1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Arĩria andũ a Isiraeli, wĩtie thanju ikũmi na igĩrĩ, rũmwe kuuma kũrĩ o mũtongoria wa mĩhĩrĩga ya maithe mao. Andĩka rĩĩtwa rĩa o mũndũ rũthanju-inĩ rwake.
“Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo akupatse ndodo khumi ndi ziwiri, imodzi kuchokera kwa mtsogoleri wa fuko lililonse. Ulembe dzina la munthu aliyense pa ndodo yake.
3 Rũthanju rwa Lawi ũrwandĩke rĩĩtwa rĩa Harũni, nĩ ũndũ no nginya kũgĩe na rũthanju rũmwe rwa mũtongoria wa o mũhĩrĩga wa maithe mao ma tene.
Pa ndodo ya Levi ulembepo dzina la Aaroni, chifukwa pafunika ndodo imodzi ya mtsogoleri pa fuko lililonse.
4 Igaai thanju icio thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo hau mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, harĩa ndũnganaga nawe.
Uyike ndodozo mu tenti ya msonkhano, kutsogolo kwa Bokosi la Umboni, kumene ndimakumana nawe.
5 Rũthanju rwa mũndũ ũrĩa niĩ ngaathuura nĩrũgũthundũka, na niĩ ndĩyehererie kũnuguna gũkũ ũnugunagĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ andũ a Isiraeli.”
Ndodo ya munthu amene ndamusankha idzachita maluwa potero ndidzaletsa madandawulo osatha a Aisraeli otsutsana nawe.”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩarĩria andũ a Isiraeli, nao atongoria ao makĩmũnengera thanju ikũmi na igĩrĩ, o rũmwe kuuma mũtongoria wa o mũhĩrĩga wa maithe mao ma tene, naruo rũthanju rwa Harũni rwarĩ hamwe nacio.
Choncho Mose anayankhula ndi Aisraeli, ndipo atsogoleri awo anapereka ndodo khumi ndi ziwiri, imodzi kuchokera kwa mtsogoleri wa fuko lililonse ndipo ndodo ya Aaroni inali pakati pa ndodo zawozo.
7 Nake Musa akĩiga thanju icio mbere ya Jehova kũu Hema-inĩ-ya-Ũira.
Mose anayika ndodozo pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano.
8 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ-rĩ, Musa agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Ũira akĩona atĩ rũthanju rwa Harũni, rũrĩa rwarũgamĩrĩire nyũmba ya Lawi, to gũthundũra rwathundũrĩte, no nĩ rwathuunĩte rũkaruta kĩro, na rũgaciara ndothi.
Pa tsiku lotsatira Mose analowa mu tenti ya msonkhanoyo ndipo anaona kuti ndodo ya Aaroni, yomwe inkayimira fuko la Levi, sinangophuka masamba chabe, komanso inachita maluwa nʼkubala zipatso za alimondi.
9 Nake Musa akĩruta thanju icio nja, kuuma hau mbere ya Jehova, agĩciiga mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli othe. Nao magĩcirora, o mũndũ akĩoya rũthanju rwake mwene.
Choncho Mose anatulutsa ndodo zonse pamaso pa Yehova napita nazo kwa Aisraeli onse. Iwowo anaziona ndipo munthu aliyense anatenga ndodo yake.
10 Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Cookia rũthanju rwa Harũni hau mbere ya Ithandũkũ rĩa Ũira, rũigwo rũrĩ kĩmenyithia kũrĩ andũ acio aremi. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũkaaniina kũnuguna kwao kũrĩ niĩ, nĩgeetha matigakue.”
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Bwezera ndodo ya Aaroni patsogolo pa Bokosi la Umboni, kuti chikhale chizindikiro cha kuwukira kwawo. Zimenezi zidzathetsa kudandaula kwawo kotsutsana nane, kuopa kuti angafe.”
11 Nake Musa agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte.
Mose anachita monga Yehova anamulamulira.
12 Andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgũkua! Ithuothe nĩtũũrĩte!
Aisraeli anati kwa Mose, “Tikufa! Tatayika, tonse tatayika!
13 Mũndũ o wothe o na ũngĩkuhĩrĩria Hema-ĩyo-Nyamũre ya Jehova nĩegũkua. Kaĩ tũgũgĩkua ithuothe?”
Aliyense woyandikira chihema adzafa. Kodi ndiye kuti tonse tikufa?”
