Kuchokera pa mphatso zonse zimene amabweretsa kwa Ine ngati zopatulika kwambiri, nsembe zachakudya kapena nsembe zopepesera machimo, gawo limenelo ndi lako ndi ana ako aamuna. 10Muzidya zimenezo ngati zinthu zopatulika kwambiri; mwamuna aliyense adyeko. Uzitenge kukhala zopatulika.
11“Izinso ndi zako: chilichonse chopatulidwa kuchokera ku mphatso zoweyula za Aisraeli ndapereka kwa iwe ndi ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi ngati gawo lako la nthawi zonse. Aliyense wa mʼnyumba mwako amene ali woyeretsedwa monga mwa mwambo angathe kudyako.
12“Ndikukupatsani mafuta onse abwino kwambiri a olivi ndi vinyo yense watsopano wabwino kwambiri ndi tirigu yense zomwe Aisraeli amapereka kwa Yehova ngati zipatso zoyamba pa zokolola zawo. 13Zipatso zonse zoyamba kucha za mʼdziko lawo zomwe amapereka kwa Yehova zidzakhala zako. Aliyense mʼnyumba mwako amene ali woyeretsedwa angathe kudyako.
14“Chilichonse mu Israeli chomwe chapatulidwira Yehova ndi chako. 15Chilichonse choyamba kubadwa kwa munthu kaya nyama, chomwe chaperekedwa kwa Yehova ndi chako. Koma uyenera kuwombola mwana aliyense wamwamuna ndi mwana aliyense woyamba wa nyama zodetsedwa. 16Pamene zili ndi mwezi umodzi wa kubadwa, uziwombole pa mtengo wowombolera wa ndalama zisanu zasiliva, monga mwa ndalama za ku malo wopatulika.
17“Koma usawombole ana oyamba kubadwa a ngʼombe, nkhosa kapena mbuzi. Iwo ndi opatulika. Uwaze magazi a nyamazi pa guwa lansembe ndi kutentha mafuta ake ngati nsembe yotentha ndi moto kuti likhale fungo lokoma kwa Yehova. 18Nyama yake ikhale yanu monga momwe chimakhalira chidale cha nsembe yoweyula ndi ntchafu za miyendo ya kumanja, zonsezi ndi zako. 19Zonse zimene mwazichotsa ku zopereka zoyera zomwe Aisraeli anapereka kwa Yehova ndazipereka kwa iwe ndi ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi ngati gawo lanu nthawi zonse. Ili ndi pangano losatha la mchere pamaso pa Yehova kwa iwe ndi ana ako.”
20Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Aaroni, “Iweyo sudzakhala ndi cholowa mʼdziko lawo, ndiponso sudzalandira gawo lililonse pakati pawo. Ine ndine gawo lako ndi cholowa chako pakati pa Aisraeli.
21“Taonani, ndawapatsa Alevi chakhumi chonse mu Israeli ngati cholowa chawo chifukwa cha ntchito ya ku tenti ya msonkhano. 22Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo Aisraeli asamapite pafupi ndi tenti ya msonkhano. Ngati atero adzasenza zotsatira za tchimo lawo ndipo adzafa. 23Alevi ndi amene azidzagwira ntchito ya ku tenti ya msonkhano ndipo adzalangidwa chilichonse chikalakwika. Ili ndi lamulo losatha kwa mibado yawo yonse. Iwowo sadzalandira cholowa pakati pa Aisraeli. 24Mʼmalo mwake, ndikuwapatsa Aleviwo chakhumi ngati cholowa chawo chimene Aisraeli amapereka kwa Yehova. Nʼchifukwa chake zokhudza iwo ndinati: ‘Sadzakhala ndi cholowa pakati pa Aisraeli.’ ”
25Yehova anati kwa Mose, 26“Yankhula ndi Alevi ndi kunena nawo kuti, ‘Pamene mulandira chakhumi kuchoka kwa Aisraeli chimene ndimakupatsani ngati cholowa chanu, muyenera kupereka chakhumi cha choperekacho kwa Yehova. 27Chopereka chanucho chidzawerengedwa kwa inu ngati tirigu wochokera kopunthira kapena ngati mphesa zopsinya kuchokera kopsinyira mphesa. 28Mwa njira imeneyi inunso muzipereka chopereka kwa Yehova kuchokera ku chakhumi chanu chilichonse chimene mumalandira kuchokera kwa Aisraeli. Kuchokera ku chakhumicho muziperekako gawo la Yehova kwa Aaroni, wansembe. 29Muyenera kupereka monga gawo la Yehova magawo abwino kwambiri ndi opatulika a chilichonse chimene chapatsidwa kwa inu.’
30“Nena kwa Alevi: ‘Pamene mupereka gawo labwino lopambana zonse, gawo limenelo lidzawerengedwa kwa inu ngati lochokera popunthira tirigu kapenanso kopsinyira mphesa. 31Inu ndi a pa banja panu mungathe kudyera zimenezi paliponse chifukwa ndi malipiro a ntchito yanu ya ku tenti ya msonkhano. 32Popereka gawo labwino kwambirilo simudzapezeka olakwa. Mukatero simudzadetsa zopereka zoyera za Aisraeli, ndipo simudzafa.’ ”
1And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. 2And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness. 3And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die. 4And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you. 5And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. 6And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
8¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever. 9This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat 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. 10In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee. 11And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with 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, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it. 12All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.18.12 best: Heb. fat 13And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it. 14Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. 15Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. 16And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. 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 savour unto the LORD. 18And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. 19All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
20¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. 21And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 22Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.18.22 and die: Heb. to die 23But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance. 24But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
25¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 26Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe. 27And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress. 28Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD’s heave offering to Aaron the priest. 29Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.18.29 best: Heb. fat 30Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.18.30 best: Heb. fat 31And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation. 32And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
