28 Inengi labantu, abaphristi, abaLevi, abalindimasango, abahlabeleli, lezinceku zethempeli labo bonke abazehlukanisayo ebantwini bezizwe ngenxa yoMthetho kaNkulunkulu, kanye lamakhosikazi abo lamadodana lamadodakazi abo ayeseqedisisa
Ife otsalafe, ndiye kuti ansembe, Alevi, alonda a ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, oyimba nyimbo, ogwira ntchito ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, onse amene anadzipatula pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kuti atsate malamulo a Yehova, pamodzi ndi akazi athu, ana athu ndi onse amene ali ndi nzeru,
29 bonke bahlanganyela labafowabo ababeyizikhulu, ukuzibopha ngesiqalekiso langesifungo ukuwulandela uMthetho kaNkulunkulu owanikwa ngoMosi inceku kaNkulunkulu lokulalela kuhle yonke imilayo, leziqondiso lezimemezelo zikaThixo iNkosi yethu.
tikuphatikana ndi abale athu wolemekezeka, ndipo tikulonjeza molumbira kuti tidzayenda motsata malamulo a Mulungu amene anapereka kudzera mwa Mose mtumiki wa Mulungu. Tilonjeza kumvera ndi kutsata bwino mawu onse, miyambo yonse ndi malangizo onse a Yehova. Yehova atilange ngati sitidzachita zimenezi.
30 Sithembisa ukuthi kasiyikwendisa amadodakazi ethu ebantwini esakhelene labo loba sithathele amadodana ethu amadodakazi abo.
“Ife tikulonjeza kuti sitidzapereka ana athu aakazi kuti akwatiwe ndi amuna a mayiko ena kapena kutenga ana awo aakazi kuti akwatiwe ndi ana athu aamuna.
31 Nxa labo esakhelene labo beletha impahla kumbe amabele okuthengiswa ngeSabatha, kasiyikuthenga kubo ngeSabatha loba ngaliphi ilanga elingcwele. Kuwo wonke umnyaka wesikhombisa sizayekela amasimu ethu alaluke njalo sizacitsha zonke izikwelede.
“Ngati anthu a mitundu ina abwera ndi zinthu za malonda, monga tirigu, kudzagulitsa pa tsiku la Sabata, sitidzawagula pa tsiku la Sabata kapena pa tsiku lina lililonse loyera. Pa chaka chilichonse cha chisanu ndi chiwiri tidzagoneka munda wosawulima ndipo tidzafafaniza ngongole zonse.
32 Siyazethesa umlandu wokugcwalisa umlayo wokupha okwesithathu kweshekeli ngomnyaka okomsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu:
“Tikulonjezanso molumbira kuti chaka ndi chaka tizipereka magalamu anayi a siliva kuti zithandize ntchito ya ku Nyumba ya Mulungu wathu.
33 okwesinkwa esibekwe etafuleni; okomnikelo wenjayelo owamabele lowokutshiswa; okweminikelo yamaSabatha, eyamadili okuThwasa kweNyanga leminye imikhosi emisiweyo; eyiminikelo engcwele, iminikelo yesono yokubuyisana eka-Israyeli; leyayo yonke imilandu yendlini kaNkulunkulu.
Ndalamayi izithandiza kulipirira buledi wa pa tebulo, chopereka cha chakudya cha nthawi zonse, zopereka zopsereza za nthawi zonse, zopereka za pa tsiku la Sabata, za pachikondwerero cha Mwezi Watsopano, za pa masiku a chikondwerero osankhika, zopereka za zinthu zopatulika, zopereka za nsembe yopepesera machimo a Aisraeli ndi ntchito ina iliyonse ya ku Nyumba ya Mulungu.
34 Thina abaphristi, abaLevi labantu sesenze inkatho ukubona ukuthi yiphi imuli emele ilethe inkuni ngasiphi isikhathi endlini kaNkulunkulu ezokutshiswa e-alithareni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni.
“Ife ansembe, Alevi ndi anthu onse, tachita maere kuti tidziwe pamene banja lathu lililonse lidzabweretsa ku nyumba ya Mulungu wathu pa nthawi yoyikika ya chaka zopereka za nkhuni zoyaka pa guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wathu, monga momwe zinalembedwera mʼMalamulo.”
35 Njalo sizethesa umlandu wokuletha endlini kaThixo umnyaka ngomnyaka izithelo zakuqala zamabele ethu lokwezithelo zonke zezihlahla.
“Tilonjezanso kuti tidzabwera ndi zipatso zoyamba kucha za mʼminda yathu ndi zipatso zoyamba kucha za mtengo uliwonse wa zipatso chaka ndi chaka kuti tidzapereke ku Nyumba ya Mulungu wathu.”
36 Njengoba kulotshiwe njalo eMthethweni, sizaletha amazibulo amadodana ethu, awenkomo zethu, lawemihlambi yethu yezimvu endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu, kubaphristi abasebenza khona.
“Tidzabweranso nawo ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, kwa ansembe amene amatumikira ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ana athu aamuna oyamba kubadwa ndi ana angʼombe oyamba kubadwa monga zalembedwera mu Malamulo. Tidzaperekanso ana oyamba kubadwa a ziweto zathu ndi ana ankhosa oyamba kubadwa.”
37 Futhi njalo, sizaletha okuya eziphaleni zasendlini kaNkulunkulu, kubaphristi, okokuqala kwempuphu yethu, okweminikelo yamabele ethu, izithelo zezihlahla zethu zonke lewayini lethu elitsha kanye lamafutha. Njalo sizaletha okwetshumi okwamabele ethu kubaLevi, ngoba ngabaLevi abaqoqa okwetshumi kuwo wonke amadolobho esisebenza kuwo.
“Ndiponso ku zipinda za Nyumba ya Mulungu wathu, kwa ansembe tidzaperekanso mtanda wathu wa buledi wa ufa ndi mphatso zina monga zipatso za mtengo uliwonse, vinyo ndi mafuta. Tidzaperekanso kwa alevi chakhumi cha mbewu zathu pakuti alevi ndiwo amasonkhanitsa chakhumi mʼmidzi yathu yonse.
38 Umphristi odabuka ku-Aroni kaphelekezele abaLevi besamukela okwetshumi, njalo abaLevi kumele balethe okwetshumi okomnikelo wetshumi kuze endlini kaNkulunkulu, eziphaleni eziqondane lesikhwama.
Wansembe, mdzukulu wa Aaroni azikhala pamodzi ndi Alevi pamene akulandira chakhumi. Ndipo Alevi azibwera ndi chakhumicho ku nyumba ya Mulungu wathu, kuzipinda zosungiramo chuma.”
39 Abantu bako-Israyeli, kanye labaLevi, bamele balethe iminikelo yabo yamabele, iwayini elitsha lamafutha eziphaleni lapho okugcinwa khona impahla zendlu engcwele, njalo lapho okuhlala khona abaphristi abasebenzayo labalindimasango labahlabeleli. “Kasiyikuyidela indlu kaNkulunkulu.”
Choncho Israeli, kuphatikiza zidzukulu za Alevi, azipititsa zopereka za tirigu, vinyo ndi mafuta ku zipinda zosungiramo katundu wopatulika, komanso kokhala ansembe amene akutumikira pamodzi ndi alonda a ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi anthu oyimba nyimbo. “Kwambiri ife sitidzaleka kusamala Nyumba ya Mulungu.”
