ULevi 4

1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Khuluma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Uba umphefumulo usona ngokungazi umelana loba yiyiphi imilayo yeNkosi, engafanele ukwenziwa, wenze okumelene lomunye wayo,

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

3 uba umpristi ogcotshiweyo esona, kube licala ebantwini, uzanikela ngesono sakhe asonileyo ijongosi ithole lenkomo elingelasici, eNkosini, libe ngumnikelo wesono.

If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering.

4 Uzaletha ijongosi emnyango wethente lenhlangano phambi kweNkosi, abeke isandla sakhe enhlokweni yejongosi, alihlabe ijongosi phambi kweNkosi.

And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock’s head, and kill the bullock before the Lord.

5 Njalo umpristi ogcotshiweyo uzathatha okwegazi lejongosi, alilethe ethenteni lenhlangano.

And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:

6 Umpristi uzagxamuza-ke umunwe wakhe egazini, afafaze okwegazi kasikhombisa phambi kweNkosi, phambi kweveyili lendlu engcwele.

And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary.

7 Njalo umpristi uzafaka okwegazi empondweni zelathi lempepha elephunga elimnandi phambi kweNkosi, elisethenteni lenhlangano, athululele lonke igazi lejongosi kungaphansi yelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, elisemnyango wethente lenhlangano.

And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

8 Lawo wonke amahwahwa ejongosi lomnikelo wesono uzawasusa kulo, idanga, lawo wonke amahwahwa asemibilini,

And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

9 lezinso zombili lamahwahwa akuzo asezinkalweni, lamahwahwa angaphezu kwesibindi uzawasusa lezinso,

And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,

10 njengalokhu kususwa kiyo inkabi yomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula. Umpristi uzakutshisa elathini lomnikelo wokutshiswa.

As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.

11 Kodwa isikhumba sejongosi, lenyama yalo yonke, lenhloko yalo, lemilenze yalo, lemibilini yalo, lomswane walo,

And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,

12 yebo, ijongosi lonke uzalikhuphela ngaphandle kwenkamba, alise endaweni ehlambulukileyo, lapho okuthululelwa khona umlotha, alitshise phezu kwenkuni ngomlilo. Lizatshiselwa lapho okuthululelwa khona umlotha.

Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

13 Uba-ke inhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli isona ngokungazi, lendaba ifihlwe emehlweni ebandla, benze ulutho olumelene loba yiwuphi wemilayo yeNkosi, okungafanele ukwenziwa, njalo babe lecala,

And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;

14 lapho isono abasone bemelene lawo sesisaziwa, ibandla lizanikela ijongosi ithole lenkomo, libe ngumnikelo wesono, lililethe phambi kwethente lenhlangano.

When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.

15 Njalo abadala benhlangano bazabeka izandla zabo enhlokweni yejongosi phambi kweNkosi, lejongosi lizahlatshwa phambi kweNkosi.

And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the Lord: and the bullock shall be killed before the Lord.

16 Umpristi ogcotshiweyo uzaletha-ke okwegazi lejongosi ethenteni lenhlangano,

And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock’s blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:

17 lompristi uzagxamuza umunwe wakhe egazini, afafaze kasikhombisa phambi kweNkosi, phambi kweveyili,

And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, even before the vail.

18 afake okwegazi empondweni zelathi eliphambi kweNkosi, elisethenteni lenhlangano, athululele lonke igazi kungaphansi yelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, elisemnyango wethente lenhlangano.

And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

19 Uzathatha-ke kilo wonke amahwahwa alo, awatshise elathini.

And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.

20 Enze kulo ijongosi, njengakwenze kulo ijongosi lomnikelo wesono, enze njalo kulo. Umpristi abenzele inhlawulo yokuthula, njalo bazathethelelwa.

And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.

21 Njalo uzalikhuphela ijongosi ngaphandle kwenkamba, alitshise njengalokho walitshisa ijongosi lokuqala; kungumnikelo wesono webandla.

And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.

22 Nxa induna isona, yenza ngokungazi okumelene loba yiwuphi wemilayo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wayo, okungafanele ukwenziwa, njalo ibe lecala,

When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;

23 kumbe isono sayo esone imelene lawo sisaziswa kuyo, izaletha umnikelo wayo, izinyane lembuzi, iduna elingelasici,

Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

24 ibeke isandla sayo enhlokweni yembuzi, iyihlabe endaweni lapho okuhlatshelwa khona umnikelo wokutshiswa phambi kweNkosi; kungumnikelo wesono.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord: it is a sin offering.

25 Umpristi abesethatha okwegazi lomnikelo wesono ngomunwe wakhe, alifake empondweni zelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, athululele igazi lawo kungaphansi yelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

26 Lawo wonke amahwahwa awo uzawatshisa elathini njengamahwahwa omhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula. Ngalokho umpristi uzayenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ngesono sayo, njalo ithethelelwe.

And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

27 Uba-ke loba ngubani wabantu belizwe esona ngokungazi, ngoba esenza okumelene loba yiwuphi wemilayo yeNkosi, okungafanele ukwenziwa, aze abe lecala,

And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

28 kumbe isono sakhe asonileyo sisaziswa kuye, uzaletha umnikelo wakhe, izinyane lembuzi, isibhuzikazi esingelasici, ngesono sakhe asonileyo.

Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.

29 Uzabeka-ke isandla sakhe enhlokweni yomnikelo wesono, awuhlabe umnikelo wesono endaweni yomnikelo wokutshiswa.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

30 Njalo umpristi uzathatha okwegazi lawo ngomunwe wakhe, alifake empondweni zelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, athululele lonke igazi lawo kungaphansi yelathi.

And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

31 Lawo wonke amahwahwa awo uzawasusa, njengalokhu amahwahwa esuswa kuwo umhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, lompristi awatshise elathini abe liphunga elimnandi eNkosini. Ngalokho umpristi uzamenzela inhlawulo yokuthula, abesethethelelwa.

And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the Lord; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

32 Kodwa uba eletha iwundlu lomnikelo wakhe libe ngumnikelo wesono, uzaletha elisikazi elingelasici,

And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

33 abeke isandla sakhe enhlokweni yomnikelo wesono, awuhlabe ube ngumnikelo wesono, endaweni lapho okuhlatshelwa khona umnikelo wokutshiswa.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

34 Njalo umpristi uzathatha okwegazi lomnikelo wesono ngomunwe wakhe, alifake empondweni zelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, athululele lonke igazi lawo kungaphansi yelathi.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:

35 Lawo wonke amahwahwa awo uzawasusa njengalokhu amahwahwa ewundlu esuswa kuwo umhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, lompristi awatshise elathini phezu kweminikelo yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo. Ngalokho umpristi uzamenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ngesono sakhe asonileyo, njalo uzathethelelwa.

And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
