Numbers 18

1 Yahweh said to Aaron, “You and your sons and the other members of your father’s family are the ones (who will be punished/whom I will punish) [if anything bad happens to the things] inside the Sacred Tent. But only you and your sons will be punished if the priests do something bad.

Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Aronina asami'ne, Kagrane Livae naga'mo'zane mofavre nagakamo'zanema ruotage'ma hu'nea seli mono noni'afima pristi eri'zama eriso'ema osnazana, kna'a tamagra'a erigahaze.

2 Require that those who belong to your tribe, the tribe of Levi, must assist you and your sons while you perform your work at the Sacred Tent.

Hagi tamafuhe'i Livae nagara zamavareta enke'za, tamagrane erimago hu'za tamaza hanageta seli mono nomofo avuga eri'zana eriho.

3 But while they do that work, they must not go near the sacred items inside the tent or near the altar. If they do that, they will die, and you will die, too!

Hagi zamagra maka tamagrama zamisaza eri'za e'neri'za, seli mono nomofo eri'zana eriho. Hianagi ruotage'ma hu'nea zantaminte'ene, kresramna vu itarera erava'o osiho. Hagi erava'oma hanazana tamagrane, zmagranena frigahaze.

4 They may assist you in doing all the work to take care of the Sacred Tent, but no one else is permitted to come near the place where you are working.

Livae vahe'mo'zage seli mono nompina eri'zana tamaza hu'za eriho. Hianagi ru vahe'mo'za erava'o osuge, eri'zana tamaza hu'za e'origahaze.

5 “You are the ones who will do the sacred work inside the Sacred Tent and at the altar. If you obey these instructions, I will not become very angry with the Israeli people again.

Hagi kagrake seli mono nompi eri'zane, kresramna vu itare'enena eri'zana erigahane. E'inahukna hanankeno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'mota arimpa aheoramantegahie.

6 I myself have chosen the descendants of Levi from the other Israelis in order that they may be your special helpers. They are like a gift that I have given you to work at the Sacred Tent.

Hagi ko, Nagra'a Israeli vahepintira Livae nagara zamavare'na mago museza zamiaza hu'na negamina, zamazeri ruotage huge'za seli mono nompina eri'zana e'nerize.

7 But it is you and your sons, who are the priests, who must perform all the rituals concerning the altar and with what happens inside the Very Holy Place. I am giving to you this work of serving as priests. So anyone else who tries to do that work must be executed.”

Hianagi kagrane mofavreka'aramine pristi eri'zane, kresramna vu itare'ene, hunagru'ma hu'nefinka eri'zana erigahaze. Hagi muse'za tamiankna hu'na pristi eri'zana tami'noanki, ru vahe'mo'zama seli mono nomofo tavaonte'ma erava'oma hanazana zamahe friho.

8 Yahweh also said to Aaron, “I myself have appointed you to take care of all the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me. I have given all these sacred offerings to you and to your sons. You and your descendants will get a share of these offerings permanently.

Anante Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno mago'ane Aronina asmi'ne, Veamo'zama ofama eri'za esaza ofaramina kegavama hu eri'zana, kagri kamuankinka ruotage'ma hu'nea ofama Israeli vahe'mo'za eri'za esazana kagri'ene mofavre zagaka'ane tamamuankita anampintira tamagra'a suzana maka kna erigahaze.

9 The parts of the offerings that are not completely burned on the altar belong to you. Those parts of the sacred offerings, including the offerings of grain, the offerings for sins and for the people to be forgiven for not giving me what they are required to give, are set apart, and are to be given to you and your sons.

Ama'i ruotage'ma hu'nea ofama tevefima negrenka atresanama'ane, muse ofane, witi ofane, kumizmire'ma hu ofane, hazenke'ma hu'nesaza zante'ma hu ofama eri'za eme namisazana, ruotage hu'neakino kagri'ene mofavre nagakamofo su'a megahie.

10 You must eat those offerings in a sacred place, [near the Sacred Tent]. You and all of the other males [in your clan] may eat them, but you must consider those offerings to be holy/dedicated to me.

E'i ruotage hu'nea ofagita kagrane, ne' mofavre nagakamo'zane ruotage hu'ne hutma nentahita negahaze.

11 “The priests lift up high the sacred offerings while they are standing in front of the altar. All of those offerings that the Israelis offer to me belong to you and your sons and daughters. They will always be your share. All the members of your family who [have performed the rituals to cause them to] be acceptable to me are permitted to eat from these offerings.

Hagi eri verave hu ofama Israeli vahe'mo'zama eri'zama esaza ofa kagri'ene ne'mofaka'ane miko nagaka'ane zamue. Hagi ana ne'zana, Nagri navure'ma agruma hu'nesaza nagakamo'zage negahaze.

12 “am [also] giving to you the first food that people harvest each year and bring to me—the best [olive] oil and new wine and grain.

Hagi maka knare'ma hu'nea olivi masavene, knare'ma hu'nea wainine, knare'ma hu'nea witine, ese ne'zama hamare'za Ra Anumzamo'na eme namisazana, kagri kamue.

13 All of the first crops that people harvest and bring to me belong to you. Anyone in your family who has [performed the ritual to] become acceptable to me is permitted to eat that food.

Hagi ese ne'zama afumaresige'za eri'za esazana, agruma hu'nesaza nagaka'amozage negahaze.

14 “Everything in Israel that is set apart to belong to me also belongs to you.

Maka'zama Ra Anumzamo'nama nami'nesaza zana, amne kagra erigahane.

15 The firstborn males, both humans and domestic animals, that are offered to me, will be yours. But people must buy back their firstborn sons and the firstborn animals that may not be used for sacrifices.

Hagi ese mofavre'ma Israeli vahe'mozo, zagagafamo'zama kasentesage'za, Ra Anumzamonare ofa eme namisazana kagri'za megahie. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zane zmagonesa mofavrene, agruma osu'nesia zagagafarera nona hu'za mizaseza avreho.

16 They must buy them back when they are one month old. The price that they must pay [for each one] is five pieces of silver. They must weigh the silver on the scales that are in the Sacred Tent.

Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za mago ikama hu'nesia agonesa mofavrere'ma ete mizase'za zamavaresaza mizana, seli mono nompi zagomofo avamente erinte'za 5fu'a silva zagoa mizasegahaze.

17 “But they are not permitted to buy back the firstborn cattle or sheep or goats. They are holy and have been set apart for me. [Slaughter them and] sprinkle their blood on the altar. Then completely burn the fat of those animals [on the altar] to be an offering to me. The smell as they burn will be very pleasing to me.

Hianagi bulimakao'o, sipisipio meme afumo'zama ese kasezmantesa anentara, ruotage hu'neankino ete Israeli vahe'mo'za mizana osegahaze. Hagi kagra kresramna vu itare korazmia taginka ru tritri nehunka, afova'a tevefi kregeno, sramnamo'a kumpi marerinke'na Ra Anumzamo'na mna'a nentahina musena haneno.

18 The meat from those offerings will be yours, just like the breast and right thigh of animals that are presented to me to maintain fellowship with me as the priest lifts them up high in front of the altar are yours.

Hagi ana ofama hu afumofo ame'a tamagri suza mesigeno, eri verave hu ofama nehaza ahihiza'ane, tamaga kaziga amo'anena tamagri su'za megahie.

19 Anything that the Israeli people present to me as holy/sacred gifts, I am giving to you. They are for you and your sons and daughters [to eat]. They will always be your share. This is an agreement that I am making with you, an agreement that will (last forever/never be changed). I am also making this agreement with your descendants.”

Hagi meninteti'ma agafama huno'ma vaniana, Israeli vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamo'nare'ma eri'za esaza ofamo'a tamagri'ene, ne'mofatamimofo suza mevava hugahie. Hagi ama ana zamo'a mevava huhagerafi huvempage Nagrite'ene henkama tamagripinti fore'ma hanaza vahetera meno vugahie.

20 Yahweh also said to Aaron, “You priests will not receive any of the land or the property like the [other] Israeli people will receive. I am what you will receive.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Aronina amanage huno asami'ne, Israeli mopafina tamagra mago mopa erinafa'a osugahze. Tamagrama eri santima hare'nazazana Nagrake'za manigahue.

21 “Then the Israeli people bring to me a tenth of all [the crops and of their newborn animals], I will give that to you descendants of Levi. That will be your payment for the work you do at the Sacred Tent.

Hagi Livae naga'nofimo'za atruma hu seli mono nompima eri'zama erisa mizana, Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevu ante'nenafinti mago kevuma namisaza zantaminteti, ana eri'zama erisarera erisantima hare'saza zana zamigahue.

22 The other Israelis must not go near that tent. If they go near it, [I will consider that their doing that is a sin, and] they will die for committing that sin.

Hagi meninteti'ma agafama huno vaniana Israeli vahepinti'ma Livae naga'ma omaninesimo'a, atruma hu seli mono nontera uravaoa osino. Hagi urava'oma hanimo'a kumi hugahiankino, ana nona'a frigahie.

23 Only the descendants of Levi are permitted to work at the Sacred Tent, and they will be punished if anything bad happens to it. That is a law that will never be changed. You descendants of Levi will not receive any land among the other Israeli people,

Hagi Livae naga'mozage atruma hu seli mono nompina vahe kumima apasezmante eri'zana erigahaze. Hagi ama tra kemo'a mevava hugahianki'za, henkama fore'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za amage antegahaze. Hagi Israeli mopafina Livae vahe'mokizmia mopazamia omanegahie.

24 because I will give you one tenth of all the [crops and animals] that the Israelis bring to be offerings to me. That is why I said that you will not receive any land like the other Israelis will receive.”

Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'za 10ni'a kevu antenenafinti mago kevuma ofama Ra Anumzamo'na namisaza zantamina erisante'maharesaza zana zamigahue. Hagi e'i ana agafare Israeli vahepina, Livae naga'mozama erisantima haresaza mopa omanegahie.

25 Yahweh said to Moses/me,

Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena amanage huno asami'ne,

26 “Tell this to the descendants of Levi: ‘When you receive one tenth of all [the crops and animals] from the Israeli people, you must give one tenth of all that to me to be a sacred offering.

Kagra Livae nagara ke hunka zamasamige'za Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevu ante'nenafinti mago kevuma eri'za emema namisafintira eri'na tamagrira tamigahuanki, anampintira ete hamprinkeno 10nima hania kevua namigahaze.

27 Just like the other Israelis give one tenth of the grain and wine that they produce,

Hagi ana ofama hanage'na, Ra Anumzamo'na nege'na, hoza tamifinti ese witi hamareta ofa haze nehu'na, wainima regatitima nehazafinti ese waini ofa nehaze hu'na hugahue.

28 you must give to me one tenth of all that you receive from them. That will be your sacred offering to me. You must present it to Aaron.

E'inahu kante Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevuma ante'nafinti mago kevuma eme tami'nazana refko huta Ra Anumzamo'na ofa hunantegahaze. Hagi ana ofama Ra Anumzamo'nama namisazana pristi ne' Aroni erigahie.

29 Select the best parts of the things that are given to you to give them to me.’

Hagi maka musezama taminafintira knare'zantfama hu'nesiama'a Ra Anumzamo'na namigahaze.

30 “Also, tell this to the descendants of Levi: ‘When you present those best portions of grain and wine as your offering to me, I will consider that those gifts are as though they came from your own grain fields and vineyards.

Ana hu'negu Livae nagara zamasamio, anama knare'ma hu'neama'ama ofama hanage'na, Ra Anumzamo'na nege'na, hoza tamifinti witi hamareta ofa haze nehu'na, wainima regatiti'ma nehazafinti waini ofa nehaze hu'na hugahie.

31 You descendants of Levi and your families are permitted to eat [the rest of] that food, and you may eat it wherever [you want to], because it is your payment for the work that you do at the Sacred Tent.

Hagi Livae naga'mota seli mono nompi eri'zama e'neriza zamofo mizama'agita, a'mofavre taminena inantegama ana ne'zama nenaku'ma hanarega amne negahaze.

32 If you give to the priests the best portions of what you receive, you will not be punished [by me] for accepting one tenth of the gifts that the people bring to me. But you must consider those gifts to be sacred/holy. If you sin [by eating those things in ways that are contrary to these regulations that I have given to you], you will be executed.’”

Hagi knare'ma hu'nesia ne'zama ofama hanuta, kumira osugahaze. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama eme tamisaza ruotage ne'zama amnezane huta eri havizama hanuta, haviza hugahazankita knazama'a tamagra'a erita frigahaze.
