ULevi 6:1-30
6 UJehova waqhubeka ekhuluma loMosi wathi:
2 “Nxa umuntu angona njalo angathembeki kuJehova+ ngokuqila umakhelwane wakhe mayelana lalokho ambambise khona kumbe lokho amgcinise khona,+ loba nxa angaqila kumbe adlelezele umakhelwane wakhe,
3 loba nxa angathola okuthile okulahlekileyo abeseqamba amanga ngakho, kumbe nxa angenza loba yisiphi isono esinjalo abesefunga eqamba amanga,+ nanku okumele akwenze:
4 Nxa angona abesetholakala elecala kumele abuyisele lokho akutshontshileyo loba lokho akuthethe ngenkani kumbe lokho akuthethe ngobuqili loba lokho akubanjisiweyo kumbe lokho obekulahlekile,
5 kumbe loba yini afunge ngayo eqamba amanga. Kumele akhiphe yonke imbadalo efunekayo+ futhi angezelele okukodwa kokuhlanu kuleyombadalo. Uzayinika umnikazi waleyonto ngelanga azabanjwa ngalo ukuthi ulecala.
6 Kanti njalo uzanika umphristi inqama engelasici ezakuba ngumnikelo wecala oya kuJehova futhi inqama leyo kumele ihambelane lembadalo efunekayo yomnikelo wecala.+
7 Umphristi uzamhlawulela phambi kukaJehova njalo uzathethelelwa loba yiliphi icala angabe elenzile.”+
8 UJehova waqhubeka ekhuluma loMosi wathi:
9 “Tshela u-Aroni lamadodana akhe uthi, ‘Nanku umthetho ophathelane lomnikelo wokutshiswa:+ Umnikelo wokutshiswa kumele uqhubeke useziko le-alithare ubusuku bonke kuze kuse futhi umlilo kumele uhlale ubhebha e-alithareni.
10 Umphristi kumele agqoke izigqoko zelineni+ zokwenza umsebenzi wakhe, agqoke lebhulugwe lelineni elifitshane.+ Ngemva kwalokho uzabutha umlotha*+ womnikelo wokutshiswa oyabe utshiswe ngumlilo ose-alithareni awufake eceleni kwalo.
11 Kumele akhiphe lezigqoko zakhe+ agqoke ezinye, abesebutha umlotha awuse endaweni ehlanzekileyo ngaphandle kwezihonqo.+
12 Umlilo kumele uhlale ubhebha e-alithareni akumelanga ucitshe. Nsuku zonke ekuseni umphristi kumele afake inkuni emlilweni+ njalo abeke kuhle umhlatshelo wokutshiswa phezu kwawo. Kufanele atshise lamafutha omhlatshelo wobudlelwano athunqe phezu kwawo.+
13 Umlilo kumele ubhebhe kokuphela e-alithareni akumelanga ucitshe.
14 “‘Nanku umthetho ophathelane lomnikelo wamabele:+ Lina madodana ka-Aroni kumele liwulethe kuJehova phambi kwe-alithare.
15 Omunye wamadodana ka-Aroni uzacupha ifulawa ecolekileyo egcwala isandla eyomnikelo wamabele lamafutha ayo, layo yonke inhlaka yokwenza impepha esemnikelweni wamabele abesekutshisa konke kuthunqe phezu kwe-alithare kube ngumnikelo oloqhatshi olumnandi oyingxenye emela* wonke umnikelo oya kuJehova.+
16 U-Aroni lamadodana akhe bazathatha okuseleyo+ emnikelweni lo bakusebenzise ukwenza isinkwa esingelamvubelo njalo bazasidlela endaweni engcwele egumeni letende lokuhlangana.+
17 Akumelanga ufakwe loba yini elemvubelo+ nxa ubhekhwa njalo ngibanike wona ukuthi ube yisabelo sabo esivela eminikelweni yami etshiswa ngomlilo.+ Uyinto engcwele kakhulu+ njengomnikelo wesono lomnikelo wecala.
18 Bonke abesilisa abangamadodana ka-Aroni bazawudla.+ Lesi kuzahlala kuyisabelo sabo esivela eminikelweni etshiselwa uJehova ngomlilo+ kuzo zonke izizukulwane zenu. Konke okuyithintayo* kuzakuba ngcwele.’”
19 UJehova waphinda wakhuluma loMosi wathi:
20 “Nanku umnikelo ozanikelwa ngu-Aroni lamadodana akhe kuJehova ngelanga lokugcotshwa kwakhe:+ Bazanikela ngefulawa ecolekileyo eyingxenye ye-efa*+ eyodwa etshumini ibe ngumnikelo wamabele owenziwa zikhathi zonke,+ enye ingxenye yawo izanikelwa ekuseni, enye inikelwe kusihlwa.
21 Umnikelo lo kumele wenzelwe emganwini wensimbi+ ngamafutha njalo uwulethe uhlanganiswe kuhle lamafutha. Kufanele wethule umnikelo lo wamabele obhekhiweyo uhletshuhletshuniwe, ube luqhatshi olumnandi kuJehova.
22 Umnikelo lo kumele unikelwe ngumphristi ogcotshiweyo ozangena esikhundleni sika-Aroni, umphristi okhethwe phakathi kwamadodana akhe.+ Wonke umnikelo lo uzatshiswa uthunqe phambi kukaJehova. Lo ngumlayo ozahlala ukhona.
23 Wonke umnikelo wamabele olethwa ngumphristi kumele utshiswe. Akumelanga udliwe.”
24 UJehova waphinda wakhuluma loMosi wathi:
25 “Tshela u-Aroni lamadodana akhe uthi, ‘Nanku umthetho ophathelane lomnikelo wesono:+ Umnikelo wesono uzahlatshelwa+ lapho okuhlatshelwa khona umnikelo wokutshiswa phambi kukaJehova ngoba uyinto engcwele kakhulu.
26 Umphristi onikela umnikelo wesono uzakudla ingxenye yakhe.+ Kumele udlelwe endaweni engcwele egumeni letende lokuhlangana.+
27 “‘Loba yini ezathinta inyama yomnikelo lo izakuba ngcwele njalo loba ngubani ozachaphazela igazi lawo esigqokweni sakhe kumele asiwatshele endaweni engcwele.
28 Imbiza yebumba okuxhwathiswe ngayo inyama yomnikelo lo kumele iphahlazwe. Kodwa nxa ixhwathiswe ngembiza yekhopha kumele ikhuhlwe njalo igeziswe ngamanzi.
29 “‘Wonke amadoda angabaphristi kumele awudle+ ngoba uyinto engcwele kakhulu.+
30 Kodwa akulamnikelo wesono okumele udliwe nxa kuyikuthi elinye igazi lawo lingeniswe etendeni lokuhlangana ukuze kuhlawulelwe ngalo endaweni engcwele.+ Kumele utshiswe ngomlilo.
