Numbers 18
1 Yahweh said to Aaron, “You and your sons and the other members of your father’s family are the ones (who will be punished/whom I will punish) [if anything bad happens to the things] inside the Sacred Tent. But only you and your sons will be punished if the priests do something bad.
斯てヱホバ、アロンに告て言たまはく汝と汝の子等および汝の父祖の家の者は聖所に關れる罪をその身に擔當べしまた汝と汝の子等は汝らがその祭司の職について獲ところの罪をその身に擔當べし
2 Require that those who belong to your tribe, the tribe of Levi, must assist you and your sons while you perform your work at the Sacred Tent.
汝また汝の兄弟たるレビの支派の者すなはち汝の父祖の支派の者等をも率て汝に合せしめ汝に事しむべし但し汝と汝の子等は律法の幕屋の前に侍るべきなり
3 But while they do that work, they must not go near the sacred items inside the tent or near the altar. If they do that, they will die, and you will die, too!
彼らは汝の職守と聖所の職守とを守るべし只聖所の器具と壇とに近くべからず恐くは彼等も汝等も死るならん
4 They may assist you in doing all the work to take care of the Sacred Tent, but no one else is permitted to come near the place where you are working.
彼等は汝に合して集合の幕屋の職守を守り幕屋の諸の役事をなすべきなり外人は汝らに近づく可らず
5 “You are the ones who will do the sacred work inside the Sacred Tent and at the altar. If you obey these instructions, I will not become very angry with the Israeli people again.
斯なんぢらは聖所の職守と祭壇の職守を守るべし然せばヱホバの震怒かさねてイスラエルの子孫に及ぶこと有じ
6 I myself have chosen the descendants of Levi from the other Israelis in order that they may be your special helpers. They are like a gift that I have given you to work at the Sacred Tent.
視よ我なんぢらの兄弟たるレビ人をイスラエルの子孫の中より取りヱホバのために之を賜物として汝らに賜ふて集會の幕屋の役事を爲しむ
7 But it is you and your sons, who are the priests, who must perform all the rituals concerning the altar and with what happens inside the Very Holy Place. I am giving to you this work of serving as priests. So anyone else who tries to do that work must be executed.”
汝と汝の子等は祭司の職を守りて祭壇の上と障蔽の幕の内の一切の事を執おこなひ斯ともに勤むべし我祭司の職の勤務と賜物として汝らに賜ふ外人の近く者は殺されん
8 Yahweh also said to Aaron, “I myself have appointed you to take care of all the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me. I have given all these sacred offerings to you and to your sons. You and your descendants will get a share of these offerings permanently.
ヱホバ又アロンに言たまはく我イスラエルの子孫の諸の聖禮物の中我に擧祭とするところの者をもて汝に賜ひて得さす即ち我これを汝と汝の子等にあたへてその分となさしめ是を永く例となす
9 The parts of the offerings that are not completely burned on the altar belong to you. Those parts of the sacred offerings, including the offerings of grain, the offerings for sins and for the people to be forgiven for not giving me what they are required to give, are set apart, and are to be given to you and your sons.
斯のごとく至聖禮物の中火にて燒ざる者は汝に歸すべし即ちその我に献る諸の禮物素祭罪祭愆祭等みな至聖くして汝と汝らの子等に歸すべし
10 You must eat those offerings in a sacred place, [near the Sacred Tent]. You and all of the other males [in your clan] may eat them, but you must consider those offerings to be holy/dedicated to me.
至聖所にて汝これを食ふべし男子等はみなこれを食ふことを得是は汝に歸すべき聖物たるなり
11 “The priests lift up high the sacred offerings while they are standing in front of the altar. All of those offerings that the Israelis offer to me belong to you and your sons and daughters. They will always be your share. All the members of your family who [have performed the rituals to cause them to] be acceptable to me are permitted to eat from these offerings.
汝に歸すべき物は是なり即ちイスラエルの子孫の献る擧祭と搖祭の物我これを汝と汝の男子と女子に與へ是を永く例となす汝の家の者の中潔き者はみな之を食ふことを得るなり
12 “am [also] giving to you the first food that people harvest each year and bring to me—the best [olive] oil and new wine and grain.
油の嘉者酒の嘉者穀物の嘉者など凡てヱホバに献るその初の物を我なんぢに與ふ
13 All of the first crops that people harvest and bring to me belong to you. Anyone in your family who has [performed the ritual to] become acceptable to me is permitted to eat that food.
最初に成る國の產物の中ヱホバに携へたる者は皆なんぢに歸すべし汝の家の者の中潔き者はみな之を食ふことを得るなり
14 “Everything in Israel that is set apart to belong to me also belongs to you.
イスラエルの人の献納る物は皆汝に歸すべし
15 The firstborn males, both humans and domestic animals, that are offered to me, will be yours. But people must buy back their firstborn sons and the firstborn animals that may not be used for sacrifices.
凡そ血肉ある者の首出子にしてヱホバに献らるる者は人にもあれ畜にもあれ皆なんぢに歸すべし但し人の首出子は必ず贖ふべくまた汚れたる畜獣の首出子も贖ふべきなり
16 They must buy them back when they are one month old. The price that they must pay [for each one] is five pieces of silver. They must weigh the silver on the scales that are in the Sacred Tent.
之を贖ふにはその人の生れて一箇月に至れる後に汝その估價に依り聖所のシケルに循ひて銀五シケルに之を贖ふべし一シケルはすなはち二十ゲラなり
17 “But they are not permitted to buy back the firstborn cattle or sheep or goats. They are holy and have been set apart for me. [Slaughter them and] sprinkle their blood on the altar. Then completely burn the fat of those animals [on the altar] to be an offering to me. The smell as they burn will be very pleasing to me.
然ど牛の首出子羊の首出子山羊の首出子は贖ふべからず是等は聖しその血を壇の上に灑ぎまたその脂を焚て火祭となしてヱホバに馨しき香をたてまつるべし
18 The meat from those offerings will be yours, just like the breast and right thigh of animals that are presented to me to maintain fellowship with me as the priest lifts them up high in front of the altar are yours.
その肉は汝に歸すべし搖る胸と右の腿とおなじく是は汝に歸するなり
19 Anything that the Israeli people present to me as holy/sacred gifts, I am giving to you. They are for you and your sons and daughters [to eat]. They will always be your share. This is an agreement that I am making with you, an agreement that will (last forever/never be changed). I am also making this agreement with your descendants.”
イスラエルの子孫がヱホバに献て擧祭とする所の聖物はみな我これを汝と汝の男子女子に與へこれを永く例となす是はヱホバの前において汝と汝の子孫に對する鹽の契約にして變らざる者なり
20 Yahweh also said to Aaron, “You priests will not receive any of the land or the property like the [other] Israeli people will receive. I am what you will receive.
ヱホバまたアロンに告たまはく汝はイスラエルの子孫の地の中に產業を有べからずまた彼等の中に何の分をも有べからず彼らの中において我は汝の分汝の產業たるなり
21 “Then the Israeli people bring to me a tenth of all [the crops and of their newborn animals], I will give that to you descendants of Levi. That will be your payment for the work you do at the Sacred Tent.
またレビの子孫たる者には我イスラエルの中において物の十分の一を與へて之が產業となし其なすところの役事すなはち集會の幕屋の役事に報ゆ
22 The other Israelis must not go near that tent. If they go near it, [I will consider that their doing that is a sin, and] they will die for committing that sin.
イスラエルの子孫はかさねて集會の幕屋に近づくべからず恐くは罪を負て死ん
23 Only the descendants of Levi are permitted to work at the Sacred Tent, and they will be punished if anything bad happens to it. That is a law that will never be changed. You descendants of Levi will not receive any land among the other Israeli people,
第レビ人集會の幕屋の役事をなすべしまた彼らはその罪な自己の身に負べし彼等はイスラエルの子孫の中に產業の地を有ざる事をもてその例となして汝らの世代の子孫の中に永く之を守るべきなり
24 because I will give you one tenth of all the [crops and animals] that the Israelis bring to be offerings to me. That is why I said that you will not receive any land like the other Israelis will receive.”
イスラエルの子孫が十に一を取り擧祭としてヱホバに献るところの物を我レビ人に與へてその產業となさしむるが故に我かれらにつきて言り彼等はイスラエルの子孫の中に產業の地を得べからずと
25 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
ヱホバ、モーセに告て言たまはく
26 “Tell this to the descendants of Levi: ‘When you receive one tenth of all [the crops and animals] from the Israeli people, you must give one tenth of all that to me to be a sacred offering.
汝かくレビ人に告て之に言べし我がイスラエルの子孫より取て汝等に與へて產業となさしむるその什一の物を汝ら之より受る時はその什一の物の十分の一を献てヱホバの擧祭となすべし
27 Just like the other Israelis give one tenth of the grain and wine that they produce,
汝等の擧祭の物品は禾場よりたてまつる穀物の如く酒醡の内よりたてまつる酒のごとくに見做れん
28 you must give to me one tenth of all that you receive from them. That will be your sacred offering to me. You must present it to Aaron.
此のごとく汝等もまたイスラエルの子孫より受る一切の什一の物の中よりヱホバに擧祭を献げそのヱホバの擧祭を祭司アロンに與ふべし
29 Select the best parts of the things that are given to you to give them to me.’
汝らの受る一切の禮物の中より汝らはその嘉ところ即ちその聖き分を取てヱホバの擧祭を献べし
30 “Also, tell this to the descendants of Levi: ‘When you present those best portions of grain and wine as your offering to me, I will consider that those gifts are as though they came from your own grain fields and vineyards.
汝かく彼等に言べし汝らその中より嘉ところを取て献るに於てはその殘餘の物は汝等レビ人におけること禾場より取る物のごとく酒醡より取る物のごとくならん
31 You descendants of Levi and your families are permitted to eat [the rest of] that food, and you may eat it wherever [you want to], because it is your payment for the work that you do at the Sacred Tent.
汝等と汝らの眷屬何處にても之を食ふことを得べし是は汝らが集會の幕屋に於て爲す役事の報酬たればなり
32 If you give to the priests the best portions of what you receive, you will not be punished [by me] for accepting one tenth of the gifts that the people bring to me. But you must consider those gifts to be sacred/holy. If you sin [by eating those things in ways that are contrary to these regulations that I have given to you], you will be executed.’”
汝らその嘉ところを献るに於ては之がために罪を負こと有じ汝らはイスラエルの子孫の聖別て献る物を汚すべからず恐くは汝ら死ん
