Ceturtā Mozus 18
1 Tad Tas Kungs runāja uz Āronu: tev un taviem dēliem un tava tēva namam līdz ar tevi būs nest svētās vietas noziegumu, un tev un taviem dēliem būs nest priestera amata noziegumu.
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 Un arī savus brāļus, Levja cilti, sava tēva cilti, tev līdz ar sevi būs pievest, ka tie tev palīdz un tev kalpo; bet tev un taviem dēliem līdz ar tevi būs būt liecības telts priekšā.
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 Un tiem būs kopt tavu kopšanu, un visas telts kopšanu; bet pie svētās vietas rīkiem un pie altāra tiem nebūs pieiet, lai nemirst, ne viņi, ne jūs.
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 Bet tiem būs tev palīdzēt un kopt to kopšanu saiešanas teltī visā telts kalpošanā, un nevienam svešiniekam pie jums nebūs pieiet.
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 Tad nu kopjat svētās vietas kopšanu un altāra kopšanu, lai vairs nenāk bardzība pār Israēla bērniem.
“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 Jo redzi, Es jūsu brāļus, tos Levitus, esmu ņēmis no Israēla bērniem; tie jums ir doti par dāvanu Tam Kungam, ka tiem jākalpo pie saiešanas telts kalpošanas.
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 Bet tev un taviem dēliem līdz ar tevi būs savu priestera amatu kopt visās altāra lietās un iekšpusē aiz tā priekškaramā un kalpot, jūsu priestera amatu Es jums dodu kā dāvanu. Un tam svešiniekam, kas pieiet, būs mirt.
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 Un Tas Kungs runāja uz Āronu: un Es, redzi, Es tev esmu devis glabāt Savus cilājamos upurus; no visām Israēla bērnu svētām dāvanām Es tev tos esmu devis par daļu un taviem dēliem par tiesu mūžīgi.
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 Tas lai tev pieder no tām augsti svētām dāvanām no ugunīm: visas viņu dāvanas pie visiem viņu ēdamiem upuriem un pie visiem viņu grēku upuriem un pie visiem viņu nozieguma upuriem, ko tie Man dod; augsti svētas dāvanas lai tās ir tev un taviem dēliem.
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 Augsti svētā vietā tev to būs ēst; visi, kas no vīriešu kārtas, lai to ēd, - tas lai tev ir svēts.
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 Un tas lai tev pieder kā cilājams upuris no viņu dāvanām: no visiem Israēla bērnu līgojamiem upuriem Es to esmu devis tev un taviem dēliem un tavām meitām līdz ar tevi par tiesu mūžīgi; ikkatrs, kas tavā namā šķīsts, lai to ēd.
“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 To visu labāko no eļļas un to visu labāko no vīna un no labības, viņu pirmajus, ko tiem būs Tam Kungam dot, to Es tev esmu devis.
“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 Tiem pirmiem augļiem no visa, kas ir viņu zemē, ko tiem Tam Kungam būs nest, tev būs piederēt; ikkatrs, kas tavā namā šķīsts, lai to ēd.
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 Viss, kas iekš Israēla Dievam nolikts, lai tev pieder.
“Everything in Israel that is set apart to belong to me also belongs to you.
15 Viss, kas māti atplēš, no ikvienas miesas, ko Tam Kungam atnesīs, no cilvēkiem un no lopiem, lai tev pieder; bet cilvēku pirmdzimtos pērkot lai izpērk, un nešķīsto lopu pirmdzimtos arī lai izpērk.
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 Kas nu tos izpērk, lai tos izpērk vienu mēnesi vecus, pēc tava sprieduma, par pieciem sēķeļiem pēc svētās vietas sēķeļa (viens ir divdesmit ģeras).
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 Bet govs pirmdzimto vai avs pirmdzimto vai kazas pirmdzimto tev nebūs likt izpirkt, tie ir svēti, - viņu asinis tev būs slacīt uz altāri, un viņu taukus tev būs iededzināt par uguns upuri, par saldu smaržu Tam Kungam.
“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 Un viņu gaļa lai tev pieder, itin kā tās līgojamās krūtis, un tas labais plecs, tā lai viņa tev pieder.
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 Visus svētos cilājamos upurus ko Israēla bērni Tam Kungam pienes, Es esmu devis tev un arī taviem dēliem un tavām meitām līdz ar tevi par tiesu mūžam. Šī lai ir mūžīga sāls derība Tā Kunga priekšā tev un arī tavam dzimumam mūžīgi.
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 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Āronu: viņu zemē tev nebūs mantības un viņu starpā tev nebūs daļas; Es esmu tava daļa un tava manta starp Israēla bērniem.
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 Un redzi, Levja bērniem Es esmu devis visus desmitos iekš Israēla par daļu par viņu kalpošanu, ar ko tie kalpo saiešanas telts kalpošanā.
“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 Un Israēla bērniem vairs nebūs pieiet pie saiešanas telts, ka tie neapgrēkojās un nemirst.
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 Bet Levitiem saiešanas telts kalpošanā būs kalpot, un tiem būs nest viņu noziegumus; tas lai ir likums mūžīgi pie jūsu pēcnākamiem; un starp Israēla bērniem tiem zemes daļas nebūs mantot.
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 Jo Israēla bērnu desmitos, ko tie upurē Tam Kungam par cilājamu upuri, Es esmu devis Levitiem par daļu; tādēļ Es uz tiem esmu sacījis: tiem Israēla bērnu vidū zemes daļas nebūs mantot.
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 Un Tas Kungs runāja uz Mozu un sacīja:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
26 Tev uz Levitiem vēl būs runāt un tiem sacīt: kad jūs no Israēla bērniem dabūsiet tos desmitos, ko Es jums esmu devis par daļu no viņiem, tad jums no tiem būs nest cilājamu upuri Tam Kungam, to desmito no tiem desmitiem.
“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 Un tas jums taps pielīdzināts par jūsu cilājamo upuri, kā labība no klona un kā pilnība no vīna spaida.
Just like the other Israelis give one tenth of the grain and wine that they produce,
28 Tā jums arī cilājamu upuri būs upurēt Tam Kungam no visiem saviem desmitiem, ko jūs dabūsiet no Israēla bērniem, un no tiem dot Tā Kunga cilājamo upuri Āronam, tam priesterim.
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 No visām savām dāvanām jums būs upurēt visu to cilājamo upuri Tam Kungam, no tā vislabākā to svēto daļu,
Select the best parts of the things that are given to you to give them to me.’
30 Tev tad uz viņiem būs sacīt: kad jūs to vislabāko no tā upurējat, tad tas Levitiem taps pielīdzināts, tā kā labība no klona vai kā auglis no vīna spaida.
“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 Un ēdat to visās vietās, jūs un jūsu nams, jo tā ir jūsu alga par jūsu kalpošanu saiešanas teltī.
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 Un jūs par to nenesīsiet nekādu grēku, kad jūs to visu labāko no tā upurēsiet, un Israēla bērnu svētās dāvanas nesagānīsiet un nemirsiet.
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.’”
