Kwan 8
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 “Wuo gi Harun kendo iwachne kama: ‘Ka iketo teyni abiriyo kuonde mowinjore, to nyaka ler margi meny nyim rachung taya.’”
“Tshono ku-Aroni uthi, ‘Nxa usumisa izibane eziyisikhombisa, kufanele zikhanyise indawo ephambi koluthi lwezibane.’”
3 Harun notimo kamano; noketo teyni kuonde mowinjore ka gimenyo nyim rachung taya, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
U-Aroni wenza njalo; wamisa izibane oluthini zikhangele phambili, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
4 Ma e kaka rachung taya nolosi: Nolose gi dhahabu mothedhi chakre e bwoye nyaka wiye malo. Rachung taya nolosi mana kaka ranyisi mane Jehova Nyasaye osenyiso Musa.
Uluthi lwesibane lwalwenziwe ngale indlela: Lwalwenziwe ngegolide elikhandiweyo kusukela esidindini salo kusiya embaxeni zamaluba alo. Uluthi lwesibane lwenziwa lwafana xathu lalokho uThixo ayekutshengise uMosi.

8 Nyisgi gikaw nyarwath kaachiel gi misango mar cham mar mogo mayom moru gi mo; bangʼe ikaw nyarwath matin mar ariyo kaka misango mar golo richo.

21 Jo-Lawi nopwodhore giwegi kendo negiluoko lepgi. Bangʼ mano Harun nochiwogi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kaka misango mifwayo mi notimonegi misango mondo opwodhgigo.

24 “Ma e kaka jo-Lawi biro tiyo: Joma chwo mahikgi piero ariyo gabich kata moloyo kanyo nobi mondo obed achiel kuom jotich e Hemb Romo,
“Lokhu kuqondane labaLevi: Abesilisa abaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu kusiya phezulu bazakwenza umsebenzi ethenteni lokuhlangana,
25 to ka giromo higni piero abich, to giniwe tich.
kodwa asebeleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu okuzalwa bazamiswa ukuphatha imisebenzi yabo yensuku ngensuku bangabe besasebenza futhi.
26 Ginyalo konyo owetegi e tije mag Hemb Romo, to gin giwegi ok onego gimul tich moro amora. Ma e kaka ibiro pogo tije ne jo-Lawi.”
Bangasiza nje abafowabo nxa besenza imisebenzi yabo ethenteni lokuhlangana, kodwa bona ngokwabo bangasebenzi. Le yiyo-ke indlela ozakupha ngayo abaLevi imisebenzi.”
