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 the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers’ house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall 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 thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be 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 shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye.

4 Hampireketeñe ama’o iereo hamandroñe i kibohom-pamantañañey amy ze hene fitoloñañe amy kivohoy fe tsy hiharinea’ t’indaty tsotra.

And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

5 Le ho toloñe’ areo o raha miavakeo, hatrafe’ areo i kitreliy, tsy hifetsahan-kaviñerañe o ana’ Israeleo.

And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be wrath no more upon the children 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, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given unto the LORD, 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 thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for every thing of the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be 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 the LORD spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel, unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a due for ever.

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 shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every guilt offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

10 Ho kamae’ areo an-toetse miavake ao, ze lahilahy iaby ty hikama ama’e, fa navaheñe ho ama’o.

As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof: every male shall eat thereof; it shall be holy unto thee.

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 thine; the heave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.

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 vintage, and of the corn, the firstfruits of them which they give unto the LORD, to thee have I given them.

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 firstripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.

14 Hene azo ze atokañe e Israele ao.

Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

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.

Every thing that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto the LORD, both of man and beast, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

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 those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same 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.

But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

18 Le ho azo o hena’eo, ho azo hambañe amy tratran-kelahelay naho i tso’e havanay.

And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.

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 heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

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 the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children 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 unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even 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 henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and 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,

But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

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.

For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:

And the LORD spake unto 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.

Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, 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 heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

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.

Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give the LORD’S heave offering 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 ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof 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.

Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 Azo’ areo kamaeñe ndra aia aia izay, inahareo naho o keleia’ areoo amy te tambe’ areo amy fito­loña’ areo amy kibohom-pamantañañeiy.

And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward in return 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 ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.
