Numbers 18
1 And he said Yahweh to Aaron you and sons your and [the] house of ancestor your with you you will bear [the] guilt of the sanctuary and you and sons your with you you will bear [the] guilt of priesthood your.
Yehova anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Iwe, ana ako aamuna ndi banja la abambo ako mudzasenza tchimo la malo wopatulika, koma iwe ndi ana ako aamuna okha mudzasenza tchimo lokhudza unsembe wanu.
2 And also brothers your [the] tribe of Levi [the] tribe of ancestor your bring near with you so they may join themselves to you so they may serve you and you and sons your with you [will be] before [the] tent of the testimony.
Ubweretse Alevi, abale ako, kuchokera ku fuko la abambo ako kuti azikhala ndi iwe ndi kumakuthandiza pamodzi ndi ana ako amuna pamene mukutumikira mu tenti ya umboni.
3 And they will keep service your and [the] service of all the tent only to [the] equipment of the holy place and to the altar not they will draw near and not they will die both they as well as you.
Iwowo azikutumikirani ndipo azichita ntchito zonse za ku tenti, koma asamafike pafupi ndi zipangizo za ku malo opatulika kapena guwa lansembe, kuopa kuti iwo ndi inu mungafe.
4 And they will join themselves to you and they will keep [the] duty of [the] tent of meeting to all [the] service of the tent and a stranger not he will draw near to you.
Azikhala ndi inu ndipo azisamalira ntchito yonse ya mu tenti ya msonkhano koma munthu wina aliyense wapadera sayenera kufika pafupi nanu.
5 And you will keep [the] service of the holy place and [the] service of the altar and not it will be again wrath towards [the] people of Israel.
“Inuyo muzisamalira malo wopatulika ndi guwa lansembe, kuti ukali wa Yehova usawagwerenso Aisraeli.
6 And I here! I have taken brothers your the Levites from among [the] people of Israel to you a gift assigned to Yahweh to serve [the] service of [the] tent of meeting.
Ine mwini ndasankha Alevi, abale ako, pakati pa Aisraeli ngati mphatso yako ndipo aperekedwa kwa Yehova kuti azigwira ntchito ku tenti ya msonkhano.
7 And you and sons your with you you will keep priesthood your to every matter of the altar and to from inside to the curtain and you will serve a service of a gift I give priesthood your and the stranger approaching he will be put to death.
Koma iwe wekha ndi ana ako aamuna muzitumikira ngati ansembe ndi zina zonse zokhudza pa guwa lansembe ndi za mʼkati mwa malo wopatulika kwambiri. Ndikukupatsani mphatso ya utumiki wa unsembe. Aliyense woyandikira malo wopatulika ayenera kuphedwa.
8 And he spoke Yahweh to Aaron and I here! I give to you [the] charge of contributions my to all [the] holy gifts of [the] people of Israel to you I give them to a portion and to sons your to a prescribed portion of perpetuity.
“Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Aaroni, ona, Ine mwini ndikukuyika kuti ukhale woyangʼanira zopereka zobwera kwa Ine; zopereka zonse zopatulika za Aisraeli zimene amapereka kwa ine ndi kuzipereka kwa iwe ndi ana ako aamuna ngati gawo lanu la nthawi zonse.
9 This it will belong to you from [the] holy thing of the holy things from the fire every offering their to every grain offering their and to every sin offering their and to every guilt offering their which they will give back to me [will be] a holy thing of holy things for you it and for sons your.
Uzilandiranso gawo la zopereka zopatulika kwambiri zomwe sizinawotchedwe pa moto. Kuchokera pa mphatso zonse zimene amabweretsa kwa Ine ngati zopatulika kwambiri, nsembe zachakudya kapena nsembe zopepesera machimo, gawo limenelo ndi lako ndi ana ako aamuna.
10 [the] holy thing of The holy things you will eat it every male he will eat it a holy thing it will be for you.
Muzidya zimenezo ngati zinthu zopatulika kwambiri; mwamuna aliyense adyeko. Uzitenge kukhala zopatulika.
11 And this [will belong] to you [the] contribution of gift their to all [the] wave-offerings of [the] people of Israel to you I give them and to sons your and to daughters your with you to a prescribed portion of perpetuity every clean [person] among household your he will eat it.
“Izinso ndi zako: chilichonse chopatulidwa kuchokera ku mphatso zoweyula za Aisraeli ndapereka kwa iwe ndi ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi ngati gawo lako la nthawi zonse. Aliyense wa mʼnyumba mwako amene ali woyeretsedwa monga mwa mwambo angathe kudyako.
12 All [the] best of [the] fresh oil and all [the] best of [the] new wine and grain first [fruit] their which they will give to Yahweh to you I give them.
“Ndikukupatsani mafuta onse abwino kwambiri a olivi ndi vinyo yense watsopano wabwino kwambiri ndi tirigu yense zomwe Aisraeli amapereka kwa Yehova ngati zipatso zoyamba pa zokolola zawo.
13 [the] first-fruits of All that [is] in land their which they will bring to Yahweh to you it will belong every clean [person] among household your he will eat it.
Zipatso zonse zoyamba kucha za mʼdziko lawo zomwe amapereka kwa Yehova zidzakhala zako. Aliyense mʼnyumba mwako amene ali woyeretsedwa angathe kudyako.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel to you it will belong.
“Chilichonse mu Israeli chomwe chapatulidwira Yehova ndi chako.
15 Every firstborn of a womb of all flesh which they will bring near to Yahweh among humankind and among animal[s] it will belong to you only - certainly you will redeem [the] firstborn of humankind and [the] firstborn of animal[s] unclean you will redeem.
Chilichonse choyamba kubadwa kwa munthu kaya nyama, chomwe chaperekedwa kwa Yehova ndi chako. Koma uyenera kuwombola mwana aliyense wamwamuna ndi mwana aliyense woyamba wa nyama zodetsedwa.
16 And redemption price its from a son of a month you will redeem [it] by valuation your [will be] silver five shekels by [the] shekel of the holy place [is] twenty gerah[s] it.
Pamene zili ndi mwezi umodzi wa kubadwa, uziwombole pa mtengo wowombolera wa ndalama zisanu zasiliva, monga mwa ndalama za ku malo wopatulika.
17 Only [the] firstborn of a cow or [the] firstborn of a sheep or [the] firstborn of a goat not you will redeem [are] holy thing[s] they blood their you will sprinkle on the altar and fat their you will make smoke a fire offering to an odor of soothing to Yahweh.
“Koma usawombole ana oyamba kubadwa a ngʼombe, nkhosa kapena mbuzi. Iwo ndi opatulika. Uwaze magazi a nyamazi pa guwa lansembe ndi kutentha mafuta ake ngati nsembe yotentha ndi moto kuti likhale fungo lokoma kwa Yehova.
18 And meat their it will belong to you like [the] breast of the wave-offering and like [the] thigh of the right to you it will belong.
Nyama yake ikhale yanu monga momwe chimakhalira chidale cha nsembe yoweyula ndi ntchafu za miyendo ya kumanja, zonsezi ndi zako.
19 All - [the] contributions of the holy gifts which they will offer up [the] people of Israel to Yahweh I give to you and to sons your and to daughters your with you to a prescribed portion of perpetuity [is] a covenant of salt of perpetuity it before Yahweh to you and to offspring your with you.
Zonse zimene mwazichotsa ku zopereka zoyera zomwe Aisraeli anapereka kwa Yehova ndazipereka kwa iwe ndi ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi ngati gawo lanu nthawi zonse. Ili ndi pangano losatha la mchere pamaso pa Yehova kwa iwe ndi ana ako.”
20 And he said Yahweh to Aaron in land their not you will have an inheritance and a share not it will belong to you in midst of them I [am] share your and inheritance your in among [the] people of Israel.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Aaroni, “Iweyo sudzakhala ndi cholowa mʼdziko lawo, ndiponso sudzalandira gawo lililonse pakati pawo. Ine ndine gawo lako ndi cholowa chako pakati pa Aisraeli.
21 And to [the] descendants of Levi here! I give every tithe in Israel for an inheritance in return for service their which they [are] serving [the] service of [the] tent of meeting.
“Taonani, ndawapatsa Alevi chakhumi chonse mu Israeli ngati cholowa chawo chifukwa cha ntchito ya ku tenti ya msonkhano.
22 And not they will draw near again [the] people of Israel to [the] tent of meeting to bear sin to die.
Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo Aisraeli asamapite pafupi ndi tenti ya msonkhano. Ngati atero adzasenza zotsatira za tchimo lawo ndipo adzafa.
23 And he will serve the Levite[s] he [the] service of [the] tent of meeting and they they will bear iniquity their a statute of perpetuity to generations your and in among [the] people of Israel not they will inherit an inheritance.
Alevi ndi amene azidzagwira ntchito ya ku tenti ya msonkhano ndipo adzalangidwa chilichonse chikalakwika. Ili ndi lamulo losatha kwa mibado yawo yonse. Iwowo sadzalandira cholowa pakati pa Aisraeli.
24 For [the] tithe of [the] people of Israel which they will offer up to Yahweh a contribution I give to the Levites for an inheritance there-fore I have said of them in among [the] people of Israel not they will inherit an inheritance.
Mʼmalo mwake, ndikuwapatsa Aleviwo chakhumi ngati cholowa chawo chimene Aisraeli amapereka kwa Yehova. Nʼchifukwa chake zokhudza iwo ndinati: ‘Sadzakhala ndi cholowa pakati pa Aisraeli.’”
25 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Yehova anati kwa Mose,
26 And to the Levites you will speak and you will say to them if you will take from with [the] people of Israel the tithe which I give to you from with them inheritance your and you will offer up from it [the] contribution of Yahweh a tithe of the tithe.
“Yankhula ndi Alevi ndi kunena nawo kuti, ‘Pamene mulandira chakhumi kuchoka kwa Aisraeli chimene ndimakupatsani ngati cholowa chanu, muyenera kupereka chakhumi cha choperekacho kwa Yehova.
27 And it will be reckoned to you contribution your like the grain from the threshing floor and like the full produce from the wine-press.
Chopereka chanucho chidzawerengedwa kwa inu ngati tirigu wochokera kopunthira kapena ngati mphesa zopsinya kuchokera kopsinyira mphesa.
28 Thus you will offer up also you contribution of Yahweh from all tithes your which you will take from with [the] people of Israel and you will give from it [the] contribution of Yahweh to Aaron the priest.
Mwa njira imeneyi inunso muzipereka chopereka kwa Yehova kuchokera ku chakhumi chanu chilichonse chimene mumalandira kuchokera kwa Aisraeli. Kuchokera ku chakhumicho muziperekako gawo la Yehova kwa Aaroni, wansembe.
29 From all gifts your you will offer up every contribution of Yahweh some of all best its sacred part of its from it.
Muyenera kupereka monga gawo la Yehova magawo abwino kwambiri ndi opatulika a chilichonse chimene chapatsidwa kwa inu.’
30 And you will say to them when offer up you best of its from it and it will be reckoned to the Levites like [the] produce of a threshing floor and like [the] produce of a wine-press.
“Nena kwa Alevi: ‘Pamene mupereka gawo labwino lopambana zonse, gawo limenelo lidzawerengedwa kwa inu ngati lochokera popunthira tirigu kapenanso kopsinyira mphesa.
31 And you will eat it in any place you and household your for [is] wage[s] it of you in return for service your in [the] tent of meeting.
Inu ndi a pa banja panu mungathe kudyera zimenezi paliponse chifukwa ndi malipiro a ntchito yanu ya ku tenti ya msonkhano.
32 And not you will bear on it sin when offer up you best of its from it and [the] holy gifts of [the] people of Israel not you will profane and not you will die.
Popereka gawo labwino kwambirilo simudzapezeka olakwa. Mukatero simudzadetsa zopereka zoyera za Aisraeli, ndipo simudzafa.’”
