4 Mojzes 18

1 Gospod je rekel Aronu: »Ti, tvoji sinovi in hiša tvojega očeta s teboj bodo nosili krivičnost svetišča. Ti in tvoji sinovi s teboj boste nosili krivičnost svojega duhovništva.

And the Lord said to 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 sins of your priesthood.

2 Tudi svoje brate iz Lévijevega rodu, rodu svojega očeta, privedi s seboj, da bodo lahko pridruženi k tebi in ti služili, toda ti in tvoji sinovi s teboj boste služili pred šotorskim svetiščem pričevanja.

And take with thee thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, and the sceptre of thy father, and let them be ready in hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons shall minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.

3 Pazili bodo na tvojo zadolžitev in zadolžitev vsega šotorskega svetišča. Samo ne bodo se približali posodam svetišča in oltarju, da ne bi niti oni niti tudi vi ne umrli.

And the Levites shall watch to do thy commands, and about all the works of the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary nor the altar, lest both they die, and you also perish with them.

4 Pridruženi bodo k tebi in pazili bodo na zadolžitev šotorskega svetišča skupnosti, za vso službo šotorskega svetišča. Tujec pa se vam ne bo približal.

But let them be with thee, and watch in the charge of the tabernacle, and in all the ceremonies thereof. A stranger shall not join himself with you.

5 Pazili boste na zadolžitev svetišča in zadolžitev oltarja, da nad Izraelovimi otroki ne bo več besa.

Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel.

6 Glejte, jaz sem vzel vaše brate, Lévijevce, izmed Izraelovih otrok. Vam so izročeni kakor darilo za Gospoda, da opravljajo službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti.

I have given you your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, and have delivered them for a gift to the Lord, to serve in the ministries of the tabernacle.

7 Zato boste ti in tvoji sinovi s teboj, varovali svojo duhovniško službo za vsako oltarno stvar in znotraj zagrinjala; in vi boste služili. Duhovniško službo sem vam dal kakor službo darila. Tujec pa, ki pride blizu, bo usmrčen.«

But thou and thy sons look ye to the priesthood: and all things that pertain to the service of the altar, and that are within the veil, shall be executed by the priests. If any stranger shall approach, he shall be slain.

8 Gospod je spregovoril Aronu: »Glej, dal sem ti tudi zadolžitev mojih vzdigovalnih daritev izmed vseh posvečenih stvari Izraelovih otrok. Tebi sem jih dal zaradi razloga maziljenja in tvojim sinovom, z odredbo na veke.

And the Lord said to Aaron: Behold I have given thee the charge of my firstfruits. All things that are sanctified by the children of Israel, I have delivered to thee and to thy sons for the priestly office, by everlasting ordinances.

9 To bodo tvoje najsvetejše stvari, ohranjene pred ognjem. Vsak njihov dar, vsaka njihova jedilna daritev in vsaka njihova daritev za greh in vsaka njihova daritev za prestopek, ki mi jih bodo povrnili, bo zate in za tvoje sinove najsvetejša.

These therefore shalt thou take of the things that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatsoever is rendered to me for sin and for trespass, and becometh holy of holies, shall be for thee and thy sons.

10 Na najsvetejšem kraju boš to jedel. Vsak moški bo to jedel. To ti bo sveto.

Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.

11 In to je tvoje; vzdigovalna daritev njihovega darila z vsemi majalnimi daritvami Izraelovih otrok. Dal sem jih tebi in tvojim sinovim in tvojim hčeram s teboj, po zakonu na veke; vsak, kdor je v tvoji hiši čist, bo jedel od tega.

But the firstfruits, which the children of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, by a perpetual law. He that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.

12 Najboljše od olja in najboljše od vina in od pšenice, njihove prve sadove, ki jih bodo darovali Gospodu, te sem dal tebi.

All the best of the oil, and of the wine, and of the corn, whatsoever firstfruits they offer to the Lord, I have given them to thee.

13 In karkoli je prvo zrelo v deželi, kar bodo prinesli Gospodu, bo tvoje; vsak, kdor je v tvoji hiši čist, bo jedel od tega.

All the firstripe of the fruits, that the ground bringeth forth, and which are brought to the Lord, shall be for thy use: he that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.

14 Vsaka posvečena stvar v Izraelu, naj bo tvoja.

Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.

15 Vsaka stvar, ki odpre maternico v vsem mesu, ki ga prinašajo h Gospodu, naj bo to od ljudi ali živali, bo tvoja. Vendar zagotovo odkupi človeškega prvorojenca in odkupil boš prvence nečistih živali.

Whatsoever is firstborn of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beasts, shall belong to thee: only for the firstborn of man thou shalt take a price, and every beast that is unclean thou shalt cause to be redeemed,

16 Tiste, ki naj bi bili odkupljeni, mesec dni stare, boš odkupil glede na svojo oceno, za denar petih šeklov, po svetiščnem šeklu, kar je dvajset ger.

And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

17 Toda prvenca krave ali prvenca ovce ali prvenca koze ne boš odkupil; oni so sveti. Njihovo kri boš poškrôpil na oltar in njihovo tolščo boš sežgal za ognjeno daritev, v prijeten vonj Gospodu.

But the firstling of a cow and of a sheep and of a goat thou shalt not cause to be redeemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. Their blood only thou shalt pour upon the altar, and their fat thou shalt burn for a most sweet odour to the Lord.

18 Njihovo meso bo tvoje, kakor so tvoje majalne prsi in desno pleče.

But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.

19 Vse vzdigovalne daritve svetih stvari, ki jih Izraelovi otroci darujejo Gospodu, sem dal tebi in tvojim sinovim in tvojim hčeram s teboj, po zakonu na veke. To je solna zaveza na veke pred Gospodom, tebi in tvojemu potomstvu s teboj.«

All the firstfruits of the sanctuary which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to thee and to thy sons and daughters, by a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, to thee and to thy sons.

20 Gospod je govoril Aronu: »Ne boš imel dediščine v svoji deželi niti ne boš imel nobenega deleža med njimi. Jaz sem tvoj delež in tvoja dediščina med Izraelovimi otroki.

And the Lord said to Aaron: You shall possess nothing in their land, neither shall you have a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.

21 Glej, Lévijevim otrokom sem dal za dediščino vse desetine v Izraelu, za njihovo službo, ki jo služijo, torej službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti.

And I have given to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel for a possession for the ministry wherewith they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant:

22 Niti se Izraelovi otroci odslej ne smejo približati šotorskemu svetišču skupnosti, da ne bi nosili greha in umrli.

That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,

23 Temveč bodo Lévijevci opravljali službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti in nosili bodo njihovo krivičnost. To bo zakon na veke skozi vaše rodove, da med Izraelovimi otroki ne bodo imeli nobene dediščine.

But only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle, and bear the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall not possess any other thing,

24 Toda desetine Izraelovih otrok, ki jih darujejo kakor vzdigovalno daritev Gospodu, sem dal v dediščino Lévijevcem. Zato sem jim rekel: ›Med Izraelovimi otroki ne bodo imeli nobene dediščine.‹«

But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.

25 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

26 »Tako spregovori Lévijevcem in jim povej: ›Kadar od Izraelovih otrok vzamete desetine, ki sem vam jih od njih dal za vašo dediščino, potem boste od tega darovali vzdigovalno daritev za Gospoda, celó deseti del desetine.

Command the Levites, and declare unto them: When you shall receive of the children of Israel the tithes, which I have given you, offer the firstfruits of them to the Lord, that is to say, the tenth part of the tenth:

27 In ta vaša vzdigovalna daritev se vam bo štela kakor, da bi bilo žito iz mlatišča in kakor polnost vinske stiskalnice.

That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:

28 Tako boste tudi vi darovali vzdigovalno daritev Gospodu od vseh svojih desetin, ki jih prejmete od Izraelovih otrok in od tega boste dali Gospodovo vzdigovalno daritev duhovniku Aronu.

And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.

29 Izmed vseh vaših darov bo vsak daroval vzdigovalno daritev Gospodu, od vsega najboljšega od tega, celó posvečen del od tega.‹

All the things that you shall offer of the tithes, and shall separate for the gifts of the Lord, shall be the best and choicest things.

30 Zato jim boš rekel: ›Ko ste vzdignili najboljše od tega, potem bo to šteto Lévijevcem kakor donos mlatišča in kakor donos vinske stiskalnice.

And thou shalt say to them: If you offer all the goodly and the better things of the tithes, it shall be reckoned to you as if you had given the firstfruits of the barnfloor and the winepress:

31 To boste jedli na vsakem kraju, vi in vaše družine, kajti to je vaša nagrada za vašo službo v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti.

And you shall eat them in all your places, both you and your families: because it is your reward for the ministry, wherewith you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.

32 Zaradi tega ne boste nosili nobenega greha, ko ste vzdignili najboljše od tega. Niti ne boste oskrunili svetih stvari Izraelovih otrok, da ne umrjete.‹«

And you shall not sin in this point, by reserving the choicest and fat things to yourselves, lest you profane the oblations of the children of Israel, and die.
