< ULevi 6 >

1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Yahweh spoke to 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,
“If anyone sins and acts unfaithfully against Yahweh by deceiving his neighbor regarding something held in trust, or was left in his care, or about something that was stolen, or if he has oppressed his neighbor,
3 kumbe uthola lokho okwakulahlekile, uqambe amanga ngakho, ufunge amanga, loba kukuphi kwazo zonke lezo izinto umuntu azenzayo, one ngakho,
or he has found something that his neighbor lost and lies about it, or if he swears falsely, or in any matters like these by which people sin,
4 kuzakuthi-ke ngoba onile elecala, uzabuyisela impango ayiphangileyo, loba lokho owakuzuza ngokucindezela, loba lokho okwanikelwa kuye ukuthi akulondoloze, loba lokho okwakulahlekile akutholileyo,
and if he has sinned and is found to be guilty, he must restore whatever he took by robbery or oppression, or that which was entrusted to him, or that which was lost but that he had found.
5 kumbe kukho konke afunge amanga ngakho; uzakubuyisa ngesiqokoqela sakho, engezelele kukho ingxenye yesihlanu yakho, amnike lowo engeyakhe ngosuku lomnikelo wakhe wecala.
In addition, in any matter in which he swore falsely, he must restore it in full and he must add one-fifth of the value of it and pay it all to the owner on the day that he is found guilty.
6 Njalo uzaletha umnikelo wakhe wecala eNkosini, inqama engelasici emhlanjini, elesilinganiso sakho sentengo, kube ngumnikelo wecala, ayise kumpristi,
Then he must bring his guilt offering to Yahweh, a ram without blemish from the flock that is worth the current value, as a guilt offering to the priest.
7 njalo umpristi uzamenzela inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi, njalo uzathethelelwa, loba kukuphi kwakho konke akwenzileyo alecala ngakho.
The priest will make atonement for him before Yahweh, and he will be forgiven concerning whatever he has become guilty of doing.”
8 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Then Yahweh spoke to 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 burnt offering: The burnt offering must be on the hearth of the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar will be kept burning.
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.
The priest will put on his linen clothes, and he will also put on his linen underclothes. He will pick up the ashes that are left after the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he will put the ashes beside the altar.
11 Abesekhulula izembatho zakhe, embathe ezinye izembatho, akhuphele umlotha ngaphandle kwenkamba endaweni ehlambulukileyo.
He will take off his garments and put on other garments to carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is clean.
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.
The fire on the altar will be kept burning. It must not go out, and the priest will burn wood on it every morning. He will arrange the burnt offering as required on it, and he will burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.
13 Umlilo uzabhebha njalonjalo elathini, ungacitshi.
Fire must be kept burning on the altar continually. It must not go out.
14 Lalo ngumlayo womnikelo wokudla. Amadodana kaAroni azawunikela phambi kweNkosi, phambi kwelathi.
This is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron will offer it before Yahweh before 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.
The priest will take up a handful of the fine flour of the grain offering and of the oil and the incense which is on the grain offering, and he will burn it on the altar to produce a sweet aroma as a representative offering.
16 Lokuseleyo kuwo uAroni lamadodana akhe bazakudla, kuzadliwa kungelamvubelo endaweni engcwele, lokhu bazakudla egumeni lethente lenhlangano.
Aaron and his sons will eat whatever is left of the offering. It must be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They will eat it in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.
17 Kakuyikubhakwa ngemvubelo. Kuyisabelo sabo engisinike kuminikelo yami eyenziwe ngomlilo; kuyingcwelengcwele, njengomnikelo wesono lanjengomnikelo wecala.
It must not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their part of my offerings made by fire. It is most holy, as the sin offering and the guilt offering.
18 Bonke abesilisa ebantwaneni bakaAroni bazakudla. Kuyisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu, esivela eminikelweni yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo; wonke okuthintayo uzakuba ngcwele.
For all time to come throughout your people's generations, any male descended from Aaron may eat it as his share, taken from the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Whoever touches them will become holy.'”
19 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
So Yahweh spoke to Moses again, 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 offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they will offer to Yahweh on the day when each son is anointed: a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
21 Uzakwenzelwa emganwini oyincence ngamafutha. Uzawuletha uxutshanisiwe, unikele ngencezu ezibhakiweyo zomnikelo wokudla, zibe luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
It will be made with oil in a baking pan. When it is soaked, you will bring it in. In baked pieces you will offer the grain offering to produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh.
22 Lompristi wamadodana akhe, ogcotshiweyo esikhundleni sakhe, uzakwenza. Kuyisimiso saphakade eNkosini. Uzatshiswa ngokupheleleyo.
The son of the high priest who is becoming the new high priest from among his sons will offer it. As commanded forever, all of it shall be burned to Yahweh.
23 Wonke-ke umnikelo wokudla wompristi uzatshiswa ngokupheleleyo, ungadliwa.
Every grain offering of the priest will be completely burned up. It must not be eaten.”
24 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Yahweh spoke to Moses again, 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 to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is the law of the sin offering: The sin offering must be killed at the place where the burnt offering is killed before Yahweh. It is most holy.
26 Umpristi owunikelela isono uzawudla; uzadlelwa endaweni engcwele, egumeni lethente lenhlangano.
The priest who offers it for sin will eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place in the courtyard of the tent of meeting.
27 Konke okuthinta inyama yawo kuzakuba ngcwele; lofafaza okwegazi lawo esigqokweni, lokhu afafaze kikho wena uzakugezisa endaweni engcwele.
Whatever touches its meat will become holy, and if the blood is sprinkled on any garment, you must wash it, the part that was sprinkled on, in a holy place.
28 Njalo imbiza yebumba okuphekelwe kuyo izaphahlazwa; kodwa uba kuphekelwe embizeni yethusi, kayiphalwe ihlanjululwe ngamanzi.
But the clay pot in which it is boiled must be broken. If it is boiled in a bronze pot, it must be scrubbed and rinsed clean in water.
29 Wonke owesilisa kubapristi uzawudla. Kuyingcwelengcwele.
Any male among the priests may eat some of it because it is most holy.
30 Kodwa loba yiwuphi umnikelo wesono okwegazi lawo lingeniswe ethenteni lenhlangano ukwenza inhlawulo yokuthula endaweni engcwele kawuyikudliwa; uzatshiswa ngomlilo.
But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place must not be eaten. It must be burned.
