18–BOB
Ruhoniylar va levilarning burchlari
1 Egamiz Horunga dedi: “Sen, oʻgʻillaring va butun Levi qabilasi Muqaddas chodirga nisbatan qilingan har qanday ayb uchun javobgar boʻlasizlar. Ruhoniylik xizmatida yoʻl qoʻyilgan ayblar uchun esa faqatgina sen va oʻgʻillaring javobgar boʻlasizlar. 2 Qabiladosh levi birodarlaringni yoningga ol. Sen oʻgʻillaring bilan Muqaddas ahd chodirida xizmat qilayotganingda, ular sizlarga yordam berishadi. 3 Levilar sizlarning nazoratingiz ostida xizmat qilib, Muqaddas chodirga oid barcha yumushlarni bajarishadi. Lekin ular muqaddas jihozlarga va qurbongohga zinhor yaqinlashmasinlar, aks holda, ular ham, sizlar ham halok boʻlasizlar. 4 Levilar sizlarga qoʻshilishib, Uchrashuv chodiridagi barcha vazifalarni bajarishsin. Levilardan boshqa birortasi sizlar bilan birga xizmat qilmasin. 5 Mening gʻazabim Isroil xalqiga qarshi yana avj olmasligi uchun Chodirning Muqaddas xonalarida va qurbongohda faqatgina sen oʻgʻillaring bilan xizmat qilgin. 6 Levi birodarlaringni Men Oʻzim senga yordamchi qilib, Isroil xalqi orasidan tanlab olganman. Ular Uchrashuv chodirida xizmat qilishlari uchun Men, Egangizga bagʻishlangan. 7 Shunday boʻlsa–da, qurbongoh va ichki parda orqasidagi Eng muqaddas xona bilan bogʻliq boʻlgan barcha ruhoniylik xizmatini faqat sen oʻgʻillaring bilan bajar. Ruhoniylikni Men sizlarga hadya qilib berdim. Muqaddas buyumlar oldiga kelgan boshqa har qanday odamning jazosi oʻlimdir.”
Ruhoniylarning ulushi
8 Egamiz yana Horunga dedi: “Isroil xalqi Menga olib kelgan hamma muqaddas nazrlarni nazorat qilishni senga topshirdim. Bu nazrlarni senga va oʻgʻillaringga doimiy ulush qilib berdim. 9 Isroil xalqi Menga beradigan eng muqaddas nazrlarning, yaʼni don nazri, gunoh qurbonligi va ayb qurbonliklarining kuydirilmaydigan qismi sen bilan oʻgʻillaringga tegishlidir. 10 Bularni muqaddas joyda tanovul qilinglar. Bu nazrlarni faqat erkaklar tanovul qilishlari mumkin. Bu nazrlarni gʻoyat muqaddas deb bilinglar.
11 Qurbongoh oldida Isroil xalqi yuqoriga koʻtarib, Menga bergan boshqa hamma nazrlar ham sen bilan oʻgʻil–qizlaringning doimiy ulushidir. Xonadoningdagi har bir pok odam bu nazrlarni tanovul qilishi mumkin.
12 Odamlar Men, Egangizga nazr qilgan ilk hosilning eng sifatli zaytun moyini, sharobini va donini ham Men sizlarga berdim. 13 Menga nazr qilingan butun yurtning ilk hosili sizlarniki boʻladi. Xonadoningizdagi har bir pok odam bu nazrlarni tanovul qilishi mumkin. 14 Isroilda Menga tamomila bagʻishlangan har bir narsa sizlarniki boʻladi. 15 Isroil xalqi Menga nazr qilgan har bir toʻngʻich oʻgʻil va hayvonlarining birinchi erkak bolasi ham sizlarnikidir. Lekin sizlar ularning har bir toʻngʻich oʻgʻli evaziga hamda harom hayvonning birinchi erkak bolasi evaziga ulardan kumush olishlaringiz shart. 16 Har bir toʻngʻich oʻgʻil bir oylik boʻlganda, ularning evaziga besh boʻlakdan kumush olinglar. Har bir kumush boʻlakning ogʻirligi 2,5 misqol boʻlsin .
17 Lekin sigirning, qoʻyning va echkining birinchi bolasi evaziga hech qanday toʻlov olma. Bu jonivorlar faqat Menga tegishlidir. Ularning qonini qurbongohga sep, yogʻini esa Men, Egangizga yoqimli hid kelishi uchun olovda kuydir. 18 Qoʻchqorning yuqoriga koʻtarilgan toʻshi va oʻng soni seniki boʻlgani kabi, bu jonivorlarning goʻshti ham seniki boʻladi. 19 Isroil xalqi Menga keltiradigan ehsonlarning hammasini Men senga va oʻgʻil–qizlaringga doimiy ulush qilib beraman. Bu sen va sening nasling bilan Mening oʻrtamdagi qatʼiy ahddir.”
20 Soʻng Egamiz Horunga yana dedi: “Sizlar Isroil yurtida ulush olmaysizlar, xalqingiz orasida sizlarga bir boʻlak yer ham berilmaydi. Zotan, Isroil xalqi orasidagi ulushingiz ham, mulkingiz ham Menman.
Levilarning ulushi
21 Levilarning Uchrashuv chodirida qilgan xizmati evaziga Men ularga Isroil yurtidagi hamma ushrlarni xizmat haqi qilib beraman. 22 Bundan buyon Isroil xalqi Uchrashuv chodiriga yaqin kelmasin. Aks holda, ular qilgan gunohi uchun jazo tortib oʻladilar. 23 Levilar esa Uchrashuv chodirida xizmat qilib, Chodirga nisbatan qilingan har qanday ayb ish uchun javobgar boʻlishadi. Bu avlodlaringiz osha abadiy qonun–qoida boʻlsin. Levilar Isroil xalqi orasida yerni ulush qilib olishmaydi. 24 Buning oʻrniga, Men ularga Isroil xalqining Menga nazr qilgan barcha ushrlarini beraman. Shu sababli Men, levilar Isroil xalqi orasida ulush olmaydi, deb aytgan edim.”
Levilarning ushri
25 Egamiz yana Musoga dedi:
26 — Levilarga Mening shu gapimni yetkaz: “Egamiz Isroil xalqining ushrini sizlarga ulush qilib bergan. Sizlar ushrni olganingizda, shu ushrning oʻndan bir qismini Egamizga nazr qilib beringlar. 27 Egamiz bu nazringizni don bilan sharobning ilk hosili oʻrnida qabul qilib oladi. 28 Demak, sizlar Isroil xalqidan oladigan jamiki ushringizning oʻndan bir qismini Egamizga nazr qilishingiz shart. Oʻsha nazrni ruhoniy Horunga beringlar. 29 Isroil xalqidan qabul qilgan ushrning faqatgina eng sifatlisini Egamizga nazr qilinglar. 30 Isroil xalqi Egamizga don bilan sharob nazrlarini keltirgandan keyin hosilning qolganini oʻzlariga qoldiradilar. Shu singari, sizlar ham ushrlarning eng sifatlisini Egamizga bagʻishlaganingizdan keyin, qolganini oʻzingizga olinglar. 31 Qolganini oʻzingiz oilangiz bilan har qanday joyda yeb–ichishingiz mumkin. Bular Uchrashuv chodirida qilgan xizmatingiz uchun toʻlovdir. 32 Egamizga ushrning eng sifatlisini bagʻishlaganingizdan keyingina ushrning qolganini yeyishingiz mumkin, shunda sizlar aybdor hisoblanmaysizlar. Shunday yoʻl tutsangiz, Isroil xalqining muqaddas hadyalarini bulgʻamagan boʻlasizlar, oʻzlaringiz nobud boʻlmaysizlar.”
1 And 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. 2 And 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. 3 And 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. 4 And 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. 5 And 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. 6 And 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. 7 Therefore 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. 9 This 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. 10 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee. 11 And 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. 12 All 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. 13 And 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. 14 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. 15 Every 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. 16 And 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. 17 But 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. 18 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. 19 All 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. 21 And, 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. 22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. 23 But 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. 24 But 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, 26 Thus 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. 27 And 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. 28 Thus 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. 29 Out 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. 30 Therefore 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. 31 And 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. 32 And 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.
