4 Mose 18

1 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Aronina asami'ne, Kagrane Livae naga'mo'zane mofavre nagakamo'zanema ruotage'ma hu'nea seli mono noni'afima pristi eri'zama eriso'ema osnazana, kna'a tamagra'a erigahaze.

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 Hagi tamafuhe'i Livae nagara zamavareta enke'za, tamagrane erimago hu'za tamaza hanageta seli mono nomofo avuga eri'zana eriho.

Labafowenu, isizwe sakoLevi, isizwe sikayihlo, basondeze-ke lawe ukuze bahlanganiswe lawe, bakusize. Kodwa wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizakuba phambi kwethente lobufakazi.

3 Hagi zamagra maka tamagrama zamisaza eri'za e'neri'za, seli mono nomofo eri'zana eriho. Hianagi ruotage'ma hu'nea zantaminte'ene, kresramna vu itarera erava'o osiho. Hagi erava'oma hanazana tamagrane, zmagranena frigahaze.

Bazagcina umlayo wakho, lemfanelo zethente lonke; kodwa kabayikusondela ezitsheni zendlu engcwele lelathini, ukuze bangafi, labo lani.

4 Livae vahe'mo'zage seli mono nompina eri'zana tamaza hu'za eriho. Hianagi ru vahe'mo'za erava'o osuge, eri'zana tamaza hu'za e'origahaze.

Bazahlanganiswa lawe, bagcine imfanelo zethente lenhlangano kuyo yonke inkonzo yethente; kodwa owemzini kayikusondela kini.

5 Hagi kagrake seli mono nompi eri'zane, kresramna vu itare'enena eri'zana erigahane. E'inahukna hanankeno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'mota arimpa aheoramantegahie.

Njalo lizagcina imfanelo zendlu engcwele lemfanelo zelathi, ukuze kungabi kusaba khona ulaka phezu kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

6 Hagi ko, Nagra'a Israeli vahepintira Livae nagara zamavare'na mago museza zamiaza hu'na negamina, zamazeri ruotage huge'za seli mono nompina eri'zana e'nerize.

Mina-ke, khangelani, ngithethe abafowenu amaLevi bevela phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Bayisipho kini, baphiwe iNkosi ukwenza inkonzo yethente lenhlangano.

7 Hianagi kagrane mofavreka'aramine pristi eri'zane, kresramna vu itare'ene, hunagru'ma hu'nefinka eri'zana erigahaze. Hagi muse'za tamiankna hu'na pristi eri'zana tami'noanki, ru vahe'mo'zama seli mono nomofo tavaonte'ma erava'oma hanazana zamahe friho.

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 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno mago'ane Aronina asmi'ne, Veamo'zama ofama eri'za esaza ofaramina kegavama hu eri'zana, kagri kamuankinka ruotage'ma hu'nea ofama Israeli vahe'mo'za eri'za esazana kagri'ene mofavre zagaka'ane tamamuankita anampintira tamagra'a suzana maka kna erigahaze.

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 Ama'i ruotage'ma hu'nea ofama tevefima negrenka atresanama'ane, muse ofane, witi ofane, kumizmire'ma hu ofane, hazenke'ma hu'nesaza zante'ma hu ofama eri'za eme namisazana, ruotage hu'neakino kagri'ene mofavre nagakamofo su'a megahie.

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 E'i ruotage hu'nea ofagita kagrane, ne' mofavre nagakamo'zane ruotage hu'ne hutma nentahita negahaze.

Lizakudlela engcweleni yezingcwele; wonke owesilisa uzakudla; kuzakuba ngcwele kuwe.

11 Hagi eri verave hu ofama Israeli vahe'mo'zama eri'zama esaza ofa kagri'ene ne'mofaka'ane miko nagaka'ane zamue. Hagi ana ne'zana, Nagri navure'ma agruma hu'nesaza nagakamo'zage negahaze.

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 Hagi maka knare'ma hu'nea olivi masavene, knare'ma hu'nea wainine, knare'ma hu'nea witine, ese ne'zama hamare'za Ra Anumzamo'na eme namisazana, kagri kamue.

Ikhethelo lonke lamafutha, lekhethelo lonke lewayini elitsha, lelamabele, lengqabutho yalezo abazazinikela eNkosini, ngiziphe wena.

13 Hagi ese ne'zama afumaresige'za eri'za esazana, agruma hu'nesaza nagaka'amozage negahaze.

Izithelo zokuqala zakho konke okuselizweni labo abazakuletha eNkosini kuzakuba ngokwakho. Wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uzakudla.

14 Maka'zama Ra Anumzamo'nama nami'nesaza zana, amne kagra erigahane.

Konke okwehlukanisiweyo koIsrayeli kuzakuba ngokwakho.

15 Hagi ese mofavre'ma Israeli vahe'mozo, zagagafamo'zama kasentesage'za, Ra Anumzamonare ofa eme namisazana kagri'za megahie. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zane zmagonesa mofavrene, agruma osu'nesia zagagafarera nona hu'za mizaseza avreho.

Konke okuvula isizalo, kwayo yonke inyama abakuletha eNkosini, phakathi kwabantu laphakathi kwezifuyo, kuzakuba ngokwakho; kodwa izibulo lomuntu uzalihlenga lokulihlenga, lezibulo lenyamazana engcolileyo uzalihlenga.

16 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za mago ikama hu'nesia agonesa mofavrere'ma ete mizase'za zamavaresaza mizana, seli mono nompi zagomofo avamente erinte'za 5fu'a silva zagoa mizasegahaze.

Lalezo ezizahlengwa uzazihlenga kusukela sezilenyanga, njengesilinganiso sakho, ngemali yamashekeli amahlanu, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, elingamagera angamatshumi amabili.

17 Hianagi bulimakao'o, sipisipio meme afumo'zama ese kasezmantesa anentara, ruotage hu'neankino ete Israeli vahe'mo'za mizana osegahaze. Hagi kagra kresramna vu itare korazmia taginka ru tritri nehunka, afova'a tevefi kregeno, sramnamo'a kumpi marerinke'na Ra Anumzamo'na mna'a nentahina musena haneno.

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 Hagi ana ofama hu afumofo ame'a tamagri suza mesigeno, eri verave hu ofama nehaza ahihiza'ane, tamaga kaziga amo'anena tamagri su'za megahie.

Lenyama yawo izakuba ngeyakho, njengesifuba esizunguziweyo lanjengomlenze wokunene, kuzakuba ngokwakho.

19 Hagi meninteti'ma agafama huno'ma vaniana, Israeli vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamo'nare'ma eri'za esaza ofamo'a tamagri'ene, ne'mofatamimofo suza mevava hugahie. Hagi ama ana zamo'a mevava huhagerafi huvempage Nagrite'ene henkama tamagripinti fore'ma hanaza vahetera meno vugahie.

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 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Aronina amanage huno asami'ne, Israeli mopafina tamagra mago mopa erinafa'a osugahze. Tamagrama eri santima hare'nazazana Nagrake'za manigahue.

INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Kawuyikudla ilifa elizweni labo, kawuyikuba lesabelo phakathi kwabo; ngiyisabelo sakho lelifa lakho phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

21 Hagi Livae naga'nofimo'za atruma hu seli mono nompima eri'zama erisa mizana, Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevu ante'nenafinti mago kevuma namisaza zantaminteti, ana eri'zama erisarera erisantima hare'saza zana zamigahue.

Khangela-ke, nginike abantwana bakoLevi konke okwetshumi koIsrayeli kube yilifa, ngomsebenzi wabo abawenzayo, inkonzo yethente lenhlangano.

22 Hagi meninteti'ma agafama huno vaniana Israeli vahepinti'ma Livae naga'ma omaninesimo'a, atruma hu seli mono nontera uravaoa osino. Hagi urava'oma hanimo'a kumi hugahiankino, ana nona'a frigahie.

Njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bangabe besasondela ethenteni lenhlangano hlezi bathwale isono bafe.

23 Hagi Livae naga'mozage atruma hu seli mono nompina vahe kumima apasezmante eri'zana erigahaze. Hagi ama tra kemo'a mevava hugahianki'za, henkama fore'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za amage antegahaze. Hagi Israeli mopafina Livae vahe'mokizmia mopazamia omanegahie.

Kodwa amaLevi azakwenza inkonzo yethente lenhlangano, wona athwale ububi bawo. Kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu; laphakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kawayikuzuza ilifa.

24 Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'za 10ni'a kevu antenenafinti mago kevuma ofama Ra Anumzamo'na namisaza zantamina erisante'maharesaza zana zamigahue. Hagi e'i ana agafare Israeli vahepina, Livae naga'mozama erisantima haresaza mopa omanegahie.

Ngoba okwetshumi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abakunikela eNkosini kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa, ngikunike amaLevi kube yilifa. Ngakho ngitshilo kiwo ukuthi phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kawayikuzuza ilifa.

25 Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena amanage huno asami'ne,

INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

26 Kagra Livae nagara ke hunka zamasamige'za Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevu ante'nenafinti mago kevuma eri'za emema namisafintira eri'na tamagrira tamigahuanki, anampintira ete hamprinkeno 10nima hania kevua namigahaze.

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 Hagi ana ofama hanage'na, Ra Anumzamo'na nege'na, hoza tamifinti ese witi hamareta ofa haze nehu'na, wainima regatitima nehazafinti ese waini ofa nehaze hu'na hugahue.

Lomnikelo wenu wokuphakanyiswa uzabalelwa lina, njengamabele ebala lokubhulela lanjengokugcwala kwesikhamelo sewayini.

28 E'inahu kante Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevuma ante'nafinti mago kevuma eme tami'nazana refko huta Ra Anumzamo'na ofa hunantegahaze. Hagi ana ofama Ra Anumzamo'nama namisazana pristi ne' Aroni erigahie.

Ngalokhu lani lizanikela umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi kukho konke okwetshumi kwenu elikwemukelayo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli; lizanika kokwayo umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kuAroni umpristi.

29 Hagi maka musezama taminafintira knare'zantfama hu'nesiama'a Ra Anumzamo'na namigahaze.

Kuzo zonke izipho zenu lizanikela wonke umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi; ekhethelweni lonke lazo, ingxenye yayo engcwelisiweyo evela kuyo.

30 Ana hu'negu Livae nagara zamasamio, anama knare'ma hu'neama'ama ofama hanage'na, Ra Anumzamo'na nege'na, hoza tamifinti witi hamareta ofa haze nehu'na, wainima regatiti'ma nehazafinti waini ofa nehaze hu'na hugahie.

Futhi uzakuthi kuwo: Lapho linikela ikhethelo lazo elivela kuzo, kuzabalelwa amaLevi njengesivuno sebala lokubhulela lanjengesivuno sesikhamelo sewayini.

31 Hagi Livae naga'mota seli mono nompi eri'zama e'neriza zamofo mizama'agita, a'mofavre taminena inantegama ana ne'zama nenaku'ma hanarega amne negahaze.

Lizakudla lokho endaweni zonke, lina lendlu yenu, ngoba kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu ethenteni lenhlangano.

32 Hagi knare'ma hu'nesia ne'zama ofama hanuta, kumira osugahaze. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama eme tamisaza ruotage ne'zama amnezane huta eri havizama hanuta, haviza hugahazankita knazama'a tamagra'a erita frigahaze.

Njalo kaliyikuthwala isono ngenxa yakho, lapho seliphakamisile ikhethelo lakho kukho; kaliyikungcolisa izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuze lingafi.
