Amanani 6
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
2 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Owesilisa loba owesifazana, uba ezehlukanisela ukuthembisa isithembiso somNaziri, ukuze azehlukanisele iNkosi,
“Speak to the people of Israel. Say to them, 'When a man or a woman separates himself to Yahweh with a special vow of a Nazirite,
3 uzazehlukanisa lewayini lokunathwayo okulamandla, anganathi iviniga lewayini, leviniga lokunathwayo okulamandla, anganathi lamhluzi wezithelo zevini, angadli izithelo zevini ezimanzi lezomileyo.
he must keep himself from wine and strong drink. He must not drink vinegar made from wine or from strong drink. 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.
In all the days that he is separate to me, he must eat nothing that is made from grapes, including everything made from the seeds to their 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.
During all the time of his vow of separation, no razor is to be used on his head until the days of his separation to Yahweh are fulfilled. He must be set apart to Yahweh. He must let the hair grow long on his head.
6 Zonke insuku azehlukanisele iNkosi ngazo kayikuya esidunjini.
During all the time that he separates himself to Yahweh, he must not come near a dead body.
7 Kayikuzingcolisa ngoyise, langonina, ngomfowabo, langodadewabo, uba befile, ngoba ukwehlukaniselwa uNkulunkulu wakhe kuphezu kwekhanda lakhe.
He must not make himself unclean even for his father, mother, brother, or sister, if they die. This is because he is separated to God, as everyone can see by his long hair.
8 Zonke insuku zokuzehlukanisela kwakhe ungcwele eNkosini.
During all the time of his separation he is holy, reserved for Yahweh.
9 Uba-ke ofayo ejunywa masinyane yikufa phansi kwakhe, usengcolise ikhanda lokuzehlukanisela kwakhe, uzaphuca ikhanda lakhe ngosuku lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, uzaliphuca ngosuku lwesikhombisa.
If someone very suddenly dies beside him and defiles his consecrated head, then he must shave his head on the day of his purification—on the seventh day he must shave it.
10 Langosuku lwesificaminwembili uzaletha amajuba amabili loba amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba kumpristi emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
On the eighth day he must bring two doves 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,
The priest must offer one bird as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. These will atone for him because he sinned by being near the dead body. He must consecrate his head again on that day.
12 azehlukanisele iNkosi insuku zokuzehlukanisela kwakhe, alethe iwundlu elilomnyaka owodwa libe ngumnikelo wecala; kodwa insuku zakuqala zizakuwa, ngoba ukuzehlukanisela kwakhe kungcolisiwe.
He must set himself apart to Yahweh for the days of his consecration. He must bring a male lamb one year old as a guilt offering. The days before he defiled himself must not be counted, because his consecration was defiled.
13 Lalo ngumlayo womNaziri ngosuku lapho insuku zokuzehlukanisela kwakhe sezigcwalisekile. Uzaletha lokhu emnyango wethente lenhlangano,
This is the law about the Nazirite for when the time of his separation is complete. He must be brought to the entrance of 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,
He must present his offering to Yahweh. He must offer as a burnt offering a male lamb one year old and without blemish. He must bring as a sin offering a female lamb one year old and without blemish. He must bring a ram as a fellowship offering that is without blemish.
15 lesitsha sezinkwa ezingelamvubelo, amaqebelengwana empuphu ecolekileyo ehlanganiswe lamafutha, lezinkwana eziyizipatalala ezingelamvubelo ezinindwe ngamafutha, lomnikelo wazo wokudla leminikelo yazo yokunathwayo.
He must also bring a basket of bread made without yeast, loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, wafers without yeast rubbed with oil, together with their grain offering and drink offerings.
16 Njalo umpristi uzakusondeza phambi kweNkosi, anikele umnikelo wakhe wesono lomnikelo wakhe wokutshiswa.
The priest must present them before Yahweh. He must offer his sin offering and burnt offering.
17 Lenqama uzayinikela ibe ngumhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula eNkosini kanye lesitsha sezinkwa ezingelamvubelo; lompristi uzanikela umnikelo wakhe wokudla lomnikelo wakhe wokunathwayo.
With the basket of unleavened bread, he must present the ram as a sacrifice, the fellowship offering to Yahweh. The priest must present also the grain offering and the drink offering.
18 UmNaziri uzaphuca-ke ikhanda lokuzehlukanisela kwakhe emnyango wethente lenhlangano, athathe inwele zekhanda lokuzehlukanisela kwakhe, azifake emlilweni ongaphansi komhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula.
The Nazirite must shave his head indicating his separation to God at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He must take the hair from his head and put it on the fire that is under the sacrifice of fellowship offerings.
19 Lompristi uzathatha umkhono ophekiweyo wenqama, leqebelengwana elilodwa elingelamvubelo esitsheni, lesinkwana esisodwa esiyisipatalala esingelamvubelo, akubeke ezandleni zomNaziri esephucile ukuzehlukanisela kwakhe,
The priest must take the boiled shoulder of the ram, one loaf of bread without yeast out of the basket, and one wafer without yeast. He must place them into the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his head indicating separation.
20 umpristi akuzunguze-ke kube ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi; kungcwele kumpristi, kanye lesifuba esizunguziweyo kanye lomlenze wokuphakanyiswa. Emva kwalokhu umNaziri usenganatha iwayini.
The priest must wave them as an offering before Yahweh, a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented for the priest. 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 for the Nazirite who vows his offering to Yahweh for his separation. Whatever else he may give, he must keep the obligations of the vow he has taken, to keep the promise indicated by the law for the Nazirite.'”
22 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Again Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
23 Tshono kuAroni lakumadodana akhe uthi: Lizabusisa kanje abantwana bakoIsrayeli, lisithi kubo:
“Speak to Aaron and to his sons. Say, 'You must bless the people of Israel in this way. You must say to them,
24 INkosi kayikubusise, ikulondoloze.
“May Yahweh bless you and keep you.
25 INkosi kayikhanyise ubuso bayo kuwe, ibe lomusa kuwe.
May Yahweh make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.
26 INkosi kayiphakamise ubuso bayo kuwe, ikunike ukuthula.
May Yahweh look on you with favor and give you peace.”'
27 Ngokunjalo bazabeka ibizo lami phezu kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, mina-ke ngizababusisa.
It is in this way that they must give my name to the people of Israel. Then I will bless them.”
