Okubala 18

1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, “Ggwe, ne batabani bo, n’ab’omu kika kyo bonna, mmwe munaavunaanyizibwanga olw’emisango eginazzibwanga ku watukuvu; era ggwe ne batabani bo mwekka mmwe muneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa ku misango eginazzibwanga ku bwakabona.

And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, 'Thou, and thy sons, and the house of thy father with thee, do bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou, and thy sons with thee, do bear the iniquity of your priesthood;

2 Onooleetanga Abaleevi banno ab’omu kika kyo eky’obujjajja ne babeegattako, ggwe ne batabani bo, okubayambanga bwe munaabanga muweereza mu Weema ya Mukama ey’Endagaano.

and also thy brethren, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring near with thee, and they are joined unto thee, and serve thee, even thou and thy sons with thee, before the tent of the testimony.

3 Banaaweererezanga wansi wo nga bakola emirimu gyonna egy’omu Weema ya Mukama; naye beekuumenga balemenga okusemberera ekyoto wadde eby’omu watukuvu byonna; bwe balikikola, bo naawe mugenda kufa.

'And they have kept thy charge, and the charge of all the tent; only, unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar they do not come near, and they die not, either they or you;

4 Bagenda kukwegattako, balabirirenga Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, nga bakola emirimu gyonna egy’omu Weema, era tewaabenga mugwira n’omu anaasemberanga we muli.

and they have been joined unto thee, and have kept the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and a stranger doth not come near unto you;

5 “Mmwe munaabanga n’obuvunaanyizibwa obw’emirimu gyonna egy’awatukuvu n’egy’Ekyoto, olwo obusungu buleme kuddamu kubuubuukiranga ku baana ba Isirayiri.

and ye have kept the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the sons of Israel.

6 Kale weeteegereze: nziridde ab’omu lulyo lwo olw’Abaleevi nga mbalonze mu baana ba Isirayiri, ne mbakukwasa ng’ekirabo ekiweereddwayo eri Mukama Katonda okukolanga emirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

'And I, lo, I have taken your brethren the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; to you a gift they are given by Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting;

7 Naye ggwe ne batabani bo mwekka mmwe munaakolanga emirimu gyonna egy’obwakabona bwammwe egikwata ku kyoto n’egy’omunda w’eggigi. Obuweereza obw’Obwakabona mbubawadde ng’ekirabo. Omuntu yenna omulala anaasemberanga okumpi n’awatukuvu, anaafanga.”

and thou, and thy sons with thee, do keep your priesthood, for everything of the altar, and within the vail, and ye have served; a service of gift I make your priesthood; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.'

8 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, “Laba, Nze kennyini nkukwasizza ebiweebwayo byonna ebireetebwa gye ndi; ebiweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu abaana ba Isirayiri bye banandeeteranga mbikuwadde ggwe ne batabani bo nga gwe mugabo gwammwe ogw’olubeerera.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Aaron: 'And I, lo, I have given to thee the charge of My heave-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel — to thee I have given them for the anointing, and to thy sons, by a statute age-during.

9 Ku biweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu ennyo ebitayokeddwa mu muliro kunaabangako ebibyo. Omugabo gwo ne batabani bo gunaavanga ku birabo ebitukuvu ennyo abaana ba Isirayiri bye banandeeteranga: ebiweebwayo eby’emmere y’empeke oba ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, oba ebiweebwayo olw’omusango.

This is thine of the most holy things, from the fire: all their offering, to all their present, and to all their sin-offering, and to all their guilt-offering, which they give back to Me, is most holy to thee, and to thy sons;

10 Omugabo ogwo onooguliiranga mu kifo ekitukuvu ennyo, era buli musajja anaagulyangako. Osaana okitegeere ng’ebyo bitukuvu nnyo.

in the holy of holies thou dost eat it; every male doth eat it; holy it is to thee.

11 “Bino nabyo binaabanga bibyo: ku birabo bye banandeeteranga, n’ebiweebwayo ebiwuubibwawuubibwa eby’abaana ba Isirayiri. Ebyo mbikuwadde ne batabani bo ne bawala bo okuba omugabo gwo ogw’olubeerera. Buli muntu yenna ow’omu maka go omulongoofu anaalyangako.

'And this [is] thine: the heave-offering of their gift, to all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel, to thee I have given them, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute age-during; every clean one in thy house doth eat it;

12 “Nkuwadde ku mafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni agasinga obulungi ne ku wayini omusu, ne ku mmere y’empeke embereberye bye baleetera Mukama eby’amakungula gaabwe.

all the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and wheat — their first -[fruits] which they give to Jehovah — to thee I have given them.

13 Ebibala ebinaasookanga okwengera mu nnimiro zaabwe, bye banaaleeteranga Mukama Katonda, binaabanga bibyo. Buli muntu yenna ow’omu maka go omulongoofu anaalyangako.

'The first-fruits of all that [is] in their land, which they bring in to Jehovah, are thine; every clean one in thy house doth eat it;

14 “Buli kintu kyonna mu Isirayiri ekiweereddwayo ddala ne kiwongebwa eri Mukama kinaabanga kikyo.

every devoted thing in Israel is thine,

15 Buli ekinaggulangawo enda y’omuntu oba ey’ekisolo, nga kyakuwaayo eri Mukama Katonda, kinaabanga kikyo. Naye omwana omubereberye ow’omuntu onoomununulanga, era n’embereberye ez’ensolo ezitali nnongoofu nazo onoozinunulanga.

every one opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to Jehovah, among man and among beast, is thine; only, thou dost certainly ransom the first-born of man, and the firstling of the unclean beast thou dost ransom.

16 Ebyo eby’okununula onoobinunulanga bimaze okuweza omwezi gumu ogw’obukulu. Onoobinunuliranga ku muwendo ogwagerekebwa ogwa gulaamu amakumi ataano mu ttaano, ng’ebipimo by’awatukuvu bwe biri.

'And their ransomed ones from a son of a month, thou dost ransom with thy valuation, of silver, five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary, twenty gerahs it [is].

17 “Naye embereberye ey’ente, oba embereberye ey’endiga oba ey’embuzi, ezo toozinunulenga, kubanga zo ntukuvu. Onoomansiranga omusaayi gwazo ku kyoto, n’oyokya amasavu gaazo mu muliro ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekivaamu akawoowo akasanyusa Mukama Katonda.

'Only, the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou dost not ransom, holy they [are]: their blood thou dost sprinkle on the altar, and of their fat thou makest perfume, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah,

18 Ennyama yaazo eneebanga yiyo ng’ekiweebwayo ky’ekifuba ekiwuubibwawuubibwa n’ekisambi ekya ddyo bwe kiri ekikyo.

and their flesh is thine, as the breast of the wave-offering, and as the right leg, it is thine;

19 Ebiweebwayo byonna ebitukuvu abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleeteranga Mukama, mbikuwadde, ggwe ne batabani bo, ne bawala bo, okubeeranga omugabo gwo ogw’olubeerera. Eneebeeranga endagaano ey’omunnyo eya Mukama wakati we naawe n’ezzadde lyo emirembe gyonna.”

all the heave-offerings of the holy things which the sons of Israel lift up to Jehovah I have given to thee and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute age-during, a covenant of salt, age-during it [is] before Jehovah, to thee and to thy seed with thee.'

20 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, “Toobenga na byabusika mu nsi yaabwe, so toobenga na mugabo gwonna mu bo; Nze mugabo gwo era Nze busika bwo mu baana ba Isirayiri.

And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, 'In their land thou dost not inherit, and a portion thou hast not in their midst: I [am] thy portion, and thine inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel;

21 “Ebitundu eby’ekkumi byonna abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga, mbiwadde Abaleevi okubeeranga omugabo gwabwe nga ye mpeera yaabwe olw’omulimu gwe bakola nga baweereza mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

and to the sons of Levi, lo, I have given all the tenth in Israel for inheritance in exchange for their service which they are serving — the service of the tent of meeting.

22 Era okuva leero abaana ba Isirayiri tebaasembererenga Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, si kulwa nga bakolerayo ebibi, ne bafa.

'And the sons of Israel come no more near unto the tent of meeting, to bear sin, to die,

23 Abaleevi be banaakolanga emirimu egy’omu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, era be baneetikkanga obuvunaanyizibwa bwe banaakolerangayo ebibi. Lino linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira ne mu mirembe gyammwe gyonna egigenda okujja. Tebaafunenga byabusika mu baana ba Isirayiri.

and the Levites have done the service of the tent of meeting, and they — they bear their iniquity; a statute age-during to your generations, that in the midst of the sons of Israel they have no inheritance;

24 Kubanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi abaana ba Isirayiri bye banaaleetanga ng’ekiweebwayo eri Mukama, mbiwadde Abaleevi okubeera omugabo gwabwe. Noolwekyo tebaabenga na byabusika mu baana ba Isirayiri.”

but the tithe of the sons of Israel which they lift up to Jehovah, a heave-offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said of them, In the midst of the sons of Israel they have no inheritance.'

25 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

26 “Yogera n’Abaleevi obagambe nti, ‘Bwe munaafunanga ebitundu eby’ekkumi, bye mbawadde ng’omugabo gwammwe, nga mubiggya ku baana ba Isirayiri, munaggyangako ekitundu eky’ekkumi ne mukireeta nga kye kiweebwayo kyammwe eri Mukama Katonda.

'And unto the Levites thou dost speak; and thou hast said unto them, When ye take from the sons of Israel the tithe which I have given to you from them, for your inheritance, then ye have lifted up from it the heave-offering of Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe;

27 Ekiweebwayo kyammwe kinaabalibwanga ng’emmere y’empeke ey’omu gguuliro oba ng’omubisi ogw’omu ssogolero.

and your heave-offering hath been reckoned to you as corn from the threshing-floor, and as fulness from the wine-vat;

28 Mu ngeri eyo nammwe munaaleetanga ekiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda nga mukiggya ku bitundu eby’ekkumi bye munaafunanga ku baana ba Isirayiri. Ku bitundu ebyo eby’ekkumi kwe munaggyanga ekiweebwayo kya Mukama ne mukikwasa Alooni kabona.

so ye do lift up — ye also — the heave-offering of Jehovah from all your tithes which ye receive from the sons of Israel; and ye have given from it the heave-offering of Jehovah to Aaron the priest;

29 Mu birabo ebyo byonna bye banaabawanga munaggyangako ekisingira ddala obulungi era ekitukuvu ennyo ne mukireeta nga kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda.’

out of all your gifts ye do lift up the whole heave-offering of Jehovah; out of all its fat, — its hallowed part — out of it.

30 “Abaleevi bagambe nti, ‘Bwe munaawangayo ebitundu ebisinga obulungi, binaababalirwangako ng’ebivudde mu gguuliro n’ebivudde mu ssogolero.

'And thou hast said unto them, In your lifting up its fat out of it, then it hath been reckoned to the Levites, as increase of a threshing-floor, and as increase of a wine-vat;

31 Mmwe n’ab’omu maka gammwe munaayinzanga okubiriira wonna we munaayagalanga, kubanga eneebeeranga mpeera yammwe olw’omulimu gwe munaakolanga mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

and ye have eaten it in every place, ye and your households, for it [is] your hire in exchange for your service in the tent of meeting;

32 Bwe munaawangayo ebisingira ddala obulungi, tewaabengawo musango gwonna gwe munaabanga muzzizza; bwe mutyo ebiweebwayo ebitukuvu eby’abaana ba Isirayiri munaabanga temubivumisizza, muleme okufa.’”

and ye bear no sin for it, in your lifting up its fat out of it, and the holy things of the sons of Israel ye do not pollute, and ye die not.'
