1INkosi yasisithi kuAroni: Wena, lamadodana akho, lesizwe sikayihlo, lizakuthwala ububi obenziwayo endlini engcwele; futhi wena lamadodana akho lizakuthwala ububi ngobupristi benu.
2Labafowenu, isizwe sakoLevi, esiyisizwe sikayihlo, kabafike lawe ukuba bahlangane lawe, bakusize wena lamadodana akho ngaphambi kwethente lobufakazi.
3Bazakukusiza, benze yonke imisebenzi yethente; kodwa kabayikusondela ezitsheni zendlu engcwele lasealtareni, ukuze bangafi, lani lingafi.
4Bazahlangana lawe, balondoloze ithente lokuhlangana kuyo yonke inkonzo yethente; kodwa omunye umuntu ongelasikhundla kayikusondela kuwe.
5Lizakwenza imisebenzi yendlu engcwele lemisebenzi yealtare, ukuba ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lungabe lusaba khona phezu kwabakoIsrayeli.
6Khangelani, ngithethe amaLevi angabazalwane benu phakathi kwabakoIsrayeli; ayisipho kini, enikelwe eNkosini ukwenza inkonzo yethente lokuhlangana.
7Wena lamadodana akho lizakwenza imisebenzi yenu yobupristi kukho konke okuqondene lealtare lalokho okungaphakathi kweveli, likhonze. Ngiyalinika ubupristi bube yisipho; kodwa umuntu ongelasikhundla osondelayo uzakubulawa.
8INkosi yathi kuAroni: Mina Nkosi ngikunike ukuba uphathe iminikelo enikelwe kimi, zonke izinto ezingcwele zabakoIsrayeli; ngizinikile wena lamadodana akho zibe yisabelo senu, ngesimiso esingelakuphela.
9Lokhu kuzakuba ngokwakho ezintweni ezingcwele kakhulu, ezingafakwa emlilweni wealtare; yonke iminikelo yabo, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yempuphu, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yesono, layo yonke iminikelo yabo yecala abayinikela kimi, izakuba ngcwele kakhulu, ibe ngeyakho leyamadodana akho.
10Lizakudla lokhu njengokufaneleyo; bonke abesilisa bangakudla; kungcwele kuwe.
11Futhi kungokwakho lalokhu, iminikelo yonke yokuzunguzwa yabantu bakoIsrayeli. Ngikunikile wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho ngesimiso esingelakuphela. Bonke abahlambulukileyo endlini yakho bangakudla.
12Lonke ikhethelo lamafutha, lekhethelo lonke lewayini, lekhethelo lonke lamabele, lengqabutho yalokho abakunikela eNkosini, ngiyakunika khona.
13Ingqabutho yakho konke okuvuthwayo kuqala emasimini abo abayiletha eNkosini izakuba ngeyakho. Bonke abahlambulukileyo endlini yakho bangakudla.
14Konke okwahlukaniselwe uNkulunkulu koIsrayeli kuzakuba ngokwakho.Levi 27:28
15Wonke amazibulo abawanikela eNkosini, awabantu lawezifuyo, azakuba ngawakho; kodwa izibulo lomuntu ubolihlenga, lezibulo lenyamazana engcolileyo ubolihlenga.
16Ubolihlenga enyangeni yokuzalwa kwalo ngemali yesiliva yamashekeli amahlanu, ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele elingamagera angamatshumi amabili.
17Kodwa izibulo lenkomo lezibulo lemvu, lezibulo lembuzi ungawahlengi, ngoba angcwele. Uzakukhaphazela igazi lawo ealtareni, utshise amahwahwa awo abe ngumnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, kube liphunga elimnandi eNkosini.
18Kodwa inyama yawo izakuba ngeyakho, lesifuba esizunguziweyo lomlenze wokunene kungokwakho.
19Yonke iminikelo engcwele abakoIsrayeli abayinikela eNkosini ngiyayinika wena lamadodana akho lamadodakazi akho ngesimiso esingelakuphela. Lokhu kuyisivumelwano setshwayi esingelakuphela phambi kweNkosi kuwe lakuyo inzalo yakho.
20INkosi yathi kuAroni: Kawuzukuba lelifa elizweni lakini, kawuzukuba lesabelo selizwe phakathi kwabo; mina ngiyisabelo sakho lelifa lakho phakathi kwabantu bakoIsrayeli.
21Ngikunike amaLevi konke okwetshumi koIsrayeli kube ngokwawo, ngomsebenzi wawo awenzayo, ngenkonzo yawo ethenteni lokuhlangana.Levi 27:30–33; Dute 14:22–29
22Kusukela khathesi abantu bakoIsrayeli bangabe besasondela ethenteni lokuhlangana ukuba bangoni, bangafi.
23Kodwa amaLevi azakwenza inkonzo yethente lokuhlangana, athwale ububi ngayo. Kuzakuba yisimiso esingelakuphela ezizukulwaneni zenu; phakathi kwabakoIsrayeli kawazukuba lelifa.
24Ngoba okwetshumi kwabakoIsrayeli abakunikela eNkosini kube ngumnikelo, ngikunike amaLevi kube ngokwawo. Ngakho ngitshilo ngawo ukuthi kawazukuba lelifa phakathi kwabakoIsrayeli.
25INkosi yathi kuMose:
26Futhi uzakuthi kumaLevi: Nxa lithatha ebantwini bakoIsrayeli okwetshumi engilinike khona, kuvela kubo kube ngokwenu, lizakuthatha okunye kukho, likunikele eNkosini, kube ngokwetshumi kokwetshumi.
27Umnikelo wenu uzakubalelwa lina, kungathi kungamabele esibuya lewayini lesikhamelo.
28Ngalokhu lani lizanikela umnikelo eNkosini ngakho konke okwetshumi kwenu elikwamukelayo ebantwini bakoIsrayeli; lizakuthatha kukho umnikelo weNkosi, liwunike uAroni umpristi.
29Kuzo zonke iziphiwo zenu lizakuthatha yonke iminikelo efanele ukunikelwa eNkosini; thathani ikhethelo lazo, linikele ingxenye yayo eyenziweyo ibe ngcwele.
30Futhi uzakuthi kuwo: Lapho linikela ngekhethelo lazo, okuseleyo kuzakuba ngokwenu kungathi yilokho okuvela esibuyeni lalokho okuvela esikhamelweni.
31Lingakudla endaweni zonke, lina labezindlu zenu, ngoba kungumvuzo wenu ngomsebenzi wenu ethenteni lokuhlangana.
32Kaliyikuthwala isono ngenxa yakho, lapho selinikele ngekhethelo lakho; kaliyikungcolisa izinto ezingcwele zabakoIsrayeli ukuba lingafi.
