ULevi 8
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 “Letha u-Aroni lamadodana akhe, izembatho zabo, amafutha okugcoba ogcotshelwa isikhundla, inkunzi yomnikelo wesono, inqama ezimbili lesitsha sokuthwalela isinkwa esibhekhwe singelamvubelo,
Take thou Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, —and the sin-bearing bullock, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened cakes;
3 ubusubuthanisa ibandla lonke esangweni lethente lokuhlangana.”
and all the assembly, call thou together, —unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.
4 UMosi wenza njengokulaya kukaThixo, ibandla lonke laselibuthana esangweni lethente lokuhlangana.
And Moses did, as Yahweh commanded him, —and the assembly was called together, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.
5 UMosi wakhuluma ebandleni wathi, “Lokhu yikho uThixo alaye ukuthi kwenziwe.”
Then said Moses unto the assembly, —This is the thing, which Yahweh hath commanded to be done.
6 UMosi waseletha u-Aroni lamadodana akhe phambili, wabagezisa ngamanzi.
So Moses brought near Aaron and his sons, —and bathed them with water,
7 Wagqokisa u-Aroni ibhatshi, wasemgaxa ibhanti, wamgqokisa isembatho semahlombe, waphinda wabopha isembatho semahlombe ngozwezwe lwaso olwelukwe ngobungcitshi; walibophela kuye.
and put upon him the tunic and girded him with the band, and clothed him with the robe, and put upon him the ephod, and girded him with the curiously-woven band of the ephod, and bound it to him therewith;
8 Wamgqokisa isembatho sesifuba wasebeka i-Urimi leThumimi esambathweni leso.
and he put upon him the breastpiece, —and placed, in the breastpiece, the Lights and the Perfections;
9 Wamthwalisa iqhiye ekhanda lakhe, phambi kwayo wabeka icence legolide, umqhele ongcwele, njengalokhu uThixo ayelaye uMosi ukuthi akwenze.
and he put the turban upon his head, —and put upon the turban, on the forefront thereof the burnished plate of gold—the holy crown, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
10 UMosi wathatha amafutha okugcoba ogcotshelwa isikhundla wagcoba ithabanikeli lakho konke okwakukulo, wakwahlukanisela uThixo.
And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the habitation and all that was therein, —and hallowed them;
11 Wachela amanye amafutha e-alithareni kasikhombisa, wagcoba i-alithari lezitsha zalo zonke, lomkolo walo, lalapho obekwa khona ukuze akwahlukanisele uThixo.
and he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, —and anointed the altar, and all the utensils thereof and the laver and its stand to hallow them
12 Wathela amanye amafutha ekhanda lika-Aroni wamgcoba ukuba amahlukanisele uThixo.
and he poured of the anointing oil, upon the head of Aaron, —and anointed him, to hallow him.
13 Wasesondeza amadodana ka-Aroni phambili, wawagqokisa amabhatshi, wawabopha ngamabhanti njalo wawabophela izingwane emakhanda awo njengalokho uThixo akulaya uMosi.
And Moses brought near the sons of Aaron and clothed them with tunics and girded them with bands, and wrapped round for them turbans, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
14 Waseletha inkunzi yomnikelo wesono, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda layo.
Then was led near the sin-bearing bullock, —and Aaron and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the sin-bearing bullock,
15 UMosi wahlaba inkunzi, wasethatha elinye igazi, waselininda empondweni ze-alithare ngomunwe ukuze lihlambuluke. Wathululela igazi elalisele phansi kwe-alithari walahlukanisela uThixo, ukwenza ukubuyisana ngalo.
Then was it slain, and Moses took the blood and put [thereof] upon the horns of the altar round about, with his finger, and cleansed the altar from sin, —and the [remainder of the] blood, poured he forth at the base of the altar, and hallowed it putting a propitiatory-covering thereupon.
16 UMosi wasethatha idanga eligoqela ezangaphakathi, amahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi, lezinso zombili lamahwahwa azo, wasekutshisela e-alithareni.
And he took all the fat that was on the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, —and Moses made a perfume at the altar.
17 Kodwa inkunzi lesikhumba sayo, lenyama yayo, lamathumbu ayo wakutshisela phandle kwezihonqo njengalokho uThixo amlaya khona.
But the bullock itself, and its skin and its flesh and its dung, consumed he with fire, outside the camp, —As Yahweh commanded Moses,
18 Waseletha inqama ukuze ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda layo.
Then was brought near the ram for the ascending-sacrifice, —and Aaron and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the ram;
19 UMosi wayihlaba inqama, wasechela igazi layo emaceleni wonke e-alithare.
and it was slain, —and Moses dashed the blood against the altar round about;
20 Wahlahlela inqama yaba ngamaqatha, wasetshisa inhloko, amaqatha lamahwahwa.
and the ram itself, was cut up into its pieces, —and Moses made a perfume with the head and with the pieces and with the fat;
21 Wagezisa ezangaphakathi lemilenze ngamanzi, wasetshisa isidumbu sonke senqama e-alithareni njengomnikelo wokutshiswa, iphunga elimnandi, umnikelo owenziwa kuThixo ngomlilo njengoba uThixo walaya uMosi.
but the inwards and the legs, were bathed in water, —and Moses made a perfume with the whole ram at the altar, an ascending-sacrifice, it was—for a satisfying odour an altar-flame, it was unto Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
22 Waseletha eyinye inqama, eyayizasetshenziswa begcotshelwa izikhundla, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe babeka izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda layo.
Then was brought near the second ram, the ram of installation, and Aaron and his sons leaned their hands upon the head of the ram;
23 UMosi wahlaba inqama, wathatha elinye igazi layo walininda esiqwini sendlebe yokunene ka-Aroni, esithupheni sesandla sakhe sokunene lasozwaneni olukhulu lonyawo lwakhe lwesokunene.
and it was slain, and Moses took of the blood thereof, and put upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, —and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
24 UMosi waletha amadodana ka-Aroni phambili, waseninda elinye igazi eziqwini zendlebe zawo zakwesokudla lasezithupheni zezandla zabo zakwesokudla. Emva kwalokho wasechela igazi emaceleni wonke e-alithare.
Then were brought near the sons of Aaron, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, —and Moses dashed the blood against the altar round about.
25 Wathatha amahwahwa, umsila ononileyo ledanga eligoqela ezangaphakathi, amahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi, izinso zombili lamahwahwa azo kanye lomlenze wakwesokudla.
And he took the fat and the fat-tail, and all the fat that was on the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, —and the right shoulder;
26 Esitsheni sesinkwa esibhekhwa singelamvubelo, esasiphambi kukaThixo, wathatha isinkwa esikhulu, esasixutshaniswe lamafutha e-oliva kanye lesinkwa esincinyane, wasekufaka emahwahweni lasemlenzeni wesokunene.
and out of the basket of unleavened-cakes that was before Yahweh, took he one round unleavened-cake and one round oil-cake, and one wafer, and put them upon the fat portions, and upon the right shoulder;
27 Wabeka konke lokhu ezandleni zika-Aroni lezamadodana akhe, bakuzunguza phambi kukaThixo, kwaba ngumnikelo wokuzunguza.
and placed the whole upon the opened palms of Aaron, and upon the opened palms of his sons, —and waved them as a wave-offering, before Yahweh.
28 UMosi wakuthatha ezandleni zabo wasekutshisela e-alithareni phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa, kwaba ngumnikelo wokugcotshwa olephunga elimnandi, umhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
And Moses took them from off their opened palms, and made a perfume at the altar upon the ascending-sacrifice, —an installation, they were for a satisfying odour, an altar-flame, it was unto Yahweh.
29 UMosi wasethatha isifuba, esesiyisabelo sakhe enqameni yokugcotshwa, wasizunguza phambi kukaThixo njengomnikelo wokuzunguzwa njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
And Moses took the breast, and waved it as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, —of the ram of installation, unto Moses it belonged, as a portion, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
30 UMosi wasethatha amanye amafutha okugcobela isikhundla lelinye igazi elisuka e-alithareni, wasechela u-Aroni lezembatho zakhe kanye lamadodana akhe lezembatho zawo. Ngalokho wangcwelisa u-Aroni lezembatho zakhe, lamadodana akhe lezembatho zawo.
And Moses took of the anointing oil and of the blood that was upon the altar, and sprinkled upon Aaron, upon his garments, and upon his sons and upon the garments of his sons with him, —and hallowed Aaron, his garments, and his sons and the garments of his sons with him.
31 UMosi wasesithi ku-Aroni lamadodana akhe, “Phekelani inyama esangweni lethente lokuhlangana, liyidlele khona lesinkwa esivela esitsheni seminikelo yokugcotshwa njengokulaywa kwami ukuthi ‘u-Aroni lamadodana akhe yibo abazakudla.’
And Moses said unto Aaron and unto his sons Boil ye the flesh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and there, shall ye eat it, and the bread which is in the basket of installation, —as I have been commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons, shall eat it.
32 Beselitshisa yonke inyama lesinkwa okuzasala.
But, that which is left of the flesh, and of the bread, with fire, shall ye consume.
33 Lingasuki esangweni lethente lokuhlangana okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, kuze kuphele amalanga okugcotshwa kwenu, ngoba ukugcotshwa kwenu kuzathatha insuku eziyisikhombisa.
And from the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall ye not go forth for seven days, until the day that filleth up the days of your installation, —because for seven days, will he install you:
34 Lokho okwenziwa namuhla kwalaywa nguThixo ukwenzela ukuthi lilungiselwe indlela yokubuyisana.
as hath been done this day, [so] hath Yahweh commanded to be done, to put a propitiatory-covering over you.
35 Kumele lihlale esangweni lethente lokuhlangana ubusuku lemini, okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lisenza lokho okuyabe kufunwa nguThixo ukuze lingafi, ngoba yikho engakulaywayo.”
Even at the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall ye abide day and night for seven days, and shall keep the watch of Yahweh and shall not die, —for, so, am I commanded.
36 Ngakho u-Aroni lamadodana akhe benza konke uThixo ayebalaye khona ngoMosi.
And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Yahweh had commanded through the mediation of Moses.
