Numbers 18
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And the LORD 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.
1LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Kom, ac wen nutum ac mwet Levi, fah kaiyuk ke kutena tafongla ma sikyak ke pacl kowos orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik; tusruktu kom ac wen nutum mukena pa ac kaiyuk ke kutena tafongla ma orek ke kunokon lun mwet tol.
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, thou and thy sons with thee being before the tent of the testimony.
2Use mwet in sou lom ke sruf lun Levi in wi kom orekma ac kasrekom pacl kom, ac wen nutum, orekma in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
3And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent; only they shall not come nigh unto the holy furniture and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye.
3Elos enenu in akfalye ma kunalos nu sum ac oayapa fosrngakin orekma kunalos ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal uh, tusruktu elos in tia kahl kutena ma akmutalyeyukla in Acn Mutal ku ke loang uh. Elos fin kahlya, komtal kewa fah anwuki.
4And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, whatsoever the service of the Tent may be; but a common man shall not draw nigh unto you.
4Elos in wi kom orekma ac akfalye ma kunalos nukewa in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tusruktu wangin mwet su tia fal in wi orekma ke ma inge fah wi kom orekma.
5And ye shall keep the charge of the holy things, and the charge of the altar, that there be wrath no more upon the children of Israel.
5Kom ac wen nutum mukena fah akfalye orekma ke Acn Mutal ac ke loang uh, tuh kasrkusrak luk fah tia sifilpa tayak lain mwet Israel.
6And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel; for you they are given as a gift unto the LORD, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
6Nga pa sulela mwet Levi wiowos liki inmasrlon mwet Israel tuh in oana sie mwe kite nu sum. Akmutalyeyukla elos nu sik, tuh elos in ku in oru orekma kunalos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
7And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood in everything that pertaineth to the altar, and to that within the veil; and ye shall serve; I give you the priesthood as a service of gift; and the common man that draweth nigh shall be put to death.'
7Tusruktu kom ac wen nutum mukena fah akfalye kunokon nukewa lun mwet tol su ma nu ke loang uh ac nu ke ma su oan in Acn Mutal Na Mutal. Ma inge ma kunowos, mweyen nga sot nu suwos wal lun mwet tol oana sie mwe kite. Kutena mwet su tia fal in wi orekma ke ma inge su kalukyang apkuran nu ke ma mutal uh ac fah anwuki.”
8And the LORD spoke unto Aaron: 'And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of My heave-offerings; even of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel unto thee have I given them for a consecrated portion, and to thy sons, as a due for ever.
8LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Esam lah nga sot nu sum mwe sang mutal nukewa ma ituku nu sik ac tia isisyak. Nga sot ma inge nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum tuh in ip lowos nwe tok.
9This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every guilt-offering of theirs, which they may render unto Me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
9Pa inge ip lom ke mwe sang su arulana mutal su tia firriyuk fin loang uh: mwe kisa wheat, mwe kisa ke ma koluk, ac mwe kisa in akfalye ma koluk lukma. Ma nukewa ma ituku nu sik tuh in sie kisa mutal, ma lom ac lun wen nutum.
10In a most holy place shalt thou eat thereof; every male may eat thereof; it shall be holy unto thee.
10Kowos fah kang ma inge in sie acn mutal, ac mukul mukena fah ku in mongo kac. Kowos in eis mu ma inge ma na mutal.
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 due for ever; every one that is clean in thy house may eat thereof.
11“Sayen ma inge, kutena mwe sang mutal su mwet Israel elos use nu sik ac fah ma lom. Nga sot ma inge nu sum, ac nu sin wen ac acn nutum tuh in ma lowos nwe tok. Mwet nukewa in sou lom su aknasnasyeyukla, elos ku in mongo kac.
12All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the corn, the first part of them which they give unto the LORD, to thee have I given them.
12“Nga sot nu sum ma su wo emeet ke fahko se meet ma mwet Israel elos use nu sik ke kais sie yac: oil in olive, wain, ac wheat.
13The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house may eat thereof.
13Ma inge nukewa ma lom. Mwet nukewa in sou lom su aknasnasyeyukla ku in mongo kac.
14Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
14“Ma nukewa in Israel ma kisakinyukme na pwaye nu sik ma lom.
15Every thing that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto the LORD, both of man and beast, shall be thine; howbeit the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
15“Wounse ke tulik ac kosro nukewa ma mwet Israel ase nu sik, ma nutum. Tusruktu kom fah eis molin sifil molela ke tulik wounse nukewa, ac oayapa eis molin sifil molela ke wounse ke kosro nukewa ma tia nasnas.
16And their redemption-money — from a month old shalt thou redeem them — shall be, according to thy valuation, five shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary — the same is twenty gerahs.
16Tulik uh enenu in sifil moliyukla ke elos sun malem sie matwa, ke lupan moul se ma oasr ke ipin silver limekosr, fal nu ke lupa oakwuki tari.
17But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt dash their blood against the altar, and shalt make their fat smoke for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
17Tusruktu wounsien cow, sheep, ac nani uh ac fah tia sifil moliyukla; ma inge ma na luk, ma in kisakinyuk. Fwela loang uh ke srahn ma inge ac esukak kiris kac tuh in sie mwe kisa mongo, sie foul su akinsewowoyeyu.
18And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.
18Ikwa ke ma inge ma nom, oapana iwa ac nia layen layot ke mwe kisa sriyukla.
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, as a due for ever; it is an everlasting covenant of salt before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.'
19“Mwe sang mutal nukewa su mwet Israel use nu sik, nga sot nu sum ac nu sin wen ac acn nutum ke pacl nukewa fahsru uh. Sie wuleang na kawil pa nga orala inge nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum.”
20And the LORD 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.
20LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Ac fah wangin acn kom fah usrui, oayapa ac fah wangin ip ke acn lun Israel fah itukot lom. Nga, LEUM GOD , ac fah mwe usru lom ac ip lom.”
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.
21LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga sang nu sin mwet Levi sie tafu singoul nukewa ma mwet Israel use nu sik. Ma inge ma in moli orekma lalos ke elos karinganang Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik.
22And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
22Mwet Israel saya fah tia sifilpa kalukyang nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, mweyen elos fin oru, ma inge ac sang mwatalos in misa.
23But the Levites alone 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.
23Inge fahla, mwet Levi mukena ac fah karingin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac oru kunokon nukewa nu kac. Sie oakwuk kawil pa inge, su ac ma pac nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos. Ac fah wangin acn itukyang nu sin mwet Levi in Israel,
24For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they set apart as a gift unto the LORD, 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.'
24mweyen nga sang nu selos sie tafu ngoul ke mwe sang sriyukla ma mwet Israel elos use nu sik. Ma inge nga sang tuh in ma lun mwet Levi. Pa ingan sripa se oru nga fahk nu sin mwet Levi mu ac fah wangin acn itukyang nu selos in Israel.”
25And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
25LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses
26'Moreover 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 set apart of it a gift for the LORD, even a tithe of the tithe.
26in fahk nu sin mwet Levi: “Ke kowos eis sin mwet Israel tafu ngoul lalos ma LEUM GOD El asot nu suwos tuh in ma lowos, kowos fah sang sie tafu singoul kac tuh in sie mwe sang sriyukla nu sin LEUM GOD .
27And the gift which ye set apart shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the wine-press.
27Mwe sang sriyukla se inge ac fah oaoala mu oana mwe kisa ma mwet ima uh oru ke wheat sasu ac wain sasu.
28Thus ye also shall set apart a gift unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give the gift which is set apart unto the LORD to Aaron the priest.
28In ouiya se inge kowos wi pac sang mwe sang sriyukla se lun LEUM GOD inge liki sie tafu singoul nukewa su kowos eis sin mwet Israel. Kowos fah sang mwe sang sriyukla inge lun LEUM GOD nu sel Aaron mwet tol.
29Out of all that is given you ye shall set apart all of that which is due unto the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
29Sang ma wo oemeet ke ma kowos eis uh.
30Therefore thou shalt say unto them: When ye set apart the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press.
30Tukun kowos use ip ma wo oemeet kac, kowos ku in orekmakin ma lula an, oana ke mwet ima uh ac sruokya ma lula tukun el oru mwe sang lal uh.
31And ye may eat it in every place, ye and your households; for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
31Oana sie acn ma kowos, ac sou lowos uh, ku in kang ma lula inge we, mweyen ma inge molin orekma lowos ke kulansap lowos in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal.
32And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, seeing that ye have set apart from it the best thereof; and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.'
32Kowos fin akfalye in sang ma wo emeet kac uh nu sin LEUM GOD , na ac fah wangin mwatuwos kowos fin kang ma lula an. Tusruktu taranna kowos in tia akkupatolye mwe sang mutal lun mwet Israel ke kowos kang kutena sin mwe sang inge meet liki itukyang ip wowo kac uh. Kowos fin oru, kowos ac fah anwuki.”
