ULevi 8
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
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 and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;
3 ubuthanise inhlangano yonke emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
and assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting.”
4 UMozisi wasesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuye, lenhlangano yabuthana emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
5 UMozisi wasesithi enhlanganweni: Yiyo le into iNkosi elaye ukuthi yenziwe.
Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded to be done.”
6 UMozisi wasesondeza uAroni lamadodana akhe, wabagezisa ngamanzi.
Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
7 Wasemgqokisa isigqoko, wambopha ngebhanti, wamgqokisa ibhatshi, wamfaka i-efodi, wambopha ngebhanti le-efodi elelukwe ngobungcitshi, walibophela kuye ngalo.
He put the tunic on him, tied the sash on him, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod on him, and he tied the skilfully woven band of the ephod on him and fastened it to him with it.
8 Wamgqokisa isembatho sesifuba, wabeka esembathweni sesifuba iUrimi leThumimi.
He placed the breastplate on him. He put the Urim and Thummim in the breastplate.
9 Wamthwalisa iqhiye ekhanda lakhe; wabeka phezu kweqhiye, ngaphambi kobuso bayo, incence yegolide, umqhele wobungcwele, njengalokhu iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
He set the turban on his head. He set the golden plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 UMozisi wasethatha amafutha okugcoba, waligcoba ithabhanekele lakho konke okuphakathi kwalo, wakungcwelisa.
Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them.
11 Wafafaza ngawo phezu kwelathi kasikhombisa, wagcoba ilathi lezitsha zalo zonke, lenditshi yokugezela lonyawo lwayo, ukukungcwelisa.
He sprinkled it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the basin and its base, to sanctify them.
12 Wathela okwamafutha okugcoba ekhanda likaAroni, wamgcoba, ukumngcwelisa.
He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
13 UMozisi wasesondeza amadodana kaAroni, wawagqokisa izigqoko, wawabopha ngamabhanti, wawathwalisa izingowane, njengalokhu iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with tunics, and tied sashes on them, and put headbands on them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
14 Wasesondeza ijongosi lomnikelo wesono; uAroni lamadodana akhe basebebeka izandla zabo enhlokweni yejongosi lomnikelo wesono.
He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.
15 Waselihlaba, uMozisi wasethatha igazi, walifaka ngomunwe wakhe empondweni zelathi inhlangothi zonke, wahlambulula ilathi, wathululela igazi kungaphansi yelathi, walingcwelisa ukulenzela inhlawulo yokuthula.
He killed it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.
16 Wathatha idanga lonke, lamahwahwa esibindi, lezinso zombili lamahwahwa azo, uMozisi wakutshisa elathini.
He took all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burnt it on the altar.
17 Kodwa ijongosi, lesikhumba salo, lenyama yalo, lomswane walo wakutshisa ngomlilo ngaphandle kwenkamba, njengalokhu iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
But the bull, and its skin, and its meat, and its dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp, as the LORD commanded Moses.
18 Wasesondeza inqama yomnikelo wokutshiswa; uAroni lamadodana akhe basebebeka izandla zabo phezu kwenhloko yenqama.
He presented the ram of the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
19 Waseyihlaba, uMozisi wafafaza igazi phezu kwelathi inhlangothi zonke.
He killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar.
20 Waseyisika inqama ngeziqa zayo, uMozisi watshisa inhloko lezitho lamahwahwa.
He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
21 Wagezisa imibilini lemilenze ngamanzi, uMozisi watshisa inqama yonke elathini, kungumnikelo wokutshiswa oloqhatshi olumnandi, kungumnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, njengalokho iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
He washed the innards and the legs with water; and Moses burnt the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 Wasesondeza enye inqama, inqama yokwehlukaniswa; uAroni lamadodana akhe basebebeka izandla zabo phezu kwenhloko yenqama.
He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
23 Waseyihlaba, uMozisi wathatha okwegazi layo, walifaka eqwangeni lwendlebe yokunene kaAroni, lesithupheni sesandla sakhe sokunene, lezwaneni olukhulu lonyawo lwakhe lokunene.
He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on 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 brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar.
25 Wasethatha amahwahwa, lomsila ononileyo, ledanga lonke, lamahwahwa esibindi, lezinso zombili lamahwahwa azo, lomlenze wokunene,
He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat that was on the innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh;
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 out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat and on the right thigh.
27 wakubeka konke ezandleni zikaAroni lezandleni zamadodana akhe, wakuzunguza kwaba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi.
He put all these in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.
28 UMozisi wasekuthatha ezandleni zabo, wakutshisa elathini phezu komnikelo wokutshiswa, kwaba yikwehlukaniswa okoqhatshi olumnandi, kungumnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
Moses took them from their hands, and burnt them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD.
29 UMozisi wasethatha isifuba, wasizunguza saba ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa phambi kweNkosi; saba yisabelo sikaMozisi senqama yokwehlukaniswa, njengalokho iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi.
Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD. It was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration, as the LORD commanded Moses.
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.
Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
31 UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni lemadodaneni akhe: Phekani inyama emnyango wethente lenhlangano, liyidle lapho lezinkwa ezisesitsheni sokwehlukaniswa, njengokulaya kwami ngisithi: UAroni lamadodana akhe bazakudla.
Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’
32 Lokuseleyo kwenyama lokwezinkwa lizakutshisa ngomlilo.
What remains of the meat and of the bread you shall burn with fire.
33 Njalo kaliyikuphuma ngomnyango wethente lenhlangano, insuku eziyisikhombisa, kuze kufike usuku okuzagcwaliswa ngalo insuku zokwehlukaniswa kwenu, ngoba uzalehlukanisa okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.
34 Njengoba enzile lamuhla iNkosi ilayile ukukwenza, ukulenzela inhlawulo yokuthula.
What has been done today, so the LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.
35 Ngakho lizahlala emnyango wethente lenhlangano insuku eziyisikhombisa, imini lebusuku, ligcine imfanelo yeNkosi ukuze lingafi; ngoba ngilaywe njalo.
You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep the LORD’s command, that you don’t die: for so I am commanded.”
36 UAroni lamadodana akhe basebesenza izinto zonke iNkosi eyazilayayo ngesandla sikaMozisi.
Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD commanded by Moses.
