Numbers 18
1 And the Lord said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's 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 also thy brethren, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined with thee, and minister unto thee; while thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tabernacle 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 tabernacle: only unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar shall they not come near, that they may not die, either they or you.
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 tabernacle of the congregation, respecting all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come 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 sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be not any more wrath 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 the midst of the children of Israel; unto you are they given as a gift for the Lord, to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 concerning every matter of the altar, and for that within the vail, where ye shall serve: as a service of gift do I give you your priesthood; and the stranger that cometh 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 give thee the charge of my heave-offerings; of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel, unto thee have I given them as an official portion, and to thy sons, as a fixed right 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 belong to thee of the most holy things, from the fire-[offerings]: every oblation of theirs, namely, every meat-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every, trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall, as most holy things, belong to thee and to 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 it: every male shall eat it; holy shall it be 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 shall be thine, as the heave-offering of their gift, of all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a fixed portion 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 oil, and all the best of wine, and of corn, the first-fruits thereof which they shall offer 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 fruit of whatsoever is in their land, which they may 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 Whatever openeth the womb of all flesh, which they bring unto the Lord, be it of men or of cattle, shall be thine: nevertheless thou shalt redeem the first-born of man, and the firstling of the unclean cattle 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 those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to the usual estimation of five shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which 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: their blood shalt thou sprinkle upon the altar, and their fat shalt thou burn as a fire-offering, for a sweet savor 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 their flesh shall be thine: as the breast that is waved and as the right shoulder shall it 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 set apart unto the Lord, I have given to thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a fixed portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord for thee and for 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, In their land shalt thou have no inheritance, and any portion shalt thou not have among them: I am thy portion and thy 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 to the children of Levi, behold, I have given every tithe in Israel, for an inheritance, in lieu of their service which they render, the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 the children of Israel shall not henceforth come nigh unto the tabernacle of the congregation, to bear sin, to die thereby.
Ary tsy mahazo manakaiky ny trano-lay fihaonana intsony ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fandrao meloka izy ka maty.
23 But they of the tribe of Levi themselves shall perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: a statute for ever shall it be throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel shall they not possess any 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 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering unto the Lord, have I given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore have I said unto them, Among the children of Israel shall they obtain 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 And unto the Levites shalt thou speak, and say unto them, When ye take from the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance: then shall ye separate therefrom a heave-offering of the Lord, the tenth part 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 your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, like 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 shall ye also offer a heave-offering unto the Lord from all your tithes, which ye may receive from the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the heave-offering of 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 From all your gifts shall ye set apart every heave-offering of the Lord, from every best part thereof, its hallowed portion therefrom.
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 And thou shalt say unto them, When ye have separated the best thereof from it: then shall [the remainder] be counted unto the Levites as the produce of the threshing-floor, and as the produce 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 lieu of your service at the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 not bear any sin by reason of it, when ye have separated its best part from it: and the holy things of the children of Israel shall ye not profane, lest ye die.
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.
