Mose 4 17
1 Emegbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ele be toawo ƒe kplɔla ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ atikplɔ si dzi wòŋlɔ eƒe ŋkɔ ɖo la vɛ na wò.
“Tshela abako-Israyeli ukuthi bakuphe intonga ezilitshumi lambili, kuphume ibenye kumkhokheli munye ngamunye wesizwana sabokhokho bakhe. Bhala ibizo lendoda ngayinye entongeni yayo.
3 Ele be Aron ƒe ŋkɔ nanɔ Levi ƒe viwo ƒe to la tɔ dzi.
Entongeni kaLevi uzabhala ibizo lika-Aroni, ngoba kumele kube lentonga eyodwa emele inhloko inye ngayinye yesizwana sabokhokho bayo.
4 Tsɔ atikplɔ siawo da ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe xɔ emetɔ me, afi si medoa go wò le, le nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ.
Zifake ethenteni lokuhlangana phambi komtshokotsho wobufakazi, lapho engihlangana lawe khona.
5 Mawɔ atikplɔ siawo ŋu dɔ be made dzesi ame si metia, elabena amea ƒe atikplɔ azu ati gbagbe, eye wòadze! Ekema Israelviwo ƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ ɖe mia ŋu nu atso!’”
Intonga yendoda engizayikhetha izahluma, njalo mina ngizahle ngikuqede lokhu kukhonona okulokhu kuqhubeka kusolwa wena ngabako-Israyeli.”
6 Ale Mose gblɔ nya la na Israelviwo. Kplɔlawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, ame siwo dome Aron hã nɔ la, tsɔ atikplɔ ɖeka vɛ.
Ngakho uMosi wakhuluma kwabako-Israyeli, abakhokheli babo bamnika intonga ezilitshumi lambili, ngayinye ingeyomkhokheli wesizwana sabokhokho bakhe, kwathi leka-Aroni yayibalelwa kuzo.
7 Mose tsɔ atikplɔawo da ɖe Yehowa ŋkume le agbadɔ la ƒe xɔ emetɔ me.
UMosi wabeka intonga lezo phambi kukaThixo ethenteni lobufakazi.
8 Esi ŋu ke wòyi la, ekpɔ be Aron ƒe atikplɔ si nye Levi ƒe to la tɔ la dze, eye seƒoƒowo de asi keke me le eŋu!
Ngosuku olulandelayo uMosi wangena ethenteni lobufakazi wabona ukuthi intonga ka-Aroni eyayimele indlu kaLevi, yayisihlumile yaqhakaza, isilamaluba njalo isithele izithelo ze-alimondi.
9 Esi Mose kɔ atikplɔawo tso Yehowa ƒe ŋkume do goe va fia Israelviwo la, wotsi yaa kple dzimaxɔse! Ame sia ame xɔ eƒe atikplɔ negbe Aron ko.
Ngakho uMosi wazisusa zonke intonga phambi kukaThixo waziletha phambi kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli. Bazikhangela, ngulowo wathatha eyakhe intonga.
10 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be wòatsɔ Aron ƒe atikplɔ la ada ɖe nubablaɖaka la xa, wòanɔ afi ma tegbetegbe be wòaɖo ŋku aglãdzedze sia dzi na ameawo. Ne ame aɖe galĩ liʋĩliʋĩ tso Aron ƒe nɔƒe ŋu la, ekema ele be Mose nahe atikplɔ la do goe, atsɔ afia ameawo. Nu sia ana be dzɔgbevɔ̃e bubu magava ameawo dzi o.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Buyisela intonga ka-Aroni phambi komtshokotsho wobufakazi, igcinwe khonapho ibe yisibonakaliso kulabo abahlamukayo. Lokhu kuzaqeda ukukhonona kwabo ngami, ukuze bangafi.”
11 Ale Mose wɔ nu siwo Yehowa ɖo nɛ.
UMosi wenza khona lokho kanye uThixo ayemlaye ngakho.
12 Israelviwo gblɔ na Mose be, “Míaku! Míebu, mí katã míebu!
Abako-Israyeli bathi kuMosi, “Sizakufa! Sifile, sonke sesifile!
13 Ame sia ame si ate ɖe Yehowa ƒe agbadɔ la ŋu la, aku. Ɖe mí katã míele kuku gea?”
Loba ngubani ozasondela phansi kwethabanikeli likaThixo uzakufa. Sizakufa sonke na?”
