1Morena a ba a bua le Moše a re: 2“Bua le Arone o mo ree o re: ‘Fa o tlhoma dipone, a dipone tse supa di bonegele felo fa go fa pele ga setlhomo.’ ” 3Arone a dira jalo, a tlhoma dipone di lebile felo fa go fa pele ga setlhomo jaaka Morena a laetse Moše. 4Setlhomo se ne se dirilwe jaana: E ne e le sa gouta e e batotsweng; le matshwaro a sona le dithunya tsa sone e ne e le tsa gouta e e batotsweng. Moše o ne a dirile setlhomo ka fa setshwantshong se Morena a se mmontshitseng.
Itshekiso ya Balefi
5Morena a ba a raya Moše a re: 6“Tsaya Balefi mo Baiseraeleng, o ba itshekise. 7O ba direle jaana go ba itshekisa: Ba kgatshe ka metsi a phepafatso, mme a ba ipeole mmele otlhe ka logare, ba tlhatswe diaparo tsa bone, ba iitshekise jalo. 8Ba be ba tsee poana le tshupelo ya dijo ya teng ya bupe jo bo boleta jo bo dubilweng ka lookwane; o be o tsee poana ya bobedi ya setlhabelo sa boleo. 9O be o atametse Balefi fa pele ga Tente ya Boipontsho, o phuthe phuthego yotlhe ya Baiseraele. 10O be o atametse Balefi fa pele ga Morena, mme a Baiseraele ba bee diatla mo Balefing. 11Jaanong Arone a kgadikanye Balefi gore ba nne tshupelo ya kgadikanyo fa pele ga Morena e e tswang mo Baiseraeleng gore e nne ba ba dirang tsa tirelo ya Morena. 12Jaanong Balefi ba bee diatla mo ditlhogong tsa dipoana, o be o direle Morena nngwe go nna setlhabelo sa boleo le ya bobedi go nna setlhabelo sa phiso go batlela Balefi boitshwarelo.
13“O be o emise Balefi fa pele ga Arone le fa pele ga bomorwawe, o ba kgadikanye go nna tshupelo ya kgadikanyo ya Morena. 14O ntshe Balefi jalo mo Baiseraeleng gore Balefi e nne ba me. 15Morago ga moo Balefi ba ka tsena go direla mo Tenteng ya Boipontsho. Jaanong he, ba itshekise jalo, o ba kgadikanye go nna tshupelo ya kgadikanyo. 16Gonne ke ba filwe gotlhe ba tswa mo Baiseraeleng, ke ba itseetse boemong jwa botlhe ba bommaabo ba itibolang ka bone, e bong bana ba ntlha botlhe ba Baiseraele. 17Gonne maitibolo otlhe mo Baiseraeleng ke a me a batho le a diruiwa; ke ne ka a iitshepisetsa ka letsatsi le ke bolaileng maitibolo otlhe a lefatshe la Egepeto ka lone. 18Ka amogela Balefi mo boemong jwa batsalwapele botlhe mo Baiseraeleng. 19Jaanong Balefi ka ba neela Arone le bomorwawe go nna ba bone ba tswa mo Baiseraeleng gore ba dire tsa tirelo-Modimo ya Baiseraele kwa Tenteng ya Boipontsho le go batlela Baiseraele boitshwarelo gore go se nne petso mo Baiseraeleng, fa ba atamela Felo-ga-Boitshepo.”
20Ke fa Moše le Arone le phuthego yotlhe ya Baiseraele ba dira ka Balefi fela jaaka Morena a laetse Moše ka ga Balefi; Baiseraele ba dira jalo ka bone. 21Mme Balefi ba iitshekisa boleo, ba tlhatswa diaparo tsa bone, mme Arone a ba kgadikanya go nna tshupelo ya kgadikanyo fa pele ga Morena; a ba a ba ruanya go ba itshekisa. 22Morago ga moo Balefi ba tsena go dira tsa tirelo ya bone kwa Tenteng ya Boipontsho, ba okametswe ke Arone le bomorwawe. Ba direla Balefi jaaka Morena a laetse Moše ka ga bone.
23Morena a ba a raya Moše a re: 24“Ke ona molao o o tshwanetseng Balefi: Go simolola ka yo o dinyaga di le 25 le yo o fetileng foo o tshwanetse go tsena tirong kwa tirelong ya Tente ya Boipontsho. 25Mme a e re a le dinyaga di le 50, a ikhutsisiwe mo tirelong ya Tempelana, a se tlhole a dira. 26A ka nna a thusa ba ga gabo kwa Tenteng ya Boipontsho ka go tlhokomela ditshwanelo, fela tiro a se ka a e dira. O dire jalo ka Balefi mabapi le ditshwanelo tsa bone.”
