U-EKSODUSI 30
I-aldari lokutjhisela itjhwalo
1USomnini wathi kuMosi: “Yenza i-aldari lokutjhisela itjhwalo ngomuthi womtholo. 2Alibe sikwere ngaphezulu okutjho isiquntu semitha ubude nesiquntu semitha ububanzi. Libe ngaphasi kwemitha ukuphakama, iimpundu zalo zilingane nalo. 3Ulinameke ngegolidembala ngaphezulu nemahlangothini walo kanye neempundu zalo. Umphethwalo uwenze ngegolide. 4Ulenzele amasongo wegolide abe ngaphasi komphetho walo. Kube masongo amabili ngehlangothini linye namabili ngehlangothini elifulatheleko. Azakuba ziimphatho zalo lapha kufakwa khona iingodo zokulithwala. 5Ulungise iingodo zomuthi womtholo bese uzinameka ngegolide. 6Beka i-aldarelo ngaphambi kwesiyaya sendawo ecwenge khulu, lapha kunomfaji wobufakazi khona. Ulibeke lapha ngizakuhlangana nawe khona okutjho ngaphambi kwesisibekelo somfaji esisibekela ubufakazi. 7U-Aroni uzakutjhisela kilo amakha wetjhwalo njalo ekuseni ngesikhathi sokucima iimbani abe azilungise. 8Godu awatjhise ngamarhwaqela lokha nakhanyisa iimbani. Umphristi omkhulu akatjhise amakha wetjhwalo imihla ngemihla phambi kwakaSomnini iinzukulwana ngeenzukulwana. 9Ungenzeli kilo itjhwalo elingakacwengi, umhlabelo wokutjhiswa nomnikelo weenthoro. Ungalingi wenzele kilo umnikelo wokuselwako. 10U-Aroni uzakuninda iimpundu zalo ngeengazi zomhlabelo wehlambululo kanye ngomnyaka. Qobe mnyaka uzakwenza ngaleyondlela itethelelo kilo. I-aldarelo licwenge khulu kuSomnini.”
Iimfanelo zomnyaka zokulotjha ethaberinakelini
11USomnini wathi kuMosi: 12“Lokha nawubala ama-Israyeli bona utlolise amadoda wepi, omunye nomunye wawo uzakuhlawulela ipilwakhe kuSomnini. Enze njalo ukuze kungabi namatshwenyeko phakathi kwawo lokha natloliswako. 13Omunye nomunye otlolisweko uzakunikela ngalokhu: amagremu asithandathu wesiliva ukuya ngokwesilinganiso sendawo ecwengileko kube mnikelo kaSomnini. 14Woke umuntu otlolisweko, ukusuka koneminyaka ematjhumi amabili ukuya phezulu uzakunikela umnikelo kaSomnini. 15Lokha naninikela umnikelo kaSomnini ukuze nizenzele itethelelo, abanesabo banganikeli ngaphezu kwamagremu asithandathu nabadududu banganikeli ngaphasi kwamagremu asithandathu. 16Uthathe isiliva yomnikelo wetethelelo kuma-Israyeli ibe ngeyomsebenzi wetende lokuhlanganela. Isiliva leyo izakuba sikhumbuzo sama-Israyeli phambi kwakaSomnini kobana nizenzele itethelelo.”
Isitja sekoporo
17USomnini wathi kuMosi: 18“Godu yenza isitja sekoporo sibe nesinzinziso sekoporo kube ngesokuhlambela. Usibeke hlangana netende lokuhlanganela ne-aldari lomhlabelo. Uthele amanzi ngaphakathi kwaso 19ukuze u-Aroni namadodanakhe bahlambele khona izandla neenyawo zabo lapho. 20Abahlambe lokha nabaya ngetendeni lokuhlanganela, namkha nabatjhidela e-aldarini kobana balotjhe nalokha nabatjhisela uSomnini umnikelo. Nakungasinjalo bazakufa. 21Abahlambe izandla neenyawo zabo, nakungasinjalo bazakufa. Lokhu kuzakuba simiso sanini nanini kibo ngitjho nakuye kube ziinzukulwana ngeenzukulwana.”
Amafutha wokuzesa kanye netjhwalo
22USomnini godu wathi kuMosi: 23“Zithathele iinthako eziphambili zalokhu: amakhilogremu asithandathu wemire emagiqana, isinamoni nomgaba okuzizinto ezinuka kamnandi, zibe makhilogremu amathathu ngayinye, 24amakhilogremu asithandathu wegcolo lomuthi wekhasiya ukuya ngokwesilinganiso sendawo ecwengileko kanye namalitha asithandathu nesiquntu wamafutha we-oliva. 25Uthathe koke lokhu wenze ngakho amafutha wokuzesa ahlukaniselweko kube mvango okhethekileko. Ulungise umvango lowo ube njengowomvangi weenhlahla. Uthathe amafutha wokuzesa ahlukaniselweko lawo, 26uzese ngawo itende lokuhlanganela, umfaji wobufakazi, 27itafula nezitja zakhona zoke, ilithi leembani nezitja zakhona, i-aldari letjhwalo, 28i-aldari lomhlabelo wokutjhiswa nazo zoke izitja zakhona kanye nesitja sokuhlambela nesinzinziso sakhona 29ukuze kube ngokucwengileko. Iye, kuzakuba ngokucwenge khulu kangangobana nanyana yini ekuthintako izakucwenga.
30“Uzese u-Aroni namadodanakhe, ubahlukanisele ukuze babe baphristi bami. 31Bese uthi kuma-Israyeli, ‘Lokhu kuzakuba mafutha akhethekileko wokuzesa kibo boke abaphristi bangomuso. 32Ningazesi nanyana ngubani, godu ningenzi amanye afana nawo ngeenthako. Amafutha la akhethekile, nakini akabe ngakhethekileko. 33Nanyana ngubani ozenzela wakhe afana nawo namkha azese ngawo nanyana ngubani ongakahlukaniselwa, uzakujutjwa ebantwini bekhabo.’ ”
34USomnini godu wathi kuMosi: “Zithathele iinthako ezilinganako zamakha alandelako: uburegu bomuthi webhalisamu, inovu enuka kamnandi ye-onikha neyegalibhanumu kanye noburegu obutsengileko bomuthi welebhona. 35Ngeenthakwezo wenze itjhwalo libe inga lenziwe muvangi weenhlahla. Ulinunge ngetswayi elihlanzekileko nelikhethekileko. 36Ukghadlhe ingcenye yazo zibe ziinquqwana bese uzibeka ngaphambi kobufakazi ngetendeni lokuhlanganela lapha ngizakuhlangana nawe khona. Itjhwalweli lizakuba ngelikhetheke khulu kini. 37Itjhwalo enizolenza ukuya ngeenthako zalo ningazenzeli nina. Ngakini lizakuba ngelikhethekileko kuSomnini. 38Nanyana ngubani owenza elifana nalo kobana alisebenzise njengamakha wakhe uzakujutjwa ebantwini bekhabo.”
