Nomipā 18

1 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻElone, “Ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha mo e fale ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai te mou fua ʻae hia ʻoe faletapu: pea ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou fua ʻae hia ʻa hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

And the LORD said unto Aaron, You and your sons and your father's 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 Pea te mou ʻomi fakataha foki mo koe ho kāinga ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Livai, ko e faʻahinga ʻo hoʻo tamai, koeʻuhi te mou feangai mo koe, ʻo ngāue kiate koe: ka ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou fakataha[ʻo ngāue ]ʻi he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni.

And your brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring you with you, that they may be joined unto you, and minister unto you: but you and your sons with you shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.

3 Pea tenau tokanga ki hoʻo ngāue, mo e tauhi kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki: kaeʻoua tenau haʻu ke ofi ki he ngaahi ipu ʻoe faletapu mo e feilaulauʻanga, telia naʻa nau mate ai, mo kimoutolu foki.

And they shall keep your 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 all of you also, die.

4 Pea tenau fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate koe, ʻo tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki: pea ʻe ʻikai haʻu ha muli ke ofi kiate kimoutolu.

And they shall be joined unto you, 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 Pea te mou tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe faletapu, mo e tauhi ʻoe feilaulauʻanga: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe hoko ʻae houhau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

And all of you 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 Pea ko au, vakai, kuo u ʻomi homou kāinga ʻoe kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ʻoku foaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki kiate kimoutolu maʻa Sihova, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

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 Pea ko ia, ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou tokanga ki hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, mo e loto puipui; pea te mou tauhi: kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki: pea ko e muli ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”

Therefore you and your sons with you shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and all of you shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that comes nigh shall be put to death.

8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u foaki foki kiate koe ʻae tauhi ʻo ʻeku feilaulau hiki hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; kuo u foaki ia kiate koe koeʻuhi ko e fakanofo, pea ki ho ngaahi foha, ʻi he talatuku ʻo lauikuonga.

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

9 Ko hoʻo meʻa eni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa toputapu, kuo hao ʻi he afi: ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau meʻakai kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē maʻae angahala, mo ʻenau feilaulau fakalelei kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau ʻange kiate au, ʻe mātuʻaki tapu ia maʻau, mo ho ngaahi foha.

This shall be your of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every food 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 you and for your sons.

10 Te ke kai ia ʻi he potu tapu ʻaupito, ʻe kai ia ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē: ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe.

In the most holy place shall you eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto you.

11 Pea ko e meʻa eni ʻaʻau; ko e feilaulau hiki hake ʻoku nau foaki, fakataha mo e ngaahi feilaulau lialiaki kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: kuo u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine fakataha mo koe, ʻi he fekau ʻo lauikuonga: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻi ho fale te ne kai mei ai.

And this is yours; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in your house shall eat of it.

12 Ko e lelei kotoa pē ʻoe lolo, mo e lelei kotoa pē ʻoe uaine, pea mo e uite, ko hono ʻuluaki fua ʻaia tenau ʻatu kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia kiate koe.

All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the first-fruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given you.

13 Pea mo ia ʻoku fuofua moho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia tenau ʻomi kia Sihova, ʻe ʻaʻau ia; ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻi ho fale te ne kai mei ai.

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

14 Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakatapu ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoku ʻaʻau ia.

Every thing devoted in Israel shall be yours.

15 ‌ʻAe meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne toʻo ʻae mānava ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻomi kia Sihova, ʻi he kau tangata, pe ʻi he fanga manu, ʻe ʻaʻau ia: ka ko e moʻoni te ke huhuʻi ʻae ʻuluaki tama ʻi he tangata, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fanga manu taʻemaʻa te ke huhuʻi ia.

Every thing that opens the womb in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be yours: nevertheless the firstborn of man shall you surely redeem, and the first born of unclean beasts shall you redeem.

16 Pea ko ia ʻoku totonu ke huhuʻi mei he taha māhina, te ke huhuʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo lau, ʻaki ʻae paʻanga ko e [sikeli ]ʻe nima, ʻo hangē ko e[sikeli ]ʻoe faletapu, ʻaia ko e kela ʻe uofulu.

And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shall you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

17 Ka ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae fanga pulu, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae sipi, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae kosi, ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia: pea te ke luluku ʻaki honau toto ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea te ke tutu honau ngako ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.

But the first born of a cow, or the first born of a sheep, or the first born of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

18 Pea ko honau kakano ʻe ʻaʻau ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaʻau ʻae fatafata lialiaki, pea mo e alanga nima toʻomataʻu.

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

19 Ko e ngaahi feilaulau hiki hake ʻoe ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo ʻange ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine fakataha mo koe, ʻi he fekau ʻo lauikuonga: ko e fuakava ia kiate ko e ʻoe māsima ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, fakataha mo ho hako ʻo lauikuonga.”

All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto you and to your seed with you.

20 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te ke maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi honau fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ha tufakanga ʻiate kinautolu: ka ko au ko ho ʻinasi mo ho tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

And the LORD spoke unto Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any part among them: I am your part and your inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 Pea vakai, kuo u foaki ki he fānau ʻa Livai ʻa hono vahe hongofulu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ko e ngāue ʻoku nau tauhi, ʻio ʻae tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

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 Pea ʻe ʻikai toe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo ofi ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, telia naʻa nau fua ʻae angahala, pea nau mate.

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

23 Ka ko e kau Livai te nau fai ʻae tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea te nau fua ʻenau hia: ko e fekau ia ki homou ngaahi toʻutangata ʻo lauikuonga, ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai tenau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

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 Ka ko hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻatu ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia ki he kau Livai kenau maʻu ia: pea ko eni, ne u pehē ai kiate kinautolu, ʻE ʻikai tenau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”

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 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

26 Ke ke lea ki he kau Livai, ʻo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOka mou ka maʻu hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ne u foaki meiate kinautolu maʻamoutolu, ko homou tofiʻa, te mou toki ʻohake hono feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, ʻio, ko hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻi homou vahe hongofulu.

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

27 Pea ko hoʻomou feilaulau hiki hake ʻe lau ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e koane ʻoe potu hahaʻanga, pea mo e pito ʻoe tataʻoʻanga uaine.

And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.

28 ‌ʻE pehē hoʻomou ʻatu ʻae feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova ʻi homou vahe hongofulu kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku mou maʻu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea te mou foaki hono feilaulau hiki hake ʻo Sihova kia ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki.

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

29 Ko e meʻa foaki kotoa pē ʻoku mou maʻu te mou ʻange mei ai ʻae feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, mei hono lelei, ʻio, mei hono meʻa ʻoku tapu.

Out of all your gifts all of you shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.

30 Pea ko eni, te ke lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOka mou ka hiki hono lelei mei ai, ʻe toki lau ai ia ki he Livai ʻo hangē ko hono tupu ʻoe hahaʻanga koane, pea mo e tupu ʻoe tataʻoʻanga uaine.

Therefore you shall say unto them, When all of you have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 Pea te mou kai ia ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻekimoutolu mo homou kau nofoʻanga: he ko hono totongi ia ʻo hoʻomou tauhi ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

And all of you shall eat it in every place, all of you and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

32 Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fua ʻae angahala koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻoka mou ka hiki hono lelei mei ai: pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fakaʻuli ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, telia naʻa mou mate.”

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