Nomery 18
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Aharone: Ihe naho o anadahi’oo miharo amo anjomban-droae’oo ro hivave o hakeo’ i efe-miavakey, le ihe rekets’ o anadahi’oo ro hivave o tahi’ i fisoroñañeio.
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 Aa le endeso mb’ etoa ka o rahalahi’oo, i fifokoa’ i Leviy, i fifokoan-droae’oy, hireketse ama’o, hitoroñe azo, ihe naho o ana’oo, añatrefa’ i kibohom-pañinay.
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 Hiatrak’ azo iereo vaho hañambeñe i kivoho iabiy, fe tsy harinea’ iareo o fana’ i efe-miavakeio naho i kitreliy tsy mone hivetrake, ie naho inahareo.
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 Hampireketeñe ama’o iereo hamandroñe i kibohom-pamantañañey amy ze hene fitoloñañe amy kivohoy fe tsy hiharinea’ t’indaty tsotra.
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 Le ho toloñe’ areo o raha miavakeo, hatrafe’ areo i kitreliy, tsy hifetsahan-kaviñerañe o ana’ Israeleo.
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 Le Izaho, toe Izaho ty nandrambe o nte-Levy rahalahi’ areoo boak’amo ana’ Israeleo, ie nengaeñe ho ravoravo am’ Iehovà ho anahareo, hanoe’e o fitoroñañe an-kibohom-pamantañañeo.
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 Le ihe naho o ana’o rekets’ ama’oo ro hañambeñe o fisoroña’ areoo amy ze hene mioza amy kitreliy, le ho toroñe’ areo ze ankalo’ i lamba fañefetsey ao. Atoloko azo ho fitoroñan-karavòañe i fisoroñañey, fe havetrake ze ondaty tsotra miharine eo.
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 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Aharone: Izaho, toe Izaho ty nanolots’ azo o engan-kavoakoo, le navìko ho azo naho o ana’oo ho amy fañorizañey ze hene navi’ o ana’ Israeleo. Natoloko ami’ty fañorizañe naho amo o ana’oo ho fañè nainai’e.
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 Ho azo amo raha miava-do’e navotsotse amy afoio; ze hene enga’ iareo: ze enga-mahakama iaby, ze soron-kakeo iaby; ze hene engan-dilatse mete ho banabanae’ iereo amako, ho miava-do’e ama’o naho amo ana’oo.
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 Ho kamae’ areo an-toetse miavake ao, ze lahilahy iaby ty hikama ama’e, fa navaheñe ho ama’o.
you eat it among the most holy things; every male eats it; it is holy to you.
11 Ho azo ty enga-kavoañe amo engae’ iareoo, naho ze enga ahelahela’ o ana’ Israeleo, le fa natoloko azo naho amo ana-dahi’oo naho amo anak’ ampela’o mindre ama’oo ho fañè nainai’e, ie mete kamae’ ze malio añ’ anjomba’o ao.
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 Fa natoloko azo ze hene soa amo menakeo naho ze fonga soa amo divai-vaoo naho amy ampembay: ty loha-voñe engae’ iereo am’ Iehovà.
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 Azo ze hene lengom-boa an-tane’e añe engae’ iereo am’ Iehovào, songa mete mikama ama’e ze malio añ’anjomba’o ao.
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 Hene azo ze atokañe e Israele ao.
every devoted thing in Israel is yours;
15 Azo ka ze manoka-koviñe valoha’e, ze engaeñe am’ Iehovà, he ondaty ke hare; fe toe ho jebañeñe o tañoloñoloña’ ondatio, vaho havahañe ka ze valohan’ ana’ o biby tsy malioo.
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 Le ty vilin’ ai’e, mifototse amy valòham-bola’ey ty ijebañañe aze; ze anjoanjoa’ o azey, sekele lime ty vili’e an-tsekelen-toe-miavake (gerà roapolo izay).
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 Fe tsy havaha’ areo ze valohan’ anak’ añombe naho valohan’ anak’ añondry naho ty valohan’ anak’ ose, fa miavake. Hadasi’ areo añariari’ i kitreliy ty lio vaho hisoroña’o ty safo’e ho enga olorañe, hàñin-kanintsiñe am’ Iehovà.
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 Le ho azo o hena’eo, ho azo hambañe amy tratran-kelahelay naho i tso’e havanay.
and their flesh is yours, as the breast of the wave-offering and as the right leg are yours.
19 Ze enga avoañe amo raha miavake engae’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovào le fa natoloko azo naho amo ana-dahi’oo naho amo anak’ ampela’o mindre ama’oo ho fañè tsy modo, ho fañinan-tsira nainai’e ama’o naho amo tarira’oo añatrefa’ Iehovà.
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 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Aharone: tsy hanan-dova an-tane’ iareo irehe, naho tsy hanañ’ anjara am’ iereo ao; Izaho ro anjara’o naho lova’o amo ana’ Israeleo.
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 Naho o nte-Levio, toe nitolorako ze fonga fahafolo’ Israele ho fanañañe hasolo ty fitoroñañe itoroña’ iareo, ty fitoloñañe an-kibohom-pamantañañe ao.
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 Tsy ho harinè’ o ana’ Israeleo ka i kibohom-pamantañañey henane zao tsy mone hivave hakeo vaho hivetrake.
And the sons of Israel no longer come near to the Tent of Meeting, to bear sin, to die,
23 O nte-Levio avao ty hifanehak’ amo tolon-draha’ i kibohom-pamantañañeio, le ho vavè’ iereo o hakeo’eo; ho fañè nainai’e amo hene tarira’ areo mifandimbeo, f’ie tsy hanan-dova añivo o ana’ Israeleo,
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 amy te nitolorako ty fahafolo avì’ o ana’ Israeleo ho engan-kavoañe am’ Iehovà, ie ty lova natoloko amo nte-Levio, toe vinolako t’ie tsy hanan-dova amo ana’ Israeleo.
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 Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
26 Saontsio amo nte-Levio ty hoe: Naho rambese’ areo amo ana’ Israeleo i fahafolo natoloko anahareo ho lova’areoy, le añengào enga-kavoañe am’ Iehovà ty fahafolo’ i fahafoloy.
“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 Le ho volilieñe ama’ areo hambañe amy t’ie i mahakama boak’ an-toe-pamofohañey; naho te boak’ ami’ty hapea’ i fipiritan-divaiy i enga havi’ areoy.
and your raised-offering has been reckoned to you as grain from the threshing-floor and as the fullness from the wine-vat;
28 Aa le havi’ areo ho am’ Iehovà ty enga-kavoañe boak’ amo fahafolo rambese’ areo amo ana’ Israeleo le i enga-kavoañe navike ho am’ Iehovày ty hatolo’ areo amy Aharone mpisoroñe.
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 Amo hene enga atolotse ama’ areoo, le havi’ areo ze havìke am’ Iehovà; ze hene soa ama’e naho ty miavake ama’e.
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 Aa le ano ty hoe: Naho avi’ areo ty soa ama’e, le ho volilieñe amo nte-Levio ho mahakama nasisa an-toe-pamofohañe ey naho ty fitomboa’ i fipiritan-divaiy.
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 Azo’ areo kamaeñe ndra aia aia izay, inahareo naho o keleia’ areoo amy te tambe’ areo amy fitoloña’ areo amy kibohom-pamantañañeiy.
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 Aa kanao avi’ areo ty soa ama’e le tsy hivavea’ areo hakeo, vaho ko leore’ areo o enga’ miava’ o ana’ Israeleoo tsy mone hivetrake.
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.”
