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.
1So the LORD said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house must bear the iniquity involving the sanctuary. And you and your sons alone must bear the iniquity involving your priesthood.
2Pea te mou ʻomi fakataha foki mo koe 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.
2But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and assist you and your sons before the Tent of the Testimony.
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.
3And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties of the Tent; but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die.
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.
4They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.
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.
5And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.
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.
6Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites as a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.
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.”
7But only you and your sons shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near the sanctuary must be put to death.”
8¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u foaki foki kiate koe ʻae tauhi ʻo ʻeku feilaulau hiki hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; kuo u foaki ia kiate koe koeʻuhi ko e fakanofo, pea ki ho ngaahi foha, ʻi he talatuku ʻo lauikuonga.
8Then the LORD said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.
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.
9A portion of the most holy offerings reserved from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings they render to Me as most holy offerings, whether grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.
10Te ke kai ia ʻi he potu tapu ʻaupito, ʻe kai ia ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē: ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe.
10You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.
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.
11And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it.
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.
12I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to the LORD as their firstfruits.
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.
13The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to the LORD will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.
14Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakatapu ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoku ʻaʻau ia.
14Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.
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.
15The firstborn of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to the LORD belongs to you. But you must surely redeem every firstborn son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.
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.
16You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male according to your valuation: five shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs.
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.
17But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep, or a goat; they are holy. You are to sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
18Pea ko honau kakano ʻe ʻaʻau ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaʻau ʻae fatafata lialiaki, pea mo e alanga nima toʻomataʻu.
18And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to 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.”
19All the holy offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD I give to you and to your sons and daughters as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before the LORD for you and your offspring.”
20¶ Pea 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.
20Then the LORD said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.
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.
21Behold, I have given to the Levites all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting.
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.
22No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.
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.
23The Levites are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.
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.”
24For I have given to the Levites as their inheritance the tithe that the Israelites present to the LORD as a contribution. That is why I told them that they would not receive an inheritance among the Israelites.”
25¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
25And the LORD instructed Moses,
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.
26“Speak to the Levites and tell them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe that I have given you as your inheritance, you must present part of it as an offering to the LORD—a tithe of the tithe.
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.
27Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.
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.
28So you are to present an offering to the LORD from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, and from these you are to give the LORD’s offering to Aaron the priest.
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.
29You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’
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.
30Therefore say to the Levites, ‘When you have presented the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the produce of the threshing floor or winepress.
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.
31And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.
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.”
32Once you have presented the best part of it, you will not incur guilt because of it. But you must not defile the sacred offerings of the Israelites, or else you will die.’”
