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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
“Konsa nou va fè tout devwa a sanktyè a ak devwa a lotèl la, pou pa toujou gen kòlè sou fis Israël yo.
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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 You shall eat it in a most holy place. Every male is allowed to eat it. You are to regard it as something holy.
Kòm don ki sen pase tout lòt yo, nou va manje l. Tout gason va manje li. Li va sen pou nou menm.
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.
“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 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.
“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 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.
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 Everything in Israel that is dedicated to the Lord is yours.
“Tout bagay ki konsakre an Israël va pou ou.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 Their meat is yours, in the same way that the breast and right thigh of the wave offering are yours.
Vyann pa yo va pou ou. Li va pou ou tankou pwatrin ak kwis nan yon ofrann balanse anlè.
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.”
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 “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.
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 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.
“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 The Israelites are no longer allowed to approach the Tent of Meeting, or they will commit an offense and die.
Fis a Israël pa pou pwoche tant asanble a ankò; sinon, yo va pote peche e yo va mouri.
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.
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 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.”
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 The Lord told Moses,
SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse. Li te di:
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.
“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 Your offering will be considered as if it were the firstfruits of grain from your threshing floor or grape juice from the winepress.
Ofrann nou va konte pou nou kòm sila ki sòti nan voye anlè glasi a, oswa pwodwi ki nan basen diven an.
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.
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 From all the gifts you receive you are to contribute as the Lord's offering the very best, the holiest part of every gift.’
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 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.
“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 You and your families may eat it anywhere because it's compensation for your service in the Tent of Meeting.
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 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.’”
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.’”
