ULevi 22
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Tshela u-Aroni lamadodana akhe bahloniphe iminikelo abako-Israyeli abayinikela kimi ukuze bangadumazi ibizo lami elingcwele. Mina nginguThixo.
“Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima sɛ, wɔmfa anidie mma afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron a Israelfoɔ ate ho ama me no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔnngu me din ho fi. Mene Awurade.
3 Batshele ukuthi, ‘Kuzozonke izizukulwane ezizayo, nxa ekhona ozabe engahlanzekanga ngokomkhuba kodwa ajinge asondele eminikelweni engcwele, abako-Israyeli abayihlukanisela uThixo, lowomuntu kasuswe ebusweni bami. Mina nginguThixo.
“Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekorɔ, sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ biara a ne ho agu fi de ne nsa ka mmoa anaa akyɛdeɛ biara a nnipa no de aba sɛ wɔmfa mmɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade a, wɔbɛworɔ nʼatadeɛ. Mene Awurade.
4 Nxa owenzalo ka-Aroni elobulephero kumbe ephihlika ubovu emzimbeni, kangadli iminikelo engcwele aze aqale ahlambuluke. Uzabe esengcolile njalo angabamba okungcoliswe yisidumbu loba athintane lomuntu ovuza ubudoda,
“Ɔsɔfoɔ biara a ɔwɔ honam ani nsane yadeɛ biara nni ho kwan sɛ ɔdi afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron no bi gye sɛ, wɔasa no yadeɛ ama ne ho afiri ansa. Ɔsɔfoɔ biara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka funu anaa ɛnam ahosene enti ne ho bɛgu fi no,
5 loba athinte iloba yini enwabuzelayo emenza angcole, loba kungumuntu omenza angcole, kungakhathalekile ukuthi yikungcola bani.
anaa ɔde ne nsa bɛka aboa biara a ɔwea fam anaa akyiwadeɛ bi anaa obi a biribi enti, wɔagu ne ho fi no,
6 Lowo othinta loba yikuphi kwalezi izinto uzabe esengcolile kuze kube kusihlwa. Kangadli loba yini eyeminikelo engcwele, ngaphandle kokuba eseqale wageza ngamanzi.
saa ɔsɔfoɔ no ho bɛgu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ. Ɔrenni afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔate ho no bi kɔsi anwummerɛ a ɔbɛdware.
7 Ilanga lingatshona uzabe esehlanzekile, lapho-ke usengadla iminikelo engcwele ngoba iyikudla kwakhe.
Sɛ owia kɔtɔ a, ne ho bɛte na ɛno akyi ɔbɛtumi adi afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron no bi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ nʼaduane.
8 Kangadli lutho oluzifeleyo, loba olubulewe ngezinye izinyamazana zeganga, ngoba lokho kungamngcolisa. Mina nginguThixo.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔdi aboa funu anaa deɛ akekaboa bi atete ne mu, na amma ne ho angu fi. Mene Awurade.
9 Abaphristi kabagcine izimiso zami ukuze bangabi lecala bafe ngenxa yokuzeyisa. Mina nginguThixo obenza babengcwele.
“Bɔ asɔfoɔ no kɔkɔ na wɔnni saa mmara yi so yie, anyɛ saa a, wɔbɛtwe wɔn aso na wɔawuwu sɛ wɔabu saa mmara yi so enti. Mene Awurade a mate wɔn ho.
10 Akulamuntu ongasuwendlu yomphristi ovunyelwa ukudla umnikelo ongcwele, loba isethekeli somphristi kumbe isisebenzi esiqhatshiweyo; bonke bangawudli.
“Obiara nni ho kwan sɛ ɔdi afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron no bi gye sɛ ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ. Ɔhɔhoɔ a wabɛsra ɔsɔfoɔ no nni ho kwan sɛ ɔdi bi. Na saa ara nso na ɔsomfoɔ a wɔtua no ka nni ho kwan sɛ ɔdi bi.
11 Kodwa nxa umphristi ethenga isigqili ngemali, loba isigqili singesizelwe emzini wakhe, lesosigqili singakudla ukudla kwakhe.
Nanso sɛ ɛba sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no de ɔno ara ne sika tɔ akoa a, saa akoa no tumi di bi. Na akoa no mma biara a ɔbɛwo wɔn wɔ fie hɔ no wɔ ho kwan sɛ wɔdi bi.
12 Nxa indodakazi yomphristi ithathwa yindoda engasumphristi, kayingadli loba yisiphi isipho esingcwele.
Sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ babaa kɔware firi abusuakuo no akyi baabi a, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔdi afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron no bi.
13 Kodwa nxa indodakazi yomphristi isiba ngumfelokazi loba ixotshwe ekwendeni ingelamntwana, ibisibuya izohlala ngakibo njengasebutsheni bayo, ingakudla ukudla kukayise; kodwa ongafanelanga kangakudli.
Na sɛ ɔyɛ okunafoɔ anaa obi a wɔagyaa no awadeɛ na ɔnni babarima a ɔbɛhwɛ no na ɛno enti ɔsane ba nʼagya nkyɛn a, ɔtumi di nʼagya aduane no bi bio. Yeinom akyi no, asɔfoɔ no abusuafoɔ nko ara na wɔwo ho kwan sɛ wɔdi afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron no.
14 Nxa umuntu engadla umnikelo ongcwele ngokungazi kumele ahlawule kumphristi, abuye engeze ingxenye yesihlanu yalokho kudla.
“Sɛ obi anhunu na ɔkɔdi saa afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron no bi a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua ho ka na ɔsane bɔ ho nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu de ka ho.
15 Umphristi kangangcolisi iminikelo engcwele elethwa ngabako-Israyeli kuThixo
Ɛfiri sɛ, afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron a Israelfoɔ de aba no, ɛnsɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔmmaa wɔn ho kwan sɛ wɔnni bi no di bi, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade na ɔde saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi nyinaa abrɛ no.
16 ngokubavumela ukuthi bayidle iminikelo leyo, besebesiba lecala okumele balihlawule. Mina nginguThixo obenza babengcwele.’”
Na obiara a ɔbɛbu saa mmara yi so no di ho fɔ, na asɛm da ne so, ɛfiri sɛ, wadi afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron. Na mene Awurade a mete afɔrebɔdeɛ nyinaa ho.”
17 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
18 “Tshela u-Aroni lamadodana akhe labo bonke abako-Israyeli uthi loba ngubani kubo, owako-Israyeli loba owezizweni ohlala ko-Israyeli, oletha isipho somhlatshelo kuThixo egcwalisa isifungo loba umnikelo wokuzithandela,
“Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa sɛ, ‘Sɛ Israelni anaa obi a ɔne mo te bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade a, sɛ ɛyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ bɔhyɛ bi enti anaa ɔno ara ne pɛ mu na ɔrebɔ no,
19 kalethe isifuyo esiduna esingelasici, esingaba yinkomo, imvu kumbe imbuzi ukuze yamukeleke ukumela.
sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no yɛ aboanini a ne ho nni dɛm biara a ɔyɛ nantwie ba anaa odwan anaa abirekyie no, Awurade bɛgye.
20 Lingalethi lutho olulesici ngoba kaluyikwamukelwa ukulimela.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde biribiara a ɛdɛm wɔ ho bɔ afɔdeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔrennye.
21 Nxa omunye ekhetha emhlambini wakhe umnikelo wobudlelwano ewuletha kuThixo ukugcwalisa isifungo esithile kumbe umnikelo wokuzithandela, lesosifuyo asingabi lasici, loba indawo esolekayo kuso ukwenzela ukuthi samukeleke.
Obiara a ɔfiri nʼanantwie anaa ne nnwan mu sɛ ɔrebɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade no, sɛ ɛyɛ bɔhyɛ bi ho afɔrebɔ anaa ɔno ara ne pɛ mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde aboa a wadi dɛm na ɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔrennye.
22 Linganikeli ngezifuyo eziyiziphofu, ezilimeleyo, leziyizilima, loba ezilensumpa kumbe izilonda eziphihlikayo. Lezi lingazibeki phezu kwe-alithari ukuba ngumnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo.
Aboa a nʼani abɔ anaa wadi dɛm anaa wapira anaa ekuro anaa nweweeɛ wɔ ne ho, anaa wedeɛ ani yadeɛ ayɛ no no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde no bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔmfata sɛ wɔde no ba afɔrebukyia so bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade.
23 Kodwa umnikelo wokuzithandela ungaba yinkomo kumbe imvu eyisilima loba engakhulanga yaphelela, kodwa ingeke yamukeleke ukugcwalisa isifungo.
Sɛ biribi a ɛboro so anaa ɛtɔ sin wɔ nantwie ba anaa odwan ba a wɔde no rebrɛ Awurade no ho a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no bɔ ɔpɛ mu afɔdeɛ na mmom, ɛnyɛ bɔhyɛ afɔdeɛ.
24 Linganikeli kuThixo isifuyo esathenwa ngokuxhokolwa, ngokugxotshwa loba ngokudatshulwa amaphambili. Lingakwenzi lokho elizweni lakini,
Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde aboa a wɔasa no bɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ ɛkwan biara so.
25 njalo lingazemukeli izifuyo ezinjalo kwabezizweni, beselinikela ngazo zibe yikudla kukaNkulunkulu wenu. Aziyi kwamukeleka ukulimela ngoba zigogekile, zilezici.”
Saa mmara yi da hɔ ma ahɔhoɔ a wɔfra mo mu a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ne mo ankasa, ɛfiri sɛ, aboa biara a wadi dɛm no nyɛ mma saa afɔrebɔ no.’”
26 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
27 “Ithole elizelweyo loba izinyane lemvu, kumbe elembuzi kalihlale kunina insuku eziyisikhombisa. Kusukela osukwini lwesificaminwembili selisamukeleka ukuba ngumnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo.
“Sɛ wɔwo nantwie, odwan anaa abirekyie a, ɛsɛ sɛ aboa no tena ne maame nkyɛn nnanson. Na ɛfiri nnawɔtwe rekorɔ no, sɛ wɔde no bɔ ogya afɔdeɛ a, Awurade bɛgye.
28 Inkomokazi loba imvukazi ayingahlatshwa langa linye lomntanayo.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ mokum aboa bi ne ne ba ɛda koro, sɛ ɔyɛ nantwie anaa odwan.
29 Nxa linikela umhlatshelo wokubonga kuThixo, wunikeleni ngendlela eyamukelekayo ukulimela.
“Sɛ morebɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade a, ɛsɛ sɛ mofa ɛkwan pa so,
30 Kayidliwe mhlalokho, lingatshiyi lutho lwayo kuze kuse kusasa. Mina nginguThixo.
ɛne sɛ, mobɛwe aboa a wɔde no bɔɔ afɔdeɛ no nam ɛda no ara a wɔkumm no no. Mommma adeɛ nnkye ebi so. Mene Awurade.
31 Gcinani imilayo yami liyilandele. Mina nginguThixo.
“Monni me mmarahyɛ nyinaa so na mene Awurade.
32 Lingangcolisi ibizo lami elingcwele. Abako-Israyeli kabangazi ngokuthi ngingcwele. Mina nginguThixo olenza libengcwele,
Ɛnsɛ sɛ mogu me din kronkron ho fi. Monni me ni na me, Awurade, na metee mo ho de mo bataa me ho,
33 yena owalikhupha eGibhithe ukuba abe nguNkulunkulu wenu. Mina nginguThixo.”
nam so gyee mo firii Misraim ma mobɛyɛɛ mʼankasa me nnipa! Mene Awurade.”
