Levitikusi 10:1-20
10 Kamva amadodana ka-Aroni uNadabi no-Abihu+ ngayinye yathatha into yayo yokuphatha umlilo,+ yafaka umlilo ngaphakathi nepepho.+ Anikela ipepho ngomlilo ongakavumeleki phambi kwakaJehova, okuyinto abatjela bona bangayenzi.
2 Khonokho kwavela umlilo phambi kwakaJehova wabatjhisa+ bahlongakala phambi kwakaJehova.+
3 Nje-ke uMosi wathi ku-Aroni: “Nakhu uJehova akutjhwileko, ‘Ngizokucwengiswa hlangana nabantu abeza phambi kwami,+ ngizokuphazinyuliswa phambi kwabo boke abantu.’” U-Aroni wathula.
4 UMosi wabiza uMitjhayeli no-Elitsafani amadodana ka-Uziyeli+ usonghwana ka-Aroni, wathi kibo: “Yizani nizokuthatha abafowenu phambi kwendawo ecwengileko nibakhuphele ngaphandle kwekampa.”
5 Batjhidela babathwala basambethe iimphuraphura zabo babakhuphela ngaphandle kwekampa, njengombana uMosi abayalile.
6 UMosi wathi ku-Aroni nakwamanye amadodanakhe u-Elazara no-Itamara: “Ningalisi iinhluthu zenu zibe zide begodu zingakanywa namkha nirathule izambatho zenu,+ khona ningeze nife begodu ilaka lakaZimu lingehleli yoke ihlangano. Abafowenu behlangano yoke yakwa-Israyeli bazokulilela labo uJehova ababulele ngomlilo.
7 Akukafuzi niphume ebungenweni betende lokuhlangana ukwenzela bona ningafi ngombana uJehova unizese ngamafutha.”+ Benza lokho uMosi abayale khona.
8 Nje-ke uJehova wathi ku-Aroni:
9 “Ungaseli iwayini namkha nanyana kungaba yini edakako, wena namadodanakho lokha naniya etendeni lokuhlangana,+ ukwenzela bona ningafi. Lo mthetho ozokuhlala usebenza kizo zoke iinzukulwana zenu.
10 Lokhu kuzohlukanisa into ecwengileko nengakacwengeki, kuhlukanise into engakahlwengeki nehlwengileko,+
11 begodu uzokukghona ukufundisa ama-Israyeli zoke iinqophiso uJehova azikhulume kiwo ngoMosi.”+
12 Nje-ke uMosi wakhuluma no-Aroni namadodanakhe egade asele, u-Elazara no-Itamara, wathi: “Eminikelweni kaJehova eyenziwe ngomlilo thathani okuseleko komnikelo weenthoro, nibhage uburotho obunganasibiliso. Uburothobu nizobudlela eduze ne-aldara+ ngombana bucwengeke khulu.+
13 Kufuze niyidlele endaweni ecwengileko+ ngombana yinto okufuze wena namadodanakho niyithole eminikelweni kaJehova eyenziwe ngomlilo ngombana ngilokhu engayalwa ngakho.
14 Nizokudla nesifuba somnikelo ophephezeliswako nomlenze wengcenye ecwengileko endaweni ehlwengileko,+ wena, amadodanakho namadodakazakho+ ngombana emihlatjelweni yetjhebiswano yama-Israyeli, ngilokhu okufuze wena namadodanakho ninikelwe khona.
15 Azokuletha umlenze wengcenye ecwengileko nesifuba somnikelo ophephezeliswako nomnikelo wamafutha owenziwe ngomlilo bona kuphephezeliswe umnikelo ophephezeliswako, usiwe emuva naphambili phambi kwakaJehova. Ngilokho ozokuhlala ukufumana, wena namadodanakho+ njengombana uJehova ayalile.”
16 UMosi wafunisisa imbuzi yomnikelo wesono+ kodwana wafumana ukuthi itjhisiwe. Nje-ke wasilingeka ngebanga laka-Elazara no-Itamara amadodana ka-Aroni aseleko, wathi:
17 “Kubayini ningakhenge nidlele umnikelo wesono endaweni ecwengileko+ ngombana uyinto ecwengeke khulu begodu uninikele wona bona nisuse isono sehlangano, niyenzele umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono phambi kwakaJehova?
18 Qalani! Iingazi zawo akhenge zilethwe endaweni ecwengileko,+ bekufuze niwudlele endaweni ecwengileko njengombana ngiyaliwe.”
19 U-Aroni waphendula uMosi wathi: “Qala! Namhlanjesi balethe umnikelwabo wesono nomnikelwabo otjhiswako phambi kwakaJehova+ kodwana izintwezi zenzeke kimi. Ngathana ngidle umnikelo wesono namhlanjesi, kghani lokho bekuzomthabisa uJehova?”
20 Kwathi uMosi nakezwa lokhu wazwisisa.
