“Yankhula ndi Aaroni kuti pamene uyimika nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri, nyalezo ziziyaka kutsogolo kwa choyikapo nyale.”
3 Aroni akaita saizvozvo; akamisa mwenje yakatarisa mberi kuchigadziko chomwenje, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.

Choyikapo nyalecho chinapangidwa motere: chinasulidwa kuchokera ku golide, kuyambira pa tsinde pake mpaka ku maluwa ake. Choyikapo nyalecho chinapangidwa monga momwe Yehova anaonetsera Mose.
5 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi:
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
6 “Bvisa vaRevhi pakati pavamwe vaIsraeri ugovanatsa.
“Tenga Alevi pakati pa Aisraeli ndipo uwayeretse.
7 Pakuvanatsa, unofanira kuita izvi: Sasa pamusoro pavo mvura yokuvachenesa; ipapo ugoita kuti vaveure miviri yavo yose vagosuka nguo dzavo, kuitira kuti vazvinatse.
Powayeretsa uchite izi: uwawaze madzi oyeretsa ndipo amete thupi lawo lonse ndi kuchapa zovala zawo kuti adziyeretse.
8 Uite kuti vatore hando duku nechipiriso chayo chezviyo choupfu hwakatsetseka hwakavhenganiswa namafuta, ipapo munofanira kutorazve imwe hando duku yechipiriso chechivi.
Atenge ngʼombe yayimuna yayingʼono ndi chopereka cha chakudya cha ufa wosalala wosakaniza ndi mafuta. Atengenso ngʼombe ina yayimuna, yayingʼono, ya chopereka chopepesera machimo.
9 Uuye navaRevhi mberi kweTende Rokusangana ugounganidza ungano yose yavaIsraeri.
Ubwere nawo Aleviwo kutsogolo kwa tenti ya msonkhano ndipo usonkhanitse gulu la Aisraeli.
10 Unofanira kuuya navaRevhi pamberi paJehovha, uye vaIsraeri vanofanira kuisa maoko avo pamusoro pavo.
Ubwere nawo pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo Aisraeli asanjike manja awo pa iwo.
11 Aroni anofanira kuisa vaRevhi pamberi paJehovha sechipiriso chokuninira chinobva kuvaIsraeri, kuitira kuti vagadzirire kuita basa raJehovha.
Aaroni apereke Alevi aja pamaso pa Yehova ngati chopereka choweyula kuchokera kwa Aisraeli kuti akhale okonzeka kugwira ntchito ya Yehova.
12 “Mushure mokunge vaRevhi vaisa maoko avo pamisoro yehando, ushandise imwe yacho sechipiriso chechivi kuna Jehovha uye imwe yacho sechipiriso chinopiswa, kuti uyananisire vaRevhi.
“Alevi akatsiriza kusanjika manja awo pa mitu ya ngʼombe zazimuna, imodzi ikhale ya nsembe yopepesera machimo ndipo inayo ikhale ya nsembe yopsereza ya kwa Yehova, kupepesera machimo a Alevi.
13 Uite kuti vaRevhi vamire pamberi paAroni navanakomana vake ipapo ugovakumikidza sechipiriso chokuninira kuna Jehovha.
Uyimiritse Aleviwo pamaso pa Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna ndipo uwapereke ngati nsembe yoweyula kwa Yehova.
14 Nenzira iyi unofanira kutsaura vaRevhi pakati pavamwe vaIsraeri, uye vaRevhi vachava vangu.
Pochita zimenezi mudzapatula Alevi pakati pa Aisraeli ndipo Aleviwo adzakhala anga.
15 “Mushure mokunge wanatsa vaRevhi nokuvakumikidza sechipiriso chokuninira, vanofanira kuuya kuzoita basa ravo paTende Rokusangana.
“Utatha kuyeretsa ndi kupereka Aleviwo monga nsembe yoweyula, apite kukagwira ntchito yawo ku tenti ya msonkhano.
16 Ivo ndivo vaIsraeri vachapiwa zvachose kwandiri. Ndakavatora kuti vave vangu pachinzvimbo chamatangwe, vanakomana vokutanga vomukadzi mumwe nomumwe womuIsraeri.
Iwo ndiwo Aisraeli amene aperekedwa kwathunthu kwa Ine. Ndawatenga kuti akhale anga mʼmalo mwa mwana wamwamuna aliyense woyamba kubadwa wa Mwisraeli aliyense wamkazi.
17 Chibereko chose chokutanga chechikono muIsraeri, angava munhu kana chipfuwo, ndechangu. Pandakauraya matangwe ose muIjipiti, ndakazvitsaurira ivo kwandiri.
Mwana aliyense wamwamuna woyamba kubadwa mu Israeli, kaya wa munthu kapena wa ziweto, ndi wanga. Pamene ndinakantha ana oyamba kubadwa ku Igupto, ndinawapatulira kwa Ine mwini.
18 Uye ndakatora vaRevhi panzvimbo yavanakomana veIsraeri vamatangwe.
Ndipo ndatenga Alevi mʼmalo mwa ana aamuna onse oyamba kubadwa mu Israeli.
19 PavaIsraeri vose, ndakapa vaRevhi sezvipo kuna Aroni navanakomana vake kuti vaite basa paTende Rokusangana vakamirira vaIsraeri uye kuti vayananisire vaIsraeri kuti varege kuurayiwa nedenda pavanenge vaswedera kunzvimbo tsvene.”
Mwa Aisraeli onse, ndapereka Alevi kuti akhale mphatso kwa Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna kugwira ntchito ya ku tenti ya msonkhano mʼmalo mwa Aisraeli onse kuti azikapereka nsembe yopepesera machimo, kuti mliri usadzaphe Aisraeli pamene ayandikira ku malo wopatulika.”
20 Mozisi, Aroni neungano yose yeIsraeri vakaitira vaRevhi sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
Mose, Aaroni pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la Israeli anachita kwa Alevi monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
21 VaRevhi vakazvinatsa vakasuka nguo dzavo. Ipapo Aroni akavaisa pamberi paJehovha sechipiriso chokuninira akavayananisira kuti vanatswe.
Alevi anadziyeretsa ndi kuchapa zovala zawo. Kenaka Aaroni anawapereka ngati nsembe yoweyula pamaso pa Yehova ndi kuchita nsembe yopepesera machimo yowayeretsa.
22 Shure kwaizvozvo, vaRevhi vakauya kuzoshanda basa ravo paTende Rokusangana vachitungamirirwa naAroni navanakomana vake. Vakaitira vaRevhi sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
Zitatha zimenezi, Alevi anapita kukagwira ntchito yawo ku tenti ya msonkhano motsogozedwa ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna. Anachita kwa Alevi monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
23 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
24 “Izvi ndizvo zvichaitwa navaRevhi: Vamwe vana makore makumi maviri namashanu kana anopfuura vachauya kuzoshanda basa paTende Rokusangana,
“Ntchito za Alevi ndi izi: Amuna a zaka 24 kapena kuposera pamenepa ndiye azibwera kudzagwira ntchito ku tenti ya msonkhano.
25 asi kana vasvika makore makumi mashanu, vanofanira kuregedza basa ravo uye varege kuzoshandazve.
Koma akakwana zaka makumi asanu, apume pa ntchito yawo ya tsiku ndi tsiku ndi kulekeratu kugwira ntchitoyo.
26 Vangabatsira havo hama dzavo kuita mabasa apaTende Rokusangana, asi ivo pachavo havafaniri kushanda basa. Zvino, izvi ndizvo zvaunofanira kurayira vaRevhi kuti vaite.”
Atha kuthandiza abale awo kugwira ntchito za ku tenti ya msonkhano, koma iwowo asamagwire ntchitoyo. Mmenemu ndimo ugawire ntchito yomwe azigwira Alevi.”
