< Numbers 18 >
1 And YHWH says to Aaron, “You, and your sons, and the house of your father with you, bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you bear the iniquity of your priesthood;
Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Ìwọ, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti ìdílé baba rẹ ni yóò ru gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí wọ́n ti dá fún ilé tí a yà sí mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, àti ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ nìkan ni yóò máa ru ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ iṣẹ́ àlùfáà yín.
2 and also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, and they are joined to you, and serve you, even you and your sons with you, before the Tent of the Testimony.
Kí o sì mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ará Lefi láti ẹ̀yà ìran rẹ láti dàpọ̀ mọ́ ìwọ láti ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ nígbà tí ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin bá ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ níwájú Àgọ́ ẹ̀rí.
3 And they have kept your charge, and the charge of all the tent; only, they do not come near to the vessels of the holy place and to the altar, and they do not die, either they or you;
Àwọn ni ó yẹ láti dúró fún ọ àti láti ṣe gbogbo iṣẹ́ ti Àgọ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi tí a ti ṣe lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ tí a sì yà sí mímọ́ tàbí ibi pẹpẹ, tàbí gbogbo wọn àti ìwọ ló máa kú.
4 and they have been joined to you and have kept the charge of the Tent of Meeting for all the service of the tent; and a stranger does not come near to you;
Ó yẹ kí wọ́n darapọ̀ mọ́ ọ láti jẹ ìyà iṣẹ́ fún àìtọ́jú ibi ti àgọ́ ìpàdé àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní ibi àgọ́, àti wí pé kò sí àlejò tí ó le wá sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibi tí o wà.
5 and you have kept the charge of the holy place and the charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the sons of Israel.
“Kí o sì mójútó iṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́ àti iṣẹ́ ibi pẹpẹ, kí ìbínú má ba wá sí orí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mọ́.
6 And I, behold, have taken your brothers the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; they are a gift given to you by YHWH to do the service of the Tent of Meeting;
Èmi fúnra mi ti yan àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tí í ṣe ọmọ Lefi kún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, wọn jẹ́ ẹ̀bùn fún ọ, èyí ni a fún Olúwa láti ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní àgọ́ ìpàdé.
7 and you and your sons with you keep your priesthood for everything of the altar and within the veil, and you have served; I make your priesthood a gift [for] service; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ni yóò mójútó iṣẹ́ àlùfáà yín fún gbogbo ohun tó bá jẹ mọ́ ibi pẹpẹ àti ti ẹ̀yin aṣọ títa, ẹ ó sì máa ṣiṣẹ́ ibi pẹpẹ àti nínú aṣọ tí a ta. Mo fún ọ ní iṣẹ́ àlùfáà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn. Ṣùgbọ́n àlejò tí ó bá súnmọ́ tòsí ibi ìyàsímímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run ni a ó pa.”
8 And YHWH speaks to Aaron: “And I, behold, have given to you the charge of My raised-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel—I have given them to you and to your sons for the anointing, by a continuous statute.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Èmi fúnra mi ti fi ọ́ ṣọ́ ìdí gbogbo ẹbọ tí a bá mú wá fún gbogbo ọrẹ mímọ́ tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bá fún mi, mo fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe.
9 This is yours from the most holy things, from the fire: all their offering, of all their present, and of all their sin-offering, and of all their guilt-offering, which they give back to Me, is most holy to you and to your sons;
Ìwọ ni kí o ni ìpín ọrẹ mímọ́ jùlọ tí a mú kúrò ní ibi iná, nínú gbogbo ọrẹ tí wọ́n mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ mímọ́ jùlọ, yálà ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ, ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tàbí ẹbọ ẹ̀bi, ìpín wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ti ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ.
10 you eat it among the most holy things; every male eats it; it is holy to you.
Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní ibi mímọ́ jùlọ, gbogbo ọkùnrin ni ó gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ́. Ó gbọdọ̀ kà á sí mímọ́.
11 And this [is] yours: the raised-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel; I have given them to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a continuous statute; every clean one in your house eats it;
“Èyí tún jẹ́ tìrẹ pẹ̀lú: ohunkóhun tí a bá yà sọ́tọ̀ lára ẹ̀bùn ọrẹ fífì àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Mó fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín tí yóò máa ṣe déédé nínú ìdílé rẹ, tí o bá wà ní mímọ́ ni o le jẹ ẹ́.
12 all the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and wheat—their first-[fruits] which they give to YHWH—I have given them to you.
“Mo fún ọ ní gbogbo òróró tí ó dára jùlọ àti gbogbo ọtí tuntun dáradára jùlọ àti ọkà tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa ní àkọ́so ohun ọ̀gbìn wọn tí wọ́n kórè.
13 The first-fruits of all that [is] in their land, which they bring to YHWH, are yours; every clean one in your house eats it;
Gbogbo àkọ́so nǹkan ilẹ̀ wọ́n tí wọn mú wá fún Olúwa yóò jẹ́ tìrẹ. Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú ìdílé rẹ, àwọn tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ nínú ìdílé rẹ lè jẹ ẹ́.
14 every devoted thing in Israel is yours;
“Gbogbo nǹkan tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa ní Israẹli jẹ́ tìrẹ.
15 everyone opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to YHWH, among man and among beast, is yours; only, you certainly ransom the firstborn of man, and you ransom the firstling of the unclean beast.
Gbogbo àkọ́bí nínú gbogbo ohun alààyè tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa, ìbá à jẹ́ ti ènìyàn tàbí ti ẹranko jẹ́ tìrẹ ṣùgbọ́n o gbọdọ̀ ra gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin padà àti àkọ́bí àwọn ẹranko aláìmọ́.
16 And their ransomed ones from a son of a month, you ransom with your valuation [for] five shekels of silver, by the shekel of the holy place; it [is] twenty gerahs.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá pé oṣù kan, o gbọdọ̀ rà wọ́n padà ní iye owó ìràpadà tí í ṣe ṣékélì márùn-ún fàdákà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ṣékélì ibi mímọ́ tí ó wọn ìwọ̀n ogún gera.
17 Only, the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you do not ransom, they [are] holy: you sprinkle their blood on the altar, and you make incense of their fat [as] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;
“Ṣùgbọ́n o kò gbọdọ̀ ra àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ màlúù, àgùntàn tàbí ewúrẹ́; wọ́n jẹ́ mímọ́. Wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn sórí pẹpẹ kí o sì sun ọ̀rá rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ àfinásun, ẹbọ òórùn dídùn sí Olúwa.
18 and their flesh is yours, as the breast of the wave-offering and as the right leg are yours.
Ẹran wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ tìrẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí igẹ̀ ọrẹ ẹbọ fífì àti itan ọ̀tún ṣe jẹ́ tìrẹ.
19 All the raised-offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel lift up to YHWH, I have given to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a continuous statute—a covenant of salt; it [is] continuous before YHWH to you and to your seed with you.”
Ohunkóhun tí a bá ti yà sọ́tọ̀ nínú ọrẹ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa ni mo fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe déédé. Ó jẹ́ májẹ̀mú iyọ̀ láéláé níwájú Olúwa fún ìwọ àti ọmọ rẹ.”
20 And YHWH says to Aaron, “You do not inherit in their land, and you do not have a portion in their midst: I [am] your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel;
Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “O kò ní ní ogún nínú ilẹ̀ wọn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò ní ní ìpín láàrín wọn; Èmi ni ìpín àti ogún rẹ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
21 and to the sons of Levi, behold, have given all the tenth in Israel for inheritance in exchange for their service which they are serving—the service of the Tent of Meeting.
“Mó ti fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní gbogbo ìdámẹ́wàá ní Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún fún iṣẹ́ tí wọ́n ṣe, nígbà tí wọ́n ń ṣiṣẹ́ níbi àgọ́ ìpàdé.
22 And the sons of Israel no longer come near to the Tent of Meeting, to bear sin, to die,
Láti ìsinsin yìí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ àgọ́ ìpàdé, bí wọ́n bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, wọn yóò jẹ ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, wọn á sì kú.
23 and the Levites have done the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they bear their iniquity; [it is] a continuous statute throughout your generations that they have no inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel;
Àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní ó gbọdọ̀ ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó wà nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé, wọn yóò sì jìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn bí wọ́n bá kúrò láti ṣe é. Èyí ni ìlànà láéláé fún àwọn ìran tí ó ń bọ̀. Wọn kò nígbà ogún kankan láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
24 but the tithe of the sons of Israel which they lift up to YHWH, a raised-offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said of them, They have no inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.”
Kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, mo fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún wọn, ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́wàá tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pèsè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ sí Olúwa. Èyí ni mo wí nípa wọn. Wọn kò ní gba ogún kankan láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
25 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
26 “And you speak to the Levites, and you have said to them: When you take the tithe from the sons of Israel which I have given to you from them for your inheritance, then you have lifted up the raised-offering of YHWH from it, a tithe of the tithe;
“Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi kí o sì wí fún wọn pé: ‘Nígbà tí ìdámẹ́wàá bá ń wọlé láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún rẹ. O gbọdọ̀ mú ìdámẹ́wàá lára rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ Olúwa.
27 and your raised-offering has been reckoned to you as grain from the threshing-floor and as the fullness from the wine-vat;
A ó ka ọrẹ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkà irúgbìn láti ilẹ̀ ìpakà tàbí wáìnì láti fún wa.
28 so you lift up—you also—the raised-offering of YHWH from all your tithes which you receive from the sons of Israel; and you have given the raised-offering of YHWH from it to Aaron the priest;
Báyìí ni ìwọ gan an náà yóò mú ọrẹ wa fún Olúwa láti ara ìdámẹ́wàá tí ìwọ gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Láti ara ìdámẹ́wàá ó gbọdọ̀ mú ọrẹ Olúwa fún Aaroni àlùfáà.
29 out of all your gifts you lift up every raised-offering of YHWH, out of all its fat—its hallowed part—out of it.
Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín Olúwa èyí tí ó dára jùlọ àti tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ jùlọ lára gbogbo nǹkan tí wọ́n mú wá fún ọ.’
30 And you have said to them: In your lifting up its fat out of it, then it has been reckoned to the Levites as increase of a threshing-floor and as increase of a wine-vat;
“Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ pé, ‘Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá mú ìpín tí ó dára jù wá, a ó kà á sí fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkórè láti ilẹ̀ ìpakà tàbí ìfúntí yín.
31 and you have eaten it in every place, you and your households, for it [is] your hire in exchange for your service in the Tent of Meeting;
Ìwọ àti àwọn ìdílé rẹ̀ le jẹ èyí tí ó kù ní ibikíbi gbogbo. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ ọrẹ fún iṣẹ́ rẹ níbi àgọ́ ìpàdé.
32 and you bear no sin for it in your lifting up its fat out of it, but you do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel, and you do not die.”
Nípa ṣíṣe ìgbékalẹ̀ ìpín tí ó dára jùlọ o kò ní jẹ̀bi lórí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ìwọ kò sì ní ba ọrẹ mímọ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jẹ́, ìwọ kì yóò sì kú.’”
