.
18 Their meat is yours, in the same way that the breast and right thigh of the wave offering are yours.
Kahek thuengnae koe a takuep hoi aloung teh nange lah ao e patetlah a moi hah nange lah ao han.
19 I am giving all the voluntary gifts that the Israelites present to the Lord to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent rule. It is a permanent agreement of salt before the Lord for you and your descendants.”
Kathounge hno hoi kahek thuengnae koe Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA hanlah a poe awh e hah, a yungyoe na ham lah na poe. BAWIPA hmalah nang nama hoi na capanaw hoi na canu naw hoi yungyoe lawkkam lah ao han telah ati.
20 “You won't possess property in their country, and you won't have a share in their land. I am your share and your possession among the Israelites.
BAWIPA ni Aron koevah, a ram dawk na ham kawi banghai awm mahoeh, a thungup hai na ham kawi banghai awm mahoeh. Kai doeh Isarel catoun thung dawk na ham hoi na coe e râw lah ka o.
21 Instead I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel as compensation for the service they provide in doing the work in the Tent of Meeting.
Hahoi Levih catounnaw teh, khenhaw! thawtawknae koe a thaw tawk awh e lukkareiim koe thaw tawk phu lah Isarel ram e pung hra pung touh pueng teh na poe awh.
22 The Israelites are no longer allowed to approach the Tent of Meeting, or they will commit an offense and die.
Atu totouh hoi teh Isarel catounnaw ni, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim teh hnai awh roeroe hanh naseh. Telah hoehpawiteh, yonpennae phu hoi a due payon awh han doeh.
23 The Levites are to carry out the work in the Tent of Meeting, and they must take responsibility for any sins involved. This is a permanent rule for all future generations. The Levites won't receive a share of land among the Israelites.
Hatei, Levihnaw ni kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe thaw a tawk awh vaiteh, thaw abuemlahoi a la awh han. Hetnaw heh catounnaw ditouh phunglam lah ao han. Isarel catoun thung vah a ham kawi banghai awm mahoeh.
24 Instead I have given to the Levites as their compensation the tithe that the Israelites give to the Lord as a contribution. That's why I told them that they wouldn't receive a share of land among the Israelites.”
Isarel catounnaw ni pung hra pung touh BAWIPA hanlah kahek thuengnae a poe awh e hah Levihnaw hanlah râw lah ka poe toe. Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh koe Isarel catounnaw thung dawk râw a coe kawi banghai awm mahoeh telah yo ka ti pouh toung tayaw telah ati.
25 The Lord told Moses,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
26 “Talk to the Levites and explain to them, ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your compensation, you must return part of it as an offering to the Lord: a tithe of the tithe.
hothloilah Levihnaw hah pato nateh, ahnimouh koe na râw hanlah Isarel catounnaw pung hra touh dawk pung touh na poe e hah ahnimouh koehoi na hmu awh toteh, hote pung hra pung touh e thung hoi pung hra pung touh hah BAWIPA koe kahek thuengnae na poe awh han.
27 Your offering will be considered as if it were the firstfruits of grain from your threshing floor or grape juice from the winepress.
Hottelah nangmae kahek thuengnae teh cangkatinnae koe cakang aluepaw hoi misurtui ahruem patetlah pouk e lah ao han.
28 In this way you are to contribute an offering to the Lord from every tithe you receive from the Israelites, giving the Lord's offering to Aaron the priest.
Hottelah Isarel catounnaw koehoi pung hra pung touh na hmu awh e pueng BAWIPA hanelah kahek thuengnae koe pou na poe awh han. Hahoi BAWIPA hanelah kahek thuengnae hah Aron na poe awh han.
29 From all the gifts you receive you are to contribute as the Lord's offering the very best, the holiest part of every gift.’
Na hmu awh e pueng thung hoi, kahawipoung, kathoungpounge hah BAWIPA koe kahek thuengnae na poe awh han.
30 So tell the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be considered as your contribution produced by your threshing floor or winepress.
Hatdawkvah ahnimouh koe, hotnaw thung dawk hoi kahawi poung e na kahek awh toteh, Levihnaw a cangkatin e dawk hoi ka tâcawt e hoi misurtui ka lawng e patetlah pouk lah ao han.
31 You and your families may eat it anywhere because it's compensation for your service in the Tent of Meeting.
Nâ e hmuen pueng koehai koung na ca thai awh han. Nangmouh hoi na imthung ni hai, bangkongtetpawiteh, kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe e thaw tawk phu doeh
32 You will not be considered to have sinned if you have presented the best part of it. But if you treat the sacred offerings of the Israelites with disrespect you will die.’”
Kahawipoung e na kahek awh toteh, yonae yon phu lah awm mahoeh. Hatei, Isarel catounnaw poehno kathounge hah na kamhnawng awh mahoeh, telah hoehpawiteh, na due awh han tet pouh telah atipouh.
