Levitiko 16
1 Atafa ana awiri a Aaroni amene anaphedwa atapita pamaso pa Yehova mosayenera, Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose.
UThixo wakhuluma loMosi ngemva kokufa kwamadodana ka-Aroni azama ukuqondana loThixo.
2 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Uza mchimwene wako Aaroni kuti asamalowe ku Malo Wopatulika, kuseri kwa katani, pamaso pa chivundikiro cha Bokosi la Chipangano nthawi iliyonse imene akufuna kuopa kuti angadzafe, pakuti Ine ndimaoneka mu mtambo umene uli pamwamba pa chivundikiro cha Bokosi la Chipangano.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Tshela umfowenu u-Aroni ukuthi angamani abuye nje ngokuthanda kwakhe endaweni eNgcwelengcwele, ngemva kwekhetheni, phambi kwesihlalo somusa phezu komtshokotsho funa afe, ngoba ngiyabonakala ngiseyezini phezu kwesihlalo somusa.
3 “Aaroni azilowa Malo Wopatulika Kwambiri motere: azitenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna kuti akhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza.
U-Aroni kuzamele angene endaweni engcwele ngale indlela: Keze lejongosi, kube ngumnikelo wesono, kuthi okomnikelo wokutshiswa, kube yinqama.
4 Azivala mwinjiro wopatulika wa nsalu yosalala, azivalanso kabudula wa mʼkati wa nsalu yosalala, azimanga lamba wa nsalu yosalala, ndipo avalenso nduwira ya nsalu yosalala kumutu. Zimenezi ndi nsalu zopatulika ndipo atasamba thupi lonse azivala zimenezi.
Uzagqoka ibhatshi elingcwele elenziwe ngelembu elicolekileyo, lezigqoko zelineni ezangaphansi; kazibophe ngebhanti elenziwe ngelineni njalo athwale iqhiye yelineni. Lezi yizembatho ezingcwele; ngakho kufanele ageze umzimba ngamanzi andubana agqoke izembatho lezi.
5 Kuchokera pa gulu la Aisraeli, Aaroni azitenga mbuzi zazimuna ziwiri kuti zikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza.
Kathathe imbuzi ezinduna ezimbili esizweni sako-Israyeli zibe ngumnikelo wesono, lenqama ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa.
6 “Aaroni apereke ngʼombe yayimuna kuti ikhale yopepesera machimo a iye mwini kuti achite mwambo wopepesera machimo ake pamodzi ndi a banja lake.
U-Aroni uzanikela ngenkunzi, ibe ngumnikelo wesono sakhe, ukwenzela ukubuyisana kwakhe lokwabendlu yakhe.
7 Kenaka atenge mbuzi ziwiri zija ndipo aziyimike pamaso pa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
Abesethatha imbuzi zombili azilethe phambi kukaThixo, esangweni lethente lokuhlangana.
8 Aaroni ndiye achite maere pa mbuzi ziwirizo kuti imodzi ikhale ya Yehova, ndipo inayo ikhale ya Azazele.
Uzaphosa inkatho yokubona ngembuzi zombili, eyinye izakuba ngekaThixo, enye ibe ngeyesesulelo.
9 Aaroni abwere ndi mbuzi imene maere aonetsa kuti ndi ya Yehova, ndipo apereke kuti ikhale nsembe yopereka chifukwa cha tchimo.
U-Aroni uzaletha imbuzi yenkatho kaThixo ibe ngumnikelo wesono.
10 Koma mbuzi imene maere aonetsa kuti ndi yosenza machimo, apereke ya moyo pamaso pa Yehova, kuti achite mwambo wopepesera machimo pa mbuziyo poyitumiza ku chipululu kuti ikhale ya Azazele.
Kodwa imbuzi edliwe yinkatho yesesulelo izalethwa kuThixo iphila ukuze isetshenziswe ukwenza ukubuyisana ngokuyixotshela enkangala, njengembuzi yesesulelo.
11 “Aaroni apereke ngʼombe yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ake. Ndiye achite mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake pamodzi ndi banja lake. Pambuyo pake aphe ngʼombe yopepesera machimo ake aja.
U-Aroni uzaletha inkunzi ibe ngumnikelo wesono sakhe ukwenzela ukubuyisana kwakhe lokwendlu yakhe, njalo uzayihlaba leyonkunzi ibe ngumnikelo wesono sakhe.
12 Kenaka iye atenge chofukizira chodzaza ndi makala a moto ochokera pa guwa lansembe pamaso pa Yehova. Atengenso lubani wonunkhira ndi woperapera wokwanira manja awiri, ndipo alowe naye kuseri kwa katani.
Uzathatha isiphathelo sokutshisela impepha sigcwele amalahle avuthayo ase-alithareni phambi kukaThixo kanye lempepha ecolekileyo enuka kamnandi egcwala izandla ezimbili, ayelakho ngemva kwekhetheni.
13 Athire lubani pa moto pamaso pa Yehova kuti utsi wa lubaniyo uphimbe chivundikiro chimene chili pamwamba pa Bokosi la Chipangano, kuti Aaroniyo asafe.
Uzathela impepha emlilweni phambi kukaThixo, kuthi intuthu yempepha isibekele isihlalo somusa esiphezu kwezibhebhedu zobufakazi ukuze angafi.
14 Ndipo atenge magazi ena a ngʼombeyo, awawaze ndi chala chake pa chivundikiro cha kummawa; kenaka awaze magaziwo ndi chala chake kasanu ndi kawiri patsogolo pa chivundikirocho.
Uzathatha elinye igazi lenkunzi, achele ngalo phambi kwebhokisi lesihlalo somusa esebenzisa umunwe wakhe; ngomunwe wakhe njalo achele kasikhombisa phambi kwesihlalo somusa.
15 “Kenaka Aaroni aphe mbuzi ya nsembe yopepesera machimo a anthu, ndipo magazi ake alowe nawo kuseri kwa katani ndi kuchita chimodzimodzi monga anachitira ndi magazi a ngʼombe aja: Aaroni awaze magaziwo pa chivundikiro chija ndi patsogolo pa chivundikirocho.
Ngemva kwalokho, uzabulala imbuzi ibe ngumnikelo wesono sabantu, abesethatha igazi layo aye ngemva kwekhetheni, ayekwenza njengalokhu akwenze ngegazi lenkunzi: Uzachela phezu kwesihlalo somusa laphambili kwaso.
16 Pamenepo ndiye kuti wansembeyo wachita mwambo wopepesera ku Malo Wopatulika chifukwa cha kudetsedwa ndi kuwukira kwa Aisraeli pa machimo ena aliwonse amene achita. Achite chimodzimodzi ndi tenti ya msonkhano imenenso ili yodetsedwa chifukwa cha machimo awo.
Ngalokho uzakwenza indlela yokubuyisana, endaweni eNgcwelengcwele ngenxa yokungcola lokuhlamuka kwabako-Israyeli, kungakhathalekile ukuthi benze sono bani. Uzakwenza njalo into efanayo ethenteni lokuhlangana eliphakathi kwabo ngokungcola okuphakathi kwabo.
17 Mu tenti ya msonkhano musakhale munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe nthawi imene Aaroni akupita kukachita mwambo wopepesera ku Malo Wopatulika mpaka atatulukako. Musakhale munthu mu tenti ya msonkhano mpaka atachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake, banja lake ndi gulu lonse la Aisraeli.
Kakho ozangena ethenteni lokuhlangana, kusukela ekungeneni kuka-Aroni esiyakwenza indlela yokubuyisana endaweni eNgcwelengcwele aze aphume, esezenzele indlela yokubuyisana, leyabendlu yakhe kanye lesizwe sonke sako-Israyeli.
18 “Kenaka, Aaroniyo akatuluka apite ku guwa limene lili pamaso pa Yehova ndi kulichitira mwambo wolipepesera. Atengeko magazi a ngʼombe yayimuna ndiponso magazi a mbuzi ndi kuwapaka pa nyanga zonse za guwa lansembe.
Ngakho uzakuza e-alithareni eliphambi kukaThixo, alenzele indlela yokubuyisana. Uzathatha elinye igazi lenkunzi lelinye elembuzi, aninde ngalo impondo zonke ze-alithare.
19 Magazi ena awawaze pa guwalo ndi chala chake kasanu ndi kawiri kuliyeretsa ndi kulipatula kuchotsa zodetsa za Aisraeli.
Uzachela elinye igazi ngomunwe wakhe kasikhombisa ukulihlanza lokulingcwelisa kulokhu kungcola kwabako-Israyeli.
20 “Aaroni akatsiriza mwambo wopepesera Malo Wopatulika, tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa, azibwera ndi mbuzi yamoyo kudzayipereka nsembe.
Nxa u-Aroni eseqedile ukwenzela indlela yokubuyisana indawo eNgcwelengcwele, ithente lokuhlangana kanye le-alithari, uzaletha imbuzi ephilayo.
21 Aaroni asanjike manja ake pa mutu wa mbuziyo ndipo awulule pa mbuziyo zoyipa zonse ndi zowukira zonse za Aisraeli, kutanthauza machimo awo onse. Machimowo awayike pa mutu wa mbuziyo. Kenaka munthu amene anasankhidwa athamangitsire mbuziyo ku chipululu.
Uzabeka izandla zakhe zombili ekhanda lembuzi ephilayo, avumele phezu kwayo ukona lokuhlamuka kwabako-Israyeli, izono zabo zonke azifake ekhanda lembuzi. Imbuzi le izaxotshelwa enkangala iqhutshwa yindoda ekhethelwe lowomsebenzi.
22 Mbuziyo isenze machimo awo onse ndi kupita nawo kutali ndipo munthuyo aleke mbuziyo kuti ipite ku chipululuko.
Imbuzi izathwala zonke izono zabo, ithubele lazo; indoda izayixotshela enkangala.
23 “Pambuyo pake Aaroni alowe mu tenti ya msonkhano ndi kuvula zovala zosalala zija zimene anavala polowa ku Malo Wopatulika ndi kuzisiya komweko.
Ngakho u-Aroni uzangena ethenteni lokuhlangana, akhulule izigqoko zelineni abezigqoke engakangeni endaweni eNgcwelengcwele, azitshiye khonapho.
24 Asambe thupi lonse ku Malo Wopatulika ndi kuvala zovala zake za nthawi zonse. Kenaka atuluke ndi kukapereka nsembe yopsereza ya iye mwini, ndiponso nsembe yopsereza yoperekera anthu. Akatero ndiye kuti wachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake ndi a anthu.
Uzageza umzimba ngamanzi endaweni engcwele, abesegqoka izigqoko zakhe. Ngemva kwalokho uzaphuma lapho ayezinikelela umnikelo wokutshiswa kanye lokunikelela abantu umnikelo wokutshiswa, esenzela ukubuyisana kwakhe lokwabantu.
25 Mafuta a nyama yopepesera machimo awatenthe pa guwa lansembe.
Njalo uzatshisa amahwahwa omnikelo wesono e-alithareni.
26 “Tsono munthu amene anaperekeza mbuzi yosenza machimo ija achape zovala zake ndi kusamba. Pambuyo pake alowe ku msasa.
Indoda ezaxotshela imbuzi eyisesulelo kumele ihlambe izigqoko zayo lomzimba ngamanzi; ngemva kwalokho isingangena ezihonqweni.
27 Ngʼombe ndi mbuzi zoperekera nsembe yopepesera machimo zimene magazi ake anabwera nawo kuti achitire mwambo wopepesera Malo Wopatulika, azitulutsire kunja kwa msasa. Koma zikopa zake, nyama yake ndi matumbo ake azitenthe.
Inkunzi kanye lembuzi yomnikelo wesono, okulegazi elilethwe endaweni eNgcwelengcwele ukwenzela ukubuyisana, kakukhitshelwe ngaphandle kwezihonqo; kutshiswe izikhumba zakho, inyama kanye lezangaphakathi.
28 Munthu amene azitenthe achape zovala zake ndi kusamba. Pambuyo pake alowe mu msasa.
Indoda ezatshisa lokhu kayigezise izigqoko zayo njalo igeze lomzimba wayo ngamanzi; ngemva kwalokho isingangena ezihonqweni.
29 “Ili likhale lamulo lanu lamuyaya: Mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, pa tsiku la khumi la mwezi, mugonje pamaso pa Yehova. Musamagwire ntchito iliyonse, kaya ndinu mbadwa kapena mlendo amene akukhala pakati panu,
Lokhu kakube yisimiso kini esingapheliyo: Ngosuku lwetshumi ngenyanga yesikhombisa, lizidele, lingabambi umsebenzi, loba lingabanikazi bendawo loba kungabezizwe phakathi kwenu,
30 chifukwa tsiku limeneli kudzachitika mwambo wopepesera machimo anu, kukuyeretsani kuti mukhale oyeretsedwa ku machimo anu pamaso pa Yehova.
ngenxa yokuthi ngalolusuku lizakwenzelwa ukubuyisana, ukulihlambulula. Ngakho, phambi kukaThixo, lizabe selihlanzekile ezonweni zenu zonke.
31 Limeneli ndi tsiku lanu la Sabata lopumula, ndipo muzigonja pamaso pa Yehova. Limeneli ndi lamulo lanu la muyaya.
KuliSabatha lokuphumula, ngakho kumele lizidele, kuyisimiso esingapheliyo.
32 Wansembe amene wadzozedwa ndi kupatulidwa kuti akhale wansembe kulowa mʼmalo mwa abambo ake ndiye azichita mwambo wopepesera machimo atavala zovala zake zosalala ndi zopatulika.
Umphristi ogcotshiweyo, wabekwa ukuthatha isikhundla sikayise ukuba ngumphristi omkhulu uzakwenza indlela yokubuyisana. Uzagqoka izigqoko ezingcwele zelineni,
33 Adzachite mwambo wopepesera machimo Malo Wopatulika, tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe. Adzachitenso mwambo wopepesera anzake ndi gulu lonse la anthu.
enze ukubuyisana kwendawo eNgcwelengcwele, lokwethente lokuhlangana lokwe-alithari, lokwabaphristi kanye labantu bonke bakuleyondawo.
34 “Ili likhale lamulo lanu lamuyaya. Mwambo wopepesera machimo uzichitika kamodzi pa chaka chifukwa cha machimo a anthu onse.” Ndipo Mose anachita monga momwe Yehova analamulira.
Lokhu kuzakuba yisimiso esingapheliyo kini: Ukubuyisana kakwenziwe kanye ngomnyaka, kusenzelwa zonke izono zabako-Israyeli.” Lokhu kwenziwa, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
