ULevi

16 UJehova wakhuluma loMosi ngemva kokufa kwamadodana ka-Aroni amabili ayefe ngenxa yokusondela kuJehova ngendlela engafanelanga.+ 2 UJehova wathi kuMosi: “Tshela umfowenu u-Aroni ukuthi angaphongungena nje loba ngasiphi isikhathi endaweni engcwele,+ ngale kwekhetheni+ phambi kwesivalo sebhokisi ukuze angafi+ ngoba ngizabonakala phezu kwesivalo+ ngiseyezini.+

3 “Nanku okumele u-Aroni abuye lakho nxa ezongena endaweni engcwele, ijongosi lomnikelo wesono+ kanye lenqama yomnikelo wokutshiswa.+ 4 Kumele agqoke isigqoko selineni esingcwele+ lebhulugwe lelineni elifitshane+ avale umzimba wakhe, athandele ibhanti+ agqoke leqhiye+ ekhanda. Lezi yizigqoko ezingcwele.+ Kumele ageze+ abasezigqoka.

5 “Kumele athathe ebantwini bako-Israyeli+ amazinyane embuzi amabili amaduna abe ngumnikelo wesono lenqama eyodwa ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa.

6 “Ngemva kwalokho u-Aroni kumele alethe ijongosi libe ngumnikelo wakhe wesono, ahlawulele yena+ labendlu yakhe.

7 “Abesethatha imbuzi ezimbili azimise phambi kukaJehova emnyango wetende lokuhlangana. 8 U-Aroni uzakwenza inkatho ehlukanise imbuzi lezi ezimbili, enye imbuzi ibe ngekaJehova, enye ibe ngeye-Azazeli.* 9 U-Aroni uzaletha imbuzi ekhethwe ngenkatho+ ukuthi ibe ngekaJehova anikele ngayo ibe ngumnikelo wesono. 10 Kodwa imbuzi ekhethwe ngenkatho ukuthi ibe ngeye-Azazeli kumele ilethwe phambi kukaJehova iphila ukuze kuhlawulelwe ngayo izono. Ngemva kwalokho imbuzi ye-Azazeli kumele iqhutshwe iye enkangala.+

11 “U-Aroni uzaletha ijongosi lomnikelo wesono ukuze azihlawulele yena+ labendlu yakhe, abeselihlaba ijongosi lakhe lomnikelo wesono.

12 “Ngemva kwalokho uzathatha ukhezwana lokuphatha amalahle+ olugcwele amalahle avuthayo athethwe e-alithareni+ phambi kukaJehova kanye lempepha+ enukelelayo ecolekileyo egcwala izandla ezimbili, angene lakho ngale kwekhetheni.+ 13 Uzafaka-ke impepha emlilweni phambi kukaJehova+ njalo iyezi lentuthu yempepha lizasibekela isivalo+ esiphezu kwebhokisi loBufakazi+ ukuze angafi.

14 “Uzathatha elinye igazi lejongosi lelo+ alifafaze ngomunwe wakhe phambi kwesivalo eceleni elisempumalanga njalo elinye uzalifafaza ngomunwe wakhe kasikhombisa phambi kwesivalo.+

15 “Ngemva kwalokho uzahlaba imbuzi yomnikelo wesono yabantu bonke,+ abasengena legazi layo ngale kwekhetheni+ enze lokho akwenze ngegazi lejongosi, kumele afafaze igazi+ layo eduze kwesivalo laphambi kwaso.

16 “Kumele ahlawulele indawo engcwele ngenxa yokungcola kwabantu bako-Israyeli leziphambeko zabo kanye lezono zabo+ futhi lokhu yikho okumele akwenzele itende lokuhlangana eliphakathi kwabo ngenxa yokungcola kwabo.

17 “Akulamuntu okumele abe setendeni lokuhlangana ngesikhathi u-Aroni engena endaweni engcwele esiyahlawulela izono aze aphume. Uzazihlawulela yena, ahlawulele labendlu yakhe+ kanye lebandla lonke lako-Israyeli.+

18 “Ngemva kwalokho uzaphuma ayehlawulela i-alithare+ eliphambi kukaJehova. Uzathatha elinye igazi lenkunzi lelinye igazi lembuzi alininde empondweni ze-alithare emaceleni wonke. 19 Kanti njalo uzafafaza elinye igazi ngomunwe kasikhombisa phezu kwe-alithare, alihlambulule i-alithare njalo alingcwelise ekungcoleni kwabantu bako-Israyeli.

20 “Nxa eseqedile ukuhlawulela+ indawo engcwele letende lokuhlangana kanye le-alithare,+ uzaletha-ke imbuzi ephilayo.+ 21 U-Aroni uzabeka izandla zakhe zombili phezu kwekhanda lembuzi ephilayo, avume phezu kwayo wonke amacala abantu bako-Israyeli leziphambeko zabo zonke kanye lazo zonke izono zabo njalo uzazifaka ekhanda layo,+ abaseyixotshela enkangala iqhutshwa ngumuntu onikwe lowomsebenzi. 22 Kufanele aqhube imbuzi leyo njalo kumele ithwale wonke amacala abo+ iye enkangala.+

23 “Ngemva kwalokho u-Aroni uzangena etendeni lokuhlangana, akhiphe izigqoko zelineni abezigqokile ngesikhathi engena endaweni engcwele futhi uzazibeka phansi khonapho. 24 Kumele ageze umzimba ngamanzi+ endaweni engcwele agqoke izigqoko zakhe+ zomsebenzi wobuphristi, abesephuma anikele umnikelo wakhe wokutshiswa+ lomnikelo wokutshiswa+ wabantu bonke, azihlawulele yena njalo ahlawulele labantu bonke.+ 25 Uzatshisa amafutha omnikelo wesono athunqe phezu kwe-alithare.

26 “Indoda eqhube imbuzi ye-Azazeli+ iyixotshela enkangala kumele iwatshe izigqoko zayo njalo igeze ngamanzi, ibisingena-ke ezihonqweni.

27 “Ijongosi lomnikelo wesono lembuzi yomnikelo wesono, okuthethwe igazi lakho langeniswa endaweni engcwele ukuze kuhlawulelwe ngalo izono, kumele kuthathwe kuhanjiswe phandle kwezihonqo njalo izikhumba zakho lenyama yakho lomswane wakho kufanele kutshiswe ngomlilo.+ 28 Ozatshisa izinto lezi kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe njalo ageze ngamanzi, ngemva kwalokho usengangena ezihonqweni.

29 “Lo kuzakuba ngumlayo ozahlala ukhona kini: Mhlaka 10 ngenyanga yesikhombisa kumele lizihlukuluze* njalo akulamuntu okumele enze loba yiwuphi umsebenzi+ kungelani lokuthi yisizalwane kumbe ngowesinye isizwe ohlala phakathi kwenu. 30 Ngalelilanga lizahlawulelwa+ ukuze kuthiwe lihlanzekile. Lizahlanzeka kuzo zonke izono zenu phambi kukaJehova.+ 31 Leli lisabatha lokuphumula okupheleleyo kini futhi kumele lizihlukuluze.+ Lo ngumlayo ozahlala ukhona.

32 “Umphristi ogcotshiweyo+ obekwe ukuthi abe ngumphristi+ esikhundleni sikayise,+ nguye ozanikela imihlatshelo yokuhlawulelwa njalo uzagqoka izigqoko zelineni,+ izigqoko ezingcwele.+ 33 Uzahlawulela indawo engcwele+ letende lokuhlangana+ kanye le-alithare+ njalo uzahlawulela abaphristi kanye lalo lonke ibandla.+ 34 Lo kuzakuba ngumlayo ozahlala ukhona+ ukuze kanye ngomnyaka+ abantu bako-Israyeli bahlawulelwe ngenxa yazo zonke izono zabo.”

Ngakho u-Aroni wenza khona kanye uJehova ayekutshilo kuMosi.
