UNumeri 3 UJehova uyala ukuthi abantwana bakwaLevi mababale

¹ Lezi ziyizizukulwane zika-Aroni noMose ngosuku uJehova akhuluma ngalo kuMose entabeni yaseSinayi.

² Lawa angamagama amadodana ka-Aroni; uNadabi izibulo, no-Abihu, no-Eleyazare, no-Itamari.

³ Lawa angamagama amadodana ka-Aroni, abapristi abagcotshiweyo, abamise ukuba bakhonze esikhundleni sobupristi.

⁴ ONadabi no-Abihu bafa phambi kukaJehova ekuletheni umlilo ongafanele phambi kukaJehova ehlane laseSinayi, bengenabantwana; u-Eleyazare no-Itamari bakhonza ebupristini phambi kwamehlo kayise u-Aroni.

⁵ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

⁶ Sondeza isizwe sakwaLevi, usimise phambi kuka-Aroni umpristi ukuba simkhonze.

⁷ Bayakugcina inkonzo yayo nenkonzo yebandla lonke phambi kwetende lokuhlangana, benze inkonzo yetende.

⁸ Kumelwe bagcine zonke izinto zetende lokuhlangana nenkonzo yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuze benze umsebenzi wenkonzo yetende.

⁹ AmaLevi uyakuwanika u-Aroni namadodana akhe; baphiwa kuye besuka phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

¹⁰ Kumelwe umise u-Aroni namadodana akhe, futhi kumelwe balinde esikhundleni sabo sobupristi; futhi umfokazi osondelayo kumelwe abulawe.

¹¹ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

¹² Mina-ke, bheka, ngawathatha amaLevi phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli esikhundleni samazibulo onke avula isizalo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; ngalokho amaLevi ayakuba ngawami;

¹³ Ngoba wonke amazibulo angawami; ngokuba mhla ngibulala amazibulo onke ezweni laseGibithe, ngazingcwelisela kimi onke amazibulo akwa-Israyeli, abantu nawezilwane; bayakuba ngabami; nginguJehova.

¹⁴ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose ehlane laseSinayi, wathi:

¹⁵ Bala abantwana bakwaLevi ngemindeni yabo ngezizukulwane zabo: bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu uyakubabala.

¹⁶ UMose wababala njengezwi likaJehova, njengalokho eyaliwe.

¹⁷ Lawa angamadodana kaLevi ngamagama awo; uGereshoni noKohati noMerari.

¹⁸ Lawa angamagama amadodana kaGereshoni ngemindeni yawo; uLibni noShimeyi.

¹⁹ Amadodana kaKohati ngemindeni yawo; u-Amramu no-Ishehari, uHebroni no-Uziyeli.

²⁰ Amadodana kaMerari ngemindeni yawo; UMahli noMusi. Lezi ziyizizukulwane zamaLevi ngemindeni yawo.

²¹ KwaGereshoni kwavela umndeni wakwaLibini nomndeni wakwaSimi; lezi ziyizizukulwane zamaGereshoni.

²² Labo ababalwayo ngenani labo bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, ababalwayo kubo babe yizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa namakhulu amahlanu.

²³ Imindeni yamaGereshoni kumelwe ikanise ngemva kwetabernakele ngasentshonalanga.

²⁴ Isikhulu sendlu kayise wamaGereshoni siyakuba ngu-Eliyasafa indodana kaLayeli.

²⁵ Inkonzo yamadodana kaGereshoni etendeni lokuhlangana iyakuba yitabernakele netende, nesembozo salo, neveli lomnyango wetende lokuhlangana;

²⁶ nezilenge zegceke, nesilenge somnyango wegceke elingasetabernakele nase-altare nxazonke, nezintambo zalo zomsebenzi wonke walo.

²⁷ KwaKohati kwavela umndeni wakwa-Amramu nomndeni wama-Ishari nomndeni wakwaHebroni nomndeni wakwa-Uzili; lezi ziyizizukulwane zamaKohati.

²⁸ Ngokwenani labo bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu babe yizinkulungwane eziyisishiyagalombili namakhulu ayisithupha ababegcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

²⁹ Imindeni yamadodana kaKohati iyakumisa eceleni kwetabernakele ngaseningizimu.

³⁰ Isikhulu sendlu kayise wemindeni yamaKohati siyakuba ngu-Elishafani indodana ka-Uziyeli.

³¹ Inkonzo yabo iyakuba ngumphongolo, netafula, nothi lwesibani, nama-altare, nezinto zendlu engcwele abakhonza ngazo, neveli, nayo yonke inkonzo yalo.

³² U-Eleyazare, indodana ka-Aroni umpristi, kumelwe abe induna yezikhulu zamaLevi, aqondise labo abagcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele.

³³ KwaMerari kwavela umndeni wakwaMagili nomndeni wamaMushi; lezi ziyizizukulwane zikaMerari.

³⁴ Labo ababalwayo ngenani labo bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu babe yizinkulungwane eziyisithupha namakhulu amabili.

³⁵ Isikhulu sendlu kayise wemindeni yakwaMerari sasinguSuriyeli indodana ka-Abihayili; kumelwe bakanise ohlangothini lwetabernakele, olubheke enyakatho.

³⁶ Ngaphansi kwesandla sokuqondisa nokuqondisa kwamadodana kaMerari kuyakuba khona izinsika zetabernakele, nemishayo yalo, nezinsika zalo, nezisekelo zalo, nazo zonke izinto zalo, nakho konke okukhonza kulo;

³⁷ nezinsika zegceke nxazonke, nezinyawo zazo, nezikhonkwane zazo, nezintambo zazo.

³⁸ Abamisa phambi kwetabernakele ngasempumalanga phambi kwetende lokuhlangana ngasempumalanga, bayakuba ngoMose no-Aroni namadodana akhe abagcina inkonzo yendlu engcwele enkonzweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; futhi umfokazi osondelayo kumelwe abulawe.

³⁹ Bonke ababalwayo bamaLevi uMose no-Aroni abababalayo ngokomyalo weNkosi ngezizukulwane zabo, bonke abesilisa kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu babe yizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili.

⁴⁰ UJehova wathi kuMose: “Bala onke amazibulo abantwana babantwana bakwa-Israyeli kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, uthabathe inani lamagama abo.

⁴¹ Kumelwe ungithathele amaLevi, nginguJehova, esikhundleni samazibulo onke phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; nezinkomo zamaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke ezinkomo zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

⁴² UMose wabala onke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, njengalokho uJehova emyalile.

⁴³ Onke amazibulo esilisa ngenani lamagama, kusukela kwabanenyanga kuya phezulu, ababalwayo kubo, ayeyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nambili namakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha nantathu.

⁴⁴ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

⁴⁵ Thatha amaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nezinkomo zamaLevi esikhundleni sezinkomo zabo; amaLevi ayakuba ngawami. Mina nginguJehova.

⁴⁶ Abazahlengwa kumazibulo angamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisithupha nantathu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abangaphezu kwamaLevi;

⁴⁷ Kumelwe uthathe amashekeli amahlanu isigxobo ngasinye, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele kumelwe uyithathe; (ishekeli lingamagera angamashumi amabili:)

⁴⁸ Kumelwe uyinike u-Aroni namadodana akhe imali okufanele isibalo sabo esingavamile sihlengwe ngayo.

⁴⁹ UMose wathatha imali yesihlengo kulabo ababengaphezu kwabahlengwe ngamaLevi.

⁵⁰ Wayithatha imali kumazibulo abantwana bakwa-Israyeli; amashekeli ayinkulungwane namakhulu amathathu namashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele;

⁵¹ UMose wayinika u-Aroni namadodana akhe imali yesihlengo njengezwi likaJehova, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.
