ULevi 3

1 Uba-ke umnikelo wakhe ungumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, nxa enikela okwenkomo, ingabe iduna kumbe insikazi, uzawunikela ungelasici phambi kweNkosi.

And if his offering is given for a peace-offering; if he gives of the herd, male or female, let him give it without any mark on it, before the Lord.

2 Uzabeka isandla sakhe enhlokweni yomnikelo wakhe, awuhlabe emnyango wethente lenhlangano; amadodana kaAroni angabapristi azafafaza-ke igazi phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.

And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death at the door of the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.

3 Uzanikela okuvela kuwo umhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, idanga, lamahwahwa wonke asemibilini,

And he is to give of the peace-offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

4 lezinso zombili lamahwahwa akuzo asezinkalweni, lamahwahwa angaphezu kwesibindi uzawasusa lezinso.

And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away;

5 Njalo amadodana kaAroni azawatshisa elathini phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa ophezu kwenkuni eziphezu komlilo; kungumnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.

That it may be burned by Aaron's sons on the altar, on the burned offering which is on the wood on the fire: it is an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

6 Uba-ke umnikelo wakhe ongumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula eNkosini ungowomhlambi, iduna kumbe insikazi, uzawunikela ungelasici.

And if what he gives for a peace-offering to the Lord is of the flock, let him give a male or female, without any mark on it.

7 Uba enikela iwundlu, libe ngumnikelo wakhe, uzalinikela phambi kweNkosi,

If his offering is a lamb, then let it be placed before the Lord:

8 abeke isandla sakhe enhlokweni yomnikelo wakhe, awuhlabe phambi kwethente lenhlangano; amadodana kaAroni azafafaza-ke igazi lawo phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.

And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

9 Uzanikela okuvela kuwo umhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, amahwahwa awo, umsila wonke ononileyo ewuquma eduze lomgogodla, ledanga, lamahwahwa wonke asemibilini,

And of the peace-offering, let him give an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat of it, all the fat tail, he is to take away near the backbone; and the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

10 lezinso zombili lamahwahwa akuzo asezinkalweni, lamahwahwa angaphezu kwesibindi uzawasusa lezinso.

And the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away;

11 Umpristi uzakutshisa-ke elathini, kuyikudla komnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.

That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire to the Lord.

12 Uba-ke umnikelo wakhe uyimbuzi, uzawunikela phambi kweNkosi,

And if his offering is a goat, then let it be placed before the Lord,

13 abeke isandla sakhe enhlokweni yayo, ayihlabe phambi kwethente lenhlangano; amadodana kaAroni azafafaza-ke igazi layo phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.

And let him put his hand on the head of it and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

14 Uzanikela okuvela kiyo umnikelo wakhe, umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, idanga, lamahwahwa wonke asemibilini,

And of it let him make his offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord; the fat covering the inside parts and all the fat on the inside parts,

15 lezinso zombili lamahwahwa akuzo asezinkalweni, lamahwahwa angaphezu kwesibindi uzawasusa lezinso.

And the two kidneys, with the fat on them, which is by the top part of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, let him take away;

16 Njalo umpristi uzakutshisa elathini, kuyikudla komnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, kube luqhatshi olumnandi. Wonke amahwahwa ngaweNkosi.

That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet smell: all the fat is the Lord's.

17 Yisimiso saphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu, emizini yenu yonke, sokuthi lingadli ngitsho amahwahwa lagazi.

Let it be an order for ever, through all your generations, in all your houses, that you are not to take fat or blood for food.
