1 UThixo wathi ku-Aroni, “Wena, lamadodana akho labemuli kayihlo lizakuba lomlandu wokukhangela ukwephulwa kwemithetho yendawo yokukhonzela, njalo wena kanye lamadodana akho yini lodwa elizakuba lomlandu walabo abonela abaphristi.

Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Aronina asami'ne, Kagrane Livae naga'mo'zane mofavre nagakamo'zanema ruotage'ma hu'nea seli mono noni'afima pristi eri'zama eriso'ema osnazana, kna'a tamagra'a erigahaze.

2 Letha abaLevi bakini bevela ezizwaneni zabokhokho benu bazohlanganyela kunye lani bakuphathise wena lamadodana akho lapho lisenza inkonzo phambi kwethente lobufakazi.

Hagi tamafuhe'i Livae nagara zamavareta enke'za, tamagrane erimago hu'za tamaza hanageta seli mono nomofo avuga eri'zana eriho.

3 Bazakuba ngaphansi kwakho njalo benze yonke imisebenzi yasethenteni, kodwa akumelanga basondele phansi kwezimpahla zendlu engcwele kumbe e-alithareni, funa lonke, wena kanye labo life.

Hagi zamagra maka tamagrama zamisaza eri'za e'neri'za, seli mono nomofo eri'zana eriho. Hianagi ruotage'ma hu'nea zantaminte'ene, kresramna vu itarera erava'o osiho. Hagi erava'oma hanazana tamagrane, zmagranena frigahaze.

4 Kumele bahlanganele lawe babelomlandu wokunakekela ithente lokuhlangana, wonke umsebenzi wethenteni, njalo akungabibikho loyedwa ozasondela lapho wena okhona.

Livae vahe'mo'zage seli mono nompina eri'zana tamaza hu'za eriho. Hianagi ru vahe'mo'za erava'o osuge, eri'zana tamaza hu'za e'origahaze.

5 Wena uzakuba lomlandu wokugcina indlu engcwele le-alithari, ukuze abako-Israyeli bangehlelwa lulaka njalo.

Hagi kagrake seli mono nompi eri'zane, kresramna vu itare'enena eri'zana erigahane. E'inahukna hanankeno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'mota arimpa aheoramantegahie.

6 Mina ngokwami ngibakhethile abafowenu abaLevi phakathi kwabako-Israyeli ukuba babe yisipho kuwe, behlukanisele uThixo ukuba benze umsebenzi ethenteni lokuhlangana.

Hagi ko, Nagra'a Israeli vahepintira Livae nagara zamavare'na mago museza zamiaza hu'na negamina, zamazeri ruotage huge'za seli mono nompina eri'zana e'nerize.

7 Kodwa wena kanye lamadodana akho yini lodwa elivunyelwayo ukwenza umsebenzi wobuphristi kukho konke okuse-alithareni langaphakathi kwekhetheni. Ngikunika umsebenzi wobuphristi kukho konke okuse-alithareni langaphakathi kwekhetheni. Ngikunika umsebenzi wobuphristi njengesipho. Loba ngubani omunye ozasondela endaweni engcwele kumele abulawe.”

Hianagi kagrane mofavreka'aramine pristi eri'zane, kresramna vu itare'ene, hunagru'ma hu'nefinka eri'zana erigahaze. Hagi muse'za tamiankna hu'na pristi eri'zana tami'noanki, ru vahe'mo'zama seli mono nomofo tavaonte'ma erava'oma hanazana zamahe friho.

8 UThixo wasesithi ku-Aroni, “Mina ngokwami yimi engikunike umlandu wokukhangela iminikelo eyethulelwa mina, yonke iminikelo engcwele engiyiphiwa ngabako-Israyeli ngiyinika wena lamadodana akho ukuba kube yingxenye yesabelo sakho esimi njalo.

Anante Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno mago'ane Aronina asmi'ne, Veamo'zama ofama eri'za esaza ofaramina kegavama hu eri'zana, kagri kamuankinka ruotage'ma hu'nea ofama Israeli vahe'mo'za eri'za esazana kagri'ene mofavre zagaka'ane tamamuankita anampintira tamagra'a suzana maka kna erigahaze.

9 Kumele uzuze leyongxenye yomnikelo ongcwelengcwele ongatshiswanga. Kuzozonke izipho abaziletha kimi zingumnikelo ongcwelengcwele, loba ngowamabele loba ngowesono kumbe owecala, leyongxenye yomnikelo ngeyakho lamadodana akho.

Ama'i ruotage'ma hu'nea ofama tevefima negrenka atresanama'ane, muse ofane, witi ofane, kumizmire'ma hu ofane, hazenke'ma hu'nesaza zante'ma hu ofama eri'za eme namisazana, ruotage hu'neakino kagri'ene mofavre nagakamofo su'a megahie.

10 Idle njengento engcwelengcwele; wonke owesilisa kumele ayidle. Kumele akuphathe njengento engcwele.

E'i ruotage hu'nea ofagita kagrane, ne' mofavre nagakamo'zane ruotage hu'ne hutma nentahita negahaze.

11 Lokhu lakho ngokwakho: konke okubekwa eceleni kwalezizipho zonke zomnikelo wokuzunguzwa zako-Israyeli. Lokhu ngikunika wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho ukuba kube yisabelo esimi njalo. Kuzakuthi wonke owendlu yakho ohlambulukileyo ngokomkhuba avunyelwe ukudla.

Hagi eri verave hu ofama Israeli vahe'mo'zama eri'zama esaza ofa kagri'ene ne'mofaka'ane miko nagaka'ane zamue. Hagi ana ne'zana, Nagri navure'ma agruma hu'nesaza nagakamo'zage negahaze.

12 Ngikunika wonke amafutha acengekileyo e-oliva lewayini lonke elitsha elicengekileyo kanye lamabele abawanika uThixo kuyizithelo zakuqala zesivuno sabo.

Hagi maka knare'ma hu'nea olivi masavene, knare'ma hu'nea wainine, knare'ma hu'nea witine, ese ne'zama hamare'za Ra Anumzamo'na eme namisazana, kagri kamue.

13 Zonke izithelo zakuqala zomlimela abaziletha kuThixo ngezakho. Kuzakuthi wonke owendlu yakho ohlambulukileyo ngokomkhuba avunyelwe ukudla.

Hagi ese ne'zama afumaresige'za eri'za esazana, agruma hu'nesaza nagaka'amozage negahaze.

14 Yonke into yako-Israyeli emiselwe uThixo ngeyakho.

Maka'zama Ra Anumzamo'nama nami'nesaza zana, amne kagra erigahane.

15 Amazibulo wonke azelweyo, kuhlanganisela awabantu kanye lawezinyamazana, anikelwe kuThixo ngawakho. Kodwa uzahlenga wonke amadodana angamazibulo kanye lawo wonke amazibulo amaduna ezinyamazana ezingcolileyo.

Hagi ese mofavre'ma Israeli vahe'mozo, zagagafamo'zama kasentesage'za, Ra Anumzamonare ofa eme namisazana kagri'za megahie. Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zane zmagonesa mofavrene, agruma osu'nesia zagagafarera nona hu'za mizaseza avreho.

16 Kuzakuthi zingafikisa inyanga eyodwa zizelwe uzihlenge ngentengo yokuhlenga ayisilinganiso samashekeli amahlanu esiliva, kusiya ngesilinganiso seshekeli lendlu engcwele, eyisisindo esingamagera angamatshumi amabili.

Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za mago ikama hu'nesia agonesa mofavrere'ma ete mizase'za zamavaresaza mizana, seli mono nompi zagomofo avamente erinte'za 5fu'a silva zagoa mizasegahaze.

17 Kodwa ungahlengi amazibulo enkomo, loba awemvu loba awembuzi; ngoba angcwele. Chela igazi lawo e-alithareni ubusutshisa amahwahwa awo kube ngumhlatshelo wokudla, iphunga elimnandi elithokozisa uThixo.

Hianagi bulimakao'o, sipisipio meme afumo'zama ese kasezmantesa anentara, ruotage hu'neankino ete Israeli vahe'mo'za mizana osegahaze. Hagi kagra kresramna vu itare korazmia taginka ru tritri nehunka, afova'a tevefi kregeno, sramnamo'a kumpi marerinke'na Ra Anumzamo'na mna'a nentahina musena haneno.

18 Inyama yawo izakuba ngeyakho njengoba isifuba somnikelo wokuzunguzwa kanye lomlenze kungokwakho.

Hagi ana ofama hu afumofo ame'a tamagri suza mesigeno, eri verave hu ofama nehaza ahihiza'ane, tamaga kaziga amo'anena tamagri su'za megahie.

19 Loba kuyini okubekwe eceleni eminikelweni engcwele eyethulwe ngabako-Israyeli kuThixo ngikunika wena kanye lamadodana njalo lamadodakazi akho ukuba kube yisabelo senu senjayelo. Lesi yisivumelwano setswayi esingapheliyo phambi kukaThixo, esakho kanye lenzalo yakho.”

Hagi meninteti'ma agafama huno'ma vaniana, Israeli vahe'mo'zama Ra Anumzamo'nare'ma eri'za esaza ofamo'a tamagri'ene, ne'mofatamimofo suza mevava hugahie. Hagi ama ana zamo'a mevava huhagerafi huvempage Nagrite'ene henkama tamagripinti fore'ma hanaza vahetera meno vugahie.

20 UThixo wathi ku-Aroni, “Wena kawuyikuba lelifa elizweni labo, njalo awuyikuba lesabelo phakathi kwabo; mina ngiyisabelo sakho kanye lelifa lakho phakathi kwabako-Israyeli.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Aronina amanage huno asami'ne, Israeli mopafina tamagra mago mopa erinafa'a osugahze. Tamagrama eri santima hare'nazazana Nagrake'za manigahue.

21 AbaLevi ngibanika konke okwetshumi kwelako-Israyeli kube yilifa labo ngenxa yomsebenzi abawenza ethenteni lokuhlangana.

Hagi Livae naga'nofimo'za atruma hu seli mono nompima eri'zama erisa mizana, Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevu ante'nenafinti mago kevuma namisaza zantaminteti, ana eri'zama erisarera erisantima hare'saza zana zamigahue.

22 Kusukela khathesi abako-Israyeli akumelanga basondele ethenteni lokuhlangana, funa babelomlandu wesono sabo bafe.

Hagi meninteti'ma agafama huno vaniana Israeli vahepinti'ma Livae naga'ma omaninesimo'a, atruma hu seli mono nontera uravaoa osino. Hagi urava'oma hanimo'a kumi hugahiankino, ana nona'a frigahie.

23 NgabaLevi okufanele benze umsebenzi ethenteni lokuhlangana njalo baphathe umsebenzi wokukhangela abonayo ethenteni. Lesi yisimiso esingapheliyo lakuzizukulwane ezizayo. Kabayikuzuza ilifa phakathi kwabako-Israyeli.

Hagi Livae naga'mozage atruma hu seli mono nompina vahe kumima apasezmante eri'zana erigahaze. Hagi ama tra kemo'a mevava hugahianki'za, henkama fore'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za amage antegahaze. Hagi Israeli mopafina Livae vahe'mokizmia mopazamia omanegahie.

24 Kodwa-ke abaLevi ngibanika okwetshumi okwethulwa ngabako-Israyeli njengomnikelo kuThixo kube yilifa labo. Kokuqondene labo yikho ngathi: ‘Kabayikuba lelifa phakathi kwabako-Israyeli.’”

Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'za 10ni'a kevu antenenafinti mago kevuma ofama Ra Anumzamo'na namisaza zantamina erisante'maharesaza zana zamigahue. Hagi e'i ana agafare Israeli vahepina, Livae naga'mozama erisantima haresaza mopa omanegahie.

25 UThixo wathi kuMosi,

Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena amanage huno asami'ne,

26 “Tshela abaLevi utsho lokhu kubo: ‘Lapho lisamukela okwetshumi engilinika khona kuvela kwabako-Israyeli njengelifa lenu, kumele likhuphe ingxenye yetshumi kokwetshumi kube ngumnikelo kuThixo.

Kagra Livae nagara ke hunka zamasamige'za Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevu ante'nenafinti mago kevuma eri'za emema namisafintira eri'na tamagrira tamigahuanki, anampintira ete hamprinkeno 10nima hania kevua namigahaze.

27 Umnikelo wenu uzabalelwa kini njengamabele avela esizeni loba umhluzi ovela esihluzweni sewayini.

Hagi ana ofama hanage'na, Ra Anumzamo'na nege'na, hoza tamifinti ese witi hamareta ofa haze nehu'na, wainima regatitima nehazafinti ese waini ofa nehaze hu'na hugahue.

28 Ngale indlela lani lizakwethula eyenu iminikelo kuThixo kukho konke okwetshumi elizakwamukela kuvela kwabako-Israyeli. Kulokho okwetshumi kumele liphe okuyisabelo sikaThixo ku-Aroni umphristi.

E'inahu kante Israeli vahe'mo'zama 10ni'a kevuma ante'nafinti mago kevuma eme tami'nazana refko huta Ra Anumzamo'na ofa hunantegahaze. Hagi ana ofama Ra Anumzamo'nama namisazana pristi ne' Aroni erigahie.

29 Kumele lethule njengesabelo sikaThixo okuhle ukwedlula konke njalo kungokungcwelengcwele kwakho konke elikuphiweyo.’

Hagi maka musezama taminafintira knare'zantfama hu'nesiama'a Ra Anumzamo'na namigahaze.

30 Tshela abaLevi uthi: ‘Nxa lisethula okuhle kakhulu, kuzaphathwa kini njengesithelo esivela esizeni loba esihluzweni sewayini.

Ana hu'negu Livae nagara zamasamio, anama knare'ma hu'neama'ama ofama hanage'na, Ra Anumzamo'na nege'na, hoza tamifinti witi hamareta ofa haze nehu'na, wainima regatiti'ma nehazafinti waini ofa nehaze hu'na hugahie.

31 Lina kanye labezindlu zenu lingadla konke okunye ngaphi langaphi, ngoba kuyinkokhelo yenu yomsebenzi ethenteni lokuhlangana.

Hagi Livae naga'mota seli mono nompi eri'zama e'neriza zamofo mizama'agita, a'mofavre taminena inantegama ana ne'zama nenaku'ma hanarega amne negahaze.

32 Ngokwethula okuhle kulakho konke aliyikuba lecala kulokho; ngakho kaliyikungcolisa iminikelo engcwele yako-Israyeli, njalo kaliyikufa.’”

Hagi knare'ma hu'nesia ne'zama ofama hanuta, kumira osugahaze. Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama eme tamisaza ruotage ne'zama amnezane huta eri havizama hanuta, haviza hugahazankita knazama'a tamagra'a erita frigahaze.
