Lakkoobsa 18
1 Waaqayyo Arooniin akkana jedhe; “Ati, ilmaan keetii fi maatiin abbaa keetii si wajjin yakka iddoo qulqulluutti hojjetametti ni gaafatamtu. Yakka lubummaatti hojjetame siʼii fi ilmaan kee qofatu itti gaafatama.
INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Wena lamadodana akho lendlu kayihlo kanye lawe lizathwala ububi bendlu engcwele; futhi wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizathwala ububi bobupristi benu.
2 Akka isaan yeroo atii fi ilmaan kee fuula dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa duratti tajaajiltanitti sitti dabalamanii si gargaaraniif obboloota kee warra gosa Lewwii, warra gosa abbaa keetii sana fidi.
Labafowenu, isizwe sakoLevi, isizwe sikayihlo, basondeze-ke lawe ukuze bahlanganiswe lawe, bakusize. Kodwa wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizakuba phambi kwethente lobufakazi.
3 Isaanis ajaja kee dhagaʼuudhaan hojiiwwan dunkaana keessaa hunda haa hojjetan; garuu miʼa iddoo qulqulluutti yookaan iddoo aarsaatti dhiʼaachuu hin qaban. Yoo akkas taʼe isaanis, atis ni duutu.
Bazagcina umlayo wakho, lemfanelo zethente lonke; kodwa kabayikusondela ezitsheni zendlu engcwele lelathini, ukuze bangafi, labo lani.
4 Isaanis dunkaana wal gaʼii eeguudhaaf isinitti dabalamuu qabu; hojii dunkaana sanaa hundas haa hojjetan. Namni biraa iddoo isin jirtanitti dhiʼaachuu hin qabu.
Bazahlanganiswa lawe, bagcine imfanelo zethente lenhlangano kuyo yonke inkonzo yethente; kodwa owemzini kayikusondela kini.
5 “Isin akka dheekkamsi ammas Israaʼeloota irra hin buuneef eegumsa iddoo qulqulluutii fi eegumsa iddoo aarsaatti ni gaafatamtu.
Njalo lizagcina imfanelo zendlu engcwele lemfanelo zelathi, ukuze kungabi kusaba khona ulaka phezu kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
6 Ani mataan koo obboloota keessan Lewwota kennaawwan isinii kennaman godhee saba Israaʼel keessaa filadheera; isaanis akka hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii keessaa hojjetaniif Waaqayyoof kennamanii jiru.
Mina-ke, khangelani, ngithethe abafowenu amaLevi bevela phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Bayisipho kini, baphiwe iNkosi ukwenza inkonzo yethente lenhlangano.
7 Garuu hojii iddoo aarsaatii fi hojii golgaa keessaa hunda siʼii fi ilmaan kee qofatu hojjeta. Ani hojii lubummaa kennaa godhee isiniif nan kenna. Namni biraa kan iddoo qulqulluutti dhiʼaatu haa ajjeefamu.”
Ngakho wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizagcina ubupristi benu kuzo zonke izinto zelathi laphakathi kweveyili, likhonze. Nginike ubupristi benu bube ngumsebenzi wesipho; kodwa owemzini osondelayo uzabulawa.
8 Waaqayyo Arooniin akkana jedhe; “Ani mataan koo itti gaafatamaa aarsaawwan naa dhiʼeeffamanii si godheera; ani aarsaawwan qulqulluu Israaʼeloonni naaf dhiʼeessan hunda akka isaan bara baraan qoodaa fi gaʼee keessan taʼaniif siʼii fi ilmaan keetiif kenneera.
INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Mina-ke, khangela, ngikunike ukuphathwa kweminikelo yami yokuphakanyiswa yazo zonke izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli; ngiziphe wena, ngenxa yokugcotshwa, lamadodana akho, ngesimiso esilaphakade.
9 Kunis aarsaawwan waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼan kanneen ibiddi hin tuqin keessaa qooda kee taʼa. Kennaawwan isaan aarsaawwan waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼan godhanii naaf fidan jechuunis aarsaawwan midhaanii yookaan aarsaawwan cubbuu yookaan aarsaawwan yakkaa hunda keessaa qoodni sun kan keetii fi kan ilmaan keetii ti.
Lokhu kuzakuba ngokwakho okuvela ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele, zivela emlilweni; yonke iminikelo yabo, yonke iminikelo yabo yokudla, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yesono, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yecala, abazayibuyisela kimi; izakuba ngengcwelengcwele ibe ngeyakho leyamadodana akho.
10 Isas iddoo iddoo hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼetti nyaadhu; dhiirri hundi haa nyaatu; innis qulqulluu siif haa taʼu.
Lizakudlela engcweleni yezingcwele; wonke owesilisa uzakudla; kuzakuba ngcwele kuwe.
11 “Wanni kunis kanuma kee ti; aarsaan sochoofamu kan kennaa saba Israaʼel hunda irraa addaan baafame kanuma kee ti. Anis waan kana siʼii fi ilmaan keetii fi intallan kee kanneen si wajjin jiraataniif qooda bara baraa godhee kenneera. Mana kee keessaa namni akka seeraatti qulqulluu taʼe kam iyyuu waan kana nyaachuu ni dandaʼa.
Lalokhu ngokwakho: Umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesipho sabo, layo yonke iminikelo yokuzunguzwa yabantwana bakoIsrayeli; ngikuphe wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho, ngesimiso esilaphakade. Wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uzakudla.
12 “Zayitii ejersaa filatamaa hunda, daadhii wayinii filatamaa hundaa fi waan galfatan keessaa mataa midhaanii kan isaan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan siif nan kenna.
Ikhethelo lonke lamafutha, lekhethelo lonke lewayini elitsha, lelamabele, lengqabutho yalezo abazazinikela eNkosini, ngiziphe wena.
13 Mataan midhaanii kan isaan waan biyyattii irraa argatan hunda keessaa Waaqayyoof fidan kan kee haa taʼu; mana kee keessaa namni akka seeraatti qulqulluu taʼe kam iyyuu waan kana nyaachuu ni dandaʼa.
Izithelo zokuqala zakho konke okuselizweni labo abazakuletha eNkosini kuzakuba ngokwakho. Wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uzakudla.
14 “Israaʼel keessatti wanni qulqulleeffamee Waaqayyoof kenname hundinuu kee ti.
Konke okwehlukanisiweyo koIsrayeli kuzakuba ngokwakho.
15 Wanni gadameessa saaqu kam iyyuu namas taʼu horiin Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu hundi kan kee ti. Ati garuu ilma hangafa, horii qulqulluu hin taʼin keessaa immoo korma hangafa furuu qabda.
Konke okuvula isizalo, kwayo yonke inyama abakuletha eNkosini, phakathi kwabantu laphakathi kwezifuyo, kuzakuba ngokwakho; kodwa izibulo lomuntu uzalihlenga lokulihlenga, lezibulo lenyamazana engcolileyo uzalihlenga.
16 Yeroo umuriin isaanii jiʼa tokko taʼutti akka saqilii iddoo qulqulluu kan geeraa digdama ulfaatu sanaatti gatii furii murtaaʼe meetii saqilii shaniin isaan furi.
Lalezo ezizahlengwa uzazihlenga kusukela sezilenyanga, njengesilinganiso sakho, ngemali yamashekeli amahlanu, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, elingamagera angamatshumi amabili.
17 “Garuu sangaa hangafa, hoolaa hangafaa fi reʼee hangafa hin furin; isaan qulqulluu dha. Dhiiga isaanii iddoo aarsaa irratti facaasi; cooma isaanii immoo aarsaa ibiddaan dhiʼeeffamu kan urgaan isaa Waaqayyotti tolu godhiitii gubi.
Kodwa izibulo lenkomo, kumbe izibulo lemvu, kumbe izibulo lembuzi, awuyikuwahlenga, angcwele. Uzafafaza igazi lawo phezu kwelathi, utshise amahwahwa awo, abe ngumnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, kube luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
18 Akkuma handaraafni aarsaa sochoofamuutii fi tafni mirgaa kan kee taʼe sana foon isaaniis kan kee taʼa.
Lenyama yawo izakuba ngeyakho, njengesifuba esizunguziweyo lanjengomlenze wokunene, kuzakuba ngokwakho.
19 Ani waan aarsaa qulqulluu Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan irraa addaan baafame hunda siif, ilmaan keetii fi intallan keetiif qooda bara baraa godhee nan kenna. Innis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti siʼii fi sanyii keetiif kakuu soogiddaa kan bara baraa ti.”
Yonke iminikelo yokuphakanyiswa yezinto ezingcwele abantwana bakoIsrayeli abayinikela eNkosini ngiyinike wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho kanye lawe, ngesimiso esilaphakade. Kuyisivumelwano setswayi esilaphakade phambi kweNkosi kuwe lakunzalo yakho kanye lawe.
20 Waaqayyo Arooniin akkana jedhe; “Ati biyya isaanii keessatti dhaala tokko illee yookaan qooda tokko illee isaan gidduudhaa hin qabaattu; ani saba Israaʼel keessatti qooda keetii fi dhaala kee ti.
INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Kawuyikudla ilifa elizweni labo, kawuyikuba lesabelo phakathi kwabo; ngiyisabelo sakho lelifa lakho phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
21 “Kunoo ani kennaa Israaʼel keessa jiru kudhan keessaa tokko hunda waan isaan tajaajila dunkaana wal gaʼii tajaajilaniif dhaala godhee Lewwotaaf kenneera.
Khangela-ke, nginike abantwana bakoLevi konke okwetshumi koIsrayeli kube yilifa, ngomsebenzi wabo abawenzayo, inkonzo yethente lenhlangano.
22 Siʼachi Israaʼeloonni akka cubbuu hin baannee fi akka hin duuneef dunkaana wal gaʼiitti hin dhiʼaatin.
Njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bangabe besasondela ethenteni lenhlangano hlezi bathwale isono bafe.
23 Kan hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii hojjetuu fi kan itti gaafatama yakka achitti hojjetamuu fudhatu Lewwotuma. Kunis dhaloota dhufuuf seera bara baraa ti. Isaan saba Israaʼel keessatti dhaala tokko illee hin argatan.
Kodwa amaLevi azakwenza inkonzo yethente lenhlangano, wona athwale ububi bawo. Kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu; laphakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kawayikuzuza ilifa.
24 Qooda kanaa ani waan Israaʼeloonni kudhan keessaa tokko aarsaa godhanii Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan sana dhaala isaanii godhee Lewwotaaf kenneera. Sababiin ani, ‘Isaan saba Israaʼel keessatti dhaala tokko illee hin qabaatan’ jedhee waaʼee isaanii dubbadheefis kanuma.”
Ngoba okwetshumi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abakunikela eNkosini kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa, ngikunike amaLevi kube yilifa. Ngakho ngitshilo kiwo ukuthi phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kawayikuzuza ilifa.
25 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
26 “Akkana jedhii Lewwotatti dubbadhu: ‘Yommuu kennaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko kan ani dhaala keessan godhee isiniif kenne sana Israaʼeloota irraa fudhatanitti isin kennaa sana harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko aarsaa Waaqayyoo godhaa dhiʼeessaa.
Futhi uzakhuluma kumaLevi uthi kuwo: Nxa lithatha ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli okwetshumi engilinike khona, kuvela kubo kube yilifa lenu, lizanikela kokwakho umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kube ngokwetshumi kwalokho okwetshumi.
27 Aarsaan keessanis akkuma midhaan oobdii irraa yookaan akkuma cuunfaa iddoo ija wayinii itti cuunfanii keessaa baʼeetti isiniif herregama.
Lomnikelo wenu wokuphakanyiswa uzabalelwa lina, njengamabele ebala lokubhulela lanjengokugcwala kwesikhamelo sewayini.
28 Isinis haaluma kanaan kennaa harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko kan Israaʼeloota irraa argatan hunda keessaa Waaqayyoof aarsaa ni dhiʼeessitu; kennaawwan kanneen keessaas waan qooda Waaqayyoo taʼe Aroon lubichaaf kennaa.
Ngalokhu lani lizanikela umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi kukho konke okwetshumi kwenu elikwemukelayo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli; lizanika kokwayo umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kuAroni umpristi.
29 Waan isinii kenname hunda keessaa kutaa waan hunda caalaa gaarii fi qulqulluu taʼe qooda Waaqayyoo godhaatii dhiʼeessaa.’
Kuzo zonke izipho zenu lizanikela wonke umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi; ekhethelweni lonke lazo, ingxenye yayo engcwelisiweyo evela kuyo.
30 “Lewwotaan akkana jedhi: ‘Yommuu isin kutaa waan hunda caalaa gaarii taʼe dhiʼeessitanitti kutaan sun akka midhaan oobdii irraa yookaan akka cuunfaa iddoo ija wayinii itti cuunfan keessaa baʼeetti isinii herregama.
Futhi uzakuthi kuwo: Lapho linikela ikhethelo lazo elivela kuzo, kuzabalelwa amaLevi njengesivuno sebala lokubhulela lanjengesivuno sesikhamelo sewayini.
31 Sababii wanni kun mindaa hojii dunkaana wal gaʼii kan isin hojjettanii taʼeef isinii fi namoonni mana keessan jiraatan waan hafe sana iddoo barbaadan kamitti iyyuu nyaachuu dandeessu.
Lizakudla lokho endaweni zonke, lina lendlu yenu, ngoba kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu ethenteni lenhlangano.
32 Qooda isaa kan waan hunda caalu sana dhiʼeessuudhaan isin waan kana keessatti yakka hin qabaattan; yoos isin aarsaa Israaʼelootaa qulqulluu sana hin xureessitan; hin duutanis.’”
Njalo kaliyikuthwala isono ngenxa yakho, lapho seliphakamisile ikhethelo lakho kukho; kaliyikungcolisa izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuze lingafi.
