Numbers 18

1 Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Ìwọ, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti ìdílé baba rẹ ni yóò ru gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí wọ́n ti dá fún ilé tí a yà sí mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, àti ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ nìkan ni yóò máa ru ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ iṣẹ́ àlùfáà yín.

And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, You and your sons and your father's house shall bear the sins of the holy things, and you and your sons shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 Kí o sì mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ará Lefi láti ẹ̀yà ìran rẹ láti dàpọ̀ mọ́ ìwọ láti ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ nígbà tí ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin bá ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ níwájú Àgọ́ ẹ̀rí.

And take to yourself your brethren the tribe of Levi, the family of your father, and let them be joined to you, and let them minister to you; and you and your sons with you [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness.

3 Àwọn ni ó yẹ láti dúró fún ọ àti láti ṣe gbogbo iṣẹ́ ti Àgọ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi tí a ti ṣe lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ tí a sì yà sí mímọ́ tàbí ibi pẹpẹ, tàbí gbogbo wọn àti ìwọ ló máa kú.

And they shall keep your charges, and the charges of the tabernacle; only they shall not approach the holy vessels and the altar, so both they and you shall not die.

4 Ó yẹ kí wọ́n darapọ̀ mọ́ ọ láti jẹ ìyà iṣẹ́ fún àìtọ́jú ibi ti àgọ́ ìpàdé àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní ibi àgọ́, àti wí pé kò sí àlejò tí ó le wá sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibi tí o wà.

And they shall be joined to you, and shall keep the charges of the tabernacle of witness, in all the services of the tabernacle; and a stranger shall not approach to you.

5 “Kí o sì mójútó iṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́ àti iṣẹ́ ibi pẹpẹ, kí ìbínú má ba wá sí orí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mọ́.

And you shall keep the charges of the holy things, and the charges of the altar, and [so] there shall not be anger among the children of Israel.

6 Èmi fúnra mi ti yan àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tí í ṣe ọmọ Lefi kún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, wọn jẹ́ ẹ̀bùn fún ọ, èyí ni a fún Olúwa láti ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní àgọ́ ìpàdé.

And I have taken your brethren the Levites out of the midst of the children of Israel, a present given to the Lord, to minister in the services of the tabernacle of witness.

7 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ni yóò mójútó iṣẹ́ àlùfáà yín fún gbogbo ohun tó bá jẹ mọ́ ibi pẹpẹ àti ti ẹ̀yin aṣọ títa, ẹ ó sì máa ṣiṣẹ́ ibi pẹpẹ àti nínú aṣọ tí a ta. Mo fún ọ ní iṣẹ́ àlùfáà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn. Ṣùgbọ́n àlejò tí ó bá súnmọ́ tòsí ibi ìyàsímímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run ni a ó pa.”

And you and your sons after you shall keep up your priestly ministration, according to the whole manner of the altar, and that which is within the veil; and you shall minister in the services as the office of your priesthood; and the stranger that comes near shall die.

8 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Èmi fúnra mi ti fi ọ́ ṣọ́ ìdí gbogbo ẹbọ tí a bá mú wá fún gbogbo ọrẹ mímọ́ tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bá fún mi, mo fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe.

And the Lord said to Aaron, And, behold, I have given you the charge of the first fruits of all things consecrated to me by the children of Israel; and I have given them to you as an honor, and to your sons after you for a perpetual ordinance.

9 Ìwọ ni kí o ni ìpín ọrẹ mímọ́ jùlọ tí a mú kúrò ní ibi iná, nínú gbogbo ọrẹ tí wọ́n mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ mímọ́ jùlọ, yálà ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ, ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tàbí ẹbọ ẹ̀bi, ìpín wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ti ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ.

And let this be to you from all the holy things that are consecrated [to me, even] the burnt offerings, from all their gifts, and from all their sacrifices, and from every trespass-offering of theirs, and from all their sin-offerings, whatever things they give to me of all their holy things, they shall be your and your sons'.

10 Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní ibi mímọ́ jùlọ, gbogbo ọkùnrin ni ó gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ́. Ó gbọdọ̀ kà á sí mímọ́.

In the most holy place shall you eat them; every male shall eat them, you and your sons: they shall be holy to you.

11 “Èyí tún jẹ́ tìrẹ pẹ̀lú: ohunkóhun tí a bá yà sọ́tọ̀ lára ẹ̀bùn ọrẹ fífì àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Mó fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín tí yóò máa ṣe déédé nínú ìdílé rẹ, tí o bá wà ní mímọ́ ni o le jẹ ẹ́.

And this shall be to you of the first fruits of their gifts, of all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; to you have I given them and to your sons and your daughters with you, a perpetual ordinance; every clean person in your house shall eat them.

12 “Mo fún ọ ní gbogbo òróró tí ó dára jùlọ àti gbogbo ọtí tuntun dáradára jùlọ àti ọkà tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa ní àkọ́so ohun ọ̀gbìn wọn tí wọ́n kórè.

Every first-offering of oil, and every first-offering of wine, their first fruits of corn, whatever they may give to the Lord, to you have I given them.

13 Gbogbo àkọ́so nǹkan ilẹ̀ wọ́n tí wọn mú wá fún Olúwa yóò jẹ́ tìrẹ. Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú ìdílé rẹ, àwọn tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ nínú ìdílé rẹ lè jẹ ẹ́.

All the first fruits that are in their land, whatever they shall offer to the Lord, shall be your: every clean person in your house shall eat them.

14 “Gbogbo nǹkan tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa ní Israẹli jẹ́ tìrẹ.

Every devoted thing among the children of Israel shall be your.

15 Gbogbo àkọ́bí nínú gbogbo ohun alààyè tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa, ìbá à jẹ́ ti ènìyàn tàbí ti ẹranko jẹ́ tìrẹ ṣùgbọ́n o gbọdọ̀ ra gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin padà àti àkọ́bí àwọn ẹranko aláìmọ́.

And every thing that opens the womb of all flesh, whatever they bring to the Lord, whether man or beast, shall be your: only the firstborn of men shall be surely redeemed, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean cattle.

16 Nígbà tí wọ́n bá pé oṣù kan, o gbọdọ̀ rà wọ́n padà ní iye owó ìràpadà tí í ṣe ṣékélì márùn-ún fàdákà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ṣékélì ibi mímọ́ tí ó wọn ìwọ̀n ogún gera.

And the redemption of them [shall be] from a month old; their valuation of five shekels—it is twenty oboli according to the holy shekel.

17 “Ṣùgbọ́n o kò gbọdọ̀ ra àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ màlúù, àgùntàn tàbí ewúrẹ́; wọ́n jẹ́ mímọ́. Wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn sórí pẹpẹ kí o sì sun ọ̀rá rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ àfinásun, ẹbọ òórùn dídùn sí Olúwa.

But you shall not redeem the firstborn of calves and the firstborn of sheep and the firstborn of goats; they are holy: and you shall pour their blood upon the altar, and you shall offer the fat as a burnt offering for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.

18 Ẹran wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ tìrẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí igẹ̀ ọrẹ ẹbọ fífì àti itan ọ̀tún ṣe jẹ́ tìrẹ.

And the flesh shall be your, as also the breast of the wave-offering and as the right shoulder, it shall be your.

19 Ohunkóhun tí a bá ti yà sọ́tọ̀ nínú ọrẹ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa ni mo fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe déédé. Ó jẹ́ májẹ̀mú iyọ̀ láéláé níwájú Olúwa fún ìwọ àti ọmọ rẹ.”

Every special offering of the holy things, whatever the children of Israel shall specially offer to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters with you, a perpetual ordinance: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, for you and your seed after you.

20 Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “O kò ní ní ogún nínú ilẹ̀ wọn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò ní ní ìpín láàrín wọn; Èmi ni ìpín àti ogún rẹ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.

And the Lord said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them; for I [am] your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.

21 “Mó ti fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní gbogbo ìdámẹ́wàá ní Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún fún iṣẹ́ tí wọ́n ṣe, nígbà tí wọ́n ń ṣiṣẹ́ níbi àgọ́ ìpàdé.

And, behold, I have given to the sons of Levi every tithe in Israel for an inheritance for their services, whenever they perform ministry in the tabernacle of witness.

22 Láti ìsinsin yìí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ àgọ́ ìpàdé, bí wọ́n bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, wọn yóò jẹ ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, wọn á sì kú.

And the children of Israel shall no more draw near to the tabernacle of witness to incur fatal guilt.

23 Àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní ó gbọdọ̀ ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó wà nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé, wọn yóò sì jìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn bí wọ́n bá kúrò láti ṣe é. Èyí ni ìlànà láéláé fún àwọn ìran tí ó ń bọ̀. Wọn kò nígbà ogún kankan láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.

And the Levite himself shall perform the service of the tabernacle of witness; and they shall bear their iniquities, it is a perpetual statute throughout their generations; and in the midst of the children of Israel they shall not receive an inheritance.

24 Kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, mo fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún wọn, ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́wàá tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pèsè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ sí Olúwa. Èyí ni mo wí nípa wọn. Wọn kò ní gba ogún kankan láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”

Because I have given as a distinct portion to the Levites for an inheritance the tithes of the children of Israel, whatever they shall offer to the Lord; therefore I said to them, In the midst of the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

26 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi kí o sì wí fún wọn pé: ‘Nígbà tí ìdámẹ́wàá bá ń wọlé láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún rẹ. O gbọdọ̀ mú ìdámẹ́wàá lára rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ Olúwa.

You shall also speak to the Levites, and shall say to them, If you take the tithe from the children of Israel, which I have given you from them for an inheritance, then shall you separate from it a heave-offering to the Lord, a tenth of the tenth.

27 A ó ka ọrẹ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkà irúgbìn láti ilẹ̀ ìpakà tàbí wáìnì láti fún wa.

And your heave-offerings shall be reckoned to you as corn from the floor, and an offering from the wine-press.

28 Báyìí ni ìwọ gan an náà yóò mú ọrẹ wa fún Olúwa láti ara ìdámẹ́wàá tí ìwọ gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Láti ara ìdámẹ́wàá ó gbọdọ̀ mú ọrẹ Olúwa fún Aaroni àlùfáà.

So shall you also separate them from all the offerings of the Lord out of all your tithes, whatever you shall receive from the children of Israel; and you shall give of them an offering to the Lord to Aaron the priest.

29 Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín Olúwa èyí tí ó dára jùlọ àti tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ jùlọ lára gbogbo nǹkan tí wọ́n mú wá fún ọ.’

Of all your gifts you shall offer an offering to the Lord, and of every first-fruit the consecrated part from it.

30 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ pé, ‘Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá mú ìpín tí ó dára jù wá, a ó kà á sí fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkórè láti ilẹ̀ ìpakà tàbí ìfúntí yín.

And you shall say to them, When you shall offer the first fruits from it, then shall it be reckoned to the Levites as produce from the threshing floor, and as produce from the wine-press.

31 Ìwọ àti àwọn ìdílé rẹ̀ le jẹ èyí tí ó kù ní ibikíbi gbogbo. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ ọrẹ fún iṣẹ́ rẹ níbi àgọ́ ìpàdé.

And you shall eat it in any place, you and your families; for this is your reward for your services in the tabernacle of witness.

32 Nípa ṣíṣe ìgbékalẹ̀ ìpín tí ó dára jùlọ o kò ní jẹ̀bi lórí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ìwọ kò sì ní ba ọrẹ mímọ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jẹ́, ìwọ kì yóò sì kú.’”

And you shall not bear sin by reason of it, for you shall have offered an offering of first fruits from it, and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you die not.
