15 “Aroni abana bakwe beelede kumanizya kuvwumba busena busalala azibelesyo zyoonse zyamubusena busalala+ ciindi cakulonga. Kumane bana ba Kohati bayooboola akuzibweza,+ pele tabeelede kuguma busena busalala nkaambo bayoofwa.+ Eeyi njemilimo* njobeelede kubeleka bana ba Kohati mutente lyakuswaanganina.
16 “Eleazara+ imwana wa Aroni mupaizi unoolanganya mafwuta aakumunisya,+ tununkilizyo,+ cituuzyo camaila cituulwa lyoonse amafwuta aakunanika.+ Nguujisi mukuli wakulanganya tente lyakukombela lyoonse azintu zyoonse zili mumo, kubikkilizya abusena busalala azibelesyo zyambubo.”
