< 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.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Wee, na ariũ aku, na andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo, nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩcookagĩrĩrwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa mangĩĩkwo makoniĩ handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na wee na ariũ aku inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩcookagĩrĩrwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa mangĩĩkwo makoniĩ wĩra wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
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.
Rehe Alawii a mbarĩ yanyu, a mũhĩrĩga wa maithe manyu, nĩguo manyiitane na inyuĩ na mamũteithagĩrĩrie rĩrĩa wee na ariũ aku mũgũtungata mbere ya Hema-ya-Ũira.
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.
Acio nĩwe marĩathĩkagĩra na marutage wĩra wothe wa Hema ĩyo, no matikanakuhĩrĩrie indo cia handũ hau haamũre kana kĩgongona, kana wee hamwe nao mũkue.
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.
Marĩrutithanagia wĩra na inyuĩ na mamenyagĩrĩre Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, marutage wĩra wothe wa Hema ĩyo na gũtikagĩe na mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũngĩkuhĩrĩria harĩa mũrĩ.
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.
“Nĩ wĩra wanyu kũmenyerera handũ hau haamũre o na kĩgongona, nĩguo mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova matikanakinyĩre andũ a Isiraeli rĩngĩ.
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.
Niĩ mwene nĩthuurĩte Alawii athiritũ anyu kuuma thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli matuĩke kĩheo kĩanyu, maamũrĩirwo Jehova nĩguo marutage wĩra wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
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.
No rĩrĩ, no wee na ariũ aku mũrĩĩtungataga ta athĩnjĩri-Ngai maũndũ-inĩ mothe ma kĩgongona, na mũtungatage o na mwena ũcio ũngĩ wa gĩtambaya kĩu gĩa kũhakania. Niĩ nĩndamũhe ũtungata wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ta kĩheo. Mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũngĩkuhĩrĩria handũ hau haamũre no nginya ooragwo.”
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.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Niĩ mwene nĩngũtuĩte mũmenyereri wa maruta marĩa ndehagĩrwo; maruta mothe maamũre marĩa andũ a Isiraeli marĩndutagĩra nĩ ndakũhe wee na ariũ aku matuĩke gĩcunjĩ gĩaku na rũgai rwaku rwa mahinda mothe.
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.
Wee ũrĩheagwo gĩcunjĩ kĩa maruta marĩa maamũre mũno marĩa matarĩ ma gũcinwo na mwaki. Kuuma kũrĩ iheo ciothe iria andũ a Isiraeli marĩndutagĩra irĩ maruta maamũre mũno, marĩ ma mũtu, kana ma kũhoroherio mehia, kana maruta ma mahĩtia, gĩcunjĩ kĩu nĩ gĩaku na ciana ciaku.
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.
Rĩĩaga gĩcunjĩ kĩu ta kĩndũ kĩamũre mũno; mũndũ mũrũme o wothe wa nyũmba yaku nĩagakĩrĩĩaga. Wee no nginya ũtuage atĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩu nĩ kĩamũre.
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.
“O na ningĩ ici no ciaku: kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩamũrĩtwo kuuma iheo ciothe cia gũthũngũthio cia andũ a Isiraeli. Icio nĩndakũhe wee, na ariũ aku, na airĩtu aku, ituĩke rũgai rwaku rwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Mũndũ o wothe wa nyũmba yaku ũtarĩ na thaahu no acirĩe.
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.
“Nĩndakũhe maguta mothe marĩa mega mũno ma mũtamaiyũ na ndibei yothe ĩrĩa njega mũno ya mũhihano, na ngano ĩrĩa maheaga Jehova ĩrĩ maciaro ma mbere ma magetha mao.
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.
Maciaro mothe ma bũrũri ma mbere marĩa marĩrehagĩra Jehova marĩtuĩkaga maku. Mũndũ o wothe wa nyũmba yaku ũtarĩ thaahu no amarĩe.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel to you it will belong.
“Kĩndũ gĩothe kĩrĩ Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩamũrĩirwo Jehova nĩ gĩaku.
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.
Marigithathi mothe, marĩ ma andũ kana ma nyamũ, marĩa marĩrutagĩrwo Jehova nĩ maku. No rĩrĩ, no nginya ũkũũrithagie irigithathi rĩothe rĩa kahĩĩ, na ũkũũrithagie irigithathi rĩa njamba rĩa nyamũ iria irĩ thaahu.
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.
Marigithathi macio marĩ ma mweri ũmwe, no nginya ũkaamakũũrithia na thogora wa gũkũũrana ũrĩa ũtuĩtwo wa cekeri ithano cia betha, kũringana na cekeri ya handũ-harĩa-haamũre, ĩrĩa ĩrĩ na ũritũ wa geera mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
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.
“No mũtikanakũũrithie marigithathi ma ndegwa, kana ma ngʼondu, kana ma mbũri; icio nĩ nyamũre. Thakame yacio nĩĩminjaminjagwo kĩgongona-inĩ igũrũ, na maguta ma cio macinwo na mwaki nĩguo matuĩke igongona rĩ na mũtararĩko wa gũkenia Jehova.
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 ciacio nĩ ciaku, o ta ũrĩa gĩthũri kĩa igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio na kĩero kĩa ũrĩo irĩ ciaku.
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.
Kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩamũragĩrwo Jehova nĩ andũ a Isiraeli kĩrĩ kĩamũre nĩndakũhe wee mwene, na ariũ aku, na airĩtu aku, kĩrĩ rũgai rwaku rwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa tene na tene gĩa cumbĩ mbere ya Jehova kũrĩ wee na njiaro ciaku.”
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.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Wee ndũgakorwo na igai bũrũri-inĩ wao, kana ũgĩe na rũgai thĩinĩ wao; niĩ nĩ niĩ rũgai rwaku o na igai rĩaku thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli.
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.
“Nĩndahe Alawii icunjĩ ciothe cia ikũmi thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, arĩ rĩo igai rĩao nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũrĩa marutaga rĩrĩa megũtungata Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
22 And not they will draw near again [the] people of Israel to [the] tent of meeting to bear sin to die.
Kuuma rĩu andũ a Isiraeli matigakuhagĩrĩrie Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, kana macookererwo nĩ mehia mao, nao makue.
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.
Alawii nĩo marĩrutaga wĩra Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo na nĩo marĩcookagĩrĩrwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa meekĩirwo hau. Ũyũ nĩ watho wa gũtũũrio nĩ njiaro iria igooka. Matikagĩa na igai thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli.
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.
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, ngũhe Alawii icunjĩ cia ikũmi iria andũ a Isiraeli marehaga irĩ maruta kũrĩ Jehova ituĩke igai rĩao. Nĩkĩo ndoigire igũrũ rĩao atĩrĩ: ‘Matikagĩa na igai thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli.’”
25 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
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.
“Arĩria Alawii, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Rĩrĩa mwamũkĩra icunjĩ cia ikũmi kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli iria ndĩmũheete arĩ cio igai rĩanyu-rĩ, no nginya mũrehage gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi gĩa gĩcunjĩ kĩu, kĩrĩ iruta kũrĩ Jehova.
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.
Maruta manyu marĩtuĩkaga ta ngano ĩrĩa ĩrutĩtwo kĩhuhĩro-inĩ, kana ndibei ĩrĩa ĩrutĩtwo kĩhihĩro-inĩ.
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.
Ũguo nĩguo o na inyuĩ mũrĩrutagĩra Jehova iruta kuuma kũrĩ icunjĩ cia ikũmi iria mũrĩamũkagĩra ciumĩte kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli. Kuuma kũrĩ icunjĩ icio cia ikũmi, no nginya mũnengagĩre Harũni mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova.
29 From all gifts your you will offer up every contribution of Yahweh some of all best its sacred part of its from it.
No nginya mũkarutagĩra Jehova gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩa kĩega mũno na kĩrĩa kĩamũre mũno kĩa indo ciothe iria mũheetwo.’
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.
“Ĩra Alawii atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩrĩa mwaruta gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩa kĩega mũno-rĩ, kĩrĩtuĩkaga ta iruta rĩanyu riumĩte kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kana kĩhihĩro-inĩ kĩa ndibei.
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.
Inyuĩ na andũ a nyũmba cianyu no mũrĩĩre icio ingĩ handũ o hothe, nĩgũkorwo ũcio nĩ mũcaara wanyu nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wanyu kũu Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ wa kũruta gĩcunjĩ kĩu kĩega mũno gĩacio, mũtigaatuĩrwo mahĩtia nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũyũ; na ningĩ mũtigathaahia maruta marĩa maamũre ma andũ a Isiraeli, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtigaakua.’”
