Leviticus 22
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] Jehovah.
Tshono kuAroni lakumadodana akhe ukuthi bazehlukanise lezinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, bangangcolisi ibizo lami elingcwele; ngoba zingcwele kimi: NgiyiNkosi.
3 'Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him — even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I [am] Jehovah.
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 'Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issue — of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out 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 cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness —
kumbe loba ngubani othinta loba yiyiphi into ehuquzelayo, angcoliswa yiyo, kumbe umuntu angcoliswa nguye, ngakho konke ukungcola kwakhe,
6 the person who cometh against it — hath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed his flesh with water,
umuntu othinta lokhu uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe, angadli okwezinto ezingcwele ngaphandle kokuthi ageze umzimba wakhe ngamanzi.
7 and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it [is] his food;
Nxa selitshonile ilanga uzahlambuluka; lemva kwalokho angadla okwezinto ezingcwele, ngoba kuyikudla kwakhe.
8 a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I [am] Jehovah.
Ingcuba lokudatshuliweyo kangakudli ukuzingcolisa ngakho. NgiyiNkosi.
9 'And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I [am] Jehovah sanctifying them.
Ngakho bazagcina umlayo wami, ukuze bangathwali isono ngawo, bafele kuso, sebewungcolisile. NgiyiNkosi ebangcwelisayo.
10 'And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing;
Njalo kakho owemzini ozakudla into engcwele. Ohlala lompristi loyisisebenzi esiqhatshiweyo kangadli into engcwele.
11 and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do eat of his bread.
Kodwa uba umpristi ethenga umuntu eyintengo yemali yakhe, yena angadla okwayo, lozelwe emzini wakhe, bona bangadla okokudla kwakhe.
12 'And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, — she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat;
Lendodakazi yompristi, uba isiba ngeyendoda yemzini, yona kayingadli okomnikelo wezinto ezingcwele.
13 and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as [in] her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat of it.
Kodwa indodakazi yompristi, nxa ingumfelokazi loba ingelahliweyo ingelanzalo, isibuyele emzini kayise njengebutsheni bayo, izakudla okokudla kukayise; kanti kakho owemzini ongadla kukho.
14 'And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing;
Njalo nxa umuntu esidla into engcwele ngokungazi, uzakwengezelela kuyo ingxenye yesihlanu yayo, anike umpristi into engcwele.
15 and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel — that which they lift up to Jehovah,
Njalo kabayikungcolisa izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli abaziphakamisela iNkosi,
16 nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.'
babenze bathwale ububi becala, lapho besidla izinto zabo ezingcwele; ngoba ngiyiNkosi ebangcwelisayo.
17 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
18 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;
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 at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;
ukuze lemukeleke, iduna elingelasici, elezinkomo, elezimvu, loba elembuzi.
20 nothing in which [is] blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.
Linganikeli loba ngakuphi okulesici kukho, ngoba kakuyikwemukeleka kini.
21 'And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;
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 maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed — ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.
Eziyiziphofu, kumbe ezephukileyo, kumbe eziyizilima, kumbe ezilensumpa, kumbe eziloqweqwe, kumbe ezilamathumba, linganikeli lezi eNkosini, futhi linganikeli kulezi umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo eNkosini phezu kwelathi.
23 'As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed — a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.
Kodwa inkunzi loba imvu elesitho eselulekileyo kumbe esidundubeleyo lingayinikela ibe ngumnikelo wesihle; kodwa kayiyikwemukeleka ukuba ngeyesithembiso.
24 As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing — ye do not bring [it] near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.
Njalo linganikeli eNkosini okuhluzukileyo kumbe okugxotshiweyo loba okudatshuliweyo loba okuqunyiweyo; lingakwenzi elizweni lakini.
25 And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not pleasing for you.'
Ngokuvela esandleni sowemzini linganikeli isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wenu okuvela kuzo zonke lezi; ngoba ukonakala kwazo kukuzo, isici sikuzo, kaziyikwemukeleka kini.
26 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
27 'When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah;
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 but an ox or sheep — it and its young one, ye do not slaughter in one day.
Kodwa inkomokazi loba imvukazi lingayihlabi lomntwana wayo ngasuku lunye.
29 'And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice,
Njalo nxa lihlabela iNkosi umhlatshelo wokubonga, lizawuhlaba ukuze lemukeleke.
30 on that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till morning; I [am] Jehovah;
Uzadliwa ngalolosuku, lingatshiyi okwawo kuze kube sekuseni. NgiyiNkosi.
31 and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah;
Ngakho gcinani imilayo yami, liyenze. NgiyiNkosi.
32 and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying you,
Njalo lingeyisi ibizo lami elingcwele, kodwa ngizangcweliswa phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. NgiyiNkosi elingcwelisayo,
33 who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] Jehovah.'
eyalikhupha elizweni leGibhithe ukuze ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu. NgiyiNkosi.
