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.

Pakaiyin Aaron heng ah thu asei jin, nangma na hin nachapate ahin, na insung Levite chilhah hon na boncha uva Hou-in Theng sung’a boina le suhkhel jouse chung’a mo na poh diu ahi. Chuleh Thempu natoh na chung chnag’a mopoh na jouse vang nang leh na chapate chung’a bou chu ding ahi,” ati.

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.

“Na phung chanpi Levi chate ho chu nang leh na chapate toh Houbuh sung’a ki thokhom ding in, hin pui jin lang hung un, Kitepna Thingkong maija na toh diu kin hung tong pan tauvin,” ati.

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.

Ahin Levite vang chu houbuh maichama natong ache teng ule, amaho chu ching thei tah a aum uva na atoh’u a ngaije. Maicham mun theng lam ah thilkeo ho komma nailut lou ding ahi. Hiche ho chu atham khah tah uva ahile nangma na hin, na sopi ho abon na nathi soh hel diu ahi.

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.

Levite tia kiminsah jouse houbuh maicham semna natoh na jouse jao cheh diu ahi. Ahinlah midang vang nangma toh natong’a nakitho pi dinga pang thei lou ding ahi.

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.

Houbuh maicham kintheng sunga natong, akimang cha ding ho ahin nangman hiche thupeh jouse hi chingthei tah na jui leh Pathen lung hanna nangho Israelte chunga um kit talou ding ahi.

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.

Keima katah satah’a nangma Levite lah na natoh khompi ding Israelte ka lhen doh peh ding ahi. Amaho jouse chu nangma dia hung kipedoh diu Houbuh maicham kin theng na tong ding ahiuve.

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.'

Ahin lah nangma nahin na chate jouse vang hiche kin theng maicham thempu natoh kiti jouse nanghon na tahsa tah’a na bol diu ahiye. Chuleh maicham phol sunga thil kimsel la pondal nung lam’a umjouse jong jaona ahi.

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.

Pakai thupeh jouse hi Aaron henga sei peh in hiche kinthenga Israel miten ahin toh hou chu vetup dinga ki nganse na hitai. Nangma nahin na chate ahin kin thenga hung ki tohdoh jouse hiche maichamma hohi atonsot nadia mopohna ahitai.

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.

Nangma maicham kinthenga thupi pentah chu mopoh na nakipe ahitai meivam min ahal lhah lou beh ding, maicham athupi pentah hiche ho chu: lou ahin mim le changa maicham chonset jeh’a chule themmo na jeh’a maicham ho hi atheng chungnung maicham kiti ding hichu nangma ahin nachatea channa ding ahi.

10 In a most holy place shalt thou eat thereof; every male may eat thereof; it shall be holy unto thee.

Nangman hiche maicham chu na toh ding, atheng chungnung pentah maicham jong ahin Pasal jouse anah thei cheh u ahi. Chuleh nangman hiche maicham hi atheng chung nunga na gel ding ahi.

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.

Israel miten maicham kintheng ahung kitoh jouse ka masang’a pumgo thilto hung toh jouse aboncha a nangma’a hi ding ahin, hiche ho jouse aboncha nacha numei le pasal jouse nangho tonsot gouva dinga ka peh doh ahi tai. Nangma insung mite jouse koihi tah jong leh Pathen dantheng dungjuija kisutheng jouse hiche maicham kinthenga hung kitoh doh jouse’n aneh thei cheh ding ahi.

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.

Keiman nangma hi chavang lousoh jouse mipiten Pathen’na dia maicham ma ahin todoh jouse kapeh doh ahitai-Olive thao jouse chule lengpi tui athah chule louhing anche ga jouse chu ahi.

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.

Gamsunga louga ahung lhung masa jouse mipite ho jouse aboncha nangma ding ahin, nangma insunga aki sutheng jouse hiche maichamma hung kitoh doh jouse chu anehthei ding ahi.

14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

Israel gamsunga Pathen maicham tia hung kidoh doh jouse aboncha’a nangma nachan ding ahi.

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.

Minu akonna ahung pengdoh masa mihem makon hihen gancha konna hijong leh Pathenna dinga hung kipeh doh jouse chu nangma ading ahi. Ahinlah nangman nacha ahung pen masa khat pentah chu nahuh doh angaiyin chule gancha atheng louva peng jouse chu nasuh theng cheh angaiye.

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.

Amaho jouse chu suhtheng in lhakhat ahung lhing tengle, hiche ho suhthengna ding mun chu sum-eng peh nga tobang ahin shekel somni tobang ahi.

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.

Ahinlah nangman na huhdoh lou ding chu na suhtheng lou ding ho chu kelcha, kelngoi chule bongnou apeng masa pentah ho chu hiche gancha hochu Pakaiyin asuhtheng ahi tan, athisan hochu maicham thekhum inlang athao chu meiya halvam ma thilpeh giltah bang nga gim namtui tah’a Pathen’na ki tohdoh ding ahi.

18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.

Hiche gancha a saphe hohi nangma na chan ding ahi. A Op-phang aje tlam saphe ho chule ahung kidom sanga Pathen’a dinga hung kikat doh jouse jaona ahi.

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.'

Keiman nangma kapeh nahi hiche maicham atheng dinga Israel miten Pathen henga ahin toh doh ho hi. Hiche hohi nangma dinga na chate pasal ahin numei hon atonsot’a chan nei thei dinga hiche kitepna hi Pathen le nangma kikah’a ki timatna akeh thei lou beh ding ahiye. Hichu nangma ding ahin khonung’a na chilhah te jouse ading jong ahi.

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.

Chuin Pathen in Aaron chu ahoulimpi tan, Israel mipite jouse masanga thempua pang ho leiset anei thei lou dingu ahi. Mipi hotoh jong nei leh gou kikop thei lou ding ahiuve keiman nanei nagou chule ijakai pijia kahi.

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.

Nangma insung mite naphung chan khompi Levite chun houbuh maicham natoh ho jouse chu keima gam leiset anei khel uva Israel mipia konna gam leiset a konna hopsom kipe ding ahi.

22 And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.

Tu apat Israel chilhah hi jeng jong leh Levi phung chule thempu tilou koima chan houbuh kom aphal thei lou ding ahi tai. Amaho chun kinai tah’a jong ahin nai lut lou ding, ahin nailut tah uva ahileh thepmo chang ding’u chule thilo ding ahiuve.

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.

Levite chilhah hon bou houbuh muna na-atoh thei dingu, itih ham khatna boina aum leh amahon mopohna anei ding’u ahi. Hichu nangma dia a-itih a jui ding’a longlou ding dan kipe ahi.

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.'

Ajehchu keiman Israelte chu hopsom ka peh sah ding hichu amahon maicham thenga ahin peh dingu ahi. Hiche ho jouse hi Levite chanvou ding ahin ajeh chu Leviten gamtum achombeh a anei thei lou diu ahi.

25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

Pakaiyin Mose henga thu hichengse hi aseijin.

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.

Anoija thu kapeh hohi Levite seipeh in; Israel mipite hopsom todoh hochu keiman kana sei peh nanghon chan vou nasan ding uchu ahi. Hijeh’a chu Nanghon hiche alamdoh hou chu hopsom ma hopkhat apeh diu, Pakai, Pathen komma alhandoh diu, hichu maicham kintheng bol ah nangho a ding ahi.

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.

Pakai, Pathen in hiche maicham na hin tohdoh ho chu nangma lou gasoh nato bang uva asim ding, na changphol a kivolha masa pen ahi louleh na Lengpi tui lhohlhah masapen bang’a asan ding ahi.

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.

Nangman Israelte maicham theng ahin touchu hopsomma khat Pathen’a dia napeh ngai ding ahi. Hiche hi Pathnenna dinga chanvou thempu Aaron chu na peh ding ahi.

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.

Pathen in thilpeh na peh’u nanghon jong Pakai, Pathen chu apha pentah ahoi pentah peuvin, ati.

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.

Chule hiche thupeh najui ding akilom ho Levite seipeh tan nangman na maicham apha ahoi pentah ho na hin toh teng leh hiche ho chu nangma lousohga ahiloule nangma lengpi lei laiya bang tah anaki simpeh ding ahiye.

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.

Levite jouse nangma nahin na sopi na insung mijouse hiche na ankong hi hoi kom hijong leh naneh thei cheh diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pathen houbuh maicham na natoh jeh uva ahi.

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.'

Thempu hohi apha pentah ahoi pentah napeh leh Pathen na ding nga hopsom ma hung kitoh chu naneh chun themmo nachan lou ding ahi. Ahinlah nangma chingtheiyin Israel miten thil theng tah ahin todoh hou chu imacha theng lou tah in geldan imacha na geldah khah le na thi lo jeng thei ahiye.
