4 Mose 8

1 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne,

UThixo wathi kuMosi,

2 Amanage hunka Aronina asmio, 7ni'a tavi'ma retro huteno, ruotgema hunefinkama tavima tagintesigeno'a, masa'amo'a ana tavi azota'mofo avuga remsa hugahie.

“Tshono ku-Aroni uthi, ‘Nxa usumisa izibane eziyisikhombisa, kufanele zikhanyise indawo ephambi koluthi lwezibane.’”

3 Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea kante anteno Aroni'a tavi'ma retro hunte'nea tavira tagintegeno, masa'amo zota'mofo avuga remsa hutre'ne.

U-Aroni wenza njalo; wamisa izibane oluthini zikhangele phambili, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.

4 Tavi'ma rekruhu azotama tro'ma hu'nazana amana hu'naze, hama eri'za golia amasagiza lamu tavimofo zota'a tro nehu'za, azankuna'a tro nehu'za anina'anema troma hunazana, Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea kante ante'za tro nehu'za, Livae nagara zamazeri otage hu'naze.

Uluthi lwesibane lwalwenziwe ngale indlela: Lwalwenziwe ngegolide elikhandiweyo kusukela esidindini salo kusiya embaxeni zamaluba alo. Uluthi lwesibane lwenziwa lwafana xathu lalokho uThixo ayekutshengise uMosi.

5 Ru'ene Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne,

UThixo wathi kuMosi:

6 Israeli vahepintira Livae nagara zamavarenka, zamazeri agru huo.

“Yahlukanisa abaLevi kwabanye bonke abako-Israyeli ubahlambulule ngokomkhuba.

7 Hagi zamazeri agruma kagrama hananana anahu hugahane, agru hu'nesia ti erinka ru ani'ani hunezmantesanke'za, maka zamufa zamazokara resanu nehare'za, kukena zamia sese hute'za, zamagra avusese hugahaze.

Nanku ozakwenza nxa usubahlambulula: Bachele ngamanzi okuhlambulula, uthi baphuce imizimba yabo yonke njalo bagezise izigqoko zabo, bazihlambulule.

8 Ana'ma hutenagenka huge'za mago bulimakaone witi ofa zami'ne, kanenea flaua masavempi erihavia hu'nesazane ofa nehu'za, mago bulimakao kumi'ma apasezamante ofa hugahaze.

Kabathathe inkunzi eliguqa ndawonye lomnikelo wayo wamabele ayifulawa ecolekileyo exutshaniswe lamafutha; ubusuthatha inkunzi yesibili ibe ngumnikelo wesono.

9 Hagi Mosesega kehuge'za mika'a Livae vahera seli mono nonte etru nehanagenka, maka Israeli vea'ene zamazeri atru hugahane.

Letha abaLevi phambi kwethente lokuhlangana ubusubuthanisa isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli.

10 Livae nagara zamavarenka Ra Anumzamo'na navure vuge'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za Livae naga'mokizmi zamagofetu zamaza anteho.

Letha abaLevi phambi kukaThixo, abako-Israyeli babeke izandla zabo phezu kwabaLevi.

11 Aroni'a Israeli vahepinti Livae nagra Ra Anumzamofo avuga aza ante'sga huno amira amira ofama nehiaza huzmantetena, Ra Anumzamo'na eri'zana erigahaze.

U-Aroni kethule abaLevi phambi kukaThixo njengomnikelo wabako-Israyeli wokuzunguzwa, ukuze balungele ukwenza umsebenzi kaThixo.

12 Henka'a Livae naga'mo'za tare bulimakaomofo agenopare zamazana antetesage'za, mago bulimakaona kumi'apase ofa nehu'za, mago bulimakaona kresramna vanage'na Ra Anumzamo'na Livae nagara kumizmifintira mizasezmantegahue.

Nxa abaLevi sebebeke izandla zabo phezu kwamakhanda enkunzi, uzakwenza umnikelo wesono kuThixo ngenye yazo kanye lomnikelo wokutshiswa, ukwenzela abaLevi indlela yokubuyisana.

13 Hagi Livae nagara huge'za Aronine, ne'mofavre naga'ane zamuga oti'nesage'za, amira amira ofama nehazaza hu'za Ra Anumzamo'na ofa hu'za namigahaze.

Misa abaLevi phambi kuka-Aroni kanye lamadodana akhe ubethule njengomnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kukaThixo.

14 E'ina hunka Israeli vahepintira Livae nagara zamazeri otage hananke'za Nagri vahera manigahaze.

Ngalokhu uzabe usubahlukanisile abaLevi kwabanye bonke abako-Israyeli, ngakho abaLevi bazakuba ngabami.

15 Hagi anama huzmantetesunka, Livae naga'mo'za seli mono nompina eri'zana erigahazanki, zamazeri agru nehunka, kazana antesga hunka amira amira ofa huzmantegahane.

Ngemva kokuba usuhlambulule wethula abaLevi njengomnikelo wokuzunguzwa, kabeze benze umsebenzi wabo ethenteni lokuhlangana.

16 Israeli vahepinti'ma pusa ne' mofavrema antesazama onamisaza nona hu'na, Livae nagara maka Nagrani'a zamavare'noe.

Bangabako-Israyeli abaphiwe mina ngokugcweleyo. Sengibathethe baba ngabami esikhundleni samazibulo, wonke umntwana ongumfana wokuqala ozelwe ngowesifazane wako-Israyeli.

17 Hagi Isipi vahe'mokizmi zamagonesa ne'mofavrema nezmahe'na, mika'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamagonesa mofavrene, zagagafa zimimofo ese anentara Nagri suzane hu'na zamavare otage hu'noe.

Wonke amazibulo ako-Israyeli, awabantu kumbe awezinyamazana, angawami. Ngazehlukanisela wona mhla ngibulala amazibulo wonke eGibhithe.

18 Hu'neanagi menina Israeli vahe'mokizmi pusa ne'mofavre nona hu'na, Livae nagara Nagra huhampri'na zamavare'noe.

Ngakho-ke sengithethe abaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo wonke angabafana bako-Israyeli.

19 Israeli vahepintira, Livae nagara muse'zane hu'na Aronine, ne'mofavre naga'a seli mono nompi Israeli vahe'mokizmi kumi' apaseza miza sezmante'saza eri'za eneri'za, seli mono nomofo tvaonte'ma Israeli vahe'mo'zama ne-esageno krimo zamazeri haviza huzanku kva krigahaze.

Kubo bonke abako-Israyeli, senginike abaLevi ku-Aroni kanye lamadodana akhe ukuba babe yizipho ukuze benzele abako-Israyeli umsebenzi kanye lendlela yokubuyisana ethenteni lokuhlangana ukuze abako-Israyeli bangahlaselwa yisifo nxa besondela endlini engcwele.”

20 Mosese'ene, Aroni'ene mika Israeli vahe krerfamo'zanena Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosese asmi'nea kante ante'za Livae nagara anara huzmantegahaze.

UMosi lo-Aroni kanye labo bonke abako-Israyeli benza njalo kubaLevi njengalokhu uThixo walaya uMosi.

21 Livae naga'mo'za zamagrazmi zamazeri agru nehu'za, kukena zmia sese hutazageno, Aroni aza ante sga huno Ra Anumzamofonte zamavareno amira amira hu ofa hunezmanteno, kumi apase ofa huzmante'ne.

AbaLevi bazihlambulula njalo bagezisa izigqoko zabo. Ngakho u-Aroni wabethula phambi kukaThixo njengomnikelo wokuzunguzwa njalo wabenzela indlela yokubuyisana ebahlambulula.

22 Ana'ma hutege'za Livae vahe'mo'za seli mono nompina, Aronine, ne'mofavre naga'anena zamaza hu'za Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea kante ante'za eri'zana eri'naze.

Ngemva kwalokho, abaLevi beza ethenteni lokuhlangana ukuzokwenza umsebenzi wabo ngaphansi kuka-Aroni kanye lamadodana akhe. Benza njalo kubaLevi njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.

23 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne,

UThixo wathi kuMosi,

24 Livae naga'mo'za amanahu hugahaze, 25'a kafureti mareri'nesnamo'za, mareri'za seli mono nompina eri'zana erigahaze.

“Lokhu kuqondane labaLevi: Abesilisa abaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu kusiya phezulu bazakwenza umsebenzi ethenteni lokuhlangana,

25 Hianagi 50'a kafuma nehanu'za eri'zampintira vagare'za mago'ene eri'zana e'origahaze.

kodwa asebeleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu okuzalwa bazamiswa ukuphatha imisebenzi yabo yensuku ngensuku bangabe besasebenza futhi.

26 Hu'neanagi eri'zazamifinti vagaresu'za nezmafuna amne zamaza hu'za seli mono nompi eri'zana kankamu zamire erigahaze. Hagi mago eri'zana zamagra zamavesitera e'origahaze. Hagi Livae vahe'mo'za amage ante'za eri'za kankamu zamire erigahaze.

Bangasiza nje abafowabo nxa besenza imisebenzi yabo ethenteni lokuhlangana, kodwa bona ngokwabo bangasebenzi. Le yiyo-ke indlela ozakupha ngayo abaLevi imisebenzi.”
