Numbers 18
1 Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Ìwọ, àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti ìdílé baba rẹ ni yóò ru gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí wọ́n ti dá fún ilé tí a yà sí mímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run, àti ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ nìkan ni yóò máa ru ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ iṣẹ́ àlùfáà yín.
Yahweh said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your ancestor's clan will be responsible for all sins committed against the sanctuary. But only you and your sons with you will be responsible for all sins committed by anyone in the priesthood.
2 Kí o sì mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ará Lefi láti ẹ̀yà ìran rẹ láti dàpọ̀ mọ́ ìwọ láti ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ nígbà tí ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin bá ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ níwájú Àgọ́ ẹ̀rí.
As for your fellow members of the tribe of Levi, your ancestors' tribe, you must bring them with you so they may join you and help you when you and your sons serve in front of the tent of the covenant decrees.
3 Àwọn ni ó yẹ láti dúró fún ọ àti láti ṣe gbogbo iṣẹ́ ti Àgọ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ ibi tí a ti ṣe lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ tí a sì yà sí mímọ́ tàbí ibi pẹpẹ, tàbí gbogbo wọn àti ìwọ ló máa kú.
They must serve you and the whole tent. However, they must not come near to anything in the holy place or connected with the altar, or they and also you will die.
4 Ó yẹ kí wọ́n darapọ̀ mọ́ ọ láti jẹ ìyà iṣẹ́ fún àìtọ́jú ibi ti àgọ́ ìpàdé àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní ibi àgọ́, àti wí pé kò sí àlejò tí ó le wá sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibi tí o wà.
They must join you and take care of the tent of meeting, for all the work connected with the tent. A foreigner must not come near you.
5 “Kí o sì mójútó iṣẹ́ ibi mímọ́ àti iṣẹ́ ibi pẹpẹ, kí ìbínú má ba wá sí orí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli mọ́.
You must take responsibility for the holy place and for the altar so that my anger does not come on the people of Israel again.
6 Èmi fúnra mi ti yan àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tí í ṣe ọmọ Lefi kún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yòókù, wọn jẹ́ ẹ̀bùn fún ọ, èyí ni a fún Olúwa láti ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní àgọ́ ìpàdé.
Look, I myself have chosen your fellow members of the Levites from among the descendants of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to me to do the work connected to the tent of meeting.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ni yóò mójútó iṣẹ́ àlùfáà yín fún gbogbo ohun tó bá jẹ mọ́ ibi pẹpẹ àti ti ẹ̀yin aṣọ títa, ẹ ó sì máa ṣiṣẹ́ ibi pẹpẹ àti nínú aṣọ tí a ta. Mo fún ọ ní iṣẹ́ àlùfáà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn. Ṣùgbọ́n àlejò tí ó bá súnmọ́ tòsí ibi ìyàsímímọ́ fún Ọlọ́run ni a ó pa.”
But only you and your sons may exercise the priesthood regarding everything connected with the altar and everything inside the curtain. You yourselves must fulfill those responsibilities. I am giving you the priesthood as a gift. Any foreigner who approaches must be put to death.”
8 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “Èmi fúnra mi ti fi ọ́ ṣọ́ ìdí gbogbo ẹbọ tí a bá mú wá fún gbogbo ọrẹ mímọ́ tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli bá fún mi, mo fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe.
Then Yahweh said to Aaron, “Look, I have given you the duty of handling the offerings raised up to me, and all the holy offerings that the people of Israel give to me. I have given these offerings to you and your sons as your ongoing share.
9 Ìwọ ni kí o ni ìpín ọrẹ mímọ́ jùlọ tí a mú kúrò ní ibi iná, nínú gbogbo ọrẹ tí wọ́n mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ mímọ́ jùlọ, yálà ẹbọ ohun jíjẹ, ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tàbí ẹbọ ẹ̀bi, ìpín wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ti ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ.
This will belong to you from the most holy things that is kept from the fire. From every offering of theirs—every grain offering, every sin offering, and every guilt offering—they are set apart to you and to your sons.
10 Ẹ jẹ ẹ́ ní ibi mímọ́ jùlọ, gbogbo ọkùnrin ni ó gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ́. Ó gbọdọ̀ kà á sí mímọ́.
These offerings are very holy; every male must eat it, for they are holy to you.
11 “Èyí tún jẹ́ tìrẹ pẹ̀lú: ohunkóhun tí a bá yà sọ́tọ̀ lára ẹ̀bùn ọrẹ fífì àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Mó fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín tí yóò máa ṣe déédé nínú ìdílé rẹ, tí o bá wà ní mímọ́ ni o le jẹ ẹ́.
These are the offerings that will belong to you, set apart out of all their gifts of the wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to you, your sons, and your daughters, as your portion forever. Everyone who is ceremonially clean in your family may eat any of these offerings.
12 “Mo fún ọ ní gbogbo òróró tí ó dára jùlọ àti gbogbo ọtí tuntun dáradára jùlọ àti ọkà tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa ní àkọ́so ohun ọ̀gbìn wọn tí wọ́n kórè.
All the best of the oil, all the best of the new wine and grain, the firstfruits that the people give to me—all these things I have given to you.
13 Gbogbo àkọ́so nǹkan ilẹ̀ wọ́n tí wọn mú wá fún Olúwa yóò jẹ́ tìrẹ. Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú ìdílé rẹ, àwọn tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ nínú ìdílé rẹ lè jẹ ẹ́.
The first ripe produce of all that is in their land, which they bring to me, will be yours. Everyone who is clean in your family may eat these things.
14 “Gbogbo nǹkan tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa ní Israẹli jẹ́ tìrẹ.
Every devoted thing in Israel will be yours.
15 Gbogbo àkọ́bí nínú gbogbo ohun alààyè tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa, ìbá à jẹ́ ti ènìyàn tàbí ti ẹranko jẹ́ tìrẹ ṣùgbọ́n o gbọdọ̀ ra gbogbo àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin padà àti àkọ́bí àwọn ẹranko aláìmọ́.
Everything that opens the womb, all the firstborn which the people offer to Yahweh, both of man and animal, will be yours. Nevertheless, the people must certainly buy back every firstborn son, and they must buy back the firstborn male of unclean animals.
16 Nígbà tí wọ́n bá pé oṣù kan, o gbọdọ̀ rà wọ́n padà ní iye owó ìràpadà tí í ṣe ṣékélì márùn-ún fàdákà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ṣékélì ibi mímọ́ tí ó wọn ìwọ̀n ogún gera.
Those that are to be bought back by the people must be bought back after becoming one month old. Then the people may buy them back, for the price of five shekels, by the standard weight of the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs.
17 “Ṣùgbọ́n o kò gbọdọ̀ ra àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ màlúù, àgùntàn tàbí ewúrẹ́; wọ́n jẹ́ mímọ́. Wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn sórí pẹpẹ kí o sì sun ọ̀rá rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ àfinásun, ẹbọ òórùn dídùn sí Olúwa.
But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat—you must not buy back these animals; they are set apart to me. You must sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to Yahweh.
18 Ẹran wọn gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ tìrẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí igẹ̀ ọrẹ ẹbọ fífì àti itan ọ̀tún ṣe jẹ́ tìrẹ.
Their meat will be yours. Like the raised breast and the right thigh, their meat will be yours.
19 Ohunkóhun tí a bá ti yà sọ́tọ̀ nínú ọrẹ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí wọ́n mú wá fún Olúwa ni mo fún ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ ọkùnrin àti ọmọ rẹ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe déédé. Ó jẹ́ májẹ̀mú iyọ̀ láéláé níwájú Olúwa fún ìwọ àti ọmọ rẹ.”
All the holy offerings that the people of Israel present to Yahweh, I have given to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a continual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt, a binding covenant forever, before Yahweh for both you and your descendants with you.”
20 Olúwa sọ fún Aaroni pé, “O kò ní ní ogún nínú ilẹ̀ wọn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò ní ní ìpín láàrín wọn; Èmi ni ìpín àti ogún rẹ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
Yahweh said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in the people's land, nor will you have any share of property among the people. I am your share and inheritance among the people of Israel.
21 “Mó ti fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní gbogbo ìdámẹ́wàá ní Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún fún iṣẹ́ tí wọ́n ṣe, nígbà tí wọ́n ń ṣiṣẹ́ níbi àgọ́ ìpàdé.
To the descendants of Levi, look, I have given all the tithes in Israel as their inheritance in return for the service that they provide in working at the tent of meeting.
22 Láti ìsinsin yìí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ àgọ́ ìpàdé, bí wọ́n bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, wọn yóò jẹ ìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, wọn á sì kú.
From now on the people of Israel must not come near the tent of meeting, or they will be responsible for this sin and die.
23 Àwọn ọmọ Lefi ní ó gbọdọ̀ ṣe iṣẹ́ tí ó wà nínú àgọ́ ìpàdé, wọn yóò sì jìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn bí wọ́n bá kúrò láti ṣe é. Èyí ni ìlànà láéláé fún àwọn ìran tí ó ń bọ̀. Wọn kò nígbà ogún kankan láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
The Levites must do the work connected to the tent of meeting. They will be responsible for any sin regarding it. This will be a permanent law throughout your people's generations. Among the people of Israel they must have no inheritance.
24 Kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, mo fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún wọn, ìdákan nínú ìdámẹ́wàá tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pèsè gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ sí Olúwa. Èyí ni mo wí nípa wọn. Wọn kò ní gba ogún kankan láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
For the tithes of the people of Israel, which they offer as a contribution to me—it is these that I have given to the Levites as their inheritance. That is why I said to them, 'They must have no inheritance among the people of Israel.'”
25 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
26 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi kí o sì wí fún wọn pé: ‘Nígbà tí ìdámẹ́wàá bá ń wọlé láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún rẹ. O gbọdọ̀ mú ìdámẹ́wàá lára rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ Olúwa.
“You must speak to the Levites and say to them, 'When you receive from the people of Israel the tenth that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tenth of the tithe.
27 A ó ka ọrẹ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkà irúgbìn láti ilẹ̀ ìpakà tàbí wáìnì láti fún wa.
Your contribution must be considered by you as if it were a tenth of the grain from the threshing floor or of the production from the winepress.
28 Báyìí ni ìwọ gan an náà yóò mú ọrẹ wa fún Olúwa láti ara ìdámẹ́wàá tí ìwọ gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Láti ara ìdámẹ́wàá ó gbọdọ̀ mú ọrẹ Olúwa fún Aaroni àlùfáà.
So you also must make a contribution to Yahweh from all the tithes that you receive from the people of Israel. From them you must give his contribution to Aaron the priest.
29 Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ mú wá gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín Olúwa èyí tí ó dára jùlọ àti tí ó jẹ́ mímọ́ jùlọ lára gbogbo nǹkan tí wọ́n mú wá fún ọ.’
Out of all the gifts you receive, you must make every contribution to Yahweh. You must do this from all the best and the holiest things that have been given to you.'
30 “Sọ fún àwọn ọmọ pé, ‘Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá mú ìpín tí ó dára jù wá, a ó kà á sí fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkórè láti ilẹ̀ ìpakà tàbí ìfúntí yín.
Therefore you must say to them, 'When you present the best of it, then it must be credited to the Levites as the product from the threshing floor and the winepress.
31 Ìwọ àti àwọn ìdílé rẹ̀ le jẹ èyí tí ó kù ní ibikíbi gbogbo. Nítorí pé ó jẹ́ ọrẹ fún iṣẹ́ rẹ níbi àgọ́ ìpàdé.
You may eat the rest of your gifts in any place, you and your families, because it is your pay in return for your work in the tent of meeting.
32 Nípa ṣíṣe ìgbékalẹ̀ ìpín tí ó dára jùlọ o kò ní jẹ̀bi lórí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ìwọ kò sì ní ba ọrẹ mímọ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jẹ́, ìwọ kì yóò sì kú.’”
You will not incur any guilt by eating and drinking it, if you have presented to Yahweh the best of what you have received. But you must not profane the holy offerings of the people of Israel, or you will die.'”
