1 Pambuyo pake munthuyo anapita nane ku chipinda choyangʼana kummawa,
Emva kwalokho umuntu lowo wangisa esangweni elikhangele empumalanga,
2 ndipo ndinaona ulemerero wa Mulungu wa Israeli ukubwera kuchokera kummawa. Liwu lake linali ngati mkokomo wamadzi, ndipo dziko linawala ndi ulemerero wake.
ngabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli isiza ivela empumalanga. Ilizwi lakhe lalinjengokuhamba kwamanzi ageleza ngesiqubu esikhulu, lelizwe laselikhazimula ngenkazimulo yakhe.
3 Masomphenya amene ndinawaonawa anali ngati masomphenya amene ndinawaona pamene Yehova anabwera kudzawononga mzinda ndiponso ngati masomphenya amene ndinawaona ku mtsinje wa Kebara. Ndipo ndinadzigwetsa chafufumimba.
Umbono engawubonayo wawunjengombono engangiwubone lapho wayezediliza idolobho njalo wawunjengombono engangiwubone ngasemfuleni iKhebhari, ngathi mbo phansi ngobuso.
4 Ulemerero wa Yehova unalowa mʼNyumba ya Mulungu kudzera pa chipata choyangʼana kummawa.
Inkazimulo kaThixo yangena ethempelini ngesango elikhangele empumalanga.
5 Tsono Mzimu unandinyamula nundilowetsa mʼbwalo lamʼkati, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza Nyumba ya Mulungu.
UMoya wangiphakamisa wangisa egumeni langaphakathi, njalo inkazimulo kaThixo yagcwala ethempelini.
6 Munthuyo ali chiyimire pambali panga, ndinamva wina akundiyankhula kuchokera mʼNyumba ya Mulungu.
Kwathi umuntu lowo emi phansi kwami, ngezwa omunye engikhulumisa engaphakathi kwethempeli.
7 Iye anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, awa ndi malo a mpando wanga waufumu, ndi malo opondapo mapazi anga. Pano ndiye pamene ndidzakhala pakati pa Aisraeli mpaka muyaya. Aisraeliwa kapena mafumu awo sadzayipitsa dzina langa popembedza milungu ina kapena poyika mitembo ya mafumu awo ku zitunda zachipembedzo.
Wathi, “Ndodana yomuntu, le yindawo yesihlalo sami sobukhosi lendawo yokunyathela ngezinyawo zami. Lapha yikho engizahlala khona phakathi kwama-Israyeli kuze kube laphakade. Indlu ka-Israyeli kayisayikulingcolisa futhi ibizo lami, bona loba amakhosi abo, ngobuwule babo langezithombe ezingaphiliyo zamakhosi abo ezindaweni zawo eziphakemeyo.
8 Ankamanga chiwundo chawo pafupi ndi chiwundo changa, ndiponso mphuthu zawo pafupi ndi mphuthu zanga, nʼkungokhala khoma chabe pakati pa iwowo ndi Ine. Motero anayipitsa dzina langa loyera ndi machitidwe awo onyansa. Choncho Ine ndinawawononga ndili wokwiya.
Lapho babeka iminyango yabo phansi komnyango wami lemigubazi yabo eceleni kwemigubazi yami, kulomduli nje kuphela phakathi kwami labo, bangcolisa ibizo lami ngezenzo zabo ezinengekayo. Ngakho ngabaqeda ekuthukutheleni kwami.
9 Tsopano alekeretu kupembedza milungu ina ndipo achotseretu mitembo ya mafumu awo, isakhale pafupi ndi Ine, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala pakati pawo mpaka muyaya.
Khathesi-ke kabasusele kude lami ubuwule babo kanye lezithombe zamakhosi abo ezingaphiliyo, njalo ngizahlala phakathi kwabo kuze kube laphakade.
10 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, awuze Aisraeliwa za Nyumba ya Mulunguyi, mamangidwe ake ndipo achite manyazi ndi machimo awo,
Ndodana yomuntu, chazela abantu bako-Israyeli ngethempeli ukuze bayangeke ngezono zabo. Wothi bacabange ngokumele kwenziwe ngobunono,
11 akachita manyazi ndi zoyipa zonse anachita, uwafotokozera za Nyumba ya Mulungu, mamangidwe ake, makomo ake otulukira ndi makomo olowera, ndiye kuti, mamangidwe ake onse. Uwafotokozerenso malangizo ndi malamulo ake. Uwalembe akuona kuti athe kuwasunga ndi kuwachita.
njalo nxa belenhloni ngakho konke abakwenzayo, bazise ngesimo sethempeli, ukumiswa kwalo, izindawo zalo zokuphuma lezokungena, isimo salo sonke lezimiso zalo zonke kanye lemithetho yakhona. Bhala lokhu phansi phambi kwabo ukuze bathembeke kuso isifanekiso salo njalo balandele zonke izimiso zalo.
12 “Limeneli ndi lamulo la Nyumba ya Mulungu imene idzamangidwe pamwamba pa phiri. Malo ake onse ozungulira adzakhala oyera kwambiri. Limeneli ndilo lamulo la Nyumba ya Mulungu.
Nanku umthetho wethempeli: Wonke umango oseduze phezu kwentaba uzakuba ngcwele kakhulu. Lowo yiwo umthetho wethempeli.”
13 “Miyeso ya guwa lansembe ndi iyi: Pa tsinde pake padzakhala ngalande ya masentimita makumi asanu kuzama kwake ndi mulifupi mwake. Mʼphepete mwa ngalandeyo kuzungulira guwa lonse, mudzakhala mkombero wa masentimita 25.
“Lezi yizilinganiso ze-alithare ngezingalo, ingalo kuyingalo lobubanzi besandla: Isidindi salo sasiyingalo eyodwa ukuphakama kwaso lengalo eyodwa ububanzi, silomqolo ongangobubanzi besandla emphethweni waso. Njalo nampu ubude be-alithare ukuphakama kwalo:
14 Kuchokera mʼngalande ya pansi padzakhala mpaka pa phaka lapansi mita imodzi, mulifupi mwake theka la mita. Kuchokera pa phaka lalingʼono mpaka pa phaka lalikulu, msinkhu wake ndi mamita awiri, mulifupi mwake ndi masentimita makumi asanu.
Kusukela esidindini phansi kusiya elitsheni elingaphansi lizingalo ezimbili ukuphakama lezingalo ezimbili ububanzi, njalo kusukela elitsheni elincane kusiya elitsheni elikhulu lizingalo ezine ukuphakama lengalo eyodwa ububanzi.
15 Malo osonkhapo moto pa guwa, msinkhu wake udzakhala mamita awiri. Pa ngodya iliyonse ya malo osonkhapo motowo panatuluka nyanga imodzi.
Iziko le-alithari lizingalo ezine ukuphakama njalo impondo ezine zikhokhekele phezulu zisuka eziko.
16 Malo osankhalapo moto pa guwa lansembe miyeso yake ndi yofanana mbali zonse. Mulitali mwake mudzakhala mamita asanu ndi limodzi ndipo mulifupi mwake mudzakhalanso mamita asanu ndi limodzi.
Iziko le-alithari liyalingana amacele wonke, izingalo ezilitshumi lambili ubude lezingalo ezilitshumi lambili ububanzi.
17 Phaka lapamwamba muyeso wake udzakhala wofanana mbali zonse. Mulitali mudzakhala mamita asanu ndi awiri ndiponso mulifupi mwake mudzakhalanso mamita asanu ndi awiri. Mkombero wake udzakhala wa masentimita 25 ndiponso ngalande yake yozungulira idzakhala ya masentimita 25. Makwerero a guwa lansembe adzayangʼana kummawa.”
Uhlangothi lwangaphezulu lalo luyalingana macele wonke, izingalo ezilitshumi lane ubude lobubanzi lulomphetho oyingxenye yengalo lesidindi esiyingalo eyodwa inxa zonke. Izinyathelo ze-alithare zikhangele empumalanga.”
18 Kenaka munthuyo anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, Ambuye Yehova akuti: Guwalo litamangidwa, tsono malamulo awa azidzatsatidwa popereka nsembe zopsereza ndiponso powaza magazi pa guwapo.
Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Le izakuba yimithetho yokunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa lokuchela igazi phezu kwe-alithari lapho selakhiwe:
19 Udzawapatse ansembe, omwe ndi Alevi, a banja la Zadoki, amene amabwera pafupi nane kudzanditumikira, mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna kuti aperekere nsembe yopepesera machimo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
Kumele unikele inkunzi eseseliguqa njengomnikelo wesono kubaphristi, abangabaLevi, abendlu kaZadokhi abasondela eduze ukuba bakhonze phambi kwami, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
20 Udzatengeko magazi ake ena ndi kuwapaka pa nyanga zinayi za pa guwa lansembe, pa ngodya zinayi za phaka ndiponso mozungulira mkombero wonse. Motero udzaliyeretsa ndi kulipatula.
Kumele uthathe elinye igazi ulifake empondweni ezine ze-alithare lasemagumbini amane elitshe langaphezulu lasemphethweni inxa zonke, ngokunjalo uhlambulule i-alithari njalo ulenzele inhlawulelo.
21 Udzatenge ngʼombe yayimuna yomwe yaperekedwa ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo, ndipo udzayiwotche pa malo ake enieni mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu, kunja kwa malo opatulika.
Kumele uthathe inkunzi yomnikelo wesono uyitshisele endaweni ekhethiweyo yethempeli ngaphandle kwendawo engcwele.
22 “Mmawa mwake udzatenge mbuzi yopanda chilema kuti nayonso iperekedwe ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo. Pambuyo pake idzayeretse guwa lansembe monga unachitira ndi ngʼombe yayimuna ija.
Ngosuku lwesibili kumele unikele imbuzi enduna engelasici ukuba ngumnikelo wesono, njalo le-alithari kumele lihlanjululwe njengokuhlanjululwa elakwenziwa ngenkunzi.
23 Utatha kuyeretsa guwa lansembelo, udzatenge mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna wopanda chilema ndiponso nkhosa yayimuna yopanda chilema.
Lapho usuqedile ukulihlambulula, kumele unikele inkunzi eseseliguqa kanye lenqama evela emhlambini, kokubili kungelasici.
24 Udzapereke zonsezi pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo ansembe adzazithire mchere ndi kuzipereka kuti zikhale nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova.
Kumele ukunikele phambi kukaThixo, njalo abaphristi kumele bavuvuzele itswayi phezu kwakho bakunikele njengomnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo.
25 “Kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri, uzidzapereka tsiku ndi tsiku mbuzi yayimuna, mwana wangʼombe, ndiponso nkhosa kuti zikhale nsembe zopepesera machimo. Zonsezi zidzakhale zopanda chilema.
Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa kuzamele unikele imbuzi enduna nsuku zonke ukuba ngumnikelo wesono; njalo kumele unikele inkunzi eseseliguqa kanye lenqama evela emhlambini, kokubili kungelasici.
26 Kwa masiku asanu ndi awiriwo ansembe adzachite mwambo woyeretsa ndi kupatula guwa lansembelo.
Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa bazakwenzela i-alithari inhlawulelo, balihlambulule, kanjalo balenze libengcwele.
27 Masiku amenewa atatha, kuyambira tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu, ansembe azipereka nsembe zanu zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano pa guwa lansembe. Apo ndidzakulandirani. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
Ekupheleni kwalezizinsuku, kusukela ngosuku lwesificaminwembili kusiya phambili, abaphristi kumele bethule iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa kanye leminikelo yobuzalwane e-alithareni. Lapho-ke ngizalamukela, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
