< Numbers 18 >

1 And the Lord sayd vnto Aaron, Thou, and thy sonnes and thy fathers house with thee, shall beare the iniquitie of the Sanctuarie: both thou and thy sonnes with thee shall beare the iniquitie of your Priestes office.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Erọn sị, “Gị, na ụmụ gị ndị ikom gị, na ezinaụlọ nna gị ga-ebu ahụhụ ajọ omume metụtara ebe nsọ ahụ. Gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom naanị ka ọ dị nʼaka ịsa ajụjụ ihe ọjọọ ọbụla banyere ọrụ nchụaja.
2 And bring also with thee thy brethren of the tribe of Leui of ye familie of thy father, which shalbe ioyned with thee, and minister vnto thee: but thou, and thy sonnes with thee shall minister before the Tabernacle of the Testimonie:
Site nʼebo unu kpọbata ụmụnna gị ndị Livayị ka ha sonyere gị ma nyere gị aka mgbe gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom na-eje ozi nʼụlọ nzute Ihe Ama.
3 And they shall keepe thy charge, euen the charge of all the Tabernacle: but they shall not come neere the instruments of the Sanctuary, nor to the altar, lest they die, both they and you:
Ha ga-anọ gị nʼokpuru ije ozi niile nʼụlọ nzute, ma ha agaghị abịaru nso ngwongwo e ji chọọ ebe nsọ ahụ mma, maọbụ nʼebe ịchụ aja. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, gị na ha ga-anwụ.
4 And they shalbe ioyned with thee, and keepe the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation for all the seruice of the Tabernacle: and no stranger shall come neere vnto you:
Ha ka ọ dịrị, isonye gị nʼilekọta ụlọ ikwu ahụ, ya bụ, ihe niile metụtara ụlọ ikwu anya. O nweghị onye ọzọ nke ga-abịa nso ebe ị nọ.
5 Therefore shall ye keepe the charge of the Sanctuarie, and the charge of the altar: so there shall fall no more wrath vpon the children of Israel.
“Gị ka ọ dịrị ilekọta ihe niile metụtara ebe nsọ ahụ, na ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, ka oke iwe Onyenwe anyị ghara ịdakwasị onye ọbụla nʼala Izrel ọzọ.
6 For lo, I haue taken your brethren the Leuites from among the children of Israel, which as a gift of yours, are giuen vnto the Lord, to do the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Mụ onwe m ahọpụtala ụmụnna gị ndị Livayị site nʼetiti ndị Izrel, were ha nye gị dịka onyinye, ka ha bụrụ ndị e doro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị maka ịrụ ọrụ ụlọ nzute.
7 But thou, and thy sonnes with thee shall keepe your Priestes office for all things of the altar, and within the vaile: therefore shall ye serue: for I haue made your Priestes office an office of seruice: therefore the stranger that cometh neere, shalbe slayne.
Ma ọ bụ naanị gị, na ụmụ gị ndị ikom, ga-aga ozi dịka ndị nchụaja, ozi metụtara ebe ịchụ aja, na ihe niile dị nʼazụ akwa mgbochi ahụ. Ana m enye gị ọrụ nchụaja dịka onyinye. Onye ọbụla ọzọ bịara nso ebe nsọ ahụ ga-anwụ.”
8 Againe the Lord spake vnto Aaron, Behold, I haue giuen thee the keeping of mine offrings, of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel: vnto thee I haue giuen them for the anoyntings sake, and to thy sonnes, for a perpetuall ordinance.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Erọn okwu sị ya, “Mụ onwe m emeela gị onye nlekọta onyinye niile a na-eche nʼihu m, onyinye niile dị nsọ nke ụmụ Izrel wetara m ka m na-enye gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom dịka oke ruuru unu site nʼụkpụrụ ebighị ebi.
9 This shalbe thine of the most holy things, reserued from the fire: all their offering of all their meate offring, and of all their sinne offring, and of all their trespasse offring, which they bring vnto me, that shalbe most holy vnto thee, and to thy sonnes.
Unu ga-enwere akụkụ aja ahụ kachasị nsọ nke a na-edopụ iche site nʼọkụ. Site nʼonyinye niile nke a na-ewetara m, bụ onyinye mkpụrụ ọka maọbụ aja mmehie maọbụ aja ikpe ọmụma, ndị ahụ a na-edopụ iche dịka ihe kachasị nsọ, ha ga-abụ oke gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom.
10 In the most holy place shalt thou eate it: euery male shall eate of it: it is holy vnto thee.
A ga-eri ha dịka ihe dịkarịrị nsọ. Nwa nwoke ọbụla ga-eri ya. Unu ga-agụ ha dịka ihe dị nsọ.
11 This also shalbe thine: the heaue offering of their gift, with all the shake offerings of the children of Israel: I haue giuen them vnto thee and to thy sonnes and to thy daughters with thee, to be a duetie for euer al the cleane in thine house shall eate of it.
“Nke a bụkwa nke gị: Ihe ọbụla nke ewezugara site nʼonyinye nke aja mfufe niile nke ndị Izrel wetara. Mụ onwe m na-ewere nke a nye gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom, na ụmụ gị ndị inyom dịka oke unu nʼụkpụrụ ebighị ebi. Onye ọbụla nke dooro onwe ya ọcha nʼezinaụlọ nwere ike iri ya.
12 All the fat of the oyle, and all the fat of the wine, and of the wheate, which they shall offer vnto the Lord for their first fruites, I haue giuen them vnto thee.
“Ana m enye gị mmanụ oliv nke kachasị mma, na mmanya ọhụrụ nke kachasị mma na ọka, bụ mkpụrụ mbụ nke owuwe ihe ubi ha na-ewetara Onyenwe anyị.
13 And the first ripe of al that is in their land, which they shall bring vnto Lord, shalbe thine: all the cleane in thine house shall eate of it.
Mkpụrụ mbụ nke ihe niile dị nʼala nke ha na-ewebatara Onyenwe anyị, ga-abụ nke gị. Onye ọbụla nke dị ọcha nʼezinaụlọ unu nwere ike iso rie ya.
14 Euery thing separate from the common vse in Israel, shalbe thine.
“Ihe niile e doro nsọ nʼala Izrel niile nye Onyenwe anyị bụ nke gị.
15 All that first openeth the matrice of any flesh, which they shall offer vnto the Lord, of man or beast, shalbe thine: but the first borne of man shalt thou redeeme, and the first borne of the vncleane beast shalt thou redeeme.
Ihe niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ, nke e nyere Onyenwe anyị dịka onyinye, bụ nke gị. Ma unu aghaghị ịgbara ụmụ ndị ikom niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ, na ụmụ oke anụ ụlọ niile e bụ ụzọ mụọ ndị na-adịghị ọcha.
16 And those that are to bee redeemed, shalt thou redeeme from the age of a moneth, according to thy estimation, for the money of fiue shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie, which is twentie gerahs.
Mgbe ha dị otu ọnwa, a ga-eji shekel ọlaọcha ise, nʼusoro shekel ebe nsọ, nke bụ iri ihe ọtụtụ gera abụọ gbapụta ha.
17 But the first borne of a kow, or the first borne of a sheepe, or the first borne of a goate shalt thou not redeeme: for they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood at the altar, and thou shalt burne their fat: it is a sacrifice made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.
“Ma a gaghị agbara nwa ehi mbụ, maọbụ nwa atụrụ mbụ maọbụ nwa ewu mbụ. Ha dị nsọ. Fesa ọbara ha nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ, ma kpọọ abụba ha ọkụ dịka onyinye e nyere site nʼọkụ, nke na-esi isi ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị.
18 And the flesh of them shalbe thine, as the shake breast, and as the right shoulder shalbe thine.
Ozu anụ ndị a niile e gburu ga-abụ nke gị, dịka obi anụ na apata ụkwụ aka nri anụ nke aja mfufe a na-eche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ịchụ aja si bụrụ nke gị.
19 All the heaue offrings of the holy things which the children of Israel shall offer vnto the Lord, haue I giuen thee, and thy sonnes, and thy daughters with thee, to be a duetie for euer: it is a perpetual couenant of salt before the Lord, to thee, and to thy seede with thee.
Ihe ọbụla e dopụrụ iche site nʼonyinye nsọ niile ụmụ Izrel chere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ka m na-enye gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom, na ụmụ gị ndị inyom dịka oke ruuru unu nʼụkpụrụ ebighị ebi. Ọ bụ ọgbụgba ndụ nnu ebighị ebi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị.”
20 And the Lord sayde vnto Aaron, Thou shalt haue none inheritance in their lande, neyther shalt thou haue any parte among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Erọn okwu sị ya, “Unu agaghị enwe ihe nketa nke ala, a gaghị ekenyekwa unu ala ọbụla nʼala Izrel niile. Nʼihi na mụ onwe m bụ oke na ihe nketa unu nwere nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel.
21 For beholde, I haue giuen the children of Leui all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their seruice which they serue in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
“Enyela m ndị Livayị, onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri ahụ ụmụ Izrel niile na-akwụbatara m. Nke a bụ ihe nketa ha nʼihi ọrụ ha na-arụ nʼụlọ nzute.
22 Neyther shall the children of Israel any more come neere the Tabernacle of the Congregation, lest they susteine sinne, and die.
Site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, o nweghị onye Izrel ọbụla kwesiri ịbịa nso ụlọ nzute ahụ, ka ha ghara iwetara onwe ha ikpe ọmụma, mmehie na ọnwụ.
23 But the Leuites shall do the seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and they shall beare their sinne: it is a law for euer in your generations, that among the children of Israel they possesse none inheritance.
Ọ bụ naanị ụmụ Livayị ga-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọ nzute ahụ. Ha ka ọ dịrị ibu ahụhụ ajọ omume ọbụla banyere ejezighị ozi nke ụlọ nzute. Ụkpụrụ a ga-adị ebighị ebi ruo ọgbọ niile dị nʼihu. Ndị Livayị agaghị enwe ihe nketa nke aka ha nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel.
24 For the tythes of the children of Israel, which they shall offer as an offring vnto the Lord, I haue giuen the Leuites for an inheritance: therfore I haue said vnto them, Among the children of Israel ye shall possesse none inheritance.
Kama, enyela m ndị Livayị onyinye otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri ahụ niile ndị Izrel na-ewetara Onyenwe anyị ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha. Ọ bụ nke a mere m ji kwuo sị, ‘Ha agaghị enweta ihe nketa nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel.’”
25 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Onyenwe anyị gwakwara Mosis okwu sị,
26 Speake also vnto the Leuites and say vnto them, When ye shall take of the children of Israel the tithes, which I haue giuen you of them for your inheritance, then shall ye take an heaue offring of that same for the Lord, euen the tenth part of the tithe.
“Gwa ndị Livayị okwu sị, ‘Mgbe unu si nʼaka ụmụ Izrel nata onyinye otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri ahụ m nyere unu dịka ihe nketa, unu aghaghị isite nʼonyinye ahụ nye otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri dịka onyinye nye Onyenwe anyị.
27 And your heaue offering shalbe reckened vnto you, as the corne of the barne, or as the abundance of the wine presse.
A ga-agụ onyinye unu wetara dịka ọ bụ onyinye ọka unu si nʼebe ịzọcha ọka weta, maọbụ dịka mmanya unu si nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya weta.
28 So ye shall also offer an heaue offring vnto the Lord of all your tithes, which ye shall receiue of the children of Israel, and ye shall giue thereof the Lords heaue offring to Aaron the Priest.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, unu onwe unu ga-eche onyinye unu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị site nʼonyinye otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri unu si nʼaka ụmụ Izrel nata. Site nʼonyinye ndị a unu natara, unu ga-enye Erọn onye nchụaja onyinye ahụ ruuru Onyenwe anyị.
29 Ye shall offer of all your gifts al the Lords heaue offrings: of all the fat of the same shall ye offer the holy things thereof.
Onyinye unu ga-enye dịka nke ruuru Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ akụkụ onyinye ndị ahụ kachasị mma, na ndị kachasị ịdị nsọ.’
30 Therefore thou shalt say vnto them, When ye haue offred the fat thereof, then it shalbe couted vnto the Leuites, as the encrease of the corne floore, or as the encrease of the wine presse.
“Gwa ndị Livayị okwu sị ha, ‘Mgbe unu wetara akụkụ onyinye ndị ahụ kachasị mma, a ga-agụnyere unu ya dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ onyinye unu si nʼebe ịzọcha ọka, na nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya vaịnị unu weta.
31 And ye shall eate it in al places, ye, and your housholdes: for it is your wages for your seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Unu na ezinaụlọ unu nwere ike iri ndị fọdụrụ nʼụlọ unu, maọbụ nʼebe ọbụla masịrị unu, nʼihi na ha bụ ụgwọ ọrụ unu nʼihi ozi niile unu jere nʼụlọ nzute.
32 And ye shall beare no sinne by the reason of it, when ye haue offred the fatte of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
Ikpe ọmụma agaghị adịrị unu mgbe unu na-eri ya ma ọ bụrụ na unu chere onyinye ndị ahụ kachasị mma nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ma kpachapụnụ anya hụ na unu e merụghị onyinye ndị a dị nsọ ụmụ Izrel webatara. Ọ bụrụ na unu emee nke a, unu ga-anwụ.’”
