“Wobani leqiniso ukuthi libeka eceleni lokhu okuyingxenye eyodwa yetshumi yesivuno somnyaka.
23 Muzidyera chakhumi cha tirigu wanu, vinyo wanu watsopano ndi mafuta, ndi ana oyamba kubadwa a ngʼombe zanu pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu pa malo amene adzasankhe ngati kokhalako dzina lake, kuti muphunzire kuopa Yehova Mulungu wanu.

Kodwa nxa leyondawo ikhatshana kakhulu lina libusisiwe nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njalo lingenelisi ukuthwala okwetshumi kwenu (ngenxa yokuthi lapho uThixo akhethe ukubeka khona iBizo lakhe kukhatshana kakhulu),
25 ndiye musinthitse chakhumi chanucho ndi siliva, ndipo mutenge silivayo ndi kupita naye kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe.

27 Alevi okhala mʼmizinda yanu musaleke kuwathandiza popeza alibe gawo lawo la chuma kapena cholowa chawochawo.
Njalo lingakhohlwa abaLevi abahlala emadolobheni enu, ngoba abalaso isabelo esingesabo njalo abaphiwanga ilifa.
28 Kumapeto kwa zaka zitatu zilizonse muzibweretsa zakhumi zonse pa zokolola za chaka chimenecho ndi kuzisunga mʼmidzi yanu,
Ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu, lethani okwetshumi kwesivuno salowomnyaka likugcine emadolobheni enu,
29 kuti Alevi (amene alibe gawo lawo la chuma kapena cholowa chawochawo), alendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye, amene akukhala mʼmizinda yanu akhoza kubwera kudzadya ndi kukhuta. Ndipo kuti akutero Yehova Mulungu wanu akudalitseni pa ntchito zanu zonse.
yikho kuzakuthi abaLevi (bona abangelasabelo loba ilifa elingelabo) kanye labezizweni, izintandane ezingelaboyise labafelokazi abahlala emadolobheni enu beze labo bazokudla basuthe, njalo kuze kuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alibusise kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zenu.”
