¹Yahweh 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.

¹In GOSPOD reče Aronu: Ti in sinovi tvoji in očeta tvojega hiša s teboj boste nosili pregrehe zoper svetišče; ti pa in sinovi tvoji boste nosili pregrehe duhovstva svojega.

²Your 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.

²Tudi brate svoje, rod Levijev, rod očeta svojega, postavi bliže Bogu pri sebi, da se te oklepajo in ti strežejo; ali ti in sinovi tvoji s teboj bodite pred šatorom pričevanja.

³They 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.

³In naj strežejo v tvoji straži in v straži vsega šatora; samo naj se ne bližajo posodam svetišča in oltarju, da ne umrjo, ne oni, ne vi.

⁴They 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.

⁴Naj bodo torej združeni s teboj in naj strežejo v straži shodnega šatora, za vsako službo pri šatoru; nepoklicanec pa naj se vanj ne približa.

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.

⁵Tako strezite v straži pri svetišču in oltarju, da ne pride več jeza nad sinove Izraelove.

⁶I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given to Yahweh, to do the service of the Tent of Meeting.

⁶Saj jaz sem, glejte, vzel levite, brate vaše, izmed sinov Izraelovih: vam so v dar, GOSPODU dani v last, da opravljajo službo pri shodnem šatoru.

⁷You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within 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.”

⁷Ti pa in sinovi tvoji pazite na duhovsko službo svojo pri vsakterem opravilu ob oltarju in notri za pregrinjalom; tako torej služite. Kot službo vam dajem duhovništvo v darilo. Nepoklicanec pa, ki se približa, mora umreti.

⁸Yahweh spoke to Aaron, “I, behold, 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.

⁸In GOSPOD je govoril Aronu: Glej, jaz sem ti dal oskrbovati daritve povzdignjenja meni; od vseh svetih reči Izraelovih sem jih dal kot delež maziljenja tebi in sinovom tvojim po večni postavi.

⁹This 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.

⁹To bodi tvoje od presvetih reči, kar ne pride na ogenj: vsako njih darilo pri vseh njih jedilnih daritvah in vseh daritvah za greh in za krivdo, ki mi jih prinašajo; to bodi presveto tebi in sinovom tvojim.

¹⁰You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.

¹⁰Kot presveto uživaj to: vsak moški naj jé od tega, ker sveto bode tebi.

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.

¹¹In to bodi tvoje kot podvig njih darila: vse daritve majanja sinov Izraelovih sem dal tebi in sinovom in hčeram tvojim s teboj kot vekomaj ti odmenjeno: vsak, kdor je čist v hiši tvoji, sme jesti od tega.

¹²“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 Yahweh, to you have I given them.

¹²Vse najboljše od olja in vse najboljše od mošta in žita, njih prvine, ki jih dajejo GOSPODU, sem dal tebi.

¹³The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Yahweh, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.

¹³Prvine od vsega, kar je v njih deželi, kar prinašajo GOSPODU, naj bodo tvoje; vsak čisti v hiši tvoji jih sme jesti.

¹⁴“Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.

¹⁴Vse, kar se z zaroto posveti Gospodu v Izraelu, bodi tvoje.

¹⁵Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Yahweh, 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.

¹⁵Karkoli pride prvo iz materinega telesa, od vsakterega mesa, kar prinašajo GOSPODU, bodisi človečje ali živalsko, bodi tvoje; toda za prvorojeno od človeka prejmi odkupnino, tudi za prvostorjeno od nečiste živali prejmi odkupnino.

¹⁶You 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 (the same is twenty gerahs).

¹⁶Kar jih je odkupiti, ukaži odkupiti, ko so mesec dni stari, po cenitvi tvoji za pet seklov srebra, po seklu svetišča, ki ima dvajset ger.

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 Yahweh.

¹⁷Ali prvostorjenega od goveda ali od ovce ali od koze ne daj odkupiti, sveto je namreč: njih kri razškropi po oltarju in njih tolstino zažgi kot ognjeno daritev v prijeten duh GOSPODU.

¹⁸Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.

¹⁸Njih meso pa bodi tvoje, kakor so tvoje prsi majanja in desno stegno.

¹⁹All the wave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Yahweh, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to your seed with you.”

¹⁹Vse svete dari povzdignjenja, ki jih sinovi Izraelovi darujejo GOSPODU, sem dal tebi in sinovom in hčeram tvojim s teboj po večni postavi. To je večna solna zaveza pred GOSPODOM zate in za seme tvoje s teboj.

²⁰Yahweh 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.

²⁰Še reče GOSPOD Aronu: V njih deželi ne boš imel dediščine, tudi deleža ne bo zate med njimi; jaz sem tvoj delež in dediščina tvoja med sinovi Izraelovimi.

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.

²¹Ali glej, sinovom Levijevim sem dal vse desetine v Izraelu v dediščino za njih službo, s katero mi strežejo, za službo pri shodnem šatoru.

²²Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.

²²Zato naj sinovi Izraelovi poslej ne pristopajo k shodnemu šatoru, da si ne nalože greha ter ne umrjo.

²³But 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.

²³A leviti naj skrbe za službo pri shodnem šatoru, in nosili bodo onih pregrehe: večna to bodi postava za prihodnje rodove vaše. Med sinovi Izraelovimi pa naj ne imajo dediščine,

²⁴For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a wave offering to Yahweh, 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.’”

²⁴kajti desetino sinov Izraelovih, ki jo prineso GOSPODU kot dar povzdignjenja, sem dal levitom v dediščino; zatorej sem jim rekel: Med sinovi Izraelovimi vam ne bodi nobene dediščine.

²⁵Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁵In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

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 Yahweh, a tithe of the tithe.

²⁶Govóri sinovom Levijevim in jim reci: Ko boste prejemali od sinov Izraelovih desetino, ki sem vam jo dal v vašo dediščino, prinašajte od nje dar povzdignjenja GOSPODU: desetino od desetine.

²⁷Your wave offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.

²⁷In vaš dar povzdignjenja se vam bo štel, kakor da bi dali žita z gumna in obilnosti iz tlačilnice.

²⁸Thus you also shall offer a wave offering to Yahweh of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and of it you shall give Yahweh’s wave offering to Aaron the priest.

²⁸Tako prinašajte tudi vi GOSPODU dar povzdignjenja od vseh desetin svojih, ki jih prejemate od sinov Izraelovih; od njih torej dajajte GOSPODOV dar povzdignjenja Aronu duhovniku.

²⁹Out of all your gifts you shall offer every wave offering of Yahweh, of all its best, even the holy part of it out of it.’

²⁹Od vsega, kar prejmete v dar, darujte GOSPODU vselešnji dar povzdignjenja, od vsega, kar je najboljšega v tem in kar je posvečenega.

³⁰“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.

³⁰Zato jim reci: Ko prinesete najboljše od tistega, se bo štelo levitom kakor pridelek gumna in pridelek tlačilnice.

³¹You 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.

³¹In jesti smete to na vsakterem mestu, vi in družine vaše, zakaj plačilo vaše je za službo vašo pri shodnem šatoru.Tako si ne naložite greha, ko prinesete najboljše od tega v dar povzdignjenja; in svetih reči sinov Izraelovih ne smete onesvetiti, da ne umrjete.

³²You 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.’”

³²Tako si ne naložite greha, ko prinesete najboljše od tega v dar povzdignjenja; in svetih reči sinov Izraelovih ne smete onesvetiti, da ne umrjete.
