Shaqadii Wadaaddada Iyo Dadka Reer Laawi

18 Markaasaa Rabbigu Haaruun ku yidhi, Adiga iyo wiilashaada iyo qabiilkaagu waxaad qaadi doontaan dembiga meesha quduuska ah, oo adiga iyo wiilashaada kula jiraa waxaad qaadi doontaan dembiga wadaadnimadiinna. Oo walaalahaa oo ah qabiilka reer Laawi, qabiilkaas oo ah kan aabbahaa, la soo dhowow si ay kuugu darmadaan, oo ay kuugu adeegaan, laakiinse adiga iyo wiilashaada kula jiraa waa inaad teendhada maragga hor joogtaan. Oo iyagu waa inay dhawraan amarkaaga iyo hawsha teendhada oo dhan, laakiinse waa inaanay u soo dhowaan alaabta meesha quduuska ah iyo meesha allabariga, yaanay iyaga iyo idinka toona dhimanine. Oo iyagu ha idinku darmadeen oo ha dhawreen teendhada shirka, iyo hawsha teendhada loo sameeyo oo dhan; oo shisheeyena yaanu idiin soo dhowaan. Oo inaan mar dambe cadho ku dhicin reer binu Israa'iil idiinku waa inaad dhawrtaan hawsha meesha quduuska ah iyo hawsha meesha allabariga. Oo bal eeg, anna walaalihiin reer Laawi ayaan kala dhex baxay reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxay idiin yihiin hadiyad Rabbiga loo siiyey inay teendhada shirka ka adeegaan. Oo adiga iyo wiilashaada kula joogaaba waa inaad wadaadnimadiinna u dhawrtaan waxyaalaha meesha allabariga oo dhan, iyo waxyaalaha daaha ka shisheeya oo dhan, oo waa inaad adeegtaan. Wadaadnimada ayaan idiin siiyey sida hawl hadiyad ah; oo shisheeyihii soo dhowaada waa in la dilaa.

Qurbaannada Loo Bixiyo Wadaaddada Iyo Dadka Reer Laawi

Markaasaa Rabbigu Haaruun ku yidhi, Bal eeg, anna adigaan ku siiyey amarka qurbaannadayda sare loo qaado, kuwaas oo ah waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Subkidda aawadeed ayaan adiga iyo wiilashaada u siiyey qayb joogto ah weligeed. Kulli waxyaalaha aad u quduuska ah oo dabka laga reebay oo aad lahaan doonto waa kuwan: mid kasta oo qurbaankooda ah, xataa qurbaankooda kasta ee hadhuudhka ah, iyo qurbaankooda kasta ee dembiga, iyo qurbaankooda kasta ee xadgudubka, oo ay ii bixinayaan, adiga iyo wiilashaadaba ayay aad u quduus idiin ahaan doonaan. 10 Oo sida waxyaalaha aad u quduuska ah waa inaad u cuntaa, oo mid kasta oo lab ahu wax ha ka cuno. Taasu waa inay quduus kuu ahaataa. 11 Oo adigaa iska leh qurbaanka sare loo qaado oo hadiyaddooda ah, oo ah qurbaannada la ruxruxo ee reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Kuwaas adiga iyo wiilashaada iyo gabdhahaaga kula jooga ayaan u siiyey qayb joogto ah weligeed. Oo mid kasta oo daahir ah oo gurigaaga joogaaba wax ha ka cuno. 12 Oo saliidda inteeda ugu wanaagsan oo dhan iyo canabka iyo hadhuudhka intooda ugu wanaagsan oo dhan kuwaasoo ah midhaha ugu horreeya oo ay Rabbiga siiyaanba, ayaan adiga ku siiyey. 13 Midhaha ugu horreeya oo dalkooda oo dhan, oo ay Rabbiga u keenaan, adigaa iska lahaan doonta; oo mid kasta oo daahir ah oo gurigaaga joogaaba wax ha ka cuno. 14 Oo wax kasta oo ay reer binu Israa'iil gooni u soocaan waa inay kuwaaga ahaadaan. 15 Oo wax kasta oo maxal furo oo Rabbiga loo bixiyo, dad iyo duunyoba, waa inay kuwaaga ahaadaan, habase yeeshee dadka curadkiisa kolleyba waa inaad madax furtaa, oo xoolaha aan daahirka ahayn curadyadoodana waa inaad madax furtaa. 16 Oo kuwa la madax furayo, markay bil jiraan waa inaad ku madax furtaa, sidaad u qiimayso, lacag ah shan sheqel oo le'eg sheqelka meesha quduuska ah (kaasu waa labaatan geeraah). 17 Laakiinse dibigii curad ah, iyo curadka idaha, iyo curadka riyaha midnaba yaan la madax furin, iyagu waa quduus; haddaba dhiiggooda waa inaad meesha allabariga ku rushaysaa, oo baruurtoodana waa inaad u gubtaa qurbaan dab lagu gubo oo Rabbiga caraf udgoon u ah. 18 Oo hilibkoodana waa inuu kaaga ahaadaa, oo sidii sakaarkii la ruxruxo iyo bowdadii midig adigaa iska leh. 19 Oo waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo dhan qurbaannadooda sare loo qaado oo ay reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga u bixiyaan ayaan adiga iyo wiilashaada iyo gabdhahaaga kula jooga u siiyey qayb joogto ah weligeed. Oo taasu waa axdi cusbo ah oo weligiis Rabbiga ku hor yaal, oo uu idinla dhigtay adiga iyo farcankaaga kula jiraba. 20 Markaasaa Rabbigu Haaruun ku yidhi, Adigu dalkooda dhaxal kuma lahaan doonto, oo dhexdoodana innaba qayb kuma yeelan doonto. Aniga ayaa reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda ku ah qaybtaadii iyo dhaxalkaagiiba.

21 Oo bal eeg, reer Laawina waxaan dhaxal u siiyey meeltobnaadka ay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan bixiyaan; taasu waa hawshooda ay qabtaan abaalgudkeedii, taasoo ah hawsha teendhada shirka. 22 Oo hadda ka dib waa inaan reer binu Israa'iil u soo dhowaan teendhada shirka yaanay dembi qaadine oo dhimane. 23 Laakiinse reer Laawi waa inay teendhada shirka ka adeegaan, oo ay dembigooda qaadaan: oo taasu waa inay idiin ahaataa qaynuun weligiin ab ka ab ah, oo iyagu reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda dhaxal kuma yeelan doonaan. 24 Waayo, waxaan reer Laawi dhaxal u siiyey meeltobnaadka ay reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga ugu bixiyaan qurbaan sare loo qaado, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaan iyaga ku idhi, Reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda dhaxal kuma lahaan doontaan.

25 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, 26 Weliba waxaad la hadashaa reer Laawi oo ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad reer binu Israa'iil dhaxal uga qaadataan meeltobnaadka aan idinka siiyey, markaas waa inaad Rabbiga uga bixisaan qurbaan sare loo qaado, oo ah meeltobnaadka meeltobnaadkiisa. 27 Oo qurbaankiinna sare loo qaado wuxuu idiin tirsanaan doonaa sidii isagoo ah hadhuudhka meesha lagu tumo, iyo sida buuxsanaanta macsaradda canabka. 28 Oo sidaas waa inaad idinku qurbaan sare loo qaado Rabbiga uga bixisaan meeltobnaadyadiinna oo dhan oo aad ka qaadataan reer binu Israa'iil, oo waa inaad Rabbiga qurbaankiisii sare loo qaado ka siisaan wadaadka Haaruun ah. 29 Oo hadiyadaha aad heshaan oo dhanba waa inaad ka bixisaan qurbaan kasta oo Rabbiga oo sare loo qaado intooda ugu wanaagsan oo ah inta ugu wada quduusan. 30 Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Markii aad sare uga qaaddaan inta ugu wanaagsan, waxaa reer Laawi loogu tirinayaa sida hadhuudhka meesha wax lagu tumo yaal iyo sida midhaha canabka oo macsaradda yaal. 31 Oo meel kastaad ku cuni doontaan idinka iyo reerihiinnuba, waayo, iyadu waa abaalgudkiinna aad ka heshaan hawsha aad ka qabataan teendhada shirka. 32 Oo idinku taas aawadeed dembi u qaadi maysaan, markaad sare uga qaaddaan inteeda ugu wanaagsan; oo waa inaydaan nijaasayn waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil.

Duties of Priests and Levites

18 The Lord said to Aaron, “You, your sons and your family are to bear the responsibility for offenses connected with the sanctuary,(A) and you and your sons alone are to bear the responsibility for offenses connected with the priesthood. Bring your fellow Levites from your ancestral tribe to join you and assist you when you and your sons minister(B) before the tent of the covenant law. They are to be responsible to you(C) and are to perform all the duties of the tent,(D) but they must not go near the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar. Otherwise both they and you will die.(E) They are to join you and be responsible for the care of the tent of meeting—all the work at the tent—and no one else may come near where you are.(F)

“You are to be responsible for the care of the sanctuary and the altar,(G) so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelites again. I myself have selected your fellow Levites from among the Israelites as a gift to you,(H) dedicated to the Lord to do the work at the tent of meeting.(I) But only you and your sons may serve as priests in connection with everything at the altar and inside the curtain.(J) I am giving you the service of the priesthood as a gift.(K) Anyone else who comes near the sanctuary is to be put to death.(L)

Offerings for Priests and Levites

Then the Lord said to Aaron, “I myself have put you in charge of the offerings presented to me; all the holy offerings the Israelites give me I give to you and your sons as your portion,(M) your perpetual share.(N) You are to have the part of the most holy offerings(O) that is kept from the fire. From all the gifts they bring me as most holy offerings, whether grain(P) or sin[a](Q) or guilt offerings,(R) that part belongs to you and your sons. 10 Eat it as something most holy; every male shall eat it.(S) You must regard it as holy.(T)

11 “This also is yours: whatever is set aside from the gifts of all the wave offerings(U) of the Israelites. I give this to you and your sons and daughters as your perpetual share.(V) Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean(W) may eat it.

12 “I give you all the finest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain(X) they give the Lord(Y) as the firstfruits of their harvest.(Z) 13 All the land’s firstfruits that they bring to the Lord will be yours.(AA) Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean may eat it.(AB)

14 “Everything in Israel that is devoted[b] to the Lord(AC) is yours. 15 The first offspring of every womb, both human and animal, that is offered to the Lord is yours.(AD) But you must redeem(AE) every firstborn(AF) son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.(AG) 16 When they are a month old,(AH) you must redeem them at the redemption price set at five shekels[c](AI) of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel,(AJ) which weighs twenty gerahs.(AK)

17 “But you must not redeem the firstborn of a cow, a sheep or a goat; they are holy.(AL) Splash their blood(AM) against the altar and burn their fat(AN) as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AO) 18 Their meat is to be yours, just as the breast of the wave offering(AP) and the right thigh are yours.(AQ) 19 Whatever is set aside from the holy(AR) offerings the Israelites present to the Lord I give to you and your sons and daughters as your perpetual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt(AS) before the Lord for both you and your offspring.”

20 The Lord said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them;(AT) I am your share and your inheritance(AU) among the Israelites.

21 “I give to the Levites all the tithes(AV) in Israel as their inheritance(AW) in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting.(AX) 22 From now on the Israelites must not go near the tent of meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die.(AY) 23 It is the Levites who are to do the work at the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for any offenses they commit against it. This is a lasting ordinance(AZ) for the generations to come.(BA) They will receive no inheritance(BB) among the Israelites.(BC) 24 Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord.(BD) That is why I said concerning them: ‘They will have no inheritance among the Israelites.’”

25 The Lord said to Moses, 26 “Speak to the Levites and say to them: ‘When you receive from the Israelites the tithe I give you(BE) as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the Lord’s offering.(BF) 27 Your offering will be reckoned(BG) to you as grain from the threshing floor(BH) or juice from the winepress.(BI) 28 In this way you also will present an offering to the Lord from all the tithes(BJ) you receive from the Israelites. From these tithes you must give the Lord’s portion to Aaron the priest. 29 You must present as the Lord’s portion the best and holiest part of everything given to you.’

30 “Say to the Levites: ‘When you present the best part, it will be reckoned to you as the product of the threshing floor or the winepress.(BK) 31 You and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere, for it is your wages for your work at the tent of meeting.(BL) 32 By presenting the best part(BM) of it you will not be guilty in this matter;(BN) then you will not defile the holy offerings(BO) of the Israelites, and you will not die.’”
