Numbers 18
1 The LORD 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.
Angraeng mah Aaron khaeah, Hmuenciim ah sak ih na zae haih pongah loe, nangmah hoi na caanawk, nam pa ih imthung takohnawk mah na zok o tih; qaima toksakhaih pongah zaehaih na sak nahaeloe, nangmah hoi na caanawk mah zok o tih.
2 Bring your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, 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.
Nam pa acaeng, Levi acaengnawk thung ih nam nawkamyanawk to nangcae hoi nawnto toksak han kawk ah; toe nangmah hoi na caanawk loe hnukung kahni imthung ah tok na sah o tih.
3 They shall keep your commands and the duty of the whole 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.
Levi caanawk loe angmacae ih tok hoi kahni imthung ah sak han koi toknawk boih to sah o tih; toe hmaicam hoi hmuenciim ih laom sabaenawk taengah caeh o mak ai; caeh o nahaeloe, nihcae doeh, nangcae doeh na dueh o boih tih.
4 They shall be joined to you and keep the responsibility of the Tent of Meeting, for all the service of the Tent. A stranger shall not come near to you.
Nihcae loe nangcae hoi nawnto toksah o ueloe, kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im to khenzawn o tih; kahni imthung ah sak han koi toknawk boih to sah o tih; asaeng ai kalah kami loe na taengah anghnaih o han om ai.
5 “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.
Israel kaminawk nuiah palungphuihaih phak let han ai ah, nangcae loe hmuenciim hoi hmaicam to khenzawn oh.
6 Behold, I myself have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel. They are a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.
Khenah, Israel kaminawk salak hoiah nam nawkamya Levi kaminawk to ka qoih boeh, amkhuenghaih kahni im ah tok a sak o hanah, Angraeng khaeah paek ih angbawnhaih hmuen baktih toengah nangcae hanah paek boeh.
7 You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil. You shall serve. I give you the service of the priesthood as a gift. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
To pongah nangmah hoi na caanawk loe, hmaicam hoi kahni payanghaih thungah kaom, qaima ih toknawk boih to sah oh; nangcae khaeah qaima toksakhaih to tangqum ah kang paek boeh; kasaeng ai nang khaeah angzo kami loe paduek han oh, tiah a naa.
8 The LORD spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I myself have given you the command of my wave offerings, even all the holy things of the children of Israel. I have given them to you by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion forever.
To pacoengah Angraeng mah Aaron khaeah, Khenah, Israel kaminawk mah kaciim ah kai khaeah paek o ih hmuennawk to nang han kang paek boih boeh; nangmah hoi na caanawk mah dungzan ah toep hanah taham ah kang paek boeh.
9 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.
Hmai thungah pha ai, nihcae mah kai khaeah kaciim koek ah paek o ih hmuennawk boih, cang paekhaih, zae loisak han paek ih hmuennawk boih, sakpazaehaih loisak han paek ih hmuennawk boih loe, nangmah hoi na caanawk hanah kaciim koek ah om tih.
10 You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
To hmuennawk to kaciim koek ahmuen ah caa ah; nangcae han ciimcai hmuen ah oh pongah, nongpa boih mah caak thaih.
11 “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.
To pacoengah Israel kaminawk mah paek ih hmuennawk hoi tangqum ah paek ih hmuennawk boih to, nangmah hoi na capa hoi na canunawk mah dungzan ah toep hanah atawk baktiah paek ih, nangcae ih qawk ah om tih; na imthung takoh ah kaom kaciim kaminawk mah to hmuennawk to caa o tih.
12 “I have given to you all the best of the oil, all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first fruits of them which they give to the LORD.
Nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah paek ih kathai tangsuek thingthai, kahoih koek situinawk, kahoih koek misurtuinawk hoi cang to, nangcae han kang paek boeh.
13 The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the LORD, shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
Nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah sin o ih, lawk thungah kathai tangsuek hmuennawk boih loe, nangcae ih hmuen ah om tih; na imthung takoh ah kaom ciimcai kaminawk mah to hmuennawk to caa o tih.
14 “Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
Israel kaminawk mah angbawnhaih sak hanah Angraeng khaeah paek o ih hmuennawk boih loe nangcae ih hmuen ah om tih.
15 Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to the LORD, 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.
Tapen tangsuek capa maw, to tih ai boeh loe kami maw, to tih ai boeh loe pacah ih moi maw, Angraeng khaeah paek ih hmuennawk boih loe nangcae taham ah om tih; toe na calu hoi ciimcai ai tapen tangsuek moinawk loe nangmacae mah akrang oh.
16 You shall redeem those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old, according to your estimation, for five shekels of money, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which weighs twenty gerahs.
Akrang han koi caanawk loe khrah to akoep naah, akrang han atho khaeh ih baktih, hmuenciim ih shekel tahhaih baktih toengah, gerah pumphaeto hoi kangvan shekel pangato hoiah akrang oh.
17 “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 the LORD.
Toe tapen tangsuek maitaw tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tapen tangsuek tuu tae maw, to tih ai boeh loe tapen tangsuek maeh tae loe na krang o mak ai; to moinawk loe ciim o pongah, nihcae ih athii to hmaicam ah haeh ah, athawknawk loe Angraeng khaeah hmuihoih ah paek hanah, hmai hoi angbawnhaih to sah oh.
18 Their meat shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
Angan, saoek hoi bantang bang ih palaeng loe nangcae taham ah om tih.
19 All the wave offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel offer to the LORD, I have given you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever. It is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD to you and to your offspring with you.”
Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah paek ih kaciim hmuennawk boih loe, nangmah hoi na capanawk hoi na canunawk mah dungzan ah toep hanah, atawk baktiah kang paek boeh; hae loe nangmah hoi na caanawk han Angraeng hmaa ah paloi hoiah sak ih dungzan lokmaihaih ah om tih, tiah a naa.
20 The LORD 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.
Angraeng mah Aaron khaeah, Nang loe nihcae ih prae thungah, qawktoep han ih ahmuen, nihcae salakah na tawnh ih hmuen tidoeh om mak ai; kai loe Israel kaminawk salakah, nangcae taham ah ka oh moe, nangcae mah toep han koi qawk ah ka oh.
21 “To the children of Levi, behold, 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.
Khenah, Levi kaminawk loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ah toksak o pongah, nihcae mah qawktoep hanah Israel kaminawk ih hmuen hato thungah maeto ka paek boeh.
22 Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
Vaihi hoi kamtong Israel kaminawk loe amkhuenghaih kahni im taengah anghnai o mak ai boeh; anghnai o nahaeloe angmacae zaehaih atho to zok o ueloe, dueh o moeng tih.
23 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. Among the children of Israel, they shall have no inheritance.
Levi kaminawk khue mah ni amkhuenghaih kahni imthung ih tok to sah o tih, nihcae mah kamsoem ai hmuen to sah o nahaeloe, angmacae zaehaih atho to zok o tih; hae loe angzo han koi na caanawk khoek to dungzan ah pazui hanah paek ih daan lok ah oh; nihcae loe Israel kaminawk salakah toep han koi qawk tawn o mak ai.
24 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to the LORD, 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.’”
Toe Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah paek o ih hato thungah maeto loe, Levinawk mah qawk ah toep o hanah ka paek boeh; to pongah ni nihcae khaeah, Israel kaminawk salakah qawktoep han tawn o mak ai, tiah ka thuih, tiah a naa.
25 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
26 “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 the LORD, a tithe of the tithe.
Levi kaminawk khaeah, Nangcae mah qawktoep han kang paek o ih Israel kaminawk khae ih hato thungah maeto na lak o naah, nangcae mah doeh hato thungah maeto Angraeng khaeah paek o patoeng hanah thui paeh.
27 Your wave offering shall be credited to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the wine press.
Nangcae mah hae tiah na paek o ih hmuennawk loe, cang atithaih ahmuen hoiah paek ih cang, misurtui pasawhhaih ahmuen hoiah paek ih misurtui baktiah poek pae tih.
28 Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to the LORD of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give the LORD’s wave offering to Aaron the priest.
Nangcae mah doeh Israel kaminawk khae hoi na hak o ih hato thungah maeto to, Angraeng khaeah paek o toeng ah; to tiah Angraeng khaeah paek ih hmuen to qaima Aaron hanah paek oh.
29 Out of all your gifts, you shall offer every wave offering to the LORD, of all its best parts, even the holy part of it.’
Nangcae khaeah paek ih hmuennawk boih thungah, kahoih koek hoi kaciim koek hmuen to Angraeng han paek oh.
30 “Therefore you shall tell them, ‘When you heave its best from it, then it shall be credited to the Levites as the increase of the threshing floor, and as the increase of the wine press.
To pongah Levi kaminawk khaeah, Nangcae mah kahoih koek hmuen na paek o naah, na paek o ih hmuen to cang atithaih ahmuen, misurtui pasawhaih ahmuen hoi paek ih hmuen baktiah poek pae tih, tiah thui paeh.
31 You may eat it anywhere, you and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the Tent of Meeting.
Kamtlai to loe nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih mah kawbaktih ahmuen ah doeh na caak o thaih; to hmuen loe kaminawk amkhuenghaih kahni im ah toksakhaih atho ah paek ih tangqum ah om tih.
32 You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best. You shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.’”
Kahoih koek hmuen na paek o pacoengah, kamtlai na caak o ih hmuen nuiah zaehaih om ai; Israel kaminawk mah paek ih kaciim hmuennawk to amhnong o sak hmah, to tih ai nahaeloe na dueh o moeng tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
