U-Aroni wena namadodana akho kanye nawe kumelwe nithwale ububi bobupristi benu
1INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Wena lamadodana akho lendlu kayihlo kanye lawe lizathwala ububi bendlu engcwele; wena namadodana akho kanye nawe niyakuthwala ububi bobupristi benu.
2Futhi nabafowenu esizweni sakwaLevi, isizwe sikayihlo, woza nawe kanye nabo, ukuze bazihlanganise nawe, bakukhonze; kodwa wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizakhonza phambi kwethabhanekele lobufakazi.
3Bayakugcina inkonzo yenu nenkonzo yetabernakele lonke; kepha bangasondeli ezitsheni zendlu engcwele nase-altare, funa bafe, nani.
4Kumelwe bahlangane nawe bagcine inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana kuwo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yetende; futhi umfokazi angeze eze kini.
5Kumelwe nigcine inkonzo yendlu engcwele nenkonzo ye-altare, ukuze intukuthelo ingabe isaba phezu kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
6Bhekani, ngibathathile abafowenu, amaLevi, phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; kini banikelwe njengesipho kuJehova, ukuba benze inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana.
7Ngalokho wena namadodana akho kanye nawe niyakuba ngubupristi kukho konke okwase-altare nangaphakathi kwesihenqo; niyakukhonza; ngininikile ubupristi benu njengesipho; futhi umfokazi osondelayo kumelwe abulawe.
8UJehova wakhuluma ku-Aroni, wathi: “Bheka, mina ngikunike umsebenzi weminikelo yami yokuphakanyiswa yazo zonke izipho ezingcwele zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; ngikunikile wona ngenxa yokugcotshwa kwakho namadodana akho njengesimiso esiphakade.
9Iyakuba ngeyakho ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele ezigcinwe emlilweni: yonke iminikelo yabo yokudla, nayo yonke iminikelo yabo yokudla, nayo yonke iminikelo yabo yesono, nayo yonke iminikelo yabo yecala abayakunginika yona, iyakuba phezulu. Ngcwele kuwe nakumadodana akho.
10Niyakukudla eNgcwelengcwele; bonke owesilisa bayakuwudla; kufanele kube ngcwele kini.
11Futhi ingeyakho; umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesipho sabo kanye nayo yonke iminikelo yokuzuliswa yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; ngiyakunika wena namadodana akho namadodakazi akho kanye nawe njengesimiso esiphakade: bonke abahlambulukileyo endlini yakho bayakudla kukho.
12Konke okuhle kwamafutha nakho konke okuhle kakhulu kwewayini nokolweni, ulibo lwalokho abayakunikela ngakho kuJehova, ngikunike kona.
13Konke okuvuthwa kuqala ezweni abayakukuletha kuJehova kuyakuba ngokwakho; wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uyakudla kuwo.
14Konke okungcwelisiwe kwa-Israyeli kuyakuba ngokwakho.
15Konke okuvula isizalo kuyo yonke inyama abayiletha kuJehova, kubantu noma kweyezilwane, kuyakuba ngokwakho;
16Abahlengwayo kusukela kwabanenyanga uyakuyihlenga ngokulinganisa kwakho imali yamashekeli ayisihlanu ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, amagera angamashumi amabili.
17Kepha izibulo lenkomo noma izibulo lemvu noma izibulo lembuzi awuyikulihlenga; bangcwele; ufafaze igazi lazo e-altare, ushise amanoni azo, abe ngumnikelo womlilo, ube yiphunga elimnandi kuJehova.
18Inyama yawo iyakuba ngeyakho, njengesifuba sokunyakaziswa nanjengehlombe lakho lokunene.
19Yonke iminikelo yokuphakanyiswa yezipho ezingcwele abantwana bakoIsrayeli abayiletha eNkosini, ngiyinikile wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho kanye lawe, ibe yisimiso esilaphakade; iyisivumelwano sikatshwayi kuze kube nininini phambi kobuso beNkosi. Nkosi. Ngawe nenzalo yakho kanye nawe.
20INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Kawuyikuba lelifa elizweni labo, njalo kawuyikuba lesabelo phakathi kwabo; mina ngiyisabelo sakho lelifa lakho phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
21Bhekani, ngibanika abantwana bakwaLevi konke okweshumi kwa-Israyeli kube yifa lenkonzo yabo abayikhonzayo, inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana.
22Abantwana bakoIsrayeli bangasondeli ethenteni lenhlangano kusukela khathesi, ukuze bangathwali isono, bafe.
23Kodwa amaLevi kumelwe enze umsebenzi wenkonzo yetende lokuhlangana, futhi kumelwe athwale ububi bawo; kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu, ukuze zingabi nafa phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
24Kepha okweshumi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abakulethayo kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova, ngakunika amaLevi njengefa; ngalokho ngathi kubo: “Phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abayikuba nafa.
25UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
26Yisho kumaLevi, uthi kuwo: ‘Uma nithatha kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli okweshumi engininike khona kubo njengefa lenu, niyakuletha kukho umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova, okweshumi kokweshumi.
27Lo mnikelo wenu kumelwe ubalelwe kini njengokungathi ukolweni wasesibuyani nanjengokugcwala kwesikhamo sewayini.
28Ngalokho niyakuletha umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova kukho konke okweshumi kwenu enikwamukela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli; futhi kumelwe unike u-Aroni umpristi umnikelo kaJehova.
29Kuzo zonke izipho zenu nilethe yonke iminikelo yokuphakanyiswa yeNkosi, kukho konke okuhle kakhulu kwayo, okungcwele kwayo.
30Ngakho kumelwe uthi kubo: ‘Uma nithathe okuhle kunakho konke, kumelwe kubalelwe kumaLevi njengesivuno sesibuya nanjengesivuno sesikhamo sewayini.
31Niyakukudlela ezindaweni zonke, nina nezindlu zenu, ngokuba lokhu kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu etendeni lokuhlangana.
32Futhi aniyikuthwala isono ngalokho, uma nisusa okuhle kukho; aniyikuhlambalaza izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, funa nife.
