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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Arona: Hianao sy ny zanakao ary ny tarana-drainao no hitondra ny heloky ny fitoerana masìna; ary ianao sy ny zanakao koa no hitondra ny heloky ny fisoronanareo.
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.
Ary ny rahalahinao avy amin’ ny firenen’ i Levy izay firenen’ ny razanao koa dia ento miaraka aminao, mba hikambana aminao izy ka hanompo anao; fa ianao sy ny zanakao ho eo anoloan’ ny trano-lain’ ny Vavolombelona.
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.
Dia hitandrina ny anjara-raharahanao sy ny anjara-raharaha rehetra momba ny trano-lay izy; kanefa ny fanaky ny fitoerana masìna sy ny alitara dia tsy mba hakekeny, fandrao maty ireo sy ny tenanareo koa.
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.
Dia hikambana aminao izy ka hitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny trano-lay fihaonana, dia ny fanompoana rehetra momba ny trano-lay; ary tsy hisy olon-kafa hanakaiky anareo.
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.
Dia hotandremanareo ny anjara-raharaha momba ny fitoerana masìna sy ny anjara-raharaha momba ny alitara, mba tsy hisy fahatezerana hahazo ny Zanak’ Isiraely intsony.
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.
Ary, indro, Izaho efa naka ny Levita rahalahinareo avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; omena anareo izy ho fanomezana ho an’ i Jehovah mba hanao ny fanompoana momba ny trano-lay fihaonana.
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.'
Fa ianao sy ny zanakao kosa no hitandrina ny fisoronanareo ka hanompo ny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra momba ny alitara sy ny ao anatin’ ny efitra lamba, dia fanompoana omeko anareo ny fisoronana; ary ny olon-kafa izay manakaiky dia hatao maty.
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.
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Arona hoe: Indro, Izaho efa nampitandrina anao ny fanatitra ho Ahy, dia ny zava-masìna rehetra aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; efa nomeko ho anjaranao sy ny taranakao izany, ho anjara mandrakizay.
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.
Izao no ho anao amin’ ny zavatra masìna indrindra, avy amin’ ny fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo; ny fanatiny rehetra sy ny fanatiny noho ny ota rehetra ary ny fanati-panonerany rehetra, izay hanonerany ho Ahy; ho masìna indrindra ho anao sy ny taranakao izany.
10 In a most holy place shalt thou eat thereof; every male may eat thereof; it shall be holy unto thee.
Toy ny fihinananao ny zavatra masìna indrindra no hihinananao azy; ny lehilahy rehetra no mahazo mihinana azy: masìna ho anao izany.
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.
Ary izao koa no ho anao: ny zavatra omeny ho fanatitra, dia ny fanatitra ahevaheva rehetra aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; efa nomeko ho anao sy ny zanakao-lahy ary ny zanakao-vavy koa izany ho anjara mandrakizay; izay rehetra madio amin’ ny ankohonanao no mahazo mihinana izany.
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.
Izay rehetra tsara indrindra amin’ ny diloilo sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny vary, dia ny voaloham-bokatra aminy, izay ateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, dia efa nomeko anao.
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.
Ny voaloham-bokatra rehetra eo amin’ ny taniny, izay hateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, dia ho anao; izay rehetra madio amin’ ny ankohonanao no mahazo mihinana azy.
14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
Ny zavatra rehetra voatokana amin’ ny Isiraely dia ho anao.
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.
Ny voalohan-teraka rehetra, izay ateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, na olona, na biby, dia ho anao avokoa; kanefa tsy maintsy havotanao ny voalohan-teraky ny biby maloto dia havotanao koa.
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.
Ary ny amin’ ny fanavotana azy, dia izay efa iray volana no havotanao, araka izay ataonao tombany, dia sekely dimy, araka ny sekely masìna (gera roa-polo izany).
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.
Fa ny voalohan-teraky ny omby, na ny voalohan-teraky ny ondry, na ny voalohan-teraky ny osy kosa tsy mba havotanao, fa masìna ireny; ny ràny dia hatopinao amin’ ny alitara, ary ny saborany hodoranao ho fofona, ho fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo, ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah.
18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.
Dia ho anao ny henany, ho anao tahaka ny tratra ahevaheva sy tahaka ny soroka ankavanana.
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.'
Ny fanatitra rehetra izay alaina avy amin’ ny zava-masìna aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho an’ i Jehovah dia efa nomeko anao sy ny zanakao-lahy ary ny zanakao-vavy ho anjara mandrakizay; dia fanekena mandrakizay asian-tsira eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izany ho aminao sy ny taranakao koa.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Arona: Tsy mba hanana lova eo amin’ ny tany ianao sady tsy mba hanana anjara eo aminy; Izaho no anjaranao sy lovanao eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
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.
Ary, indro, ny taranak’ i Levy efa nomeko ny fahafolon-karena rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely ho fananany noho ny fanompoana izay ataony, dia ny fanompoana ny amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
22 And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
Ary tsy mahazo manakaiky ny trano-lay fihaonana intsony ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fandrao meloka izy ka maty.
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.
Fa ny Levita ihany no hanao ny fanompoana momba ny trano-lay fihaonana, ary izy no hitondra ny helony; ho lalàna mandrakizay amin’ ny taranakareo hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby izany, fa tsy hanan-tany ho lovany eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.
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.'
Fa ny fahafolon-karen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay ateriny ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah, dia efa nomeko ho an’ ny taranak’ i Levy ho fananany; izany no nilazako taminy hoe: Tsy hanana lova eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.
25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
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.
Mitenena indray amin’ ny Levita hoe: Rehefa raisinareo amin’ ny zanak’ Isiraely ny fahafolon-karena, izay efa nomeko ho fanananareo avy aminy, dia hanalanareo ampahafolony kosa ho an’ i Jehovah izany.
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.
Ary ny fanatitra alainareo dia hisaina ho anareo toy ny vary avy eo am-pamoloana sy ny divay avy eo amin’ ny famiazana.
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.
Toy izany koa no hanateranareo fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah avy amin’ ny fahafolon-karenareo rehetra, izay horaisinareo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary avy amin’ izany no hanateranareo ho an’ i Jehovah, dia ho an’ i Arona mpisorona.
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.
Ary ny zavatra rehetra omena anareo no hanateranareo ny fanatitra rehetra izay alaina ho an’ i Jehovah, dia amin’ izay rehetra tsara indrindra avy aminy, dia izay zavatra masìna avy aminy.
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.
Dia lazao aminy hoe: Raha maka ny tsara indrindra avy aminy ianareo, dia hisaina ho an’ ny Levita toy ny vokatra avy eo am-pamoloana sy ny divay avy eo amin’ ny famiazana izany.
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.
Dia mahazo mihinana izany eo amin’ ny fitoerana rehetra ianareo sy ny ankohonanareo; fa karamanareo izany noho ny fanompoanareo ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
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.'
Ary tsy hahazoanareo heloka ireny, raha maka ny tsara indrindra avy aminy ianareo; ary tsy holotoinareo ny zava-masìna aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia tsy ho faty ianareo.
