11 uzalihlabela eceleni kwelathi ngenyakatho, phambi kweNkosi; njalo amadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azafafaza igazi lalo elathini inhlangothi zonke.
Ngaachibayire parutivi rwearitari nechokumusoro pamberi paJehovha, vanakomana vaAroni vaprista vagosasa ropa kumativi ose earitari.
12 Uzalisika ngeziqa zalo, lenhloko yalo lamahwahwa alo; lompristi uzakuhlela phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni ophezu kwelathi.
Anofanira kucheka nyama muzvidimbu uye muprista achaironga pamwe chete nomusoro namafuta pamusoro pehuni dzinenge dzichipfuta paaritari.
13 Kodwa uzagezisa imibilini lemilenze ngamanzi; lompristi uzakunikela konke, akutshise elathini; kungumnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.

14 Uba-ke umnikelo wakhe eNkosini ungumnikelo wokutshiswa owezinyoni, uzanikela umnikelo wakhe uvela emajubeni loba amaphuphu enkwilimba.
“‘Kana chipiriso chake kuna Jehovha chiri chipiriso chinopiswa cheshiri, ngaape njiva kana hangaiwa ichiri diki.
15 Umpristi alisondeze elathini, atshuphune inhloko yalo, alitshise elathini, legazi lalo likhanyelwe eceleni kwelathi,
Muprista achaiisa paaritari agodambura musoro, oipisa paaritari; ropa rayo richaerera parutivi pearitari.
16 asuse isidlelo salo lensiba zalo, akulahle eceleni kwelathi ngempumalanga, endaweni yomlotha,
Ngaabvise chihururu neminhenga agozvikanda kumabvazuva kwearitari kunenge kune madota.
17 aliqhaqhe ngempiko zalo, angalehlukanisi; umpristi alitshise-ke elathini, phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni; kungumnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
