Leviticus 2
1 And if a soul bring a gift, a sacrifice to the Lord, his gift shall be fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and shall put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.
“‘Nxa umuntu angaletha umnikelo wamabele kuThixo; umnikelo wakhe uzakuba ngowefulawa ecolekileyo. Uzayithela amafutha ayihlanganise lempepha
2 And he shall bring it to the priests the sons of Aaron: and having taken from it a handful of the fine flour with the oil, and all its frankincense, then the priest shall put the memorial of it on the altar: [it is] a sacrifice, an odour of sweet savour to the Lord.
abeseyisa emadodaneni ka-Aroni, abaphristi. Umphristi uzacupha ifulawa ecolekileyo egcwala isandla, ayihlanganise lamafutha lempepha ndawonye, abesekutshisa njengesikhumbuzo e-alithareni, umnikelo owenziwa ngomlilo, olephunga elimnandi kuThixo.
3 And the remainder of the sacrifice shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the sacrifices of the Lord.
Okuseleyo emnikelweni wamabele ngokuka-Aroni lamadodana akhe, yingxenye engcwele kakhulu yomhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
4 And if he bring as a gift a sacrifice baked from the oven, a gift to the Lord of fine flour, [he shall bring] unleavened bread kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil.
Nxa ungaletha umnikelo wamabele obhekhwe eziko, kumele wenziwe ngefulawa ecolekileyo: amakhekhe abhekhwe kungela mvubelo, ahlanganiswa lamafutha, kumbe amakhekhe ayizicecedu enziwe kungela mvubelo, asegcotshwa ngamafutha.
5 And if your gift [be] a sacrifice from a pan, it is fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened [offerings].
Nxa umnikelo wakho wamabele uhlanganiselwe emganwini wensimbi, kumele ulungiswe ngefulawa ecolekileyo, ehlanganiswe lamafutha njalo ingela mvubelo.
6 And you shall break them into fragments and pour oil upon them: it is a sacrifice to the Lord.
Uvuthuze ubusuthela amafutha kuwo; ngumnikelo wamabele.
7 And if your gift be a sacrifice from the hearth, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
Nxa umnikelo wakho wamabele ubhekhelwe epaneni, kuzamele wenziwe ngefulawa ecolekileyo lamafutha.
8 And he shall offer the sacrifice which he shall make of these to the Lord, and shall bring it to the priest.
Letha umnikelo wamabele olungiswe ngezinto lezi kuThixo: uziqhubele umphristi ozazisa e-alithareni.
9 And the priest shall approach the altar, and shall take away from the sacrifice a memorial of it, and the priest shall place it on the altar: a burnt offering, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
Uzakhupha ingxenye eyisikhumbuzo emnikelweni wamabele, abeseyitshisela e-alithareni njengomhlatshelo wokudla, olephunga elimnandi kuThixo.
10 And that which is left of the sacrifice [shall be] for Aaron and his sons, most holy from the burnt offerings of the Lord.
Okuseleyo emnikelweni wamabele ngokuka-Aroni lamadodana akhe, yingxenye engcwele kakhulu yomhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
11 You shall not leaven any sacrifice which you shall bring to the Lord; for [as to] any leaven, or any honey, you shall not bring of it to offer a gift to the Lord.
Wonke umnikelo wamabele owuletha kuThixo kumele ulungiswe ungelamvubelo, ngoba kakumelanga utshise imvubelo kumbe uluju emhlatshelweni wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
12 You shall bring them in the way of fruits to the Lord, but they shall not be offered on the altar for a sweet smelling savour to the Lord.
Ungakuletha kuThixo njengomnikelo wokuchinsa izithelo zakuqala, kodwa kakumelanga ukuthi zinikelwe e-alithareni njengephunga elimnandi.
13 And every gift of your sacrifice shall be seasoned with salt; omit not the salt of the covenant of the Lord from your sacrifices: on every gift of yours you shall offer salt to the Lord your God.
Tswayani yonke iminikelo yenu yamabele. Lingakhohlwa itswayi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wenu eminikelweni yenu yamabele: fakani itswayi eminikelweni yenu yonke.
14 And if you would offer a sacrifice of first fruits to the Lord, [it shall be] new grains ground [and] roasted for the Lord; so shall you bring the sacrifice of the first fruits.
Nxa lingaletha umnikelo wamabele ezithelo zakuqala kuThixo, nikelani ngezikhwebu zamabele amatsha agigwe ekhanzingwe emlilweni.
15 And you shall pour oil upon it, and shall put frankincense on it: it is a sacrifice.
Thelani amafutha lihlanganise lempepha: ngumnikelo wamabele.
16 And the priest shall offer the memorial of it [taken] from the grains with the oil, and all its frankincense: it is a burnt offering to the Lord.
Umphristi uzatshisa ingxenye eyisikhumbuzo emabeleni agigiweyo, kanye lamafutha ndawonye lempepha yonke njengomhlatshelo wokudla owenzelwa onikelwa kuThixo.’”
