Aroni wenta iminikelo leyentiwa nakubekwa baphristi (1-24)
9 Ngelilanga lesi-8,+ Mosi wabita Aroni nemadvodzana akhe kanye nemadvodza lamadzala aka-Israyeli.
2 Watsi ku-Aroni: “Tsatsa litfole leliphile kahle lelitawuba ngumnikelo wakho wesono,+ nemvu lendvuna lephile kahle letawuba ngumnikelo wakho wekushiswa, futsi kokubili ukuletse embikwaJehova.
3 Kodvwa naku lotawukusho kuma-Israyeli: ‘Kufanele niletse imbuti lendvuna letawuba ngumnikelo wesono, nelitfole lelinemnyaka munye, kanye nemvu lendvuna lenemnyaka munye lokutawuba ngumnikelo wekushiswa, futsi letilwane kufanele tibe nguletiphile kahle.
4 Kufanele niletse nenkhabi kanye nemvu lendvuna lokutawuba ngumhlatjelo wekuthula+ lenitawunikela ngawo embikwaJehova. Nitawuletsa nemnikelo walokutinhlavu+ lobhicwe nemafutsa, ngobe lamuhla Jehova utawubonakala kini.’”+
5 Ngako-ke batsatsa letintfo Mosi labebatjele ngato batiletsa embikwelithende lekuhlangana. Onkhe ema-Israyeli asondzela futsi ema embikwaJehova.
6 Mosi wabese utsi: “Nguloku Jehova latsite nibokwenta kuze nitobona inkhatimulo yaJehova.”+
7 Mosi watsi ku-Aroni: “Yani e-al’thare, ufike wente umnikelo wakho wesono+ kanye nemnikelo wakho wekushiswa, kuze wena kanye nendlu yakho nibuyisane naNkulunkulu.+ Utawubese wentela nalabantfu umnikelo,+ kuze babuyisane naNkulunkulu,+ njengobe nje Jehova ashito.”
8 Ngekushesha Aroni waya e-al’thare futsi wahlaba lelitfole lebelitawuba ngumnikelo wakhe wesono.+
9 Emadvodzana akhe abese aletsa ingati+ yalo kuye, yena wenya umunwe wakhe kulengati futsi wayibhoca etimphondvweni teli-al’thare, kwatsi lelenye wayitsela ekhatsi kuleli-al’thare.+
10 Washisa emanoni, netinso kanye nemanoni lambonye sibindzi lawatsetse kulomnikelo wesono, kuze intfutfu yako ishunce isuka e-al’thare, njengobe nje Jehova abeshito kuMosi.+
11 Inyama yalelitfole kanye nesikhumba sayo wakushisa ngemlilo ngaphandle kwalendzawo labebahlala kuyo.+
12 Ngemuva kwaloko, wahlaba lesilwane lebesitawuba ngumnikelo wekushiswa. Emadvodzana akhe aletsa ingati yaso kuye, wayifafata kuto tonkhe tinhlangotsi teli-al’thare.+
13 Amnika nemacatsa alesilwane lesingumnikelo wekushiswa kanye nenhloko yaso, futsi yena wakushisa kuze intfutfu yako ishunce isuka e-al’thare.
14 Wabese uwasha ematfumbu kanye nabogalu, wakushisa etikwemnikelo wekushiswa kuze intfutfu yako ishunce isuka e-al’thare.
15 Nakacedza waletsa umnikelo walabantfu futsi watsatsa imbuti lebeyitawuba ngumnikelo wabo wesono, wayihlaba wase wenta ngayo umnikelo wesono ngendlela lente ngayo kulomnikelo wekucala.
16 Waletsa nemnikelo wekushiswa, wawunikela ngendlela lokuvame kwentiwa ngayo.+
17 Ngephandle kwemnikelo wekushiswa lowentiwa ekuseni,+ waphindze waletsa nemnikelo walokutinhlavu.+ Watsatsa kuwo longagcwala sandla sakhe wawushisa kuze intfutfu yawo ishunce isuka e-al’thare.
18 Ngemuva kwaloko wahlaba lenkhabi kanye nalemvu lendvuna lebekutawuba ngumhlatjelo wekuthula lowentelwa labantfu. Emadvodzana a-Aroni abese aletsa ingati yaletilwane, yena wayifafata kuto tonkhe tinhlangotsi teli-al’thare.+
19 Atsatsa emanoni alenkhabi,+ umsila lononile walemvu lendvuna, emanoni lambonye kwangekhatsi, tinso kanye nemanoni lambonye sibindzi,+
20 konkhe akubeka etikwemiganga. Ngemuva kwaloko Aroni washisa lamanoni kuze intfutfu yawo ishunce isuka kuleli-al’thare.+
21 Kodvwa lemiganga kanye nemlente wangesekudla, wakujikitisa kwaba ngumnikelo lojikitiswako embikwaJehova, njengobe nje Mosi abemtjelile.+
22 Aroni wase ubuka ngakulabantfu, waphakamisa tandla takhe futsi wababusisa,+ ngemuva kwaloko wehla e-al’thare lapho bekentela khona umnikelo wesono, nemnikelo wekushiswa kanye nemihlatjelo yekuthula.
23 Ekugcineni boMosi na-Aroni bangena ethendeni lekuhlangana, ngemuva kwaloko baphuma futsi babusisa labantfu.+
Bonkhe bantfu babese babona inkhatimulo yaJehova,+
24 kwehla nemlilo uvela kuJehova+ washisa lomnikelo wekushiswa nalamanoni lebekase-al’thare. Bonkhe labantfu batsi nabakubona loku, bamemeta bajabulile baphindze bakhotsama.+
