1 “‘Ngati munthu apereka nsembe ya chiyanjano kwa Yehova, ndipo choperekacho nʼkukhala ngʼombe yayimuna kapena yayikazi, ikhale yopanda chilema.
“‘Nxa umnikelo womuntu ungumnikelo wobudlelwano, enikela ngesifuyo esiduna kumbe esisikazi, esisuka emhlambini, kumele alethe kuThixo isifuyo esingalasici.
2 Munthuyo asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa ngʼombeyo, ndipo ayiphere pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Ndipo ansembe, ana a Aaroni, awaze magazi mbali zonse za guwalo.
Kumele abeke isandla sakhe ekhanda lesifuyo somnikelo, abesesihlabela esangweni lethente lokuhlangana. Ngemva kwalokho, amadodana ka-Aroni angabaphristi, azachela igazi emaceleni wonke e-alithare.
3 Pa nsembe yachiyanjanopo, ayenera kupatula zamʼkati mwa nyamayo ndi mafuta onse amene amakuta zamʼkati kupereka nsembe ya chakudya kwa Yehova.
Emnikelweni wobudlelwano uzaletha umhlatshelo onikelwa kuThixo ngomlilo: idanga lonke elembese ezangaphakathi,
4 Apatulenso impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta ake omwe ndiponso mafuta okuta chiwindi amene achotsedwa pamodzi ndi impsyo zija.
izinso zombili lamahwahwa azo aseduzane lesinqe, lamahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi, okufanele kukhutshwe lezinso.
5 Ndipo ana a Aaroni atenthe zimenezi pa guwa, pamwamba pa chopereka chopsereza chimene chili pa nkhuni zoyakazo. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yotentha pa moto, ya fungo lokomera Yehova.
Ngakho amadodana ka-Aroni azakutshisela e-alithareni, phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa ophezu kwenkuni ezibhebhayo njengomnikelo owenziwa ngomlilo, uqhatshi olumnandi kuThixo.
6 “‘Ngati munthu apereka nsembe ya chiyanjano kwa Yehova, choperekacho chikhale nkhosa yayimuna kapena yayikazi yopanda chilema.
Nxa anganikela ngesifuyo esisuka emhlambini wezimvu njengomnikelo wobudlelwano kuThixo, kuzamele anikele ngesiduna kumbe esisikazi esingelasici.
7 Ngati apereka nsembe ya mwana wankhosa, abwere naye pamaso pa Yehova.
Nxa anganikela ngezinyane, kumele alilethe phambi kukaThixo.
8 Asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa nkhosayo ndipo ayiphere pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Ndipo ana a Aaroni awaze magaziwo mbali zonse za guwalo.
Kumele abeke isandla sakhe phezu kwekhanda lomnikelo wakhe, asihlabe lesosifuyo phambi kwesango lethente lokuhlangana. Amadodana ka-Aroni azachela igazi laso emaceleni wonke e-alithare.
9 Pa nsembe yachiyanjanopo ayenera kuchotsa ndi kubweretsa: mafuta a nkhosayo, mchira wake wonse wonona atawudulira mʼtsinde pafupi ndi fupa la msana, zamʼkati zonse ndi mafuta onse amene akuta ziwalo zamʼkatimo,
Emnikelweni wobudlelwano kuzamele alethe umhlatshelo owenziwa kuThixo ngomlilo; amahwahwa awo, lomsila ononileyo aqunywe eduzane lomgogodla, idanga lonke, lawo wonke amahwahwa embese ezangaphakathi,
10 impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta amene akuta impsyozo, msonga ya chiwindi imene idzachotsedwere limodzi ndi impsyozo.
izinso zombili lamahwahwa aseduzane lesinqe lamahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi, okuzakhutshwa ndawonye lezinso.
11 Wansembe awotche zonsezi pa guwa. Ichi ndi chakudya chotentha pa moto choperekedwa kwa Yehova.
Umphristi uzakutshisela e-alithareni njengomhlatshelo wokudla, onikelwa kuThixo.
12 “‘Ngati munthuyo apereka mbuzi ngati nsembe, abwere nayo kwa Yehova.
Nxa umnikelo wakhe kuyimbuzi, uzayethula phambi kukaThixo.
13 Asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa mbuziyo ndipo ayiphere pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Ndipo ana a Aaroni awaze magazi ake mbali zonse za guwa.
Uzabeka isandla sakhe ekhanda layo, abeseyihlabela phambi kwesango lethente lokuhlangana. Amadodana ka-Aroni azachela igazi layo emaceleni wonke e-alithare.
14 Tsono pa nsembe yoti iwotchedwe kukhala nsembe chakudya ya Yehova, achotse ndi kubweretsa: mafuta onse amene amaphimba zamʼkati kapena mafuta onse a mʼkatimo,
Kulokho akunikelayo, kuzamele anikele umhlatshelo wokudla kuThixo, idanga lonke lawo wonke amahwahwa embese ezangaphakathi,
15 impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta onse omwe akuta impsyozo ndi msonga ya chiwindi imene adzachotsera pamodzi ndi impsyo zija.
izinso zombili, lamahwahwa aseduzane lesinqe, lamahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi okuzakhutshwa ndawonye lezinso.
16 Wansembe awotche zonsezi pa guwa. Ichi ndi chakudya cha Yehova, chowotcha pa moto ndiponso cha fungo lokomera Yehova. Mafuta onse ndi a Yehova.
Umphristi uzakutshisela e-alithareni njengomhlatshelo wokudla, iphunga elimnandi. Wonke amahwahwa ngakaThixo.
17 “‘Limeneli likhale lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse kuti musadzadye mafuta kapena magazi kulikonse kumene mudzakhale.’”
Lokhu kuzakuba yisimiso esingapheliyo ezizukulwaneni zenu zonke, kuzozonke izindawo elihlala kuzo. Akumelanga lidle yiloba ngumhlobo bani wamahwahwa kumbe igazi.’”
