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.
斯てヱホバ、アロンに告て言たまはく汝と汝の子等および汝の父祖の家の者は聖所に關れる罪をその身に擔當べしまた汝と汝の子等は汝らがその祭司の職について獲ところの罪をその身に擔當べし
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.
汝また汝の兄弟たるレビの支派の者すなはち汝の父祖の支派の者等をも率て汝に合せしめ汝に事しむべし但し汝と汝の子等は律法の幕屋の前に侍るべきなり
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.
彼らは汝の職守と聖所の職守とを守るべし只聖所の器具と壇とに近くべからず恐くは彼等も汝等も死るならん
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.
彼等は汝に合して集合の幕屋の職守を守り幕屋の諸の役事をなすべきなり外人は汝らに近づく可らず
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.
斯なんぢらは聖所の職守と祭壇の職守を守るべし然せばヱホバの震怒かさねてイスラエルの子孫に及ぶこと有じ
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.
視よ我なんぢらの兄弟たるレビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より取りヱホバのために之を賜物として汝らに賜ふて集會の幕屋の役事を爲しむ
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.”
汝と汝の子等は祭司の職を守りて祭壇の上と障蔽の幕の内の一切の事を執おこなひ斯ともに勤むべし我祭司の職の勤務と賜物として汝らに賜ふ外人の近く者は殺されん
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.
ヱホバ又アロンに言たまはく我イスラエルの子孫の諸の聖禮物の中我に擧祭とするところの者をもて汝に賜ひて得さす即ち我これを汝と汝の子等にあたへてその分となさしめ是を永く例となす
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.
斯のごとく至聖禮物の中火にて燒ざる者は汝に歸すべし即ちその我に献る諸の禮物素祭罪祭愆祭等みな至聖くして汝と汝らの子等に歸すべし
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.
至聖所にて汝これを食ふべし男子等はみなこれを食ふことを得是は汝に歸すべき聖物たるなり
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.
汝に歸すべき物は是なり即ちイスラエルの子孫の献る擧祭と搖祭の物我これを汝と汝の男子と女子に與へ是を永く例となす汝の家の者の中潔き者はみな之を食ふことを得るなり
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.
油の嘉者酒の嘉者穀物の嘉者など凡てヱホバに献るその初の物を我なんぢに與ふ
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.
最初に成る國の產物の中ヱホバに携へたる者は皆なんぢに歸すべし汝の家の者の中潔き者はみな之を食ふことを得るなり
14 Everything in Israel that is dedicated to the Lord is yours.
イスラエルの人の献納る物は皆汝に歸すべし
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.
凡そ血肉ある者の首出子にしてヱホバに献らるる者は人にもあれ畜にもあれ皆なんぢに歸すべし但し人の首出子は必ず贖ふべくまた汚れたる畜獣の首出子も贖ふべきなり
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.
之を贖ふにはその人の生れて一箇月に至れる後に汝その估價に依り聖所のシケルに循ひて銀五シケルに之を贖ふべし一シケルはすなはち二十ゲラなり
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.
然ど牛の首出子羊の首出子山羊の首出子は贖ふべからず是等は聖しその血を壇の上に灑ぎまたその脂を焚て火祭となしてヱホバに馨しき香をたてまつるべし
18 Their meat is yours, in the same way that the breast and right thigh of the wave offering are yours.
その肉は汝に歸すべし搖る胸と右の腿とおなじく是は汝に歸するなり
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.”
イスラエルの子孫がヱホバに献て擧祭とする所の聖物はみな我これを汝と汝の男子女子に與へこれを永く例となす是はヱホバの前において汝と汝の子孫に對する鹽の契約にして變らざる者なり
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.
ヱホバまたアロンに告たまはく汝はイスラエルの子孫の地の中に產業を有べからずまた彼等の中に何の分をも有べからず彼らの中において我は汝の分汝の產業たるなり
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.
またレビの子孫たる者には我イスラエルの中において物の十分の一を與へて之が產業となし其なすところの役事すなはち集會の幕屋の役事に報ゆ
22 The Israelites are no longer allowed to approach the Tent of Meeting, or they will commit an offense and die.
イスラエルの子孫はかさねて集會の幕屋に近づくべからず恐くは罪を負て死ん
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.
第レビ人集會の幕屋の役事をなすべしまた彼らはその罪な自己の身に負べし彼等はイスラエルの子孫の中に產業の地を有ざる事をもてその例となして汝らの世代の子孫の中に永く之を守るべきなり
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.”
イスラエルの子孫が十に一を取り擧祭としてヱホバに献るところの物を我レビ人に與へてその產業となさしむるが故に我かれらにつきて言り彼等はイスラエルの子孫の中に產業の地を得べからずと
25 The Lord told Moses,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
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.
汝かくレビ人に告て之に言べし我がイスラエルの子孫より取て汝等に與へて產業となさしむるその什一の物を汝ら之より受る時はその什一の物の十分の一を献てヱホバの擧祭となすべし
27 Your offering will be considered as if it were the firstfruits of grain from your threshing floor or grape juice from the winepress.
汝等の擧祭の物品は禾場よりたてまつる穀物の如く酒醡の内よりたてまつる酒のごとくに見做れん
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.
此のごとく汝等もまたイスラエルの子孫より受る一切の什一の物の中よりヱホバに擧祭を献げそのヱホバの擧祭を祭司アロンに與ふべし
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.’
汝らの受る一切の禮物の中より汝らはその嘉ところ即ちその聖き分を取てヱホバの擧祭を献べし
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.
汝かく彼等に言べし汝らその中より嘉ところを取て献るに於てはその殘餘の物は汝等レビ人におけること禾場より取る物のごとく酒醡より取る物のごとくならん
31 You and your families may eat it anywhere because it's compensation for your service in the Tent of Meeting.
汝等と汝らの眷屬何處にても之を食ふことを得べし是は汝らが集會の幕屋に於て爲す役事の報酬たればなり
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.’”
汝らその嘉ところを献るに於ては之がために罪を負こと有じ汝らはイスラエルの子孫の聖別て献る物を汚すべからず恐くは汝ら死ん
