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.

And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s 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 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.

And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness.

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 keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.

4 Isaanis dunkaana wal gaʼii eeguudhaaf isinitti dabalamuu qabu; hojii dunkaana sanaa hundas haa hojjetan. Namni biraa iddoo isin jirtanitti dhiʼaachuu hin qabu.

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

5 “Isin akka dheekkamsi ammas Israaʼeloota irra hin buuneef eegumsa iddoo qulqulluutii fi eegumsa iddoo aarsaatti ni gaafatamtu.

And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

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.

And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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.”

Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office [unto you] as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall 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.

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.

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.

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

10 Isas iddoo iddoo hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼetti nyaadhu; dhiirri hundi haa nyaatu; innis qulqulluu siif haa taʼu.

In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

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] thine; the heave offering of their gift, with 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, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

12 “Zayitii ejersaa filatamaa hunda, daadhii wayinii filatamaa hundaa fi waan galfatan keessaa mataa midhaanii kan isaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan siif nan kenna.

All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.

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.

[And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat [of] it.

14 “Israaʼel keessatti wanni qulqulleeffamee Waaqayyoof kenname hundinuu kee ti.

Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

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.

Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

16 Yeroo umuriin isaanii jiʼa tokko taʼutti akka saqilii iddoo qulqulluu kan geeraa digdama ulfaatu sanaatti gatii furii murtaaʼe meetii saqilii shaniin isaan furi.

And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, 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 the firstling of a cow, 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 Akkuma handaraafni aarsaa sochoofamuutii fi tafni mirgaa kan kee taʼe sana foon isaaniis kan kee taʼa.

And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

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 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, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

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.

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 “Kunoo ani kennaa Israaʼel keessa jiru kudhan keessaa tokko hunda waan isaan tajaajila dunkaana wal gaʼii tajaajilaniif dhaala godhee Lewwotaaf kenneera.

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

22 Siʼachi Israaʼeloonni akka cubbuu hin baannee fi akka hin duuneef dunkaana wal gaʼiitti hin dhiʼaatin.

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, 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.

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

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.”

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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.

Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.

27 Aarsaan keessanis akkuma midhaan oobdii irraa yookaan akkuma cuunfaa iddoo ija wayinii itti cuunfanii keessaa baʼeetti isiniif herregama.

And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of 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.

Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD’s heave offering to Aaron the priest.

29 Waan isinii kenname hunda keessaa kutaa waan hunda caalaa gaarii fi qulqulluu taʼe qooda Waaqayyoo godhaatii dhiʼeessaa.’

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 “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 thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the 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 ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it [is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

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.’”

And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
