ULevi 8
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Thatha uAroni lamadodana akhe kanye laye, lezembatho, lamafutha okugcoba, lejongosi lomnikelo wesono, lenqama ezimbili, lesitsha sezinkwa ezingelamvubelo,
Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction, a calf for sin, two rams, a basket with unleavened bread,
3 ubuthanise inhlangano yonke emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.
4 UMozisi wasesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuye, lenhlangano yabuthana emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle,
5 UMozisi wasesithi enhlanganweni: Yiyo le into iNkosi elaye ukuthi yenziwe.
He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.
6 UMozisi wasesondeza uAroni lamadodana akhe, wabagezisa ngamanzi.
And immediately he offered Aaron and his sons: and when he had washed them,
7 Wasemgqokisa isigqoko, wambopha ngebhanti, wamgqokisa ibhatshi, wamfaka i-efodi, wambopha ngebhanti le-efodi elelukwe ngobungcitshi, walibophela kuye ngalo.
He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick, and over it he put the ephod,
8 Wamgqokisa isembatho sesifuba, wabeka esembathweni sesifuba iUrimi leThumimi.
And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.
9 Wamthwalisa iqhiye ekhanda lakhe; wabeka phezu kweqhiye, ngaphambi kobuso bayo, incence yegolide, umqhele wobungcwele, njengalokhu iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as the Lord had commanded him.
10 UMozisi wasethatha amafutha okugcoba, waligcoba ithabhanekele lakho konke okuphakathi kwalo, wakungcwelisa.
He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.
11 Wafafaza ngawo phezu kwelathi kasikhombisa, wagcoba ilathi lezitsha zalo zonke, lenditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo, ukukungcwelisa.
And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and all the vessels thereof, and the laver with the foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil.
12 Wathela okwamafutha okugcoba ekhanda likaAroni, wamgcoba, ukumngcwelisa.
And he poured it upon Aaron’s head, and he anointed and consecrated him:
13 UMozisi wasesondeza amadodana kaAroni, wawagqokisa izigqoko, wawabopha ngamabhanti, wawathwalisa izingowane, njengalokhu iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunicks, and girded them with girdles, and put mitres on them as the Lord had commanded.
14 Wasesondeza ijongosi lomnikelo wesono; uAroni lamadodana akhe basebebeka izandla zabo enhlokweni yejongosi lomnikelo wesono.
He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,
15 Waselihlaba, uMozisi wasethatha igazi, walifaka ngomunwe wakhe empondweni zelathi inhlangothi zonke, wahlambulula ilathi, wathululela igazi kungaphansi yelathi, walingcwelisa ukulenzela inhlawulo yokuthula.
He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof.
16 Wathatha idanga lonke, lamahwahwa esibindi, lezinso zombili lamahwahwa azo, uMozisi wakutshisa elathini.
But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar:
17 Kodwa ijongosi, lesikhumba salo, lenyama yalo, lomswane walo wakutshisa ngomlilo ngaphandle kwenkamba, njengalokhu iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the Lord had commanded.
18 Wasesondeza inqama yomnikelo wokutshiswa; uAroni lamadodana akhe basebebeka izandla zabo phezu kwenhloko yenqama.
He offered also a ram for a holocaust: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head,
19 Waseyihlaba, uMozisi wafafaza igazi phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.
He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
20 Waseyisika inqama ngeziqa zayo, uMozisi watshisa inhloko lezitho lamahwahwa.
And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire,
21 Wagezisa imibilini lemilenze ngamanzi, uMozisi watshisa inqama yonke elathini, kungumnikelo wokutshiswa oloqhatshi olumnandi, kungumnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, njengalokho iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
Having first washed the entrails, and the feet, and the whole ram together he burnt upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odour to the Lord, as he had commanded him.
22 Wasesondeza enye inqama, inqama yokwehlukaniswa; uAroni lamadodana akhe basebebeka izandla zabo phezu kwenhloko yenqama.
He offered also the second ram, in the consecration of priests: and Aaron, and his sons put their hands upon the head thereof:
23 Waseyihlaba, uMozisi wathatha okwegazi layo, walifaka eqwangeni lwendlebe yokunene kaAroni, lesithupheni sesandla sakhe sokunene, lezwaneni olukhulu lonyawo lwakhe lokunene.
And when Moses had immolated it, he took of the blood thereof, and touched the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner also the great toe of his right foot.
24 Wasesondeza amadodana kaAroni, uMozisi wafaka okwegazi eqwangeni lwendlebe yawo yokunene, lesithupheni sesandla sawo sokunene, lezwaneni olukhulu lonyawo lwawo lokunene; uMozisi wasefafaza igazi phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.
He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about:
25 Wasethatha amahwahwa, lomsila ononileyo, ledanga lonke, lamahwahwa esibindi, lezinso zombili lamahwahwa azo, lomlenze wokunene,
But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and with the right shoulder, he separated.
26 wakhupha esitsheni sezinkwa ezingelamvubelo esasiphambi kweNkosi iqebelengwana laba linye elingelamvubelo, leqebelengwana elilodwa lesinkwa esilamafutha, lesinkwana esisodwa esiyisipatalala, wakubeka phezu kwamahwahwa laphezu komlenze wokunene;
And taking out of the basket; of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, a loaf without leaven, and a cake tempered with oil and a wafer, he put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder,
27 wakubeka konke ezandleni zikaAroni lezandleni zamadodana akhe, wakuzunguza kwaba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi.
Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons: wile having lifted them up before the Lord,
28 UMozisi wasekuthatha ezandleni zabo, wakutshisa elathini phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa, kwaba yikwehlukaniswa okoqhatshi olumnandi, kungumnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
He took them again from their hands, and burnt them upon the altar of holocaust, because it was the oblation of consecration, for a sweet odour of sacrifice to the Lord.
29 UMozisi wasethatha isifuba, wasizunguza saba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi; saba yisabelo sikaMozisi senqama yokwehlukaniswa, njengalokho iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
And he took of the ram of consecration, the breast for his portion, elevating it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him.
30 UMozisi wasethatha okwamafutha okugcoba lokwegazi okwakuphezu kwelathi, wakufafaza phezu kukaAroni, phezu kwezembatho zakhe, laphezu kwamadodana akhe, laphezu kwezembatho zamadodana akhe kanye laye. Wamngcwelisa uAroni, izembatho zakhe, lamadodana akhe, lezembatho zamadodana akhe kanye laye.
And taking the ointment, and the blood that was upon the altar, he sprinkled Aaron, and his vestments, and his sons, and their vestments with it.
31 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni lemadodaneni akhe: Phekani inyama emnyango wethente lenhlangano, liyidle lapho lezinkwa ezisesitsheni sokwehlukaniswa, njengokulaya kwami ngisithi: UAroni lamadodana akhe bazakudla.
And when he had sanctified them in their vestments, he commanded them, saying: Boil the flesh before the door of the tabernacle, and there eat it. Eat ye also the loaves of consecration, that are laid in the basket, as the Lord commanded me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall eat them:
32 Lokuseleyo kwenyama lokwezinkwa lizakutshisa ngomlilo.
And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the leaves, shall be consumed with fire.
33 Njalo kaliyikuphuma ngomnyango wethente lenhlangano, insuku eziyisikhombisa, kuze kufike usuku okuzagcwaliswa ngalo insuku zokwehlukaniswa kwenu, ngoba uzalehlukanisa okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day wherein the time of your consecration shall be expired. For in seven days the consecration is finished:
34 Njengoba enzile lamuhla iNkosi ilayile ukukwenza, ukulenzela inhlawulo yokuthula.
As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.
35 Ngakho lizahlala emnyango wethente lenhlangano insuku eziyisikhombisa, imini lebusuku, ligcine imfanelo yeNkosi ukuze lingafi; ngoba ngilaywe njalo.
Day and night shall you remain in the tabernacle observing the watches of the Lord, lest you die: for so it hath been commanded me.
36 UAroni lamadodana akhe basebesenza izinto zonke iNkosi eyazilayayo ngesandla sikaMozisi.
And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
