28 A o ke koena o ka poe kanaka, o na kahuna, o na Levi, o ka poe kiaipuka, o ka poe mele, o ka poe Netini, a me ka poe a pau i hookaawaleia ae la mailoko mai o na lahuikanaka o na aina a ma ke kanawai o ke Akua, ka lakou poe wahine, o ka lakou poe keikikane a me ka lakou poe kaikamahine, ka poe a pau e hiki ia lakou ke ike a e hoomaopopo hoi;
Inengi labantu, abaphristi, abaLevi, abalindimasango, abahlabeleli, lezinceku zethempeli labo bonke abazehlukanisayo ebantwini bezizwe ngenxa yoMthetho kaNkulunkulu, kanye lamakhosikazi abo lamadodana lamadodakazi abo ayeseqedisisa
29 Hoopili mai la lakou i ko lakou mau hoahanau, i na luna o lakou, a hoohiki iho la me ka hoopaa loa ana e hele ma ke kanawai o ke Akua, ka mea i haawiia mai ma ka lima o Mose ke kauwa a ke Akua, a e malama a e hana i na kauoha a pau a Iehova ko kakou Haku, a me kana mau olelo kupaa a me kona mau kapu;
bonke bahlanganyela labafowabo ababeyizikhulu, ukuzibopha ngesiqalekiso langesifungo ukuwulandela uMthetho kaNkulunkulu owanikwa ngoMosi inceku kaNkulunkulu lokulalela kuhle yonke imilayo, leziqondiso lezimemezelo zikaThixo iNkosi yethu.
30 A i haawi ole aku makou i ka makou mau kaikamahine i na lahuikanaka o ka aina, a i lawe ole hoi makou i ka lakou mau kaikamahine na na keikikane a makou:
Sithembisa ukuthi kasiyikwendisa amadodakazi ethu ebantwini esakhelene labo loba sithathele amadodana ethu amadodakazi abo.
31 A ina e halihali mai na kanaka e i na mea kalepa, a i kekahi ai paha, i ka la Sabati e kuai, aole makou e lawe i ka lakou i ka Sabati, i ka la hoano; a i ka hiku o ka makahiki e hooki makou i kela aie keia aie me ka hookaa ole ia mai.
Nxa labo esakhelene labo beletha impahla kumbe amabele okuthengiswa ngeSabatha, kasiyikuthenga kubo ngeSabatha loba ngaliphi ilanga elingcwele. Kuwo wonke umnyaka wesikhombisa sizayekela amasimu ethu alaluke njalo sizacitsha zonke izikwelede.
32 A kau iho la makou maluna o makou iho i na kanawai e auhau ia makou iho i ka hapakolu o ka sekela i kela makahiki i keia makahiki no ka oihana o ka hale o ko makou Akua;
Siyazethesa umlandu wokugcwalisa umlayo wokupha okwesithathu kweshekeli ngomnyaka okomsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu:
33 No ka berena hoike a me ka mohai makana mau a me ka mohaikuni mau, no na Sabati, no na mahina hou, no na ahaaina i oleloia'i, a no na mea laa, a no na mohaihala e uhi ai i ka hala no ka Iseraela, a no na oihana a pau o ka hale o ko makou Akua.
okwesinkwa esibekwe etafuleni; okomnikelo wenjayelo owamabele lowokutshiswa; okweminikelo yamaSabatha, eyamadili okuThwasa kweNyanga leminye imikhosi emisiweyo; eyiminikelo engcwele, iminikelo yesono yokubuyisana eka-Israyeli; leyayo yonke imilandu yendlini kaNkulunkulu.
34 A hailona iho la makou, o ka poe kahuna, na Levi a me ka poe kanaka, ma ko ka hale o ko makou poe kupuna, no ka haawi ana mai i ka wahie e lawe mai ma ka hale o ko makou Akua, i na manawa i oleloia'i, i kela makahiki i keia makahiki, i mea puhi maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova ko makou Akua, e like me ka mea i kakauia'i iloko o ke kanawai;
Thina abaphristi, abaLevi labantu sesenze inkatho ukubona ukuthi yiphi imuli emele ilethe inkuni ngasiphi isikhathi endlini kaNkulunkulu ezokutshiswa e-alithareni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni.
35 A e lawe mai i na mea i ohi mua ia o ko makou aina, a me na mea i ohi mua ia o kela hua keia hua o na laau a pau, i kela makahiki keia makahiki, ma ka hale o Iehova:
Njalo sizethesa umlandu wokuletha endlini kaThixo umnyaka ngomnyaka izithelo zakuqala zamabele ethu lokwezithelo zonke zezihlahla.
36 A me na hiapo o ka makou poe keikikane, a me ka makou poe holoholona, e like me ka mea i kakauia'i iloko o ke kanawai, a me na mea hanau mua o ka makou poe bipi a me ka makou ohana hipa, e lawe mai no ma ka hale o ko kakou Akua, i na kahuna e lawelawe ana ma ka hale o ko kakou Akua;
Njengoba kulotshiwe njalo eMthethweni, sizaletha amazibulo amadodana ethu, awenkomo zethu, lawemihlambi yethu yezimvu endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu, kubaphristi abasebenza khona.
37 A i lawe makou i kauwahi hana mua ia o ka makou palaoa kawiliia, a me na makana a makou, a me ka hua o kela laau o keia laau, ka waina a me ka aila, i na kahuna ma na keena o ka hale o ko kakou Akua; a me ka hapa umi o ka makou mahina ai i na Levi, a na lakou no, na na Levi ka hapa umi ma na kulanakauhale a pau o ko makou mahi ana.
Futhi njalo, sizaletha okuya eziphaleni zasendlini kaNkulunkulu, kubaphristi, okokuqala kwempuphu yethu, okweminikelo yamabele ethu, izithelo zezihlahla zethu zonke lewayini lethu elitsha kanye lamafutha. Njalo sizaletha okwetshumi okwamabele ethu kubaLevi, ngoba ngabaLevi abaqoqa okwetshumi kuwo wonke amadolobho esisebenza kuwo.
38 A o ke kahuna, ka mamo a Aarona, oia pu kekahi me na Levi i ka lawe ana o na Levi i ka hapa umi; a e halihali mai na Levi i ka hapa umi o ka hapa umi ma ka hale o ko kakou Akua ma na keena iloko o ka hale waihona waiwai.
Umphristi odabuka ku-Aroni kaphelekezele abaLevi besamukela okwetshumi, njalo abaLevi kumele balethe okwetshumi okomnikelo wetshumi kuze endlini kaNkulunkulu, eziphaleni eziqondane lesikhwama.
39 No ka mea, e lawe no ka Iseraela a me na Levi i ka hookupu ana o ka ai, o ka waina a me ka aila ma na keena, a malaila no na ipu o ka luakini, a me na kahuna nana e lawelawe, a me ka poe kiaipuka, a me ka poe mele: aole makou e haalele i ka hale o ko kakou Akua.
Abantu bako-Israyeli, kanye labaLevi, bamele balethe iminikelo yabo yamabele, iwayini elitsha lamafutha eziphaleni lapho okugcinwa khona impahla zendlu engcwele, njalo lapho okuhlala khona abaphristi abasebenzayo labalindimasango labahlabeleli. “Kasiyikuyidela indlu kaNkulunkulu.”
