Numbers 18
1 And the LORD said unto Aaron: 'Thou and thy sons and thy fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
Angraeng mah Aaron khaeah, Hmuenciim ah sak ih na zae haih pongah loe, nangmah hoi na caanawk, nam pa ih imthung takohnawk mah na zok o tih; qaima toksakhaih pongah zaehaih na sak nahaeloe, nangmah hoi na caanawk mah zok o tih.
2 And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee, thou and thy sons with thee being before the tent of the testimony.
Nam pa acaeng, Levi acaengnawk thung ih nam nawkamyanawk to nangcae hoi nawnto toksak han kawk ah; toe nangmah hoi na caanawk loe hnukung kahni imthung ah tok na sah o tih.
3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent; only they shall not come nigh unto the holy furniture and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye.
Levi caanawk loe angmacae ih tok hoi kahni imthung ah sak han koi toknawk boih to sah o tih; toe hmaicam hoi hmuenciim ih laom sabaenawk taengah caeh o mak ai; caeh o nahaeloe, nihcae doeh, nangcae doeh na dueh o boih tih.
4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, whatsoever the service of the Tent may be; but a common man shall not draw nigh unto you.
Nihcae loe nangcae hoi nawnto toksah o ueloe, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im to khenzawn o tih; kahni imthung ah sak han koi toknawk boih to sah o tih; asaeng ai kalah kami loe na taengah anghnaih o han om ai.
5 And ye shall keep the charge of the holy things, and the charge of the altar, that there be wrath no more upon the children of Israel.
Israel kaminawk nuiah palungphuihaih phak let han ai ah, nangcae loe hmuenciim hoi hmaicam to khenzawn oh.
6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel; for you they are given as a gift unto the LORD, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
Khenah, Israel kaminawk salak hoiah nam nawkamya Levi kaminawk to ka qoih boeh, amkhuenghaih kahni im ah tok a sak o hanah, Angraeng khaeah paek ih angbawnhaih hmuen baktih toengah nangcae hanah paek boeh.
7 And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood in everything that pertaineth to the altar, and to that within the veil; and ye shall serve; I give you the priesthood as a service of gift; and the common man that draweth nigh shall be put to death.'
To pongah nangmah hoi na caanawk loe, hmaicam hoi kahni payanghaih thungah kaom, qaima ih toknawk boih to sah oh; nangcae khaeah qaima toksakhaih to tangqum ah kang paek boeh; kasaeng ai nang khaeah angzo kami loe paduek han oh, tiah a naa.
8 And the LORD spoke unto Aaron: 'And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of My heave-offerings; even of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel unto thee have I given them for a consecrated portion, and to thy sons, as a due for ever.
To pacoengah Angraeng mah Aaron khaeah, Khenah, Israel kaminawk mah kaciim ah kai khaeah paek o ih hmuennawk to nang han kang paek boih boeh; nangmah hoi na caanawk mah dungzan ah toep hanah taham ah kang paek boeh.
9 This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every guilt-offering of theirs, which they may render unto Me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
Hmai thungah pha ai, nihcae mah kai khaeah kaciim koek ah paek o ih hmuennawk boih, cang paekhaih, zae loisak han paek ih hmuennawk boih, sakpazaehaih loisak han paek ih hmuennawk boih loe, nangmah hoi na caanawk hanah kaciim koek ah om tih.
10 In a most holy place shalt thou eat thereof; every male may eat thereof; it shall be holy unto thee.
To hmuennawk to kaciim koek ahmuen ah caa ah; nangcae han ciimcai hmuen ah oh pongah, nongpa boih mah caak thaih.
11 And this is thine: the heave-offering of their gift, even all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever; every one that is clean in thy house may eat thereof.
To pacoengah Israel kaminawk mah paek ih hmuennawk hoi tangqum ah paek ih hmuennawk boih to, nangmah hoi na capa hoi na canunawk mah dungzan ah toep hanah atawk baktiah paek ih, nangcae ih qawk ah om tih; na imthung takoh ah kaom kaciim kaminawk mah to hmuennawk to caa o tih.
12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the corn, the first part of them which they give unto the LORD, to thee have I given them.
Nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah paek ih kathai tangsuek thingthai, kahoih koek situinawk, kahoih koek misurtuinawk hoi cang to, nangcae han kang paek boeh.
13 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house may eat thereof.
Nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah sin o ih, lawk thungah kathai tangsuek hmuennawk boih loe, nangcae ih hmuen ah om tih; na imthung takoh ah kaom ciimcai kaminawk mah to hmuennawk to caa o tih.
14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
Israel kaminawk mah angbawnhaih sak hanah Angraeng khaeah paek o ih hmuennawk boih loe nangcae ih hmuen ah om tih.
15 Every thing that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto the LORD, both of man and beast, shall be thine; howbeit the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
Tapen tangsuek capa maw, to tih ai boeh loe kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe pacah ih moi maw, Angraeng khaeah paek ih hmuennawk boih loe nangcae taham ah om tih; toe na calu hoi ciimcai ai tapen tangsuek moinawk loe nangmacae mah akrang oh.
16 And their redemption-money — from a month old shalt thou redeem them — shall be, according to thy valuation, five shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary — the same is twenty gerahs.
Akrang han koi caanawk loe khrah to akoep naah, akrang han atho khaeh ih baktih, hmuenciim ih shekel tahhaih baktih toengah, gerah pumphaeto hoi kangvan shekel pangato hoiah akrang oh.
17 But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt dash their blood against the altar, and shalt make their fat smoke for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Toe tapen tangsuek maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tapen tangsuek tuu tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tapen tangsuek maeh tae loe na krang o mak ai; to moinawk loe ciim o pongah, nihcae ih athii to hmaicam ah haeh ah, athawknawk loe Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih ah paek hanah, hmai hoi angbawnhaih to sah oh.
18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.
Angan, saoek hoi bantang bang ih palaeng loe nangcae taham ah om tih.
19 All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever; it is an everlasting covenant of salt before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.'
Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah paek ih kaciim hmuennawk boih loe, nangmah hoi na capanawk hoi na canunawk mah dungzan ah toep hanah, atawk baktiah kang paek boeh; hae loe nangmah hoi na caanawk han Angraeng hmaa ah paloi hoiah sak ih dungzan lokmaihaih ah om tih, tiah a naa.
20 And the LORD said unto Aaron: 'Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them; I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
Angraeng mah Aaron khaeah, Nang loe nihcae ih prae thungah, qawktoep han ih ahmuen, nihcae salakah na tawnh ih hmuen tidoeh om mak ai; kai loe Israel kaminawk salakah, nangcae taham ah ka oh moe, nangcae mah toep han koi qawk ah ka oh.
21 And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.
Khenah, Levi kaminawk loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah toksak o pongah, nihcae mah qawktoep hanah Israel kaminawk ih hmuen hato thungah maeto ka paek boeh.
22 And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
Vaihi hoi kamtong Israel kaminawk loe amkhuenghaih kahni im taengah anghnai o mak ai boeh; anghnai o nahaeloe angmacae zaehaih atho to zok o ueloe, dueh o moeng tih.
23 But the Levites alone shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Levi kaminawk khue mah ni amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ih tok to sah o tih, nihcae mah kamsoem ai hmuen to sah o nahaeloe, angmacae zaehaih atho to zok o tih; hae loe angzo han koi na caanawk khoek to dungzan ah pazui hanah paek ih daan lok ah oh; nihcae loe Israel kaminawk salakah toep han koi qawk tawn o mak ai.
24 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they set apart as a gift unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance; therefore I have said unto them: Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.'
Toe Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah paek o ih hato thungah maeto loe, Levinawk mah qawk ah toep o hanah ka paek boeh; to pongah ni nihcae khaeah, Israel kaminawk salakah qawktoep han tawn o mak ai, tiah ka thuih, tiah a naa.
25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
26 'Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them: When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall set apart of it a gift for the LORD, even a tithe of the tithe.
Levi kaminawk khaeah, Nangcae mah qawktoep han kang paek o ih Israel kaminawk khae ih hato thungah maeto na lak o naah, nangcae mah doeh hato thungah maeto Angraeng khaeah paek o patoeng hanah thui paeh.
27 And the gift which ye set apart shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the wine-press.
Nangcae mah hae tiah na paek o ih hmuennawk loe, cang atithaih ahmuen hoiah paek ih cang, misurtui pasawhhaih ahmuen hoiah paek ih misurtui baktiah poek pae tih.
28 Thus ye also shall set apart a gift unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give the gift which is set apart unto the LORD to Aaron the priest.
Nangcae mah doeh Israel kaminawk khae hoi na hak o ih hato thungah maeto to, Angraeng khaeah paek o toeng ah; to tiah Angraeng khaeah paek ih hmuen to qaima Aaron hanah paek oh.
29 Out of all that is given you ye shall set apart all of that which is due unto the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
Nangcae khaeah paek ih hmuennawk boih thungah, kahoih koek hoi kaciim koek hmuen to Angraeng han paek oh.
30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them: When ye set apart the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.
To pongah Levi kaminawk khaeah, Nangcae mah kahoih koek hmuen na paek o naah, na paek o ih hmuen to cang atithaih ahmuen, misurtui pasawhaih ahmuen hoi paek ih hmuen baktiah poek pae tih, tiah thui paeh.
31 And ye may eat it in every place, ye and your households; for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
Kamtlai to loe nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih mah kawbaktih ahmuen ah doeh na caak o thaih; to hmuen loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah toksakhaih atho ah paek ih tangqum ah om tih.
32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, seeing that ye have set apart from it the best thereof; and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.'
Kahoih koek hmuen na paek o pacoengah, kamtlai na caak o ih hmuen nuiah zaehaih om ai; Israel kaminawk mah paek ih kaciim hmuennawk to amhnong o sak hmah, to tih ai nahaeloe na dueh o moeng tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
