1 “Lokhu yikho ozakwenza nxa ubagcoba ukuze bangisebenzele njengabaphristi: Thatha inkunzi esesencane lenqama ezimbili ezingelasici.
“Pofuna kumupatula Aaroni ndi ana ake kuti akhale ansembe onditumikira Ine, uchite izi: Utenge ngʼombe yayingʼono yayimuna ndi nkhosa ziwiri zazimuna zopanda chilema.
2 Yenza izinkwa ezingelamvubelo ngefulawa ecolekileyo, izinkwa ezinkulu ezingelamvubelo, ezivutshwe ngamafutha e-oliva lezinkwa ezincane ezingelamvubelo, zigcotshwe ngamafutha e-oliva.
Utengenso buledi wopanda yisiti, makeke wopanda yisiti wopakidwa mafuta. Zonsezi uzipange ndi ufa wosalala wa tirigu.
3 Uzifake esitsheni ubusuziletha ndawonye lenkunzi kanye lenqama ezimbili.
Uziyike mʼdengu ndipo ubwere nazo kwa Ine pamodzi ndi ngʼombe yayimuna ija ndi nkhosa ziwiri zazimuna zija.
4 Emva kwalokho ulethe u-Aroni lamadodana akhe esangweni lethente lokuhlangana ubagezise ngamanzi.
Kenaka ubwere naye Aaroni ndi ana ake pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano ndipo uwasambitse ndi madzi.
5 Thatha izembatho ugqokise u-Aroni ibhatshi, lesembatho samahlombe, isembatho samahlombe sona ngokwaso kanye lesigqoko sesifuba, umbophele isembatho samahlombe ngebhanti lokhalo elelukwe ngobungcwethi obukhulu.
Tenga zovala ndipo umuveke Aaroni mwinjiro, mkanjo wa efodi, efodiyo ndi chovala chapachifuwa. Umumange mʼchiwuno lamba wa efodi wolukidwa mwaluso uja.
6 Mthwalise iqhiye yokuthandela ekhanda lakhe, unamathisele umqhele wamakhosi ongcwele eqhiyeni.
Umuveke nduwira kumutu, ndiponso uyike chizindikiro chopatulika chija pa nduwirayo.
7 Thatha amafutha okugcobela isikhundla umgcobe ngokuwathela phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
Utenge mafuta wodzozera ndipo uwatsanulire pamutu pake kumudzoza.
8 Letha amadodana akhe uwagqokise amabhatshi
Ubwere ndi ana ake aamuna ndipo uwavekenso minjiro
9 ubabophe ngamabhanti emakhanda, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe, ube usubathwalisa izingowane. Ubuphristi ngobabo ngesimiso esingapheliyo. Ngale indlela uzagcoba u-Aroni lamadodana akhe.
ndi nduwira. Kenaka umange malamba Aaroniyo pamodzi ndi ana ake ndi kuwaveka nduwira. Motero unsembe udzakhala wawo malingana ndi lamulo ili losatha. “Umu ndi mmene udzadzozere Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna.
10 Letha inkunzi phambi kwethente lokuhlangana, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda layo,
“Ubwere ndi ngʼombe yayimuna pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake asanjike manja awo pamutu pake.
11 uyihlabe phambi kukaThixo esangweni lethente lokuhlangana.
Uphe ngʼombeyo pamaso pa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
12 Uthathe igazi lenkunzi ulininde empondweni ze-alithare ngomunwe wakho, uthele igazi eliseleyo phansi e-alithareni.
Utenge magazi ena angʼombeyo ndi kupaka ndi chala chako pa nyanga zaguwa lansembe ndipo magazi otsalawo uwakhutulire pa tsinde laguwalo.
13 Emva kwalokho uthathe lonke idanga eligoqela ezangaphakathi, amahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi, izinso zonke lamahwahwa akuzo, ukutshise konke lokhu e-alithareni.
Kenaka utenge mafuta onse okuta matumbo, mafuta ophimba chiwindi ndiponso impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta ake. Zonsezi uzitenthe pa guwapo.
14 Kodwa-ke inyama yenkunzi, isikhumba sayo lamathumbu ayo, ukutshisele ngaphandle kwesihonqo; kungumnikelo wesono.
Koma nyama yangʼombeyo, chikopa chake ndi matumbo ake uziwotche kunja kwa msasa. Iyi ndi nsembe yopepesera machimo.
15 Thatha enye yenqama, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda layo,
“Utenge nkhosa yayimuna imodzi ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna asanjike manja awo pamutu pake.
16 uyihlabe, uthathe igazi layo ulichele emaceleni wonke e-alithare.
Uyiphe ndipo utenge magazi ake ndi kuwaza mbali zonse zaguwalo.
17 Emva kwalokho uhlahlele inqama ibe yiziqa ugezise ezangaphakathi lemilenze ukufake ndawonye lenhloko kanye lezinye iziqa,
Uyidule nkhosayo nthulinthuli, kutsuka matumbo ake ndi miyendo yake. Ukatero, pamodzi ndi mutu wake, uziyike pamwamba pa nthulizo.
18 ubusutshisa inqama yonke e-alithareni. Lokhu kungumnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo, iphunga elimnandi, umnikelo onikelwa kuThixo ngomlilo.
Ndipo uwotche nkhosa yonseyo pa guwa lansembe. Iyi ndi nsembe yopsereza ya kwa Yehova. Ili ndi fungo lokoma, loperekedwa pa moto kwa Yehova.
19 Thatha enye inqama, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda layo.
“Utenge nkhosa yayimuna ina ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna asanjike manja awo pamutu pake.
20 Uyihlabe, uthathe igazi layo ulininde esiqwini sendlebe yakwesokunene sika-Aroni lakwezamadodana akhe, lasezithupheni zabo zezandla zabo zokunene, lasemazwaneni amakhulu ezinyawo zabo zesandla sokunene. Emva kwalokho uchele igazi emaceleni wonke e-alithare.
Uyiphe ndipo utenge magazi ake ena ndi kupaka ndewere za makutu a kudzanja lamanja la Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna. Upakenso pa zala zawo zazikulu za kudzanja lawo lamanja, ndi zala zazikulu za kuphazi lakudzanja lawo lamanja. Kenaka uwaze magazi otsalawo mbali zonse za guwalo.
21 Thatha igazi elise-alithareni lamafutha okugcoba uchele u-Aroni lezembatho zakhe kanye lamadodana akhe lezembatho zawo. Lapho-ke yena lamadodana akhe lezivunulo zabo kuzabe sekungcwelisiwe.
Ndipo utenge magazi ena amene ali pa guwa lansembe komanso pa mafuta ena odzozera ndipo uwawaze pa Aaroni ndi zovala zake ndi ana ake ndi zovala zawo. Ndiye kuti iyeyo ndi ana ake aamuna adzakhala opatulika pamodzi ndi zovala zawo.
22 Thatha amahwahwa kule inqama, lomsila ononileyo, ledanga eligoqela ezangaphakathi, lamahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi, lezinso zombili lamahwahwa akuzo kanye lomlenze wesandla sokunene. (Le yinqama yokugcotshwa komphristi.)
“Pa nkhosa yayimuna ija utengepo mafuta ake, mafuta a ku mchira wake, mafuta okuta matumbo, mafuta okuta chiwindi, impsyo zonse ziwiri ndi mafuta ake, ndiponso ntchafu yakumanja. Iyi ndi nkhosa ya mwambo wodzoza.
23 Esitsheni esilesinkwa esingelamvubelo esiphambi kukaThixo, thatha isinkwa esisodwa, isinkwa esisodwa esikhulu esixutshaniswe lamafutha e-oliva kanye lesinkwanyana.
Utengenso mʼdengu la buledi wopanda yisiti limene lili pamaso pa Yehova, buledi mmodzi, buledi wokhala ndi mafuta a olivi, ndi buledi wopyapyala mmodzi.
24 Konke lokhu kufake ezandleni zika-Aroni lezamadodana akhe, bakuzunguze phambi kukaThixo kube ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa.
Izi zonse uzipereke mʼmanja mwa Aaroni ndi ana ake, ndipo iwo aziweyule pamaso pa Yehova kuti zikhale nsembe yoweyula.
25 Emva kwalokho kuthathe ezandleni zabo ukutshise e-alithareni ndawonye lomnikelo wokutshiswa ukuze kube liphunga elimnandi kuThixo, umhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
Kenaka uzitenge mʼmanja mwawo ndipo uzipsereze pa guwa lansembe, pamwamba penipeni pamodzi ndi nsembe yopsereza kuti ipereke fungo lokoma kwa Yehova. Ichi ndiye chopereka chachakudya kwa Yehova.
26 Emva kwalokho thatha isifuba senqama yokugcotshwa kuka-Aroni uzunguze phambi kukaThixo njengomnikelo wokuzunguzwa njalo sizakuba yisabelo sakho.
Kenaka utenge chidale cha nkhosa yayimuna imene inaperekedwa pamwambo wodzoza Aaroni, uchiweyule kuti chikhale nsembe yoweyula pamaso pa Yehova ndipo chidzakhala gawo lako.
27 Zenze zibengcwele lezozitho zenqama yokugcotshwa komphristi ezingezika-Aroni lamadodana akhe, isifuba esizunguziweyo lomlenze onikelweyo.
“Uzipatule ziwalo zonse za nkhosa ya pa mwambo wodzoza Aaroni ndi ana ake. Chidale chimene unaweyula chija ndiponso ntchafu imene inaperekedwa ija.
28 Lokhu kuzaqhubeka kokuphela kuyisabelo sika-Aroni lamadodana akhe esivela kwabako-Israyeli. Kungumnikelo abako-Israyeli abawenzayo kuThixo uvela eminikelweni yabo yokuhlanganyela.
Nsembe izi ndi zimene Aisraeli azipereka kwa Aaroni ndi ana ake mwa zonse zimene azipereka nthawi zonse. Mwa zopereka za mtendere zimene ana a Aisraeli adzapereka kwa Yehova, zimenezi zikhale gawo lawo.
29 Izembatho zika-Aroni ezingcwele zizakuba ngezezizukulwana zakhe ukuze bagcotshwe babekwe ubuphristi begqoke zona.
“Zovala zopatulika za Aaroni zidzakhala za ana ake aamuna iye atafa kuti adzavale podzozedwa ndi polandira udindo wawo.
30 Indodana yakhe ezakuba ngumphristi esikhundleni sakhe izazigqoka insuku eziyisikhombisa lapho isiza ethenteni lokuhlangana ukuzakhonza eNdaweni eNgcwele.
Mwana amene adzalowa mʼmalo mwake monga wansembe pamene adzabwerera kudzalowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kudzatumikira ku malo wopatulika, adzavala zovala zimenezi masiku asanu ndi awiri.
31 Thatha inqama yokugcotshwa komphristi uyiphekele endaweni engcwele.
“Utenge nkhosa yayimuna ya pamwambo wodzoza ansembe ndipo uyiphike pamalo opatulika.
32 Ethenteni lokuhlangana, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe bazakudla inyama yenqama lesinkwa esisesitsheni.
Aaroni ndi ana ake adye nyama ya nkhosa yayimunayi pamodzi ndi buledi amene ali mʼdengu pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
33 Kumele badle leyomnikelo okwenziwa ngayo inhlawulo yokubekwa lokugcotshwa kwabo. Kodwa omunye umuntu nje akayikukudla lokhu ngoba kungcwele.
Adye zonse zimene anazipereka kwa Yehova pamwambo wopepesera machimo powadzoza ndi kuwapatula. Munthu wamba asadye chifukwa ndi zopatulika.
34 Njalo nxa eyinye yenyama yenqama yokugcotshwa komphristi kumbe isinkwa kusele kuze kube sekuseni, kutshise ngomlilo. Akumelanga kudliwe ngoba kungcwele.
Ndipo ngati nyama ina ya nkhosa ya pamwambo wodzoza ansembe kapena buledi zatsala mpaka mmawa, muziwotche, asazidye chifukwa ndi zopatulika.
35 Menzele-ke u-Aroni lamadodana akhe konke engikulaye khona, ukugcotshwa kwabo kuthathe insuku eziyisikhombisa.
“Uchitire Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna zonse zimene ndakulamulazi. Uchite mwambo wowapatula kukhala ansembe masiku asanu ndi awiri.
36 Nikela inkunzi eyodwa usuku ngosuku njengomnikelo wesono wokwenza inhlawulo. Yenza i-alithari libengcwele ngokulenzela inhlawulo, uligcobe ukuba ulingcwelise.
Tsiku lililonse uzipereka ngʼombe yayimuna ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo kuti machimowo akhululukidwe. Ndiponso upatule guwalo popereka nsembe yopepesera ndi kulidzoza mafuta kuti likhale lopatulika.
37 Yenza inhlawulelo ye-alithare okwensuku eziyisikhombisa ulingcwelise. Lapho-ke i-alithari lizakuba ngcwele kakhulu kuthi konke okulithintayo kube ngcwele.
Pa masiku asanu ndi awiri uzipereka pa guwapo nsembe zoyeretsera guwalo, ukatero ndiye kuti uzilipatula. Ndipo guwa lansembelo lidzakhala loyera kwambiri, ndipo chilichonse chimene chidzakhudza guwalo chidzayeretsedwa.
38 Lokhu yikho ozakunikela e-alithareni usuku lunye ngalunye: amazinyane ezimvu amabili alomnyaka owodwa ezelwe.
“Tsiku ndi tsiku pa guwa lansembe uzipereka izi: Ana ankhosa a chaka chimodzi awiri.
39 Nikela elilodwa ekuseni, elinye unikele ngalo njalo kusihlwa.
Mmawa muzipereka mwana wankhosa mmodzi ndipo winayo madzulo.
40 Kanye lezinyane lakuqala nikela okwetshumi kwehefa yefulawa ecolekileyo ehlanganiswe lokwesine kwehini yamafutha e-oliva ahluziweyo, lokwesine kwehini yewayini ukuba kube ngumnikelo onathwayo.
Pamodzi ndi mwana wankhosa woyambayo, muzipereka kilogalamu imodzi ya ufa wosalala wosakaniza ndi lita imodzi ya mafuta a olivi pamodzi ndi lita imodzi ya vinyo ngati chopereka chachakumwa.
41 Elinye izinyane linikele kusihlwa ngomnikelo ofanayo wamabele kanye lomnikelo wokunathwayo njengowekuseni ukuba kube liphunga elimnandi, umnikelo wokutshiswa onikelwa kuThixo.
Upereke mwana wankhosa winayo madzulo pamodzi ndi chopereka chachakudya monga poyamba paja ndi chopereka chachakumwa monga mmawa kuti ikhale fungo lokoma la chopereka chachakudya kwa Yehova.
42 Kuzizukulwane ezizayo umnikelo wokutshiswa lo uzakwenziwa njalonjalo esangweni lethente lokuhlangana phambi kukaThixo, lapho engizahlangana lawe khona ngikhulume lawe.
“Zopereka zopsereza zimenezi ziziperekedwa nthawi zonse, pa mibado yonse. Muzidzazipereka pamaso pa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Pa guwa lansembe, Yehova adzakumana nanu ndi kuyankhula nanu.
43 Lapho futhi yikho engizahlangana khona labako-Israyeli, indawo leyo ingcweliswe yinkazimulo yami.
Pameneponso Ine ndidzakumana ndi Aisraeli, ndipo guwalo lidzakhala lopatulika chifukwa cha ulemerero wanga.
44 Ngokunjalo ngizakwenza ithente lokuhlangana kanye le-alithari kube ngcwele ukuba bangisebenzele bengabaphristi.
“Tsono Ine ndidzapatula tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe. Ndidzapatulanso Aaroni pamodzi ndi ana ake kuti akhale ansembe anga onditumikira.
45 Lapho-ke ngizahlala phakathi kwabantu bako-Israyeli ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo.
Ndidzakhala pakati pa Aisraeli ndikukhala Mulungu wawo.
46 Bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wabo, owabakhupha eGibhithe ukuze ngihlale phakathi kwabo. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wabo.”
Adzadziwa kuti ine ndine Mulungu wawo amene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto kuti ndikhale pakati pawo. Ine ndine Yehova, Mulungu wawo.”
