The charge of the priests and of the Levites, and their portion.

1And the Lord said to 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 sins of your priesthood.E il Signor e disse ad Aronne: Tu, e i tuoi figliuoli, e la casa del padre tuo con te porterete le iniquità commesse contro del santuario: e tu, e i tuoi figliuoli insieme pagherete il fio de' peccati, che riguardano il vostro sacerdozio:AND our Lord said to Aaron: Thou, and thy sonnes, and the house of thy father with thee shal beare the iniquitie of the Sanctuarie: both thou & thy sonnes together shal beare the sinnes of your priesthood.Dixitque Dominus ad Aaron: Tu, et filii tui, et domus patris tui tecum, portabitis iniquitatem sanctuarii: et tu et filii tui simul sustinebitis peccata sacerdotii vestri. 2And take with thee thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, and the sceptre of thy father, and let them be ready in hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons shall minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.Oltre a ciò prendi teco i tuoi fratelli della tribù di Levi, e la famiglia del padre tuo, ed ei ti assistano, e ti servano: ma tu, e i tuoi figliuoli servirete nel tabernacolo del testimonio.but thy brethren also of the tribe of Leui, and the scepter of thy father take with thee, and let them be readie at hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sonnes shal minister in the tabernacle of testimonie.Sed et fratres tuos de tribu Levi, et sceptrum patris tui sume tecum, præstoque sint, et ministrent tibi: tu autem et filii tui ministrabitis in tabernaculo testimonii. 3And the Levites shall watch to do thy commands, and about all the works of the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary nor the altar, lest both they die, and you also perish with them.E i Leviti staranno attenti a' tuoi ordini, e a tutto quello che è da fare riguardo al tabernacolo: con questo però, che non si accostino a' vasi del santuario, né all'altare, affinché ed essi non muoiano, e voi non siate sterminati con essi:And the Leuites shal watch vpon thy preceptes, and vpon al the workes of the tabernacle: so not withstanding, that they approch not to the vessel of the Sanctuarie and to the altar, lest both they die, and you perish withal.Excubabuntque Levitæ ad præcepta tua, et ad cuncta opera tabernaculi: ita dumtaxat ut ad vasa sanctuarii et ad altare non accedant, ne et illi moriantur, et vos pereatis simul. 4But let them be with thee, and watch in the charge of the tabernacle, and in all the ceremonies thereof. A stranger shall not join himself with you.Eglino saranno con te, e veglieranno a guardia del tabernacolo, e a tutto il servigio di esso. Nissuno di altra stirpe si mescolerà con voi.but let them be with thee, and watch in the custodies of the tabernacle, and in al the ceremonies therof. A stranger shal not ioyne with you.Sint autem tecum, et excubent in custodiis tabernaculi, et in omnibus cæremoniis ejus. Alienigena non miscebitur vobis.

5Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel.Vegliate alla custodia del santuario, e al ministero dell'altare; affinché non iscoppi l'ira(mia) contro i figliuoli d'Israele.Watch in the custodie of the Sanctuarie, and in the ministerie of the altar: lest indignation rise vpon the children of Israel.Excubate in custodia sanctuarii, et in ministerio altaris: ne oriatur indignatio super filios Israël. 6I have given you your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, and have delivered them for a gift to the Lord, to serve in the ministries of the tabernacle.Io ho dati a voi i vostri fratelli Leviti separati dagli altri figliuoli d'Israele, e a voi gli ho rimessi, come dono fatto al Signore, affinché servano negli uffici del suo tabernacolo.I haue geuen you your brethren the Leuites out of the middes of the children of Israel, and haue deliuered them a gifte to the Lord, to serue in the ministeries of his tabernacle.Ego dedi vobis fratres vestros Levitas de medio filiorum Israël, et tradidi donum Domino, ut serviant in ministeriis tabernaculi ejus. 7But thou and thy sons look ye to the priesthood: and all things that pertain to the service of the altar, and that are within the veil, shall be executed by the priests. If any stranger shall approach, he shall be slain.Tu poi, e i tuoi figliuoli custodite il vostro sacerdozio: e tutte le cose, che spettano al culto dell'altare, e quelle che sono di là dal velo, saranno sotto il governo de' sacerdoti. Se alcuno estraneo vi metterà la mano, sarà ucciso.And thou and thy sonnes looke to your priesthood: and al thinges that perteyne to the seruice of the altar, and that are within the vele, shal be executed by the priestes. if anie stranger approch, he shal be slaine.Tu autem et filii tui custodite sacerdotium vestrum: et omnia quæ ad cultum altaris pertinent, et intra velum sunt, per sacerdotes administrabuntur: si quis externus accesserit, occidetur. 8And the Lord said to Aaron: Behold I have given thee the charge of my firstfruits. All things that are sanctified by the children of Israel, I have delivered to thee and to thy sons for the priestly office, by everlasting ordinances.E il Signore disse ad Aronne: Ecco che io ho date a te in custodia le mie primizie. Tutte le cose, che sono offerte da' figliuoli d'Israele, le ho rimesse a te, e ai tuoi figliuoli per ragion dell'ufficio sacerdotale: questa è legge perpetua.And our Lord spake to Aaron, behold I haue geuen thee the custodie of my first fruites. Al thinges that are sanctified of the children of Israel, haue I deliuered to thee and to thy sonnes for the priestlie office, as euerlasting ordinances.Locutusque est Dominus ad Aaron: Ecce dedi tibi custodiam primitiarum mearum. Omnia quæ sanctificantur a filiis Israël, tradidi tibi et filiis tuis pro officio sacerdotali legitima sempiterna.

9These therefore shalt thou take of the things that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatsoever is rendered to me for sin and for trespass, and becometh holy of holies, shall be for thee and thy sons.Ecco adunque quel che tu prenderai delle cose santificate, e offerte al Signore. Qualunque obblazione, e sacrifizio, e qualunque cosa è data a me per lo peccato, e per il delitto, onde diviene santissima, sarà tua, e de' tuoi figliuoli.These thinges therfore shalt thou take of those, that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord. Al oblation, and sacrifice, and whatsoeuer is rendred to me for sinne and offence, & becometh Holie of holies, shal be thine, and thy sonnes.Hæc ergo accipies de his, quæ sanctificantur et oblata sunt Domino. Omnis oblatio, et sacrificium, et quidquid pro peccato atque delicto redditur mihi, et cedit in Sancta sanctorum, tuum erit, et filiorum tuorum. 10Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.Tu la mangerai nel santuario: i maschi soli ne mangeranno, perché è cosa riserbata a te.In the Sanctuarie shalt thou eate it: males onlie shal eate therof, because it is to thee a cōsecrated thing.In sanctuario comedes illud: mares tantum edent ex eo, quia consecratum est tibi. 11But the firstfruits, which the children of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, by a perpetual law. He that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.Quanto poi alle primizie votive, e offerte da' figliuoli d'Israele, io le ho date a te, e a' tuoi figliuoli, e alle tue figlie per diritto perpetuo: chiunque è mondo nella tua casa, ne mangerà.But the first fruites, which the children of Israel shal vow and offer, I haue geuen thee, and thy sonnes, and thy daughters for a perpetual right. he that is cleane in thy house, shal eate themPrimitias autem, quas voverint et obtulerint filii Israël, tibi dedi, et filiis tuis, ac filiabus tuis, jure perpetuo: qui mundus est in domo tua, vescetur eis. 12All the best of the oil, and of the wine, and of the corn, whatsoever firstfruits they offer to the Lord, I have given them to thee.Il più squisito olio, e vino, e frumento, e tutte le primizie offerte al Signore, le ho date a te.Al the best of oile, and wine, and corne, whatsoeuer first fruites they offer to the Lord, I haue geuen them to thee.Omnem medullam olei, et vini, ac frumenti, quidquid offerunt primitiarum Domino, tibi dedi.

13All the firstripe of the fruits, that the ground bringeth forth, and which are brought to the Lord, shall be for thy use: he that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.Tutti i primi frutti prodotti dalla terra, e portati (davanti) al Signore serviranno ad uso tuo: chiunque in tua casa è mondo, ne mangerà.Of fruites al the first, that the ground bringeth forth, and are brought to the Lord, shal turne to thy vses: he that is cleane in thy house, shal eate them.Universa frugum initia, quas gignit humus, et Domino deportantur, cedent in usus tuos: qui mundus est in domo tua, vescetur eis. 14Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.Tutto quello che i figliuoli d'Israele offeriranno per voto, sarà tuo.Euerie thing that the children of Israel render by vow, shal be thine.Omne quod ex voto reddiderint filii Israël, tuum erit. 15Whatsoever is firstborn of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beasts, shall belong to thee: only for the firstborn of man thou shalt take a price, and every beast that is unclean thou shalt cause to be redeemed,Tutti i primogeniti di qualunque specie, che si offeriscono al Signore sia degli uomini, sia degli animali, saranno di tua ragione: con questo però, che in cambio del primogenito dell'uomo riceverai il riscatto, e farai che sia riscattato qualunque animale immondo:Whatsoeuer first breaketh forth from the matrice of al flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beastes, shal be thy right: yet so, that for the first borne of man thou take a price, and euerie beast that is vncleane thou cause to be redemed,Quidquid primum erumpit e vulva cunctæ carnis, quam offerunt Domino, sive ex hominibus, sive de pecoribus fuerit, tui juris erit: ita dumtaxat ut pro hominis primogenito pretium accipias, et omne animal quod immundum est redimi facias, 16And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.Il riscatto dell'uomo si farà dopo un mese con cinque sicli d'argento al peso del santuario. Il siclo ha venti oboli.whose redemption shal be after one moneth, for fiue sicles of siluer, by the weight of the Sanctuarie. A sicle hath twentie oboles.cujus redemptio erit post unum mensem, siclis argenti quinque, pondere sanctuarii. Siclus viginti obolos habet. 17But the firstling of a cow, and of a sheep and of a goat thou shalt not cause to be redeemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. Their blood only thou shalt pour upon the altar, and their fat thou shalt burn for a most sweet odour to the Lord.Non farai però riscattare i primogeniti della vacca, e della pecora, e della capra; perché sono consacrati al Signore: spargerai soltanto il loro sangue sopra l'altare, e brucerai il grasso in odor soavissimo al Signore.But the first borne of beefe and sheepe and goate thou shalt not cause to be redemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. onlie the bloud of them thou shalt powre vpon the altar, and the fatte thou shalt burne for a most sweete odour to the Lord.Primogenitum autem bovis, et ovis, et capræ, non facies redimi, quia sanctificata sunt Domino. Sanguinem tantum eorum fundes super altare, et adipes adolebis in suavissimum odorem Domino.

18But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.Le carni poi serviranno ad uso tuo, come il petto consacrato, e la spalla destra saran cose tue.But the flesh shal turne to thy vse, as the consecrated brest, and the right shoulder, shal be thine.Carnes vero in usum tuum cedent, sicut pectusculum consecratum, et armus dexter: tua erunt. 19All the firstfruits of the sanctuary which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to thee and to thy sons and daughters, by a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, to thee and to thy sons.Tutte le primizie del santuario, le quali sono offerte da' figliuoli d'Israele al Signore, le ho date a te, e a' tuoi figliuoli, e figlie per diritto perpetuo. Questo è patto inalterabile, e sempiterno dinanzi al Signore per te, e pe' tuoi figliuoli.Al the first fruites of the Sanctuarie which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, haue I geuen thee and thy sonnes, and daughters for a perpetual right A couenant of salt is it for euer before the Lord, to thee and to thy sonnes.Omnes primitias sanctuarii, quas offerunt filii Israël Domino, tibi dedi, et filiis, ac filiabus tuis, jure perpetuo. Pactum salis est sempiternum coram Domino, tibi ac filiis tuis. 20And the Lord said to Aaron: You shall possess nothing in their land, neither shall you have a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.E il Signore disse ad Aronne: Voi non possederete nulla nella terra de' vostri fratelli, e non avrete parte alla loro eredità: io tua porzione, ed eredità in mezzo a' figliuoli d'Israele.And our Lord said to Aaron: In their land you shal possesse nothing, neither shal you haue a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the middes of the children of Israel.Dixitque Dominus ad Aaron: In terra eorum nihil possidebitis, nec habebitis partem inter eos: ego pars et hæreditas tua in medio filiorum Israël. 21And I have given to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel for a possession, for the ministry wherewith they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant:A' figliuoli di Levi ho dato il diritto di tutte le decime d'Israele per ragione del ministero, che esercitano per me nel tabernacolo dell'alleanza.And to the sonnes of Leui I haue geuen al the tithes of Israel in possession for the ministerie wherwith they serue me in the tabernacle of couenant:Filiis autem Levi dedi omnes decimas Israëlis in possessionem, pro ministerio, quo serviunt mihi in tabernaculo fœderis:

22That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,Affinché non si accostino più i figliuoli d'Israele al tabernacolo, e non commettano un fallo, che porti morte,that the children of Israel approch not any more to the tabernacle, nor committe deadlie sinne,ut non accedant ultra filii Israël ad tabernaculum, nec committant peccatum mortiferum, 23But only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle, and bear the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall not possess any other thing,Servendo a me i soli figliuoli di Levi nel tabernacolo, e portando essi i peccati del popolo: questa sarà legge eterna per la vostra posterità. Eglino non possederanno altra cosa,onlie the sonnes of Leui seruing me in the tabernacle, and bearing the sinnes of the people. it shal be an euerlasting ordinance in your generations. No other thing shal they possesse,solis filiis Levi mihi in tabernaculo servientibus, et portantibus peccata populi. Legitimum sempiternum erit in generationibus vestris. Nihil aliud possidebunt, 24But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.Contentandosi delle decime offerte, le quali io ho separate ad uso loro, e pelle loro necessità.being content with the oblation of tithes, which I haue separated for their vses and necessaries.decimarum oblatione contenti, quas in usus eorum et necessaria separavi. 25And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:E il Signore parlò a Mosè, e disse:And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 26Command the Levites, and declare unto them: When you shall receive of the children of Israel the tithes, which I have given you, offer the firstfruits of them to the Lord, that is to say, the tenth part of the tenth:Da' quest'ordine, e fa' questa intimazione a' Leviti: Quando voi avrete riscosso da' figliuoli d'Israele le decime, le quali io ho date a voi, ne offerirete le primizie al Signore, vale a dire la decima parte delle decime,Command the Leuites, and denounce vnto them: When you shal receiue of the children of Israel the tithes, which I haue geuen you, offer first fruites of them to the Lord, that is to say, the tenth part of the tenth:Præcipe Levitis, atque denuntia: Cum acceperitis a filiis Israël decimas, quas dedi vobis, primitias earum offerte Domino, id est, decimam partem decimæ, 27That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:Affinché questo sia contato a voi come un'offerta delle primizie tanto dell'aia, come dello strettoio:that it may be reputed to you for an oblation of first fruites, as wel of the barne floores as of the presses,ut reputetur vobis in oblationem primitivorum, tam de areis quam de torcularibus:

28And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.E di tutto quello che vi è dato, offerite le primizie al Signore, e datele ad Aronne sacerdote.and of al thinges wherof you receiue tithes, the first fruites offer to the Lord, and geue them to Aaron the priest.et universis quorum accipitis primitias, offerte Domino, et date Aaron sacerdoti. 29All the things that you shall offer of the tithes, and shall separate for the gifts of the Lord, shall be the best and choicest things.Tutto quello che offerirete delle decime, e quello che separarete per donarlo al Signore, sarà l'ottimo, e il più scelto.Al thinges that you shal offer of the tithes, and shal separate for the giftes of the Lord, they shal be the best and chosen thinges.Omnia quæ offeretis ex decimis, et in donaria Domini separabitis, optima et electa erunt. 30And thou shalt say to them: If you offer all the goodly and the better things of the tithes, it shall be reckoned to you as if you had given the firstfruits of the barnfloor and the winepress:Dirai ancora a' Leviti: Se il più bello, e il meglio offerirete delle decime, avrete merito, come se deste le primizie dell'aia, e dello strettoio.And thou shalt say to them: If you offer al the goodlie and the better thinges of the tithes, it shal be reputed to you as if you had geuen first fruites of the barne floore and the presse:Dicesque ad eos: Si præclara et meliora quæque obtuleritis ex decimis, reputabitur vobis quasi de area, et torculari dederitis primitias: 31And you shall eat them in all your places, both you and your families: because it is your reward for the ministry, wherewith you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.Le decime saranno vostro sostentamento in qualunque luogo abitate e voi, e le vostre famiglie: perché son desse la mercede del ministero, a cui servite nel tabernacolo del testimonio.and you shal eate them in al your places, as wel you as your families: because it is the reward for the ministerie, wherwith you serue in the tabernacle of testimonie.et comedetis eas in omnibus locis vestris, tam vos quam familiæ vestræ: quia pretium est pro ministerio, quo servitis in tabernaculo testimonii. 32And you shall not sin in this point, by reserving the choicest and fat things to yourselves, lest you profane the oblations of the children of Israel, and die.E vi guarderete dal mancare in questo col serbare per voi il meglio, e il più scelto: non contaminate le obblazioni de' figliuoli d'Israele per non essere puniti di morte.And you shal not sinne in this point, reseruing the principal and fatte thinges to your selues lest you pollute the oblations of the children of Israel, and die.Et non peccabitis super hoc, egregia vobis et pinguia reservantes, ne polluatis oblationes filiorum Israël, et moriamini.
