AmaSirayeli akhonza ithole legolide
1Ke babona abantu ukuba uMoses ulibele, akehli entabeni; bababizela ndawonye abantu kuAron, bathi kuye, Sukume, usenzele uthixo oya kuhamba phambi kwethu; kuba lo Moses, le ndoda yasinyusayo ezweni laseYiputa, asazi ukuba uhlelwe yintoni na. 2Wathi uAron kubo, Qhawulani amajikazi egolide, asezindlebeni zabafazi benu, noonyana benu, neentombi zenu, niwazise kum. 3Bawaqhawula ke abantu bonke amajikazi egolide abesezindlebeni zabo, bawazisa kuAron.
4Wawathabatha ezandleni zabo, wayikrola igolide ngentlabo, wayenza ithole elityhidiweyo. Bathi, Nanko uthixo wakho, Sirayeli, okunyusileyo ezweni laseYiputa! 5Wabona uAron, wákha isibingelelo phambi kwalo; wadanduluka uAron wathi, Ngumthendeleko kuYehova ngomso. 6Bavuka kusasa ngengomso, banyusa amadini anyukayo, basondeza imibingelelo yoxolo; bahlala phantsi abantu, badla basela, besuka bema, badlala.
7Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Hamba uhle; kuba abantu bakho, owabanyusayo ezweni laseYiputa, bonakalisile; 8batyeké msinya endleleni endabawisela umthetho ngayo; bazenzéle ithole elityhidiweyo, balinqula, babingelela kulo, bathi, Nanko uthixo wakho, Sirayeli, okunyusileyo ezweni laseYiputa. 9Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Ndibakhangéle aba bantu; uyabona, ngabantu abantamo ilukhuni. 10Kaloku ndíyeke, uvuthe umsindo wam kubo, ndibadle, ndenze wena uhlanga olukhulu.
11UMoses wambongoza uYehova uThixo wakhe, wathi, Yini na, Yehova, ukuba uvuthe umsindo wakho kubantu bakho, obakhuphileyo ezweni laseYiputa ngamandla amakhulu, nangesandla esithe nkqi? 12Yini na ukuba amaYiputa atsho ukuthi, Wabakhuphela ububi, ukuze ababulalele ezintabeni, abagqibele bemke emhlabeni? Buya ekuvutheni komsindo wakho, uzohlwaye ngobubi obo ngenxa yabantu bakho. 13Khumbula uAbraham noIsake noSirayeli, abakhonzi bakho, owazifunga ngokwakho kubo, wathi kubo, Ndiya kuyandisa imbewu yenu ibe njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, neli lizwe lonke ndithethileyo ngalo, ndiya kulinika imbewu yenu, ilidle ilifa ngonaphakade.
14Wazohlwaya ke uYehova ngobubi abethe uya kubenza ebantwini bakhe.
15Wajika uMoses, wehla entabeni, enamacwecwe omabini esingqino esandleni sakhe, amacwecwe lawo ebhalwe ngamacala omabini, ebhalwe ngapha nangapha. 16Amacwecwe lawo ebengumsebenzi kaThixo, nombhalo lowo ubungumbhalo kaThixo ukroliwe emacwecweni. 17Waliva uYoshuwa izwi labantu ekudumeni kwabo, wathi kuMoses, Lilizwi lemfazwe eminqubeni. 18Wathi yena, Àsilizwi lakuduma kwabeyisayo, àsilizwi lakukhala kwabeyiswayo; lilizwi labahlabelayo nabavumayo, endilivayo mna. 19Kwathi, xa asondelayo eminqubeni, walibona ithole nomdudo. Wavutha umsindo kaMoses, wawalahla amacwecwe, wawaqhekeza emazantsi entaba. 20Walithabatha ithole ababelenzile, walitshisa ngomlilo, walisila lada lacoleka, waligcwayela emanzini, waseza oonyana bakaSirayeli.
21Wathi uMoses kuAron, Benzé ntoni na aba bantu kuwe, ukuba ubazisele isono esikhulu kangaka? 22Wathi uAron, Umsindo wenkosi yam mawungavuthi. Wena uyabazi aba bantu, ukuba banobubi. 23Bâthi kum, Senzele uthixo oya kuhamba phambi kwethu; kuba lo Moses, le ndoda yasinyusayo ezweni laseYiputa, asazi ukuba uhlelwe yintoni na. 24Ndathi kubo, Ubani onegolide makayiqhawule; bandinika ke. Ndayiphosa emlilweni kwaphuma eli thole.
25Wababona uMoses abantu, ukuba baqhawule umkhala (kuba uAron ebebaqhawulisile umkhala, ukuba babe yintlekisa phakathi kwâbo bachasene nabo); 26wema uMoses ekungeneni eminqubeni, wathi, OngakuYehova makeze kum apha. Bantontelana kuye bonke oonyana bakaLevi. 27Wathi kubo, Ùtsho uYehova uThixo wakwaSirayeli, ukuthi, Mabanxibe elowo ikrele lakhe ethangéni lakhe, bathunge bephuma emasangweni eminquba, babulale elowo umzalwana wakhe, elowo uwabo, elowo ummelwane wakhe. 28Benza oonyana bakaLevi ngokwelizwi likaMoses; kwawa ebantwini loo mini ngathi ngamawaka omathathu amadoda. 29Wathi uMoses, Zimiseleni namhla kuYehova, ukuba umntu achase unyana wakhe nomzalwana wakhe, ithotywe namhla intsikelelo phezu kwenu.
30Kwathi ngengomso, uMoses wathi ebantwini, Nonile nina, nenza isono esikhulu; ndiya kunyuka ngoku ndiye kuYehova; mhlawumbi ndingácamagusha ngenxa yesono senu.
31UMoses wabuya waya kuYehova, wathi, Yoo! Aba bantu bonile, benza isono esikhulu, bazenzela uthixo ngegolide. 32Khawusixolele ngoko isono sabo; ukuba akunakuba njalo, wose undicima encwadini yakho oyibhalileyo. 33Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Ubani osukuba onile kum, ndiya kucima yena encwadini yam. 34Ke ngoko hamba ubalathise abantu, baye kuloo ndawo ndathethayo ngayo kuwe. Yabona, isithunywa sam sohamba phambi kwakho; ke mini ndivelelayo, ndiya kusivelela isono sabo kubo.
35Ke uYehova wababulala abantu ngenxa yokuba belenzile ithole elo walenzayo uAron.
