16 Jehova wakhuluma naMosi ngemuva kwekufa kwemadvodzana a-Aroni lamabili. Lamadvodzana ngulawo lafa ngesikhatsi eta embikwaJehova.+ 2 Jehova watsi kuMosi: “Tjela Aroni umnakenu kutsi akukafaneli angene nobe kunini ngale kwendvwangu,+ eNgcwelengcwele,+ nasembikwesimbonyo seLibhokisi, kuze angafi+ ngobe mine ngitawubonakala efini+ etikwalesimbonyo.+

3 “Naku lokufanele Aroni ete nako naketa endzaweni lengcwele: inkunzana letawuba ngumnikelo wesono+ kanye nemvu lendvuna letawuba ngumnikelo wekushiswa.+ 4 Kufanele agcoke ingubo lengcwele yelineni,+ afake nesikhindi*+ selineni kuze afihle bungcunu* bakhe. Utawubopha neseshi yelineni elukhalo,+ afake nemshuculo welineni enhloko.+ Leti tembatfo letingcwele,+ ngako kufanele ageze ngemanti+ bese uyatigcoka.

5 “Kuma-Israyeli, kufanele atsatse+ timbuti letindvuna letimbili letisetincane letitawuba ngumnikelo wesono kanye nemvu lendvuna letawuba ngumnikelo wekushiswa.

6 “Aroni utawubese uletsa lenkunzi letawuba ngumnikelo wakhe wesono, futsi utawukwenta kutsi yena+ nendlu yakhe babuyisane naNkulunkulu.

7 “Ngemuva kwaloko utawutsatsa letimbuti letimbili atimise embikwaJehova emnyango welithende lekuhlangana. 8 Aroni utawehlukanisa letimbuti letimbili ngenkatho, yinye ibe yaJehova, lelenye ibe yekutfwala tono.* 9 Aroni utawuletsa lembuti leyehlukaniswe ngenkatho+ kutsi ibe yaJehova, ente ngayo umnikelo wesono. 10 Kodvwa lembuti leyehlukaniswe ngenkatho kutsi itfwale tono* kufanele iletfwe embikwaJehova iphila kuze kuyo kwentiwe kutsi bantfu babuyisane naNkulunkulu, bese iyahanjiswa iya ehlane.+

11 “Aroni utawuletsa lenkunzi lengumnikelo wakhe wesono, futsi ente kutsi yena nendlu yakhe babuyisane naNkulunkulu. Ngemuva kwaloko utayihlaba, ibe ngumnikelo wakhe wesono.+

12 “Utawubese utsatsa sitja sekufaka emalahle+ lesigcwele emalahle lavutsako latsetfwe e-al’thare+ lelisembikwaJehova, atsatse nemphepho lengagcwala tandla totimbili leneliphunga lelimnandzi futsi lecolisakele,+ angene nako ngale kwendvwangu.+ 13 Lemphepho utayifaka emlilweni embikwaJehova,+ futsi intfutfu lesuka kuyo itawugcwala ngetulu kwesimbonyo saleLibhokisi+ leBufakazi,+ kuze angafi.

14 “Utawutsatsa lenye yalengati yalenkunzi+ ayintfontsisele ngemunwe wakhe embikwalesimbonyo ngasemphumalanga, lenye ayintfontsisele ngemunwe wakhe embikwalesimbonyo tikhatsi letingu-7.+

15 “Ngemuva kwaloko utawuhlaba lembuti lengumnikelo wesono salabantfu,+ bese ungena nengati yayo+ ngale kwalendvwangu,+ ayintfontsisele ngakulesimbonyo nasembikwaso, njengobe entile ngalengati yenkunzi.

16 “Kufanele ahlambulule lendzawo lengcwele ngenca yekungcola lokwentiwa ngema-Israyeli nangenca yetiphambeko netono tawo.+ Nguloko lokufanele akwentele lelithende lekuhlangana lelisemkhatsini wema-Israyeli lenta tintfo letingcolile.

17 “Kute lomunye umuntfu lokufanele abe kulelithende lekuhlangana kusukela ngalesikhatsi Aroni angena kulo kutewukwenta iminikelo yekubuyisana naNkulunkulu endzaweni lengcwele, kuze kube ngulapho aphuma. Aroni utawukwenta kutsi yena nendlu yakhe,+ kanye nawo onkhe ema-Israyeli babuyisane naNkulunkulu.+

18 “Utawubese uyaphuma uya e-al’thare+ lelisembikwaJehova futsi alihlambulule. Utawutsatsa lenye yengati yalenkunzi nalenye yengati yalembuti ayibhoce kuto tonkhe timphondvo taleli-al’thare. 19 Lenye utayintfontsisela kuleli-al’thare ngemunwe wakhe tikhatsi letingu-7 kuze alihlambulule, ente nekutsi libe ngcwele ngenca yetintfo letingcolile letentiwa ngema-Israyeli.

20 “Aroni nasekacedzile kuhlambulula+ indzawo lengcwele nelithende lekuhlangana kanye neli-al’thare,+ utawubese uletsa lembuti lephilako.+ 21 Utawubeka tandla takhe totimbili enhloko yalembuti, avume onkhe emaphutsa lentiwe ngema-Israyeli, kanye netiphambeko netono tawo, ngaleyo ndlela atibeke enhloko yayo.+ Ngemuva kwaloko utayikhulula kutsi iye ehlane, ihanjiswe yindvodza lekhetfwe kutsi yente lowo msebenti.* 22 Lembuti itawetfwala tonkhe tiphambeko+ tema-Israyeli,+ futsi utayikhulula iye ehlane.+

23 “Aroni utawubese ungena ethendeni lekuhlangana akhumule tingubo telineni labetigcoke nakangena eNgcwelengcwele, futsi utatishiya khona lapho. 24 Kufanele ageze ngemanti+ endzaweni lengcwele bese ugcoka letinye tingubo takhe.+ Ngemuva kwaloko utawukwenta umnikelo wakhe wekushiswa+ kanye newalabantfu,+ ente kutsi yena nabo bonkhe labantfu babuyisane naNkulunkulu.+ 25 Utawushisa emanoni emnikelo wesono kuze intfutfu yawo ishunce isuka e-al’thare.

26 “Lendvodza lehambise lembuti letfwele tono*+ kufanele iwashe tingubo tayo futsi igeze ngemanti, ngemuva kwaloko seyingangena kulendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo.

27 “Lenkunzi kanye nalembuti lebekungumnikelo wesono, lokutsetfwe ingati yako kwangenwa nayo endzaweni lengcwele nakwentiwa iminikelo yekubuyisana naNkulunkulu, kutawukhishelwa ngaphandle kwalendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo. Sikhumba, inyama kanye nebulongo bako kutawushiswa ngemlilo.+ 28 Loyo lokushisako kufanele awashe tingubo takhe futsi ageze ngemanti, ngemuva kwaloko sekangangena endzaweni lokuhlalwa kuyo.

29 “Nangu umtsetfo lotawuhlala njalo lokufanele niwulandzele: Ngelilanga lesi-10 enyangeni yesi-7, kufanele nivete kutsi niva buhlungu* ngenca yetono tenu futsi kufanele ningasebenti sanhlobo ngalelolanga,+ kungaba ngum-Israyeli nobe umuntfu losihambi lohlala emkhatsini wenu. 30 Ngalelolanga, nitawentiwa kutsi nibuyisane naNkulunkulu,+ kuze kutsiwe nihlantekile. Nitawuba bantfu labahlantekile embikwaJehova kuto tonkhe tono tenu.+ 31 Leli lisabatha, ngako kufanele kungasetjentwa sanhlobo ngalelolanga, futsi kufanele nivete kutsi niva buhlungu ngenca yetono tenu.+ Lona ngumtsetfo lohlala njalo.

32 “Umphristi lotawugcotjwa+ futsi abekwe* kutsi abe ngumphristi+ esikhundleni sababe wakhe+ utawunenta kutsi nibuyisane naNkulunkulu. Utawugcoka letingubo letingcwele+ telineni.+ 33 Utawuhlambulula iNgcwelengcwele,+ lithende lekuhlangana+ kanye neli-al’thare,+ aphindze ente kutsi baphristi kanye nawo onkhe ema-Israyeli babuyisane naNkulunkulu.+ 34 Loku kutawuba ngumtsetfo lohlala njalo kini,+ futsi kutakwentiwa kanye ngemnyaka kuze ema-Israyeli abuyisane naNkulunkulu ngenca yato tonkhe tono tawo.”+

Ngako Aroni wenta njengobe nje Jehova atjele Mosi.
