Ƙidaya 18
1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Haruna, “Kai da’ya’yanka, da kuma iyalin mahaifinka za ku ɗauki hakkin abin da ya shafi Tentin Sujada, kai da’ya’yanka kaɗai za ku ɗauki hakkin aikinku wanda ya shafi firistoci.
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.
2 Ka kawo’yan’uwanka Lawiyawa daga kabilar kakanka tare da kai, don su taimake ka sa’ad da kai da’ya’yanka kuke hidima a gaban Tentin Sujada.
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.
3 Za su kasance a ƙarƙashinka, su ne kuma za su yi dukan hidima ta Tenti, amma kada su je kusa da kayayyakin wuri mai tsarki, ko bagade, in ba haka ba, da kai da su, za ku mutu.
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!
4 Za su haɗa hannu tare da kai su ɗauki nauyin lura da Tentin Sujada, dukan ayyuka a Tenti, ba kuma wanda zai zo kusa da inda kake.
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.
5 “Kai ne za ka ɗauki nauyin lura da wuri mai tsarki da bagade, domin kada fushi yă sāke fāɗa a kan Isra’ilawa.
“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.
6 Ni da kaina na zaɓo’yan’uwanka Lawiyawa daga cikin Isra’ilawa a matsayin kyauta a gare ku, keɓaɓɓu don Ubangiji, domin su yi hidima a Tentin Sujada.
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.
7 Amma kai ne kaɗai da’ya’yanka za ku yi aiki a matsayin firistoci game da kowane abu a Tentin Sujada da kuma bayan labule. Ina ba ka aikin firist, yă zama naka. Duk wani kuma da ya zo kusa da wuri mai tsarki, dole a kashe shi.”
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.”
8 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Haruna, “Na ba ka aikin lura da hadayun da za a miƙa mini, dukan tsarkakan hadayun da Isra’ilawa suka ba ni, na ba ka su su zama rabonka da na’ya’yanka har abada.
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.
9 Kai za ka riƙe sashe mafi tsarki na hadayun da suka ragu daga wuta. Daga dukan kyautai mafi tsarki na hadayun da suka miƙa mini, ko ta gari, ko don zunubi, ko kuma don laifi, wannan kashi naka ne da’ya’yanka.
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.
10 Ku ci shi a matsayin abu mafi tsarki; kowane namiji zai ci. Dole ku ɗauke shi da tsarki.
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.
11 “Har yanzu kuma duk abin da aka keɓe daga kyautai na dukan hadayun kaɗawa na Isra’ilawa naka ne. Na ba da wannan gare ka da’ya’yanka maza da mata, a kowane lokaci. Kowa da yake da tsarki a gidanka zai iya ci.
“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.
12 “Na ba ka duk man zaitun mafi kyau, da ruwan inabi mafi kyau duka, da hatsi mafi kyau duka na nunan farinsu da suke bayarwa ga Ubangiji.
“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.
13 Dukan nunan fari na ƙasar da suke kawo wa Ubangiji, zai zama naka. Kowa da yake da tsarki a gidanka zai iya ci.
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.
14 “Kome a Isra’ila da aka keɓe wa Ubangiji, zai zama naka.
“Everything in Israel that is set apart to belong to me also belongs to you.
15 Kowane haihuwar fari, ta mutum, ko ta dabba da suka miƙa wa Ubangiji, naka ne. Amma ka fanshi kowace haihuwar fari ta mutum, ko ta dabbar da take haram.
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.
16 Sa’ad da suke wata ɗaya da haihuwa, dole a fanshe su a bakin shekel biyar-biyar, bisa ga ma’aunin shekel na tsattsarkan wuri da ake amfani da shi, wanda nauyinsa ya kai gera ashirin.
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.
17 “Amma kada ka fanshe ɗan fari na saniya, tunkiya, ko akuya; gama suna da tsarki. Ka yayyafa jininsu a bisan bagade, ka kuma ƙone kitsensu kamar hadayar da ka yi da wuta, mai daɗin ƙanshi ga Ubangiji.
“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.
18 Namansu zai zama naka, haka ma ƙirji na kaɗawa da cinyar dama za su zama naka.
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.
19 Kome da aka keɓe daga tsarkakakku hadayun da Isra’ilawa suka miƙa wa Ubangiji, na ba ka, da kai da’ya’yanka maza da mata a matsayin zaunannen rabo. Wannan madawwamin alkawarin gishiri ne a gaban Ubangiji dominka da zuriyarka.”
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.”
20 Ubangiji ya ce wa Haruna, “Ba ka da gādo a ƙasarsu, ba kuwa za ka sami rabo daga cikinsu ba; ni ne rabonka da gādonka a cikin Isra’ilawa.
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.
21 “Na ba wa Lawiyawa dukan zakka na Isra’ilawa a matsayin gādonsu, saboda aikin da suke yi yayinda suke hidima a Tentin Sujada.
“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.
22 Daga yanzu zuwa gaba, kada Isra’ilawa su yi kusa da Tentin Sujada, in ba haka ba kuwa su sha hukuncin zunubinsu, su kuma mutu.
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.
23 Lawiyawa ne za su yi aikin Tentin Sujada, su kuma ɗauki nauyin kowane laifin da aka aikata a wurin. Wannan za tă zama dawwammamiyar farilla ce daga yanzu har tsararraki masu zuwa. Ba za su sami gādo a cikin Isra’ilawa ba.
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,
24 A maimako haka, na ba wa Lawiyawa zakka da Isra’ilawa suka kawo domin hadaya ga Ubangiji, a matsayin gādonsu. Shi ya sa na ce game da su, ‘Ba su da gādo a cikin Isra’ilawa.’”
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.”
25 Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
26 “Ka yi wa Lawiyawa magana, ka ce musu, ‘Sa’ad da kuka karɓi zakka daga Isra’ila da na ba ku gādo, dole ku miƙa kashi ɗaya bisa goma na wannan zakka a matsayin hadaya ga Ubangiji.
“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.
27 Za a lissafta hadayarku kamar hatsin da aka sussuka daga masussuka, ko ruwan inabi daga wurin matsewar inabi.
Just like the other Israelis give one tenth of the grain and wine that they produce,
28 Ta haka za ku miƙa hadaya ga Ubangiji daga cikin dukan zakkar da kuka karɓa daga wurin Isra’ilawa. Daga waɗannan zakka kuwa dole ku ba Haruna firist rabon Ubangiji.
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.
29 Dole ku miƙa wa Ubangiji rabo mafi kyau da kuma sashi mafi tsarki na kowane abin da aka ba ku.’
Select the best parts of the things that are given to you to give them to me.’
30 “Ka faɗa wa Lawiyawa cewa, ‘Sa’ad da kuka miƙa sashi mafi kyau, za a lissafta shi a matsayin abin da ya fito daga masussuka, ko wurin matsewar ruwan inabi ne.
“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.
31 Da kai da gidanka, za ku iya cin abin da ya rage a ko’ina, gama ladan aikinku ne a Tentin Sujada.
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.
32 Ta wurin miƙa masa sashi mafi kyau, ba za ku zama masu laifi a wannan batu ba; ta haka ba za ku ƙazantar da tsarkakakkun hadayu na Isra’ilawa ba, ba kuwa za ku mutu ba.’”
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.’”
