< ULevi 2 >

1 “‘Nxa umuntu angaletha umnikelo wamabele kuThixo; umnikelo wakhe uzakuba ngowefulawa ecolekileyo. Uzayithela amafutha ayihlanganise lempepha
“‘Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔbɔ aduane afɔdeɛ de ma Awurade no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde asikyiresiam a ɛyɛ fɛ a wahwie ngo agu so de aduhwam afra na ɛbɔ.
2 abeseyisa emadodaneni ka-Aroni, abaphristi. Umphristi uzacupha ifulawa ecolekileyo egcwala isandla, ayihlanganise lamafutha lempepha ndawonye, abesekutshisa njengesikhumbuzo e-alithareni, umnikelo owenziwa ngomlilo, olephunga elimnandi kuThixo.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsa ne nsabuo ma de si aduane no nyinaa anan de ma asɔfoɔ no mu baako hye sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ, na ɛbɛyɛ Awurade anisɔ.
3 Okuseleyo emnikelweni wamabele ngokuka-Aroni lamadodana akhe, yingxenye engcwele kakhulu yomhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde asikyiresiam no nkaeɛ ma Aaron ne ne mmammarima sɛ wɔn aduane; nanso wɔfa ne nyinaa sɛ afɔdeɛ kronkron a wɔabɔ ama Awurade.
4 Nxa ungaletha umnikelo wamabele obhekhwe eziko, kumele wenziwe ngefulawa ecolekileyo: amakhekhe abhekhwe kungela mvubelo, ahlanganiswa lamafutha, kumbe amakhekhe ayizicecedu enziwe kungela mvubelo, asegcotshwa ngamafutha.
“‘Sɛ wɔde burodo a wɔato no fononoo mu brɛ Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu a wɔde ngo afra ato a mmɔreka nni mu na ɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no. Motumi de burodo ntrawa dɛɛdɛ a mmɔreka nni mu na mode ngo afa so nso bɔ afɔdeɛ ma ɛyɛ yie.
5 Nxa umnikelo wakho wamabele uhlanganiselwe emganwini wensimbi, kumele ulungiswe ngefulawa ecolekileyo, ehlanganiswe lamafutha njalo ingela mvubelo.
Sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no yɛ aduane a wɔato no dadeɛ so a, asikyiresiam muhumuhu a mmɔreka mfra mu na mode ngo afra na momfa mmɔ saa afɔdeɛ no.
6 Uvuthuze ubusuthela amafutha kuwo; ngumnikelo wamabele.
Mommubu mu asinasini na monhwie ngo ngu so na ɛnyɛ sɛ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ara pɛ.
7 Nxa umnikelo wakho wamabele ubhekhelwe epaneni, kuzamele wenziwe ngefulawa ecolekileyo lamafutha.
Sɛ monoa mo afɔdeɛ no wɔ kyɛnsee mu a, ɛno nso, momfa asikyiresiam muhumuhu a mode ngo afra na ɛmmɔ saa afɔdeɛ no.
8 Letha umnikelo wamabele olungiswe ngezinto lezi kuThixo: uziqhubele umphristi ozazisa e-alithareni.
Sɛ moyɛ aduane bi, sɛ motooɛ, sɛ mokyeeɛ anaasɛ mohoeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa afɔrebɔdeɛ no kɔma ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔno nso de kɔ afɔrebukyia no anim de kɔma Awurade.
9 Uzakhupha ingxenye eyisikhumbuzo emnikelweni wamabele, abeseyitshisela e-alithareni njengomhlatshelo wokudla, olephunga elimnandi kuThixo.
Afɔrebɔdeɛ no mu kakra bi na ɛsɛ sɛ asɔfoɔ no hye, nanso Awurade ani bɛsɔ ade mu no nyinaa.
10 Okuseleyo emnikelweni wamabele ngokuka-Aroni lamadodana akhe, yingxenye engcwele kakhulu yomhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
Deɛ ɛbɛka no yɛ asɔfoɔ no dea, nanso wɔfa no sɛ ne nyinaa yɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ kronkron a wɔabɔ de ama Awurade.
11 Wonke umnikelo wamabele owuletha kuThixo kumele ulungiswe ungelamvubelo, ngoba kakumelanga utshise imvubelo kumbe uluju emhlatshelweni wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
“‘Afɔrebɔ a mode asikyiresiam na ɛbɔ no, mommfa mmɔreka mfra mu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ biara a mobɛbɔ ama Awurade no, mode mmɔreka anaa ɛwoɔ fra mu.
12 Ungakuletha kuThixo njengomnikelo wokuchinsa izithelo zakuqala, kodwa kakumelanga ukuthi zinikelwe e-alithareni njengephunga elimnandi.
Mode bɛbrɛ Awurade sɛ aduanekan afɔrebɔdeɛ, nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔhye wɔ afɔrebukyia no so sɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.
13 Tswayani yonke iminikelo yenu yamabele. Lingakhohlwa itswayi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wenu eminikelweni yenu yamabele: fakani itswayi eminikelweni yenu yonke.
Momfa nkyene mfra afɔrebɔdeɛ biara, ɛfiri sɛ, nkyene yɛ nkaedeɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn apam no mu.
14 Nxa lingaletha umnikelo wamabele ezithelo zakuqala kuThixo, nikelani ngezikhwebu zamabele amatsha agigwe ekhanzingwe emlilweni.
“‘Sɛ mode mo mfudeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan mu aba kane rebɛbɔ afɔdeɛ a, emu aburoo no monhwane ho na monkye na momfa mma Awurade.
15 Thelani amafutha lihlanganise lempepha: ngumnikelo wamabele.
Momfa ngo ne aduhwam nyɛ ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ.
16 Umphristi uzatshisa ingxenye eyisikhumbuzo emabeleni agigiweyo, kanye lamafutha ndawonye lempepha yonke njengomhlatshelo wokudla owenzelwa onikelwa kuThixo.’”
Na asɔfoɔ no bɛhye aburoo no bi a wɔde ngo ne aduhwam afra no sɛ nkaedeɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
