民数记 18

1 耶和华对亚伦说：“你和你的儿子，并你本族的人，要一同担当干犯圣所的罪孽。你和你的儿子也要一同担当干犯祭司职任的罪孽。

Jehovah said to Aaron, "You and your sons and your fathers' 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 你要带你弟兄利未人，就是你祖宗支派的人前来，使他们与你联合，服事你，只是你和你的儿子，要一同在法柜的帐幕前供职。

Your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony.

3 他们要守所吩咐你的，并守全帐幕，只是不可挨近圣所的器具和坛，免得他们和你们都死亡。

They shall keep your commands, and the duty of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you.

4 他们要与你联合，也要看守会幕，办理帐幕一切的事，只是外人不可挨近你们。

They shall be joined to you, and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you.

5 你们要看守圣所和坛，免得忿怒再临到以色列人。

"You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary, and the duty of the altar; that there be no more wrath on the children of Israel.

6 我已将你们的弟兄利未人从以色列人中拣选出来归耶和华，是给你们为赏赐的，为要办理会幕的事。

And as for me, look, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel; they are a gift to you, given to Jehovah, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.

7 你和你的儿子要为一切属坛和幔子内的事一同守祭司的职任。你们要这样供职；我将祭司的职任给你们当作赏赐事奉我。凡挨近的外人必被治死。”

You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything concerning the altar, and for that inside the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death."

8 耶和华晓谕亚伦说：“我已将归我的举祭，就是以色列人一切分别为圣的物，交给你经管；因你受过膏，把这些都赐给你和你的子孙，当作永得的分。

Jehovah spoke to Aaron, "I, look, I have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.

9 以色列人归给我至圣的供物，就是一切的素祭、赎罪祭、赎愆祭，其中所有存留不经火的，都为至圣之物，要归给你和你的子孙。

This shall be yours of the most holy things from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.

10 你要拿这些当至圣物吃；凡男丁都可以吃。你当以此物为圣。

You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.

11 以色列人所献的举祭并摇祭都是你的；我已赐给你和你的儿女，当作永得的分；凡在你家中的洁净人都可以吃。

"This is yours, too: the wave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion forever. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

12 凡油中、新酒中、五谷中至好的，就是以色列人所献给耶和华初熟之物，我都赐给你。

"All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to Jehovah, to you have I given them.

13 凡从他们地上所带来给耶和华初熟之物也都要归与你。你家中的洁净人都可以吃。

The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Jehovah, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

14 以色列中一切永献的都必归与你。

"Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.

15 他们所有奉给耶和华的，连人带牲畜，凡头生的，都要归给你；只是人头生的，总要赎出来；不洁净牲畜头生的，也要赎出来。

Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Jehovah, both of man and animal shall be yours: nevertheless you shall surely redeem the firstborn of man, and you shall redeem the firstborn of unclean animals.

16 其中在一月之外所当赎的，要照你所估定的价，按圣所的平，用银子五舍客勒赎出来（一舍客勒是二十季拉）。

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

17 只是头生的牛，或是头生的绵羊和山羊，必不可赎，都是圣的，要把它的血洒在坛上，把它的脂油焚烧，当作馨香的火祭献给耶和华。

"But you shall not redeem the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat. They are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.

18 它的肉必归你，像被摇的胸、被举的右腿归你一样。

Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.

19 凡以色列人所献给耶和华圣物中的举祭，我都赐给你和你的儿女，当作永得的分。这是给你和你的后裔、在耶和华面前作为永远的盐约。”

All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Jehovah, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before Jehovah to you and to your descendants with you."

20 耶和华对亚伦说：“你在以色列人的境内不可有产业，在他们中间也不可有分。我就是你的分，是你的产业。”

Jehovah said to Aaron, "You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 “凡以色列中出产的十分之一，我已赐给利未的子孙为业；因他们所办的是会幕的事，所以赐给他们为酬他们的劳。

"To the descendants of Levi, look, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the Tent of Meeting.

22 从今以后，以色列人不可挨近会幕，免得他们担罪而死。

Hereafter the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.

23 惟独利未人要办会幕的事，担当罪孽；这要作你们世世代代永远的定例。他们在以色列人中不可有产业；

But the Levites shall do the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

24 因为以色列人中出产的十分之一，就是献给耶和华为举祭的，我已赐给利未人为业。所以我对他们说：‘在以色列人中不可有产业。’”

For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, 'Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.'"

25 耶和华吩咐摩西说：

Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

26 “你晓谕利未人说：你们从以色列人中所取的十分之一，就是我给你们为业的，要再从那十分之一中取十分之一作为举祭献给耶和华，

"Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and tell them, 'When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a wave offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.

27 这举祭要算为你们场上的谷，又如满酒榨的酒。

Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.

28 这样，你们从以色列人中所得的十分之一也要作举祭献给耶和华，从这十分之一中，将所献给耶和华的举祭归给祭司亚伦。

Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Jehovah of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Jehovah's wave offering to Aaron the priest.

29 奉给你们的一切礼物，要从其中将至好的，就是分别为圣的，献给耶和华为举祭。

Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering of Jehovah, of all its best, even the holy part of it out of it.'

30 所以你要对利未人说：你们从其中将至好的举起，这就算为你们场上的粮，又如酒榨的酒。

"Therefore you shall tell them, 'When you heave its best from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 你们和你们家属随处可以吃；这原是你们的赏赐，是酬你们在会幕里办事的劳。

You shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.

32 你们从其中将至好的举起，就不至因这物担罪。你们不可亵渎以色列人的圣物，免得死亡。”

You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.'"
