民数記 18

1 斯てヱホバ、アロンに告て言たまはく汝と汝の子等および汝の父祖の家の者は聖所に關れる罪をその身に擔當べしまた汝と汝の子等は汝らがその祭司の職について獲ところの罪をその身に擔當べし

And the Lord said to Aaron: Thou, and thy sons, and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the sins of your priesthood.

2 汝また汝の兄弟たるレビの支派の者すなはち汝の父祖の支派の者等をも率て汝に合せしめ汝に事しむべし但し汝と汝の子等は律法の幕屋の前に侍るべきなり

And take with thee thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, and the sceptre of thy father, and let them be ready in hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons shall minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.

3 彼らは汝の職守と聖所の職守とを守るべし只聖所の器具と壇とに近くべからず恐くは彼等も汝等も死るならん

And the Levites shall watch to do thy commands, and about all the works of the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary nor the altar, lest both they die, and you also perish with them.

4 彼等は汝に合して集合の幕屋の職守を守り幕屋の諸の役事をなすべきなり外人は汝らに近づく可らず

But let them be with thee, and watch in the charge of the tabernacle, and in all the ceremonies thereof. A stranger shall not join himself with you.

5 斯なんぢらは聖所の職守と祭壇の職守を守るべし然せばヱホバの震怒かさねてイスラエルの子孫に及ぶこと有じ

Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel.

6 視よ我なんぢらの兄弟たるレビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より取りヱホバのために之を賜物として汝らに賜ふて集會の幕屋の役事を爲しむ

I have given you your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, and have delivered them for a gift to the Lord, to serve in the ministries of the tabernacle.

7 汝と汝の子等は祭司の職を守りて祭壇の上と障蔽の幕の内の一切の事を執おこなひ斯ともに勤むべし我祭司の職の勤務と賜物として汝らに賜ふ外人の近く者は殺されん

But thou and thy sons look ye to the priesthood: and all things that pertain to the service of the altar, and that are within the veil, shall be executed by the priests. If any stranger shall approach, he shall be slain.

8 ヱホバ又アロンに言たまはく我イスラエルの子孫の諸の聖禮物の中我に擧祭とするところの者をもて汝に賜ひて得さす即ち我これを汝と汝の子等にあたへてその分となさしめ是を永く例となす

And the Lord said to Aaron: Behold I have given thee the charge of my firstfruits. All things that are sanctified by the children of Israel, I have delivered to thee and to thy sons for the priestly office, by everlasting ordinances.

9 斯のごとく至聖禮物の中火にて燒ざる者は汝に歸すべし即ちその我に献る諸の禮物素祭罪祭愆祭等みな至聖くして汝と汝らの子等に歸すべし

These therefore shalt thou take of the things that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatsoever is rendered to me for sin and for trespass, and becometh holy of holies, shall be for thee and thy sons.

10 至聖所にて汝これを食ふべし男子等はみなこれを食ふことを得是は汝に歸すべき聖物たるなり

Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.

11 汝に歸すべき物は是なり即ちイスラエルの子孫の献る擧祭と搖祭の物我これを汝と汝の男子と女子に與へ是を永く例となす汝の家の者の中潔き者はみな之を食ふことを得るなり

But the firstfruits, which the children of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, by a perpetual law. He that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.

12 油の嘉者酒の嘉者穀物の嘉者など凡てヱホバに献るその初の物を我なんぢに與ふ

All the best of the oil, and of the wine, and of the corn, whatsoever firstfruits they offer to the Lord, I have given them to thee.

13 最初に成る國の產物の中ヱホバに携へたる者は皆なんぢに歸すべし汝の家の者の中潔き者はみな之を食ふことを得るなり

All the firstripe of the fruits, that the ground bringeth forth, and which are brought to the Lord, shall be for thy use: he that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.

14 イスラエルの人の献納る物は皆汝に歸すべし

Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.

15 凡そ血肉ある者の首出子にしてヱホバに献らるる者は人にもあれ畜にもあれ皆なんぢに歸すべし但し人の首出子は必ず贖ふべくまた汚れたる畜獣の首出子も贖ふべきなり

Whatsoever is firstborn of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beasts, shall belong to thee: only for the firstborn of man thou shalt take a price, and every beast that is unclean thou shalt cause to be redeemed,

16 之を贖ふにはその人の生れて一箇月に至れる後に汝その估價に依り聖所のシケルに循ひて銀五シケルに之を贖ふべし一シケルはすなはち二十ゲラなり

And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

17 然ど牛の首出子羊の首出子山羊の首出子は贖ふべからず是等は聖しその血を壇の上に灑ぎまたその脂を焚て火祭となしてヱホバに馨しき香をたてまつるべし

But the firstling of a cow and of a sheep and of a goat thou shalt not cause to be redeemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. Their blood only thou shalt pour upon the altar, and their fat thou shalt burn for a most sweet odour to the Lord.

18 その肉は汝に歸すべし搖る胸と右の腿とおなじく是は汝に歸するなり

But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.

19 イスラエルの子孫がヱホバに献て擧祭とする所の聖物はみな我これを汝と汝の男子女子に與へこれを永く例となす是はヱホバの前において汝と汝の子孫に對する鹽の契約にして變らざる者なり

All the firstfruits of the sanctuary which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to thee and to thy sons and daughters, by a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, to thee and to thy sons.

20 ヱホバまたアロンに告たまはく汝はイスラエルの子孫の地の中に產業を有べからずまた彼等の中に何の分をも有べからず彼らの中において我は汝の分汝の產業たるなり

And the Lord said to Aaron: You shall possess nothing in their land, neither shall you have a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.

21 またレビの子孫たる者には我イスラエルの中において物の十分の一を與へて之が產業となし其なすところの役事すなはち集會の幕屋の役事に報ゆ

And I have given to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel for a possession for the ministry wherewith they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant:

22 イスラエルの子孫はかさねて集會の幕屋に近づくべからず恐くは罪を負て死ん

That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,

23 第レビ人集會の幕屋の役事をなすべしまた彼らはその罪な自己の身に負べし彼等はイスラエルの子孫の中に產業の地を有ざる事をもてその例となして汝らの世代の子孫の中に永く之を守るべきなり

But only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle, and bear the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall not possess any other thing,

24 イスラエルの子孫が十に一を取り擧祭としてヱホバに献るところの物を我レビ人に與へてその產業となさしむるが故に我かれらにつきて言り彼等はイスラエルの子孫の中に產業の地を得べからずと

But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.

25 ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

26 汝かくレビ人に告て之に言べし我がイスラエルの子孫より取て汝等に與へて產業となさしむるその什一の物を汝ら之より受る時はその什一の物の十分の一を献てヱホバの擧祭となすべし

Command the Levites, and declare unto them: When you shall receive of the children of Israel the tithes, which I have given you, offer the firstfruits of them to the Lord, that is to say, the tenth part of the tenth:

27 汝等の擧祭の物品は禾場よりたてまつる穀物の如く酒醡の内よりたてまつる酒のごとくに見做れん

That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:

28 此のごとく汝等もまたイスラエルの子孫より受る一切の什一の物の中よりヱホバに擧祭を献げそのヱホバの擧祭を祭司アロンに與ふべし

And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.

29 汝らの受る一切の禮物の中より汝らはその嘉ところ即ちその聖き分を取てヱホバの擧祭を献べし

All the things that you shall offer of the tithes, and shall separate for the gifts of the Lord, shall be the best and choicest things.

30 汝かく彼等に言べし汝らその中より嘉ところを取て献るに於てはその殘餘の物は汝等レビ人におけること禾場より取る物のごとく酒醡より取る物のごとくならん

And thou shalt say to them: If you offer all the goodly and the better things of the tithes, it shall be reckoned to you as if you had given the firstfruits of the barnfloor and the winepress:

31 汝等と汝らの眷屬何處にても之を食ふことを得べし是は汝らが集會の幕屋に於て爲す役事の報酬たればなり

And you shall eat them in all your places, both you and your families: because it is your reward for the ministry, wherewith you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.

32 汝らその嘉ところを献るに於ては之がために罪を負こと有じ汝らはイスラエルの子孫の聖別て献る物を汚すべからず恐くは汝ら死ん

And you shall not sin in this point, by reserving the choicest and fat things to yourselves, lest you profane the oblations of the children of Israel, and die.
