Numbers 18
1 Yahweh said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your ancestor's clan will be responsible for all sins committed against the sanctuary. But only you and your sons with you will be responsible for all sins committed by anyone in the priesthood.
Pakaiyin Aaron heng ah thu asei jin, nangma na hin nachapate ahin, na insung Levite chilhah hon na boncha uva Hou-in Theng sung’a boina le suhkhel jouse chung’a mo na poh diu ahi. Chuleh Thempu natoh na chung chnag’a mopoh na jouse vang nang leh na chapate chung’a bou chu ding ahi,” ati.
2 As for your fellow members of the tribe of Levi, your ancestors' tribe, you must bring them with you so they may join you and help you when you and your sons serve in front of the tent of the covenant decrees.
“Na phung chanpi Levi chate ho chu nang leh na chapate toh Houbuh sung’a ki thokhom ding in, hin pui jin lang hung un, Kitepna Thingkong maija na toh diu kin hung tong pan tauvin,” ati.
3 They must serve you and the whole tent. However, they must not come near to anything in the holy place or connected with the altar, or they and also you will die.
Ahin Levite vang chu houbuh maichama natong ache teng ule, amaho chu ching thei tah a aum uva na atoh’u a ngaije. Maicham mun theng lam ah thilkeo ho komma nailut lou ding ahi. Hiche ho chu atham khah tah uva ahile nangma na hin, na sopi ho abon na nathi soh hel diu ahi.
4 They must join you and take care of the tent of meeting, for all the work connected with the tent. A foreigner must not come near you.
Levite tia kiminsah jouse houbuh maicham semna natoh na jouse jao cheh diu ahi. Ahinlah midang vang nangma toh natong’a nakitho pi dinga pang thei lou ding ahi.
5 You must take responsibility for the holy place and for the altar so that my anger does not come on the people of Israel again.
Houbuh maicham kintheng sunga natong, akimang cha ding ho ahin nangman hiche thupeh jouse hi chingthei tah na jui leh Pathen lung hanna nangho Israelte chunga um kit talou ding ahi.
6 Look, I myself have chosen your fellow members of the Levites from among the descendants of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to me to do the work connected to the tent of meeting.
Keima katah satah’a nangma Levite lah na natoh khompi ding Israelte ka lhen doh peh ding ahi. Amaho jouse chu nangma dia hung kipedoh diu Houbuh maicham kin theng na tong ding ahiuve.
7 But only you and your sons may exercise the priesthood regarding everything connected with the altar and everything inside the curtain. You yourselves must fulfill those responsibilities. I am giving you the priesthood as a gift. Any foreigner who approaches must be put to death.”
Ahin lah nangma nahin na chate jouse vang hiche kin theng maicham thempu natoh kiti jouse nanghon na tahsa tah’a na bol diu ahiye. Chuleh maicham phol sunga thil kimsel la pondal nung lam’a umjouse jong jaona ahi.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron, “Look, I have given you the duty of handling the offerings raised up to me, and all the holy offerings that the people of Israel give to me. I have given these offerings to you and your sons as your ongoing share.
Pakai thupeh jouse hi Aaron henga sei peh in hiche kinthenga Israel miten ahin toh hou chu vetup dinga ki nganse na hitai. Nangma nahin na chate ahin kin thenga hung ki tohdoh jouse hiche maichamma hohi atonsot nadia mopohna ahitai.
9 This will belong to you from the most holy things that is kept from the fire. From every offering of theirs—every grain offering, every sin offering, and every guilt offering—they are set apart to you and to your sons.
Nangma maicham kinthenga thupi pentah chu mopoh na nakipe ahitai meivam min ahal lhah lou beh ding, maicham athupi pentah hiche ho chu: lou ahin mim le changa maicham chonset jeh’a chule themmo na jeh’a maicham ho hi atheng chungnung maicham kiti ding hichu nangma ahin nachatea channa ding ahi.
10 These offerings are very holy; every male must eat it, for they are holy to you.
Nangman hiche maicham chu na toh ding, atheng chungnung pentah maicham jong ahin Pasal jouse anah thei cheh u ahi. Chuleh nangman hiche maicham hi atheng chung nunga na gel ding ahi.
11 These are the offerings that will belong to you, set apart out of all their gifts of the wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to you, your sons, and your daughters, as your portion forever. Everyone who is ceremonially clean in your family may eat any of these offerings.
Israel miten maicham kintheng ahung kitoh jouse ka masang’a pumgo thilto hung toh jouse aboncha a nangma’a hi ding ahin, hiche ho jouse aboncha nacha numei le pasal jouse nangho tonsot gouva dinga ka peh doh ahi tai. Nangma insung mite jouse koihi tah jong leh Pathen dantheng dungjuija kisutheng jouse hiche maicham kinthenga hung kitoh doh jouse’n aneh thei cheh ding ahi.
12 All the best of the oil, all the best of the new wine and grain, the firstfruits that the people give to me—all these things I have given to you.
Keiman nangma hi chavang lousoh jouse mipiten Pathen’na dia maicham ma ahin todoh jouse kapeh doh ahitai-Olive thao jouse chule lengpi tui athah chule louhing anche ga jouse chu ahi.
13 The first ripe produce of all that is in their land, which they bring to me, will be yours. Everyone who is clean in your family may eat these things.
Gamsunga louga ahung lhung masa jouse mipite ho jouse aboncha nangma ding ahin, nangma insunga aki sutheng jouse hiche maichamma hung kitoh doh jouse chu anehthei ding ahi.
14 Every devoted thing in Israel will be yours.
Israel gamsunga Pathen maicham tia hung kidoh doh jouse aboncha’a nangma nachan ding ahi.
15 Everything that opens the womb, all the firstborn which the people offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal, will be yours. Nevertheless, the people must certainly buy back every firstborn son, and they must buy back the firstborn male of unclean animals.
Minu akonna ahung pengdoh masa mihem makon hihen gancha konna hijong leh Pathenna dinga hung kipeh doh jouse chu nangma ading ahi. Ahinlah nangman nacha ahung pen masa khat pentah chu nahuh doh angaiyin chule gancha atheng louva peng jouse chu nasuh theng cheh angaiye.
16 Those that are to be bought back by the people must be bought back after becoming one month old. Then the people may buy them back, for the price of five shekels, by the standard weight of the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs.
Amaho jouse chu suhtheng in lhakhat ahung lhing tengle, hiche ho suhthengna ding mun chu sum-eng peh nga tobang ahin shekel somni tobang ahi.
17 But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat—you must not buy back these animals; they are set apart to me. You must sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to Yahweh.
Ahinlah nangman na huhdoh lou ding chu na suhtheng lou ding ho chu kelcha, kelngoi chule bongnou apeng masa pentah ho chu hiche gancha hochu Pakaiyin asuhtheng ahi tan, athisan hochu maicham thekhum inlang athao chu meiya halvam ma thilpeh giltah bang nga gim namtui tah’a Pathen’na ki tohdoh ding ahi.
18 Their meat will be yours. Like the raised breast and the right thigh, their meat will be yours.
Hiche gancha a saphe hohi nangma na chan ding ahi. A Op-phang aje tlam saphe ho chule ahung kidom sanga Pathen’a dinga hung kikat doh jouse jaona ahi.
19 All the holy offerings that the people of Israel present to Yahweh, I have given to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a continual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt, a binding covenant forever, before Yahweh for both you and your descendants with you.”
Keiman nangma kapeh nahi hiche maicham atheng dinga Israel miten Pathen henga ahin toh doh ho hi. Hiche hohi nangma dinga na chate pasal ahin numei hon atonsot’a chan nei thei dinga hiche kitepna hi Pathen le nangma kikah’a ki timatna akeh thei lou beh ding ahiye. Hichu nangma ding ahin khonung’a na chilhah te jouse ading jong ahi.
20 Yahweh said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in the people's land, nor will you have any share of property among the people. I am your share and inheritance among the people of Israel.
Chuin Pathen in Aaron chu ahoulimpi tan, Israel mipite jouse masanga thempua pang ho leiset anei thei lou dingu ahi. Mipi hotoh jong nei leh gou kikop thei lou ding ahiuve keiman nanei nagou chule ijakai pijia kahi.
21 To the descendants of Levi, look, I have given all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the service that they provide in working at the tent of meeting.
Nangma insung mite naphung chan khompi Levite chun houbuh maicham natoh ho jouse chu keima gam leiset anei khel uva Israel mipia konna gam leiset a konna hopsom kipe ding ahi.
22 From now on the people of Israel must not come near the tent of meeting, or they will be responsible for this sin and die.
Tu apat Israel chilhah hi jeng jong leh Levi phung chule thempu tilou koima chan houbuh kom aphal thei lou ding ahi tai. Amaho chun kinai tah’a jong ahin nai lut lou ding, ahin nailut tah uva ahileh thepmo chang ding’u chule thilo ding ahiuve.
23 The Levites must do the work connected to the tent of meeting. They will be responsible for any sin regarding it. This will be a permanent law throughout your people's generations. Among the people of Israel they must have no inheritance.
Levite chilhah hon bou houbuh muna na-atoh thei dingu, itih ham khatna boina aum leh amahon mopohna anei ding’u ahi. Hichu nangma dia a-itih a jui ding’a longlou ding dan kipe ahi.
24 For the tithes of the people of Israel, which they offer as a contribution to me—it is these that I have given to the Levites as their inheritance. That is why I said to them, 'They must have no inheritance among the people of Israel.'”
Ajehchu keiman Israelte chu hopsom ka peh sah ding hichu amahon maicham thenga ahin peh dingu ahi. Hiche ho jouse hi Levite chanvou ding ahin ajeh chu Leviten gamtum achombeh a anei thei lou diu ahi.
25 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
Pakaiyin Mose henga thu hichengse hi aseijin.
26 “You must speak to the Levites and say to them, 'When you receive from the people of Israel the tenth that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tenth of the tithe.
Anoija thu kapeh hohi Levite seipeh in; Israel mipite hopsom todoh hochu keiman kana sei peh nanghon chan vou nasan ding uchu ahi. Hijeh’a chu Nanghon hiche alamdoh hou chu hopsom ma hopkhat apeh diu, Pakai, Pathen komma alhandoh diu, hichu maicham kintheng bol ah nangho a ding ahi.
27 Your contribution must be considered by you as if it were a tenth of the grain from the threshing floor or of the production from the winepress.
Pakai, Pathen in hiche maicham na hin tohdoh ho chu nangma lou gasoh nato bang uva asim ding, na changphol a kivolha masa pen ahi louleh na Lengpi tui lhohlhah masapen bang’a asan ding ahi.
28 So you also must make a contribution to Yahweh from all the tithes that you receive from the people of Israel. From them you must give his contribution to Aaron the priest.
Nangman Israelte maicham theng ahin touchu hopsomma khat Pathen’a dia napeh ngai ding ahi. Hiche hi Pathnenna dinga chanvou thempu Aaron chu na peh ding ahi.
29 Out of all the gifts you receive, you must make every contribution to Yahweh. You must do this from all the best and the holiest things that have been given to you.'
Pathen in thilpeh na peh’u nanghon jong Pakai, Pathen chu apha pentah ahoi pentah peuvin, ati.
30 Therefore you must say to them, 'When you present the best of it, then it must be credited to the Levites as the product from the threshing floor and the winepress.
Chule hiche thupeh najui ding akilom ho Levite seipeh tan nangman na maicham apha ahoi pentah ho na hin toh teng leh hiche ho chu nangma lousohga ahiloule nangma lengpi lei laiya bang tah anaki simpeh ding ahiye.
31 You may eat the rest of your gifts in any place, you and your families, because it is your pay in return for your work in the tent of meeting.
Levite jouse nangma nahin na sopi na insung mijouse hiche na ankong hi hoi kom hijong leh naneh thei cheh diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pathen houbuh maicham na natoh jeh uva ahi.
32 You will not incur any guilt by eating and drinking it, if you have presented to Yahweh the best of what you have received. But you must not profane the holy offerings of the people of Israel, or you will die.'”
Thempu hohi apha pentah ahoi pentah napeh leh Pathen na ding nga hopsom ma hung kitoh chu naneh chun themmo nachan lou ding ahi. Ahinlah nangma chingtheiyin Israel miten thil theng tah ahin todoh hou chu imacha theng lou tah in geldan imacha na geldah khah le na thi lo jeng thei ahiye.
