Izithasiselo zemithetho yeminikelo yecala neyeminikelo yokuthula
1“ ‘Nanku umthetho weminikelo yecala; ingcwelengcwele. 2Endaweni abahlabela kuyo umnikelo wokushiswa, bayakuwuhlabela khona umnikelo wecala, kufafazwe i-altare nxazonke ngegazi lawo. 3Uyakunikela ngawo onke amanoni awo, umsila ononileyo namanoni asibekela izibilini, 4nezinso zombili namanoni akuzo angasezinkalweni, namanoni aphezu kwesibindi, ewasusa ngasezinsweni, 5umprisiti akushise e-altare kube ngumnikelo womlilo kuJehova; kungumnikelo wecala. 6Bonke abesilisa phakathi kwabapristi bayakuwudla, udliwe endaweni engcwele; ungcwelengcwele.
7“ ‘Umnikelo wecala unjengomnikelo wesono; umthetho wawo munye; umpristi owenza ukubuyisana ngawo woba ngowakhe. 8Umpristi onikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa womuntu, isikhumba somnikelo wokushiswa anikele ngawo siyakuba ngesompristi. 9Yonke iminikelo yempuphu ephekwe eziko, nayo yonke elungiselwa okhambeni nasemqengeleni, iyakuba ngeyalo mpristi anikele ngayo. 10Yonke iminikelo yempuphu exovwe namafutha neyomileyo iyakuba ngeyamadodana onke ka-Aroni, enye ithole njengenye.
11 “ ‘Nanku umthetho womhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula okuyakunikelwa ngayo kuJehova.
12“ ‘Uma enikela ngawo ube ngumnikelo wokubonga, uyakunikela kanye nomhlatshelo wokubonga ngamaqebelengwane angenamvubelo exovwe namafutha, nemiqathane engenamvubelo, egcotshwe ngamafutha, namaqebelengwane empuphu ecolekileyo axovwe namafutha. 13Kanye namaqebelengwane esinkwa esivutshelweyo uyakunikela ngalo mnikelo kanye nomhlatshelo weminikelo yakhe yokuthula, ube ngowokubonga. 14Athabathe kuwo libe linye njalo eminikelweni yakhe, libe ngumnikelo ophakanyiswayo kuJehova, libe ngelompristi ofafaza ngegazi leminikelo yokuthula. 15Inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yakhe yokuthula ongowokubonga iyakudliwa ngosuku lokunikela kwakhe, angashiyi lutho lwayo kuze kuse.
16“ ‘Kepha uma umhlatshelo womnikelo wakhe ungowesithembiso noma ungowesihle, uyakudliwa ngalolo suku anikela ngalo ngomhlatshelo wakhe; nangakusasa okuseleyo kuwo kuyakudliwa; 17kepha okusele enyameni yomhlatshelo ngosuku lwesithathu kuyakushiswa ngomlilo. 18Uma inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yakhe yokuthula idliwa ngosuku lwesithathu, ayiyikwamukeleka, ingabalelwa kuye owanikela ngayo; iyakunengeka, nomuntu oyidlayo uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.
19“ ‘Inyama ethinta into engcolileyo ayinakudliwa, kepha iyakushiswa ngomlilo; nokho le nyama-ke bonke abahlambulukileyo bangayidla. 20Kodwa umuntu oyidla inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula engekaJehova esenakho ukungcola kwakhe, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo. 21 Nanxa umuntu ethinta into engcolileyo, ukungcola komuntu noma isilwane esingcolileyo noma into engcolileyo enengekayo, adle inyama yomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula engekaJehova, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.’ ”
22Jehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 23 “Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Aniyikudla manoni enkomo, nawemvu, nawembuzi. 24 Amanoni engcuba namanoni okudweshuliweyo angasebenza yonke eminye imisebenzi; kepha ningawadli nempela. 25Ngokuba yilowo nalowo odla amanoni enkomo okunikelwa ngayo ibe ngumnikelo womlilo kuJehova, lowo muntu owadlayo uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo. 26 Ningadli naliphi igazi, noma ngelenyoni noma ngelenkomo, nakuyiphi yezindlu zenu. 27Yilowo nalowo odla igazi lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.’ ”
28UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 29“Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Onikela ngomhlatshelo weminikelo yakhe yokuthula kuJehova uyakuletha umnikelo wakhe kuJehova emhlatshelweni weminikelo yakhe yokuthula; 30izandla zakhe uqobo zilethe iminikelo yomlilo kaJehova, alethe amanoni kanye nesifuba ukuba isifuba sizuliswe, sibe ngumnikelo wokuzuliswa phambi kukaJehova. 31Umpristi makashise amanoni e-altare, kepha isifuba sibe ngesika-Aroni nesamadodana akhe. 32Anonika umpristi umlenze wokunene, ube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa emihlatshelweni yeminikelo yenu yokuthula. 33Lowo phakathi kwamadodana ka-Aroni onikela ngegazi leminikelo yokuthula nangamanoni koba ngowakhe umlenze wokunene, ube yisabelo sakhe. 34Ngokuba isifuba sokuzuliswa nomlenze wokuphakanyiswa ngikuthabathe kwabakwa-Israyeli emihlatshelweni yeminikelo yabo yokuthula, ngakunika u-Aroni umpristi namadodana akhe, kube yisimiso esiphakade kwabakwa-Israyeli.’ ”
35Leso siyisabelo sika-Aroni nesabelo samadodana akhe seminikelo yomlilo kaJehova mhla ebaletha ukuba bamkhonze uJehova esikhundleni sobupristi, 36ayala ngakho uJehova ukuba bakuphiwe ngabantwana bakwa-Israyeli mhla ebagcoba, kube yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zabo.
37Lowo ungumthetho weminikelo yokushiswa, noweminikelo yempuphu, noweminikelo yesono, noweminikelo yecala, nowokwahlukaniselwa, nowomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, 38uJehova amyala ngawo uMose entabeni yaseSinayi mhla eyala abakwa-Israyeli ukuba banikele ngeminikelo yabo kuJehova ehlane laseSinayi.
