Leviticus 22
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, That they hold sacredly aloof from the holy things of the sons of Israel, so as not to profane my holy name, —in the things which they are hallowing unto me—I, am Yahweh.
Tshono kuAroni lakumadodana akhe ukuthi bazehlukanise lezinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, bangangcolisi ibizo lami elingcwele; ngoba zingcwele kimi: NgiyiNkosi.
3 Say unto them—Unto your generations, as touching any man who cometh near from among any of your seed, unto the hallowed things which the sons of Israel may hallow unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is upon him, then shall that person be cut off from before me—I, am Yahweh.
Tshono kibo uthi: Loba nguwuphi umuntu ezizukulwaneni zenu owenzalo yenu yonke osondela ezintweni ezingcwele, abantwana bakoIsrayeli abazingcwelisela iNkosi, nxa ukungcola kwakhe kuphezu kwakhe, lowomuntu uzaqunywa asuke phambi kwami. NgiyiNkosi.
4 No man soever of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or hath a flux, shall eat of the holy things, until he be clean, —And as for him who toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
Ngulowo lalowo owenzalo kaAroni, ongumlephero, loba olokugobhoza, kangadli ezintweni ezingcwele aze ahlambuluke. Lothinta lakuphi okungcoliswe yisidumbu, kumbe indoda okuphuma kuyo ubudoda bokuhlangana,
5 or a man who toucheth any creeping thing, which is unclean to him, —or [toucheth] any human being who hath uncleanness, to the extent of any thing that maketh him unclean,
kumbe loba ngubani othinta loba yiyiphi into ehuquzelayo, angcoliswa yiyo, kumbe umuntu angcoliswa nguye, ngakho konke ukungcola kwakhe,
6 any person who toucheth any such, shall then be unclean until the evening, —and shall not eat of the hallowed things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
umuntu othinta lokhu uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe, angadli okwezinto ezingcwele ngaphandle kokuthi ageze umzimba wakhe ngamanzi.
7 When the sun tooth in, then is he clean, —and thereafter, he may eat of the hallowed things, for, his food, it is.
Nxa selitshonile ilanga uzahlambuluka; lemva kwalokho angadla okwezinto ezingcwele, ngoba kuyikudla kwakhe.
8 That which dieth of itself or is torn in pieces, shall he not eat to make himself unclean thereby, —I, am Yahweh.
Ingcuba lokudatshuliweyo kangakudli ukuzingcolisa ngakho. NgiyiNkosi.
9 Therefore shall they keep my charge, and shall not bear, for it, sin, and die therein, when they profane it, —I—Yahweh, am hallowing them.
Ngakho bazagcina umlayo wami, ukuze bangathwali isono ngawo, bafele kuso, sebewungcolisile. NgiyiNkosi ebangcwelisayo.
10 And, no stranger, shall eat what is hallowed, —neither, one who dwelleth with a priest nor a hireling shall eat what is hallowed.
Njalo kakho owemzini ozakudla into engcwele. Ohlala lompristi loyisisebenzi esiqhatshiweyo kangadli into engcwele.
11 But when, a priest, buyeth any person, as the purchase of his silver, he may eat thereof, —and, the children of his household, they, may eat of his food.
Kodwa uba umpristi ethenga umuntu eyintengo yemali yakhe, yena angadla okwayo, lozelwe emzini wakhe, bona bangadla okokudla kwakhe.
12 And, when, a priest’s daughter, belongeth to a husband, who is a stranger, she, of the heave-offering of the hallowed things, may not eat.
Lendodakazi yompristi, uba isiba ngeyendoda yemzini, yona kayingadli okomnikelo wezinto ezingcwele.
13 But, when a priest’s daughter, cometh to be a widow or divorced and hath no seed, and so she returneth unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of the food of her father, she may eat, —but no stranger, shall eat thereof.
Kodwa indodakazi yompristi, nxa ingumfelokazi loba ingelahliweyo ingelanzalo, isibuyele emzini kayise njengebutsheni bayo, izakudla okokudla kukayise; kanti kakho owemzini ongadla kukho.
14 And, when, any man, eateth what is hallowed, by mistake, then shall he add the fifth part of it thereunto, and give unto the priest the hallowed thing:
Njalo nxa umuntu esidla into engcwele ngokungazi, uzakwengezelela kuyo ingxenye yesihlanu yayo, anike umpristi into engcwele.
15 So shall they not profane the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, —which they heave up unto Yahweh;
Njalo kabayikungcolisa izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli abaziphakamisela iNkosi,
16 nor cause them to bear guilty iniquity, when they eat their hallowed things, —For, I—Yahweh, am hallowing them.
babenze bathwale ububi becala, lapho besidla izinto zabo ezingcwele; ngoba ngiyiNkosi ebangcwelisayo.
17 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
18 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them—What man, soever, of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, may bring near his oblation, as regardeth any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings which they may bring near unto Yahweh, as an ascending-sacrifice,
Tshono kuAroni, lakumadodana akhe, lakubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, uthi kubo: Ngulowo lalowo owendlu kaIsrayeli, lowabezizweni koIsrayeli, ozanikela umnikelo wakhe ngezithembiso zabo zonke, langokweminikelo yabo yonke yesihle, abazayinikela eNkosini kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa,
19 that ye may be accepted, [it must be] a male without defect, of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats:
ukuze lemukeleke, iduna elingelasici, elezinkomo, elezimvu, loba elembuzi.
20 whatsoever hath in it a blemish, shall ye not bring near, —for it shall not be accepted for you.
Linganikeli loba ngakuphi okulesici kukho, ngoba kakuyikwemukeleka kini.
21 And, whosoever would bring near a peace-offering unto Yahweh, to consecrate a vow or as a freewill-offering with a bullock or a sheep, without defect, shall it be, to be accepted, no, blemish, shall be therein.
Umuntu, nxa enikela-ke umhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula eNkosini wesithembiso esikhethekileyo loba womnikelo wesihle, enkomeni loba ezimvini, kumele uphelele ukuze wemukeleke, kungabi lasici kuwo.
22 Blind, or broken, or rent, or having a running sore, or scurvy, or scab, ye shall not bring these near unto Yahweh, —and no, altar-flame, shall ye present therefrom upon the altar, unto Yahweh.
Eziyiziphofu, kumbe ezephukileyo, kumbe eziyizilima, kumbe ezilensumpa, kumbe eziloqweqwe, kumbe ezilamathumba, linganikeli lezi eNkosini, futhi linganikeli kulezi umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo eNkosini phezu kwelathi.
23 Whether an ox or a lamb long or short limb, as a free-will offering, thou mayest offer it, but, for a vow, it shall not be accepted.
Kodwa inkunzi loba imvu elesitho eselulekileyo kumbe esidundubeleyo lingayinikela ibe ngumnikelo wesihle; kodwa kayiyikwemukeleka ukuba ngeyesithembiso.
24 But that which is bruised in the stones or broken therein, or torn or cut, shall ye neither bring ear unto Yahweh, nor on your own land, shall ye offer.
Njalo linganikeli eNkosini okuhluzukileyo kumbe okugxotshiweyo loba okudatshuliweyo loba okuqunyiweyo; lingakwenzi elizweni lakini.
25 Even at the hand of the son of a stranger, shall ye not bring near the food of your God of any of these, —for, their damage is in them, a blemish, is in them, they shall not be accepted for you.
Ngokuvela esandleni sowemzini linganikeli isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wenu okuvela kuzo zonke lezi; ngoba ukonakala kwazo kukuzo, isici sikuzo, kaziyikwemukeleka kini.
26 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying: —
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
27 When, a beeve or a sheep or a goat, is brought forth, then shall it be seven days under its dam, —and, from the eighth day and onwards, it shall be accepted as an oblation of an altar-flame unto Yahweh,
Nxa kuzalwa inkunzi loba imvu loba imbuzi, izakuba ngaphansi kukanina insuku eziyisikhombisa. Njalo kusukela kusuku lwesificaminwembili njalo kusiya phambili izakwemukeleka ibe ngumnikelo, umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
28 Whether cow or ewe—it and its young, shall ye not slaughter on one day.
Kodwa inkomokazi loba imvukazi lingayihlabi lomntwana wayo ngasuku lunye.
29 And when ye would offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Yahweh, for your acceptance, shall ye offer it.
Njalo nxa lihlabela iNkosi umhlatshelo wokubonga, lizawuhlaba ukuze lemukeleke.
30 On the same day, shall it be eaten, ye shall not leave thereof until morning, —I, am Yahweh.
Uzadliwa ngalolosuku, lingatshiyi okwawo kuze kube sekuseni. NgiyiNkosi.
31 So then ye shall observe my commandments, and do them, —I, am Yahweh.
Ngakho gcinani imilayo yami, liyenze. NgiyiNkosi.
32 So shall ye not profane my holy name, So shall I be hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel, —I, am Yahweh, who am hallowing you;
Njalo lingeyisi ibizo lami elingcwele, kodwa ngizangcweliswa phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. NgiyiNkosi elingcwelisayo,
33 Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —I, am Yahweh.
eyalikhupha elizweni leGibhithe ukuze ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu. NgiyiNkosi.
