ULevi 23
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Imikhosi emisiweyo yeNkosi elizayimemezela ibe zinhlangano ezibiziweyo ezingcwele, le yimikhosi yami emisiweyo.
“Yogera n’abaana ba Isirayiri obagambe nti, Zino ze mbaga zange ze nnonze, nga ze mbaga za Mukama Katonda ezirondeddwa ze munaakubirangako enkuŋŋaana entukuvu.
3 Umsebenzi uzakwenziwa insuku eziyisithupha; kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa lulisabatha lokuphumula, inhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele; lingenzi lamsebenzi; lulisabatha eNkosini kuyo yonke imizi yenu.
“Mu nnaku omukaaga munaakolerangamu emirimu gyammwe, naye olunaku olw’omusanvu ye Ssabbiiti ey’okuwummula; lunaabeeranga olunaku olw’okukuŋŋaana okutukuvu. Temulukolerangako mulimu n’akatono yonna gye munaabeeranga, kubanga ye Ssabbiiti ya Mukama Katonda.
4 Le yimikhosi emisiweyo yeNkosi, inhlangano ezibiziweyo ezingcwele elizazimemezela ngesikhathi sazo esimisiweyo.
“Zino ze mbaga Mukama Katonda ze yeerondera okunaakubirwanga enkuŋŋaana entukuvu ze munaalangiriranga mu ntuuko zaazo:
5 Ngenyanga yokuqala ngolwetshumi lane lwenyanga kusihlwa kuliphasika leNkosi.
Embaga ya Mukama Katonda ey’Okuyitako eneetandikanga ng’obudde buwungeera ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye.
6 Langosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwaleyonyanga kulomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo eNkosini; dlanini isinkwa esingelamvubelo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ettaano olw’omwezi ogwo, Embaga ya Mukama Katonda ey’Emigaati Egitali Mizimbulukuse kw’eneetandikiranga; munaamalanga ennaku musanvu nga mulya emigaati egifumbiddwa nga temuli kizimbulukusa.
7 Ngosuku lokuqala lizakuba lenhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele; lingenzi lamsebenzi wezisebenzi.
Ku lunaku olusooka olw’embaga eyo ey’Okuyitako munaakubanga olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu, era temuukolerengako mirimu gyammwe egya bulijjo.
8 Kodwa lizanikela umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo insuku eziyisikhombisa. Ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuzakuba khona inhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele; lingenzi lamsebenzi wezisebenzi.
Munaamalanga ennaku musanvu nga buli lunaku muleeta ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’omuliro eri Mukama. Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu munaakubanga olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu, era temuukolerengako mirimu gyammwe egya bulijjo.”
9 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
10 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Lapho selifikile elizweni engilinika lona, livune isivuno salo, lethani isithungo sezithelo zokuqala zesivuno senu kumpristi,
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, Bwe mutuukanga mu nsi gye nzija okubawa ne mukungula ebibala byamu, muleetanga eri kabona ekinywa eky’ebibala byammwe eby’olubereberye;
11 njalo azunguze isithungo phambi kweNkosi ukuze lemukeleke. Umpristi uzasizunguza ngosuku olulandela isabatha.
naye anaawuubawuubanga ekinywa ekyo awali Mukama Katonda kiryoke kikkirizibwe ku lwammwe. Kabona anaakiwuubawuubanga ku lunaku oluddirira Ssabbiiti.
12 Ngosuku elizunguza ngalo isithungo, nikelani iwundlu elingelasici elilomnyaka owodwa, libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.
Ku lunaku olwo lwe munaawuubirawuubirangako ekinywa, munaawangayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda eky’omwana gw’endiga omulume, ogwakamala omwaka gumu ogw’obukulu era nga teguliiko kamogo.
13 Lomnikelo wawo wokudla uzakuba zingxenye ezimbili etshumini zempuphu ecolekileyo ixubene lamafutha, ube ngumnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, kube luqhatshi olumnandi; lomnikelo wawo wokunathwayo uzakuba ngowewayini, ingxenye yesine yehini.
N’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke ekigenderako kinaabanga kigero kya desimoolo bbiri eza efa, eky’obuwunga obulungi nga mutabuddwamu n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni, nga kye kiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’omuliro eri Mukama, ne muvaamu evvumbe eddungi erisanyusa Mukama n’ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa ekigenderako kinaabanga ekitundu kimu kya kuna ekya lita emu ey’envinnyo.
14 Njalo kaliyikudla isinkwa, lamabele akhanzingiweyo, lezikhwebu ezintsha, kuze kufike lona lolosuku, lize lilethe umnikelo kaNkulunkulu wenu. Kuyisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu, kuyo yonke imizi yenu.
Era temuulyenga ku mugaati n’akatono oba ku mmere ey’empeke ensiike oba eyaakakungulwa, okutuusa ku lunaku olwo lwennyini lwe munaaleeterangako ekiweebwayo kino eri Katonda wammwe. Lino linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira ery’emirembe gyonna egigenda okujja, mu bifo byonna gye munaabeeranga.
15 Njalo lizazibalela kusukela ngosuku olulandela isabatha, kusukela ngosuku elaletha ngalo isithungo somnikelo wokuzunguzwa; kuzakuba ngamasabatha ayisikhombisa apheleleyo,
“Okuva ku lunaku oluddirira Ssabbiiti, nga lwe lunaku kwe mwaleetera ekiweebwayo eky’ekinywa ekiwuubibwawuubibwa mubalanga ewiiki enzijuvu musanvu.
16 kuze kufike usuku olulandela isabatha lesikhombisa libale insuku ezingamatshumi amahlanu; khona lizanikela umnikelo omutsha wokudla eNkosini.
Munaabalanga ennaku amakumi ataano okutuuka ku Ssabbiiti ey’omusanvu, ne mulyoka muwaayo eri Mukama ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke empya eyaakakungulwa.
17 Lethani okuvela emizini yenu izinkwa ezimbili zokuzunguzwa; zizakuba zingxenye ezimbili etshumini zempuphu ecolekileyo; zizabhakwa lemvubelo; ziyizithelo zokuqala eNkosini.
Nga muva mu buli kitundu gye mubeera, munaaleetanga emigaati, ebiri ebiri nga gikoleddwa mu kigero ekya desimoolo bbiri eza efa ez’obuwunga obulungi, nga bufumbiddwa n’ekizimbulukusa; nga kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda ekiwuubibwawuubibwa eky’ebibala ebibereberye.
18 Njalo lizanikela kanye lesinkwa amawundlu ayisikhombisa angelasici alomnyaka owodwa, lejongosi elilodwa ithole lenkomo, lenqama ezimbili; zizakuba ngumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini, kanye lomnikelo wazo wokudla leminikelo yazo yokunathwayo, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, kube luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
Era awamu n’emigaati egyo munaaleeterangako abaana b’endiga musanvu ab’omwaka gumu abataliiko kamogo; munaaleetanga n’ente eya seddume ento emu, n’endiga ennume ento bbiri. Binaabeeranga ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eri Mukama, awamu n’ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke n’ekiweebwayo eky’ebyokunywa; nga kye kiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’omuliro, ne muvaamu evvumbe erisanyusa Mukama.
19 Lizalungisa njalo izinyane lembuzi elilodwa libe ngumnikelo wesono, lamawundlu amabili alomnyaka owodwa abe ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula.
Era munaawangayo embuzi emu ennume nga kye kiweebwayo olw’ekibi, era n’endiga ento ennume ez’omwaka ogumu bbiri nga kye kiweebwayo olw’emirembe.
20 Umpristi uzazizunguza-ke kanye lesinkwa sezithelo zokuqala zibe ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi, kanye lamawundlu amabili; zizakuba ngcwele eNkosini, zibe ngezompristi.
Kabona anaawubawuubanga ebiweebwayo ebyo awamu n’emigaati egikoleddwa mu bibala ebibereberye n’endiga zombi ento, nga kye kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda ekiwuubibwawuubibwa. Kinaabanga kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda ekitukuvu, era kabona y’anaakitwalanga.
21 Lizamemezela ngalona lolosuku; kuzakuba yinhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele kini, lingenzi lamsebenzi wezisebenzi. Kuyisimiso esaphakade kuyo yonke imizi yenu ezizukulwaneni zenu.
Ku lunaku olwo onoolangiriranga olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu; era temujjanga kukolerako mirimu gyammwe egya bulijjo. Eryo linaabeeranga etteeka ery’emirembe gyonna mu mmwe buli yonna gye munaabeeranga.
22 Lalapho livuna isivuno selizwe lakini, ekuvuneni kwakho ungaqedi emngceleni wensimu yakho; futhi ungabuthi okuseleyo kwesivuno sakho; ukutshiyele umyanga lowemzini. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
“Bwe munaakungulanga emmere mu ttaka lyammwe temugimalirangamu ddala okutuuka ku mbibiro z’ennimiro yammwe, wadde okukuŋŋaanyanga eneebanga ekunkumuse wansi nga mumaze okukungula. Eyo mugirekeranga abaavu ne bannamawanga. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
23 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
24 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Ngenyanga yesikhombisa ngolokuqala lwenyanga kuzakuba kini yikuphumula, isikhumbuzo sokutshaywa kwezimpondo, inhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti olunaku olw’olubereberye mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu lunaabanga lwa kuwummula, munaakwatirangako olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu olunaalangirirwanga n’okufuuwa amakondeere ag’omwanguka.
25 Lingenzi lamsebenzi wezisebenzi; kodwa nikelani umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
Temukolerangako mirimu gyonna egya bulijjo, naye munaawangayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’omuliro eri Mukama Katonda.”
26 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
27 Yebo, ngolwetshumi lwalinyanga yesikhombisa kuzakuba lusuku lwenhlawulo yokuthula; lizakuba lenhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele; lizathobisa imiphefumulo yenu, linikele umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
“Olunaku olw’ekkumi olw’omwezi guno ogw’omusanvu lwe lunaabanga Olunaku olw’Okutangiririrwa. Munaakubanga olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu, muneefiirizanga ne mwerumya, era munaawangayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’omuliro eri Mukama Katonda.
28 Langalona lolosuku lingenzi lamsebenzi, ngoba kulusuku lwenhlawulo yokuthula, ukulenzela lina inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
Olunaku olwo temulukolerangako mulimu na gumu, kubanga lwe Lunaku olw’Okutangiririrwa, lwe munaatangiririrwanga awali Mukama Katonda wammwe.
29 Ngoba loba yiwuphi umphefumulo ongazithobiyo ngalona lolosuku uzaqunywa usuke ebantwini bakibo.
Omuntu yenna anaagaananga okwefiiriza ku lunaku olwo kinaamugwaniranga okuwaŋŋangusibwa n’aggyibwa mu banne.
30 Laloba yiwuphi umphefumulo owenza loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalona lolosuku ngizawubhubhisa lowomphefumulo usuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
Era buli muntu anaakolanga omulimu ku lunaku olwo ndimuggya mu banne ne mmuzikiriza.
31 Lingenzi lamsebenzi. Kuyisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu kuyo yonke imizi yenu.
Temulukolerangako mulimu n’akatono. Eryo linaabeeranga etteeka ery’enkalakkalira, ery’emirembe gyonna egigenda okujja mu bifo byonna gye munaabeeranga.
32 Lisabatha lokuphumula kini; lizathobisa imiphefumulo yenu; ngolwesificamunwemunye lwenyanga, ntambama, kusukela kusihlwa kuze kube kusihlwa, lizagcina isabatha lenu.
Lunaabeeranga lwa Ssabbiiti na kuwummulirako gye muli, era muneefiirizanga. Munaakuumanga Ssabbiiti yammwe okuva ku lunaku olw’omwenda olw’omwezi akawungeezi okutuusa ku kawungeezi akaddirira.”
33 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
34 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwale inyanga yesikhombisa kuzakuba lomkhosi wamadumba insuku eziyisikhombisa eNkosini.
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ettaano Embaga ya Mukama ey’Ensiisira kw’eneetandikiranga, era eneemalanga ennaku musanvu.
35 Ngosuku lokuqala kuzakuba lenhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele; lingenzi lamsebenzi wezisebenzi.
Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye munaakubirangako olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu; temuulukolerengako mirimu egya bulijjo.
36 Insuku eziyisikhombisa lizanikela umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo. Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili kuzakuba lenhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele kini, linikele umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo. Kungumhlangano onzulu, lingenzi lamsebenzi wezisebenzi.
Munaaleetanga ebiweebwayo eri Mukama ebyokye mu muliro okumalira ddala ennaku musanvu, ne ku lunaku olw’omunaana munaakubanga olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu ne muwaayo eri Mukama Katonda ekiweebwayo ekyokye n’omuliro. Olwo lwe lukuŋŋaana olukulu oluggalawo, temulukolerangako mirimu egya bulijjo.
37 Le yimikhosi emisiweyo yeNkosi elizayimemezela ibe zinhlangano ezibiziweyo ezingcwele, ukunikela umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, umnikelo wokutshiswa, lomnikelo wokudla, umhlatshelo, leminikelo yokunathwayo, kube yilokho lalokho ngosuku lwakho,
“Ezo ze mbaga Mukama ze yalagira, ze munaalangiriranga nti mbaga ntukuvu okunaaleeterwanga ebiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda ebyokeddwa mu muliro, ebiweebwayo ebyokye, ebiweebwayo eby’empeke, ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo ebinywebwa ebineetaagibwanga buli lunaku.
38 ngaphandle kwamasabatha eNkosi, langaphandle kwezipho zenu, langaphandle kwezithembiso zenu zonke, langaphandle kweminikelo yenu yonke yesihle, elayinikela eNkosini.
Ebiweebwayo bino byeyongera ku biri eby’oku Ssabbiiti za Mukama Katonda, era ne byeyongera ku birabo byammwe ne ku ebyo byonna bye munaabanga mweyamye, ne ku biweebwayo ebirala byonna bye munaabanga muleetedde Mukama Katonda nga mweyagalidde.
39 Kodwa ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga yesikhombisa, lapho selibuthile isivuno selizwe, gcinani umkhosi weNkosi insuku eziyisikhombisa. Ngosuku lokuqala kuzakuba lokuphumula langosuku lwesificaminwembili kuzakuba lokuphumula.
“Kale nno okutandikira ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ettaano olw’omwezi ogw’omusanvu, nga mumaze okukungula n’okuyingiza ebibala ebivudde mu ttaka lyammwe, munaakoleranga Mukama Katonda ekijaguzo okumala ennaku musanvu; olunaku olw’olubereberye lunaabanga lwa kuwummula era n’olunaku olw’omunaana nalwo nga lwa kuwummula.
40 Langosuku lokuqala zithatheleni izithelo zezihlahla ezinhle, izingatsha zezihlahla zelala, lezingatsha zezihlahla ezilamahlamvu aminyeneyo, leminyezane yemifula, lithabe phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu insuku eziyisikhombisa.
Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye munaanoganga ku miti ebibala ebisingira ddala obulungi ne muddira n’amatabi g’enkindu, n’amatabi ag’emiti agaziyidde n’ebikoola ebigimu, n’emiti egy’oku migga, ne mulyoka musanyukira awali Mukama Katonda wammwe okumala ennaku musanvu.
41 Lizawugcina ube ngumkhosi eNkosini insuku eziyisikhombisa ngomnyaka. Kuyisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu; liwugubhe ngenyanga yesikhombisa.
Mukolanga bwe mutyo ng’ekyo kye kijaguzo eri Mukama Katonda, okumala ennaku musanvu buli mwaka. Lino ly’etteeka ery’enkalakkalira erinaakwatibwanga n’ab’omu mirembe egigenda okujja; mujaguzenga mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu.
42 Lizahlala emadumbeni insuku eziyisikhombisa; bonke abazalwa koIsrayeli bazahlala emadumbeni,
Munaasulanga mu busiisira okumala ennaku musanvu. Abo bonna abazaaliranwa ab’omu Isirayiri banaasulanga mu busiisira,
43 ukuze izizukulwana zenu zazi ukuthi ngabahlalisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli emadumbeni ekubakhupheni kwami elizweni leGibhithe. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
bwe batyo ab’omu zzadde lyammwe balyoke bamanye nga bwe nasuzanga abaana ba Isirayiri mu busiisira bwe nnali nga mbaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri. Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe.”
44 Ngokunjalo uMozisi wabatshela abantwana bakoIsrayeli imikhosi emisiweyo yeNkosi.
Bw’atyo Musa n’alangirira mu baana ba Isirayiri embaga za Mukama ennonde.
