Na Helu 18
1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, Maluna iho ou a mo au mau keiki, a me ka ohana a kou kupuna e ili ai ka hewa o ke keenakapu; a maluna iho ou a me au mau keiki e ili ai ka hewa o ka oihanakahuna.
INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Wena lamadodana akho lendlu kayihlo kanye lawe lizathwala ububi bendlu engcwele; futhi wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizathwala ububi bobupristi benu.
2 A o kou poe hoahanau hoi o ka ohana a Levi, ka ohana a ou kupunakane, o lakou kau e lawe pu ai me oe, i hui pu ia'i me oe, a e lawelawo lakou na'u: aka o oe a me kau mau keiki me oe, imua o ka halelewa o ke kanawai oukou.
Labafowenu, isizwe sakoLevi, isizwe sikayihlo, basondeze-ke lawe ukuze bahlanganiswe lawe, bakusize. Kodwa wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizakuba phambi kwethente lobufakazi.
3 A e malama lakou i kau oihana a me ka oihana o ka halelewa a pau: aole nae lakou e hele mai a kokoke i na ipu o ke keenakapu, a i ke kuahu, i ole ai lakou e make, aole hoi oukou.
Bazagcina umlayo wakho, lemfanelo zethente lonke; kodwa kabayikusondela ezitsheni zendlu engcwele lelathini, ukuze bangafi, labo lani.
4 A e hui pu ia lakou me oe, a e malama lakou i ka oihana o ka halelewa o ke anaina, no ka hana a pau o ka halelewa: aole no e hele mai ke kanaka e, a kokoke io oukou la.
Bazahlanganiswa lawe, bagcine imfanelo zethente lenhlangano kuyo yonke inkonzo yethente; kodwa owemzini kayikusondela kini.
5 A e malama oukou i ka oihana o ke keenakapu a me ka oihana o ke kuahu; i kau hou ole ai ka inaina maluna o na mamo a Ise-raela,
Njalo lizagcina imfanelo zendlu engcwele lemfanelo zelathi, ukuze kungabi kusaba khona ulaka phezu kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
6 A owau nei la, ua lawe no wau i ko oukou poe hoahanau o na Levi, maiwaena mai o na mamo a Iseraela: ua haawiia lakou no oukou, i haawina no Iehova, e lawelawe i ka hana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina.
Mina-ke, khangelani, ngithethe abafowenu amaLevi bevela phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Bayisipho kini, baphiwe iNkosi ukwenza inkonzo yethente lenhlangano.
7 Nolaila la, e malama oe a me au mau keiki me oe i ka oukou oihanakahuna no na mea a pau o ke kuahu, a maloko o ka paku: a e malama oukou; ua haawi aku au na oukou i ka oihanakahuna i oihana i haawi lokomaikai ia; a o ke kanaka e ae e hele wale mai a kokoke, e make ia.
Ngakho wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizagcina ubupristi benu kuzo zonke izinto zelathi laphakathi kweveyili, likhonze. Nginike ubupristi benu bube ngumsebenzi wesipho; kodwa owemzini osondelayo uzabulawa.
8 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au ia oe i ka malama i ka'u mau mohaihoali, o na mea laa a pau a na mamo a Iseraela; ua haawi aku au ia mau mea nau, i kuleana nau a na kau mau keiki, ma ke kanawai mau loa.
INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Mina-ke, khangela, ngikunike ukuphathwa kweminikelo yami yokuphakanyiswa yazo zonke izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli; ngiziphe wena, ngenxa yokugcotshwa, lamadodana akho, ngesimiso esilaphakade.
9 O keia no kau no na mea laa loa, mai ke ahi mai: o na mohaimakana a pau a lakou, o na mohaiai a pau a lakou, o na mohaihala a pau a lakou, a o na mohailaweluila a lakou, na mea a lakou e haawi mai ai ia'u, e laa loa ia nau a na kau poe keiki.
Lokhu kuzakuba ngokwakho okuvela ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele, zivela emlilweni; yonke iminikelo yabo, yonke iminikelo yabo yokudla, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yesono, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yecala, abazayibuyisela kimi; izakuba ngengcwelengcwele ibe ngeyakho leyamadodana akho.
10 Ma kahi hoano loa oe e ai ai ia mea: o na kane a pau e ai iho ia: he mea laa ia nau.
Lizakudlela engcweleni yezingcwele; wonke owesilisa uzakudla; kuzakuba ngcwele kuwe.
11 Oia no nau; o ka mohaikaikai a lakou e haawi mai ai, a me na mohaihoali a pau a na mamo a Iseraela; ua haawi aku au ia mau mea nau, a na kau poe keikikane a me kau poe kaikamahine me oe ma ke kanawai mau loa; o ka poe maemae a pau iloko o kou hale, o lakou ke ai ia mea.
Lalokhu ngokwakho: Umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesipho sabo, layo yonke iminikelo yokuzunguzwa yabantwana bakoIsrayeli; ngikuphe wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho, ngesimiso esilaphakade. Wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uzakudla.
12 O kahi momona a pau o ka aila, me kahi momona a pau o ka waina, a o ka palaoa, o na hua mua o ia mau mea, na mea a lakou e mohai iho ai na Iehova, oia mau mea ka'u i haawi aku ai nau.
Ikhethelo lonke lamafutha, lekhethelo lonke lewayini elitsha, lelamabele, lengqabutho yalezo abazazinikela eNkosini, ngiziphe wena.
13 O na mea a pau i oo mua ma ka aina, a lakou e lawe mai ai na Iehova, o kau ia; o ka poe a pau i maemae ma kou hale, e ai lakou ia.
Izithelo zokuqala zakho konke okuselizweni labo abazakuletha eNkosini kuzakuba ngokwakho. Wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uzakudla.
14 O na mea a pau iloko o ka Iseraela i hoolaaia, nau no ia.
Konke okwehlukanisiweyo koIsrayeli kuzakuba ngokwakho.
15 O kela hiapo keia hiapo a na mea io a pau, a ke kanaka a me ka holoholona, na mea a lakou e lawe mai ai na Iehova, nau no lakou: aka, e panai aku oe i ka hiapo a kanaka, a o ka hanau mua a na holoholona maemae ole kau e panai ai.
Konke okuvula isizalo, kwayo yonke inyama abakuletha eNkosini, phakathi kwabantu laphakathi kwezifuyo, kuzakuba ngokwakho; kodwa izibulo lomuntu uzalihlenga lokulihlenga, lezibulo lenyamazana engcolileyo uzalihlenga.
16 A o na mea e pono ke panai ia, mai ka malama hookahi o ka hanau ana kau e panai ai, ma kou manao ana, e like me na sekela elima, ma ka sekela o ke keenakapu, oia hoi na gera ho iwakalua.
Lalezo ezizahlengwa uzazihlenga kusukela sezilenyanga, njengesilinganiso sakho, ngemali yamashekeli amahlanu, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, elingamagera angamatshumi amabili.
17 Aka, o ka hiapo a ka bipi, a o ka hiapo a ka hi pa, a o ka hiapo a ke kao paha, mai panai oe, ua laa ia mau mea; e pipi oe i ko lakou koko maluna o ke kuahu, a e puhi i ko lakou momona i mohai ma ke ahi, i mea ala ono no Iehova.
Kodwa izibulo lenkomo, kumbe izibulo lemvu, kumbe izibulo lembuzi, awuyikuwahlenga, angcwele. Uzafafaza igazi lawo phezu kwelathi, utshise amahwahwa awo, abe ngumnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, kube luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
18 A o ka io o ia mau mea, nau no ia, e like me ka umauma hoali a me ka uha mua akau, nau no ia.
Lenyama yawo izakuba ngeyakho, njengesifuba esizunguziweyo lanjengomlenze wokunene, kuzakuba ngokwakho.
19 O na mohaikaikai a pau no na mea laa, na mea a na mamo a Iseraela e kaumaha ai na Iehova, oia ka'u i haawi aku ai nau, a na kau poe keikikane a me na kaikamahine me oe, ma ke kanawai mau loa: he berita paakai mau loa ia imua o Iehova nou, a no kau hua me oe.
Yonke iminikelo yokuphakanyiswa yezinto ezingcwele abantwana bakoIsrayeli abayinikela eNkosini ngiyinike wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho kanye lawe, ngesimiso esilaphakade. Kuyisivumelwano setswayi esilaphakade phambi kweNkosi kuwe lakunzalo yakho kanye lawe.
20 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Aarona, Aohe ou aina hooilina ma ko lakou aina, aohe hoi kuleana ou iwaena o lakou: owau no kou kuleana a me kou hooilina iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Kawuyikudla ilifa elizweni labo, kawuyikuba lesabelo phakathi kwabo; ngiyisabelo sakho lelifa lakho phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
21 Aia hoi, ua haawi aku no wau no na mamo a Levi i ka hapaumi iloko o ka Iseraela, i hooilina no ka hana a lakou e hana'i, oia ka hana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina kanaka.
Khangela-ke, nginike abantwana bakoLevi konke okwetshumi koIsrayeli kube yilifa, ngomsebenzi wabo abawenzayo, inkonzo yethente lenhlangano.
22 Aole hoi e hele mai na mamo a Iseraela a kokoke i ka halelewa o ke anaina ma keia hope aku, o lawehala lakou e make ai.
Njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bangabe besasondela ethenteni lenhlangano hlezi bathwale isono bafe.
23 Aka, e hana na Levi i ka oihana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, a e lawe lakou i ko lakou hewa iho. He kanawai mau loa ma na hanauna o oukou, aohe o lakou aina hooili iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
Kodwa amaLevi azakwenza inkonzo yethente lenhlangano, wona athwale ububi bawo. Kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu; laphakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kawayikuzuza ilifa.
24 Aka, o ka hapaumi o ka na mamo a Iseraela, o La mea a lakou e kaumaha ai i mohaikaikai na Iehova, oia ka'u i haawi aku ai ua na Levi i mea hooili: nolaila ka'u i olelo aku ai ia lakou, Aohe o lakou aina hooili iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
Ngoba okwetshumi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abakunikela eNkosini kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa, ngikunike amaLevi kube yilifa. Ngakho ngitshilo kiwo ukuthi phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kawayikuzuza ilifa.
25 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la.
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
26 Penei e olelo aku ai i na Levi, e i aku ia lakou, Aia lawe oukou i ka hapaumi mai na mamo a Iseraela aku, i ka mea a'u i haawi aku ai na oukou mai o lakou mai, i hooilina no oukou, alaila, e kaumaha aku ai oukou i ka mohaikaikai noloko mai o ia mea, na Iehova, i hookahi hapaumi o ua hapaumi la.
Futhi uzakhuluma kumaLevi uthi kuwo: Nxa lithatha ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli okwetshumi engilinike khona, kuvela kubo kube yilifa lenu, lizanikela kokwakho umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kube ngokwetshumi kwalokho okwetshumi.
27 A e hooliloia ka oukou mohaikaikai no oukou e like me ka palaoa no ke kahua hehi palaoa, a me ka piha ana o ka waihona waina.
Lomnikelo wenu wokuphakanyiswa uzabalelwa lina, njengamabele ebala lokubhulela lanjengokugcwala kwesikhamelo sewayini.
28 Pela no hoi oukou e kanmaha ai i mohaikaikai na Iehova, noloko mai o na hapaumi a pau o oukou, i loaa ia oukou na na mamo a Iseraela mai; a noloko o keia mea ka oukou e haawi ai i ka mohaikaikai a Iehova na Aarona ke kahuna.
Ngalokhu lani lizanikela umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi kukho konke okwetshumi kwenu elikwemukelayo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli; lizanika kokwayo umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kuAroni umpristi.
29 Noloko mai o ka oukou mau haawina a pau e kaumaha aku ai oukou i na mohaikaikai a pau a Iehova, noloko mai o kahi momona a pau o ia mea, o kahi laa ona, noloko o ia wahi.
Kuzo zonke izipho zenu lizanikela wonke umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi; ekhethelweni lonke lazo, ingxenye yayo engcwelisiweyo evela kuyo.
30 Nolaila, e olelo aku ai oe ia lakou, Aia hookaawale ae oukou i kahi momona ona mai ia mea aku, alaila, e hooliloia no na Levi e like me ka mea i loaa o ke kahua hehi palaoa, a me ka mea i loaa o ka waihona waina.
Futhi uzakuthi kuwo: Lapho linikela ikhethelo lazo elivela kuzo, kuzabalelwa amaLevi njengesivuno sebala lokubhulela lanjengesivuno sesikhamelo sewayini.
31 A e ai oukou ia mea ma kela wahi keia wahi, o oukou a me ko na hale o oukou, no ka mea, o ka oukou uku keia no ka oukou hana ana ma ka halelewa o ke anaina.
Lizakudla lokho endaweni zonke, lina lendlu yenu, ngoba kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu ethenteni lenhlangano.
32 Aole hoi oukou e lawe i ka hewa no ia mea, ia oukou i hookaawale ai i kahi momona o ia mea: aole no hoi oukou e hoohaumia i ua mea laa o na mamo a Iseraela, o make oukou.
Njalo kaliyikuthwala isono ngenxa yakho, lapho seliphakamisile ikhethelo lakho kukho; kaliyikungcolisa izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuze lingafi.
