1“Nangabe umuntfu aletsa kuSimakadze umnikelo walokutinhlavu, kufanele kube yimphuphu lecolisakele. Kufanele afake emafutsa emncumo kanye nemphepho, 2bese ukuletsa kumadvodzana a-Aroni labaphristi. Umphristi utawukha libinta lemphuphu kanye nemafutsa emncumo, nemphepho yawo yonkhe akushisele etikwelilati kube sikhumbuto, umnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo, kube liphunga lelinuka lusi lolumnandzi kuSimakadaze. 3Yonkhe lemphuphu lesele itawuba ya-Aroni nemadvodzana akhe; ingcwele, ngobe itsetfwe ekudleni bekunikelwe ngemlilo kuSimakadze.
4“Nangabe uletsa umnikelo walokutinhlavu longumpotongwane lophekiwe, kufanele kube ngulote imbiliso, lowentiwe ngafulaha wabhicwa nemafutsa emncumo nome-ke kube ngimicatsane legcotjiswe ngalawo mafutsa.
5“Nangabe lomnikelo walokutinhlavu utfoswa ngelikesi, kufanele wentiwe ngafulaha lobhicwe nemafutsa emncumo kodvwa kubete imbiliso lefakwako. 6Kufanele uhleshulwe ube ticucu bese utselwa ngemafutsa. Lowo-ke ngumnikelo walokutinhlavu.
7“Nangabe lomnikelo walokutinhlavu uphekwe ngelibhodo, kufanele wentiwe ngafulaha nemafutsa emncumo. 8Uboletsa kuSimakadze lomnikelo walokutinhlavu lowentiwe ngaleto tintfo, uwetfule kumphristi kucala, yena-ke utawumikisa elatini. 9Umphristi utawutsatsa licashana lawo libe sikhumbuto bese ulishisela elatini, kube ngumnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo, liphunga lelinuka lusi lolumnandzi kuSimakadze. 10Incenye yawo lesele iyawuba sabelo sa-Aroni nemadvodzana akhe; ingcwele kakhulu ngobe itsetfwe emnikelweni lowentiwa ngemlilo kuSimakadze.
11“Konkhe lokutinhlavu lokunikelwa kuSimakadze akuyiwufakwa imbiliso; ningacali nikufake imbiliso nome luju lwetinyosi kuloko lokunikelwa kuSimakadze ngemlilo. 12Niyawukuletsa kuSimakadze njengemnikelo losivuno sekwendvulelisa, kodvwa ngeke sishiselwe elatini kutsi sibe liphunga lelinuka lusi lolumnandzi kuye. 13Wonkhe umnikelo wenu walokutinhlavu nibowuvanga ngeluswayi. Ningacali nilushiye luswayi lwesivumelwane saNkulunkulu eminikelweni yenu yalokutinhlavu. Kufanele niyifake luswayi yonkhe iminikelo yenu. 14Nawuletsa umnikelo walokutinhlavu wesivuno sekwendvulelisa kuSimakadze, ubonikela ngako kulukhotse. 15Ubengeta emafutsa emncumo kanye nemphepho; lowo ngumnikelo walokutinhlavu. 16Umphristi uyawushisa incenye yalokutinhlavu ibe sikhumbuto, ayishise kanye nemafutsa, nemphepho; loko-ke ngumnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuSimakadze.”
