Amanani 17
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Tshono kubantwana bakoIsrayeli, njalo uthathe induku kulowo lalowo wabo, ngokwendlu kayise, kuzo zonke iziphathamandla zabo, ngokwezindlu zaboyise, induku ezilitshumi lambili. Bhala ibizo laleyo laleyondoda endukwini yayo,
“Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri baleete emiggo kkumi n’ebiri nga gireetebwa abakulembeze baabwe mu buli kika, omuggo gumu buli kika. Owandiike erinnya lya buli musajja ku muggo gwe gw’aleese.
3 ubhale ibizo likaAroni endukwini kaLevi. Ngoba induku eyodwa izakuba ngeyenhloko yendlu yaboyise.
Wandiika erinnya lya Alooni ku muggo oguvudde mu kika kya Leevi. Kubanga buli mukulembeze w’ekika ky’obujjajja ajja kubeera n’omuggo ggumu.
4 Njalo uzazibeka ethenteni lenhlangano phambi kobufakazi, lapho engizahlangana lawe khona.
Olyoke ogiteeke mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu mu maaso g’Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, we mbasisinkana.
5 Kuzakuthi-ke induku yendoda engizayikhetha izahluma; njalo ngizathulisa kusuke kimi ukusola kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abalisola ngakho.
Kale nno omuggo gw’oyo gwe nnaalonda gujja kutojjera; bwe ntyo nzija kusirisa okukwemulugunyiza kuno okutatadde okw’abaana ba Isirayiri.”
6 UMozisi wasekhuluma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli; zonke-ke iziphathamandla zabo zamnika izinduku, yabanye kuleso lalesosiphathamandla, njengezindlu zaboyise, induku ezilitshumi lambili; lenduku kaAroni yayiphakathi kwenduku zazo.
Musa n’ategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri; abakulembeze baabwe ne bamuleetera emiggo, buli mukulembeze omuggo gumu gumu, ng’ebika by’obujjajjaabwe bwe byali, okugatta gyonna gy’emiggo kkumi n’ebiri, nga n’omuggo gwa Alooni mwe guli.
7 UMozisi wasezibeka induku phambi kweNkosi ethenteni lobufakazi.
Musa n’ateeka emiggo egyo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda mu Weema ya Mukama ey’Endagaano.
8 Kwasekusithi kusisa uMozisi wangena ethenteni lobufakazi, khangela-ke, induku kaAroni eyendlu kaLevi yayihlumile, yakhupha amahlumela, yakhahlela impoko, yathela ama-alimondi.
Awo bwe bwakya enkya Musa n’ayingira mu Weema ya Mukama awali Essanduuko ey’Endagaano, era laba, ng’omuggo gwa Alooni ow’omu kika kya Leevi nga gutojjedde nga guliko n’obutabi obuto, nga gutaddeko n’ebibala ebyengedde.
9 UMozisi wasezikhuphela phandle zonke induku zivela phambi kweNkosi, kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli; basebekhangela, bathatha ngulowo lalowo induku yakhe.
Musa n’afulumya emiggo gyonna ng’agiggya mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, n’agireeta awali abaana ba Isirayiri; ne bagitunuulira, buli omu n’aggyawo omuggo gwe.
10 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Buyisela induku kaAroni phambi kobufakazi, igcinwe, ibe yisibonakaliso kwabahlamukayo, ukuze ususe ukusola kwabo kimi, ukuze bangafi.
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Omuggo gwa Alooni guzzeeyo awali Essanduuko ey’Endagaano gukuumirwenga awo ng’akabonero ak’okulabulanga abajeemu. Ekyo kinaasirisa okunneemulugunyiza, balyoke bawone okufa.”
11 UMozisi wasesenza; njengalokho iNkosi yamlaya, wenza njalo.
Musa n’akola nga Mukama bwe yamulagira.
12 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebekhuluma kuMozisi besithi: Khangela, siyafa, siyabhubha, sonke siyabhubha!
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagamba Musa nti, “Laba, ffenna tujja kufa! Tujja kuggwaawo, tujja kuzikirira.
13 Wonke osondela lokusondela ethabhanekeleni leNkosi uzakufa. Sizaphela ngokufa yini?
Buli muntu anaasembereranga Eweema ya Mukama ajjanga kufa. Ffenna tuli ba kuzikirira?”
