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.
The LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your fathers’ house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you 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.
Bring your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you; but you and your sons with you 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.
They shall keep your commands and the duty of the whole Tent; only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they nor you.
4 Hampireketeñe ama’o iereo hamandroñe i kibohom-pamantañañey amy ze hene fitoloñañe amy kivohoy fe tsy hiharinea’ t’indaty tsotra.
They shall be joined to you and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent. A stranger shall not come near to you.
5 Le ho toloñe’ areo o raha miavakeo, hatrafe’ areo i kitreliy, tsy hifetsahan-kaviñerañe o ana’ Israeleo.
“You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary and the duty of the altar, that there be no more wrath on 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.
Behold, I myself have taken your brothers the Levites from amongst the children of Israel. They are a gift to you, dedicated to 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.
You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil. You shall serve. I give you the service of the priesthood as a gift. The stranger who comes near 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.
The LORD spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I myself have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel. I have given them to you by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.
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 yours of the most holy things from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
10 Ho kamae’ areo an-toetse miavake ao, ze lahilahy iaby ty hikama ama’e, fa navaheñe ho ama’o.
You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be 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.
“This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of 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.
“I have given to you all the best of the oil, all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to the LORD.
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-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the LORD, shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
14 Hene azo ze atokañe e Israele ao.
“Everything devoted in Israel shall be 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.
Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to the LORD, both of man and animal, shall be yours. Nevertheless, you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.
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).
You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which weighs 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 you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
18 Le ho azo o hena’eo, ho azo hambañe amy tratran-kelahelay naho i tso’e havanay.
Their meat shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be 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 wave offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel offer to the LORD, I have given you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD to you and to your offspring 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.
The LORD said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion amongst them. I am your portion and your inheritance amongst 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.
“To 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.
Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near 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 forever throughout your generations. Amongst 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 a wave offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said to them, ‘Amongst the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.’”
25 Le nitsara amy Mosè t’Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
The LORD spoke 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.
“Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, ‘When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave 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.
Your wave offering shall be credited to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the wine press.
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 you also shall offer a wave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give the LORD’s wave 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, you shall offer every wave offering to the LORD, of all its best parts, even the holy part 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 you shall tell them, ‘When you heave its best from it, then it shall be credited to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the wine press.
31 Azo’ areo kamaeñe ndra aia aia izay, inahareo naho o keleia’ areoo amy te tambe’ areo amy fitoloña’ areo amy kibohom-pamantañañeiy.
You may eat it anywhere, you 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.
You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best. You shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.’”
