Indawo engcwele mayingahlanjelwa
1Wandibuyisa ngendlela yesango lengcwele elingaphandle, elibheké empumalanga; laye livaliwe. 2UYehova wathi kum, Eli sango liya kuhlala livaliwe; aliyi kuvulwa, akuyi kungena mntu ngalo; ngokuba uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli ungené ngalo; liya kuhlala livaliwe ke. 3Isikhulu, sisikhulu nje, siya kuhlala kulo, ukuba sidle ukudla phambi koYehova. Songena ngendlela yasevarandeni• yesango, siphume kwangendlela yayo.
4Wandisa ngendlela yesango langasentla, ebeyiphambi kwayo indlu; ndakhangela, nabo ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova buyizalisile indlu kaYehova; ndawa ngobuso. 5Wathi kum uYehova, Nyana womntu, gqala ngentliziyo yakho, ubone ngamehlo akho, uve ngeendlebe zakho, konke endisukuba ndikuthetha kuwe, ngokusingisele kwimimiselo yonke yendlu kaYehova, nangokusingisele kwimiyalelo yayo yonke; ukúgqale ngentliziyo yakho ukungena endlwini le, ezindaweni zonke zengcwele ekuphunywa ngazo.
6Uze uthi kwabaneenkani, kwabendlu kaSirayeli, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yanelani, ndlu kaSirayeli, ngamasikizi enu onke, 7okubangenisa kwenu oonyana bolunye uhlanga, abangalukileyo ngentliziyo, abangalukileyo ngenyama, ukuba babe sengcweleni yam, ukuba bayihlambele indlu yam le, nakùsondeza ukudla kwam, amanqatha negazi. Umnqophiso wam nawaphula ke phezu kwamasikizi enu onke; 8ànasigcina isigxina sengcwele yam; nabamisa abayá ukuba banigcinele isigxina sam engcweleni yam.
9Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Bonke oonyana bolunye uhlanga, abangalukileyo ngentliziyo, abangalukileyo ngenyama, abayi kungena engcweleni yam, bakubo bonke oonyana bolunye uhlanga, abaphakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
10Ke kwanabaLevi, abakhweleláyo kude kum, ekundwendweni kwamaSirayeli awandwendwáyo kum, alandela izigodo zawo, aya kubuthwala ubugwenxa bawo. 11Baya kwanela ukuba ngabalungiseleli engcweleni yam, bengabaveleli bamasango endlu le, belungiselela endlwini le. Abo baya kuxhelela abantu idini elinyukayo nombingelelo, bona beme phambi kwabo, ukuba babalungiselele. 12Ngenxa enokuba babalungiseleláyo phambi kwezigodo zabo, baba sisikhubekiso sobugwenxa kwindlu kaSirayeli, ngenxa yoko ndibaphakamisele isandla sam, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ukuba babuthwale ubugwenxa babo. 13Abayi kufika kum, ukuba benzelelele kum, bangafiki kwiingcwele zam zonke, kwingcwele kangcwele yam; baya kuthwala ke ihlazo labo namasikizi abo abawenzileyo. 14Ndobenza babe ngabagcini besigxina sendlu le ngokwenkonzo yayo yonke, nangokwezinto zonke ezenzelwa kuyo.
Imimiselo yababingeleli
15Ke bona ababingeleli abaLevi, oonyana bakaTsadoki, abasigcináyo isigxina sengcwele yam, ekundwendweni koonyana bakaSirayeli kum, bosondela bona kum, ukuba bandilungiselele, beme phambi kwam, ukuba basondeze kum inqatha negazi; itsho iNkosi uYehova. 16Bongena bona engcweleni yam, basondele bona esithebeni sam, ukuba bandilungiselele, bagcine isigxina sam.
17Kothi, ekungeneni kwabo ngamasango entendelezo ephakathi, bambathe iingubo zelinen; kungabikho nto yoboya kubo ekulungiseleleni kwabo emasangweni entendelezo ephakathi, naxa bakuyo indlu. 18Zoba ziinkontsho zelinen ezintlokweni zabo, ibe ziibhulukhwe zelinen ezinqeni zabo; abayi kubhinqa, bazibilise. 19Bothi, ekuphumeni kwabo, besinga entendelezweni engaphandle, entendelezweni engaphandle besiya ebantwini, bazihlube iingubo zabo ababelungiselela benazo, bezibeke emagumbini angcwele, bambathe ngubo zimbi, bangàbangcwalisi abantu ngeengubo zabo.
20Mabangazichebi iintloko, bangaziyeki iinwele zabo zibe ngamayakayaka; bozinquthula iintloko. 21Mabangaseli wayini bonke ababingeleli ekungeneni kwabo entendelezweni ephakathi. 22Umhlolokazi nomfazi owaliweyo mabangabazeki babe ngabafazi babo; bozeka iintombi eziziintombi kwimbewu yendlu kaSirayeli, kwanomhlolokazi othe waba ngumhlolokazi wombingeleli. 23Bobayala abantu bam, ukuba bahlule okungcwele kokuhlambeleyo, babazíse okuyinqambi nokuhlambulukileyo.
24Ekubambaneni kwabantu mabeme bona, bagwebe ngokwamasiko am, bagcine imiyalelo yam nemimiselo yam ngamaxesha am onke amisiweyo, bazingcwalise iisabatha zam.
25Mabangayi emntwini ofileyo, bazenze iinqambi; kungába kungoyise, nonina, nonyana, nentombi yabo, nomzalwana, nodade wabo ongabanga nandoda, abangázenza iinqambi ngabo, bona bodwa. 26Bombalela imihla esixhenxe emva kokuhlanjululwa kwakhe. 27Ngomhla ke wokungena kwakhe engcweleni, entendelezweni ephakathi, ukuze alungiselele engcweleni, wosondeza idini lakhe lesono; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
Ilifa lababingeleli
28Oko koba lilifa labo, ibe ndim ilifa labo; ningabaniki nzuzo kwaSirayeli; ndim inzuzo yabo. 29Umnikelo wokudla, nedini lesono, nedini letyala, bodla ezo zinto bona; zonke izinto ezisingelwe phantsi kwaSirayeli ziya kuba zezabo. 30Iingqalo zeentlahlela zonke ezintweni zonke, nemirhumo yonke yeento zonke, kwimirhumo yenu yonke, yoba yeyababingeleli; nengqalo yomgrayo wenu noyinika umbingeleli, ukuze ahlise intsikelelo phezu kwendlu yakho.
31Ababingeleli abayi kudla nto izifeleyo neqwengiweyo, nokuba kusezintakeni, nokuba kusezinkomeni.
