Kumiswa nekunikelwa kwelithende lekukhontela
1Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: 2“Ngelilanga lekucala enyangeni yekucala ubomisa lithende lekukhontela, lekulithende lekuhlangana. 3Ekhatsi kwalo ubobeka libhokisi lesivumelwane lelinemiyalo lelishumi, bese ulivimba ngendvwangu embikwalo. 4Ubongenisa lelitafula, uhlelise kahle konkhe loko lokufanele kubekwe etikwalo. Ubongenisa nalolutsi lwetibane, bese ufaka letibane lapha kulo. 5Lilati legolide lekushisela imphepho ubolibeka embikwalelibhokisi lesivumelwane, ulengise lendvwangu ekungeneni kwalelithende lekukhontela. 6Embikwelithende lekukhontela ubobeka lilati lekushisela umnikelo. 7Emkhatsini welithende lekuhlangana nelilati ubobeka umgezelo, uwugcwalise ngemanti. 8Sibuya ubosakha, ufake nendvwangu ilenge emnyango waso.
9“Lithende lekukhontela kanye nako konkhe lokuhambisana nalo ubobe sewuyakunikela ngekukugcoba ngemafutsa langcwele, kutawuba ngcwele. 10Emvakwaloko lelilati lemnikelo wekushiswa nako konkhe lokuhambisana nako ubokugcoba ngemafutsa ukunikele kutawube sekuba ngcwele ngalokuphelele. 11Umgezelo kanye nesibunu sawo nako ubokugcoba ngemafutsa ukunikele kube ngcwele.
12“Uboletsa Aroni nemadvodzana akhe ekungeneni kwelithende lekuhlangana, ubatjele bafike batihlambulule lapho. 13Ubogcokisa Aroni ngetembatfo tebuphristi, bese uyamgcoba abe ngcwele, khona atewungikhonta njengemphristi. 14Uboletsa nalamadvodzana akhe nawo uwagcokise tingubo tawo letingenamkhono. 15Nawo lamadvodzana ubowagcoba, njengobe ugcobe uyise, khona nawo atewungikhonta njengebaphristi. Lomgcobo utawubenta babe baphristi titukulwane ngetitukulwane.”
16Mosi wakwenta konkhe loko njengobe Simakadze abemyalile. 17Ngako-ke ngelilanga lekucala enyangeni yekucala emnyakeni wesibili baphumile eGibhithe lithende lekukhontela lemiswa laphela. 18Mosi walakha lithende lekukhontela: wabeka emaseko alo, wemisa tinsikabhaluko talo netinsika talo, wafaka nemakabha alo. 19Wase uyakumbonya konkhe loko ngetimbonyo leto letehlukene, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile. 20Watsatsa tibhelekeca tematje letimbili watifaka ebhokisini lesivumelwane. Wafaka letimboko kulamajiva alo, wase ulimbonya ngesihlalo semusa. 21Libhokisi lesivumelwane walifaka ekhatsi ethendeni lekukhontela, walengisa indvwangu yekulifihla livalekile, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
22Litafula walifaka ekhatsi ethendeni lekuhlangana ngasenyakatfo, ngaphandle kwendvwangu, 23wabeka etikwalo sinkhwa sebukhona, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile. 24Wabeka lutsi lwetibane ethendeni lekuhlangana ngaseningizimu macondzana nelitafula, 25wase ukhanyisa letibane embikwaSimakadze, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
26Lelilati legolide walibeka ethendeni lekuhlangana embikwayo lendvwangu, 27wase ushisa lemphepho lenuka kamnandzi, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile. 28Indvwangu wayilengisa ekungeneni kwelithende lekukhontela, 29kwase kutsi embikwalendvwangu wabeka lilati lekushisela umnikelo. Etikwalo wanikela ngemnikelo wekushiswa, nangemnikelo walokutinhlavu, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
30Wabeka umgezelo emkhatsini welithende lekuhlangana nelilati, wawugcwalisa ngemanti ekugeza. 31Mosi, na-Aroni, nemadvodzana akhe babegezela kuwo tandla tabo netinyawo 32njalo nje nabangena ethendeni lekuhlangana nome nabasondzela elatini, njengobe Simakadze abeyale Mosi. 33Mosi wakha sibuya, satungeleta lithende lekukhontela nelilati ndzawo tonkhe, walengisa indvwangu emnyango wesibuya. Ngako-ke Mosi wawucedza wonkhe umsebenti.
Lifu lisibekela lithende lekukhontela
34Lifu lasibekela lithende lekuhlangana, inkhatimulo yaSimakadze yagcwalisa lithende lekukhontela. 35Loko kwenta kutsi Mosi ehluleke kungena ethendeni lekuhlangana, ngobe lifu lase lilisibekele. Lithende lekukhontela lase ligcwele inkhatimulo yaSimakadze.
36Lalitsi lelifu lingaphakama, ema-Israyeli atfutse ayekucaba embili. 37Abengatfutsi nangabe lelifu lingakesuki etikwalelithende lekukhontela. 38Kulo lonkhe luhambo lwabo lifu laSimakadze emini lalibonakala etikwalelithende lekukhontela, kutsi ebusuku libe ngumlilo lovutsako etikwalo, onkhe ema-Israyeli abuka.
