UNumeri 18 U-Aroni wena namadodana akho kanye nawe kumelwe nithwale ububi bobupristi benu

¹ INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Wena lamadodana akho lendlu kayihlo kanye lawe lizathwala ububi bendlu engcwele; wena namadodana akho kanye nawe niyakuthwala ububi bobupristi benu.

² Futhi nabafowenu esizweni sakwaLevi, isizwe sikayihlo, woza nawe kanye nabo, ukuze bazihlanganise nawe, bakukhonze; kodwa wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizakhonza phambi kwethabhanekele lobufakazi.

³ Bayakugcina inkonzo yenu nenkonzo yetabernakele lonke; kepha bangasondeli ezitsheni zendlu engcwele nase-altare, funa bafe, nani.

⁴ Kumelwe bahlangane nawe bagcine inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana kuwo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yetende; futhi umfokazi angeze eze kini.

⁵ Kumelwe nigcine inkonzo yendlu engcwele nenkonzo ye-altare, ukuze intukuthelo ingabe isaba phezu kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

⁶ Bhekani, ngibathathile abafowenu, amaLevi, phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; kini banikelwe njengesipho kuJehova, ukuba benze inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana.

⁷ Ngalokho wena namadodana akho kanye nawe niyakuba ngubupristi kukho konke okwase-altare nangaphakathi kwesihenqo; niyakukhonza; ngininikile ubupristi benu njengesipho; futhi umfokazi osondelayo kumelwe abulawe.

⁸ UJehova 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.

⁹ Iyakuba 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.

¹⁰ Niyakukudla eNgcwelengcwele; bonke owesilisa bayakuwudla; kufanele kube ngcwele kini.

¹¹ Futhi 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.

¹² Konke okuhle kwamafutha nakho konke okuhle kakhulu kwewayini nokolweni, ulibo lwalokho abayakunikela ngakho kuJehova, ngikunike kona.

¹³ Konke okuvuthwa kuqala ezweni abayakukuletha kuJehova kuyakuba ngokwakho; wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uyakudla kuwo.

¹⁴ Konke okungcwelisiwe kwa-Israyeli kuyakuba ngokwakho.

¹⁵ Konke okuvula isizalo kuyo yonke inyama abayiletha kuJehova, kubantu noma kweyezilwane, kuyakuba ngokwakho;

¹⁶ Abahlengwayo kusukela kwabanenyanga uyakuyihlenga ngokulinganisa kwakho imali yamashekeli ayisihlanu ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, amagera angamashumi amabili.

¹⁷ Kepha 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.

¹⁸ Inyama yawo iyakuba ngeyakho, njengesifuba sokunyakaziswa nanjengehlombe lakho lokunene.

¹⁹ Yonke 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.

²⁰ INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Kawuyikuba lelifa elizweni labo, njalo kawuyikuba lesabelo phakathi kwabo; mina ngiyisabelo sakho lelifa lakho phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

²¹ Bhekani, ngibanika abantwana bakwaLevi konke okweshumi kwa-Israyeli kube yifa lenkonzo yabo abayikhonzayo, inkonzo yetende lokuhlangana.

²² Abantwana bakoIsrayeli bangasondeli ethenteni lenhlangano kusukela khathesi, ukuze bangathwali isono, bafe.

²³ Kodwa amaLevi kumelwe enze umsebenzi wenkonzo yetende lokuhlangana, futhi kumelwe athwale ububi bawo; kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu, ukuze zingabi nafa phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

²⁴ Kepha okweshumi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abakulethayo kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova, ngakunika amaLevi njengefa; ngalokho ngathi kubo: “Phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abayikuba nafa.

²⁵ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

²⁶ Yisho kumaLevi, uthi kuwo: ‘Uma nithatha kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli okweshumi engininike khona kubo njengefa lenu, niyakuletha kukho umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova, okweshumi kokweshumi.

²⁷ Lo mnikelo wenu kumelwe ubalelwe kini njengokungathi ukolweni wasesibuyani nanjengokugcwala kwesikhamo sewayini.

²⁸ Ngalokho niyakuletha umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova kukho konke okweshumi kwenu enikwamukela kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli; futhi kumelwe unike u-Aroni umpristi umnikelo kaJehova.

²⁹ Kuzo zonke izipho zenu nilethe yonke iminikelo yokuphakanyiswa yeNkosi, kukho konke okuhle kakhulu kwayo, okungcwele kwayo.

³⁰ Ngakho kumelwe uthi kubo: ‘Uma nithathe okuhle kunakho konke, kumelwe kubalelwe kumaLevi njengesivuno sesibuya nanjengesivuno sesikhamo sewayini.

³¹ Niyakukudlela ezindaweni zonke, nina nezindlu zenu, ngokuba lokhu kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu etendeni lokuhlangana.

³² Futhi aniyikuthwala isono ngalokho, uma nisusa okuhle kukho; aniyikuhlambalaza izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, funa nife.
