Lakkoobsa 18
1 Waaqayyo Arooniin akkana jedhe; “Ati, ilmaan keetii fi maatiin abbaa keetii si wajjin yakka iddoo qulqulluutti hojjetametti ni gaafatamtu. Yakka lubummaatti hojjetame siʼii fi ilmaan kee qofatu itti gaafatama.
So the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house must bear the iniquity involving the sanctuary. And you and your sons alone must bear the iniquity involving your priesthood.
2 Akka isaan yeroo atii fi ilmaan kee fuula dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa duratti tajaajiltanitti sitti dabalamanii si gargaaraniif obboloota kee warra gosa Lewwii, warra gosa abbaa keetii sana fidi.
But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and assist you and your sons before the Tent of the Testimony.
3 Isaanis ajaja kee dhagaʼuudhaan hojiiwwan dunkaana keessaa hunda haa hojjetan; garuu miʼa iddoo qulqulluutti yookaan iddoo aarsaatti dhiʼaachuu hin qaban. Yoo akkas taʼe isaanis, atis ni duutu.
And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties of the Tent; but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die.
4 Isaanis dunkaana wal gaʼii eeguudhaaf isinitti dabalamuu qabu; hojii dunkaana sanaa hundas haa hojjetan. Namni biraa iddoo isin jirtanitti dhiʼaachuu hin qabu.
They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.
5 “Isin akka dheekkamsi ammas Israaʼeloota irra hin buuneef eegumsa iddoo qulqulluutii fi eegumsa iddoo aarsaatti ni gaafatamtu.
And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.
6 Ani mataan koo obboloota keessan Lewwota kennaawwan isinii kennaman godhee saba Israaʼel keessaa filadheera; isaanis akka hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessaa hojjetaniif Waaqayyoof kennamanii jiru.
Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.
7 Garuu hojii iddoo aarsaatii fi hojii golgaa keessaa hunda siʼii fi ilmaan kee qofatu hojjeta. Ani hojii lubummaa kennaa godhee isiniif nan kenna. Namni biraa kan iddoo qulqulluutti dhiʼaatu haa ajjeefamu.”
But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”
8 Waaqayyo Arooniin akkana jedhe; “Ani mataan koo itti gaafatamaa aarsaawwan naa dhiʼeeffamanii si godheera; ani aarsaawwan qulqulluu Israaʼeloonni naaf dhiʼeessan hunda akka isaan bara baraan qoodaa fi gaʼee keessan taʼaniif siʼii fi ilmaan keetiif kenneera.
Then the LORD said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.
9 Kunis aarsaawwan waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼan kanneen ibiddi hin tuqin keessaa qooda kee taʼa. Kennaawwan isaan aarsaawwan waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼan godhanii naaf fidan jechuunis aarsaawwan midhaanii yookaan aarsaawwan cubbuu yookaan aarsaawwan yakkaa hunda keessaa qoodni sun kan keetii fi kan ilmaan keetii ti.
A portion of the most holy offerings reserved from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings they render to Me as most holy offerings, whether grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.
10 Isas iddoo iddoo hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼetti nyaadhu; dhiirri hundi haa nyaatu; innis qulqulluu siif haa taʼu.
You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
11 “Wanni kunis kanuma kee ti; aarsaan sochoofamu kan kennaa saba Israaʼel hunda irraa addaan baafame kanuma kee ti. Anis waan kana siʼii fi ilmaan keetii fi intallan kee kanneen si wajjin jiraataniif qooda bara baraa godhee kenneera. Mana kee keessaa namni akka seeraatti qulqulluu taʼe kam iyyuu waan kana nyaachuu ni dandaʼa.
And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it.
12 “Zayitii ejersaa filatamaa hunda, daadhii wayinii filatamaa hundaa fi waan galfatan keessaa mataa midhaanii kan isaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan siif nan kenna.
I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.
13 Mataan midhaanii kan isaan waan biyyattii irraa argatan hunda keessaa Waaqayyoof fidan kan kee haa taʼu; mana kee keessaa namni akka seeraatti qulqulluu taʼe kam iyyuu waan kana nyaachuu ni dandaʼa.
The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.
14 “Israaʼel keessatti wanni qulqulleeffamee Waaqayyoof kenname hundinuu kee ti.
Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
15 Wanni gadameessa saaqu kam iyyuu namas taʼu horiin Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu hundi kan kee ti. Ati garuu ilma hangafa, horii qulqulluu hin taʼin keessaa immoo korma hangafa furuu qabda.
The firstborn of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely redeem every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.
16 Yeroo umuriin isaanii jiʼa tokko taʼutti akka saqilii iddoo qulqulluu kan geeraa digdama ulfaatu sanaatti gatii furii murtaaʼe meetii saqilii shaniin isaan furi.
You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your valuation: five shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs.
17 “Garuu sangaa hangafa, hoolaa hangafaa fi reʼee hangafa hin furin; isaan qulqulluu dha. Dhiiga isaanii iddoo aarsaa irratti facaasi; cooma isaanii immoo aarsaa ibiddaan dhiʼeeffamu kan urgaan isaa Waaqayyotti tolu godhiitii gubi.
But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
18 Akkuma handaraafni aarsaa sochoofamuutii fi tafni mirgaa kan kee taʼe sana foon isaaniis kan kee taʼa.
And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.
19 Ani waan aarsaa qulqulluu Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan irraa addaan baafame hunda siif, ilmaan keetii fi intallan keetiif qooda bara baraa godhee nan kenna. Innis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti siʼii fi sanyii keetiif kakuu soogiddaa kan bara baraa ti.”
All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”
20 Waaqayyo Arooniin akkana jedhe; “Ati biyya isaanii keessatti dhaala tokko illee yookaan qooda tokko illee isaan gidduudhaa hin qabaattu; ani saba Israaʼel keessatti qooda keetii fi dhaala kee ti.
Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.
21 “Kunoo ani kennaa Israaʼel keessa jiru kudhan keessaa tokko hunda waan isaan tajaajila dunkaana wal gaʼii tajaajilaniif dhaala godhee Lewwotaaf kenneera.
Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting.
22 Siʼachi Israaʼeloonni akka cubbuu hin baannee fi akka hin duuneef dunkaana wal gaʼiitti hin dhiʼaatin.
No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
23 Kan hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjetuu fi kan itti gaafatama yakka achitti hojjetamuu fudhatu Lewwotuma. Kunis dhaloota dhufuuf seera bara baraa ti. Isaan saba Israaʼel keessatti dhaala tokko illee hin argatan.
The Levites are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.
24 Qooda kanaa ani waan Israaʼeloonni kudhan keessaa tokko aarsaa godhanii Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan sana dhaala isaanii godhee Lewwotaaf kenneera. Sababiin ani, ‘Isaan saba Israaʼel keessatti dhaala tokko illee hin qabaatan’ jedhee waaʼee isaanii dubbadheefis kanuma.”
For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”
25 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the LORD instructed Moses,
26 “Akkana jedhii Lewwotatti dubbadhu: ‘Yommuu kennaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko kan ani dhaala keessan godhee isiniif kenne sana Israaʼeloota irraa fudhatanitti isin kennaa sana harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko aarsaa Waaqayyoo godhaa dhiʼeessaa.
“Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe.
27 Aarsaan keessanis akkuma midhaan oobdii irraa yookaan akkuma cuunfaa iddoo ija wayinii itti cuunfanii keessaa baʼeetti isiniif herregama.
Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
28 Isinis haaluma kanaan kennaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko kan Israaʼeloota irraa argatan hunda keessaa Waaqayyoof aarsaa ni dhiʼeessitu; kennaawwan kanneen keessaas waan qooda Waaqayyoo taʼe Aroon lubichaaf kennaa.
So you are to present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, and from these you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.
29 Waan isinii kenname hunda keessaa kutaa waan hunda caalaa gaarii fi qulqulluu taʼe qooda Waaqayyoo godhaatii dhiʼeessaa.’
You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
30 “Lewwotaan akkana jedhi: ‘Yommuu isin kutaa waan hunda caalaa gaarii taʼe dhiʼeessitanitti kutaan sun akka midhaan oobdii irraa yookaan akka cuunfaa iddoo ija wayinii itti cuunfan keessaa baʼeetti isinii herregama.
Therefore say to the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the produce of the threshing floor or winepress.
31 Sababii wanni kun mindaa hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii kan isin hojjettanii taʼeef isinii fi namoonni mana keessan jiraatan waan hafe sana iddoo barbaadan kamitti iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
32 Qooda isaa kan waan hunda caalu sana dhiʼeessuudhaan isin waan kana keessatti yakka hin qabaattan; yoos isin aarsaa Israaʼelootaa qulqulluu sana hin xureessitan; hin duutanis.’”
Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”
