ULevi 9
1 Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili uMozisi wabiza oAroni lamadodana akhe labadala bakoIsrayeli.
On the eighth day, Moses [Drawn out] called Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons, and the elders of Israel [God prevails];
2 Wathi kuAroni: Zithathele ithole, inkonyana yenkomo, libe ngumnikelo wesono, lenqama ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, okungelasici, ukusondeze eNkosini.
and he said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “Take a calf from the herd for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without defect, and offer them before Adonai.
3 Lebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uzakhuluma uthi: Thathani izinyane lembuzi libe ngumnikelo wesono, lethole, lewundlu, abe lomnyaka owodwa, angelasici, abe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa,
You shall speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘Take a male goat for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without defect, for a burnt offering;
4 lenkabi lenqama zibe yiminikelo yokuthula, zihlatshwe phambi kweNkosi, lomnikelo wokudla oxubene lamafutha; ngoba lamuhla iNkosi izabonakala kini.
and a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Adonai; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today Adonai appears to you.’”
5 Basebethatha lokho uMozisi akulayayo bakuletha phambi kwethente lenhlangano; lenhlangano yonke yasondela, yema phambi kweNkosi.
They brought what Moses [Drawn out] enjoined before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation came near and stood before Adonai.
6 UMozisi wasesithi: Le into iNkosi elilaye ngayo lizayenza; lenkazimulo yeNkosi izabonakala kini.
Moses [Drawn out] said, “This is the thing which Adonai enjoined that you should do: and the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· shall appear to you.”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] said to Aaron [Light-bringer], “Draw near to the altar, and offer your habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as Adonai enjoined.”
8 UAroni wasesondela elathini, walihlaba ithole lomnikelo wesono owawungowakhe.
So Aaron [Light-bringer] came near to the altar, and killed the calf of the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, which was for himself.
9 Amadodana kaAroni aseletha igazi kuye, wasegxamuza umunwe wakhe egazini, walifaka phezu kwempondo zelathi, legazi walithululela kungaphansi yelathi;
The sons of Aaron [Light-bringer] presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar:
10 kodwa amahwahwa, lezinso, lamahwahwa esibindi omnikelo wesono wakutshisa elathini, njengalokho iNkosi imlayile uMozisi.
but the fat, and the kidneys, and the cover from the liver of the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, he burned upon the altar; as Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out].
11 Kodwa inyama lesikhumba wakutshisa ngomlilo ngaphandle kwenkamba.
The meat and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.
12 Wasehlaba umnikelo wokutshiswa; lamadodana kaAroni amnika igazi, waselifafaza phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.
He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar.
13 Amnika lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngezitho zawo lenhloko; wasekutshisa phezu kwelathi.
They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned them upon the altar.
14 Wagezisa imibilini lemilenze, wayitshisa phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa elathini.
He washed the innards and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar.
15 Wasesondeza umnikelo wabantu, wathatha impongo yomnikelo wesono eyayingeyabantu, wayihlaba, wayinikela yaba ngumnikelo wesono, njengowokuqala.
He presented the people’s offering, and took the goat of the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin ·err (the standard goal)·, like the first.
16 Wasondeza umnikelo wokutshiswa, wawulungisa njengokwesimiso.
He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the judgement.
17 Wasondeza umnikelo wokudla, wagcwalisa isandla sakhe ngokwawo, wakutshisa phezu kwelathi, ngaphandle komnikelo wokutshiswa wekuseni.
He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.
18 Wahlaba inkabi lenqama zibe ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula owawungowabantu; lamadodana kaAroni amnika igazi, owalifafaza phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.
He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron [Light-bringer]’s sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled around on the altar,
19 Lamahwahwa enkabi lawenqama, umsila ononileyo, ledanga elisibekelayo, lezinso, lamahwahwa esibindi,
and the fat of the bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the innards, and the kidneys, and the cover of the liver:
20 asebeka amahwahwa phezu kwezifuba; wasetshisa amahwahwa elathini;
and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar:
21 kodwa izifuba lomlenze wokunene uAroni wakuzunguza kwaba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi, njengokulaya kukaMozisi.
and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron [Light-bringer] waved for a wave offering before Adonai, as Moses [Drawn out] enjoined.
22 UAroni wasephakamisela isandla sakhe ebantwini, wababusisa. Wehla ekunikeleni umnikelo wesono lomnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula.
Aaron [Light-bringer] lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
23 UMozisi loAroni basebengena ethenteni lenhlangano; baphuma bababusisa abantu, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yabonakala kubo bonke abantu.
Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer] went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· appeared to all the people.
24 Kwasekuphuma umlilo uvela phambi kweNkosi, watshisa phezu kwelathi umnikelo wokutshiswa lamahwahwa. Bonke abantu bathi bekubona lokhu bamemeza, bawa ngobuso babo.
Fire came out from before Adonai, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
