Amanani 6
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Owesilisa loba owesifazana, uba ezehlukanisela ukuthembisa isithembiso somNaziri, ukuze azehlukanisele iNkosi,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if a man or woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,
3 uzazehlukanisa lewayini lokunathwayo okulamandla, anganathi iviniga lewayini, leviniga lokunathwayo okulamandla, anganathi lamhluzi wezithelo zevini, angadli izithelo zevini ezimanzi lezomileyo.
he is to abstain from wine and strong drink. He must not drink vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and he must not drink any grape juice or eat fresh grapes or raisins.
4 Zonke insuku zokuzehlukanisela kwakhe kayikudla okolutho olwenziwe ngevini lewayini, kusukela enhlamvini kusiya emakhasini.
All the days of his separation, he is not to eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.
5 Zonke insuku zesithembiso sokuzehlukanisela kwakhe impuco kayiyikudlula phezu kwekhanda lakhe; kuze kugcwaliseke insuku zokuzehlukanisela kwakhe iNkosi uzakuba ngcwele, ayekele izihluthu zenwele zekhanda lakhe zikhule.
For the entire period of his vow of separation, no razor shall pass over his head. He must be holy until the time of his separation to the LORD is complete; he must let the hair of his head grow long.
6 Zonke insuku azehlukanisele iNkosi ngazo kayikuya esidunjini.
Throughout the days of his separation to the LORD, he must not go near a dead body.
7 Kayikuzingcolisa ngoyise, langonina, ngomfowabo, langodadewabo, uba befile, ngoba ukwehlukaniselwa uNkulunkulu wakhe kuphezu kwekhanda lakhe.
Even if his father or mother or brother or sister should die, he is not to defile himself, because the crown of consecration to his God is upon his head.
8 Zonke insuku zokuzehlukanisela kwakhe ungcwele eNkosini.
Throughout the time of his separation, he is holy to the LORD.
9 Uba-ke ofayo ejunywa masinyane yikufa phansi kwakhe, usengcolise ikhanda lokuzehlukanisela kwakhe, uzaphuca ikhanda lakhe ngosuku lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, uzaliphuca ngosuku lwesikhombisa.
If someone suddenly dies in his presence and defiles his consecrated head of hair, he must shave his head on the day of his cleansing—the seventh day.
10 Langosuku lwesificaminwembili uzaletha amajuba amabili loba amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba kumpristi emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
On the eighth day he must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
11 Lompristi uzanikela enye ibe ngumnikelo wesono, lenye ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, amenzele inhlawulo yokuthula, ngoba wonile ngesidumbu. Njalo uzangcwelisa ikhanda lakhe ngalona lolosuku,
And the priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for him, because he has sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. On that day he must consecrate his head again.
12 azehlukanisele iNkosi insuku zokuzehlukanisela kwakhe, alethe iwundlu elilomnyaka owodwa libe ngumnikelo wecala; kodwa insuku zakuqala zizakuwa, ngoba ukuzehlukanisela kwakhe kungcolisiwe.
He must rededicate his time of separation to the LORD and bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. But the preceding days shall not be counted, because his separation was defiled.
13 Lalo ngumlayo womNaziri ngosuku lapho insuku zokuzehlukanisela kwakhe sezigcwalisekile. Uzaletha lokhu emnyango wethente lenhlangano,
Now this is the law of the Nazirite when his time of separation is complete: He must be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
14 anikele umnikelo wakhe eNkosini, iwundlu elilodwa elilomnyaka owodwa elingelasici libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, lewundlukazi elilodwa elilomnyaka owodwa elingelasici libe ngumnikelo wesono, lenqama ibenye engelasici ibe yiminikelo yokuthula,
and he is to present an offering to the LORD of an unblemished year-old male lamb as a burnt offering, an unblemished year-old female lamb as a sin offering, and an unblemished ram as a peace offering—
15 lesitsha sezinkwa ezingelamvubelo, amaqebelengwana empuphu ecolekileyo ehlanganiswe lamafutha, lezinkwana eziyizipatalala ezingelamvubelo ezinindwe ngamafutha, lomnikelo wazo wokudla leminikelo yazo yokunathwayo.
together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—and a basket of unleavened cakes made from fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers coated with oil.
16 Njalo umpristi uzakusondeza phambi kweNkosi, anikele umnikelo wakhe wesono lomnikelo wakhe wokutshiswa.
The priest is to present all these before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.
17 Lenqama uzayinikela ibe ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula eNkosini kanye lesitsha sezinkwa ezingelamvubelo; lompristi uzanikela umnikelo wakhe wokudla lomnikelo wakhe wokunathwayo.
He shall also offer the ram as a peace offering to the LORD, along with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest is to offer the accompanying grain offering and drink offering.
18 UmNaziri uzaphuca-ke ikhanda lokuzehlukanisela kwakhe emnyango wethente lenhlangano, athathe inwele zekhanda lokuzehlukanisela kwakhe, azifake emlilweni ongaphansi komhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula.
Then at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Nazirite is to shave his consecrated head, take the hair, and put it on the fire under the peace offering.
19 Lompristi uzathatha umkhono ophekiweyo wenqama, leqebelengwana elilodwa elingelamvubelo esitsheni, lesinkwana esisodwa esiyisipatalala esingelamvubelo, akubeke ezandleni zomNaziri esephucile ukuzehlukanisela kwakhe,
And the priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them into the hands of the Nazirite who has just shaved the hair of his consecration.
20 umpristi akuzunguze-ke kube ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi; kungcwele kumpristi, kanye lesifuba esizunguziweyo kanye lomlenze wokuphakanyiswa. Emva kwalokhu umNaziri usenganatha iwayini.
The priest shall then wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. This is a holy portion for the priest, in addition to the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.
21 Lo ngumlayo womNaziri othembise umnikelo wakhe wokuzehlukanisela kwakhe eNkosini, ngaphandle kwalokho isandla sakhe singafinyelela kukho; njengesithembiso sakhe asithembisileyo uzakwenza njalo, njengomlayo wobuNaziri bakhe.
This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD for his separation, in addition to whatever else he can afford; he must fulfill whatever vow he makes, according to the law of his separation.”
22 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 Tshono kuAroni lakumadodana akhe uthi: Lizabusisa kanje abantwana bakoIsrayeli, lisithi kubo:
“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24 INkosi kayikubusise, ikulondoloze.
‘May the LORD bless you and keep you;
25 INkosi kayikhanyise ubuso bayo kuwe, ibe lomusa kuwe.
may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26 INkosi kayiphakamise ubuso bayo kuwe, ikunike ukuthula.
may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’
27 Ngokunjalo bazabeka ibizo lami phezu kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, mina-ke ngizababusisa.
So they shall put My name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
