1

As dooyrt y Chiarn rish Aaron, Nee us. as dty vec, as thie dt'ayrey mayrt, gymmyrkey yn aggair vees jeant da'n ynnyd casherick: as nee uss as dty vec gansoor son peccaghyn y taggyrtys.

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

As dty vraaraghyn myrgeddin jeh tribe Levi, tribe dt'ayrey, cur uss lhiat mayrt, dy vod ad ve fo dty churrym, as shirveish ort: agh nee uss as dty vec mayrt, shirveish roish cabbane-casherick y chonaant.

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

As nee ad freayll yn currym ver uss orroo, as currym ooilley'n chabbane-agglish: agh cha jig ad er-gerrey da siyn y chabbane-casherick, as yn altar: nagh bee adsyn, ny shiuish myrgeddin er ny choyrt gy-baase.

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

As bee ad fo dty reill, as gowee ad currym y chabbane-agglish, cour ooilley shirveish y chabbane: as cha jig joarree er-gerrey diu,

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

As nee shiuish freayll currym y chabbane casherick, as currym yn altar; nagh duit jymmoose arragh er cloan Israel.

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

As mish, cur-my-ner, mish ta er ghoaill ny braaraghyn eu ny Leviteyn veih mastey cloan Israel: diuish t'ad er nyn goyrt myr gioot da'n Chiarn, dy yannoo shirveish y chabbane agglish.

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

Shen-y-fa, nee uss as dty vec mayrt, freayll oik y taggyrtys eu, ayns dagh nhee bentyn rish yn altar, as er cheu-sthie jeh'n choodagh, as shiuish nee shirveish: ta mish er choyrt diu oik y taggyrtys eu, myr shirveish dy yioot (arryltagh): as bee'n joarree, ta cheet er-gerrey, er ny choyrt gy-baase.

Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for everything 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

As loayr y Chiarn rish Aaron, Cur-my-ner, ta mee myrgeddin er chur dhyt's currym my hebbalyn-troggit-seose jeh ooilley nheeghyn casherick cloan Israel; dhyt's ta mee er choyrt ad, er-coontey yn ooilaghey casherick, as da dty vec liorish oardagh kinjagh.

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

Shoh vees lhiat's jeh'n chooid smoo casherick, jeh cre-erbee vees er-mayrn lurg yn oural-losht: ooilley ny chebballyn oc, ooilley nyn ourallyn-arran, as ooilley nyn ourallyn-peccah, as ooilley nyn ourallyn son aggair, nee ad geeck dooys, bee ad dy slane er nyn gasherickey da dty vec.

This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of their's, every meat offering of their's, and every sin offering of their's, and every trespass offering of their's which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

10

Ayns yn ynnyd smoo casherick nee oo baarail eh; nee dy chooilley ghooinney jiu gee eh: dhyt's vees eh er ny chasherickey.

In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

11

As ta shoh lhiat's: oural-troggit seose nyn yiootyn, marish ooilley ny ourallyn-criht-mygeayrt liorish cloan Israel; dhyt's ta mee er choyrt ad, as da dty vec, as da dty inneenyn mayrt, liorish slattys kinjagh: nee dy chooilley unnane, ta glen ayns dty lught-thie, goaill jeh.

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

Ooilley'n chooid share jeh'n ooil, as ooilley'n chooid share jeh'n feeyn, as jeh'n churnaght, ny chied-messyn jeu, nee ad chebbal gys y Chiarn, ad shen ta mee er choyrt dhyt.

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

As cre-erbee ta hoshiaght appee 'sy cheer, ver ad lhieu gys y Chiarn, bee eh lhiat's; nee dy chooilley unnane, ta glen ayns dty hie, gee jeh.

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

Lhiat's vees dy chooilley nhee t'er ny chasherickey, ayns Israel.

Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

15

Bee dy chooilley nhee lhiat's ta fosley'n vreïn jeh dy chooilley chretoor, t'ad cur lhieu gys y Chiarn, edyr eh ve jeh deiney ny maase: agh ny-yeih, yn chied lhiannoo-mac nee oo ayns shickyrys feaysley son sym d'argid, as son y chied-ruggit jeh cretoor erbee neu-ghlen nee oo sym y ghoaill.

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

As ad shen ta dy ve feayslit, veih mee d'eash, ver oo orroo geeck er nyn son, cordail rish dty phrice, son queig shekelyn dy argid, lurg shekel y chabbane-casherick, ta shen feed Gerah.

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

Agh shen ta hoshiaght-ruggit jeh booa, ny jeh keyrrey, ny jeh goayr, cha jean oo feaysley, son t'ad casherick: nee oo spreih yn uill oc er yn altar, as nee oo lostey yn eeh oc, son chebbal jeant lesh aile, son soar millish roish y Chiarn.

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

As bee'n eill oc lhiat's, myr ta'n breast-criht (ec yn altar) as y clingan yesh lhiat's.

And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

19

Ooilley ny chebballyn casherick troggit-seose ta cloan Israel chebbal da'n Chiarn, ta mee er choyrt dhyt's as da dty vec, as da dty inneenyn mayrt, liorish slattys kinjagh: te conaant dy hollan dy kinjagh, fenish y Chiarn, rhyt's as rish dty luight.

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

As loayr y Chiarn rish Aaron, Cha bee eiraght erbee ayd's 'sy cheer oc, chamoo vees ayrn erbee ayd ny-vud oc: mish dty hoghyr, as dty eiraght mastey cloan Israel.

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

As cur-my-ner, ta mee er choyrt da cloan Levi ooilley'n jeihoo ayrn ayns Israel, myr eiraght, son y chirveish t'ad jannoo, eer shirveish y chabbane-agglish.

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

Chamoo hig cloan Israel maghey shoh er-gerrey dy hirveish ayns y chabbane-agglish, nagh bee ad fo peccah baasoil.

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

23

Agh nee ny Leviteyn jannoo shirveish y chabbane-agglish, as nee ad gansoor son nyn gurrym: bee shoh slattys kinjagh trooid magh ny sheelogheyn eu, nagh bee eiraght erbee oc mastey cloan Israel.

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

Agh jagheenyn cloan Israel, t'ad chebbal myr oural-troggit-seose gys y Chiarn, ta mee er choyrt da ny Leviteyn son eiraght: shen y fa ta mee er ghra roo, Fud cloan Israel cha bee eiraght erbee oc.

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

As loayr y Chiarn rish Moses, gra,

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

26

Myr shoh loayr rish ny Leviteyn, as abbyr roo, Tra ta shiu goaill jeh cloan Israel ny jagheenyn, ta mee er choyrt diu voue, son yn eiraght eu, eisht nee shiu chebbal jeu oural-troggit-seose gys y Chiarn, eer yn jeihoo ayrn jeh'n jaghee.

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

As bee shoh nyn oural er ny choontey diu, myr dy beagh eh slane jaghee yn laare-vooie, as myr slane keesh y phress-feeyney.

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

Myr shoh neesht ver shiu lhieu oural-troggit-seose gys y Chiarn, jeh ooilley ny jagheenyn ta shiu geddyn veih cloan Israel: as jeu shoh ver shiu oural-troggit-seose gys y Chiarn da Aaron y saggyrt.

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

Ass ooilley ny giootyn eu nee shiu chebbal oural-troggit-seose y Chiarn, jeh ooilley'n chooid share jeu, ta shen, yn ayrn t'er ny chasherickey jeh.

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

Shen-y-fa nee oo gra roo, Tra ta shiu er droggal yn chooid share jeh ass, eisht bee eh er ny choontey da ny Leviteyn, myr bishagh yn laare-arroo, as myr bishagh yn phress feeyney.

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

As nee shiu baarail eh raad erbee dy nailliu, shiuish as nyn-lught-thie: son te leagh nyn shirveish ayns y chabbane-agglish.

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

As cha bee shiu fo peccah erbee, kyndagh rish, tra ta shiu er scarrey veih yn chooid share jeh: chamoo nee shiu ymmyd cadjin jeh chebballyn casherick cloan Israel, nagh bee shiu er nyn stroie.

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.
