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.
1 Kala Rabbi ne Haruna se: «Nin nda ni izey da ni kaayo dumey ni banda, araŋ no ga nangu hanna taalo jare. Koyne, nin da ni izey, araŋ g'araŋ alfagatara taalo jare.
1And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
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.
2 Ni nya-ka-fo-siney mo, Lawi kunda ra, ni kaayey kunda nooya, ni ma kand'ey ni banda k'i lambandi ni gaa, zama i ma saajaw ni se. Amma seeda hukumo jine wo, kala nin da ni izey hinne no ga goy noodin.
2And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony.
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.
3 Ngey mo ga ni lordey haggoy, i ga hukumo batu mo. Kala day, i ma si maan nangu hanna jinayey gaa wala sargay feema gaa, zama i ma si bu se, ngey wala araŋ mo.
3And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye.
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.
4 I ga dabu ni gaa no zama i ma kubayyaŋ hukumo haggoy, da hukumo saajaw goy kulu mo. Yaw fo ma si maan araŋ gaa.
4And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
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.
5 Araŋ no ga nangu hanna nda sargay feema mo haggoy, hala dukuri ma si ye ka kaa Israyla izey gaa.
5And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath no more upon the children of Israel.
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.
6 Ay mo, ay na araŋ nya-ka-fo-sina Lawitey suuban Israyla izey game ra k'i no araŋ se, nooyante Rabbi se, zama i ma kubayyaŋ hukumo goyo te.
6And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given unto Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
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.”
7 Ni mo, nin nda ni izey, araŋ ma haggoy d'araŋ alfagatara za sargay feema wane ka koy kosaray taafa banda wane kulu. Araŋ no g'a goyo te. Ay n'araŋ no alfagatara; nooyaŋ no. Yaw kaŋ maan, i m'a wi.»
7And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
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.
8 Rabbi salaŋ Haruna se koyne ka ne: «Guna, ay na ni no ay sargayey kaŋ i ga sambu beene yaŋ din goy, Israyla izey hari hanney kulu wane. Ni se no ay n'i no, ji sooguyaŋo sabbay se, nin da ni izey se. Araŋ baa no farilla kaŋ ga duumi boŋ.
8And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion for ever.
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.
9 Haŋ kaŋ ga ciya ni wane hari hanney ra, kaŋ yaŋ i ga kaa danjo ra neeya: borey nooyaŋey kulu, da ŋwaari sargay no, wala i zunubi se sargay, wala i taali banayaŋ sargay kulu, kaŋ yaŋ i g'i no ay se. Woodin yaŋ ga ciya nin da ni izey waneyaŋ, hari hanno yaŋ no gumo.
9This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
10You shall eat of it like the most holy things. Every male shall eat of it. It shall be holy to you.
10 Sanda, hari kaŋ ga hanan gumo nooya, kaŋ ni ga ŋwa. Araŋ alboro kulu m'a ŋwa k'a ciya hari hanno.
10As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof; every male shall eat thereof: it shall be holy unto thee.
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.
11 Sargay kaŋ i ga sambu beene kaŋ i ga kaa Israyla izey feeniyaŋ sargayey gaa mo ga ciya ni wane. Ay na ni no nd'ey, nin nda ni ize arey da ni ize wayey, araŋ baa no farilla kaŋ ga duumi boŋ. Ni windi boro kulu kaŋ ga hanan ga ŋwa i gaa.
11And this is thine: the heave-offering of their gift, even all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.
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.
12 Haŋ kaŋ ci ihanno ka bisa i kulu jiyey ra, wala reyzin albarka ra, wala ntaaso ra, i farey albarka boŋ-jina kaŋ yaŋ i ga salle Rabbi se, ngey mo ay n'i no ni se.
12All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give unto Jehovah, to thee have I given them.
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.
13 Albarka kulu kaŋ ga jin ka nin i laabo ra, kaŋ i ga kande Rabbi do ga ciya ni wane. Ni windo ra boro kulu kaŋ ga hanan g'a ŋwa.
13The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.
14“Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
14 Hay kulu mo kaŋ i na sarti sambu ka no Rabbi se Israyla ra, woodin ni wane no.
14Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine.
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.
15 Hay kulu kaŋ ga hay-tu fiti, fundi kulu wane, da boro no wala alman no, kaŋ i ga kand'a Rabbi se, a ga ciya ni wane. Kala day, boro hay-jine, nga wo daahir ni g'a fansa. Alman kaŋ si hanan hay-jine mo, ni g'a fansa.
15Everything that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine: nevertheless the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
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).
16 Wo kaŋ yaŋ i ga fansa, za handu fo ize ni g'a fansa, ni lasaabo boŋ. A nooro ga ti sekel* gu, nangu hanna sekelo boŋ, kaŋ gonda gera waranka.
16And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).
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.
17 Amma haw hay-jine, wala feeji hay-jine, wala hincin hay-jine, ni ma si i fansa. I ga hanan no. Ni m'i kuro say-say sargay feema boŋ, ka maano daŋ danji ra k'a salle, kaŋ hawo ga kaan Rabbi se.
17But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
18Their flesh shall be yours, as the wave offering breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
18 I baso mo ni wane no, danga mate kaŋ feeniyaŋ ganda da kambe ŋwaari tanja ni wane yaŋ no.
18And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.
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.”
19 Hari hanno kulu kaŋ i ga sambu beene, kaŋ yaŋ Israyla izey g'i salle Rabbi se, ay na ni no nd'ey, nin nda ni ize arey da ni ize wayey. Araŋ wane no sappe kaŋ ga duumi boŋ. Sanda ciiri sappa kaŋ si tun nooya hala abada Rabbi jine, ni se da ni dumey se ni banda.»
19All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto Jehovah, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before Jehovah unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
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.
20 Rabbi ne Haruna se: «Ni sinda tubu kulu i laabo ra, ni si du baa kulu mo i game ra. Ay no ga ti ni baa da ni tubo mo Israyla izey game ra.
20And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
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.
21 Lawi izey se mo, ay n'i no Israyla zakka kulu a ma te i tubu, a ma ciya i saajaw teeyaŋo se banandi, kaŋ ga ti kubayyaŋ hukumo saajawo teeyaŋ.
21And unto 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.
22Henceforth the children of Israel shall not come near the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
22 Israyla izey ma si ye ka maan kubayyaŋ hukumo gaa koyne, zama i ma si zunubi alhakku sambu ka bu.
22And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
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.
23 Amma Lawitey no ga kubayyaŋ hukumo goyo te, k'i taaley jare. Farilla sanni no araŋ se zamana ka koy zamana: i sinda tubu fo Israyla izey game ra.
23But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
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.’”
24 Zama Israyla izey zakkey, kaŋ yaŋ i ga sambu beene ka salle Rabbi se, woodin no ay na Lawitey no, a ma ciya i se tubu. Woodin sabbay se no ay ne i se i si du tubu kulu Israyla izey game ra.»
24For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
25Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
25 Rabbi salaŋ Musa se koyne ka ne:
25And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
26 «Ma salaŋ Lawitey se ka ne: D'araŋ ga zakka kaŋ ay na araŋ no nd'a din ta Israyla izey gaa, araŋ m'a ta i gaa danga araŋ tubu no. Kal araŋ mo ma zakka fo kaa i zakkey ra. Araŋ m'a sambu beene k'a salle Rabbi se.
26Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave-offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.
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.
27 Haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga sambu beene ka salle, i g'a lasaabu danga day karayaŋ do masangu cine, wala reyzin taamu yaŋ do albarka.
27And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
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.
28 Yaadin no araŋ mo ma sambu beene yaŋ salle Rabbi se. Zakka kulu kaŋ araŋ ga ta Israyla izey gaa, araŋ ma kaa i ra ka salle Rabbi se, k'a no Alfa Haruna se.
28Thus ye also shall offer a heave-offering unto Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give Jehovah's heave-offering to Aaron the priest.
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.’
29 Nooyaŋey kulu kaŋ araŋ ga du, araŋ ma kaa i ra ka te sargay kaŋ i ga sambu beene Rabbi se. Wa fay wo kaŋ boori ka bisa i kulu. Nga no araŋ ga kaa waani.
29Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave-offering of Jehovah, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
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.
30 Ma ne i se mo: D'araŋ na ihanna kaa waani ka sambu beene, woodin banda no i g'a lasaabu Lawitey se danga karayaŋ do albarka lasaabo, danga mo reyzin taamuyaŋ do albarka.
30Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.
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.
31 Araŋ g'a ŋwa nangu kulu, araŋ d'araŋ windi borey, zama araŋ alhakko no araŋ saajaw goyo se kubayyaŋ hukumo ra.
31And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
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.’”
32 Taali kulu si araŋ gaa a sabbay se d'araŋ na ihanno kaa a gaa k'a salle. Amma, araŋ ma si Israyla izey hari hanney ziibandi, zama araŋ ma si bu se.»
32And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.
