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.
Yahweh said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your ancestor's clan will be responsible for all sins committed against the sanctuary. But only you and your sons with you will be responsible for all sins committed by anyone in the 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.
As for your fellow members of the tribe of Levi, your ancestors' tribe, you must bring them with you so they may join you and help you when you and your sons serve in front of the tent of the covenant decrees.
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.
They must serve you and the whole tent. However, they must not come near to anything in the holy place or connected with the altar, or they and also 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 must join you and take care of the tent of meeting, for all the work connected with the tent. A foreigner must not 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,
You must take responsibility for the holy place and for the altar so that my anger does not come on the people of Israel 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.
Look, I myself have chosen your fellow members of the Levites from among the descendants of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to me to do the work connected to 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 may exercise the priesthood regarding everything connected with the altar and everything inside the curtain. You yourselves must fulfill those responsibilities. I am giving you the priesthood as a gift. Any foreigner who approaches 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 Yahweh said to Aaron, “Look, I have given you the duty of handling the offerings raised up to me, and all the holy offerings that the people of Israel give to me. I have given these offerings to you and your sons as your ongoing share.
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.
This will belong to you from the most holy things that is kept from the fire. From every offering of theirs—every grain offering, every sin offering, and every guilt offering—they are set apart to you and to 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.
These offerings are very holy; every male must eat it, for they are holy to 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.
These are the offerings that will belong to you, set apart out of all their gifts of the wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to you, your sons, and your daughters, as your portion forever. Everyone who is ceremonially clean in your family may eat any of these offerings.
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 best of the oil, all the best of the new wine and grain, the firstfruits that the people give to me—all these things 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.
The first ripe produce of all that is in their land, which they bring to me, will be yours. Everyone who is clean in your family may eat these things.
14 O na mea a pau iloko o ka Iseraela i hoolaaia, nau no ia.
Every devoted thing in Israel will 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.
Everything that opens the womb, all the firstborn which the people offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal, will be yours. Nevertheless, the people must certainly buy back every firstborn son, and they must buy back the 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.
Those that are to be bought back by the people must be bought back after becoming one month old. Then the people may buy them back, for the price of five shekels, by the standard weight of the sanctuary shekel, which equals 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 the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat—you must not buy back these animals; they are set apart to me. You must sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to Yahweh.
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.
Their meat will be yours. Like the raised breast and the right thigh, their meat will 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 holy offerings that the people of Israel present to Yahweh, I have given to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a continual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt, a binding covenant forever, before Yahweh for both you and your descendants with you.”
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.
Yahweh said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in the people's land, nor will you have any share of property among the people. I am your share and inheritance among the people 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.
To the descendants of Levi, look, I have given all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the service that they provide in working at 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.
From now on the people of Israel must not come near the tent of meeting, or they will be responsible for this sin 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 must do the work connected to the tent of meeting. They will be responsible for any sin regarding it. This will be a permanent law throughout your people's generations. Among the people of Israel they must have no inheritance.
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 the tithes of the people of Israel, which they offer as a contribution to me—it is these that I have given to the Levites as their inheritance. That is why I said to them, 'They must have no inheritance among the people of Israel.'”
25 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la.
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
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.
“You must speak to the Levites and say to them, 'When you receive from the people of Israel the tenth that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tenth 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 contribution must be considered by you as if it were a tenth of the grain from the threshing floor or of the production 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 also must make a contribution to Yahweh from all the tithes that you receive from the people of Israel. From them you must give his contribution 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.
Out of all the gifts you receive, you must make every contribution to Yahweh. You must do this from all the best and the holiest things that have been given to you.'
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 you must say to them, 'When you present the best of it, then it must be credited to the Levites as the product from the threshing floor and the 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.
You may eat the rest of your gifts in any place, you and your families, because it is your pay in return for your work in 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.
You will not incur any guilt by eating and drinking it, if you have presented to Yahweh the best of what you have received. But you must not profane the holy offerings of the people of Israel, or you will die.'”
