< Leviticus 1 >
1 And Jehovah called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,
INkosi yasimbiza uMozisi yakhuluma kuye isethenteni lenhlangano yathi:
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When any man of you offers an oblation to Jehovah, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.
Khuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Nxa umuntu wakini esondeza umnikelo eNkosini, lizasondeza umnikelo wenu ovela ezifuyweni, ovela enkomeni, loba ovela ezimvini.
3 If his oblation be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Jehovah.
Uba umnikelo wakhe ungumnikelo wokutshiswa ovela enkomeni, uzanikela iduna elingelasici, alinikele emnyango wethente lenhlangano, ngokuthanda kwakhe, phambi kweNkosi.
4 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Uzabeka isandla sakhe enhlokweni yomnikelo wokutshiswa, njalo wemukelelwe yena, ukumenzela inhlawulo yokuthula.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before Jehovah, and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.
Uzalihlaba ijongosi phambi kweNkosi; lamadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azanikela igazi, afafaze igazi elathini inhlangothi zonke, elisemnyango wethente lenhlangano.
6 And he shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into its pieces.
Uzahlinza umnikelo wokutshiswa, awusike ngeziqa zawo.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire.
Njalo amadodana kaAroni umpristi azafaka umlilo elathini, ahlele inkuni phezu komlilo.
8 And Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar,
Amadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azahlela-ke izitho, inhloko lamahwahwa, phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni ophezu kwelathi.
9 but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Jehovah.
Kodwa imibilini yalo lemilenze yalo uzakugezisa ngamanzi; njalo umpristi uzakutshisa konke elathini, kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
10 And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer it a male without blemish.
Njalo uba umnikelo wakhe uvela emhlanjini, owezimvu loba owembuzi, kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, uzasondeza iduna elingelasici;
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah, and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.
uzalihlabela eceleni kwelathi ngenyakatho, phambi kweNkosi; njalo amadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azafafaza igazi lalo elathini inhlangothi zonke.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat, and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar,
Uzalisika ngeziqa zalo, lenhloko yalo lamahwahwa alo; lompristi uzakuhlela phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni ophezu kwelathi.
13 but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Jehovah.
Kodwa uzagezisa imibilini lemilenze ngamanzi; lompristi uzakunikela konke, akutshise elathini; kungumnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
14 And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.
Uba-ke umnikelo wakhe eNkosini ungumnikelo wokutshiswa owezinyoni, uzanikela umnikelo wakhe uvela emajubeni loba amaphuphu enkwilimba.
15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. And the blood of it shall be drained out on the side of the altar.
Umpristi alisondeze elathini, atshuphune inhloko yalo, alitshise elathini, legazi lalo likhanyelwe eceleni kwelathi,
16 And he shall take away its crop with the filth of it, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.
asuse isidlelo salo lensiba zalo, akulahle eceleni kwelathi ngempumalanga, endaweni yomlotha,
17 And he shall rend it by the wings of it, but shall not divide it apart, and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Jehovah.
aliqhaqhe ngempiko zalo, angalehlukanisi; umpristi alitshise-ke elathini, phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni; kungumnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
