18 Akupu Yehowa nkulungula Alona’shi: “Obe na bana bobe balume na nshibo ya ba mashobe anukatuala bushito bua kilubilo kioso kiakia ki’abakitshina mbalo ya kishila, na obe na bana bobe balume anukatuala bushito bua kilubilo kioso kiakia ki’abakitshina bu tshite muakuidi buenu.
2 Oyitanyine dingi bakuenu balume ba mu kisamba kia Levi, kisamba kia ba mashobe kulu, bua’shi bebungie kodi na bakufubile na bana bobe balume kumpala kua kashibo k’epema ka Bukamonyi.
3 Abitungu bakumbashe mifubo yabo pabikutale na pabitale kashibo koso k’epema. Anka t’abitungu befubuile pepi na bintu bia mu mbalo ya kishila na kilambuilo, bua’shi abo sunga obe tanufuanga.
4 Abakebungu kodi na kulombasha mifubo yabo pabitale kashibo k’epema ka kufumankena na mifubo yoso itale kashibo k’epema, na muntu su ngumune shi mupebue matalua* ta mulombene kuifubuila pepi nenu.
5 Abitungu nukumbashe mufubo wenu pabitale mbalo ya kishila na pabitale kilambuilo, bua’shi ingi nsungu tayifuilanga muilo wa Isalele.
6 Ami nemuate bakuenu balume, bena Levi munkatshi mua bena Isalele bu kia buntu buenu. Mbapebue kui Yehowa bua kukumbasha mufubo wa ku kashibo k’epema ka kufumankena.
7 Obe na bana bobe balume, nui na bushito bua kulombasha mifubo ya bu tshite muakuidi itale kilambuilo na bintu bi kunyima kua kilamba kia lushiko, na abitungu nukite uno mufubo. Nenupa mufubo wa bu tshite muakuidi bu kia buntu, na muntu su ngumune shi mupebue matalua* efubuila pepi abitungu ayipayibue.”
8 Yehowa nkulungula dingi Alona’shi: “Nakutuulu bua kutala bia buntu biabampa. Nakupa obe na bana bobe balume kipindi kia bintu bioso bia kishila bi’abalambula kui bena Isalele bu kipindi ki’abekala abenupa bua loso.
9 Bino nyi abikala biobe mu milambu ikile kishila ishiikibue kaalo: milambu yoso yabalambula mpa na milambu yabo ya ntete, milambu yabo ya muluisho na milambu yabo ya kushimisha nayo miluisho yabantuadila. Nyi nkintu kikile kishila bobe na bua bana bobe balume.
10 Anukeudiila mu mbalo ikile kishila. Muana mulume oso ekuiudia. Akikala kintu kia kishila kodi.
11 Bino bingi’nyi mbiobe: bia buntu bi’abatuusha kui bena Isalele pamune na milambu yoso ya kupuka. Nakupa bianka obe na bana bobe balume na bana bobe bakashi bu kipindi ki’abekala abenupa bua loso. Muntu oso shi butete mu nshibo yobe mulombene kuibidia.
12 “Muimu oso wi buwa ngofu, nfinyo yoso ipia i buwa ngofu na ntete, biumbuluanga biabo bia kumpala, bi’abapa Yehowa, nakupa bianka.
13 Biumbuluanga bia kumpala bia kintu kioso kia mu nsenga yabo, bi’abatuala kui Yehowa, abikala biobe. Muntu oso shi butete mu nshibo yobe mulombene kuibidia.
14 “Kintu kioso kituudibue ku lupese* mu Isalele bua muanda kampanda wa kishila akikala kiobe.
15 “Muana mbedi oso a kintu kioso ki na muwa,* abalambula kui Yehowa, biabikala a muntu sunga a nyema, ekala oobe. Anka abitungu okuule muana mbedi a bantu, na abitungu okuule dingi muana mbedi a nyema i butete.
16 Abitungu omukuule na muulo wa nkuulo padi na mueshi umune na kunundu, ku muulo wabadi batshibe wa shekele* itano ya kiamo kia arja, muyile kipimo kia shekele a ku mbalo ya kishila.* Muikale gera* 20.
17 Anka t’abitungu okuule muana mbedi mulume a ngombe sunga muana mbedi mulume a mukooko, sunga muana mbedi a mbushi. Nyi mbintu bia kishila. Abitungu omiamine mase aayo pa kilambuilo, na kufitshisha muimu wayo miishi bu mulambu ushiikibue mu kaalo bua mapembue e buwa* kui Yehowa.
18 Na muita wayo awikala oobe. Awikala oobe nka bu luidi lua mulambu wa kupuka, na bu kioko kibalume.
19 Bia buntu bioso bia kishila abilambula bena Isalele kui Yehowa, nakupa bianka obe na bana bobe balume na bana bobe bakashi bu kipindi ki’abekala abakupa bua loso. Nyi nkilombeno kia mungua* kia loso kumpala kua Yehowa bobe na bua lutandua lobe.”
20 Yehowa nkulungula dingi Alona’shi: “T’okekala na bupianyi mu nsenga yabo, na t’okapete kipindi su nkimune kia nsenga munkatshi muabo. Ne kipindi kiobe na bupianyi bobe munkatshi mua bena Isalele.
21 “Binobino napa bana balume ba Levi ki’ekumi kioso mu Isalele bu bupianyi bua mufubo wabakuete kukita, mufubo wa kashibo k’epema ka kufumankena.
22 Bena Isalele ta mbalombene kuifubuila dingi pepi na kashibo k’epema ka kufumankena, bisumanga abakitshi muluisho na abafu.
23 Abitungu bena Levi banabene bakite mufubo wa kashibo k’epema ka kufumankena, na nnabo abasemuna bushito bua kilubilo kiabo. Nyi muiya wa loso munda mua bipungo bienu bioso bua’shi tabapetanga bupianyi munkatshi mua bena Isalele.
24 Muanda nemupe bena Levi bu bupianyi, ki’ekumi akilambula bena Isalele, ki’abalambula kui Yehowa. Nyi buakinyi nemuibalungule’shi, ‘T’anupete bupianyi munkatshi mua bena Isalele.’”
25 Akupu Yehowa nkulungula Moyise’shi:
26 “Lungula bena Levi’shi, ‘Anupete kui bena Isalele ki’ekumi kianenupa bu bupianyi buenu, na abitungu nutuushe kuanka ki’ekumi kia ku ki’ekumi bu kia buntu kui Yehowa.
27 Na akikala bu kia buntu kienu, nka bu ntete ya pa mbalo ya kufunta ntete sunga bintu bi bungi bia ku kikamino kia nfinyo sunga ku kikamino kia muimu.
28 Mu uno mushindo nyi muanutuusha namu kia buntu kui Yehowa ku bi’ekumi bioso bi’anupete kui bena Isalele, na ku bianka nkuanupa tshite muakuidi Alona kia buntu kia Yehowa.
29 Anupa Yehowa bia buntu bia mishindo yoso bia ku bia buntu bi buwa ngofu bi’abenupa bu kintu kia kishila.’
30 “Na abitungu w’ebalungule’shi, ‘P’anutuusha bintu bi buwa ngofu bia ku bianka, paapa abishala abikala bia bena Levi nka bu bintu bia pa mbalo ya kufunta ntete na bu bintu bia ku kikamino kia nfinyo sunga kikamino kia muimu.
31 Anue na bifuko bienu anuikidi mu mbalo yoso yaaya, muanda nyi efuto dienu bua mufubo wenu w’anukitshi ku kashibo k’epema ka kufumankena.
32 T’anukitshi muluisho mu uno muanda p’anutuusha bintu bi buwa ngofu bia ku bianka, na t’abitungu nuate na muulo upeela bintu bia kishila bia bena Isalele, bisumanga anufu.’”
