ULevi 2
1 Lalapho umuntu enikela eNkosini umnikelo wokudla, umnikelo wakhe uzakuba ngowempuphu ecolekileyo; abesethela amafutha phezu kwawo, abeke inhlaka kuwo,
“‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.
2 awulethe kumadodana kaAroni, abapristi, acuphe kuwo isandla sakhe esigcweleyo impuphu yawo ecolekileyo lokwamafutha awo, kanye lenhlaka yawo yonke; lompristi atshise isikhumbuzo sawo elathini, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests. He shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense, and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
3 Lokuseleyo komnikelo wokudla kuzakuba ngokukaAroni lokwamadodana akhe; kuyingcwelengcwele eminikelweni yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo.
That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy part of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
4 Nxa uletha-ke umnikelo womnikelo wokudla ophekwe eziko, kawube ngowamaqebelengwana angelamvubelo empuphu ecolekileyo ahlanganiswe lamafutha, loba izinkwana eziyizipatalala ezingelamvubelo ezinindwe ngamafutha.
“‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5 Uba-ke umnikelo wakho ungumnikelo wokudla ophekwe ngomganu oyincence, uzakuba ngowempuphu ecolekileyo engelamvubelo, ixubene lamafutha.
If your offering is a meal offering made on a griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil.
6 Uwuhlephune ube yizihlephu, uthele amafutha kuzo; kungumnikelo wokudla.
You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering.
7 Uba-ke umnikelo wakho ungumnikelo wokudla ophekwe ngembiza, kuzakwenziwa ngempuphu ecolekileyo kanye lamafutha.
If your offering is a meal offering of the pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 Njalo uzaletha umnikelo wokudla owenziwe ngalezizinto eNkosini; nxa ulethwa kumpristi, uzawuletha elathini.
You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to the LORD. It shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar.
9 Umpristi uzathatha emnikelweni wokudla isikhumbuzo sawo, asitshise elathini; singumnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
The priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
10 Lokuseleyo komnikelo wokudla kuzakuba ngokukaAroni lokwamadodana akhe; kuyingcwelengcwele eminikelweni yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo.
That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy part of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
11 Kakulamnikelo wokudla elizawuletha eNkosini ozakwenziwa ngemvubelo, ngoba kawuyikutshisa langayiphi imvubelo loba ngaluphi uluju umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
“‘No meal offering which you shall offer to the LORD shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
12 Umnikelo wezithelo zokuqala lizawunikela eNkosini, kodwa kawuyikutshiswa elathini kube luqhatshi olumnandi.
As an offering of first fruits you shall offer them to the LORD, but they shall not rise up as a pleasant aroma on the altar.
13 Lawo wonke umnikelo womnikelo wakho wokudla uzawutshwaya ngetshwayi; njalo ungavumeli ukuthi itshwayi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wakho lisweleke emnikelweni wakho wokudla; kanye leminikelo yakho yonke uzanikela itshwayi.
Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt. You shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.
14 Uba-ke unikela umnikelo wokudla wezithelo zokuqala eNkosini, uzanikela kube ngumnikelo wokudla ezithelweni zakho zokuqala amabele amatsha ayizikhwebu ezosiweyo, amabele achotshoziweyo ezikhwebu ezintsha;
“‘If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits fresh heads of grain parched with fire and crushed.
15 uthele amafutha kuwo, ubeke inhlaka phezu kwawo; kungumnikelo wokudla.
You shall put oil on it and lay frankincense on it. It is a meal offering.
16 Umpristi uzatshisa-ke isikhumbuzo sawo, okwamabele achotshoziweyo awo lokwamafutha awo, layo yonke inhlaka yawo; kungumnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
The priest shall burn as its memorial part of its crushed grain and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense. It is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
