ULevi 21
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Khuluma labaphristi, amadodana ka-Aroni, ubatshele ukuthi: ‘Umphristi kakumelanga azingcolise ngokomlayo, ngokungcwaba loba ngubani wakibo ofileyo,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron mma asɔfo no se, ‘wonnso funu mu mfa ngu wɔn ho fi.
2 ngaphandle kwesihlobo esiseduze njengonina, uyise, indodana loba indodakazi yakhe, umfowabo
Sɛ wobeso funu mu a, na ɛyɛ wɔn fini, sɛ ebia, ɛna, agya, ɔbabarima, ɔbabea, onuabarima
3 loba udadewabo osegumeni ngoba engelandoda, labo angabangcwaba.
anaa onuabea a ɔyɛ ɔbabun a onni kunu na ɔte ase no na ɔdan ɔsɔfo no.
4 Kangazingcolisi ngenxa yezihlobo zomkakhe, azibhixe ngokungcwabana lazo.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔware ne busuani bi na ɔfa so gu ne ho fi.
5 Abaphristi kabangaphuci amakhanda abo, loba bagunde amacele endevu zabo, loba bazicabe emzimbeni.
“‘Asɔfo no nni ho kwan sɛ wɔbɔ tikwaw, yi wɔn abogyesɛ anaasɛ wɔsesa wɔn ho.
6 Kumele babengcwele kuNkulunkulu wabo, njalo kakumelanga bangcolise ibizo likaNkulunkulu wabo. Kababe ngcwele ngoba yibo abanikela imihlatshelo yokudla kuThixo, ukudla kukaNkulunkulu wabo, kumele babengcwele.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ kronkron ma wɔn Onyankopɔn. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wogu ne din ho fi. Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔremfata sɛ wɔde ogya bɛbɔ aduan afɔre ama Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn.
7 Kabangathathi abafazi abangcolileyo ngenxa yobufebe, loba abehlukana lamadoda abo ngoba abaphristi bangcwele kuNkulunkulu.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo ware oguamanfo anaa ɔbea bi a ofi ɔman foforo so. Onni ho kwan sɛ ɔware ɔbea bi a wagyae aware, efisɛ ɔsɔfo yɛ onipa kronkron ma Onyankopɔn.
8 Bathatheni njengabantu abangcwele ngoba banikela ngokudla kukaNkulunkulu wenu. Bathatheni njengabantu abangcwele ngoba mina Thixo olingcwelisayo ngingcwele.
Wɔayi ɔsɔfo no asi hɔ sɛ ɔmmɔ mo Nyankopɔn afɔre; ɔyɛ kronkron na me Awurade a metew mo ho ma moyɛ kronkron no nso meyɛ kronkron.
9 Nxa indodakazi yomphristi izingcolisa ngokuba yisifebe, iyangisa uyise; kayitshiswe ngomlilo.
“‘Ɔsɔfo babea biara a ɔbɛbɔ aguaman no gu nʼagya ne ɔno ankasa ho fi, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew no.
10 Umphristi omkhulu kubafowabo, onguye othelwe amafutha okugcoba umphristi ekhanda, abekiweyo ukuthi agqoke izivunulo zobuphristi, kakumelanga ekele inwele zakhe zingakanywanga loba adabule izigqoko zakhe ngenxa yosizi.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfopanyin a wɔde ngo sononko bi asra no ahyɛ no atade sononko no gyaa ne tinwi a onni no ni anaasɛ ebetwa ne ntama mu.
11 Kakumelanga angene lapho okulesidumbu khona. Kangazingcolisi ngaleyondlela loba kufe uyise kumbe unina,
Onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ beae a funu da hɔ; nʼagya anaa ne na funu koraa, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ ho na ɔde agu ne ho fi
12 njalo kangasuki endlini kaNkulunkulu kumbe ayingcolise, ngoba usekhethiwe ngokugcotshwa ngamafutha kaNkulunkulu wakhe. Mina nginguThixo.
anaa nso sɛ ogu so reyɛ nʼasɔfodwuma wɔ kronkronbea hɔ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ofi adi. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔfa me kronkronbea no sɛ ofi bi kɛkɛ, efisɛ ne Nyankopɔn ngo a wɔde tew ne ho no da so wɔ ne so. Mene Awurade.
13 Umfazi amthathayo kabe yintombi egcweleyo.
“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔware ɔbabun.
14 Kangathathi umfelokazi, owehlukene lomkakhe loba umfazi ongcoliswe yibufebe, kodwa athathe kuphela intombi egcweleyo ebantwini bakibo,
Ɛnsɛ se ɔware okunafo anaa ɔbea bi a wagyae aware anaa oguamanfo. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea a ɔbɛware no no yɛ ɔbabun a ofi ne man mu,
15 angangcolisi inzalo yakhe phakathi kwabantu bakibo. Mina nginguThixo engimenza abengcwele.’”
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ongu ne mma ho fi wɔ ne nkurɔfo mu. Mene Awurade a metew ne ho no.’”
16 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
17 “Tshela u-Aroni uthi: ‘kakho owenzalo yakhe kuzozonke izizukulwane ezizayo nxa elesici esithile ongasondela anikele ukudla kukaNkulunkulu wakhe.
“Ka kyerɛ Aaron se, efi awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no so rekɔ no, wʼaseni biara a wadi dɛm no nni ho kwan sɛ ɔbɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre.
18 Akulamuntu olobulima obuthile ongasondela: umuntu oyisiphofu, longumqhuge, logogekileyo loba olezitho ezingaphelelanga;
Obi a wadi dɛm mmɛn me: onifuraefo anaa apakye anaa nea ɔwɔ honam akwaa mu sintɔ;
19 akulamuntu olobulima enyaweni loba esandleni,
obi a ɔyɛ abasin anaa nansin,
20 kumbe odundubele emahlombe, loba ongumuthwa, kumbe elobulima bamehlo, loba olentembuzane, kumbe izilonda eziphihlikayo, loba olimele emaphambilini.
anaa nea ɔyɛ afu anaa akwatia anaa nea nʼani nye anaa nea kuru atutu no anaa nea ɔyɛ twow.
21 Akungabikhona owenzalo ka-Aroni umphristi othi nxa elobulima asondele ukuzanikela umnikelo wokudla kuThixo.
Ɔsɔfo Aaron aseni biara a wadi dɛm mma mmɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre mma Awurade. Wadi dɛm, ɛno nti ɛnsɛ sɛ otwiw bɛn sɛ ɔde ne Nyankopɔn aduan rebrɛ no.
22 Angadla ukudla okungcwelengcwele kukaNkulunkulu wakhe loba yikudla bani okungcwele;
Nanso sɛ wɔbɔ afɔre no wie a, ɔsɔfo no tumi ma no Onyankopɔn afɔre no aduan no bi di a ɛmfa ho sɛ ɛyɛ afɔre kronkron.
23 kodwa ngenxa yobulima bakhe kakumelanga asondele eduze kwekhetheni, kumbe aye e-alithareni, ngoba ngaleyondlela angangcolisa indlu yami engcwele. Mina nginguThixo obenza babengcwele.’”
Nanso ne dɛm no nti, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ ntwamtam no akyi anaa ɔbɛn afɔremuka no. Eyi begu me kronkronbea hɔ ho fi na ɛyɛ Awurade na watew hɔ ho.”
24 Konke lokhu uMosi wakutshela u-Aroni lamadodana akhe, labo bonke abako-Israyeli.
Enti Mose hyɛɛ mmara yi maa Aaron ne ne mmabarima ne Israelfo nyinaa.
