Numbers 18
1 The LORD said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your fathers' house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, “Ggwe, ne batabani bo, n’ab’omu kika kyo bonna, mmwe munaavunaanyizibwanga olw’emisango eginazzibwanga ku watukuvu; era ggwe ne batabani bo mwekka mmwe muneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa ku misango eginazzibwanga ku bwakabona.
2 Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony.
Onooleetanga Abaleevi banno ab’omu kika kyo eky’obujjajja ne babeegattako, ggwe ne batabani bo, okubayambanga bwe munaabanga muweereza mu Weema ya Mukama ey’Endagaano.
3 They shall keep your commands, and the duty of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you.
Banaaweererezanga wansi wo nga bakola emirimu gyonna egy’omu Weema ya Mukama; naye beekuumenga balemenga okusemberera ekyoto wadde eby’omu watukuvu byonna; bwe balikikola, bo naawe mugenda kufa.
4 They shall be joined to you, and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you.
Bagenda kukwegattako, balabirirenga Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga bakola emirimu gyonna egy’omu Weema, era tewaabenga mugwira n’omu anaasemberanga we muli.
5 "You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary, and the duty of the altar; that there be no more wrath on the children of Israel.
“Mmwe munaabanga n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’emirimu gyonna egy’awatukuvu n’egy’Ekyoto, olwo obusungu buleme kuddamu kubuubuukiranga ku baana ba Isirayiri.
6 And as for me, look, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel; they are a gift to you, given to the LORD, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.
Kale weeteegereze: nziridde ab’omu lulyo lwo olw’Abaleevi nga mbalonze mu baana ba Isirayiri, ne mbakukwasa ng’ekirabo ekiweereddwayo eri Mukama Katonda okukolanga emirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
7 You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything concerning the altar, and for that inside the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death."
Naye ggwe ne batabani bo mwekka mmwe munaakolanga emirimu gyonna egy’obwakabona bwammwe egikwata ku kyoto n’egy’omunda w’eggigi. Obuweereza obw’Obwakabona mbubawadde ng’ekirabo. Omuntu yenna omulala anaasemberanga okumpi n’awatukuvu, anaafanga.”
8 The LORD spoke to Aaron, "I, look, I have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, “Laba, Nze kennyini nkukwasizza ebiweebwayo byonna ebireetebwa gye ndi; ebiweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu abaana ba Isirayiri bye banandeeteranga mbikuwadde ggwe ne batabani bo nga gwe mugabo gwammwe ogw’olubeerera.
9 This shall be yours of the most holy things from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
Ku biweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu ennyo ebitayokeddwa mu muliro kunaabangako ebibyo. Omugabo gwo ne batabani bo gunaavanga ku birabo ebitukuvu ennyo abaana ba Isirayiri bye banandeeteranga: ebiweebwayo eby’emmere y’empeke oba ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, oba ebiweebwayo olw’omusango.
10 You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
Omugabo ogwo onooguliiranga mu kifo ekitukuvu ennyo, era buli musajja anaagulyangako. Osaana okitegeere ng’ebyo bitukuvu nnyo.
11 "This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
“Bino nabyo binaabanga bibyo: ku birabo bye banandeeteranga, n’ebiweebwayo ebiwuubibwawuubibwa eby’abaana ba Isirayiri. Ebyo mbikuwadde ne batabani bo ne bawala bo okuba omugabo gwo ogw’olubeerera. Buli muntu yenna ow’omu maka go omulongoofu anaalyangako.
12 "All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to the LORD, to you have I given them.
“Nkuwadde ku mafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni agasinga obulungi ne ku wayini omusu, ne ku mmere y’empeke embereberye bye baleetera Mukama eby’amakungula gaabwe.
13 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the LORD, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
Ebibala ebinaasookanga okwengera mu nnimiro zaabwe, bye banaaleeteranga Mukama Katonda, binaabanga bibyo. Buli muntu yenna ow’omu maka go omulongoofu anaalyangako.
14 "Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
“Buli kintu kyonna mu Isirayiri ekiweereddwayo ddala ne kiwongebwa eri Mukama kinaabanga kikyo.
15 Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to the LORD, both of man and animal shall be yours: nevertheless you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.
Buli ekinaggulangawo enda y’omuntu oba ey’ekisolo, nga kyakuwaayo eri Mukama Katonda, kinaabanga kikyo. Naye omwana omubereberye ow’omuntu onoomununulanga, era n’embereberye ez’ensolo ezitali nnongoofu nazo onoozinunulanga.
16 You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
Ebyo eby’okununula onoobinunulanga bimaze okuweza omwezi gumu ogw’obukulu. Onoobinunuliranga ku muwendo ogwagerekebwa ogwa gulaamu amakumi ataano mu ttaano, ng’ebipimo by’awatukuvu bwe biri.
17 "But you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
“Naye embereberye ey’ente, oba embereberye ey’endiga oba ey’embuzi, ezo toozinunulenga, kubanga zo ntukuvu. Onoomansiranga omusaayi gwazo ku kyoto, n’oyokya amasavu gaazo mu muliro ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekivaamu akawoowo akasanyusa Mukama Katonda.
18 Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
Ennyama yaazo eneebanga yiyo ng’ekiweebwayo ky’ekifuba ekiwuubibwawuubibwa n’ekisambi ekya ddyo bwe kiri ekikyo.
19 All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to the LORD, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD to you and to your descendants with you."
Ebiweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleeteranga Mukama, mbikuwadde, ggwe ne batabani bo, ne bawala bo, okubeeranga omugabo gwo ogw’olubeerera. Eneebeeranga endagaano ey’omunnyo eya Mukama wakati we naawe n’ezzadde lyo emirembe gyonna.”
20 The LORD said to Aaron, "You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, “Toobenga na byabusika mu nsi yaabwe, so toobenga na mugabo gwonna mu bo; Nze mugabo gwo era Nze busika bwo mu baana ba Isirayiri.
21 "To the descendants of Levi, look, 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.
“Ebitundu eby’ekkumi byonna abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga, mbiwadde Abaleevi okubeeranga omugabo gwabwe nga ye mpeera yaabwe olw’omulimu gwe bakola nga baweereza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
22 Hereafter the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
Era okuva leero abaana ba Isirayiri tebaasembererenga Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, si kulwa nga bakolerayo ebibi, ne bafa.
23 But the Levites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Abaleevi be banaakolanga emirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, era be baneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwe banaakolerangayo ebibi. Lino linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira ne mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egigenda okujja. Tebaafunenga byabusika mu baana ba Isirayiri.
24 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, 'Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.'"
Kubanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama, mbiwadde Abaleevi okubeera omugabo gwabwe. Noolwekyo tebaabenga na byabusika mu baana ba Isirayiri.”
25 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
26 "Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, 'When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for the LORD, a tithe of the tithe.
“Yogera n’Abaleevi obagambe nti, ‘Bwe munaafunanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi, bye mbawadde ng’omugabo gwammwe, nga mubiggya ku baana ba Isirayiri, munaggyangako ekitundu eky’ekkumi ne mukireeta nga kye kiweebwayo kyammwe eri Mukama Katonda.
27 Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
Ekiweebwayo kyammwe kinaabalibwanga ng’emmere y’empeke ey’omu gguuliro oba ng’omubisi ogw’omu ssogolero.
28 Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give the LORD's wave offering to Aaron the priest.
Mu ngeri eyo nammwe munaaleetanga ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda nga mukiggya ku bitundu eby’ekkumi bye munaafunanga ku baana ba Isirayiri. Ku bitundu ebyo eby’ekkumi kwe munaggyanga ekiweebwayo kya Mukama ne mukikwasa Alooni kabona.
29 Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering of the LORD, of all its best, even the holy part of it out of it.'
Mu birabo ebyo byonna bye banaabawanga munaggyangako ekisingira ddala obulungi era ekitukuvu ennyo ne mukireeta nga kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda.’
30 "Therefore you shall tell them, 'When you heave its best from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress.
“Abaleevi bagambe nti, ‘Bwe munaawangayo ebitundu ebisinga obulungi, binaababalirwangako ng’ebivudde mu gguuliro n’ebivudde mu ssogolero.
31 You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.
Mmwe n’ab’omu maka gammwe munaayinzanga okubiriira wonna we munaayagalanga, kubanga eneebeeranga mpeera yammwe olw’omulimu gwe munaakolanga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
32 You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.'"
Bwe munaawangayo ebisingira ddala obulungi, tewaabengawo musango gwonna gwe munaabanga muzzizza; bwe mutyo ebiweebwayo ebitukuvu eby’abaana ba Isirayiri munaabanga temubivumisizza, muleme okufa.’”
