Leviticus 10
1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them.
Amadodana ka-Aroni uNadabi lo-Abhihu bathatha izitsha zempepha, bafaka umlilo kuzo, bafaka impepha; basebenikela ngomlilo phambi kukaThixo ngokungekho emandleni abo, njalo kuphambene lomlayo wakhe.
2 And there came forth fire from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
Kwavela umlilo lapho uThixo ayekhona, wabatshisa bafa phambi kukaThixo.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron: 'This is it that the LORD spoke, saying: Through them that are nigh unto Me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.' And Aaron held his peace.
UMosi wasesithi ku-Aroni, “Lokhu yikho okwakhulunywa nguThixo aze athi: ‘Kulabo abasondela kimi Ubungcwele bami buzabonakala, phambi kwabo bonke abantu Ngizadunyiswa.’” U-Aroni wala ethule.
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them: 'Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.'
UMosi wabiza uMishayeli lo-Elizafani amadodana kamalumakhe ka-Aroni u-Uziyeli, wathi kubo, “Wozani lapha lizothwala abafowenu libakhuphele phandle kwezihonqo, khatshana laphambi kwendlu engcwele.”
5 So they drew near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.
Ngakho beza babathwala belokhu begqoke amabhatshi abo, babakhuphela ngaphandle kwezihonqo njengokulaya kukaMosi.
6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons: 'Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither tend your clothes, that ye die not, and that He be not wroth with all the congregation; but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
UMosi wasesithi ku-Aroni lamadodana akhe u-Eliyazari lo-Ithamari, “Lingayekeli inwele zenu zingembozwanga njalo lingadabuli izigqoko zenu ngokuhlulukelwa, funa life, loThixo athukuthelele abantu bonke. Kodwa zonke izihlobo zenu lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli bangabakhalela labo ababhujiswe nguThixo ngomlilo.
7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you.' And they did according to the word of Moses.
Lingaze lasuka esangweni lethente lokuhlangana funa life, ngoba amafutha kaThixo okugcoba ogcotshelwa isikhundla aphezu kwenu.” Ngakho benza njengokulaya kukaMosi.
8 And the LORD spoke unto Aaron, saying:
UThixo wasesithi ku-Aroni,
9 'Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
“Wena lamadodana akho akumelanga linathe iwayini loba okunye okunathwayo okubilileyo nxa lisiyangena ethenteni lokuhlangana, funa life. Lo ngumlayo omi kuze kube nininini kuzizukulwane ezizayo.
10 And that ye may put difference between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;
Kumele lahlukanise okungcwele kokungangcwele, okuhlanzekileyo kokungahlanzekanga,
11 and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.'
njalo kumele lifundise abako-Israyeli zonke izimiso uThixo abaphe zona ngoMosi.”
12 And Moses spoke unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left: 'Take the meal-offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy.
UMosi wathi ku-Aroni kanye lamadodana akhe aseleyo, u-Eliyazari lo-Ithamari, “Thathani umnikelo wamabele oseleyo emihlatshelweni yokudla enikelwe kuThixo, liwudle ungelamvubelo eceleni kwe-alithari ngoba ungcwele kakhulu.
13 And ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the offerings of the LORD made by fire; for so I am commanded.
Udleleni endaweni engcwele, ngoba uyisabelo senu kanye lamadodana enu, njengoba ngilaywe ngokunjalo.
14 And the breast of waving and the thigh of heaving shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for they are given as thy due, and thy sons' due, out of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.
Kodwa wena lamadodana akho kanye lamadodakazi akho lingadla isifuba esazunguzwayo kanye lomlenze onikelweyo. Kudleleni endaweni ehlanzekileyo ngokomkhuba; kuphiwe wena kanye labantwabakho njengesabelo somnikelo wobudlelwano kwabako-Israyeli.
15 The thigh of heaving and the breast of waving shall they bring with the offerings of the fat made by fire, to wave it for a wave-offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, as a due for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.'
Umlenze owanikelwayo kanye lesifuba esazunguzwayo kumele kulethwe kanye lamahwahwa anikelwa ngomlilo, azozunguzwa phambi kukaThixo njengomnikelo wokuzunguzwa. Lokho kuzakuba yisabelo sansukuzonke esakho kanye labantwabakho, njengokulaya kukaThixo.”
16 And Moses diligently inquired for the goat of the sin-offering, and, behold, it was burnt; and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying:
UMosi wathi ebuza ngembuzi yomnikelo wesono wathola ukuthi yayisitshisiwe, wathukuthelela u-Eliyazari lo-Ithamari, amadodana ka-Aroni ayesesele, wawabuza wathi,
17 'Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and He hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
“Kungani lingadlelanga umnikelo wesono endlini engcwele na? Ungcwele kakhulu; lawuphiwa ukuze ususe icala labantu ngokwenza ukuthi babuyiswe phambi kukaThixo.
18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within; ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.'
Njengoba igazi lawo lingangeniswanga eNdaweni eNgcwele, bekumele imbuzi liyidlele endlini engcwele njengokulaya kwami.”
19 And Aaron spoke unto Moses: 'Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before the LORD, and there have befallen me such things as these; and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of the LORD?
U-Aroni waphendula uMosi wathi, “Lamuhla benze umhlatshelo womnikelo wesono kanye lomnikelo wokutshiswa phambi kukaThixo, kodwa izinto ezinjengalezi sezenzakele kimi. Nxa bengidle umnikelo wesono lamuhla, kambe uThixo ubengachelesa ngalokho na?”
20 And when Moses heard that, it was well-pleasing in his sight.
UMosi wasuthiseka ekuzwa lokho.
