18INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Wena lamadodana akho lendlu kayihlo kanye lawea lizathwala ububi bendlu engcwele; futhi wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizathwala ububi bobupristi benub. 2 Labafowenu, isizwe sakoLevi, isizwe sikayihlo, basondeze-ke lawe ukuze bahlanganiswe lawec, bakusized. Kodwa wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizakuba phambi kwethente lobufakazie. 3 Bazagcina umlayo wakho, lemfanelo zethente lonkef; kodwa kabayikusondela ezitsheni zendlu engcwele lelathinig, ukuze bangafi, labo lanih. 4 Bazahlanganiswa lawe, bagcine imfanelo zethente lenhlangano kuyo yonke inkonzo yethente; kodwa owemzini kayikusondela kinii. 5 Njalo lizagcina imfanelo zendlu engcwele lemfanelo zelathij, ukuze kungabi kusaba khona ulaka phezu kwabantwana bakoIsrayelik. 6 Mina-ke, khangelani, ngithethe abafowenu amaLevi bevela phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayelil. Bayisipho kini, baphiwe iNkosi ukwenza inkonzo yethente lenhlanganom. 7 Ngakho wena lamadodana akho kanye lawe lizagcina ubupristi benu kuzo zonke izinto zelathin laphakathi kweveyili, likhonzeo. Nginike ubupristi benu bube ngumsebenzi wesipho; kodwa owemzini osondelayo uzabulawa.

8 INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Mina-ke, khangela, ngikunike ukuphathwa kweminikelo yami yokuphakanyiswa yazo zonke izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayelip; ngiziphe wena, ngenxa yokugcotshwa, lamadodana akhoq, ngesimiso esilaphakader. 9 Lokhu kuzakuba ngokwakho okuvela ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele, zivela emlilwenis; yonke iminikelo yabo, yonke iminikelo yabo yokudlat, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yesonou, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yecala, abazayibuyisela kimiv; izakuba ngengcwelengcwele ibe ngeyakho leyamadodana akhow. 10 Lizakudlela engcweleni yezingcwele; wonke owesilisa uzakudla; kuzakuba ngcwele kuwex. 11 Lalokhu ngokwakho: Umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesipho sabo, layo yonke iminikelo yokuzunguzwa yabantwana bakoIsrayeliy; ngikuphe wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho, ngesimiso esilaphakadez. Wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uzakudlaa. 12 Ikhethelo lonke lamafutha, lekhethelo lonke lewayini elitsha, lelamabeleb, lengqabutho yalezo abazazinikela eNkosini, ngiziphe wenac. 13 Izithelo zokuqala zakho konke okuselizweni labo abazakuletha eNkosini kuzakuba ngokwakhod. Wonke ohlambulukileyo endlini yakho uzakudlae. 14 Konke okwehlukanisiweyo koIsrayeli kuzakuba ngokwakhof. 15 Konke okuvula isizalo, kwayo yonke inyama abakuletha eNkosini, phakathi kwabantu laphakathi kwezifuyo, kuzakuba ngokwakhog; kodwa izibulo lomuntu uzalihlenga lokulihlenga, lezibulo lenyamazana engcolileyo uzalihlengah. 16 Lalezo ezizahlengwa uzazihlenga kusukela sezilenyanga, njengesilinganiso sakhoi, ngemali yamashekeli* amahlanu, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwelej, elingamagera* angamatshumi amabilik. 17 Kodwa izibulo lenkomo, kumbe izibulo lemvu, kumbe izibulo lembuzi, awuyikuwahlenga, angcwelel. Uzafafaza igazi lawo phezu kwelathi, utshise amahwahwa awo, abe ngumnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, kube luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosinim. 18 Lenyama yawo izakuba ngeyakho, njengesifuba esizunguziweyo lanjengomlenze wokunene, kuzakuba ngokwakhon. 19 Yonke iminikelo yokuphakanyiswa yezinto ezingcwele abantwana bakoIsrayeli abayinikela eNkosini ngiyinike wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho kanye lawe, ngesimiso esilaphakadeo. Kuyisivumelwano setswayi esilaphakade phambi kweNkosi kuwe lakunzalo yakho kanye lawep.

20 INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Kawuyikudla ilifa elizweni labo, kawuyikuba lesabelo phakathi kwabo; ngiyisabelo sakho lelifa lakho phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeliq. 21 Khangela-ke, nginike abantwana bakoLevi konke okwetshumi koIsrayeli kube yilifa, ngomsebenzi wabo abawenzayor, inkonzo yethente lenhlanganos. 22 Njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bangabe besasondela ethenteni lenhlanganot hlezi bathwale isono bafeu. 23 Kodwa amaLevi azakwenza inkonzo yethente lenhlanganov, wona athwale ububi bawo. Kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu; laphakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kawayikuzuza ilifaw. 24 Ngoba okwetshumi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abakunikela eNkosini kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa, ngikunike amaLevi kube yilifax. Ngakho ngitshilo kiwo ukuthi phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli kawayikuzuza ilifay.

25 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi: 26 Futhi uzakhuluma kumaLevi uthi kuwo: Nxa lithatha ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli okwetshumi engilinike khona, kuvela kubo kube yilifa lenu, lizanikela kokwakho umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kube ngokwetshumi kwalokho okwetshumiz. 27 Lomnikelo wenu wokuphakanyiswa uzabalelwa lina, njengamabele ebala lokubhulela lanjengokugcwala kwesikhamelo sewayinia. 28 Ngalokhu lani lizanikela umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi kukho konke okwetshumi kwenu elikwemukelayo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli; lizanika kokwayo umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kuAroni umpristi. 29 Kuzo zonke izipho zenu lizanikela wonke umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi; ekhethelweni lonke lazo, ingxenye yayo engcwelisiweyo evela kuyo. 30 Futhi uzakuthi kuwo: Lapho linikela ikhethelo lazo elivela kuzo, kuzabalelwa amaLevi njengesivuno sebala lokubhulela lanjengesivuno sesikhamelo sewayinib. 31 Lizakudla lokho endaweni zonke, lina lendlu yenu, ngoba kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu ethenteni lenhlanganoc. 32 Njalo kaliyikuthwala isono ngenxa yakho, lapho seliphakamisile ikhethelo lakho kukhod; kaliyikungcolisa izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuze lingafie.
