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 the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, each take his censer, and put fire in them, and put incense on it, and bring strange fire near before YHWH, which He has not commanded them;

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

and fire goes out from before YHWH and consumes them, and they die before YHWH.

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

And Moses says to Aaron, “It [is] that which YHWH has spoken, saying, By those drawing near to Me I am sanctified, and in the face of all the people I am honored”; and Aaron is silent.

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

And Moses calls to Mishael and to Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, and says to them, “Come near, carry your brothers from the front of the holy place to the outside of the camp”;

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

and they come near, and carry them in their coats to the outside of the camp, as Moses has spoken.

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 says to Aaron and his sons, to Eleazar and to Ithamar, “You do not uncover your heads, and you do not tear your garments, that you do not die, and He is angry on all the congregation; as for your brothers, the whole house of Israel, they lament the burning which YHWH has kindled;

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

and you do not go out from the opening of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die, for the anointing oil of YHWH [is] on you”; and they do according to the word of Moses.

8 INkosi yasikhuluma kuAroni isithi:

And YHWH speaks to Aaron, saying,

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

“You do not drink wine and strong drink, you and your sons with you, in your going into the Tent of Meeting, and you do not die—a continuous statute throughout your generations,

10 lokwehlukanisa phakathi kokungcwele lokungangcwele, laphakathi kokungahlambulukanga lokuhlambulukileyo;

so as to make a separation between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the pure;

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

and to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which YHWH has spoken to them by the hand of 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 speaks to Aaron and his sons, to Eleazar and to Ithamar, who are left, “Take the present that is left from the fire-offerings of YHWH, and eat it unleavened near 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 you have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] your portion, and the portion of your sons, from the fire-offerings of YHWH; for so I have been 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 you eat the breast of the wave-offering and the leg of the raised-offering in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you; they have been given for your portion and the portion of your sons, out of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the sons 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 leg of the raised-offering, and breast of the wave-offering, besides fire-offerings of the fat, they bring in to wave [as] a wave-offering before YHWH, and it has been to you, and to your sons with you, by a continuous statute, as YHWH has commanded.”

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

And Moses has diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and behold, it is burned, and he is angry against Eleazar and against Ithamar, sons of Aaron, who are left, saying,

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

“Why have you not eaten the sin-offering in the holy place, for it [is] most holy—and He has given it to you to take away the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before YHWH?

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

Behold, its blood has not been brought into the holy place within; eating you eat it in the holy place, as I have 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 speaks to Moses, “Behold, today they have brought their sin-offering and their burnt-offering near before YHWH; and [things] like these meet me, yet I have eaten a sin-offering today; is it good in the eyes of YHWH?”

20 Esezwile lokho uMozisi kwaba kuhle emehlweni akhe.

And Moses listens, and it is good in his eyes.
