Amanani 17
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
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,
“Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ke maʻu mei ai taki taha ʻae tokotoko ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi he houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻae tokotoko ʻe hongofulu ma ua: ke ke tohi ʻae hingoa ʻoe tangata taki taha ki hono tokotoko.
3 ubhale ibizo likaAroni endukwini kaLevi. Ngoba induku eyodwa izakuba ngeyenhloko yendlu yaboyise.
Pea ke tohi ʻae hingoa ʻo ʻElone ki he tokotoko ʻo Livai: ʻe tuku ʻae tokotoko taki taha ki he ʻeiki ʻoe fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
4 Njalo uzazibeka ethenteni lenhlangano phambi kobufakazi, lapho engizahlangana lawe khona.
Pea ʻe tuku ia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakamoʻoni, ʻaia te u fetaulaki ai mo kimoutolu.
5 Kuzakuthi-ke induku yendoda engizayikhetha izahluma; njalo ngizathulisa kusuke kimi ukusola kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abalisola ngakho.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e tokotoko ʻoe tangata te u fili ki ai, ʻe moto ia: pea te u fai ke fakangata ʻae lāunga kiate au ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku nau lāunga ʻaki kiate kimoua.”
6 UMozisi wasekhuluma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli; zonke-ke iziphathamandla zabo zamnika izinduku, yabanye kuleso lalesosiphathamandla, njengezindlu zaboyise, induku ezilitshumi lambili; lenduku kaAroni yayiphakathi kwenduku zazo.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe taki taha ʻange ʻe honau houʻeiki ʻa hono tokotoko ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ko e tokotoko ʻe hongofulu ma ua: pea ko e tokotoko ʻo ʻElone naʻe ʻai fakataha mo ʻenau ngaahi tokotoko.
7 UMozisi wasezibeka induku phambi kweNkosi ethenteni lobufakazi.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi tokotoko ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
8 Kwasekusithi kusisa uMozisi wangena ethenteni lobufakazi, khangela-ke, induku kaAroni eyendlu kaLevi yayihlumile, yakhupha amahlumela, yakhahlela impoko, yathela ama-alimondi.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene pongipongi hake naʻe hū ʻa Mōsese ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni; pea vakai, ko e tokotoko ʻo ʻElone mei he fale ʻo Livai, kuo matala pea kuo tupu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi moto, mo e fisiʻi ʻakau, pea mo e ngaahi telie.
9 UMozisi wasezikhuphela phandle zonke induku zivela phambi kweNkosi, kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli; basebekhangela, bathatha ngulowo lalowo induku yakhe.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae ngaahi tokotoko kotoa pē ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau mamata, pea naʻe taki taha ʻave ʻe he tangata ʻa hono tokotoko.
10 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Buyisela induku kaAroni phambi kobufakazi, igcinwe, ibe yisibonakaliso kwabahlamukayo, ukuze ususe ukusola kwabo kimi, ukuze bangafi.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Toe ʻomi ʻae tokotoko, ʻo ʻElone ki he ʻao ʻoe fakamoʻoni, ke tuku ia ko e fakaʻilonga ki he kau angatuʻu; pea te ke fakaʻosi ʻaupito ʻenau lāunga kiate au, telia naʻa nau mate.”
11 UMozisi wasesenza; njengalokho iNkosi yamlaya, wenza njalo.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe Mōsese: ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia, naʻe pehē ʻene fai.
12 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebekhuluma kuMozisi besithi: Khangela, siyafa, siyabhubha, sonke siyabhubha!
Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku mau mate, ʻoku mau malaʻia, ʻoku mau malaʻia kotoa pē.
13 Wonke osondela lokusondela ethabhanekeleni leNkosi uzakufa. Sizaphela ngokufa yini?
Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ke ofi siʻi ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova ʻe mate ia: te mau fakaʻau aipe ke ʻauha ʻi he mate?”
