ULevi 9
1 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili uMozisi wabiza oAroni lamadodana akhe labadala bakoIsrayeli.
On the eighth day after the ordination Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel, to meet with him.
2 Wathi kuAroni: Zithathele ithole, inkonyana yenkomo, libe ngumnikelo wesono, lenqama ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, okungelasici, ukusondeze eNkosini.
He told Aaron, “You need to bring a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, both without defects, and present them before the Lord.
3 Lebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uzakhuluma uthi: Thathani izinyane lembuzi libe ngumnikelo wesono, lethole, lewundlu, abe lomnyaka owodwa, angelasici, abe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa,
Then tell the Israelites, ‘Bring the following offerings: a male goat as a sin offering; a calf and a lamb, (both a year old and without defects), for a burnt offering;
4 lenkabi lenqama zibe yiminikelo yokuthula, zihlatshwe phambi kweNkosi, lomnikelo wokudla oxubene lamafutha; ngoba lamuhla iNkosi izabonakala kini.
a bull and a ram as a peace offering to sacrifice before the Lord; and a grain offering mixed with olive oil. Do this because today the Lord is going to reveal himself to you today.’”
5 Basebethatha lokho uMozisi akulayayo bakuletha phambi kwethente lenhlangano; lenhlangano yonke yasondela, yema phambi kweNkosi.
Following Moses' orders they brought what he'd said to the front of the Tent of Meeting. Everyone came and stood before the Lord.
6 UMozisi wasesithi: Le into iNkosi elilaye ngayo lizayenza; lenkazimulo yeNkosi izabonakala kini.
Moses said, “This is what the Lord ordered me to tell you to do, so that you may see his glory.”
7 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Sondela elathini, wenze umnikelo wakho wesono lomnikelo wakho wokutshiswa, uzenzele wena inhlawulo yokuthula lokwabantu; ubususenza umnikelo wabantu, ubenzele inhlawulo yokuthula, njengokulaya kweNkosi.
Then Moses told Aaron, “Go to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering to make you and the people right. Then sacrifice the offerings brought by the people as a means to make them right, as the Lord ordered.”
8 UAroni wasesondela elathini, walihlaba ithole lomnikelo wesono owawungowakhe.
So Aaron went to the altar and killed the calf as a sin offering for himself.
9 Amadodana kaAroni aseletha igazi kuye, wasegxamuza umunwe wakhe egazini, walifaka phezu kwempondo zelathi, legazi walithululela kungaphansi yelathi;
His sons brought the blood to him. He dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
10 kodwa amahwahwa, lezinso, lamahwahwa esibindi omnikelo wesono wakutshisa elathini, njengalokho iNkosi imlayile uMozisi.
He burned the fat, the kidneys, and the best part of the liver from the sin offering on the altar, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.
11 Kodwa inyama lesikhumba wakutshisa ngomlilo ngaphandle kwenkamba.
However, he burned up the meat and the skin outside the camp.
12 Wasehlaba umnikelo wokutshiswa; lamadodana kaAroni amnika igazi, waselifafaza phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.
Aaron killed the burnt offering. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the sides of the altar.
13 Amnika lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngezitho zawo lenhloko; wasekutshisa phezu kwelathi.
They brought him the head and all the other pieces of the burnt offering, and he burned them on the altar.
14 Wagezisa imibilini lemilenze, wayitshisa phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa elathini.
He washed the insides and the legs and burned them with the rest of the burnt offering on the altar.
15 Wasesondeza umnikelo wabantu, wathatha impongo yomnikelo wesono eyayingeyabantu, wayihlaba, wayinikela yaba ngumnikelo wesono, njengowokuqala.
Then Aaron presented the offerings of the people. He killed the male goat as the sin offering for the people, and offered it in the same way as his own sin offering.
16 Wasondeza umnikelo wokutshiswa, wawulungisa njengokwesimiso.
He presented the burnt offering, doing so in accordance with the regulations.
17 Wasondeza umnikelo wokudla, wagcwalisa isandla sakhe ngokwawo, wakutshisa phezu kwelathi, ngaphandle komnikelo wokutshiswa wekuseni.
He presented the grain offering. He took a handful from it and burned it on the altar, in addition to the burnt offering presented earlier that morning.
18 Wahlaba inkabi lenqama zibe ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula owawungowabantu; lamadodana kaAroni amnika igazi, owalifafaza phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.
Aaron killed the bull and the ram as the peace offering for the people. His sons brought him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the sides of the altar.
19 Lamahwahwa enkabi lawenqama, umsila ononileyo, ledanga elisibekelayo, lezinso, lamahwahwa esibindi,
They also brought him the fat portions from the bull, and from the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the insides, the kidneys, and the best part of the liver—
20 asebeka amahwahwa phezu kwezifuba; wasetshisa amahwahwa elathini;
and put them on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,
21 kodwa izifuba lomlenze wokunene uAroni wakuzunguza kwaba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi, njengokulaya kukaMozisi.
but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had ordered him to do.
22 UAroni wasephakamisela isandla sakhe ebantwini, wababusisa. Wehla ekunikeleni umnikelo wesono lomnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula.
Then Aaron held up his hands towards the people and blessed them. After that he came down from the altar, having completed the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering.
23 UMozisi loAroni basebengena ethenteni lenhlangano; baphuma bababusisa abantu, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yabonakala kubo bonke abantu.
Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord was revealed to everyone.
24 Kwasekuphuma umlilo uvela phambi kweNkosi, watshisa phezu kwelathi umnikelo wokutshiswa lamahwahwa. Bonke abantu bathi bekubona lokhu bamemeza, bawa ngobuso babo.
Fire came from the presence of the Lord and burned up the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. When everyone saw this, they shouted for joy and fell down with their faces to the ground.
