Imisebenzi yenkonzo yamaLevi
1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni, wathi:
2Bala inani lamadodana kaKohati emadodaneni kaLevi, ngensendo zawo, ngezindlu zawoyise,
3kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu langaphezulu kusiya koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu, bonke abangena empini ukwenza umsebenzi ethenteni lenhlangano.
4Lena iyakuba yinkonzo yamadodana kaKohati etendeni lokuhlangana mayelana nezinto ezingcwelengcwele.
5Lapho ikamu lisuka, u-Aroni namadodana akhe kumelwe beze, bakhumule isembozo bamboze umphongolo wobufakazi ngaso.
6Ubeke phezu kwayo isigubungelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, wendlala phezu kwayo indwangu ebubende yodwa, ufake izinti zayo.
7Phezu kwetafula lesinkwa sokubukwa kumelwe bendlala indwangu ebubende babeke phezu kwalo izitsha nezinkezo nezitsha nezitsha zokubeka phezu kwazo; nesinkwa saphakade kumelwe sibe phezu kwayo.
8Bayakwendlala phezu kwayo indwangu ebomvu, bayimboze ngesigubungelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, bafake izinti zayo.
9Bayakuthatha indwangu ebubende bamboze uthi lwesibani lwesibani, nezibani zalo, nezindlawu zalo, nezitsha zalo, nezitsha zalo zamafutha abakhonza ngazo kulo.
10Bazakubeka kanye nazo zonke izinto zaso eyisibekelelo sezikhumba zamatahasi, bakubeke phezu kodondolo.
11Phezu kwe-altare legolide bayakwendlala indwangu ebubende balimboze ngesikhumba samatahasi, balinamathisele ezintini zalo.
12Kumelwe bathathe zonke izinto zokukhonza abakhonza ngazo endlini engcwele bazifake endwangwini ebubende bazimboze ngesembozo sezikhumba zamatahasi bazibeke odondolweni.
13Kumelwe basuse umlotha e-altare futhi bendlala indwangu ebubende phezu kwalo.
14Kumelwe babeke zonke izinto zakhe abakhonza ngazo phezu kwalo, imicengezi yomlilo, namakhona enyama namafosholo nezitsha, zonke izinto ze-altare; bayakwendlala phezu kwalo isembozo sezikhumba zamatahasi, balinamathisele ezintini zalo.
15Lapho u-Aroni namadodana akhe sebeqedile ukumboza indlu engcwele nazo zonke izinto zendlu engcwele lapho ikamu kumelwe lisuke; emva kwalokho amadodana kaKohati ayakufika ukulithwala; kodwa akumelwe bathinte lutho olungcwele, funa bafe. Lezi zinto zingumthwalo wamadodana kaKohati etendeni lokuhlangana.
16Esikhundleni sika-Eleyazare indodana ka-Aroni umpristi, amafutha othi lwesibani, nempepho yamakha, nomnikelo wokudla wansuku zonke, namafutha okugcoba, nokuqondisa kwetabernakele lonke, nakho konke okukulo ethempelini. Indawo engcwele nasezintweni zayo.
17UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni, wathi:
18Ungasinqumi isizwe semindeni yamaKohati phakathi kwamaLevi.
19Kodwa yenzani njalo kubo, ukuze baphile, bangafi, ekusondeleni kwabo ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele: uAroni lamadodana akhe bazangena, babamise, kube yilowo lalowo emsebenzini wakhe lomthwalo wakhe.
20Kodwa akumelwe bangene ukuze babone lapho izinto ezingcwele zisitshekelwe, funa bafe.
21UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
22bala amadodana kaGereshoni ngemindeni yawo ngezizukulwane zawo;
23kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amathathu kuya phezulu kuya kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amahlanu kumelwe uwabale; bonke abangena ukwenza inkonzo, ukwenza umsebenzi etendeni lokuhlangana.
24Lona ungumsebenzi wezizukulwane zamaGereshoni ukukhonza nokuthwala.
25Bayakuthwala izindwangu zetabernakele, netende lokuhlangana, nesembozo salo, nesembozo sezikhumba eziphezu kwalo, nesifulelo somnyango wetende lokuhlangana,
26nezilenge zegceke, nezilenge zomnyango wesango legceke elingasetabernakele nase-altare nxazonke, nezintambo zazo, nezinto zonke zenkonzo yabo, nakho konke okwakhelwe kona. Bona: kanjalo bayakukhonza.
27Ngokumisa kuka-Aroni namadodana akhe, yonke inkonzo yamadodana amaGereshoni iyakuba kuyo yonke imithwalo yawo nakuyo yonke inkonzo yawo;
28Lona ngumsebenzi wenkonzo ezizukulwaneni zamadodana kaGereshoni etendeni lokuhlangana; inkonzo yawo ingaphansi kwesandla sika-Itamari indodana ka-Aroni umpristi.
29Ngokuqondene namadodana kaMerari, kumelwe niwabale ngezizukulwane zawo ngemindeni yawo;
30kusukela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, kuya phezulu, kuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu ezelwe, wobabala bonke abangena enkonzweni ukwenza umsebenzi wetende lokuhlangana.
31Lena yinkonzo yomthwalo wabo ngokwenkonzo yabo yonke etendeni lokuhlangana; izinsika zetabernakele, nemishayo yalo, nezinsika zalo, nezinyawo zalo;
32nezinsika zegceke nxazonke, nezinyawo zazo, nezikhonkwane zazo, nezintambo zazo, nazo zonke izinto zazo, nawo wonke umsebenzi wazo wenkonzo;
33Lena yinkonzo yezizukulwane zamadodana kaMerari ngomsebenzi wawo wonke etendeni lokuhlangana ngaphansi kwesandla sika-Ithamari indodana ka-Aroni umpristi.
34OMose no-Aroni nezikhulu zenhlangano babala amadodana amaKohati ngemindeni yawo nangezindlu zawoyise;
35kusukela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, kuya phezulu, kuse kominyaka imashumi mahlanu ezelwe, bonke abeza inkonzo yomsebenzi etendeni lokuhlangana;
36labo ababalwayo ngemindeni yabo babe yizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi ayisihlanu.
37Laba babe ngababalwayo bensendo zamaKohati, bonke ababengakhonza ethenteni lenhlangano, uMozisi loAroni ababalayo ngesiyalezo sikaJehova ngenkonzo kaMozisi.
38Labo ababalwayo bamadodana kaGereshoni ngemindeni yawo nangezindlu zawoyise;
39kusukela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, kuya phezulu, kuze kufike kominyaka imashumi mahlanu ezelwe, bonke abangena enkonzweni yomsebenzi etendeni lokuhlangana,
40labo ababalwayo kubo ngemindeni yabo ngokwezindlu zoyise babe yizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu ayisithupha namashumi amathathu.
41Lezi ziyizibalo zemindeni yamadodana kaGereshoni, yabo bonke abakhonza etendeni lokuhlangana, ababala oMose no-Aroni njengesiyalezo sikaJehova.
42Labo ababalwayo bemindeni yamadodana kaMerari ngemindeni yabo nangemindeni yabo,
43kusukela kominyaka imashumi mathathu ezelwe, kuya phezulu, kuze kufike kominyaka imashumi mahlanu ezelwe, bonke abangena enkonzweni yomsebenzi etendeni lokuhlangana,
44labo ababalwayo ngemindeni yabo babe yizinkulungwane ezintathu namakhulu amabili.
45Lezi ziyizibalo zezizukulwane zamadodana kaMerari, uMose no-Aroni ababala njengezwi likaJehova ngomsebenzi kaMose.
46Bonke ababalwayo bamaLevi, uMose no-Aroni abababalayo, nezikhulu zakwa-Israyeli, ngemindeni yabo nangezindlu zawoyise,
47kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amathathu kuya phezulu, kuze kufike kwabaneminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu, bonke abeza ukwenza inkonzo yenkonzo nenkonzo yokuthwala etendeni lokuhlangana,
48labo ababalwayo babe yizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalombili namakhulu amahlanu namashumi ayisishiyagalombili.
49Ngokomyalo weNkosi basebebalwa ngesandla sikaMozisi, ngulowo lalowo ngomsebenzi wakhe lanjengomthwalo wakhe; babalwa kanye naye, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.
