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 Jehovah saith unto Aaron, 'Thou, and thy sons, and the house of thy father with thee, do bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou, and thy sons with thee, do 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 also thy brethren, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring near with thee, and they are joined unto thee, and serve thee, even thou and thy sons with thee, before the tent of the testimony.

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 have kept thy charge, and the charge of all the tent; only, unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar they do not come near, and they die not, either they or you;

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 have been joined unto thee, and have kept the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and a stranger doth not come near unto 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 ye have kept the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the sons 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, lo, I have taken your brethren the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; to you a gift they are given by Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting;

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 thou, and thy sons with thee, do keep your priesthood, for everything of the altar, and within the vail, and ye have served; a service of gift I make your priesthood; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.'

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 Jehovah speaketh unto Aaron: 'And I, lo, I have given to thee the charge of My heave-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel — to thee I have given them for the anointing, and to thy sons, by a statute age-during.

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.

This is thine of the most holy things, from the fire: all their offering, to all their present, and to all their sin-offering, and to all their guilt-offering, which they give back to Me, is most holy to thee, and to thy 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 holy of holies thou dost eat it; every male doth eat it; holy it is to thee.

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 [is] thine: the heave-offering of their gift, to all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel, to thee I have given them, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute age-during; every clean one in thy house doth eat it;

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.

all the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and wheat — their first -[fruits] which they give to Jehovah — to thee I have 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.

'The first-fruits of all that [is] in their land, which they bring in to Jehovah, are thine; every clean one in thy house doth eat it;

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

every devoted thing in Israel is thine,

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.

every one opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to Jehovah, among man and among beast, is thine; only, thou dost certainly ransom the first-born of man, and the firstling of the unclean beast thou dost ransom.

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 their ransomed ones from a son of a month, thou dost ransom with thy valuation, of silver, five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary, twenty gerahs it [is].

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.

'Only, the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou dost not ransom, holy they [are]: their blood thou dost sprinkle on the altar, and of their fat thou makest perfume, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah,

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

and their flesh is thine, as the breast of the wave-offering, and as the right leg, it is thine;

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.

all the heave-offerings of the holy things which the sons of Israel lift up to Jehovah I have given to thee and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute age-during, a covenant of salt, age-during it [is] before Jehovah, to thee and to thy seed with thee.'

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 Jehovah saith unto Aaron, 'In their land thou dost not inherit, and a portion thou hast not in their midst: I [am] thy portion, and thine inheritance in the midst of the sons 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 to the sons of Levi, lo, I have given all the tenth in Israel for inheritance in exchange for their service which they are serving — the service of the tent of meeting.

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 sons of Israel come no more near unto the tent of meeting, to bear sin, to die,

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 Levites have done the service of the tent of meeting, and they — they bear their iniquity; a statute age-during to your generations, that in the midst of the sons of Israel they have no 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.

but the tithe of the sons of Israel which they lift up to Jehovah, a heave-offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said of them, In the midst of the sons of Israel they have no inheritance.'

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

And Jehovah speaketh unto 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.

'And unto the Levites thou dost speak; and thou hast said unto them, When ye take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given to you from them, for your inheritance, then ye have lifted up from it the heave-offering of Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe;

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

and your heave-offering hath been reckoned to you as corn from the threshing-floor, and as fulness from the wine-vat;

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 ye do lift up — ye also — the heave-offering of Jehovah from all your tithes which ye receive from the sons of Israel; and ye have given from it the heave-offering of Jehovah 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.

out of all your gifts ye do lift up the whole heave-offering of Jehovah; out of all its fat, — its hallowed part — out of 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 thou hast said unto them, In your lifting up its fat out of it, then it hath been reckoned to the Levites, as increase of a threshing-floor, and as increase of a wine-vat;

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 ye have eaten it in every place, ye and your households, for it [is] your hire in exchange for your service in the tent of meeting;

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 ye bear no sin for it, in your lifting up its fat out of it, and the holy things of the sons of Israel ye do not pollute, and ye die not.'
