Numbers 18

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 The LORD said to Aaron, "You and your sons as well as the other members of your ancestral house shall be responsible for the sanctuary; but the responsibility of the priesthood shall rest on you and your sons alone.	1 και ειπεν κυριος προς ααρων λεγων συ και οι υιοι σου και ο οικος πατριας σου λημψεσθε τας αμαρτιας των αγιων και συ και οι υιοι σου λημψεσθε τας αμαρτιας της ιερατειας υμων
2 Bring with you also your other kinsmen of the tribe of Levi, your ancestral tribe, as your associates and assistants, while you and your sons are in front of the tent of the commandments.	2 και τους αδελφους σου φυλην λευι δημον του πατρος σου προσαγαγου προς σεαυτον και προστεθητωσαν σοι και λειτουργειτωσαν σοι και συ και οι υιοι σου μετα σου απεναντι της σκηνης του μαρτυριου
3 They shall look after your persons and the whole tent; however, they shall not come near the sacred vessels or the altar, lest both they and you die.	3 και φυλαξονται τας φυλακας σου και τας φυλακας της σκηνης πλην προς τα σκευη τα αγια και προς το θυσιαστηριον ου προσελευσονται και ουκ αποθανουνται και ουτοι και υμεις
4 As your associates they shall have charge of all the work connected with the meeting tent. But no layman shall come near you.	4 και προστεθησονται προς σε και φυλαξονται τας φυλακας της σκηνης του μαρτυριου κατα πασας τας λειτουργιας της σκηνης και ο αλλογενης ου προσελευσεται προς σε
5 You shall have charge of the sanctuary and of the altar, that wrath may not fall again upon the Israelites.	5 και φυλαξεσθε τας φυλακας των αγιων και τας φυλακας του θυσιαστηριου και ουκ εσται θυμος εν τοις υιοις ισραηλ
6 "Remember, it is I who have taken your kinsmen, the Levites, from the body of the Israelites; they are a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD for the service of the meeting tent.	6 και εγω ειληφα τους αδελφους υμων τους λευιτας εκ μεσου των υιων ισραηλ δομα δεδομενον κυριω λειτουργειν τας λειτουργιας της σκηνης του μαρτυριου
7 But only you and your sons are to have charge of performing the priestly functions in whatever concerns the altar and the room within the veil. I give you the priesthood as a gift. Any layman who draws near shall be put to death."	7 και συ και οι υιοι σου μετα σου διατηρησετε την ιερατειαν υμων κατα παντα τροπον του θυσιαστηριου και το ενδοθεν του καταπετασματος και λειτουργησετε τας λειτουργιας δομα της ιερατειας υμων και ο αλλογενης ο προσπορευομενος αποθανειται
8 The LORD said to Aaron, "I myself have given you charge of the contributions made to me in the various sacred offerings of the Israelites; by perpetual ordinance I have assigned them to you and to your sons as your priestly share.	8 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς ααρων και εγω ιδου δεδωκα υμιν την διατηρησιν των απαρχων απο παντων των ηγιασμενων μοι παρα των υιων ισραηλ σοι δεδωκα αυτα εις γερας και τοις υιοις σου μετα σε νομιμον αιωνιον
9 You shall have the right to share in the oblations that are most sacred, in whatever they offer me as cereal offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings; these shares shall accrue to you and to your sons.	9 και τουτο εστω υμιν απο των ηγιασμενων αγιων των καρπωματων απο παντων των δωρων αυτων και απο παντων των θυσιασματων αυτων και απο πασης πλημμελειας αυτων και απο πασων των αμαρτιων οσα αποδιδοασιν μοι απο παντων των αγιων σοι εσται και τοις υιοις σου
10 In eating them you shall treat them as most sacred; every male among you may partake of them. As sacred, they belong to you.	10 εν τω αγιω των αγιων φαγεσθε αυτα παν αρσενικον φαγεται αυτα συ και οι υιοι σου αγια εσται σοι
11 "You shall also have what is removed from the gift in every wave offering of the Israelites; by perpetual ordinance I have assigned it to you and to your sons and daughters. All in your family who are clean may partake of it.	11 και τουτο εσται υμιν απαρχη δοματων αυτων απο παντων των επιθεματων των υιων ισραηλ σοι δεδωκα αυτα και τοις υιοις σου και ταις θυγατρασιν σου μετα σου νομιμον αιωνιον πας καθαρος εν τω οικω σου εδεται αυτα
12 I have also assigned to you all the best of the new oil and of the new wine and grain that they give to the LORD as their first fruits;	12 πασα απαρχη ελαιου και πασα απαρχη οινου και σιτου απαρχη αυτων οσα αν δωσι τω κυριω σοι δεδωκα αυτα
13 and likewise, of whatever grows on their land, the first products that they bring in to the LORD shall be yours; all of your family who are clean may partake of them.	13 τα πρωτογενηματα παντα οσα εν τη γη αυτων οσα αν ενεγκωσιν κυριω σοι εσται πας καθαρος εν τω οικω σου εδεται αυτα
14 Whatever is doomed in Israel shall be yours.	14 παν ανατεθεματισμενον εν υιοις ισραηλ σοι εσται
15 Every living thing that opens the womb, whether of man or of beast, such as are to be offered to the LORD, shall be yours; but you must let the first-born of man, as well as of unclean animals, be redeemed.	15 και παν διανοιγον μητραν απο πασης σαρκος α προσφερουσιν κυριω απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους σοι εσται αλλ' η λυτροις λυτρωθησεται τα πρωτοτοκα των ανθρωπων και τα πρωτοτοκα των κτηνων των ακαθαρτων λυτρωση
16 The ransom for a boy is to be paid when he is a month old; it is fixed at five silver shekels according to the sanctuary standard, twenty gerahs to the shekel.	16 και η λυτρωσις αυτου απο μηνιαιου η συντιμησις πεντε σικλων κατα τον σικλον τον αγιον εικοσι οβολοι εισιν
17 But the first-born of cattle, sheep or goats shall not be redeemed; they are sacred. Their blood you must splash on the altar and their fat you must burn as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.	17 πλην πρωτοτοκα μοσχων και πρωτοτοκα προβατων και πρωτοτοκα αιγων ου λυτρωση αγια εστιν και το αιμα αυτων προσχεεις προς το θυσιαστηριον και το στεαρ ανοισεις καρπωμα εις οσμην ευωδιας κυριω
18 Their meat, however, shall be yours, just as the breast and the right leg of the wave offering belong to you.	18 και τα κρεα εσται σοι καθα και το στηθυνιον του επιθεματος και κατα τον βραχιονα τον δεξιον σοι εσται
19 By perpetual ordinance I have assigned to you and to your sons and daughters all the contributions from the sacred gifts which the Israelites make to the LORD; this is an inviolable covenant to last forever before the LORD, for you and for your descendants."	19 παν αφαιρεμα των αγιων οσα αν αφελωσιν οι υιοι ισραηλ κυριω σοι δεδωκα και τοις υιοις σου και ταις θυγατρασιν σου μετα σου νομιμον αιωνιον διαθηκη αλος αιωνιου εστιν εναντι κυριου σοι και τω σπερματι σου μετα σε
20 Then the LORD said to Aaron, "You shall not have any heritage in the land of the Israelites nor hold any portion among them; I will be your portion and your heritage among them.	20 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς ααρων εν τη γη αυτων ου κληρονομησεις και μερις ουκ εσται σοι εν αυτοις οτι εγω μερις σου και κληρονομια σου εν μεσω των υιων ισραηλ
21 "To the Levites, however, I hereby assign all tithes in Israel as their heritage in recompense for the service they perform in the meeting tent.	21 και τοις υιοις λευι ιδου δεδωκα παν επιδεκατον εν ισραηλ εν κληρω αντι των λειτουργιων αυτων οσα αυτοι λειτουργουσιν λειτουργιαν εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου
22 The Israelites may no longer approach the meeting tent; else they will incur guilt deserving death.	22 και ου προσελευσονται ετι οι υιοι ισραηλ εις την σκηνην του μαρτυριου λαβειν αμαρτιαν θανατηφορον
23 Only the Levites are to perform the service of the meeting tent, and they alone shall be held responsible; this is a perpetual ordinance for all your generations. The Levites, therefore, shall not have any heritage among the Israelites,	23 και λειτουργησει ο λευιτης αυτος την λειτουργιαν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου και αυτοι λημψονται τα αμαρτηματα αυτων νομιμον αιωνιον εις τας γενεας αυτων και εν μεσω υιων ισραηλ ου κληρονομησουσιν κληρονομιαν
24 for I have assigned to them as their heritage the tithes which the Israelites give as a contribution to the LORD. That is why I have ordered that they are not to have any heritage among the Israelites."	24 οτι τα επιδεκατα των υιων ισραηλ οσα αν αφορισωσιν κυριω αφαιρεμα δεδωκα τοις λευιταις εν κληρω δια τουτο ειρηκα αυτοις εν μεσω υιων ισραηλ ου κληρονομησουσιν κληρον
25 The LORD said to Moses,	25 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
26 "Give the Levites these instructions: When you receive from the Israelites the tithes I have assigned you from them as your heritage, you are to make a contribution from them to the LORD, a tithe of the tithes;	26 και τοις λευιταις λαλησεις και ερεις προς αυτους εαν λαβητε παρα των υιων ισραηλ το επιδεκατον ο δεδωκα υμιν παρ' αυτων εν κληρω και αφελειτε υμεις απ' αυτου αφαιρεμα κυριω επιδεκατον απο του επιδεκατου
27 and your contribution will be credited to you as if it were grain from the threshing floor or new wine from the press.	27 και λογισθησεται υμιν τα αφαιρεματα υμων ως σιτος απο αλω και αφαιρεμα απο ληνου
28 Thus you too shall make a contribution from all the tithes you receive from the Israelites, handing over to Aaron the priest the part to be contributed to the LORD.	28 ουτως αφελειτε και υμεις απο των αφαιρεματων κυριου απο παντων επιδεκατων υμων οσα εαν λαβητε παρα των υιων ισραηλ και δωσετε απ' αυτων αφαιρεμα κυριω ααρων τω ιερει
29 From all the gifts that you receive, and from the best parts, you are to consecrate to the LORD your own full contribution.	29 απο παντων των δοματων υμων αφελειτε αφαιρεμα κυριω η απο παντων των απαρχων το ηγιασμενον απ' αυτου
30 "Tell them also: Once you have made your contribution from the best part, the rest of the tithes will be credited to you Levites as if it were produce of the threshing floor or of the winepress.	30 και ερεις προς αυτους οταν αφαιρητε την απαρχην απ' αυτου και λογισθησεται τοις λευιταις ως γενημα απο αλω και ως γενημα απο ληνου
31 Your families, as well as you, may eat them anywhere, since they are your recompense for service at the meeting tent.	31 και εδεσθε αυτο εν παντι τοπω υμεις και οι οικοι υμων οτι μισθος ουτος υμιν εστιν αντι των λειτουργιων υμων των εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου
32 You will incur no guilt so long as you make a contribution of the best part. Do not profane the sacred gifts of the Israelites and so bring death on yourselves."	32 και ου λημψεσθε δι' αυτο αμαρτιαν οτι αν αφαιρητε την απαρχην απ' αυτου και τα αγια των υιων ισραηλ ου βεβηλωσετε ινα μη αποθανητε
