Amanani 4
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni:
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
2 “Balani ingxenye yabaLevi abangamaKhohathi libabale ngosendo langezindlu zabo.
“Mixlẽ Kohat ƒe viwo tso Levi ƒe viwo dome le woƒe towo kple ƒomewo nu.
3 Balani wonke amadoda kusukela kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu kusiya kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu yokuzalwa abeza bezosebenza emsebenzini wethente lokuhlangana.
Mixlẽ ŋutsu siwo xɔ tso ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe blaatɔ̃, eye woate ŋu awɔ dɔ le Agbadɔ la me.
4 Lo yiwo umsebenzi ozakwenziwa ngamaKhohathi ethenteni lokuhlangana, ukulondoloza yonke into engcwelengcwele.
“Esiawoe nye Kohat ƒe viwo ƒe dɔ le agbadɔ la me: nu kɔkɔetɔwo dzi kpɔkpɔ.
5 Nxa kuthuthwa kusukwa ezihonqweni, u-Aroni lamadodana akhe kabangene bayekwethula ikhetheni elisithileyo basibekele ibhokisi lobufakazi ngalo.
Ne asaɖa la le hoho ge la, Aron kple via ŋutsuwo age ɖe Agbadɔ la me gbã. Woaɖe xɔmetsovɔ la, eye woatsɔe atsyɔ nubablaɖaka la dzi.
6 Lokhu bazakugubuzela ngezikhumba zezinyamazana, bendlale ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka phezu kwalokho besebefaka izibambo endaweni yazo.
Emegbe la, woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ atsyɔ xɔmetsovɔ la dzi, atsɔ aɖabɛ blɔtɔ atsyɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la dzi, eye woatsɔ nubablaɖakakɔkpoawo aƒo ɖe eƒe gagodoeawo me.
7 Phezu kwetafula yoBukhona bukaThixo kumele bendlale ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka bafake phezu kwalo imiganu, izinditshi lengubhe, lenkezo zeminikelo enathwayo; kuthi lesosinkwa esihlala sikhonapho sisale phezu kwayo.
“Le esia megbe la, woatsɔ aɖabɛ blɔtɔ la akeke ɖe ŋkumeɖobolo la ƒe kplɔ̃ la dzi, eye woatsɔ agbawo, gatsiwo, trewo kple kpluwo kple abolo la ada ɖe avɔ la dzi.
8 Phezu kwalokhu bazakwendlala ilembu elibomvu, bembese lokho ngezikhumba zezinyamazana besebefaka izibambo ezindaweni zazo.
Woakeke avɔ dzĩtɔ ɖe nu siawo dzi, eye woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la atsyɔ aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ la dzi azɔ. Emegbe la, woatsɔ kplɔ̃kɔkpoawo ade kplɔ̃ la ƒe gagodoeawo me.
9 Kumele bathathe ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka bembese ngalo uluthi lwesibane sokukhanyisa, kanye lezibane zalo, izintambo zesibane kanye lezibambiso zakhona, lemiganu, lezitsha zamafutha zokuthelisa kuso.
“Nu si woagawɔ azɔe nye woatsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ atsyɔ akaɖiti la, akaɖigbɛawo, ɖovulãnuwo, nutɔgbawo kple amigoe la dzi.
10 Besebelugoqela kanye lezinto zalo zonke ngezikhumba zezinyamazana balufakele izibambo zokuthwala.
Ekema woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la atsyɔ nuawo katã dzi, eye woatsɔ nubabla blibo la ada ɖe agbati aɖe dzi.
11 Phezu kwe-alithari legolide kabendlale ilembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka bakugoqele ngezikhumba zezinyamazana besebefaka izibambo zokuthwalisa endaweni yazo.
“Azɔ la, woatsɔ avɔ blɔtɔ atsyɔ sikavɔsamlekpui la dzi, atsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ la atsyɔ eya hã dzi, eye woatsɔ kpoawo aƒo ɖe gagodoeawo me le vɔsamlekpui la ŋu.
12 Bazathatha zonke izinto zokusebenzisa endaweni engcwelengcwele, bazigoqele ngelembu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, bembese lokho ngezikhumba zezinyamazana bafake phezu kwethala lokuthwalisa.
“Ekema woabla nu bubu siwo katã asusɔ ɖe agbadɔ la me la ɖe avɔ blɔtɔ aɖe me, atsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ atsyɔ eya hã dzi, eye woada nubabla la ɖe agbati dzi.
13 Kumele babuthe umlotha bawususe phezu kwe-alithari elilithusi besebesendlala ilembu eliyibubende phezu kwalo.
“Woalɔ dzowɔ le akɔblivɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woatsɔ aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ atsyɔ na vɔsamlekpui la.
14 Besebefaka phezu kwalo zonke izitsha ezisetshenziswa emsebenzini we-alithari, kuhlanganisa lezindengezi zeziko, izitsha zokosa inyama, amafotsholo lemiganu yokuchelisa. Phezu kwalo kumele bendlale isembeso sezikhumba zezinyamazana babe sebefaka izibambo zokuthwalisa endaweni yazo.
Woatsɔ nu siwo katã ŋu dɔ wowɔna le vɔsamlekpui la dzi la ada ɖe avɔ la dzi. Nu siawoe nye afilɔnuwo, gaflowo, sofiwo, zewo kple vɔsamlekpui la dzi nu bubuawo katã, eye woatsɔ tɔmenyigbalẽ atsyɔ wo dzi. Woatsɔ nukɔkpoawo ade woƒe gagodoeawo me.
15 Ngemva kokuba u-Aroni lamadodana akhe sebeqedile ukwembesa impahla zonke ezendawo engcwele lazozonke izinto ezingcwele, kanye lokuthi sebelungele ukusuka, amaKhohathi yiwo okumele eze azothwala. Kodwa akumelanga bathinte izinto ezingcwele ngoba bazakufa. AmaKhohathi azathwala lezozinto ezisethenteni lokuhlangana.
“Ne Aron kple via ŋutsuwo wu agbadodo kple nu kɔkɔeawo kple wo ŋunuwo katã nu vɔ, eye ameha la le klalo be yeaho adzo la, Kohat ƒe viwo ava akɔ agbawo. Ke womekpɔ mɔ aka asi nu kɔkɔeawo ŋu o, be womagaku o. Kohat ƒe viwo akɔ nu siwo katã le agbadɔ la me.
16 U-Eliyazari indodana ka-Aroni, umphristi, uzakhangela amafutha esibane, impepha, umnikelo ojayelekileyo wamabele lamafutha okugcoba abakhethiweyo. Uzagcina ithabanikeli ngonanzelelo layo yonke into ephakathi kwalo, kanye lempahla ezingcwele lezitsha zalo.”
“Nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu, Eleazar, ƒe dɔdeasie nye wòakpɔ akaɖimemiwo, dzudzɔdonu ʋeʋĩwo, gbe sia gbe ƒe nuɖuvɔsa kple ami sisi la dzi. Kpuie ko la, eƒe dɔe nye wòakpɔ Agbadɔ blibo la kple nu siwo katã le eme la dzi.”
17 UThixo watshela uMosi lo-Aroni wathi,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
18 “Nanzelelani ukuthi izizwe zosendo lwamaKhohathi azehlukaniswa labaLevi.
“Kpɔ egbɔ be womeɖe Kohat ƒomea ɖa le Levi ƒe viwo dome o.
19 Lokhu kuyikuthi baphile bengafi nxa bethe basondela phansi kwezinto ezingcwelengcwele, balungiseleni lokhu: U-Aroni lamadodana akhe bazakuya endaweni engcwele bayekwabela indoda yinye ngayinye umsebenzi wayo kanye lalokho okumele bakuthwale.
Be woanɔ agbe, eye womaku o, ne wote ɖe nu kɔkɔewo ŋu la, miwɔ nu siawo na wo: Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ayi ɖe kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wòade dɔ si ame sia ame awɔ kple nu sia nu si wòakɔ la asi nɛ.
20 Kodwa amaKhohathi akumelanga angene ukuthi ayebona izinto ezingcwele, loba okomzuzwana nje kuphela, ngoba bazakufa.”
Ne womekplɔ Kohat ƒe viŋutsuwo yi o la, mele be woage ɖe agbadɔ la me o; ne menye nenema o la, woakpɔ nu kɔkɔeawo le afi ma, eye woaku.”
21 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
22 “Bala njalo amaGeshoni ngezindlu langosendo lwawo.
“Xlẽ Gerson ƒe viŋutsuwo ɖe Levi ƒe viwo dome,
23 Bala wonke amadoda kusukela kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu kusiya kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu yokuzalwa labo abezayo ukuzosebenza ethenteni lokuHlangana.
ame siwo xɔ tso ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe ƒe blaatɔ̃, eye wodze na dɔ kɔkɔe la wɔwɔ le agbadɔ la me.
24 Lo ngumsebenzi okumele wenziwe ngabosendo lwamaGeshoni ekusebenzeni kwabo lekuthwaleni kwabo imithwalo:
“Gerson viwo ƒe dɔdeasie nye be woakɔ:
25 Bazathwala amakhetheni ethabanikeli, ithente lokuhlangana, isembeso salo kanye lesangaphandle esezikhumba zezinyamazana, amakhetheni entuba yethente lokuhlangana,
Nɔƒe la ƒe xɔmetsovɔ, agbadɔ la ŋutɔ kple kpɔ si ƒo xlãe, gbɔ̃gbalẽ si wotsɔ gbã agbadɔ la kple avɔ si le eƒe mɔnu.
26 amakhetheni eguma elihonqolozele ithabanikeli le-alithari, ikhetheni lesango, izintambo lakho konke okusetshenziswa kulo umsebenzi. AmaGeshoni azakwenza konke okumele kwenziwe ngalezizinto.
Woawoe akɔ kpɔ si ƒo xlã nɔƒe la ŋu vɔwo, agbonuvɔ si le nɔƒe si ƒo xlã vɔsamlekpui la kple agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu ƒe vɔsamlekpui la, kawo kple wo ŋu nu bubuawo katã. Woawo ƒe dɔ wònye be woakɔ nu siawo.
27 Imisebenzi yabo yonke abayenzayo, kumbe yikuthwala kumbe ngumsebenzi othile, bazayenza ngokuqondisa kuka-Aroni lamadodana akhe. Uzabapha kube ngumlandu wabo ukuthwala lokho ozabe uthe bakuthwale.
Aron alo via ŋutsuwo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ate ŋu ade dɔ siawo asi na Gerson ƒe viwo,
28 Lokhu kuzakuba ngumsebenzi wabosendo lwamaGeshoni ethenteni lokuhlangana. Umsebenzi wabo bazawenza ngokuqondisa kuka-Ithamari indodana ka-Aroni, umphristi.”
ke esiae nye Gerson viwo ƒe ƒome la ƒe dɔwo le agbadɔ la ŋu, eye woanɔ nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu, Itamar ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te.
29 “Bala amaMerari ngosendo langezindlu zawo.
“Azɔ la, xlẽ Merari ƒe viŋutsuwo ɖe Levi ƒe viwo dome, ŋutsu siwo katã xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe blaatɔ̃, eye wodze na dɔwɔwɔ le Agbadɔ la me.
30 Bala wonke amadoda kusukela kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu kusiya kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu yokuzalwa abezayo ukusebenza ethenteni lokuhlangana.
Xlẽ ŋutsu siwo katã xɔ tso ƒe blaetɔ̃ va se ɖe ƒe blaatɔ̃ le ame siwo va be yewoawɔ agbadɔ la ŋu dɔwo dome
31 Lo yiwo ozakuba ngumsebenzi wabo ethenteni lokuhlangana: ukuthwala amathala ethabanikeli, imithando yalo, izinsika lezisekelo,
Esiae nye woƒe dɔdeasi si woawɔ le agbadɔ la ŋuti dɔwo wɔwɔ me: woakɔ ʋuƒowo, gamedetiawo, sɔtiawo kple woƒe afɔwo,
32 kanye lezinsika ezihonqolozele iguma kanye lezisekelo zazo, izikhonkwane zethente, amagoda, izitsha zakhona lakho konke okuhambelana lokusetshenziswa kwazo. Batshengise bonke munye ngamunye lezozinto abafanele bazithwale.

33 Lo yiwo umsebenzi ozakwenziwa ngabosendo lwamaMerari ekusebenzeni kwabo ethenteni lokuhlangana beqondiswa ngu-Ithamari indodana ka-Aroni, umphristi.”
Merari ƒe viwo hã awɔ dɔ le agbadɔ la ŋu le nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu Itamar ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.”
34 UMosi, u-Aroni labakhokheli babantu babala amaKhohathi ngosendo langezindlu zawo.
Ale Mose kple Aron kple kplɔla bubuawo xlẽ Kohat ƒe viwo
35 Wonke amadoda aleminyaka esukela kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu kusiya kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu abezayo ukusebenza ethenteni lokuhlangana,

Wode ŋutsu akpe eve, alafa adre blaatɔ̃.
37 Leli linani eligcweleyo lalabo abosendo lwamaKhohathi abasebenza ethenteni lokuhlangana. UMosi lo-Aroni babala njengokulaywa kwabo nguThixo etshela uMosi.
Esiawo nye ame siwo katã Mose kple Aron tia xlẽ le Kohat viwo ƒe ƒome la me be woawɔ dɔ le agbadɔ la ŋu abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
38 AmaGeshoni abalwa ngensendo langezindlu zawo.
Eye wotia Gerson ƒe viwo xlẽ le woƒe ƒome kple aƒewo nu.
39 Wonke amadoda aleminyaka yokuzalwa engamatshumi amathathu kusiya kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu ababesebenza ethenteni lokuhlangana,
Woxlẽ ame siwo katã xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ alo wu nenema la va se ɖe ƒe blaatɔ̃, eye woate ŋu awɔ dɔ le Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la ŋu.

Ame siwo wotia, xlẽ le woƒe ƒomewo kple aƒewo nu la le ame akpe eve alafa ade, blaetɔ̃.
41 Leli linani eligcweleyo lwensendo zamaGeshoni abasebenza ethenteni lokuhlangana. UMosi lo-Aroni babala njengokulaywa kwabo nguThixo.
Ame siawo nye ame siwo katã Mose kple Aron tia, xlẽ le Gerson ƒe viwo ƒe ƒome la me, eye woate ŋu awɔ dɔ le agbadɔ la ŋu abe ale si Yehowa de se ene.

Eye wotia amewo, xlẽ le Merari ƒe viwo ƒe ƒome la kple aƒewo nu.
43 Wonke amadoda ayeleminyaka yokuzalwa esukela kwabalamatshumi amathathu kusiya kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu ababezosebenza ethenteni lokuhlangana,
Woxlẽ ame siwo katã xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ alo wu nenema la va se ɖe ƒe blaatɔ̃, eye woate ŋu awɔ dɔ le Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la ŋu.

45 Leli kwaba linani eligcweleyo kwabosendo lwamaMerari. UMosi lo-Aroni babala njengokulaya kukaThixo elaya uMosi.
Esiawoe nye ame siwo Mose kple Aron wotia, xlẽ le Merari ƒe viwo ƒe ƒome la me abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene.
