Numbers 18

1 So 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.

1 耶和华对亚伦说：“你和你的儿子及亲族要承担触犯圣所的罪责；你和你儿子也要承担触犯祭司职务的罪责。

2 But 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.

2 你和你儿子在安放约柜的圣幕前供职时，要把你们利未支派的亲族也一同带去，让他们协助你。

3 And 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.

3 他们要遵守你的吩咐，看守整个圣幕，但不可接近圣所的器具和祭坛，以免他们和你们都死亡。

4 They 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.

4 他们要和你一起负责看守圣幕，办理圣幕的一切事务。外人不可靠近。

5 And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites again.

5 你们要看守圣所和祭坛，以免我的愤怒再临到以色列人。

6 Behold, 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.

6 我已从以色列人中选出你们的利未亲族归给我，协助你们在会幕中司职。

7 But 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.”

7 你和你儿子要尽祭司的本分，负责祭坛和至圣所的一切事务。祭司的职分是我赏赐给你们的，外人若近前来，必被处死。”

8 Then 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.

8 耶和华对亚伦说：“你看！我让你照管以色列人献给我的举祭，把一切圣物赐给你和你的子孙，作为你们永远当得的份。

9 A 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.

9 以色列人献给我的至圣之物素祭、赎罪祭和赎过祭中留下不烧的部分，都归你和你的子孙。

10 You are to eat it as a most holy offering, and every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy.

10 你们男子都可以吃这些圣物，要在极其圣洁的地方吃。要把这些视为圣物。

11 And 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.

11 以色列人献的举祭和摇祭也都归你，我已把它们赐给你和你的儿女，作为你们永远当得的份。你家中所有洁净的人都可以吃。

12 I 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.

12 我把以色列人献给耶和华的初熟之物——最好的新油、新酒和五谷都赐给你。

13 The 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.

13 他们献给耶和华的一切初熟之物都归你，你家中洁净的人都可以吃。

14 Every devoted thing in Israel belongs to you.

14 以色列人永远献上的一切 都要归你。

15 The 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.

15 奉献给耶和华的长子和头生的牲畜都归你，但要赎出长子和不洁净的头生牲畜。

16 You 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.

16 他们要在满月的时候被赎回，以圣所的秤为准，即一舍客勒是二十季拉，赎价是一两银子。

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

17 头生的牛、绵羊和山羊不用赎出来，它们都是圣物。你要把它们的血洒在祭坛上，把脂肪烧掉，作为献给耶和华的馨香火祭；

18 And their meat belongs to you, just as the breast and right thigh of the wave offering belong to you.

18 它们的肉要归你，正如摇祭的胸肉和举祭的右腿肉一样。

19 All 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.”

19 以色列人献给耶和华的圣物中，我把举祭赐给你和你的儿女，作为你们永远当得的份，这是我与你及你的后代所立的永世之约。”

20 Then 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.

20 耶和华对亚伦说：“你在以色列人的土地上不可有产业，在他们的财物上不可有份，因为我是你在以色列人中的所得之份，是你的产业。

21 Behold, 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.

21 “我要把以色列人出产的十分之一赐给利未人作产业，作为他们在会幕司职的酬劳。

22 No longer may the Israelites come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.

22 今后以色列人不可走近会幕，以免因犯罪而死。

23 The 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.

23 只有利未人可在会幕司职，他们要担负触犯圣幕的罪责，这是你们世代当守的永久律例。利未人在以色列人中不可有产业，

24 For 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.”

24 因为我已经把以色列人献给耶和华的十分之一举祭赐给他们作产业。因此，我吩咐他们不可在以色列人中有产业。”

25 And the LORD instructed Moses,

25 耶和华对摩西说：

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.

26 “你把以下条例告诉利未人。 “你们从以色列人手中得到我赐给你们作产业的十分之一后，要从中取出十分之一，作为举祭献给耶和华，

27 Your offering will be reckoned to you as grain from the threshing floor or juice from the winepress.

27 这就算作你们献上了麦场的五谷和榨酒池的酒。

28 So 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.

28 这样，你们要从以色列人给你们的十分之一中，拿出一部分献给耶和华作举祭，将这举祭归给亚伦祭司。

29 You must present the offering due the LORD from all the best of every gift, the holiest part of it.’

29 你们要把所得之物中至圣至好的献给耶和华作举祭。

30 Therefore 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.

30 “你要告诉利未人，‘你们奉献了最好的以后，其余的算作你们麦场上的五谷和榨酒池的酒，

31 And you and your households may eat the rest of it anywhere; it is the compensation for your work at the Tent of Meeting.

31 你们和家人可以在任何地方吃，因为这些是你们在会幕司职的酬劳。

32 Once 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.’”

32 你们献上最好的以后，享用这些就不会获罪了。你们不可亵渎以色列人献上的圣物，免得死亡。’”
