< 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.
Markaasaa Rabbigu Haaruun ku yidhi, Adiga iyo wiilashaada iyo qabiilkaagu waxaad qaadi doontaan dembiga meesha quduuska ah, oo adiga iyo wiilashaada kula jiraa waxaad qaadi doontaan dembiga wadaadnimadiinna.
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.
Oo walaalahaa oo ah qabiilka reer Laawi, qabiilkaas oo ah kan aabbahaa, la soo dhowow si ay kuugu darmadaan, oo ay kuugu adeegaan, laakiinse adiga iyo wiilashaada kula jiraa waa inaad teendhada maragga hor joogtaan.
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!
Oo iyagu waa inay dhawraan amarkaaga iyo hawsha teendhada oo dhan, laakiinse waa inaanay u soo dhowaan alaabta meesha quduuska ah iyo meesha allabariga, yaanay iyaga iyo idinka toona dhimanine.
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.
Oo iyagu ha idinku darmadeen oo ha dhawreen teendhada shirka, iyo hawsha teendhada loo sameeyo oo dhan; oo shisheeyena yaanu idiin soo dhowaan.
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.
Oo inaan mar dambe cadho ku dhicin reer binu Israa'iil idiinku waa inaad dhawrtaan hawsha meesha quduuska ah iyo hawsha meesha allabariga.
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.
Oo bal eeg, anna walaalihiin reer Laawi ayaan kala dhex baxay reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxay idiin yihiin hadiyad Rabbiga loo siiyey inay teendhada shirka ka adeegaan.
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.”
Oo adiga iyo wiilashaada kula joogaaba waa inaad wadaadnimadiinna u dhawrtaan waxyaalaha meesha allabariga oo dhan, iyo waxyaalaha daaha ka shisheeya oo dhan, oo waa inaad adeegtaan. Wadaadnimada ayaan idiin siiyey sida hawl hadiyad ah; oo shisheeyihii soo dhowaada waa in la dilaa.
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.
Markaasaa Rabbigu Haaruun ku yidhi, Bal eeg, anna adigaan ku siiyey amarka qurbaannadayda sare loo qaado, kuwaas oo ah waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Subkidda aawadeed ayaan adiga iyo wiilashaada u siiyey qayb joogto ah weligeed.
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.
Kulli waxyaalaha aad u quduuska ah oo dabka laga reebay oo aad lahaan doonto waa kuwan: mid kasta oo qurbaankooda ah, xataa qurbaankooda kasta ee hadhuudhka ah, iyo qurbaankooda kasta ee dembiga, iyo qurbaankooda kasta ee xadgudubka, oo ay ii bixinayaan, adiga iyo wiilashaadaba ayay aad u quduus idiin ahaan doonaan.
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.
Oo sida waxyaalaha aad u quduuska ah waa inaad u cuntaa, oo mid kasta oo lab ahu wax ha ka cuno. Taasu waa inay quduus kuu ahaataa.
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.
Oo adigaa iska leh qurbaanka sare loo qaado oo hadiyaddooda ah, oo ah qurbaannada la ruxruxo ee reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Kuwaas adiga iyo wiilashaada iyo gabdhahaaga kula jooga ayaan u siiyey qayb joogto ah weligeed. Oo mid kasta oo daahir ah oo gurigaaga joogaaba wax ha ka cuno.
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.
Oo saliidda inteeda ugu wanaagsan oo dhan iyo canabka iyo hadhuudhka intooda ugu wanaagsan oo dhan kuwaasoo ah midhaha ugu horreeya oo ay Rabbiga siiyaanba, ayaan adiga ku siiyey.
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.
Midhaha ugu horreeya oo dalkooda oo dhan, oo ay Rabbiga u keenaan, adigaa iska lahaan doonta; oo mid kasta oo daahir ah oo gurigaaga joogaaba wax ha ka cuno.
14 “Everything in Israel that is set apart to belong to me also belongs to you.
Oo wax kasta oo ay reer binu Israa'iil gooni u soocaan waa inay kuwaaga ahaadaan.
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.
Oo wax kasta oo maxal furo oo Rabbiga loo bixiyo, dad iyo duunyoba, waa inay kuwaaga ahaadaan, habase yeeshee dadka curadkiisa kolleyba waa inaad madax furtaa, oo xoolaha aan daahirka ahayn curadyadoodana waa inaad madax furtaa.
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.
Oo kuwa la madax furayo, markay bil jiraan waa inaad ku madax furtaa, sidaad u qiimayso, lacag ah shan sheqel oo le'eg sheqelka meesha quduuska ah (kaasu waa labaatan geeraah).
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.
Laakiinse dibigii curad ah, iyo curadka idaha, iyo curadka riyaha midnaba yaan la madax furin, iyagu waa quduus; haddaba dhiiggooda waa inaad meesha allabariga ku rushaysaa, oo baruurtoodana waa inaad u gubtaa qurbaan dab lagu gubo oo Rabbiga caraf udgoon u ah.
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.
Oo hilibkoodana waa inuu kaaga ahaadaa, oo sidii sakaarkii la ruxruxo iyo bowdadii midig adigaa iska leh.
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.”
Oo waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo dhan qurbaannadooda sare loo qaado oo ay reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga u bixiyaan ayaan adiga iyo wiilashaada iyo gabdhahaaga kula jooga u siiyey qayb joogto ah weligeed. Oo taasu waa axdi cusbo ah oo weligiis Rabbiga ku hor yaal, oo uu idinla dhigtay adiga iyo farcankaaga kula jiraba.
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.
Markaasaa Rabbigu Haaruun ku yidhi, Adigu dalkooda dhaxal kuma lahaan doonto, oo dhexdoodana innaba qayb kuma yeelan doonto. Aniga ayaa reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda ku ah qaybtaadii iyo dhaxalkaagiiba.
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.
Oo bal eeg, reer Laawina waxaan dhaxal u siiyey meeltobnaadka ay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan bixiyaan; taasu waa hawshooda ay qabtaan abaalgudkeedii, taasoo ah hawsha teendhada shirka.
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.
Oo hadda ka dib waa inaan reer binu Israa'iil u soo dhowaan teendhada shirka yaanay dembi qaadine oo dhimane.
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,
Laakiinse reer Laawi waa inay teendhada shirka ka adeegaan, oo ay dembigooda qaadaan: oo taasu waa inay idiin ahaataa qaynuun weligiin ab ka ab ah, oo iyagu reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda dhaxal kuma yeelan doonaan.
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.”
Waayo, waxaan reer Laawi dhaxal u siiyey meeltobnaadka ay reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga ugu bixiyaan qurbaan sare loo qaado, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaan iyaga ku idhi, Reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda dhaxal kuma lahaan doontaan.
25 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
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.
Weliba waxaad la hadashaa reer Laawi oo ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad reer binu Israa'iil dhaxal uga qaadataan meeltobnaadka aan idinka siiyey, markaas waa inaad Rabbiga uga bixisaan qurbaan sare loo qaado, oo ah meeltobnaadka meeltobnaadkiisa.
27 Just like the other Israelis give one tenth of the grain and wine that they produce,
Oo qurbaankiinna sare loo qaado wuxuu idiin tirsanaan doonaa sidii isagoo ah hadhuudhka meesha lagu tumo, iyo sida buuxsanaanta macsaradda canabka.
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.
Oo sidaas waa inaad idinku qurbaan sare loo qaado Rabbiga uga bixisaan meeltobnaadyadiinna oo dhan oo aad ka qaadataan reer binu Israa'iil, oo waa inaad Rabbiga qurbaankiisii sare loo qaado ka siisaan wadaadka Haaruun ah.
29 Select the best parts of the things that are given to you to give them to me.’
Oo hadiyadaha aad heshaan oo dhanba waa inaad ka bixisaan qurbaan kasta oo Rabbiga oo sare loo qaado intooda ugu wanaagsan oo ah inta ugu wada quduusan.
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.
Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Markii aad sare uga qaaddaan inta ugu wanaagsan, waxaa reer Laawi loogu tirinayaa sida hadhuudhka meesha wax lagu tumo yaal iyo sida midhaha canabka oo macsaradda yaal.
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.
Oo meel kastaad ku cuni doontaan idinka iyo reerihiinnuba, waayo, iyadu waa abaalgudkiinna aad ka heshaan hawsha aad ka qabataan teendhada shirka.
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.’”
Oo idinku taas aawadeed dembi u qaadi maysaan, markaad sare uga qaaddaan inteeda ugu wanaagsan; oo waa inaydaan nijaasayn waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil.
