ULevi 10
1 Amadodana ka-Aroni uNadabi lo-Abhihu bathatha izitsha zempepha, bafaka umlilo kuzo, bafaka impepha; basebenikela ngomlilo phambi kukaThixo ngokungekho emandleni abo, njalo kuphambene lomlayo wakhe.
And the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, each took his censer and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.
2 Kwavela umlilo lapho uThixo ayekhona, wabatshisa bafa phambi kukaThixo.
And fire came forth from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.
3 UMosi wasesithi ku-Aroni, “Lokhu yikho okwakhulunywa nguThixo aze athi: ‘Kulabo abasondela kimi Ubungcwele bami buzabonakala, phambi kwabo bonke abantu Ngizadunyiswa.’” U-Aroni wala ethule.
Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what Jehovah spoke of, saying, 'I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.'" Aaron held his peace.
4 UMosi wabiza uMishayeli lo-Elizafani amadodana kamalumakhe ka-Aroni u-Uziyeli, wathi kubo, “Wozani lapha lizothwala abafowenu libakhuphele phandle kwezihonqo, khatshana laphambi kwendlu engcwele.”
Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, "Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp."
5 Ngakho beza babathwala belokhu begqoke amabhatshi abo, babakhuphela ngaphandle kwezihonqo njengokulaya kukaMosi.
So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
6 UMosi wasesithi ku-Aroni lamadodana akhe u-Eliyazari lo-Ithamari, “Lingayekeli inwele zenu zingembozwanga njalo lingadabuli izigqoko zenu ngokuhlulukelwa, funa life, loThixo athukuthelele abantu bonke. Kodwa zonke izihlobo zenu lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli bangabakhalela labo ababhujiswe nguThixo ngomlilo.
Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, "Do not let the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes; that you do not die, and that he not be angry with all the congregation: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Jehovah has kindled.
7 Lingaze lasuka esangweni lethente lokuhlangana funa life, ngoba amafutha kaThixo okugcoba ogcotshelwa isikhundla aphezu kwenu.” Ngakho benza njengokulaya kukaMosi.
You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is on you." They did according to the word of Moses.
8 UThixo wasesithi ku-Aroni,
Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,
9 “Wena lamadodana akho akumelanga linathe iwayini loba okunye okunathwayo okubilileyo nxa lisiyangena ethenteni lokuhlangana, funa life. Lo ngumlayo omi kuze kube nininini kuzizukulwane ezizayo.
"Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, that you do not die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations:
10 Kumele lahlukanise okungcwele kokungangcwele, okuhlanzekileyo kokungahlanzekanga,
and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;
11 njalo kumele lifundise abako-Israyeli zonke izimiso uThixo abaphe zona ngoMosi.”
and that you are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah has spoken to them by Moses."
12 UMosi wathi ku-Aroni kanye lamadodana akhe aseleyo, u-Eliyazari lo-Ithamari, “Thathani umnikelo wamabele oseleyo emihlatshelweni yokudla enikelwe kuThixo, liwudle ungelamvubelo eceleni kwe-alithari ngoba ungcwele kakhulu.
Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, "Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy;
13 Udleleni endaweni engcwele, ngoba uyisabelo senu kanye lamadodana enu, njengoba ngilaywe ngokunjalo.
and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons' portion, of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: for so I am commanded.
14 Kodwa wena lamadodana akho kanye lamadodakazi akho lingadla isifuba esazunguzwayo kanye lomlenze onikelweyo. Kudleleni endaweni ehlanzekileyo ngokomkhuba; kuphiwe wena kanye labantwabakho njengesabelo somnikelo wobudlelwano kwabako-Israyeli.
The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons' portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15 Umlenze owanikelwayo kanye lesifuba esazunguzwayo kumele kulethwe kanye lamahwahwa anikelwa ngomlilo, azozunguzwa phambi kukaThixo njengomnikelo wokuzunguzwa. Lokho kuzakuba yisabelo sansukuzonke esakho kanye labantwabakho, njengokulaya kukaThixo.”
The heaved thigh and the waved breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Jehovah: and it shall be yours, and your sons' with you, as a portion forever; as Jehovah has commanded."
16 UMosi wathi ebuza ngembuzi yomnikelo wesono wathola ukuthi yayisitshisiwe, wathukuthelela u-Eliyazari lo-Ithamari, amadodana ka-Aroni ayesesele, wawabuza wathi,
Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, look, it was burned: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,
17 “Kungani lingadlelanga umnikelo wesono endlini engcwele na? Ungcwele kakhulu; lawuphiwa ukuze ususe icala labantu ngokwenza ukuthi babuyiswe phambi kukaThixo.
"Why haven't you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Jehovah?
18 Njengoba igazi lawo lingangeniswanga eNdaweni eNgcwele, bekumele imbuzi liyidlele endlini engcwele njengokulaya kwami.”
Look, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary: you certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded."
19 U-Aroni waphendula uMosi wathi, “Lamuhla benze umhlatshelo womnikelo wesono kanye lomnikelo wokutshiswa phambi kukaThixo, kodwa izinto ezinjengalezi sezenzakele kimi. Nxa bengidle umnikelo wesono lamuhla, kambe uThixo ubengachelesa ngalokho na?”
Aaron spoke to Moses, "Look, this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Jehovah; and such things as these have happened to me: and if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in the sight of Jehovah?"
20 UMosi wasuthiseka ekuzwa lokho.
When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.
