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.

And the Lord said to Aaron: “You, and your sons, and the house of your father with you, shall carry the iniquity of the Sanctuary. And you and your sons together shall bear the sins of 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 take to yourselves also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, and the scepter of your father, and may they be prepared, and may they minister to you. Then you and your sons shall minister in the tabernacle 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 the Levites shall stand watch by your precepts, and for all the works of the tabernacle; yet in such a manner that they shall not approach the vessels of the Sanctuary and of the altar, lest both they die, and you perish, at the same time.

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.

But they may be with you, and they may watch over the care of the tabernacle and all its ceremonies. A foreigner shall not be mixed with 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,

Watch over the care of the Sanctuary, and over the ministry of the altar, lest an indignation may rise over the sons of Israel.

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.

I have given your brothers, the Levites, to you from the midst of the sons of Israel, and I have delivered them as a gift to the Lord, in order to serve in the ministries of his tabernacle.

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 as for you and your sons: guard the priesthood. For all that pertains to the service of the altar and of what is beyond the veil shall be exercised by the priests. If any outsider will approach, he shall be killed.”

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.

And the Lord said to Aaron: “Behold, I have given you custody of my first-fruits. Everything that is sanctified by the sons of Israel I have delivered to you and your sons, for the office of the priesthood, by everlasting ordinances.

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.

Therefore, you shall receive these, from the things that are sanctified and offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatever is repaid to me, on behalf of sin and also for offenses, and which becomes the Holy of holies, shall be for you and for 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 shall eat it in the Sanctuary. Only the males shall eat from it, because it has been consecrated for you.

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.

But the first-fruits, which the sons of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to you, and to your sons, as well as to your daughters, by a perpetual right. Whoever is clean in your house shall eat them.

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.

All the innermost of the oil, and of the wine, and of the grain, whatever first-fruits they offer to the Lord, I have given to you.

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.

All the first of the crops, which the soil produces and which are carried to the Lord, shall fall to your use. Whoever is clean in your house shall eat them.

14 O na mea a pau iloko o ka Iseraela i hoolaaia, nau no ia.

All that the sons of Israel shall repay by vow shall be yours.

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.

Whatever goes out first from the womb, of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether from men or from cattle, shall be your right; yet only in so far as, for the firstborn of man, you shall accept a price. And every animal that is unclean you shall cause to be redeemed.

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.

And its redemption shall be, after one month, five shekels of silver, by the weight of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.

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 the firstborn of a cow, or of a sheep, or of a goat, you shall not cause to be redeemed, because they have been sanctified to the Lord. Thus, their blood you shall pour out upon the altar, and their fat you shall burn as a most sweet odor 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.

Yet truly, the flesh shall fall to your use, just as the consecrated breast and the right shoulder shall be yours.

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 first-fruits of the Sanctuary, which the sons of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons as well as to your daughters, as a perpetual right. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the Lord, for you and for your sons.”

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.

And the Lord said to Aaron: “In their land, you shall possess nothing; neither shall you have a portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.

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.

But I have given, to the sons of Levi, all the tithes of Israel as a possession, for the ministry by which they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant,

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.

so that the sons of Israel may no longer approach to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin.

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.

Only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle and may carry the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall possess nothing else;

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.

being content with the oblation of tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.”

25 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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.

“Instruct the Levites, and also declare to them: When you will receive, from the sons of Israel, the tithes, which I have given to you, offer their first-fruits to the Lord, that is, the tenth part of a tenth,

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.

so that it may be accounted to you as an oblation of the first-fruits, as much from the threshing floors as from the oil and wine presses.

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.

And offer the first-fruits of everything, from which you receive tithes, to the Lord, and give them 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.

Everything which you shall offer from the tithes, and which you shall separate as gifts to the Lord, shall be the finest and most select.

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.

And you shall say to them: ‘If you offer the noble and the better of the tithes, it shall be accounted to you as if you had given from the first-fruits of the threshing floor and of the oil and wine presses.’

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 shall eat these in all your places, both you and your families, because it is your price for the ministry, by which you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.

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.

And you shall not sin in this way: by reserving the excellent and fat things for yourselves, lest you pollute the oblations of the sons of Israel, and lest you die.”
