4 Mose 18

1 Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Wo, wo mmammarima ne wʼabusuafoɔ a wɔfiri Lewi abusuakuo mu no, mfomsoɔ biara a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ no ho asodie bɛda mo so. Na sɛ biribi ankɔ so yie wɔ asɔfodwuma no mu a, wɔbɛbisa wo ne wo mmammarima ho asɛm.

Yehova anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Iwe, ana ako aamuna ndi banja la abambo ako mudzasenza tchimo la malo wopatulika, koma iwe ndi ana ako aamuna okha mudzasenza tchimo lokhudza unsembe wanu.

2 Fa wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuo no mu ma wɔmmoa wo mmammarima wɔ dwumadie kronkron no a wɔyɛ no Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim.

Ubweretse Alevi, abale ako, kuchokera ku fuko la abambo ako kuti azikhala ndi iwe ndi kumakuthandiza pamodzi ndi ana ako amuna pamene mukutumikira mu tenti ya umboni.

3 Ɛsɛ sɛ Lewifoɔ no hwɛ yie na wɔansɔ biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron wɔ afɔrebukyia no so mu. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, mɛsɛe wo ne wɔn.

Iwowo azikutumikirani ndipo azichita ntchito zonse za ku tenti, koma asamafike pafupi ndi zipangizo za ku malo opatulika kapena guwa lansembe, kuopa kuti iwo ndi inu mungafe.

4 Obiara a ɔmfiri Lewi abusua mu nni ho kwan sɛ ɔboa wo ɛkwan biara so.

Azikhala ndi inu ndipo azisamalira ntchito yonse ya mu tenti ya msonkhano koma munthu wina aliyense wapadera sayenera kufika pafupi nanu.

5 “Kae sɛ asɔfoɔ no nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi dwuma a ɛho te wɔ kronkronbea hɔ ne afɔrebukyia no so. Sɛ wodi saa mmara yi so a, Onyankopɔn abufuo no remma Israelfoɔ no so bio sɛ wɔabu mmara yi so.

“Inuyo muzisamalira malo wopatulika ndi guwa lansembe, kuti ukali wa Yehova usawagwerenso Aisraeli.

6 Meka bio sɛ, Lewifoɔ a wɔyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ no na wɔmmoa wo wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu dwumadie no. Wɔyɛ akyɛdeɛ firi Awurade hɔ ma wo.

Ine mwini ndasankha Alevi, abale ako, pakati pa Aisraeli ngati mphatso yako ndipo aperekedwa kwa Yehova kuti azigwira ntchito ku tenti ya msonkhano.

7 Nanso, wo ne wo mmammarima asɔfoɔ no ankasa na mobɛdi dwuma a ɛho te wɔ afɔrebukyia no so ne deɛ ɛwɔ ntwamutam no mu, na asɔfodwuma no deɛ, ɛyɛ mo ara mo dom akyɛdeɛ dwumadie. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛdi dwuma no bi no bɛwu.”

Koma iwe wekha ndi ana ako aamuna muzitumikira ngati ansembe ndi zina zonse zokhudza pa guwa lansembe ndi za mʼkati mwa malo wopatulika kwambiri. Ndikukupatsani mphatso ya utumiki wa unsembe. Aliyense woyandikira malo wopatulika ayenera kuphedwa.

8 Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ: “Mede akyɛdeɛ a nkurɔfoɔ de abrɛ Awurade no nyinaa ama asɔfoɔ no; saa akyɛdeɛ yi a wɔhim no Awurade anim nam so de kyɛɛ no wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim no no, daa daa mmara enti, ɛyɛ mo ne mo mmammarima dea.

“Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Aaroni, ona, Ine mwini ndikukuyika kuti ukhale woyangʼanira zopereka zobwera kwa Ine; zopereka zonse zopatulika za Aisraeli zimene amapereka kwa ine ndi kuzipereka kwa iwe ndi ana ako aamuna ngati gawo lanu la nthawi zonse.

9 Aduane afɔrebɔ, bɔne afɔrebɔ ne afɔbuo afɔrebɔ nyinaa yɛ mo dea, agye emu bi a wɔhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia so de kyɛ Awurade no nko ara. Yeinom nyinaa yɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara.

Uzilandiranso gawo la zopereka zopatulika kwambiri zomwe sizinawotchedwe pa moto. Kuchokera pa mphatso zonse zimene amabweretsa kwa Ine ngati zopatulika kwambiri, nsembe zachakudya kapena nsembe zopepesera machimo, gawo limenelo ndi lako ndi ana ako aamuna.

10 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi no baabi a ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara. Na mmarima nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdie.

Muzidya zimenezo ngati zinthu zopatulika kwambiri; mwamuna aliyense adyeko. Uzitenge kukhala zopatulika.

11 “Akyɛdeɛ afoforɔ a wɔnam him a wɔbɛhim wɔ afɔrebukyia no so de bɛkyɛ me no yɛ wo ne wʼabusuafoɔ, wo mmammarima ne wo mmammaa nyinaa dea. Na wʼabusuafoɔ nyinaa tumi di bi, agye obi a saa ɛberɛ no na ne ho nte.

“Izinso ndi zako: chilichonse chopatulidwa kuchokera ku mphatso zoweyula za Aisraeli ndapereka kwa iwe ndi ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi ngati gawo lako la nthawi zonse. Aliyense wa mʼnyumba mwako amene ali woyeretsedwa monga mwa mwambo angathe kudyako.

12 “Otwa berɛ a ɛdi ɛkan mu akyɛdeɛ a nnipa no de bɛba sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde rebrɛ Awurade no a ɛyɛ ngo pa, bobesa pa, aburoo ne afudeɛ biara no, ne nyinaa yɛ mo dea.

“Ndikukupatsani mafuta onse abwino kwambiri a olivi ndi vinyo yense watsopano wabwino kwambiri ndi tirigu yense zomwe Aisraeli amapereka kwa Yehova ngati zipatso zoyamba pa zokolola zawo.

13 Sɛ mo abusuafoɔ hwɛ na wɔn ho te a, wɔtumi di yeinom nyinaa bi.

Zipatso zonse zoyamba kucha za mʼdziko lawo zomwe amapereka kwa Yehova zidzakhala zako. Aliyense mʼnyumba mwako amene ali woyeretsedwa angathe kudyako.

14 “Deɛ wɔde bɛma Awurade biara yɛ mo dea.

“Chilichonse mu Israeli chomwe chapatulidwira Yehova ndi chako.

15 Israelfoɔ abakan ne wɔn mmoa nyinaa abakan a wɔde brɛ Awurade yɛ mo dea. Nanso mmoa a memmaa mo ɛkwan sɛ wɔnwe wɔn nam no deɛ, monnnye wɔn abakan. Na mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtua sika kakra de si abakan biara anan.

Chilichonse choyamba kubadwa kwa munthu kaya nyama, chomwe chaperekedwa kwa Yehova ndi chako. Koma uyenera kuwombola mwana aliyense wamwamuna ndi mwana aliyense woyamba wa nyama zodetsedwa.

16 Sɛ abakan no di bosome a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ɔgye boɔ a ɛyɛ dwetɛ gram aduonum nsia sɛdeɛ kronkronbea hɔ nkariboɔ a ɛyɛ gram dubaako ne nkyemu anum mu baako no teɛ no ba.

Pamene zili ndi mwezi umodzi wa kubadwa, uziwombole pa mtengo wowombolera wa ndalama zisanu zasiliva, monga mwa ndalama za ku malo wopatulika.

17 “Nanso anantwie, nnwan ne mpɔnkye mmakan deɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔgye wɔn. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Wɔn mogya na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde pete afɔrebukyia no so na wɔhye wɔn sradeɛ no sɛ ogya afɔdeɛ. Ɛyɛ adeɛ a Awurade ani sɔ.

“Koma usawombole ana oyamba kubadwa a ngʼombe, nkhosa kapena mbuzi. Iwo ndi opatulika. Uwaze magazi a nyamazi pa guwa lansembe ndi kutentha mafuta ake ngati nsembe yotentha ndi moto kuti likhale fungo lokoma kwa Yehova.

18 Saa mmoa yi nyinaa ɛnam bɛyɛ mo dea. Ne yan ne ne srɛ nifa a wɔbɛhim no afɔrebukyia no anim de akyerɛ sɛ wɔde ama Awurade no nso, mobɛfa.

Nyama yake ikhale yanu monga momwe chimakhalira chidale cha nsembe yoweyula ndi ntchafu za miyendo ya kumanja, zonsezi ndi zako.

19 Mede afɔrebɔdeɛ a Israelfoɔ de bɛbrɛ Awurade a wɔbɛhim no no nyinaa ma mo ne mo abusuafoɔ. Mo ne mo abusuafoɔ mfa na monni. Yei yɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛda mo ne Awurade ne mo asefoɔ ntam daa nyinaa.”

Zonse zimene mwazichotsa ku zopereka zoyera zomwe Aisraeli anapereka kwa Yehova ndazipereka kwa iwe ndi ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi ngati gawo lanu nthawi zonse. Ili ndi pangano losatha la mchere pamaso pa Yehova kwa iwe ndi ana ako.”

20 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Mo asɔfoɔ no nso, ɛnsɛ sɛ mopɛ agyapadeɛ ne akatua foforɔ biara. Na me ara na me ho hia mo.

Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Aaroni, “Iweyo sudzakhala ndi cholowa mʼdziko lawo, ndiponso sudzalandira gawo lililonse pakati pawo. Ine ndine gawo lako ndi cholowa chako pakati pa Aisraeli.

21 “Na Lewi abusuakuo deɛ, wɔfiri Israel asase so ho adwumadeɛ ntotosoɔ dudu no mu na ɛbɛtua wɔn ka.

“Taonani, ndawapatsa Alevi chakhumi chonse mu Israeli ngati cholowa chawo chifukwa cha ntchito ya ku tenti ya msonkhano.

22 Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekorɔ, Israelfoɔ a wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ no nni ho kwan sɛ wɔkɔ kronkron mu kronkron hɔ. Wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛbu wɔn fɔ na wɔawuwu.

Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo Aisraeli asamapite pafupi ndi tenti ya msonkhano. Ngati atero adzasenza zotsatira za tchimo lawo ndipo adzafa.

23 Lewifoɔ no nko ara na wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ hɔ. Sɛ wɔanyɛ a, wɔbɛbu wɔn fɔ. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛda hɔ afebɔɔ sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ Lewini biara nya agyapadeɛ wɔ Israelman mu.

Alevi ndi amene azidzagwira ntchito ya ku tenti ya msonkhano ndipo adzalangidwa chilichonse chikalakwika. Ili ndi lamulo losatha kwa mibado yawo yonse. Iwowo sadzalandira cholowa pakati pa Aisraeli.

24 Mmom, ntotosoɔ dudu a ɔmanfoɔ de ba ma wɔhim no afɔrebukyia no anim de ma Awurade no na ɛsɛ sɛ Lewifoɔ no fa. Yei yɛ agyapadeɛ, enti ɛho nhia sɛ wɔpɛ agyapadeɛ foforɔ bi bio.”

Mʼmalo mwake, ndikuwapatsa Aleviwo chakhumi ngati cholowa chawo chimene Aisraeli amapereka kwa Yehova. Nʼchifukwa chake zokhudza iwo ndinati: ‘Sadzakhala ndi cholowa pakati pa Aisraeli.’”

25 Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

Yehova anati kwa Mose,

26 “Ka kyerɛ Lewifoɔ no sɛ, ntotosoɔ dudu a wɔnya no, wɔmfa nkyɛmu edu mu baako mma Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ ntotosoɔ dudu mu ntotosoɔ dudu a wɔnam him a wɔbɛhim no afɔrebukyia no anim de ama Awurade no so.

“Yankhula ndi Alevi ndi kunena nawo kuti, ‘Pamene mulandira chakhumi kuchoka kwa Aisraeli chimene ndimakupatsani ngati cholowa chanu, muyenera kupereka chakhumi cha choperekacho kwa Yehova.

27 Na Awurade bɛgye no sɛ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a ɛyɛ aduane ne nsã a mode rema no sɛdeɛ ɛfiri mo ara mo agyapadeɛ mu.

Chopereka chanucho chidzawerengedwa kwa inu ngati tirigu wochokera kopunthira kapena ngati mphesa zopsinya kuchokera kopsinyira mphesa.

28 Saa ntotosoɔ dudu mu ntotosoɔ dudu yi a mobɛnya yi mu na mode bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron sɛ Awurade kyɛfa.

Mwa njira imeneyi inunso muzipereka chopereka kwa Yehova kuchokera ku chakhumi chanu chilichonse chimene mumalandira kuchokera kwa Aisraeli. Kuchokera ku chakhumicho muziperekako gawo la Yehova kwa Aaroni, wansembe.

29 Biribiara a wɔde bɛma mo no, momfa emu deɛ ɛyɛ pa ara na ɛyɛ kronkron no mma Awurade.

Muyenera kupereka monga gawo la Yehova magawo abwino kwambiri ndi opatulika a chilichonse chimene chapatsidwa kwa inu.’

30 “Na wɔbɛfa no sɛ deɛ ɛfiri mo ankasa mo ayuporobea ne mo nsakyibea hɔ.

“Nena kwa Alevi: ‘Pamene mupereka gawo labwino lopambana zonse, gawo limenelo lidzawerengedwa kwa inu ngati lochokera popunthira tirigu kapenanso kopsinyira mphesa.

31 Aaron ne ne mmammarima ne nʼabusuafoɔ bɛtumi adi no wɔ wɔn fie anaa baabiara a wɔpɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ wɔn adwuma a wɔyɛ no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu no ho akatua.

Inu ndi a pa banja panu mungathe kudyera zimenezi paliponse chifukwa ndi malipiro a ntchito yanu ya ku tenti ya msonkhano.

32 Mo Lewifoɔ no, sɛ mogye Awurade ntotosoɔ dudu no na mode emu nkyɛmu edu a ɛsɔ ani mu baako ma asɔfoɔ no a, monni afɔbuo biara. Nanso, monhwɛ yie na akyɛdeɛ kronkron a Israelfoɔ de aba no, moammu no ade teta bi. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, mobɛwuwu.”

Popereka gawo labwino kwambirilo simudzapezeka olakwa. Mukatero simudzadetsa zopereka zoyera za Aisraeli, ndipo simudzafa.’”
