U-Eksodusi 29
1 Yile-ke into ozayenza kubo ukubehlukanisa ukuthi bangisebenzele njengabapristi. Thatha ijongosi elilodwa ithole lenkomo, lenqama ezimbili ezingelasici,
Now this is how you are to proceed to dedicate them to serve me as priests. Take a young bull and two rams with no defects.
2 lesinkwa esingelamvubelo, lamaqebelengwana angelamvubelo ahlanganiswe lamafutha, lezinkwana eziyizipatalala ezingelamvubelo ezinindwe ngamafutha, uzenze ngempuphu ecolekileyo yengqoloyi;
Then using the best wheat flour, make the following without yeast: bread, cakes mixed with olive oil, and wafers sprinkled with olive oil.
3 ukufake esitsheni esisodwa, ukusondeze ngesitsha, kanye lejongosi lenqama ezimbili.
Put them all in a basket, and bring them as an offering, along with the bull and the two rams.
4 Usondeze uAroni lamadodana akhe emnyango wethente lenhlangano, ubagezise ngamanzi;
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water.
5 uthathe izembatho, ugqokise uAroni isigqoko, lebhatshi le-efodi, le-efodi, lesembatho sesifuba, umbophe ngebhanti elelukwe ngobungcitshi le-efodi,
Take the clothes and put them on Aaron: the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastpiece. Tie the ephod on him with its waistband.
6 umthwalise iqhiye ekhanda lakhe, umthwalise umqhele ongcwele phezu kweqhiye.
Wrap the turban on his head and attach the holy crown to the turban.
7 Uthathe amafutha okugcoba, uwathele ekhanda lakhe, umgcobe.
Then use the anointing oil to anoint him by pouring it over his head.
8 Usondeze lamadodana akhe, uwagqokise izigqoko.
Then have his sons come and put the tunics on them.
9 Ubabophe ngamabhanti, uAroni lamadodana akhe, ubabophele izingowane, lobupristi bube ngobabo ngesimiso saphakade. Ubehlukanise-ke uAroni lamadodana akhe.
Tie the sashes around Aaron and his sons and put headdresses on them. The priesthood belongs to them forever. This is how you are to ordain Aaron and his sons.
10 Uzasondeza ijongosi phambi kwethente lenhlangano; njalo uAroni lamadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo enhlokweni yejongosi;
Take the bull to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to place their hands on its head.
11 ubusulihlaba ijongosi phambi kweNkosi emnyango wethente lenhlangano,
Then slaughter the bull in the Lord's presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
12 uthathe okwegazi lejongosi, ulifake empondweni zelathi ngomunwe wakho, uthululele lonke igazi esisekelweni selathi.
Take some of the bull's blood and smear it on the horns of the altar with your finger. Then pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
13 Uzathatha idanga lonke, lamahwahwa aphezu kwesibindi, lezinso zombili, lamahwahwa aphezu kwazo, ukutshise elathini.
Take all the fat that covers the intestines, the best parts of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and burn them on the altar.
14 Kodwa inyama yejongosi lesikhumba salo lomswane walo ukutshise ngomlilo ngaphandle kwenkamba; kungumnikelo wesono.
But burn the bull's meat, its hide, and its excrement outside the camp—it is an offering for sin.
15 Ubusuthatha inqama ibenye; njalo uAroni lamadodana akhe babeke izandla zabo phezu kwenhloko yenqama.
Next have Aaron and his sons place their hands on the head of one of the rams.
16 Ubusuyihlaba inqama, uthathe igazi layo, ulifafaze elathini uligombolozele.
Slaughter the ram, take its blood, and splash it all around the altar.
17 Uyiqume inqama ngeziqa zayo, ugezise imibilini yayo lemilenze yayo, ukubeke phezu kweziqa zayo laphezu kwenhloko yayo,
Cut the ram in pieces, wash the intestines and legs, and put them with the other pieces and the head.
18 utshise inqama yonke elathini. Kungumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini, kuluqhatshi olumnandi, umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
Then burn all of the ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord to be accepted by him.
19 Uzathatha inqama yesibili; uAroni lamadodana akhe babesebebeka izandla zabo phezu kwenhloko yenqama.
Then have Aaron and his sons place their hands the head of the other ram.
20 Uyihlabe-ke inqama, uthathe okwegazi layo, ulifake eqwangeni lwendlebe kaAroni, leqwangeni lwendlebe yokunene yamadodana akhe, lesithupheni sesandla sabo sokunene, lezwaneni olukhulu lonyawo lwabo lokunene, ufafaze igazi elathini uligombolozele.
Slaughter the ram, and put some of its blood on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Splash the rest of its blood all around the altar.
21 Uthathe okwegazi eliselathini lokwamafutha okugcoba, ukufafaze phezu kukaAroni, laphezu kwezembatho zakhe, laphezu kwamadodana akhe, laphezu kwezembatho zamadodana akhe kanye laye, ukuze abe ngcwele lezembatho zakhe, lamadodana akhe lezembatho zamadodana akhe kanye laye.
Take some of the blood from the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and on his sons and their clothes. Then he and his clothes will be made holy, likewise his sons and their clothes.
22 Uthathe enqameni amahwahwa, lomsila ononileyo, ledanga, lamahwahwa esibindi, lezinso zombili, lamahwahwa aphezu kwazo, lomlenze wokunene, ngoba iyinqama yokwehlukaniswa;
Take the fat from the ram, including the fat of its broad tail, the fat covering the intestines, the best parts of the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, as well as the right thigh (because this is a ram for ordination).
23 lesinkwa esiyindilinga esisodwa, leqebelengwana elilodwa elesinkwa esilamafutha, lesinkwana esiyisipatalala esisodwa, esitsheni sezinkwa ezingelamvubelo esiphambi kweNkosi,
Also take one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with olive oil, and one wafer from the basket of bread made without yeast that is in the Lord's presence.
24 ukubeke konke ezandleni zikaAroni lezandleni zamadodana akhe, ukuzunguze ukuze kube ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi.
Give all of them to Aaron and his sons to wave before the Lord as a wave offering.
25 Ukuthathe ezandleni zabo, ukutshise phezu kwelathi phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa, ukuze kube luqhatshi olumnandi phambi kweNkosi; kungumnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
Then take the different breads back and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering to the Lord to be accepted by him.
26 Uzathatha isifuba senqama yokwehlukaniswa engekaAroni, usizunguze sibe ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi, njalo sibe yisabelo sakho.
Take the breast of the ram of Aaron's ordination and wave it before the Lord as a wave offering. This is the part you can keep.
27 Uzasingcwelisa isifuba somnikelo wokuzunguzwa lomlenze womnikelo wokuphakanyiswa ozunguzwayo lophakanyiswayo, okwenqama yokwehlukaniswa, okwalokho okungokukaAroni lokwalokho okungokwamadodana akhe;
Set apart for Aaron and his sons the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the offering that is lifted up, both taken from the ram of ordination.
28 njalo kuzakuba ngokukaAroni lokwamadodana akhe, kube yisimiso saphakade kuvela kubantwana bakoIsrayeli; ngoba kungumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa; kuzakuba ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa ovela kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, eminikelweni yabo yokuthula; umnikelo wabo wokuphakanyiswa eNkosini.
From now on whenever the Israelites lift up peace offerings to the Lord, these parts will belong to Aaron and his sons forever as a regular share from the Israelites.
29 Lezembatho ezingcwele zikaAroni zizakuba ngezamadodana akhe emva kwakhe, ukuze agcotshwe embethe zona, lokuze ehlukaniswe embethe zona.
The holy garments that Aaron has will be passed down to his descendants, so they can wear them when they're anointed and ordained.
30 Insuku eziyisikhombisa umpristi endaweni yakhe, ovela kumadodana akhe, uzazembatha, nxa engena ethenteni lenhlangano ukukhonza endaweni engcwele.
The descendant who succeeds him as priest and enters the Tent of Meeting to serve in the Holy Place must wear them for the seven days of his ordination.
31 Uzathatha-ke inqama yokwehlukaniswa, upheke inyama yayo endaweni engcwele.
Take the ram of ordination and boil its meat in a holy place.
32 Njalo uAroni lamadodana akhe bazakudla inyama yenqama lesinkwa esisesitsheni emnyango wethente lenhlangano,
Aaron and his sons are to eat the ram's meat, and the bread that is in the basket, at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
33 badle lezozinto okwenziwa ngazo inhlawulo yokuthula, ukubehlukanisa, ukubangcwelisa; kodwa owemzini angazidli ngoba zingcwele.
They are to eat the meat and the bread that were part of the offerings that symbolized the forgiveness required for their ordination and dedication. No one else may eat them, because they are holy.
34 Njalo uba kusala okwenyama yokwehlukaniswa kumbe okwesinkwa kuze kuse, tshisa okuseleyo ngomlilo; kungadliwa, ngoba kungcwele.
If any of the meat of ordination or any bread remains until the morning, burn what's left. It must not be eaten, because it's holy.
35 Uzakwenza njalo-ke kuAroni lakumadodana akhe njengakho konke engikulaya khona; insuku eziyisikhombisa uzabehlukanisa.
This is the process you are to follow for Aaron and his sons, observing all the instructions I have given you. It will take seven days to ordain them.
36 Insuku ngensuku unikele ijongosi lomnikelo wesono wenhlawulo yokuthula; uhlambulule ilathi lapho ulenzela inhlawulo yokuthula, uligcobe ukuze ulingcwelise.
Every day you are to sacrifice a bull as a sin offering for forgiveness. When you do this the altar needs to be purified. Anoint it to make it holy.
37 Ulenzele ilathi inhlawulo yokuthula insuku eziyisikhombisa, ulingcwelise, lelathi lizakuba yingcwelengcwele; konke okulithintayo ilathi kuzakuba ngcwele.
For seven days you shall purify the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become completely holy, and everything that touches the altar will become holy.
38 Yilokhu-ke ozakunikela phezu kwelathi: Amawundlu amabili alomnyaka owodwa insuku ngensuku njalonjalo.
You are to offer two lambs that are a year old on the altar, daily and continually.
39 Elinye iwundlu uzalinikela ekuseni, lelinye iwundlu ulinikele kusihlwa,
In the morning offer one lamb, and offer the other one in the evening before it gets dark.
40 lokwetshumi kwempuphu ecolekileyo kuxubene lengxenye yesine yehini yamafutha agigiweyo, lengxenye yesine yehini yewayini kube ngumnikelo wokunathwayo, welinye iwundlu.
With the first lamb also offer a tenth of an ephah of best quality flour, mixed with a quarter of a hin of olive oil, and a drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine.
41 Lelinye iwundlu ulinikele kusihlwa, wenze kulo njengomnikelo wokudla wekuseni, lanjengomnikelo wawo wokunathwayo, kube luqhatshi olumnandi, umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
Then offer the second lamb in the evening, with the same grain and drink offerings as in the morning, a burnt offering to the Lord and accepted by him.
42 Uzakuba ngumnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo ezizukulwaneni zenu, emnyango wethente lenhlangano phambi kweNkosi, lapho engizahlangana khona lani, ukukhuluma lawe lapho.
These burnt offerings will be made continually for all generations at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting in the Lord's presence. I will meet you there to speak with you.
43 Lalapho ngizahlangana labantwana bakoIsrayeli, njalo kungcweliswe yinkazimulo yami.
I will meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be made holy by my glory.
44 Njalo ngizangcwelisa ithente lenhlangano lelathi, ngizangcwelisa loAroni lamadodana akhe, ukuze bangisebenzele njengabapristi.
In this way I will dedicate the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I will dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.
45 Ngizahlala phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngibe nguNkulunkulu kubo.
Then I will live with the Israelites and be their God.
46 Bazakwazi-ke ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, eyabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe ukuze ngihlale phakathi kwabo; ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo.
They will know that I am the Lord their God, who led them out of Egypt, so that I could live with them. I am the Lord their God.
