Nomipā 18

1So the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house with you shall bear iniquity connected with the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear iniquity connected with your priesthood.

1PEA naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻElone, “Ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha mo e fale ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai te mou fua ʻae hia ʻoe faletapu: pea ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou fua ʻae hia ʻa hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

2And with you bring your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and minister to you while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony.

2Pea te mou ʻomi fakataha foki mo ko e ho kāinga ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Livai, ko e faʻahinga ʻo hoʻo tamai, koeʻuhi te mou feangai mo koe, ʻo ngāue kiate koe: ka ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou fakataha ʻo ngāue ʻi he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni.

3They shall keep guard over you and over the whole tent, but shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary or to the altar lest they, and you, die.

3Pea tenau tokanga ki hoʻo ngāue, mo e tauhi kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki: kaeʻoua tenau haʻu ke ofi ki he ngaahi ipu ʻoe faletapu mo e feilaulauʻanga, telia naʻa nau mate ai, mo kimoutolu foki.

4They shall join you and keep guard over the tent of meeting for all the service of the tent, and no outsider shall come near you.

4Pea tenau fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate koe, ʻo tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki: pea ʻe ʻikai haʻu ha muli ke ofi kiate kimoutolu.

5And you shall keep guard over the sanctuary and over the altar, that there may never again be wrath on the people of Israel.

5Pea te mou tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe faletapu, mo e tauhi ʻoe feilaulauʻanga: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe hoko ʻae houhau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

6And behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the people of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to the LORD, to do the service of the tent of meeting.

6Pea ko au, vakai, kuo u ʻomi homou kāinga ʻoe kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ʻoku foaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki kiate kimoutolu maʻa Sihova, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

7And you and your sons with you shall guard your priesthood for all that concerns the altar and that is within the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift, and any outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”

7Pea ko ia, ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou tokanga ki hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, mo e loto puipui; pea te mou tauhi: kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki: pea ko e muli ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”

8Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I have given you charge of the contributions made to me, all the consecrated things of the people of Israel. I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons as a perpetual due.

8Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u foaki foki kiate ko e ʻae tauhi ʻo ʻeku feilaulau hiki hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; kuo u foaki ia kiate ko e koeʻuhi ko e fakanofo, pea ki ho ngaahi foha, ʻi he talatuku ʻo lauikuonga.

9This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, every grain offering of theirs and every sin offering of theirs and every guilt offering of theirs, which they render to me, shall be most holy to you and to your sons.

9Ko hoʻo meʻa eni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa toputapu, kuo hao ʻi he afi: ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau meʻakai kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē maʻae angahala, mo ʻenau feilaulau fakalelei kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau ʻange kiate au, ʻe mātuʻaki tapu ia maʻau, mo ho ngaahi foha.

10In a most holy place shall you eat it. Every male may eat it; it is holy to you.

10Te ke kai ia ʻi he potu tapu ʻaupito, ʻe kai ia ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē: ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe.

11This also is yours: the contribution of their gift, all the wave offerings of the people of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it.

11Pea ko e meʻa eni ʻaʻau; ko e feilaulau hiki hake ʻoku nau foaki, fakataha mo e ngaahi feilaulau lialiaki kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: kuo u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine fakataha mo koe, ʻi he fekau ʻo lauikuonga: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻi ho fale te ne kai mei ai.

12All the best of the oil and all the best of the wine and of the grain, the firstfruits of what they give to the LORD, I give to you.

12Ko e lelei kotoa pē ʻoe lolo, mo e lelei kotoa pē ʻoe uaine, pea mo e uite, ko hono ʻuluaki fua ʻaia tenau ʻatu kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia kiate koe.

13The first ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to the LORD, shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it.

13Pea mo ia ʻoku fuofua moho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia tenau ʻomi kia Sihova, ʻe ʻaʻau ia; ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻi ho fale te ne kai mei ai.

14Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours.

14Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakatapu ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoku ʻaʻau ia.

15Everything that opens the womb of all flesh, whether man or beast, which they offer to the LORD, shall be yours. Nevertheless, the firstborn of man you shall redeem, and the firstborn of unclean animals you shall redeem.

15‌ʻAe meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne toʻo ʻae mānava ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻomi kia Sihova, ʻi he kau tangata, pe ʻi he fanga manu, ʻe ʻaʻau ia: ka ko e moʻoni te ke huhuʻi ʻae ʻuluaki tama ʻi he tangata, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fanga manu taʻemaʻa te ke huhuʻi ia.

16And their redemption price (at a month old you shall redeem them) you shall fix at five shekels in silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

16Pea ko ia ʻoku totonu ke huhuʻi mei he taha māhina, te ke huhuʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo lau, ʻaki ʻae paʻanga ko e sikeli ʻe nima, ʻo hangē ko e sikeli ʻoe faletapu, ʻaia ko e kela ʻe uofulu.

17But the firstborn of a cow, or the firstborn of a sheep, or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall burn their fat as a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

17Ka ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae fanga pulu, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae sipi, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae kosi, ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia: pea te ke luluku ʻaki honau toto ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea te ke tutu honau ngako ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.

18But their flesh shall be yours, as the breast that is waved and as the right thigh are yours.

18Pea ko honau kakano ʻe ʻaʻau ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaʻau ʻae fatafata lialiaki, pea mo e alanga nima toʻomataʻu.

19All the holy contributions that the people of Israel present to the LORD I give to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. It is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD for you and for your offspring with you.”

19Ko e ngaahi feilaulau hiki hake ʻoe ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo ʻange ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine fakataha mo koe, ʻi he fekau ʻo lauikuonga: ko e fuakava ia kiate ko e ʻoe māsima ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, fakataha mo ho hako ʻo lauikuonga.”

20And the LORD 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 people of Israel.

20Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te ke maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi honau fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ha tufakanga ʻiate kinautolu: ka ko au ko ho ʻinasi mo ho tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

21“To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting,

21Pea vakai, kuo u foaki ki he fānau ʻa Livai ʻa hono vahe hongofulu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ko e ngāue ʻoku nau tauhi, ʻio ʻae tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

22so that the people of Israel do not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die.

22Pea ʻe ʻikai toe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo ofi ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, telia naʻa nau fua ʻae angahala, pea nau mate.

23But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

23Ka ko e kau Livai te nau fai ʻae tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea te nau fua ʻenau hia: ko e fekau ia ki homou ngaahi toʻutangata ʻo lauikuonga, ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai tenau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

24For the tithe of the people of Israel, which they present as a contribution to the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance. Therefore I have said of them that they shall have no inheritance among the people of Israel.”

24Ka ko hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻatu ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia ki he kau Livai kenau maʻu ia: pea ko eni, ne u pehē ai kiate kinautolu, ʻE ʻikai tenau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”

25And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

25Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

26“Moreover, you shall speak and say to the Levites, ‘When you take from the people of Israel the tithe that I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall present a contribution from it to the LORD, a tithe of the tithe.

26Ke ke lea ki he kau Livai, ʻo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOka mou ka maʻu hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ne u foaki meiate kinautolu maʻamoutolu, ko homou tofiʻa, te mou toki ʻohake hono feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, ʻio, ko hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻi homou vahe hongofulu.

27And your contribution shall be counted to you as though it were the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.

27Pea ko hoʻomou feilaulau hiki hake ʻe lau ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e koane ʻoe potu hahaʻanga, pea mo e pito ʻoe tataʻoʻanga uaine.

28So you shall also present a contribution to the LORD from all your tithes, which you receive from the people of Israel. And from it you shall give the LORD’s contribution to Aaron the priest.

28‌ʻE pehē hoʻomou ʻatu ʻae feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova ʻi homou vahe hongofulu kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku mou maʻu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea te mou foaki hono feilaulau hiki hake ʻo Sihova kia ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki.

29Out of all the gifts to you, you shall present every contribution due to the LORD; from each its best part is to be dedicated.’

29Ko e meʻa foaki kotoa pē ʻoku mou maʻu te mou ʻange mei ai ʻae feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, mei hono lelei, ʻio, mei hono meʻa ʻoku tapu.

30Therefore you shall say to them, ‘When you have offered from it the best of it, then the rest shall be counted to the Levites as produce of the threshing floor, and as produce of the winepress.

30Pea ko eni, te ke lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOka mou ka hiki hono lelei mei ai, ʻe toki lau ai ia ki he Livai ʻo hangē ko hono tupu ʻoe hahaʻanga koane, pea mo e tupu ʻoe tataʻoʻanga uaine.

31And you may eat it in any place, you and your households, for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.

31Pea te mou kai ia ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ʻekimoutolu mo homou kau nofoʻanga: he ko hono totongi ia ʻo hoʻomou tauhi ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

32And you shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have contributed the best of it. But you shall not profane the holy things of the people of Israel, lest you die.’”

32Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fua ʻae angahala koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻoka mou ka hiki hono lelei mei ai: pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fakaʻuli ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, telia naʻa mou mate.”
