1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Taura kuvaprista vanakomana vaAroni uti kwavari: ‘Muprista haafaniri kuzvisvibisa, achiitira kunyange ani zvake pakati pavanhu vake vanofa.
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Yankhula ndi ansembe, ana a Aaroni, ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Wansembe asadzidetse pokhudza munthu wakufa pakati pa abale ake.
2 Kunze kwehama yepedyo yakaita samai kana baba vake, mwanakomana kana mwanasikana wake, mukoma kana mununʼuna wake,
Koma akhoza kukhudza thupi lakufa la amayi ake, abambo ake, mwana wake wamwamuna, mwana wake wamkazi, mchimwene wake,
3 kana hanzvadzi yake isina kuroorwa yaanochengeta sezvo asina murume nokuda kwaiyeyu angagona kuzvisvibisa.
kapena mlongo wake wosakwatiwa amene amadalira iye chifukwa sanakwatiwe. Iye akhoza kudzidetsa pokhudza thupi lakufa la mchemwali wake wosakwatiwa yekha.
4 Haafaniri kuzvisvibisa nokuda kwavanhu vano ukama naye hwokuwanana, akadaro azvisvibisa.
Koma wansembe asadzidetse chifukwa cha anthu amene ali nawo pa ubale obwera chifukwa cha ukwati.
5 “‘Vaprista havafaniri kuveurwa misoro kana kudimburira ndebvu dzavo kana kutema miviri yavo nyora.
“‘Ansembe asamete tsitsi kumutu kwawo kapena mʼmphepete mwa ndevu zawo, kapenanso kudzichekacheka pa thupi lawo.
6 Vanofanira kuva vatsvene kuna Mwari wavo uye havafaniri kumhura zita raMwari wavo. Nokuti vanouyisa kuna Jehovha zvipiriso zvinoitwa nomoto, nezvokudya zvaMwari wavo; naizvozvo vanofanira kuva vatsvene.
Ayenera kukhala oyera pamaso pa Mulungu wawo ndipo asachititse manyazi dzina la Mulungu wawo. Popeza amapereka nsembe zotentha pa moto kwa Yehova, chakudya cha Mulungu wawo, iwo azikhala woyera.
7 “‘Havafaniri kuwana vakadzi vakasvibiswa noufeve kana kuti vakarambwa navarume vavo nokuti muprista mutsvene kuna Mwari wake.
“‘Asakwatire akazi amene adzidetsa ndi chiwerewere kapena akazi amene amuna awo awasudzula, chifukwa ansembe ndi oyera pamaso pa Mulungu wawo.
8 Mutsaurei somutsvene nokuti ndiye anouya nezvokudya zvaMwari wenyu. Mutsaurei somutsvene nokuti ini Jehovha ndiri mutsvene, ini ndinokuitai vatsvene.
Iwo akhale oyera chifukwa amapereka nsembe kwa Mulungu wanu. Muziwaona kuti ndi oyera, popeza Ine Yehova amene ndimawayeretsa ndine woyera, nawonso akhale oyera.
9 “‘Kana mwanasikana womuprista akazvisvibisa nokuva chifeve, anonyadzisa baba vake; anofanira kupiswa mumoto.
“‘Ngati mwana wamkazi wa wansembe adziyipitsa pochita zachiwerewere, ndiye kuti iye akuchititsa manyazi abambo ake; mwanayo atenthedwe pa moto.
10 “‘Muprista mukuru, uyo ari pakati pamadzikoma ake navanunʼuna vake, akadirwa mafuta okuzodzwa pamusoro pake uye akagadzwa kuti apfeke nguo dzouprista, haafaniri kurega bvudzi rake risina kukamiwa, kana kubvarura nguo dzake.
“‘Munthu amene ali mkulu wa ansembe pakati pa abale ake, amene anamudzoza pomutsanulira mafuta pamutu pake, ndiponso amene anapatulidwa pomuveka zovala zaunsembe, asalekerere tsitsi lake kapena kungʼamba zovala zake kusonyeza kuti ali pa chisoni.
11 Haafaniri kupinda munzvimbo ine chitunha. Haafaniri kuzvisvibisa kunyange nokuda kwababa vake kana mai vake,
Asalowe mʼnyumba mmene muli munthu wakufa ngakhale womwalirayo ndi amayi ake kapena abambo ake.
12 kana kubva munzvimbo tsvene yaMwari kana kuisvibisa, nokuti akakumikidzwa namafuta okuzodza aMwari wake. Ndini Jehovha.
Asadzidetse potulukira kunja kwa malo opatulika popeza mafuta womupatula kukhala wansembe ali pamutu pake. Ine ndine Yehova.
13 “‘Mukadzi waanowana anofanira kunge ari mhandara izere.
“‘Iye akwatire namwali wosadziwa mwamuna.
14 Haafaniri kuwana chirikadzi, mukadzi akarambwa kana mukadzi akasvibiswa noufeve asi mhandara yakazara bedzi kubva kuvanhu vokwake,
Asakwatire mkazi wamasiye, mkazi wosudzulidwa, kapena mkazi wachiwerewere, koma akwatire namwali wosadziwa mwamuna pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake,
15 kuitira kuti arege kuzosvibisa zvizvarwa zvake pakati pavanhu vokwake. Ndini Jehovha ndinomuita mutsvene.’”
kuti mtundu wake usakhale wodetsedwa pakati pa abale popeza ndine Yehova, amene ndimamuyeretsa.’”
16 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
17 “Uti kuna Aroni, ‘Kuzvizvarwa zvichatevera hakuna mumwe wezvizvarwa zvako akaremara angaswedera pedyo kuzopa zvokudya zvaMwari wake.
“Muwuze Aaroni kuti, ‘Munthu aliyense mwa zidzukulu zake ku mibado yawo yonse ikubwera akakhala ndi chilema asabwere kudzapereka nsembe kwa Mulungu wake.
18 Hapana munhu ano urema hupi zvahwo angaswedera pedyo: hakuna bofu kana anokamhina kana akaremara;
Munthu aliyense wachilema motere: munthu wakhungu kapena wolumala miyendo, munthu wolumala nkhope kapena waziwalo zambiri,
19 hakuna munhu ane gumbo rakaremara kana ruoko rwakaremara,
munthu wa phazi lolumala kapena dzanja lolumala,
20 kana ane musana wakakombama, munhu akapfupikisa kana ano urema hwamaziso kana ane mamota kana ane mhezi, kana akakuvara manhu ake.
kapena munthu wokhota msana kapena wamfupi kwambiri, kapena wolumala maso, munthu wa nthenda yonyerenyetsa, kapena wamphere, kapenanso wophwanyika mavalo, sayenera kusendera pafupi.
21 Hapana wechizvarwa chaAroni akaremara neipi nzira angaswedera pedyo kuzopa zvipiriso zvinoitirwa Jehovha nomoto. Ano urema; haafaniri kuswedera pedyo kuzopa zvokudya zvaMwari wake.
Mdzukulu aliyense wa Aaroni wansembe, amene ali ndi chilema asadzayandikire kukapereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova. Popeza kuti ali ndi chilema, asayandikire kudzapereka nsembe ya chakudya kwa Mulungu wake.
22 Angadya hake zvokudya zvitsvene-tsvene zvaMwari wake, pamwe chete nezvokudya zvitsvene;
Koma iye angathe kudya chakudya chopatulika kwambiri chija, ngakhalenso chakudya chotsala pa nsembe zopatulika.
23 asi nokuda kwourema hwake, haafaniri kusvika pedyo nechidzitiro kana kusvika paaritari, agosvibisa nzvimbo yangu tsvene. Ndini Jehovha ndinovaita vatsvene.’”
Koma chifukwa cha kulumala kwake, sayenera kuyandikira katani kapena kufika pa guwa kuti angadetse malo anga wopatulika. Ine ndine Yehova, amene ndimawayeretsa.’”
24 Saka Mozisi akataura izvi kuna Aroni navanakomana vake nokuvaIsraeri vose.
Choncho Mose anawuza Aaroni ndi ana ake pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse zimenezi.
