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.
Och Herren sade till Aaron: Du och dine söner, och dins faders hus med dig, skolen bära helgedomens missgerning; och du och dine söner med dig skolen bära edars Presterskaps missgerning.
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.
Men dine bröder af Levi dins faders slägte skall du taga till dig, att de äro när dig, och tjena dig; men du och dine söner med dig skolen tjena inför vittnesbördsens tabernakel.
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!
Och de skola taga vara på din tjenst, och hela tabernaklets tjenst; dock skola de intet nalkas intill helgedomens tyg, och till altaret, att både de och I icke skolen dö;
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.
Utan de skola vara när dig, att de taga vara uppå vittnesbördsens tabernakels tjenst, uti all tabernaklets ämbete; och ingen främmande skall nalkas eder.
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.
Så akter nu uppå helgedomens tjenste, och uppå altarens tjenste, att icke mer en vrede kommer öfver Israels barn.
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.
Ty si, jag hafver tagit edra bröder Leviterna ut ifrån Israels barn, och gifvit eder Herranom till en skänk, att de skola taga vara på ämbetet vid vittnesbördsens tabernakel.
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.”
Men du och dine söner med dig skolen akta på edart Presterskap, att I tjenen uti all altarens handel, och innanför förlåten; ty edart Presterskap gifver jag eder till ett ämbete för en gåfvo; om någor främmande går härtill, han skall dö.
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.
Och Herren sade till Aaron: Si, jag hafver gifvit dig mitt häfoffer, af allt det som Israels barn helga, för ditt Prestaämbete, och dinom sönom till en evig rätt.
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.
Detta skall du hafva af det aldrahelgasta, som de offra: Alla deras gåfvor med allt deras spisoffer, och med allt deras syndoffer, och med allt deras skuldoffer, som de mig gifva, det skall vara dig och dinom sönom det aldrahelgasta.
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.
På aldrahelgasta rum skall du äta det; hvad mankön är, skall deraf äta; ty det skall vara dig heligt.
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.
Jag hafver ock gifvit dig och dinom sönom, och dinom döttrom med dig, deras gåfvors häfoffer, i allo Israels barnas veftoffre till en evig rätt: Den som ren är i dino huse, han skall äta deraf.
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.
Alla bästa oljo, och all bästa vinmust, och deras förstlingskorn, det som de gifva Herranom, hafver jag gifvit dig.
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.
Den första frukten af allt det i deras lande är, det som de bära Herranom, skall vara ditt; den som ren är i dino huse, han skall äta deraf.
14 “Everything in Israel that is set apart to belong to me also belongs to you.
Allt det spillgifvet är i Israel, skall vara ditt.
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.
Allt det som moderlif öppnar ibland allt kött, det som de bära Herranom, vare sig menniska eller fänad, skall vara ditt; dock så, att du den första fruktena af mennisko låter lösa, och den första frukten af en oren fänad också lösa låter;
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.
Och skola de lösa det, när det är en månad gammalt; och skall gifvat till lösen för penningar, för fem siklar efter helgedomens sikel, hvilken tjugu gera gäller.
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.
Men den första frukten af fä eller får, eller get, skall du icke till lösen gifva; ty de äro helig. Deras blod skall du stänka på altaret, och deras feta skall du uppbränna till en söt lukts offer Herranom.
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.
Deras kött skall vara ditt, såsom ock veftebröstet, och högre bogen din är.
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.”
Allt häfoffer, som Israels barn helga Herranom, hafver jag gifvit dig och dinom sönom, och dinom döttrom med dig till en evig rätt; det skall vara ett oförgängeligit och evigt förbund för Herranom, dig och dine säd med dig.
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.
Och Herren sade till Aaron: Du skall ingen besittning hafva i deras land, och ingen lott hafva med dem; ty jag är din lott, och ditt arfvegods ibland Israels barn.
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.
Men Levi barn hafver jag gifvit all tionde i Israel till ett arfvegods, för deras ämbete, som de göra mig vid vittnesbördsens tabernakel;
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.
Så att härefter Israels barn intet skola nalkas intill vittnesbördsens tabernakel, till att komma sig i synd och dö;
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,
Utan Leviterna skola akta på ämbetet vid vittnesbördsens tabernakel, och de skola bära deras synder till en evig rätt till edra efterkommande; och de skola intet arfvegods besitta ibland Israels barn.
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.”
Ty Israels barnas tiond, som de häfoffra Herranom, hafver jag gifvit Leviterna till arfvegods; derföre hafver jag sagt till dem, att de ibland Israels barn intet arfvegods besitta skola.
25 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Och Herren talade med Mose, och sade:
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.
Tala till de Leviter, och säg till dem: När I tagen tionden af Israels barn, den jag eder af dem gifvit hafver till edart arfvegods, så skolen I göra Herranom deraf ett häfoffer, ju tiond af tiond;
27 Just like the other Israelis give one tenth of the grain and wine that they produce,
Och skolen sådana edart häfoffer hålla såsom I gåfven korn af ladone, och fyllo af pressen.
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.
Alltså skolen I ock gifva Herranom häfoffer af allo edro tiond, som I tagen af Israels barnom; så att I sådant Herrans häfoffer gifven Prestenom Aaron.
29 Select the best parts of the things that are given to you to give them to me.’
Utaf allt, det eder gifvet varder, skolen I gifva Herranom allahanda häfoffer, af allt det bästa, som deraf helgadt varder.
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.
Och säg till dem: När I alltså det bästa deraf häfoffren, så skall det Levitomen räknadt varda, lika som det af ladone, och såsom det af pressen gåfves.
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.
Och I mågen det äta allestäds, I och edor barn; ty det är edor lön för edart ämbete uti vittnesbördsens tabernakel.
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.’”
Så synden I icke deröfver, när I häfoffren det feta deraf, och icke ohelgen det Israels barn helgat hafva, att I icke dön.
