Na Helu 18
1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, Maluna iho ou a mo au mau keiki, a me ka ohana a kou kupuna e ili ai ka hewa o ke keenakapu; a maluna iho ou a me au mau keiki e ili ai ka hewa o ka oihanakahuna.
So the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house must bear the iniquity involving the sanctuary. And you and your sons alone must bear the iniquity involving your priesthood.
2 A o kou poe hoahanau hoi o ka ohana a Levi, ka ohana a ou kupunakane, o lakou kau e lawe pu ai me oe, i hui pu ia'i me oe, a e lawelawo lakou na'u: aka o oe a me kau mau keiki me oe, imua o ka halelewa o ke kanawai oukou.
But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and assist you and your sons before the Tent of the Testimony.
3 A e malama lakou i kau oihana a me ka oihana o ka halelewa a pau: aole nae lakou e hele mai a kokoke i na ipu o ke keenakapu, a i ke kuahu, i ole ai lakou e make, aole hoi oukou.
And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties of the Tent; but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die.
4 A e hui pu ia lakou me oe, a e malama lakou i ka oihana o ka halelewa o ke anaina, no ka hana a pau o ka halelewa: aole no e hele mai ke kanaka e, a kokoke io oukou la.
They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.
5 A e malama oukou i ka oihana o ke keenakapu a me ka oihana o ke kuahu; i kau hou ole ai ka inaina maluna o na mamo a Ise-raela,
And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.
6 A owau nei la, ua lawe no wau i ko oukou poe hoahanau o na Levi, maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela: ua haawiia lakou no oukou, i haawina no Iehova, e lawelawe i ka hana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina.
Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.
7 Nolaila la, e malama oe a me au mau keiki me oe i ka oukou oihanakahuna no na mea a pau o ke kuahu, a maloko o ka paku: a e malama oukou; ua haawi aku au na oukou i ka oihanakahuna i oihana i haawi lokomaikai ia; a o ke kanaka e ae e hele wale mai a kokoke, e make ia.
But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”
8 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au ia oe i ka malama i ka'u mau mohaihoali, o na mea laa a pau a na mamo a Iseraela; ua haawi aku au ia mau mea nau, i kuleana nau a na kau mau keiki, ma ke kanawai mau loa.
Then the LORD said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.
9 O keia no kau no na mea laa loa, mai ke ahi mai: o na mohaimakana a pau a lakou, o na mohaiai a pau a lakou, o na mohaihala a pau a lakou, a o na mohailaweluila a lakou, na mea a lakou e haawi mai ai ia'u, e laa loa ia nau a na kau poe keiki.
A portion of the most holy offerings reserved from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings they render to Me as most holy offerings, whether grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.
10 Ma kahi hoano loa oe e ai ai ia mea: o na kane a pau e ai iho ia: he mea laa ia nau.
You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
11 Oia no nau; o ka mohaikaikai a lakou e haawi mai ai, a me na mohaihoali a pau a na mamo a Iseraela; ua haawi aku au ia mau mea nau, a na kau poe keikikane a me kau poe kaikamahine me oe ma ke kanawai mau loa; o ka poe maemae a pau iloko o kou hale, o lakou ke ai ia mea.
And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it.
12 O kahi momona a pau o ka aila, me kahi momona a pau o ka waina, a o ka palaoa, o na hua mua o ia mau mea, na mea a lakou e mohai iho ai na Iehova, oia mau mea ka'u i haawi aku ai nau.
I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.
13 O na mea a pau i oo mua ma ka aina, a lakou e lawe mai ai na Iehova, o kau ia; o ka poe a pau i maemae ma kou hale, e ai lakou ia.
The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.
14 O na mea a pau iloko o ka Iseraela i hoolaaia, nau no ia.
Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
15 O kela hiapo keia hiapo a na mea io a pau, a ke kanaka a me ka holoholona, na mea a lakou e lawe mai ai na Iehova, nau no lakou: aka, e panai aku oe i ka hiapo a kanaka, a o ka hanau mua a na holoholona maemae ole kau e panai ai.
The firstborn of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely redeem every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.
16 A o na mea e pono ke panai ia, mai ka malama hookahi o ka hanau ana kau e panai ai, ma kou manao ana, e like me na sekela elima, ma ka sekela o ke keenakapu, oia hoi na gera ho iwakalua.
You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your valuation: five shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs.
17 Aka, o ka hiapo a ka bipi, a o ka hiapo a ka hi pa, a o ka hiapo a ke kao paha, mai panai oe, ua laa ia mau mea; e pipi oe i ko lakou koko maluna o ke kuahu, a e puhi i ko lakou momona i mohai ma ke ahi, i mea ala ono no Iehova.
But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
18 A o ka io o ia mau mea, nau no ia, e like me ka umauma hoali a me ka uha mua akau, nau no ia.
And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
19 O na mohaikaikai a pau no na mea laa, na mea a na mamo a Iseraela e kaumaha ai na Iehova, oia ka'u i haawi aku ai nau, a na kau poe keikikane a me na kaikamahine me oe, ma ke kanawai mau loa: he berita paakai mau loa ia imua o Iehova nou, a no kau hua me oe.
All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”
20 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, Aohe ou aina hooilina ma ko lakou aina, aohe hoi kuleana ou iwaena o lakou: owau no kou kuleana a me kou hooilina iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.
21 Aia hoi, ua haawi aku no wau no na mamo a Levi i ka hapaumi iloko o ka Iseraela, i hooilina no ka hana a lakou e hana'i, oia ka hana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina kanaka.
Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting.
22 Aole hoi e hele mai na mamo a Iseraela a kokoke i ka halelewa o ke anaina ma keia hope aku, o lawehala lakou e make ai.
No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
23 Aka, e hana na Levi i ka oihana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, a e lawe lakou i ko lakou hewa iho. He kanawai mau loa ma na hanauna o oukou, aohe o lakou aina hooili iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
The Levites are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.
24 Aka, o ka hapaumi o ka na mamo a Iseraela, o La mea a lakou e kaumaha ai i mohaikaikai na Iehova, oia ka'u i haawi aku ai ua na Levi i mea hooili: nolaila ka'u i olelo aku ai ia lakou, Aohe o lakou aina hooili iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”
25 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la.
And the LORD instructed Moses,
26 Penei e olelo aku ai i na Levi, e i aku ia lakou, Aia lawe oukou i ka hapaumi mai na mamo a Iseraela aku, i ka mea a'u i haawi aku ai na oukou mai o lakou mai, i hooilina no oukou, alaila, e kaumaha aku ai oukou i ka mohaikaikai noloko mai o ia mea, na Iehova, i hookahi hapaumi o ua hapaumi la.
“Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe.
27 A e hooliloia ka oukou mohaikaikai no oukou e like me ka palaoa no ke kahua hehi palaoa, a me ka piha ana o ka waihona waina.
Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
28 Pela no hoi oukou e kanmaha ai i mohaikaikai na Iehova, noloko mai o na hapaumi a pau o oukou, i loaa ia oukou na na mamo a Iseraela mai; a noloko o keia mea ka oukou e haawi ai i ka mohaikaikai a Iehova na Aarona ke kahuna.
So you are to present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, and from these you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.
29 Noloko mai o ka oukou mau haawina a pau e kaumaha aku ai oukou i na mohaikaikai a pau a Iehova, noloko mai o kahi momona a pau o ia mea, o kahi laa ona, noloko o ia wahi.
You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
30 Nolaila, e olelo aku ai oe ia lakou, Aia hookaawale ae oukou i kahi momona ona mai ia mea aku, alaila, e hooliloia no na Levi e like me ka mea i loaa o ke kahua hehi palaoa, a me ka mea i loaa o ka waihona waina.
Therefore say to the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the produce of the threshing floor or winepress.
31 A e ai oukou ia mea ma kela wahi keia wahi, o oukou a me ko na hale o oukou, no ka mea, o ka oukou uku keia no ka oukou hana ana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina.
And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
32 Aole hoi oukou e lawe i ka hewa no ia mea, ia oukou i hookaawale ai i kahi momona o ia mea: aole no hoi oukou e hoohaumia i ua mea laa o na mamo a Iseraela, o make oukou.
Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”
