28 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai, ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo e kau leʻo matapā, mo e kau hiva, mo e kau Netenimi, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻa nau fakamavae ʻakinautolu mei he kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ki he fono ʻae ʻOtua, mo honau ngaahi uaifi, mo honau ngaahi foha, mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ʻae ʻilo, mo e loto poto;

Inengi labantu, abaphristi, abaLevi, abalindimasango, abahlabeleli, lezinceku zethempeli labo bonke abazehlukanisayo ebantwini bezizwe ngenxa yoMthetho kaNkulunkulu, kanye lamakhosikazi abo lamadodana lamadodakazi abo ayeseqedisisa

29 Naʻa nau kau mo honau ngaahi kāinga, ko honau houʻeiki, ʻonau fai ʻae tuki moʻoni, pea mo e fuakava, ke ʻalu ʻi he fono ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻia Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, ke tokanga mo fai ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻEiki, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni;

bonke bahlanganyela labafowabo ababeyizikhulu, ukuzibopha ngesiqalekiso langesifungo ukuwulandela uMthetho kaNkulunkulu owanikwa ngoMosi inceku kaNkulunkulu lokulalela kuhle yonke imilayo, leziqondiso lezimemezelo zikaThixo iNkosi yethu.

30 Pea ke ʻoua naʻa tau foaki hotau ngaahi ʻofefine ki he kakai ʻoe fonua; pea ʻoua naʻa tau ʻomi honau ngaahi ʻofefine moʻo hotau ngaahi foha:

Sithembisa ukuthi kasiyikwendisa amadodakazi ethu ebantwini esakhelene labo loba sithathele amadodana ethu amadodakazi abo.

31 Pea kapau ʻe ʻomi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ha meʻa fakatau pē ha meʻakai ʻi he ʻaho tapu ke fakatau, pea ʻoua naʻa tau fakatau ia ʻi he ʻaho tapu, he ko e ʻaho māʻoniʻoni: pea ke tau tuku hono fitu ʻoe taʻu, mo e ʻeke totongi kotoa pē [ʻi ai].

Nxa labo esakhelene labo beletha impahla kumbe amabele okuthengiswa ngeSabatha, kasiyikuthenga kubo ngeSabatha loba ngaliphi ilanga elingcwele. Kuwo wonke umnyaka wesikhombisa sizayekela amasimu ethu alaluke njalo sizacitsha zonke izikwelede.

32 Pea naʻa tau fai haʻamau fono, ke fakamoʻua ʻakimautolu ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ʻaki hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe sikeli maʻae tauhi ʻoe fale ʻo homau ʻOtua;

Siyazethesa umlandu wokugcwalisa umlayo wokupha okwesithathu kweshekeli ngomnyaka okomsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu:

33 Koeʻuhi ko e mā ʻoe ʻao, pea ki he feilaulau meʻakai fai maʻu pe, pea mo e feilaulau tutu fai maʻu pe, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻu efiafi, pea ki he ngaahi kātoanga kuo kotofa pea mo e ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, pea maʻae ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei maʻa ʻIsileli, pea ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua.

okwesinkwa esibekwe etafuleni; okomnikelo wenjayelo owamabele lowokutshiswa; okweminikelo yamaSabatha, eyamadili okuThwasa kweNyanga leminye imikhosi emisiweyo; eyiminikelo engcwele, iminikelo yesono yokubuyisana eka-Israyeli; leyayo yonke imilandu yendlini kaNkulunkulu.

34 Pea naʻa tau fai ʻae talotalo ki he kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo e kakai, ki he feilaulau ʻoe fefie, ke fetuku ia ki he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi fale ʻo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kuo kotofa ʻi he taʻu tukufakaholo, ke tutu ʻi he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono:

Thina abaphristi, abaLevi labantu sesenze inkatho ukubona ukuthi yiphi imuli emele ilethe inkuni ngasiphi isikhathi endlini kaNkulunkulu ezokutshiswa e-alithareni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni.

35 Pea ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻuluaki fua ʻoe ngoue, mo e ʻuluaki fua ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē, ʻi he taʻu hokohoko pe, ki he fale ʻo Sihova:

Njalo sizethesa umlandu wokuletha endlini kaThixo umnyaka ngomnyaka izithelo zakuqala zamabele ethu lokwezithelo zonke zezihlahla.

36 Pea mo e ʻuluaki tupu ʻo hotau ngaahi foha, pea mo ʻetau fanga manu lalahi, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono, mo e ʻuluaki tupu ʻo ʻetau ngaahi fanga manu siʻi mo e fanga [sipi], ke ʻomi ki he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua, ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua:

Njengoba kulotshiwe njalo eMthethweni, sizaletha amazibulo amadodana ethu, awenkomo zethu, lawemihlambi yethu yezimvu endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu, kubaphristi abasebenza khona.

37 Pea ke tau ʻomi hono ʻuluaki fua ʻo ʻetau mā [kuo natu], mo ʻetau ngaahi meʻa ʻatu, mo e fua ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau kehekehe kotoa pē, ʻoe uaine mo e lolo, ki he kau taulaʻeiki, ki he ngaahi potuʻi fale ʻi he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua: mo e ngaahi tāuvao ʻo ʻetau ngoue ki he kau Livai, ke maʻu ai ʻe he kau Livai ko ia ʻae ngaahi tāuvao ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo hotau potu kakai.

Futhi njalo, sizaletha okuya eziphaleni zasendlini kaNkulunkulu, kubaphristi, okokuqala kwempuphu yethu, okweminikelo yamabele ethu, izithelo zezihlahla zethu zonke lewayini lethu elitsha kanye lamafutha. Njalo sizaletha okwetshumi okwamabele ethu kubaLevi, ngoba ngabaLevi abaqoqa okwetshumi kuwo wonke amadolobho esisebenza kuwo.

38 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ko e foha ʻo ʻElone ʻe kau ia mo e kau Livai ʻi he maʻu ʻe he kau Livai ʻae ngaahi tāuvao: pea ʻe fetuku hake ʻe he kau Livai hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe tāuvao ki he fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi potu fale ki loto ʻi he fale koloa.

Umphristi odabuka ku-Aroni kaphelekezele abaLevi besamukela okwetshumi, njalo abaLevi kumele balethe okwetshumi okomnikelo wetshumi kuze endlini kaNkulunkulu, eziphaleni eziqondane lesikhwama.

39 He ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo e fānau ʻa Livai te nau ʻomi ʻae feilaulau ʻoe uite, mo e uaine foʻou, mo e lolo, ki he ngaahi fale ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe faletapu, mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku tauhi, mo e kau leʻo matapā, mo e kau hiva: pea ʻe ʻikai te tau liʻaki ʻae fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua.

Abantu bako-Israyeli, kanye labaLevi, bamele balethe iminikelo yabo yamabele, iwayini elitsha lamafutha eziphaleni lapho okugcinwa khona impahla zendlu engcwele, njalo lapho okuhlala khona abaphristi abasebenzayo labalindimasango labahlabeleli. “Kasiyikuyidela indlu kaNkulunkulu.”
