1 INkosi yasimbiza uMozisi yakhuluma kuye isethenteni lenhlangano yathi:
Awo Mukama n’ayita Musa, n’ayogera naye ng’asinziira mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. N’amulagira nti,
2 Khuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Nxa umuntu wakini esondeza umnikelo eNkosini, lizasondeza umnikelo wenu ovela ezifuyweni, ovela enkomeni, loba ovela ezimvini.
“Yogera n’abaana ba Isirayiri obagambe nti, ‘Omuntu yenna mu mmwe bw’aneeteesanga okuleeta ekiweebwayo eri Mukama, anaaleetanga ekiweebwayo kya nte ng’agiggya mu kiraalo kye, oba endiga oba embuzi ng’agiggya mu kisibo kye.’
3 Uba umnikelo wakhe ungumnikelo wokutshiswa ovela enkomeni, uzanikela iduna elingelasici, alinikele emnyango wethente lenhlangano, ngokuthanda kwakhe, phambi kweNkosi.
“Ekiweebwayo bwe kinaabanga ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa nga kiva mu kiraalo ky’ente, anaawangayo seddume etaliiko kamogo. Anaagyereeteranga n’agiweerayo ku mulyango gwa Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, kiryoke kikkirizibwe eri Mukama.
4 Uzabeka isandla sakhe enhlokweni yomnikelo wokutshiswa, njalo wemukelelwe yena, ukumenzela inhlawulo yokuthula.
Omuntu aleese ekiweebwayo ekyo ekyokebwa anaakwatanga omutwe gwakyo, era kinakkirizibwanga ku lulwe kiryoke kimutangiririre olw’ebibi bye.
5 Uzalihlaba ijongosi phambi kweNkosi; lamadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azanikela igazi, afafaze igazi elathini inhlangothi zonke, elisemnyango wethente lenhlangano.
Seddume eyo anaagittiranga mu maaso ga Mukama; era batabani ba Alooni, bakabona, banaddiranga omusaayi gwayo ne baguwaayo eri Mukama nga bagumansira ku kyoto okwebungulula enjuuyi zonna ez’ekyoto ekiri awo okumpi n’omulyango gwa Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
6 Uzahlinza umnikelo wokutshiswa, awusike ngeziqa zawo.
Awo ekiweebwayo ekyo ekyokebwa anaakibaagangako eddiba, n’akitemaatemamu ebifi.
7 Njalo amadodana kaAroni umpristi azafaka umlilo elathini, ahlele inkuni phezu komlilo.
Batabani ba Alooni, kabona, banaakumanga omuliro mu kyoto, ne batindikira bulungi enku ku muliro ogwo.
8 Amadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azahlela-ke izitho, inhloko lamahwahwa, phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni ophezu kwelathi.
Awo batabani ba Alooni, bakabona, banaategekanga bulungi ebifi ebyo, nga n’omutwe n’amasavu babitaddeko; banaabissanga ku nku ezikoledde omuliro ku kyoto.
9 Kodwa imibilini yalo lemilenze yalo uzakugezisa ngamanzi; njalo umpristi uzakutshisa konke elathini, kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
Eyaleese ekiweebwayo ekyo anaanaazanga n’amazzi eby’omu lubuto n’amagulu; ebyo byonna kabona anaabyokyanga ku kyoto ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, ekyokeddwa mu muliro ne kivaamu evvumbe eddungi erisanyusa Mukama.
10 Njalo uba umnikelo wakhe uvela emhlanjini, owezimvu loba owembuzi, kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, uzasondeza iduna elingelasici;
“Ekinaaleetebwanga okuba ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa bwe kinaavanga mu kisibo, oba ndiga oba mbuzi, omuntu oyo anaawangayo ennume etaliiko kamogo.
11 uzalihlabela eceleni kwelathi ngenyakatho, phambi kweNkosi; njalo amadodana kaAroni, abapristi, azafafaza igazi lalo elathini inhlangothi zonke.
Anaagittiranga ku luuyi olwakkono olw’ekyoto mu maaso ga Mukama, era batabani ba Alooni, bakabona, banaamansiranga omusaayi gwayo ku njuyi zonna ez’ekyoto okukyebungulula.
12 Uzalisika ngeziqa zalo, lenhloko yalo lamahwahwa alo; lompristi uzakuhlela phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni ophezu kwelathi.
Anaagitemaatemangamu ebifi; era kabona anaategekanga bulungi ebifi ebyo, nga n’omutwe n’amasavu abitaddeko, n’abissa ku nku ezikoledde omuliro ku kyoto.
13 Kodwa uzagezisa imibilini lemilenze ngamanzi; lompristi uzakunikela konke, akutshise elathini; kungumnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
Eyaleese ekiweebwayo ekyo anaanaazanga n’amazzi eby’omu lubuto n’amagulu; ebyo byonna kabona anaabiwangayo, n’abyokya ku kyoto, nga kye kiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekyokeddwa mu muliro, ne kivaamu evvumbe eddungi erisanyusa Mukama.
14 Uba-ke umnikelo wakhe eNkosini ungumnikelo wokutshiswa owezinyoni, uzanikela umnikelo wakhe uvela emajubeni loba amaphuphu enkwilimba.
“Ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa eri Mukama bwe kinaabanga eky’ennyonyi, omuntu anaaleetanga ekiweebwayo eky’amayiba oba eky’enjiibwa ento.
15 Umpristi alisondeze elathini, atshuphune inhloko yalo, alitshise elathini, legazi lalo likhanyelwe eceleni kwelathi,
Kabona anaaleetanga ennyonyi eyo ku kyoto n’aginyoola omutwe n’agukutulako, n’agwokya ku kyoto; omusaayi gwayo anaagukenenuliranga mu mbiriizi z’ekyoto.
16 asuse isidlelo salo lensiba zalo, akulahle eceleni kwelathi ngempumalanga, endaweni yomlotha,
Anaagiggyangamu ekisakiro kyayo n’ebikirimu, n’akisuula ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba olw’ekyoto mu kifo awayiyibwa evvu.
17 aliqhaqhe ngempiko zalo, angalehlukanisi; umpristi alitshise-ke elathini, phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni; kungumnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oloqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
Anaagikwatanga ebiwaawaatiro n’agiyuza; kyokka taagiryebulirengamu ddala. Anaagyokeranga ku nku ezikoledde omuliro mu kyoto; nga kye kiweebwayo ekyokebwa ekyokeddwa mu muliro ne kivaamu evvumbe eddungi erisanyusa Mukama.
