Nomery 18

1 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Arona: Hianao sy ny zanakao ary ny tarana-drainao no hitondra ny heloky ny fitoerana masìna; ary ianao sy ny zanakao koa no hitondra ny heloky ny fisoronanareo.

And YHWH says to Aaron, “You, and your sons, and the house of your father with you, bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you bear the iniquity of your priesthood;

2 Ary ny rahalahinao avy amin’ ny firenen’ i Levy izay firenen’ ny razanao koa dia ento miaraka aminao, mba hikambana aminao izy ka hanompo anao; fa ianao sy ny zanakao ho eo anoloan’ ny trano-lain’ ny Vavolombelona.

and also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, and they are joined to you, and serve you, even you and your sons with you, before the Tent of the Testimony.

3 Dia hitandrina ny anjara-raharahanao sy ny anjara-raharaha rehetra momba ny trano-lay izy; kanefa ny fanaky ny fitoerana masìna sy ny alitara dia tsy mba hakekeny, fandrao maty ireo sy ny tenanareo koa.

And they have kept your charge, and the charge of all the tent; only, they do not come near to the vessels of the holy place and to the altar, and they do not die, either they or you;

4 Dia hikambana aminao izy ka hitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny trano-lay fihaonana, dia ny fanompoana rehetra momba ny trano-lay; ary tsy hisy olon-kafa hanakaiky anareo.

and they have been joined to you and have kept the charge of the Tent of Meeting for all the service of the tent; and a stranger does not come near to you;

5 Dia hotandremanareo ny anjara-raharaha momba ny fitoerana masìna sy ny anjara-raharaha momba ny alitara, mba tsy hisy fahatezerana hahazo ny Zanak’ Isiraely intsony.

and you have kept the charge of the holy place and the charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the sons of Israel.

6 Ary, indro, Izaho efa naka ny Levita rahalahinareo avy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; omena anareo izy ho fanomezana ho an’ i Jehovah mba hanao ny fanompoana momba ny trano-lay fihaonana.

And I, behold, have taken your brothers the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; they are a gift given to you by YHWH to do the service of the Tent of Meeting;

7 Fa ianao sy ny zanakao kosa no hitandrina ny fisoronanareo ka hanompo ny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra momba ny alitara sy ny ao anatin’ ny efitra lamba, dia fanompoana omeko anareo ny fisoronana; ary ny olon-kafa izay manakaiky dia hatao maty.

and you and your sons with you keep your priesthood for everything of the altar and within the veil, and you have served; I make your priesthood a gift [for] service; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.”

8 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Arona hoe: Indro, Izaho efa nampitandrina anao ny fanatitra ho Ahy, dia ny zava-masìna rehetra aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; efa nomeko ho anjaranao sy ny taranakao izany, ho anjara mandrakizay.

And YHWH speaks to Aaron: “And I, behold, have given to you the charge of My raised-offerings, of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel—I have given them to you and to your sons for the anointing, by a continuous statute.

9 Izao no ho anao amin’ ny zavatra masìna indrindra, avy amin’ ny fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo; ny fanatiny rehetra sy ny fanatiny noho ny ota rehetra ary ny fanati-panonerany rehetra, izay hanonerany ho Ahy; ho masìna indrindra ho anao sy ny taranakao izany.

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

10 Toy ny fihinananao ny zavatra masìna indrindra no hihinananao azy; ny lehilahy rehetra no mahazo mihinana azy: masìna ho anao izany.

you eat it among the most holy things; every male eats it; it is holy to you.

11 Ary izao koa no ho anao: ny zavatra omeny ho fanatitra, dia ny fanatitra ahevaheva rehetra aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; efa nomeko ho anao sy ny zanakao-lahy ary ny zanakao-vavy koa izany ho anjara mandrakizay; izay rehetra madio amin’ ny ankohonanao no mahazo mihinana izany.

And this [is] yours: the raised-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel; I have given them to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a continuous statute; every clean one in your house eats it;

12 Izay rehetra tsara indrindra amin’ ny diloilo sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny vary, dia ny voaloham-bokatra aminy, izay ateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, dia efa nomeko anao.

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

13 Ny voaloham-bokatra rehetra eo amin’ ny taniny, izay hateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, dia ho anao; izay rehetra madio amin’ ny ankohonanao no mahazo mihinana azy.

The first-fruits of all that [is] in their land, which they bring to YHWH, are yours; every clean one in your house eats it;

14 Ny zavatra rehetra voatokana amin’ ny Isiraely dia ho anao.

every devoted thing in Israel is yours;

15 Ny voalohan-teraka rehetra, izay ateriny ho an’ i Jehovah, na olona, na biby, dia ho anao avokoa; kanefa tsy maintsy havotanao ny voalohan-teraky ny biby maloto dia havotanao koa.

everyone opening a womb of all flesh which they bring near to YHWH, among man and among beast, is yours; only, you certainly ransom the firstborn of man, and you ransom the firstling of the unclean beast.

16 Ary ny amin’ ny fanavotana azy, dia izay efa iray volana no havotanao, araka izay ataonao tombany, dia sekely dimy, araka ny sekely masìna (gera roa-polo izany).

And their ransomed ones from a son of a month, you ransom with your valuation [for] five shekels of silver, by the shekel of the holy place; it [is] twenty gerahs.

17 Fa ny voalohan-teraky ny omby, na ny voalohan-teraky ny ondry, na ny voalohan-teraky ny osy kosa tsy mba havotanao, fa masìna ireny; ny ràny dia hatopinao amin’ ny alitara, ary ny saborany hodoranao ho fofona, ho fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo, ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah.

Only, the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you do not ransom, they [are] holy: you sprinkle their blood on the altar, and you make incense of their fat [as] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;

18 Dia ho anao ny henany, ho anao tahaka ny tratra ahevaheva sy tahaka ny soroka ankavanana.

and their flesh is yours, as the breast of the wave-offering and as the right leg are yours.

19 Ny fanatitra rehetra izay alaina avy amin’ ny zava-masìna aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho an’ i Jehovah dia efa nomeko anao sy ny zanakao-lahy ary ny zanakao-vavy ho anjara mandrakizay; dia fanekena mandrakizay asian-tsira eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izany ho aminao sy ny taranakao koa.

All the raised-offerings of the holy things, which the sons of Israel lift up to YHWH, I have given to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a continuous statute—a covenant of salt; it [is] continuous before YHWH to you and to your seed with you.”

20 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Arona: Tsy mba hanana lova eo amin’ ny tany ianao sady tsy mba hanana anjara eo aminy; Izaho no anjaranao sy lovanao eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

And YHWH says to Aaron, “You do not inherit in their land, and you do not have a portion in their midst: I [am] your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel;

21 Ary, indro, ny taranak’ i Levy efa nomeko ny fahafolon-karena rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely ho fananany noho ny fanompoana izay ataony, dia ny fanompoana ny amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.

and to the sons of Levi, behold, 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 Ary tsy mahazo manakaiky ny trano-lay fihaonana intsony ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fandrao meloka izy ka maty.

And the sons of Israel no longer come near to the Tent of Meeting, to bear sin, to die,

23 Fa ny Levita ihany no hanao ny fanompoana momba ny trano-lay fihaonana, ary izy no hitondra ny helony; ho lalàna mandrakizay amin’ ny taranakareo hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby izany, fa tsy hanan-tany ho lovany eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.

and the Levites have done the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they bear their iniquity; [it is] a continuous statute throughout your generations that they have no inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel;

24 Fa ny fahafolon-karen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay ateriny ho fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah, dia efa nomeko ho an’ ny taranak’ i Levy ho fananany; izany no nilazako taminy hoe: Tsy hanana lova eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.

but the tithe of the sons of Israel which they lift up to YHWH, a raised-offering, I have given to the Levites for inheritance; therefore I have said of them, They have no inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.”

25 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

26 Mitenena indray amin’ ny Levita hoe: Rehefa raisinareo amin’ ny zanak’ Isiraely ny fahafolon-karena, izay efa nomeko ho fanananareo avy aminy, dia hanalanareo ampahafolony kosa ho an’ i Jehovah izany.

“And you speak to the Levites, and you have said to them: When you take the tithe from the sons of Israel which I have given to you from them for your inheritance, then you have lifted up the raised-offering of YHWH from it, a tithe of the tithe;

27 Ary ny fanatitra alainareo dia hisaina ho anareo toy ny vary avy eo am-pamoloana sy ny divay avy eo amin’ ny famiazana.

and your raised-offering has been reckoned to you as grain from the threshing-floor and as the fullness from the wine-vat;

28 Toy izany koa no hanateranareo fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah avy amin’ ny fahafolon-karenareo rehetra, izay horaisinareo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary avy amin’ izany no hanateranareo ho an’ i Jehovah, dia ho an’ i Arona mpisorona.

so you lift up—you also—the raised-offering of YHWH from all your tithes which you receive from the sons of Israel; and you have given the raised-offering of YHWH from it to Aaron the priest;

29 Ary ny zavatra rehetra omena anareo no hanateranareo ny fanatitra rehetra izay alaina ho an’ i Jehovah, dia amin’ izay rehetra tsara indrindra avy aminy, dia izay zavatra masìna avy aminy.

out of all your gifts you lift up every raised-offering of YHWH, out of all its fat—its hallowed part—out of it.

30 Dia lazao aminy hoe: Raha maka ny tsara indrindra avy aminy ianareo, dia hisaina ho an’ ny Levita toy ny vokatra avy eo am-pamoloana sy ny divay avy eo amin’ ny famiazana izany.

And you have said to them: In your lifting up its fat out of it, then it has been reckoned to the Levites as increase of a threshing-floor and as increase of a wine-vat;

31 Dia mahazo mihinana izany eo amin’ ny fitoerana rehetra ianareo sy ny ankohonanareo; fa karamanareo izany noho ny fanompoanareo ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.

and you have eaten it in every place, you and your households, for it [is] your hire in exchange for your service in the Tent of Meeting;

32 Ary tsy hahazoanareo heloka ireny, raha maka ny tsara indrindra avy aminy ianareo; ary tsy holotoinareo ny zava-masìna aterin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia tsy ho faty ianareo.

and you bear no sin for it in your lifting up its fat out of it, but you do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel, and you do not die.”
