3 mulembere onsene ali mu nsoka udasankhulwa toera kutumikira pa nsasa wa nsonkhano+ akuti ali na pyaka 30+ mpaka 50 pyakubalwa.+
4 “Iyi ndi basa inafuna kuphata ana a dzindza ya Kowati pa nsasa wa nsonkhano.+ Ineyi ndi basa yakucena kakamwe.
5 Aizraeli angafuna kuthukusa misasa yawo, Aroni na anace anadzapita mu nsasa wa nsonkhano, anabulusa nguwo ikulu,*+ mbaphimbira nayo Bokosi+ ya Umboni.
6 Iwo anadzaiphimbira na nthembe ya foka, padzulu pace anapaphimbira na nguwo ya bhurumu. Angamala anaikha pontho pimiti+ pyakuthukula napyo Bokosi.
7 “Pontho meza ya mikate+ ya ntsembe anadzaiphimbira na nguwo ya bhurumu, mbaikhapo mbale, ndiko, mabasiya na makhomitco makulu a ntsembe+ za pyakumwa; mikate+ ya ntsembe zinaperekwa ndzidzi onsene isafunika ipitirize pameza.
8 Pinthu pyenepi iwo anapiphimbira na nguwo yakufuira kakamwe, pontho meza asafunika aiphimbire na nthembe ya foka, mbaikha pontho pimiti+ pyakuthukula napyo meza.
9 Buluka penepo, iwo anadzakwata nguwo ya bhurumu mbaphimbira cakuikhira nyale+ cinaphatisirwa toera kumwanikira, pabodzi na nyale,+ pyakuthimisa+ napyo moto, pyakugasa napyo nyale na pyombo pyonsene pinaikhirwa mafuta toera nyale zipitirize kugaka.
10 Cakuikhira nyale na pyombo pyace pyonsene, anadzapipyangirira na nthembe ya foka, mbapiikha pamuti* toera kupithukula.
11 Pa guwa ya ouro iwo anadzathasika nguwo ya bhurumu, anaiphimbira na nthembe ya foka, mbaikha pontho pimiti+ pyakuthukula napyo guwa.+
12 Buluka penepo anakwata pyombo+ pyonsene pinaphatisira iwo ndzidzi onsene unatumikira iwo pa mbuto yakucena, mbapiikha pa nguwo ya bhurumu; anapiphimbira na nthembe ya foka mbapiikha pamuti* toera kupithukula.
13 “Iwo asafunika abuluse madotha* pa guwa ya ntsembe,+ mbaphimbira guwa na nguwo ya maweya a mabira yakukhwazwa pinthu pyakufuirira.
14 Iwo anadzaikha pinthu pyonsene pinaphatisira iwo angatumikira pa guwa ya ntsembe: Pyakuikhira makala a moto, magarfu, mafoxolo, mabasiya, inde, pyombo pyonsene pya pa guwa+ ya ntsembe. Iwo asafunika apiphimbire na nthembe ya foka, mbaikha pontho pimiti+ pyakuthukula napyo guwa ya ntsembe.
15 “Aizraeli angafuna kuthukusa misasa yawo, Aroni na anace asafunika amalise kuphimbira mbuto+ yakucena na pyombo pyonsene pya pa mbuto yakucena. Buluka penepo, ana a Kowati anadzapita toera kupithukula,+ mbwenye iwo nee asafunika kukhuya pinthu pya pa mbuto yakucena, gopa anafa.+ Ineyi ndi basa ya* ana a Kowati inafunika iwo kuphata pa mbuto yakucena.
16 “Eleazare+ mwana wa nyantsembe Aroni ndiye ali na basa yakuonera mafuta akugasa nawo nyale,+ insenso+ yakununkhira, ntsembe za pyakudya zinaperekwa mwakukhonda phonya na mafuta akudzodza+ nawo. Ndiye anafuna kuonera tabhernakulo na pinthu pyonsene piri mwenemu, kuphatanizambo mbuto yakucena na pyombo pyace.”
17 Yahova alonga pontho na Mose na Aroni:
18 “Lekani kutawirisa kuti dzindza yonsene ya Kowati+ ifudzwe pakati pa Alevi.
19 Mbwenye citani ipi toera ipitirize na umaso, pontho ikhonde kufa ingafendedzera pinthu+ pyakucena kakamwe. Aroni na anace anadzapita mu nsasa wa nsonkhano mbapasa mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi wa iwo basa yace na pinthu pinafunika iye kuthukula.
20 Iwo nee asafunika kupita mu nsasa wa nsonkhano mbaona pinthu pyakucena, ngakhale kupiona pangʼono basi, gopa anafa.”+
21 Buluka penepo, Yahova apanga Mose:
22 “Usafunika kulembera ana a dzindza ya Jersoni+ mwakubverana na ambuyawo na mabanja awo.
23 Lembera onsene ali mu nsoka udasankhulwa toera kutumikira pa nsasa wa nsonkhano akuti ali na pyaka 30 mpaka 50 pyakubalwa.
24 Iyi ndi basa inafuna kuphata dzindza ya Jersoni na pinthu pinafuna kuthukula+ iwo:
25 Iwo anadzathukula nguwo za pa tabhernakulo,+ nsasa wa nsonkhano, nguwo zakuphimbira nazo nsasa na nthembe za foka ziri padzulu pa nsasa,+ nguwo ikulu* ya pansuwo wa nsasa wa nsonkhano,+
26 nguwo za mpanda wa thando,+ nguwo ikulu* ya pansuwo wa mpanda+ udazungulira tabhernakulo na guwa ya ntsembe, nkhambala zakumanga nazo, pyombo pyonsene na pinthu pyonsene pinaphatisirwa mʼbasa ya pa tabhernakulo. Ineyi ndi basa yawo.
27 Basa yonsene ya dzindza ya Jersoni+ na pinthu pyonsene pinafuna kuthukula iwo, pisafunika kuonerwa na Aroni pabodzi na anace. Munadzaapasa basa yakuthukula pinthu pyenepi.
28 Ineyi ndi basa inafuna kuphata dzindza ya Jersoni pa nsasa wa nsonkhano;+ pontho mabasa awo anadzaonerwa na Itamari+ mwana wa nyantsembe Aroni.
29 “Mbwenye ana a Merari+ usafunika kualembera mwakubverana na mabanja awo na ambuyawo.
30 Lembera onsene ali mu nsoka udasankhulwa toera kutumikira pa nsasa wa nsonkhano akuti ali na pyaka 30 mpaka 50 pyakubalwa.
31 Iwo ali na basa yakuthukula+ pinthu ipi pa nsasa wa nsonkhano: Matabwa+ a tabhernakulo akulandana na aro wa nsuwo, pimiti+ pya tabhernakulo, mizati+ yace,* matsinde+ ace akuti ali na mabenga;
32 mizati+ ya mpanda udazungulira thando,* matsinde+ ace akuti ali na mabenga, pyakupana+ napyo, nkhambala zace, pyombo pyonsene na pinthu pyonsene pinaphatisirwa mʼbasa ya pinthu pyenepi. Mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi musafunika kumpasa cinthu* cinafunika iye kuthukula.
33 Ana a dzindza ya Merari+ asafunika atumikire tenepo pa nsasa wa nsonkhano, iwo asafunika kuonerwa na Itamari mwana wa nyantsembe+ Aroni.”
