ULevi 10

1 Amadodana kaAroni, oNadabi loAbihu, asethatha ngulowo lalowo umganu wakhe wokutshisela impepha, afaka umlilo kiyo, abeka phezu kwawo impepha, anikela umlilo ongejwayelekanga phambi kweNkosi, eyayingawalayanga wona.

And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.

2 Kwasekuphuma umlilo ovela phambi kweNkosi, wawaqothula, asefela phambi kweNkosi.

And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

3 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Yilokhu iNkosi eyakukhulumayo isithi: Kulabo abasondela kimi ngizangcweliswa, futhi phambi kwabantu bonke ngizadunyiswa. UAroni wasethula.

Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Jehovah spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

4 UMozisi wasebiza uMishayeli loElizafani, amadodana kaUziyeli uyise omncane kaAroni, wathi kibo: Sondelani, libasuse abafowenu phambi kwendlu engcwele, kuze kube ngaphandle kwenkamba.

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

5 Basondela-ke, babathwala bembethe izigqoko zabo kwaze kwaba ngaphandle kwenkamba, njengokutsho kukaMozisi.

So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.

6 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni lakuEleyazare lakuIthamari, amadodana akhe: Lingembuli amakhanda enu, lingadabuli izembatho zenu, hlezi life, lolaka lwehlele phezu kwenhlangano yonke. Kodwa akuthi abafowenu, indlu yonke kaIsrayeli, balilele ukutshisa iNkosi ekuphembileyo.

And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

7 Lingaphumi ngomnyango wethente lenhlangano hlezi life, ngoba amafutha okugcoba eNkosi aphezu kwenu. Benza-ke njengelizwi likaMozisi.

And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

8 INkosi yasikhuluma kuAroni isithi:

And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, saying,

9 Unganathi iwayini lokunathwayo okulamandla, wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe, nxa lingena ethenteni lenhlangano, ukuze lingafi; kuyisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu;

Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

10 lokwehlukanisa phakathi kokungcwele lokungangcwele, laphakathi kokungahlambulukanga lokuhlambulukileyo;

and that ye may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

11 lokufundisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli zonke izimiso iNkosi ezikhulume kubo ngesandla sikaMozisi.

and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by Moses.

12 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni lakuEleyazare lakuIthamari, amadodana akhe ayesele: Thathani umnikelo wokudla oseleyo eminikelweni yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo, liwudle ungelamvubelo eceleni kwelathi, ngoba uyingcwelengcwele;

And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal-offering that remaineth of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy;

13 njalo liwudlele endaweni engcwele, ngoba uyimfanelo yakho lemfanelo yamadodana akho, esivela eminikelweni yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo; ngoba ngilaywe njalo.

and ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy portion, and thy sons’ portion, of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: for so I am commanded.

14 Kodwa isifuba sokuzunguzwa lomlenze wokuphakanyiswa lizakudlela endaweni ehlambulukileyo, wena lamadodana akho, lamadodakazi akho kanye lawe; ngoba kuyisabelo sakho lesabelo samadodana akho; kunikwa kuvela emihlatshelweni yeminikelo yokuthula yabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

And the wave-breast and the heave-thigh shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as thy portion, and thy sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

15 Umlenze wokuphakanyiswa lesifuba sokuzunguzwa bazakuletha leminikelo yamahwahwa eyenziwe ngomlilo, ukukuzunguza kube ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi; kuzakuba ngokwakho lokwamadodana akho kanye lawe, kube yisimiso saphakade, njengokulaya kweNkosi.

The heave-thigh and the wave-breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, as a portion for ever; as Jehovah hath commanded.

16 UMozisi wadingisisa impongo yomnikelo wesono, khangela-ke yayitshisiwe. Ngakho wathukuthelela uEleyazare loIthamari, amadodana kaAroni aseleyo, esithi:

And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,

17 Kalidlanga ngani umnikelo wesono endaweni engcwele, ngoba uyingcwelengcwele, futhi ilinikile wona lina ukuze lithwale ububi benhlangano, libenzele inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi?

Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Jehovah?

18 Khangelani, igazi lawo kalingeniswanga phakathi endaweni engcwele. Ngabe isibili liyidlile endaweni engcwele njengokulaya kwami.

Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

19 UAroni wasesithi kuMozisi: Khangela, lamuhla sebenikele umnikelo wabo wesono lomnikelo wabo wokutshiswa phambi kweNkosi, kanti izinto ezinje zingehlele! Uba bengidlile umnikelo wesono lamuhla, bekuzakuba kuhle emehlweni eNkosi yini?

And Aaron spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and there have befallen me such things as these: and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of Jehovah?

20 Esezwile lokho uMozisi kwaba kuhle emehlweni akhe.

And when Moses heard [that], it was well-pleasing in his sight.
