Resansman 18

1 Seyè a di Arawon konsa: -Se ou menm, pitit gason ou yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun nan branch fanmi Levi a, ki va reskonsab tout bagay mal ki pase nan tant yo mete apa pou Bondye a. Men, se ou menm ak pitit gason ou yo ase ki va reskonsab tout bagay mal ki pase nan travay prèt yo gen pou fè a.

And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, You and your sons and your father's house shall bear the sins of the holy things, and you and your sons shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 W'a pran fanmi ou yo, moun branch fanmi Levi, granpapa ou la, w'a mete yo ansanm avè ou pou yo ka ede ou, pandan ou menm ak pitit gason ou yo, n'ap fè travay nou devan Tant Randevou a.

And take to yourself your brethren the tribe of Levi, the family of your father, and let them be joined to you, and let them minister to you; and you and your sons with you [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness.

3 Y'a fè tou sa yo gen pou yo fè pou ou, ak tou sa pou yo fè nan kay Bondye a. Men, se pa pou yo janm pwoche bò bagay yo mete apa pou Bondye yo, ni bò lotèl yo. Si yo fè sa, ni ou menm ni yo menm, n'ap mouri.

And they shall keep your charges, and the charges of the tabernacle; only they shall not approach the holy vessels and the altar, so both they and you shall not die.

4 Y'a travay ansanm avè ou, y'a fè tou sa y'a gen pou yo fè nan kay Bondye a, nan tout travay ki gen pou fèt nan kay Bondye a. Pesonn lòt pa gen dwa travay avè ou.

And they shall be joined to you, and shall keep the charges of the tabernacle of witness, in all the services of the tabernacle; and a stranger shall not approach to you.

5 Men, ou menm ak pitit gason ou yo, n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou nou fè nan kote ki apa pou Seyè a, tou sa nou gen pou nou fè pou lotèl la. Konsa, mwen p'ap janm fache ankò sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.

And you shall keep the charges of the holy things, and the charges of the altar, and [so] there shall not be anger amongst the children of Israel.

6 Se mwen menm ki te pran fanmi ou yo, moun Levi yo, ki te chwazi yo nan mitan tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, mwen mete yo apa pou mwen. Se mwen ki ba ou yo pou yo ka travay nan Tant Randevou a.

And I have taken your brethren the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, a present given to the Lord, to minister in the services of the tabernacle of witness.

7 Men, se ou menm sèl ak pitit gason ou yo ki pou fè travay prèt yo bò lotèl la ak dèyè rido a. Sa se travay pa nou sa. Mwen ban nou pouvwa pou nou sèvi m' prèt. Se yon kado mwen fè nou. Se pou yo touye nenpòt lòt moun ki va pwoche bò bagay yo mete apa pou mwen yo.

And you and your sons after you shall keep up your priestly ministration, according to the whole manner of the altar, and that which is within the veil; and you shall minister in the services as the office of your priesthood; and the stranger that comes near shall die.

8 Apre sa, Seyè a di Arawon konsa: -Chonje mwen pran yon pòsyon nan tout ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè pou mwen, mwen ba ou yo. Se va pòsyon ki va toujou rete pou ou ak pou pitit gason ou yo depi lè mwen te mete nou apa pou mwen an, dapre regleman ki la pou tout tan tout tan an.

And the Lord said to Aaron, And, behold, I have given you the charge of the first fruits of all things consecrated to me by the children of Israel; and I have given them to you as an honour, and to your sons after you for a perpetual ordinance.

9 Nan ofrann yo mete apa nèt pou mwen yo, lè ou fin wete pòsyon pou boule nan dife a, tout rès la va pou nou: tout ofrann grenn ki donnen nan jaden, tout ofrann pou mande Bondye padon, tout ofrann pou repare sa yo fè ki mal. Tou sa yo ofri ban mwen tankou yon ofrann yo mete apa pou mwen, se pou ou ak pou pitit gason ou yo y'a ye.

And let this be to you from all the holy things that are consecrated [to me, even] the burnt offerings, from all their gifts, and from all their sacrifices, and from every trespass-offering of theirs, and from all their sin-offerings, whatever things they give to me of all their holy things, they shall be your and your sons'.

10 N'a manje yo yon kote yo mete apa pou Seyè a. Se gason ase ki pou manje ladan yo. Konsidere ofrann sa yo tankou bagay ki apa pou Seyè a.

In the most holy place shall you eat them; every male shall eat them, you and your sons: they shall be holy to you.

11 Lèfini, tout ofrann espesyal moun pèp Izrayèl yo va fè pou yo balanse devan Seyè a, se pou ou yo va ye tou. M'ap ba ou yo pou ou, pou pitit gason ou yo ak pitit fi ou yo, dapre yon regleman k'ap la pou tout tan tout tan. Tout moun nan fanmi ou ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen va gen dwa manje ladan l'.

And this shall be to you of the first fruits of their gifts, of all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; to you have I given them and to your sons and your daughters with you, a perpetual ordinance; every clean person in your house shall eat them.

12 M'ap ba ou tou tousa ki pi bon nan premye fwi rekòt y'ap ofri bay Seyè a chak lanne: lwil oliv, diven ak grenn ki donnen nan jaden.

Every first-offering of oil, and every first-offering of wine, their first fruits of corn, whatever they may give to the Lord, to you have I given them.

13 Tout premye fwi ki mi nan peyi a, fwi yo ofri bay Seyè a, se va pou ou tou. Tout moun lakay ou ki nan kondisyon pou sèvi Seyè a va gen dwa manje ladan yo.

All the first fruits that are in their land, whatever they shall offer to the Lord, shall be your: every clean person in your house shall eat them.

14 Tout bagay moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran angajman mete apa pou Seyè a va pou ou tou.

Every devoted thing amongst the children of Israel shall be your.

15 Tout premye pitit, kit se pitit moun, kit se pitit bèt, y'a mete yo apa pou mwen, e se pou ou yo va ye tou. Men, se pou ou asepte yo peye ou pou chak premye pitit moun ak tout premye pitit bèt ki pa ka sèvi ofrann pou mwen.

And every thing that opens the womb of all flesh, whatever they bring to the Lord, whether man or beast, shall be your: only the firstborn of men shall be surely redeemed, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean cattle.

16 Lè premye pitit gason an va gen yon mwa, w'a fè yo peye ou senk pyès ajan dapre sistèm yo sèvi nan kay Bondye a, -vin gera pou yon pyès ajan-, pou yo ka achte lavi l' nan men m'.

And the redemption of them [shall be] from a month old; their valuation of five shekels—it is twenty oboli according to the holy shekel.

17 Men, pou premye ti mal yon manman bèf osinon yon manman kabrit ou ankò yon manman mouton fè, ou p'ap asepte anyen pou yo. Se bagay ki apa pou mwen nèt. Se pou yo touye yo. Y'a vide san yo sou lotèl la, w'a boule grès yo. Se va yon ofrann y'a boule nèt pou mwen, yon ofrann ki va fè m' plezi ak bon sant li.

But you shall not redeem the firstborn of calves and the firstborn of sheep and the firstborn of goats; they are holy: and you shall pour their blood upon the altar, and you shall offer the fat as a burnt offering for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.

18 Men, vyann yo va rete pou ou ansanm ak vyann pwatrin lan ak jigo dwat ki te deja pou ou a.

And the flesh shall be your, as also the breast of the wave-offering and as the right shoulder, it shall be your.

19 M'ap ba ou pou ou menm, pou pitit gason ak pitit fi ou yo tout pòsyon ki va rete nan ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo va mete apa pou mwen. Se va yon regleman k'ap la pou tout tan tout tan. Se yon kontra ki p'ap janm kase ni ki p'ap janm gate mwen fè la avèk ou, pou ou ak pou tout ras fanmi ou.

Every special offering of the holy things, whatever the children of Israel shall specially offer to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters with you, a perpetual ordinance: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, for you and your seed after you.

20 Apre sa, Seyè a di Arawon konsa: -Ou p'ap jwenn okenn pòsyon nan tè eritaj ki pou pèp la. Ou p'ap janm gen yon moso tè ki va rele ou pa ou nan peyi a. Se mwen menm ki tout ou, se mwen menm ki tout byen ou nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.

And the Lord said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion amongst them; for I [am] your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.

21 Seyè a di konsa: -Mwen mete tout ladim moun Izrayèl yo va bay la apa pou moun branch fanmi Levi yo, pou sèvis y'ap rann nan tanp lan, pou travay y'ap fè nan Tant Randevou a.

And, behold, I have given to the sons of Levi every tithe in Israel for an inheritance for their services, whenever they perform ministry in the tabernacle of witness.

22 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa janm bezwen preche bò Tant Randevou a. Konsa, yo p'ap rive fè yon peche ki pou ta fè yo mouri.

And the children of Israel shall no more draw near to the tabernacle of witness to incur fatal guilt.

23 Depi koulye a, se moun Levi yo ki va pran swen tout bagay nan Tant Randevou a. Y'a reskonsab pou tout bagay mal y'a fè. Sa se yon lòd sevè pou tout moun swiv de pitit an pitit. Se konsa yo menm tou, yo p'ap gen tè k'ap rele yo pa yo pou tout tan nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.

And the Levite himself shall perform the service of the tabernacle of witness; and they shall bear their iniquities, it is a perpetual statute throughout their generations; and in the midst of the children of Israel they shall not receive an inheritance.

24 M'ap bay moun Levi yo tout ladim moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran sou sa yo genyen pou ofri bay Seyè a. Se poutèt sa, mwen di moun fanmi Levi yo p'ap gen okenn pòsyon tè ki pou rele yo pa yo nan peyi Izrayèl la.

Because I have given as a distinct portion to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the children of Israel, whatever they shall offer to the Lord; therefore I said to them, In the midst of the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ankò, li di l':

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

26 -Pale ak moun Levi yo, di yo konsa: Lè n'a resevwa nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo ladim Seyè a ban nou pou byen pa nou, n'a wete yon dizyèm ladan l' pou mwen. Se va ofrann ladim pa nou bay Seyè a.

You shall also speak to the Levites, and shall say to them, If you take the tithe from the children of Israel, which I have given you from them for an inheritance, then shall you separate from it a heave-offering to the Lord, a tenth of the tenth.

27 Y'a konsidere ofrann sa a tankou ofrann lòt moun yo fè sou farin ble ak diven apre chak rekòt.

And your heave-offerings shall be reckoned to you as corn from the floor, and an offering from the wine-press.

28 Konsa, nou menm tou, n'a pran yon pòsyon nan tout ofrann ladim moun pèp Izrayèl yo va fè, n'a mete l' apa pou mwen. Epi n'a pran pòsyon nou wete pou Seyè a nan sa ki pou nou an, n'a bay Arawon, prèt la, li pou tèt pa li.

So shall you also separate them from all the offerings of the Lord out of all your tithes, whatever you shall receive from the children of Israel; and you shall give of them an offering to the Lord to Aaron the priest.

29 N'a pran sa ki pi bon nan tout sa ki pou nou an, n'a ofri l' bay Seyè a.

Of all your gifts you shall offer an offering to the Lord, and of every first-fruit the consecrated part from it.

30 W'a di yo tou: Lè moun Levi yo fin pran sa ki pi bon nan tou sa ki pou vin pou yo a, y'a konsidere rès ki rete a tankou rekòt farin ble ak diven yo menm yo fè.

And you shall say to them, When you shall offer the first fruits from it, then shall it be reckoned to the Levites as produce from the threshing floor, and as produce from the wine-press.

31 Y'a manje l' kote yo vle, ansanm ak tout moun lakay yo. Se tankou lajan yo ba yo pou travay y'ap fè nan Tant Randevou a.

And you shall eat it in any place, you and your families; for this is your reward for your services in the tabernacle of witness.

32 Depi nou ofri sa ki pi bon an bay Seyè a, nou mèt manje rès la san kè sote, anyen p'ap rive nou. Piga nou derespekte bagay moun pèp Izrayèl yo mete apa pou mwen. Si nou fè sa, n'ap mouri.

And you shall not bear sin by reason of it, for you shall have offered an offering of first fruits from it, and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you die not.
