1 Yiyo le into owoyenza kubo yokubangcwalisa, ukuba babe ngababingeleli kum: Thabatha inkunzi entsha, ithole lenkomo, neenkunzi zezimvu ezigqibeleleyo zibe mbini;2 nesonka esingenagwele, nemiqhathane engenagwele egalelwe ioli, nezonkana ezisicaba, ezingenagwele, zithanjiswe ngeoli: uzenze ngomgubo ocoliweyo.3 Wozibeka ngobozini-nye, uzisondeze ngengobozi leyo, kwanenkunzi entsha yenkomo, neenkunzi zezimvu zombini.4 UAron noonyana bakhe uze ubasondeze emnyango wentente yokuhlangana, ubahlambe ngamanzi;5 uzithabathe izambatho, umnxibe uAron ingubo engaphantsi, nengubo yokwaleka ye-efodi, ne-efodi, nobengo, umbhinqise ngombhinqo we-efodi;6 umbeke unkontsho entlokweni yakhe, ubeke isithsaba esingcwele elunkontshweni olo.7 Uze uthabathe ioli yentambiso, uyithululele entlokweni yakhe, umthambise.8 Oonyana bakhe ke wobasondeza, ubanxibe iingubo zangaphantsi;9 ubabhinqise umbhinqo, uAron noonyana bakhe, ubanxibe iminqwazi, bube bobabo ububingeleli, bube ngummiselo ongunaphakade; ubamisele uAron noonyana bakhe.10 Uze uyisondeze inkunzi entsha phambi kwentente yokuhlangana, uAron noonyana bakhe bacinezele ngezandla zabo entlokweni yenkunzi entsha.11 Woyixhela inkunzi entsha phambi koYehova emnyango wentente yokuhlangana,12 ucaphule egazini lenkunzi entsha, uliqabe ezimpondweni zesibingelelo ngomnwe wakho; lonke igazi uliphalazele esisekweni sesibingelelo;13 uthabathe wonke umhlehlo ogubungele izibilini, nomhlehlo ophezu kwesibindi, nezintso zombini, nenqatha lazo, uqhumisele ngazo esibingelelweni.14 Yona inyama yenkunzi entsha, nesikhumba sayo, nomswane wayo, wozitshisa ezo zinto ngomlilo, ngaphandle kweminquba yenu. Lidini lesono elo.15 Woyithabatha enye inkunzi yemvu leyo, uAron noonyana bakhe bacinezele ngezandla zabo entlokweni yenkunzi yemvu leyo.16 Uze uyixhele inkunzi yemvu, ulithabathe igazi layo, ulitshize esibingelelweni, ujikelezise.17 Woyityatya inkunzi yemvu, uzihlambe izibilini zayo neentungo zayo, uzibeke phezu kweenyama zayo, naphezu kwentloko yayo;18 uqhumisele ngenkunzi yemvu iphela esibingelelweni. Elo lidini elinyukayo kuYehova, livumba elithozamisayo, kukudla kwasemlilweni kuYehova.19 Uze uyithabathe eyesibini inkunzi yemvu, uAron noonyana bakhe bacinezele ngezandla zabo entlokweni yenkunzi yemvu leyo.20 Woyixhela inkunzi yemvu, ucaphule egazini layo, uliqabe esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene ka-Aron, nasesithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yoonyana bakhe, nasesithupheni sesandla sabo sokunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwabo lwasekunene, ulitshize igazi esibingelelweni, ujikelezise;21 ucaphule egazini eliphezu kwesibingelelo, naseolini yentambiso, ulifefe kuAron, nasezambathweni zakhe, nakoonyana bakhe, nasezambathweni zoonyana bakhe ndawonye naye, bangcwaliswe ke, yena nezambatho zakhe, noonyana bakhe, nezambatho zoonyana bakhe ndawonye naye.22 Uze uthabathe enkunzini yemvu amanqatha, nomsila, nomhlehlo ogubungele izibilini, nomhlehlo ophezu kwesibindi, nezintso zombini, nenqatha lazo, nomlenze wasekunene; kuba yinkunzi yemvu yokumisela;23 nentendana yesonka, nomqhathane ogalelwe ioli ube mnye, nesonkana esisicaba sibe sinye, engobozini yezonka ezingenagwele eziphambi koYehova.24 Wozibeka zonke ezo zinto ezandleni zika-Aron, nasezandleni zoonyana bakhe, uzitshangatshangise, zibe ngumtshangatshangiso phambi koYehova;25 uzithabathe ezandleni zabo, uqhumisele ngazo esibingelelweni, phezu kwedini elinyukayo, zibe livumba elithozamisayo phambi koYehova. Oko kukudla kwasemlilweni kuYehova.26 Uze uthabathe incum yenkunzi yemvu yokumisela uAron, uyitshangatshangise ibe ngumtshangatshangiso phambi koYehova, sibe sisabelo sakho eso.27 Woyingcwalisa incum yomtshangatshangiso otshangatshangisiweyo, nomlenze womrhumo orhunyiweyo, enkunzini yemvu yokumisela uAron noonyana bakhe;28 ibe yeka-Aron noonyana bakhe; ibe ngummiselo ongunaphakade, iphuma koonyana bakaSirayeli, kuba ingumrhumo. Woba ngumrhumo ophuma koonyana bakaSirayeli emibingelelweni yabo yoxolo, umrhumo wabo kuYehova.29 Izambatho ezingcwele ezikuAron zoba zezoonyana bakhe emva kwakhe, bathanjiswe ngeoli bezambethe, bamiselwe kuzo.30 Lowo ungumbingeleli esikhundleni sakhe, koonyana bakhe, wozambatha imihla esixhenxe ekungeneni kwakhe ententeni yokuhlangana, ukuba alungiselele engcweleni.31 Inkunzi yemvu yokumisela uze uyithabathe, uyipheke inyama yayo endaweni engcwele;32 bayidle ooAron noonyana bakhe inyama yenkunzi yemvu, kwanesonka esisengobozini, emnyango wentente yokuhlangana.33 Ezo zinto, bekucanyagushwe ngazo, ukubamisela nokubangcwalisa, mabazidle; owasemzini makangazidli, kuba zingcwele.34 Ukuba kuthe kwasala nto enyameni yokumisela nasezonkeni, kwada kwasa, uze uyitshise ngomlilo loo nto iseleyo; ingadliwa, kuba ingcwele.35 Uze wenjenje kuAron nakoonyana bakhe ngokweento zonke endikuwisele umthetho ngazo; wobamisela iintsuku zibe sixhenxe.36 Uze wenze idini lesono ngenkunzi entsha imini ngemini, ukuze kucanyagushwe; isibingelelo usihlambulule isono ekusicamagusheleni kwakho, usithambise, singcwaliswe.37 Imihla yoba sixhenxe isibingelelo usicamagushela, usingcwalise, sibe sisibingelelo esiyingcwele kangcwele. Zonke izinto ezisichukumisayo isibingelelo eso zoba ngcwele.
38 Yiyo ke le into oya kuyibingelela esibingelelweni: ziimvana ezimnyaka mnye zibe mbini, imini ngemini amaxesha onke.39 Enye imvana woyibingelela kusasa, eyesibini imvana uyibingelele lakutshona ilanga.40 Kwimvana yokuqala uze wenze isahlulo seshumi se-efa yomgubo ocoliweyo, ugalelwe ioli engqushiweyo esisahlulo sesine sehin, ndawonye nomnikelo othululwayo osisahlulo sesine sehin yewayini.41 Eyesibini imvana woyibingelela lakutshona ilanga, uyenze ngokomnikelo wokudla wakusasa, nangokomnikelo walo othululwayo, ibe livumba elithozamisayo, ukudla kwasemlilweni kuYehova.42 Elo loba lidini elinyukayo lamaxesha onke kwizizukulwana zenu, emnyango wentente yokuhlangana phambi koYehova, apho ndiya kuhlangana nani khona, ndithethe nawe.43 Khona apho ndohlangana noonyana bakaSirayeli, bangcwaliswe ngobuqaqawuli bam;44 ndiyingcwalise intente yokuhlangana nesibingelelo, noAron noonyana bakhe ndibangcwalise, babe ngababingeleli bam.45 Ndohlala phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli, ndibe nguThixo wabo;46 bazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wabo, owabakhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa, ukuba ndihlale phakathi kwabo: ndinguYehova uThixo wabo.
