Numbers 18
1 And the LORD said unto Aaron, You and your sons and your father's house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
耶和華對亞倫說：「你和你的兒子，並你本族的人，要一同擔當干犯聖所的罪孽。你和你的兒子也要一同擔當干犯祭司職任的罪孽。
2 And your brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring you with you, that they may be joined unto you, and minister unto you: but you and your sons with you shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
你要帶你弟兄利未人，就是你祖宗支派的人前來，使他們與你聯合，服事你，只是你和你的兒子，要一同在法櫃的帳幕前供職。
3 And they shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor all of you also, die.
他們要守所吩咐你的，並守全帳幕，只是不可挨近聖所的器具和壇，免得他們和你們都死亡。
4 And they shall be joined unto you, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
他們要與你聯合，也要看守會幕，辦理帳幕一切的事，只是外人不可挨近你們。
5 And all of you shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
你們要看守聖所和壇，免得忿怒再臨到以色列人。
6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
我已將你們的弟兄利未人從以色列人中揀選出來歸耶和華，是給你們為賞賜的，為要辦理會幕的事。
7 Therefore you and your sons with you shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and all of you shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that comes nigh shall be put to death.
你和你的兒子要為一切屬壇和幔子內的事一同守祭司的職任。你們要這樣供職；我將祭司的職任給你們當作賞賜事奉我。凡挨近的外人必被治死。」
8 And the LORD spoke unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given you the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, by an ordinance for ever.
耶和華曉諭亞倫說：「我已將歸我的舉祭，就是以色列人一切分別為聖的物，交給你經管；因你受過膏，把這些都賜給你和你的子孫，當作永得的分。
9 This shall be your of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every food offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
以色列人歸給我至聖的供物，就是一切的素祭、贖罪祭、贖愆祭，其中所有存留不經火的，都為至聖之物，要歸給你和你的子孫。
10 In the most holy place shall you eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto you.
你要拿這些當至聖物吃；凡男丁都可以吃。你當以此物為聖。
11 And this is yours; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in your house shall eat of it.
以色列人所獻的舉祭並搖祭都是你的；我已賜給你和你的兒女，當作永得的分；凡在你家中的潔淨人都可以吃。
12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the first-fruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given you.
凡油中、新酒中、五穀中至好的，就是以色列人所獻給耶和華初熟之物，我都賜給你。
13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be yours; every one that is clean in your house shall eat of it.
凡從他們地上所帶來給耶和華初熟之物也都要歸與你。你家中的潔淨人都可以吃。
14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be yours.
以色列中一切永獻的都必歸與你。
15 Every thing that opens the womb in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be yours: nevertheless the firstborn of man shall you surely redeem, and the first born of unclean beasts shall you redeem.
他們所有奉給耶和華的，連人帶牲畜，凡頭生的，都要歸給你；只是人頭生的，總要贖出來；不潔淨牲畜頭生的，也要贖出來。
16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shall you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
其中在一月之外所當贖的，要照你所估定的價，按聖所的平，用銀子五舍客勒贖出來（一舍客勒是二十季拉）。
17 But the first born of a cow, or the first born of a sheep, or the first born of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
只是頭生的牛，或是頭生的綿羊和山羊，必不可贖，都是聖的，要把牠的血灑在壇上，把牠的脂油焚燒，當作馨香的火祭獻給耶和華。
18 And the flesh of them shall be yours, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are yours.
牠的肉必歸你，像被搖的胸、被舉的右腿歸你一樣。
19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto you and to your seed with you.
凡以色列人所獻給耶和華聖物中的舉祭，我都賜給你和你的兒女，當作永得的分。這是給你和你的後裔、在耶和華面前作為永遠的鹽約。」
20 And the LORD spoke unto Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any part among them: I am your part and your inheritance among the children of Israel.
耶和華對亞倫說：「你在以色列人的境內不可有產業，在他們中間也不可有分。我就是你的分，是你的產業。」
21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
「凡以色列中出產的十分之一，我已賜給利未的子孫為業；因他們所辦的是會幕的事，所以賜給他們為酬他們的勞。
22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
從今以後，以色列人不可挨近會幕，免得他們擔罪而死。
23 But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
惟獨利未人要辦會幕的事，擔當罪孽；這要作你們世世代代永遠的定例。他們在以色列人中不可有產業；
24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
因為以色列人中出產的十分之一，就是獻給耶和華為舉祭的，我已賜給利未人為業。所以我對他們說：『在以色列人中不可有產業。』」
25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
耶和華吩咐摩西說：
26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When all of you take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then all of you shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
「你曉諭利未人說：你們從以色列人中所取的十分之一，就是我給你們為業的，要再從那十分之一中取十分之一作為舉祭獻給耶和華，
27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
這舉祭要算為你們場上的穀，又如滿酒醡的酒。
28 Thus all of you also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which all of you receive of the children of Israel; and all of you shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
這樣，你們從以色列人中所得的十分之一也要作舉祭獻給耶和華，從這十分之一中，將所獻給耶和華的舉祭歸給祭司亞倫。
29 Out of all your gifts all of you shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
奉給你們的一切禮物，要從其中將至好的，就是分別為聖的，獻給耶和華為舉祭。
30 Therefore you shall say unto them, When all of you have heaved 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 winepress.
所以你要對利未人說：你們從其中將至好的舉起，這就算為你們場上的糧，又如酒醡的酒。
31 And all of you shall eat it in every place, all of you and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
你們和你們家屬隨處可以吃；這原是你們的賞賜，是酬你們在會幕裏辦事的勞。
32 And all of you shall bear no sin by reason of it, when all of you have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall all of you pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest all of you die.
你們從其中將至好的舉起，就不致因這物擔罪。你們不可褻瀆以色列人的聖物，免得死亡。」
