4 Mose 8
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 “Ka kyerɛ Aaron sɛ, sɛ ɔsɔ nkanea nson a ɛwɔ kaneadua no so no a, ɔnsɔ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɛbɛto ne hann no akɔ nʼanim.”
Tshono kuAroni uthi kuye: Nxa ulumathisa izibane, izibane eziyisikhombisa zizakhanyisa ngaphambili phambi koluthi lwesibane.
3 Enti, Aaron yɛɛ saa.
UAroni wasesenza njalo; ngaphambili phambi koluthi lwesibane walumathisa izibane zalo, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
4 Kaneadua no ne nhwiren a wɔde asiesie nʼase ne ne mman no nyinaa, sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro na wɔde yɛeɛ. Wɔyɛɛ no sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ wɔnyɛ no no.
Lalo umsebenzi woluthi lwesibane wawungowegolide elikhandiweyo, kuze kube sesidindini salo kuze kuye emalubeni alo lwalukhandiwe; njengesifanekiso iNkosi eyamtshengisa sona uMozisi, walwenza njalo uluthi lwesibane.
5 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
6 “Yi Lewifoɔ no firi Israelfoɔ no mu na te wɔn ho.
Khupha amaLevi phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, uwahlambulule;
7 Fa ahodwira nsuo pete wɔn so. Ma wɔnyi wɔn ho nwi nyinaa, na wɔnsi wɔn nneɛma nyinaa, afei wɔn ho bɛte.
wenze ngokunjalo kuwo ukuwahlambulula; ufafaze phezu kwawo amanzi okuhlambulula, njalo adlulise impuco emzimbeni wawo wonke, awatshe izigqoko zawo, azihlambulule.
8 Afei, ma wɔmfa nantwinini ba ne aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu a wɔde ngo afra a nantwinini ba baako ka ho a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ mmra.
Athathe ijongosi ithole lenkomo, lomnikelo walo wokudla, impuphu ecolekileyo ixubene lamafutha, uthathe lelinye ijongosi ithole lenkomo, libe ngumnikelo wesono.
9 Afei, frɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa hyia na fa Lewifoɔ no bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano.
Njalo uzasondeza amaLevi phambi kwethente lenhlangano, ubuthanise inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
10 Ɛhɔ, wɔ Awurade anim, mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua mmusuakuo no ano no de wɔn nsa bɛgu wɔn so
Usondeze amaLevi phambi kweNkosi, njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazabeka izandla zabo phezu kwamaLevi,
11 na Aaron ayɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi sɛ ɔde wɔn rema Awurade sɛ akyɛdeɛ a ɛfiri Israel manfoɔ nyinaa nkyɛn. Lewifoɔ bɛsi nnipa no nyinaa anan asom Awurade.
loAroni azunguze amaLevi, abe ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi, evela ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ukuze abe ngasebenza umsebenzi weNkosi.
12 “Afei, Lewifoɔ mpanimfoɔ no de wɔn nsa bɛgu nantwie mma no apampam na wɔde wɔn ama Awurade. Wɔde baako bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na wɔde baako nso abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Lewifoɔ no.
AmaLevi azabeka-ke izandla zawo enhlokweni yamajongosi; unikele elinye libe ngumnikelo wesono, lelinye libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini, ukuwenzela amaLevi inhlawulo yokuthula.
13 Afei, wɔde Lewifoɔ no bɛma Aaron ne ne mma te sɛ deɛ wɔde afɔrebɔdeɛ biara fa asɔfoɔ so de ma Awurade no.
Njalo uzawamisa amaLevi phambi kukaAroni laphambi kwamadodana akhe, uwazunguze abe ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa eNkosini.
14 Monam saa ɛkwan yi so bɛyi Lewifoɔ no afiri Israelfoɔ no mu ama me, na wɔayɛ me dea.
Ngakho uzakwehlukanisa amaLevi uwakhuphe phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuthi amaLevi abe ngawami.
15 “Sɛ mote wɔn ho na mofa saa ɛkwan yi so de wɔn ma me a, afei, wɔbɛdi ahyɛnfirie wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu, adi wɔn dwuma.
Lemva kwalokho amaLevi azangena ukukhonza ethenteni lenhlangano. Njalo uzawahlambulula, uwazunguze abe ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa.
16 Israelfoɔ mu nyinaa, wɔn na wɔyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ, na magye wɔn atom asi Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa anan. Mafa Lewifoɔ no sɛ wɔn ananmusifoɔ.
Ngoba wona aphiwe lokuphiwa mina ephuma phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Esikhundleni salokho okuvula sonke isizalo, izibulo laye wonke wabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngizithathele wona.
17 Ɛfiri sɛ, Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa yɛ me dea—nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa. Anadwo a mekumm Misraimfoɔ mmakan nyinaa no ara na mefaa wɔn de wɔn yɛɛ me nkurɔfoɔ.
Ngoba lonke izibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli ngelami, phakathi kwabantu laphakathi kwezifuyo. Ngosuku engatshaya ngalo lonke izibulo elizweni leGibhithe ngazingcwelisela wona;
18 Mafa Lewifoɔ no asi Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa anan mu.
sengithethe amaLevi esikhundleni sawo wonke amazibulo phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
19 Na mede Lewifoɔ no bɛkyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima. Lewifoɔ no na wɔbɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu nnwuma kronkron a anka ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ no na wɔyɛ, na wɔn na wɔbɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama nkurɔfoɔ de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama wɔn. Ɔyaredɔm biara renka Israelfoɔ no, nanso sɛ nnipa afoforɔ biara kɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu a, wɔbɛyareyare.”
Ngiwanikile amaLevi njengabaphiweyo kuAroni lakumadodana akhe, ephuma phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukukhonza inkonzo yabantwana bakoIsrayeli ethenteni lenhlangano, lokwenzela abantwana bakoIsrayeli inhlawulo yokuthula, ukuze kungabi lenhlupheko phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, nxa abantwana bakoIsrayeli besondela endlini engcwele.
20 Enti, Mose ne Aaron ne Israelfoɔ no nyinaa faa ɛkwan a Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose no so pɛpɛɛpɛ de Lewifoɔ no maa Awurade.
UMozisi loAroni lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza kumaLevi njengakho konke iNkosi eyakulaya uMozisi mayelana lamaLevi; benza njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli kuwo.
21 Lewifoɔ no dwiraa wɔn ho, sii wɔn nneɛma ɛnna Aaron de wɔn hyɛɛ Awurade nsa. Ɔyɛɛ wɔn ho mpatadwuma de tee wɔn ho.
LamaLevi azihlambulula, ahlamba izembatho zawo; uAroni wasewazunguza aba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi; loAroni wawenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ukuwahlambulula.
22 Ɛno akyi, wɔkɔɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu sɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima aboafoɔ. Wɔyɛɛ biribiara sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
Lemva kwalokho amaLevi angena ukwenza inkonzo yawo ethenteni lenhlangano phambi kukaAroni laphambi kwamadodana akhe. Njengalokhu iNkosi yamlaya uMozisi ngamaLevi, benza njalo kuwo.
23 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
24 “Sɛ Lewini biara di mfeɛ aduonu enum a, ma no mfiri aseɛ nsom wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu,
Yilokhu okuqondene lamaLevi: Kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu langaphezulu azangena ukukhonza inkonzo, enkonzweni yethente lenhlangano.
25 na wɔdi mfeɛ aduonum a, wɔapɔn wɔn ho.
Njalo kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu azaphuma enkonzweni yenkonzo, angabe esasebenza;
26 Sɛ wɔpɔn wɔn ho a, wɔtumi di dwuma nketenkete wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ. Wɔrenyɛ nnwuma a daa ɛbɛgye wɔn berɛ.”
kodwa azasiza abazalwane bawo ethenteni lenhlangano ukugcina umlindo, kodwa angasebenzi umsebenzi. Uzakwenza njalo kumaLevi kumfanelo zawo.
