ULevi 6

1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—

2 Uba umphefumulo usona, uphambeke isiphambeko eNkosini ukhohlise umakhelwane wawo mayelana lalokho okunikelwa kuwo ukuthi ukulondoloze, loba mayelana lesibambiso sesandla, loba ngokuphangiweyo, loba umcindezele umakhelwane wawo,

When any person, shall sin, and shall commit a trespass against Yahweh, —and shall withhold something of the truth from his neighbour in respect of a deposit, or a pledge or anything plundered, or shall use extortion with his neighbour;

3 kumbe uthola lokho okwakulahlekile, uqambe amanga ngakho, ufunge amanga, loba kukuphi kwazo zonke lezo izinto umuntu azenzayo, one ngakho,

or shall find something lost and shall withhold something of the truth therein, and shall swear to a falsehood, —as regardeth a single thing of all that a son of earth may do, to commit sin thereby;

4 kuzakuthi-ke ngoba onile elecala, uzabuyisela impango ayiphangileyo, loba lokho owakuzuza ngokucindezela, loba lokho okwanikelwa kuye ukuthi akulondoloze, loba lokho okwakulahlekile akutholileyo,

and so it shall come about that he shall commit sin and then become aware of his guilt, then shall he return the plunder which he had plundered, or the extortion which he had extorted, or the deposit that was deposited with him, —or the lost thing which he hath found:

5 kumbe kukho konke afunge amanga ngakho; uzakubuyisa ngesiqokoqela sakho, engezelele kukho ingxenye yesihlanu yakho, amnike lowo engeyakhe ngosuku lomnikelo wakhe wecala.

or in anything as to which he hath been swearing to a falsehood, then shall he make it good in the principal thereof, and the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto, —to whomsoever it belongeth, to him, shall he give it in the day he becometh aware of his guilt;

6 Njalo uzaletha umnikelo wakhe wecala eNkosini, inqama engelasici emhlanjini, elesilinganiso sakho sentengo, kube ngumnikelo wecala, ayise kumpristi,

but, his guilt-bearer, itself, shall he bring in unto Yahweh, —a ram without defect out of the flock by thine estimate as a guilt-bearer, unto the priest.

7 njalo umpristi uzamenzela inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi, njalo uzathethelelwa, loba kukuphi kwakho konke akwenzileyo alecala ngakho.

So shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him before Yahweh, and it shall be forgiven him, —on account of any one thing, of all which one might do, so as to become guilty therein.

8 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

9 Laya uAroni lamadodana akhe uthi: Lo ngumlayo womnikelo wokutshiswa. Kungumnikelo wokutshiswa ngenxa yokutshisa phezu kwelathi ubusuku bonke kuze kuse, lomlilo welathi uzabhebha kulo.

Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the ascending-sacrifice, —the same, is the ascending-sacrifice, which is upon the hearth, upon the altar, all the night until the morning, —and the fire of the altar, shall be kept burning therein.

10 Umpristi-ke uzagqoka isembatho sakhe selembu elicolekileyo, lokabhudula wakhe wangaphansi welembu elicolekileyo uzamfaka emzimbeni wakhe, athathe umlotha umlilo usuqede umnikelo wokutshiswa elathini, awubeke eceleni kwelathi.

So then the priest shall put on his upper garment of linen, and, breeches of linen, shall he put on over his flesh, then shall he take up the fat-ashes, whereto the fire consumeth the ascending-sacrifice on the altar, —and shall put them beside the altar.

11 Abesekhulula izembatho zakhe, embathe ezinye izembatho, akhuphele umlotha ngaphandle kwenkamba endaweni ehlambulukileyo.

Then shall he put off his garments, and put on other garments, —and shall carry forth the fat-ashes unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place,

12 Lomlilo ophezu kwelathi uzabhebha kulo, ungacitshwa; njalo umpristi uzabasa inkuni phezu kwalo ukusa ngokusa, abeke kuhle umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwalo, atshise kulo amahwahwa eminikelo yokuthula.

And, the fire on the altar, shall be kept burning therein, it shall not be suffered to go out, but the priest shall kindle up thereon pieces of wood, morning by morning, —and shall set in order thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and shall make a perfume thereon with the fat-pieces of the peace-offerings:

13 Umlilo uzabhebha njalonjalo elathini, ungacitshi.

fire, shall continually be kept burning on the altar, it shall not be suffered to go out.

14 Lalo ngumlayo womnikelo wokudla. Amadodana kaAroni azawunikela phambi kweNkosi, phambi kwelathi.

And, this, is the law of the meal-offering, —the sons of Aaron shall bring it near before Yahweh, unto the front of the altar.

15 Njalo uzacupha okwayo isandla sakhe esigcweleyo, emputshini ecolekileyo yomnikelo wokudla, lemafutheni awo, lenhlaka yonke ephezu komnikelo wokudla, akutshise elathini, uqhatshi olumnandi, isikhumbuzo sawo, eNkosini.

Then shall one lift up therefrom a handful of the fine meal of the meal-offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal-offering, —and shall make a perfume at the altar, an altar-flame of a satisfying odour, shall the memorial thereof be, unto Yahweh.

16 Lokuseleyo kuwo uAroni lamadodana akhe bazakudla, kuzadliwa kungelamvubelo endaweni engcwele, lokhu bazakudla egumeni lethente lenhlangano.

And the remainder thereof, shall Aaron and his sons eat, —as unleavened cakes, shall it be eaten, in a holy place, within the court of the tent of meeting, shall they eat it.

17 Kakuyikubhakwa ngemvubelo. Kuyisabelo sabo engisinike kuminikelo yami eyenziwe ngomlilo; kuyingcwelengcwele, njengomnikelo wesono lanjengomnikelo wecala.

It shall not be baked into anything leavened, as their portion, have I given it, from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, —most holy, it is, like the sin-bearer, and like the guilt-bearer,

18 Bonke abesilisa ebantwaneni bakaAroni bazakudla. Kuyisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu, esivela eminikelweni yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo; wonke okuthintayo uzakuba ngcwele.

Any male among the sons of Aaron may eat it, an age-abiding statute to your generations from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, —every one that toucheth them shall be hallowed.

19 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—

20 Lo ngumnikelo kaAroni lamadodana akhe abazawunikela eNkosini ngosuku lokugcotshwa kwakhe; okwetshumi kwe-efa lempuphu ecolekileyo kube ngumnikelo wokudla njalonjalo, ingxenye yayo ekuseni lengxenye yayo kusihlwa.

This, is the oblation of Aaron and his sons, which they shall bring near unto Yahweh in the day when he is anointed, The tenth of an ephah of fine meal, as a continual meal-offering, —half thereof in the morning, and half thereof in the evening;

21 Uzakwenzelwa emganwini oyincence ngamafutha. Uzawuletha uxutshanisiwe, unikele ngencezu ezibhakiweyo zomnikelo wokudla, zibe luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.

on a pan, with oil, shall it be made when well mingled, shalt thou bring it in, —in baked portions, as a meal-offering in pieces, shalt thou bring it near as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.

22 Lompristi wamadodana akhe, ogcotshiweyo esikhundleni sakhe, uzakwenza. Kuyisimiso saphakade eNkosini. Uzatshiswa ngokupheleleyo.

And the priest that is anointed in his stead from among his sons, shall prepare it, —[it is] an age-abiding statute, that unto Yahweh, shall a perfume, of the entire gift, be made:

23 Wonke-ke umnikelo wokudla wompristi uzatshiswa ngokupheleleyo, ungadliwa.

yea, every meal-offering of a priest, shall be, entire—it shall not be eaten.

24 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—

25 Tshono kuAroni lakumadodana akhe uthi: Lo ngumlayo womnikelo wesono. Endaweni lapho okuhlatshelwa khona umnikelo wokutshiswa umnikelo wesono uzahlatshwa khona phambi kweNkosi; uyingcwelengcwele.

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, This, is the law of the sin-bearer. In the place where the ascending-sacrifice is slain, shall the sin-bearer be slain, before Yahweh, most holy, it is.

26 Umpristi owunikelela isono uzawudla; uzadlelwa endaweni engcwele, egumeni lethente lenhlangano.

The priest who maketh it a sin-bearer, shall eat it, —in a holy place, shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.

27 Konke okuthinta inyama yawo kuzakuba ngcwele; lofafaza okwegazi lawo esigqokweni, lokhu afafaze kikho wena uzakugezisa endaweni engcwele.

Every one who toucheth the flesh thereof, shall be hallowed; and when one sprinkleth some of the blood thereof upon a garment, that whereon it was sprinkled, shalt thou wash in a holy place.

28 Njalo imbiza yebumba okuphekelwe kuyo izaphahlazwa; kodwa uba kuphekelwe embizeni yethusi, kayiphalwe ihlanjululwe ngamanzi.

But, the earthen vessel wherein it is boiled, shall be broken, —or, if, in a vessel of bronze, it hath been boiled, then shall the vessel be scoured and rinsed in water.

29 Wonke owesilisa kubapristi uzawudla. Kuyingcwelengcwele.

Any male among the priests may eat thereof, —most holy, it is.

30 Kodwa loba yiwuphi umnikelo wesono okwegazi lawo lingeniswe ethenteni lenhlangano ukwenza inhlawulo yokuthula endaweni engcwele kawuyikudliwa; uzatshiswa ngomlilo.

But, no sin-bearer whereof any of the blood is taken into the tent of meeting to make a propitiatory-covering in the sanctuary, shall be eaten, —with fire, shall it be consumed.
