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.
The Lord told Aaron, “You and your sons and the other Levites bear the responsibility for sins relating to the sanctuary. You and your sons alone bear the responsibility for sins relating to 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.
Have your brothers from the tribe of Levi, your father's tribe, join you to help you and your sons with your service in the Tent 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.
They will take care of your responsibilities and those relating to the Tent, but they must not come too close to the sacred objects of the sanctuary or the altar, otherwise they will die, and you will too.
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.
They are to help you and take care of the responsibilities of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent, but they are not allowed to be with you during your priestly ministry.
5 Pazili boste na zadolžitev svetišča in zadolžitev oltarja, da nad Izraelovimi otroki ne bo več besa.
You are to carry out the responsibilities relating to the sanctuary and the altar, so that my anger will not fall on the Israelites again.
6 Glejte, jaz sem vzel vaše brate, Lévijevce, izmed Izraelovih otrok. Vam so izročeni kakor darilo za Gospoda, da opravljajo službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti.
Look, I myself have chosen your brothers the Levites from the Israelites as my gift to you, dedicated to the Lord to do the work that relates the Tent of Meeting.
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 only you and your sons are responsible for your priesthood, doing all that concerns the altar and is behind the veil. Only you are to perform that service. I am giving you the gift of your priesthood, but anyone else who approaches the sanctuary must be executed.”
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.
The Lord told Aaron, “Listen, I have put you in charge of officiating at my offerings. All the holy contributions of the Israelites that they bring are reserved for you, and this is a permanent rule.
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.
Part of the most holy offerings taken from the burnt offerings are yours. Part of all the offerings they give me as most holy offerings, whether it's grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.
10 Na najsvetejšem kraju boš to jedel. Vsak moški bo to jedel. To ti bo sveto.
You shall eat it in a most holy place. Every male is allowed to eat it. You are to regard it as something holy.
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.
The following also belongs to you: the voluntary gifts as well as all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent rule. Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean is allowed to eat it.
12 Najboljše od olja in najboljše od vina in od pšenice, njihove prve sadove, ki jih bodo darovali Gospodu, te sem dal tebi.
I am giving you all the best olive oil and all the best new wine and grain that the Israelites give as firstfruits to the Lord.
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.
The firstfruits of all the crops they produce in their land that they bring to the Lord are yours. Everyone in your family who is ceremonially clean is allowed to eat them.
14 Vsaka posvečena stvar v Izraelu, naj bo tvoja.
Everything in Israel that is dedicated to the Lord is yours.
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.
Every firstborn, whether human or animal, that is offered to the Lord is yours. But you must buy back every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.
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.
When they are one month old you shall pay the redemption price of five shekels of silver, (using the sanctuary shekel standard), equivalent to twenty gerahs.
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 you are not allowed to redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat because they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and burn their fat as a burnt offering accepted by the Lord.
18 Njihovo meso bo tvoje, kakor so tvoje majalne prsi in desno pleče.
Their meat is yours, in the same way that the breast and right thigh of the wave offering are yours.
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.«
I am giving all the voluntary gifts that the Israelites present to the Lord to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent rule. It is a permanent agreement of salt before the Lord for you and your descendants.”
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.
“You won't possess property in their country, and you won't have a share in their land. I am your share and your possession among the Israelites.
21 Glej, Lévijevim otrokom sem dal za dediščino vse desetine v Izraelu, za njihovo službo, ki jo služijo, torej službo šotorskega svetišča skupnosti.
Instead I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel as compensation for the service they provide in doing the work in the Tent of Meeting.
22 Niti se Izraelovi otroci odslej ne smejo približati šotorskemu svetišču skupnosti, da ne bi nosili greha in umrli.
The Israelites are no longer allowed to approach the Tent of Meeting, or they will commit an offense and die.
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.
The Levites are to carry out the work in the Tent of Meeting, and they must take responsibility for any sins involved. This is a permanent rule for all future generations. The Levites won't receive a share of land among the Israelites.
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.‹«
Instead I have given to the Levites as their compensation the tithe that the Israelites give to the Lord as a contribution. That's why I told them that they wouldn't receive a share of land among the Israelites.”
25 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
The Lord told Moses,
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.
“Talk to the Levites and explain to them, ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your compensation, you must return part of it as an offering to the Lord: a tithe of the tithe.
27 In ta vaša vzdigovalna daritev se vam bo štela kakor, da bi bilo žito iz mlatišča in kakor polnost vinske stiskalnice.
Your offering will be considered as if it were the firstfruits of grain from your threshing floor or grape juice from the winepress.
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.
In this way you are to contribute an offering to the Lord from every tithe you receive from the Israelites, giving the Lord's offering 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.‹
From all the gifts you receive you are to contribute as the Lord's offering the very best, the holiest part of every gift.’
30 Zato jim boš rekel: ›Ko ste vzdignili najboljše od tega, potem bo to šteto Lévijevcem kakor donos mlatišča in kakor donos vinske stiskalnice.
So tell the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be considered as your contribution produced by your threshing floor or winepress.
31 To boste jedli na vsakem kraju, vi in vaše družine, kajti to je vaša nagrada za vašo službo v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti.
You and your families may eat it anywhere because it's compensation for your service in the Tent of Meeting.
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.‹«
You will not be considered to have sinned if you have presented the best part of it. But if you treat the sacred offerings of the Israelites with disrespect you will die.’”
