Amanani 8
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Tshono kuAroni uthi kuye: Nxa ulumathisa izibane, izibane eziyisikhombisa zizakhanyisa ngaphambili phambi koluthi lwesibane.
“Arĩria Harũni, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũrĩbangaga matawa marĩa mũgwanja, mabangage nĩguo ũtheri wamo waragĩre mwena wa na mbere wa mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa.’”
3 UAroni wasesenza njalo; ngaphambili phambi koluthi lwesibane walumathisa izibane zalo, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
Harũni agĩĩka o ta ũguo; akĩbanga matawa macio amaroretie mwena ũrĩa ũtheri wamo watheragĩra hau mbere ya mũtĩ ũcio maaigagĩrĩrwo, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkwo.
4 Lalo umsebenzi woluthi lwesibane wawungowegolide elikhandiweyo, kuze kube sesidindini salo kuze kuye emalubeni alo lwalukhandiwe; njengesifanekiso iNkosi eyamtshengisa sona uMozisi, walwenza njalo uluthi lwesibane.
Mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa wathondeketwo ũũ: wathondeketwo na thahabu ya gũturwo, kuuma gĩtina-inĩ kĩaguo o nginya kũrĩa mahũa maguo maarĩ. Mũhianĩre wa mũtĩ ũcio wa kũigĩrĩrwo matawa wathondeketwo o ta ũrĩa mũhianĩre waguo wonetio Musa nĩ Jehova.
5 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
6 Khupha amaLevi phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, uwahlambulule;
“Oya Alawii ũmeherie kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ a Isiraeli, ũmatherie mathirwo nĩ thaahu.
7 wenze ngokunjalo kuwo ukuwahlambulula; ufafaze phezu kwawo amanzi okuhlambulula, njalo adlulise impuco emzimbeni wawo wonke, awatshe izigqoko zawo, azihlambulule.
Ũkĩmatheria ũgeekaga ũũ: Maminjaminjĩrie maaĩ ma kũmatheria thaahu; macooke menje njuĩrĩ cia mĩĩrĩ yao kũndũ guothe na mathambie nguo ciao, nĩguo metherie.
8 Athathe ijongosi ithole lenkomo, lomnikelo walo wokudla, impuphu ecolekileyo ixubene lamafutha, uthathe lelinye ijongosi ithole lenkomo, libe ngumnikelo wesono.
Ningĩ ũreke moe gategwa hamwe na iruta rĩako rĩa mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno ũtukanĩtio na maguta; nawe ũcooke woe gategwa kangĩ ga keerĩ ga kũrutwo igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
9 Njalo uzasondeza amaLevi phambi kwethente lenhlangano, ubuthanise inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ũrehe Alawii acio mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na ũcooke wĩte kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli hamwe.
10 Usondeze amaLevi phambi kweNkosi, njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazabeka izandla zabo phezu kwamaLevi,
Ũrehe Alawii acio mbere ya Jehova, nao andũ a Isiraeli mamaigĩrĩre moko mĩtwe.
11 loAroni azunguze amaLevi, abe ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi, evela ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ukuze abe ngasebenza umsebenzi weNkosi.
Nake Harũni arutĩre Jehova Alawii acio hau mbere yake taarĩ igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio rĩrutĩtwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩguo maikarage mehaarĩirie kũruta wĩra wa Jehova.
12 AmaLevi azabeka-ke izandla zawo enhlokweni yamajongosi; unikele elinye libe ngumnikelo wesono, lelinye libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini, ukuwenzela amaLevi inhlawulo yokuthula.
“Thuutha ũcio Alawii maigĩrĩre moko mao mĩtwe ya ndegwa icio, ũcirutĩre Jehova, ĩmwe ĩtuĩke ya igongona rĩa kũhoroherio mehia na ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩtuĩke iruta rĩa njino, nĩgeetha Alawii mahoroherio.
13 Njalo uzawamisa amaLevi phambi kukaAroni laphambi kwamadodana akhe, uwazunguze abe ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa eNkosini.
Reke Alawii marũgame mbere ya Harũni na ariũ ake, na ũcooke ũmarutĩre Jehova taarĩ igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio.
14 Ngakho uzakwehlukanisa amaLevi uwakhuphe phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuthi amaLevi abe ngawami.
Ũguo nĩguo ũkaamũra Alawii, ũmeherie kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ a Isiraeli, nao Alawii acio matuĩke akwa.
15 Lemva kwalokho amaLevi azangena ukukhonza ethenteni lenhlangano. Njalo uzawahlambulula, uwazunguze abe ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa.
“Warĩkia gũtheria Alawii acio na kũmaruta matuĩke ta igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio-rĩ, nĩmarutage wĩra wao Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
16 Ngoba wona aphiwe lokuphiwa mina ephuma phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Esikhundleni salokho okuvula sonke isizalo, izibulo laye wonke wabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngizithathele wona.
Acio nĩo andũ a Isiraeli arĩa mekũheanwo kũrĩ niĩ biũ. Ndĩmeyoeire marĩ akwa ithenya rĩa marigithathi ma ciana cia tũhĩĩ kuuma kũrĩ mũtumia o wothe Mũisiraeli.
17 Ngoba lonke izibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli ngelami, phakathi kwabantu laphakathi kwezifuyo. Ngosuku engatshaya ngalo lonke izibulo elizweni leGibhithe ngazingcwelisela wona;
Irigithathi o rĩothe rĩa njamba gũkũ Isiraeli, kana nĩ rĩa mũndũ kana nĩ rĩa nyamũ-rĩ, nĩ rĩakwa. Rĩrĩa ndooragire marigithathi mothe kũu bũrũri wa Misiri-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo ndaamaamũrire matuĩke akwa mwene.
18 sengithethe amaLevi esikhundleni sawo wonke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Na niĩ nĩ njoete Alawii ithenya rĩa marigithathi mothe ma ciana cia tũhĩĩ thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.
19 Ngiwanikile amaLevi njengabaphiweyo kuAroni lakumadodana akhe, ephuma phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukukhonza inkonzo yabantwana bakoIsrayeli ethenteni lenhlangano, lokwenzela abantwana bakoIsrayeli inhlawulo yokuthula, ukuze kungabi lenhlupheko phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, nxa abantwana bakoIsrayeli besondela endlini engcwele.
Thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli othe-rĩ, nĩheanĩte Alawii matuĩke iheo kũrĩ Harũni na ariũ ake, na marutage wĩra Hema-inĩ-ĩno-ya-Gũtũnganwo handũ ha andũ a Isiraeli, na mamahorohagĩrie nĩgeetha andũ a Isiraeli matikae kũniinwo na mũthiro hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mangĩkuhĩrĩria handũ-harĩa-haamũre.”
20 UMozisi loAroni lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza kumaLevi njengakho konke iNkosi eyakulaya uMozisi mayelana lamaLevi; benza njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli kuwo.
Musa, na Harũni marĩ na kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka Alawii o ta ũguo Jehova aathĩte Musa.
21 LamaLevi azihlambulula, ahlamba izembatho zawo; uAroni wasewazunguza aba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi; loAroni wawenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ukuwahlambulula.
Alawii acio magĩĩtheria na magĩthambia nguo ciao. Harũni nake agĩcooka akĩmaruta ta igongona rĩa gũthũngũthio mbere ya Jehova, na akĩmahoroheria nĩguo amatherie.
22 Lemva kwalokho amaLevi angena ukwenza inkonzo yawo ethenteni lenhlangano phambi kukaAroni laphambi kwamadodana akhe. Njengalokhu iNkosi yamlaya uMozisi ngamaLevi, benza njalo kuwo.
Thuutha ũcio, Alawii magĩtoonya Hema-inĩ-ĩyo-ya-Gũtũnganwo marutage wĩra wao marũgamĩrĩirwo nĩ Harũni na ariũ ake. Magĩĩka Alawii acio o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa gwĩkwo.
23 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
24 Yilokhu okuqondene lamaLevi: Kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu langaphezulu azangena ukukhonza inkonzo, enkonzweni yethente lenhlangano.
“Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũkoniĩ Alawii: Atĩrĩ, arũme othe arĩa mahingĩtie mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano na makĩria nĩo marĩũkaga kũruta wĩra Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo,
25 Njalo kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu azaphuma enkonzweni yenkonzo, angabe esasebenza;
no mahingia mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano-rĩ, no nginya mahurũke kuuma wĩra ũcio wao wa gũtungata, matigacooke kũruta wĩra.
26 kodwa azasiza abazalwane bawo ethenteni lenhlangano ukugcina umlindo, kodwa angasebenzi umsebenzi. Uzakwenza njalo kumaLevi kumfanelo zawo.
No rĩrĩ, no mateithagĩrĩrie ariũ a ithe wao rĩrĩa mekũruta wĩra Hema-inĩ-ya-Gũtũnganwo, no-o ene matikarute wĩra ũcio. Ũguo nĩguo ũrĩgayagĩra Alawii wĩra ũrĩa marĩrutaga.”
