Levithikhusi
10 Ngemuva kwaloko, emadvodzana a-Aroni, boNadabi na-Abihu,+ batsatsa titja tabo tekufaka emalahle bafaka umlilo kanye nemphepho+ kuto. Bashisa imphepho ngemlilo longakavumeleki embikwaJehova,+ futsi Nkulunkulu bekangakabatjeli kutsi bayishise. 2 Ngako kwehla umlilo uvela kuJehova wababulala,+ bafela embikwaJehova.+ 3 Mosi wase utsi ku-Aroni: “Naku Jehova lakushito: ‘Ngitawungcweliswa kulabo labasedvute nami,+ ngikhatinyuliswe embikwabo bonkhe bantfu.’” Aroni wathula.
4 Mosi wabita Mishayeli na-Elisafani, labangemadvodzana a-Uziyeli,+ babe lomncane wa-Aroni. Watsi kubo: “Wotani nitewutsatsa naba bomnakenu lapha embikwendzawo lengcwele nibayise ngephandle kwalendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo.” 5 Beta bawatsatsa lamadvodzana a-Aroni asegcoke tingubo tawo, bawayisa ngephandle kwendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo, njengobe nje Mosi abebatjelile.
6 Mosi wabese utsi ku-Aroni nakulalamanye emadvodzana akhe, bo-Eliyezeri na-Ithamari: “Ningatiyekeli tinhloko tenu tihlale tingakanakwa, ningatidzabuli netingubo tenu+ kuze ningafi, naNkulunkulu angatewusitfukutselela sonkhe lesive. Sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli lesibanakenu sitawubalilela laba Jehova lababulele ngemlilo. 7 Nibohlala nisedvute nemnyango welithende lekuhlangana, ngaphandle kwaloko nitawufa, ngobe Jehova unigcobe ngemafutsa.”+ Ngako benta njengobe Mosi abatjelile.
8 Jehova wabese utsi ku-Aroni: 9 “Wena nemadvodzana akho ningabolinatsa liwayini nobe letinye tinatfo letidzakanako nanita kulelithende lekuhlangana,+ kuze ningafi. Lona ngumtsetfo lotawuchubeka ulandzelwa ngito tonkhe titukulwane tenu. 10 Loku kutawukwenta kutsi kube nemehluko emkhatsini wentfo lengcwele nalengasingcwele, nasemkhatsini wentfo lehlantekile nalengakahlanteki,+ 11 kuze nifundzise ema-Israyeli yonkhe lemitsetfo Jehova lawatjele yona asebentisa Mosi.”+
12 Mosi wakhuluma na-Aroni nemadvodzana akhe labesele, bo-Eliyezeri na-Ithamari, watsi: “Eminikelweni leyentiwe ngemlilo kuJehova, tsatsani loko lokusele emnikelweni walokutinhlavu, nente ngako sinkhwa lesite imvubelo bese nisidlela edvute neli-al’thare,+ ngobe kungcwele ngelizinga leliphakeme.+ 13 Kufanele nikudlele endzaweni lengcwele,+ ngobe kusabelo sakho nesemadvodzana akho lesitsetfwe eminikelweni leyentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova. Nguloku-ke lengitjelwe kona. 14 Wena nemadvodzana nemadvodzakati+ akho kufanele niphindze nidle nemganga wemnikelo lojikitiswako kanye nemlente loyincenye lengcwele,+ futsi loku nikudlele endzaweni lehlantekile, ngobe kusabelo sakho nesemadvodzana akho lesitsetfwe emihlatjelweni yekuthula leletfwa ngema-Israyeli. 15 Nakuletfwa iminikelo yemanoni leyentiwa ngemlilo, kutawuletfwa nemlente loyincenye lengcwele kanye nemganga wemnikelo lojikitiswako kuze kujikitiswe embikwaJehova. Loku kutawuhlale kusabelo sakho nesemadvodzana akho+ njengobe nje Jehova ashito.”
16 Mosi wafunisisa imbuti lebekwentiwe ngayo umnikelo wesono,+ futsi watfola kutsi beyishiswe yonkhe. Ngaleso sizatfu wawatfukutselela kakhulu emadvodzana a-Aroni labesele, bo-Eliyezeri na-Ithamari, watsi: 17 “Anikawudli leni lomnikelo wesono endzaweni lengcwele+ njengobe uyintfo lengcwele ngelizinga leliphakeme, futsi Nkulunkulu aninike wona kuze nitewuphendvula ngetono tema-Israyeli, nente nekutsi abuyisane naJehova? 18 Bukani nje, ingati yawo ayikaletfwa ngekhatsi endzaweni lengcwele.+ Bekufanele noma kanjani niwudle lomnikelo endzaweni lengcwele, njengobe nje Nkulunkulu angitjelile.” 19 Aroni wamphendvula watsi: “Lamuhla umnikelo wesono nemnikelo wekushiswa wentiwe embikwaJehova,+ kodvwa nanobe kunjalo ngehlelwe nguletintfo leti. Kube ngiwudlile lomnikelo wesono lamuhla, loko bekutamjabulisa yini Jehova?” 20 Mosi watsi nakeva loko wenetiseka.
