Resansman 18

1 Seyè a di Arawon konsa: -Se ou menm, pitit gason ou yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun nan branch fanmi Levi a, ki va reskonsab tout bagay mal ki pase nan tant yo mete apa pou Bondye a. Men, se ou menm ak pitit gason ou yo ase ki va reskonsab tout bagay mal ki pase nan travay prèt yo gen pou fè a.

And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and the house of thy father with thee, shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, —and, thou, and thy sons with thee, shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 W'a pran fanmi ou yo, moun branch fanmi Levi, granpapa ou la, w'a mete yo ansanm avè ou pou yo ka ede ou, pandan ou menm ak pitit gason ou yo, n'ap fè travay nou devan Tant Randevou a.

Therefore also thy brethren of the tribe of Levi the stem of thy father, bring thou near with thee, and let them be joined unto thee, and let them wait upon thee, —both on thee and on thy sons with thee, before the tent of the testimony.

3 Y'a fè tou sa yo gen pou yo fè pou ou, ak tou sa pou yo fè nan kay Bondye a. Men, se pa pou yo janm pwoche bò bagay yo mete apa pou Bondye yo, ni bò lotèl yo. Si yo fè sa, ni ou menm ni yo menm, n'ap mouri.

So shall they keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tent, —only, unto the vessels of the sanctuary, and unto the altar, shall they not come near, lest they die—both they, and ye.

4 Y'a travay ansanm avè ou, y'a fè tou sa y'a gen pou yo fè nan kay Bondye a, nan tout travay ki gen pou fèt nan kay Bondye a. Pesonn lòt pa gen dwa travay avè ou.

So shall they be joined unto thee, and shall keep the charge of the tent of meeting, as to all the laborious work of the tent, —but a stranger, shall not come near unto you.

5 Men, ou menm ak pitit gason ou yo, n'a fè tou sa nou gen pou nou fè nan kote ki apa pou Seyè a, tou sa nou gen pou nou fè pou lotèl la. Konsa, mwen p'ap janm fache ankò sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.

So shall ye keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, —that there no more be wrath against the sons of Israel.

6 Se mwen menm ki te pran fanmi ou yo, moun Levi yo, ki te chwazi yo nan mitan tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, mwen mete yo apa pou mwen. Se mwen ki ba ou yo pou yo ka travay nan Tant Randevou a.

I, therefore, lo! I have taken your brethren the Levites, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, —unto you, as a gift are they given, unto Yahweh, to do the laborious work of the tent of meeting.

7 Men, se ou menm sèl ak pitit gason ou yo ki pou fè travay prèt yo bò lotèl la ak dèyè rido a. Sa se travay pa nou sa. Mwen ban nou pouvwa pou nou sèvi m' prèt. Se yon kado mwen fè nou. Se pou yo touye nenpòt lòt moun ki va pwoche bò bagay yo mete apa pou mwen yo.

But thou and thy sons with thee, shall keep the charge of your priesthood, as to every matter of the altar and as to the interior of the veil, and shall do the laborious work, as a laborious service of gifts, do I give your priesthood, and, the stranger who cometh near shall be put to death.

8 Apre sa, Seyè a di Arawon konsa: -Chonje mwen pran yon pòsyon nan tout ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè pou mwen, mwen ba ou yo. Se va pòsyon ki va toujou rete pou ou ak pou pitit gason ou yo depi lè mwen te mete nou apa pou mwen an, dapre regleman ki la pou tout tan tout tan an.

And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, I, therefore, lo! I have given unto thee the charge of my heave-offerings, —as to all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel—unto thee, have I given them. as pertaining to the anointing, and unto thy sons. for a statute age-abiding,

9 Nan ofrann yo mete apa nèt pou mwen yo, lè ou fin wete pòsyon pou boule nan dife a, tout rès la va pou nou: tout ofrann grenn ki donnen nan jaden, tout ofrann pou mande Bondye padon, tout ofrann pou repare sa yo fè ki mal. Tou sa yo ofri ban mwen tankou yon ofrann yo mete apa pou mwen, se pou ou ak pou pitit gason ou yo y'a ye.

This, shall be thine, out of the things most holy, out of the fire, —their every oblation—to the extent of their every meal-offering, and their every sin-bearer, and their every guilt-bearer wherewith they make amends unto me, most holy unto thee, shall it be and unto thy sons.

10 N'a manje yo yon kote yo mete apa pou Seyè a. Se gason ase ki pou manje ladan yo. Konsidere ofrann sa yo tankou bagay ki apa pou Seyè a.

As something most holy, shall ye eat it, —every male, shall eat it, holy, shall it be unto thee.

11 Lèfini, tout ofrann espesyal moun pèp Izrayèl yo va fè pou yo balanse devan Seyè a, se pou ou yo va ye tou. M'ap ba ou yo pou ou, pou pitit gason ou yo ak pitit fi ou yo, dapre yon regleman k'ap la pou tout tan tout tan. Tout moun nan fanmi ou ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen va gen dwa manje ladan l'.

This, therefore, shall be thine—the heave-offering of their gift even all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel, unto thee, have I given them and unto thy sons and unto thy daughters with thee by a statute age-abiding, —every one that is clean in thy house, shall eat it.

12 M'ap ba ou tou tousa ki pi bon nan premye fwi rekòt y'ap ofri bay Seyè a chak lanne: lwil oliv, diven ak grenn ki donnen nan jaden.

All the best of oil, and all the best of new-wine and corn, —the firstfruits thereof which they shall give unto Yahweh, unto thee, have I given them.

13 Tout premye fwi ki mi nan peyi a, fwi yo ofri bay Seyè a, se va pou ou tou. Tout moun lakay ou ki nan kondisyon pou sèvi Seyè a va gen dwa manje ladan yo.

The firstfruits of all that is in their land which they shall bring in unto Yahweh, thine, shall it be, —every one that is clean in thy house, shall eat it:

14 Tout bagay moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran angajman mete apa pou Seyè a va pou ou tou.

every devoted thing in Israel, thine, shall it be:

15 Tout premye pitit, kit se pitit moun, kit se pitit bèt, y'a mete yo apa pou mwen, e se pou ou yo va ye tou. Men, se pou ou asepte yo peye ou pou chak premye pitit moun ak tout premye pitit bèt ki pa ka sèvi ofrann pou mwen.

every thing that is born first of all flesh that may be offered unto Yahweh among men and among beasts, shall be thine, —only thou shalt, redeem, the firstborn of men, and the firstborn of unclean beasts, shalt thou redeem.

16 Lè premye pitit gason an va gen yon mwa, w'a fè yo peye ou senk pyès ajan dapre sistèm yo sèvi nan kay Bondye a, -vin gera pou yon pyès ajan-, pou yo ka achte lavi l' nan men m'.

And, as to the redemption price thereof, from a month old, shalt thou redeem, by thine estimate five shekels of silver by the shekel of the sanctuary, —twenty gerahs, it is.

17 Men, pou premye ti mal yon manman bèf osinon yon manman kabrit ou ankò yon manman mouton fè, ou p'ap asepte anyen pou yo. Se bagay ki apa pou mwen nèt. Se pou yo touye yo. Y'a vide san yo sou lotèl la, w'a boule grès yo. Se va yon ofrann y'a boule nèt pou mwen, yon ofrann ki va fè m' plezi ak bon sant li.

Only a firstling ox or a firstling sheep or a firstling goat, shalt thou not redeem, hallowed, they are, —their blood, shalt thou dash against the altar and of their fat, shalt thou make a perfume, an altar-flame, for a satisfying odour unto Yahweh:

18 Men, vyann yo va rete pou ou ansanm ak vyann pwatrin lan ak jigo dwat ki te deja pou ou a.

and their flesh, shall be thine, —as the wave-breast and as the right leg, thine, shall it be:

19 M'ap ba ou pou ou menm, pou pitit gason ak pitit fi ou yo tout pòsyon ki va rete nan ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo va mete apa pou mwen. Se va yon regleman k'ap la pou tout tan tout tan. Se yon kontra ki p'ap janm kase ni ki p'ap janm gate mwen fè la avèk ou, pou ou ak pou tout ras fanmi ou.

all the heave-offerings of the holy things which the sons of Israel shall heave up unto Yahweh, have I given unto thee and unto thy sons and unto thy daughters with thee by a statute age-abiding, —an age-abiding covenant of salt, it is before Yahweh, for thee and for thy seed with thee.

20 Apre sa, Seyè a di Arawon konsa: -Ou p'ap jwenn okenn pòsyon nan tè eritaj ki pou pèp la. Ou p'ap janm gen yon moso tè ki va rele ou pa ou nan peyi a. Se mwen menm ki tout ou, se mwen menm ki tout byen ou nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.

Then said Yahweh unto Aaron: In their land, thou shalt have no inheritance, and no allotted portion, shalt thou have in their midst, —I, am thine allotted portion and thine inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.

21 Seyè a di konsa: -Mwen mete tout ladim moun Izrayèl yo va bay la apa pou moun branch fanmi Levi yo, pou sèvis y'ap rann nan tanp lan, pou travay y'ap fè nan Tant Randevou a.

And unto the sons of Levi, lo! I have given all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, —the allotted portion for their laborious work which, they are performing, the laborious work of the tent of meeting:

22 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa janm bezwen preche bò Tant Randevou a. Konsa, yo p'ap rive fè yon peche ki pou ta fè yo mouri.

that the sons of Israel come near no more, unto the tent of meeting, —to bear sin, to die.

23 Depi koulye a, se moun Levi yo ki va pran swen tout bagay nan Tant Randevou a. Y'a reskonsab pou tout bagay mal y'a fè. Sa se yon lòd sevè pou tout moun swiv de pitit an pitit. Se konsa yo menm tou, yo p'ap gen tè k'ap rele yo pa yo pou tout tan nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.

So shall the Levites themselves perform the laborious work of the tent of meeting, and, they, shall bear their iniquity, a statute age-abiding, unto your generations, and in the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance.

24 M'ap bay moun Levi yo tout ladim moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran sou sa yo genyen pou ofri bay Seyè a. Se poutèt sa, mwen di moun fanmi Levi yo p'ap gen okenn pòsyon tè ki pou rele yo pa yo nan peyi Izrayèl la.

Because the tenth of the sons of Israel which they shall offer up unto Yahweh as a heave-offering, have I given unto the Levites as an inheritance, —for this cause, said I regarding them, In the midst of the sons of Israel, shall they take no inheritance.

25 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ankò, li di l':

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

26 -Pale ak moun Levi yo, di yo konsa: Lè n'a resevwa nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo ladim Seyè a ban nou pou byen pa nou, n'a wete yon dizyèm ladan l' pou mwen. Se va ofrann ladim pa nou bay Seyè a.

Unto the Levites, therefore shalt thou speak and shalt say unto them, When ye shall take of the sons of Israel the tenth which I have given unto you from them as your inheritance, then shall ye offer up therefrom the heave-offering of Yahweh, a tenth of the tenth.

27 Y'a konsidere ofrann sa a tankou ofrann lòt moun yo fè sou farin ble ak diven apre chak rekòt.

So shall your heave-offering be reckoned your own, —as corn out of the threshing-floor, and as the abundance out of the wine-press.

28 Konsa, nou menm tou, n'a pran yon pòsyon nan tout ofrann ladim moun pèp Izrayèl yo va fè, n'a mete l' apa pou mwen. Epi n'a pran pòsyon nou wete pou Seyè a nan sa ki pou nou an, n'a bay Arawon, prèt la, li pou tèt pa li.

Thus, shall ye also, offer up the heave-offering of Yahweh, out of all your tenths which ye shall take from the sons of Israel, —and give therefrom the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Aaron the priest.

29 N'a pran sa ki pi bon nan tout sa ki pou nou an, n'a ofri l' bay Seyè a.

Out of all your gifts, shall ye offer up every heave-offering of Yahweh, —out of all the best thereof, the hallowed pert thereof out of it.

30 W'a di yo tou: Lè moun Levi yo fin pran sa ki pi bon nan tou sa ki pou vin pou yo a, y'a konsidere rès ki rete a tankou rekòt farin ble ak diven yo menm yo fè.

And thou shalt say unto them, —When ye offer the best thereof out of it, then shall it be reckoned to belong unto the Levites, as the increase of the threshing-floor and as the increase of the wine-press,

31 Y'a manje l' kote yo vle, ansanm ak tout moun lakay yo. Se tankou lajan yo ba yo pou travay y'ap fè nan Tant Randevou a.

And ye shall eat it in any place, ye, and your household, —for a reward, it is unto you, the allotted portion for your laborious work in the tent of meeting.

32 Depi nou ofri sa ki pi bon an bay Seyè a, nou mèt manje rès la san kè sote, anyen p'ap rive nou. Piga nou derespekte bagay moun pèp Izrayèl yo mete apa pou mwen. Si nou fè sa, n'ap mouri.

And ye shall not by reason of it bear sin, when ye offer up the best thereof, out of it; and the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, shall ye not profane neither shall ye die.
