Numbers 15
1 The Lord told Moses,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 “Tell the Israelites, ‘These are instructions about what you are to do once you arrive in the country I'm giving you to live in.
Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Lapho lifika elizweni lokuhlala kwenu, engilinika lona,
3 When you bring an offering to the Lord from your herd or flock (whether it's a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made, or a freewill or festival offering) that will be acceptable to the Lord,
lisenza umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, umnikelo wokutshiswa kumbe umhlatshelo, owokugcwalisa isithembiso, loba emnikelweni wesihle, loba emikhosini yenu emisiweyo, ukwenza uqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini, okuvela enkomeni kumbe ezimvini,
4 then you shall also present a grain offering of one tenth of an ephah of best flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.
lowo-ke onikelayo umnikelo wakhe eNkosini uzasondeza umnikelo wokudla, ube ngokwetshumi lempuphu ecolekileyo ixubene lengxenye yesine yehini yamafutha;
5 Add a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering to the burn offering or the sacrifice of a lamb.
lewayini libe ngumnikelo wokunathwayo, ingxenye yesine yehini, uzakulungisa lomnikelo wokutshiswa loba umhlatshelo, owewundlu elilodwa.
6 When it comes to a ram, present a grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of best flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,
Kumbe owenqama lizalungisa umnikelo wokudla, ube zingxenye ezimbili etshumini zempuphu ecolekileyo ixubene lamafutha, ingxenye yesithathu yehini;
7 along with a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, all of them to be acceptable to the Lord.
lewayini libe ngumnikelo wokunathwayo, ingxenye yesithathu yehini, uzalinikela libe liphunga elimnandi eNkosini.
8 When you bring a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made or as a peace offering to the Lord,
Njalo nxa lilungisa ithole eliduna lenkomo libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa kumbe umhlatshelo, owokugcwalisa isithembiso, kumbe iminikelo yokuthula eNkosini,
9 then you shall also with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.
uzanikelela-ke ithole lenkomo umnikelo wokudla, ube zingxenye ezintathu etshumini lempuphu ecolekileyo ixubene lamafutha, ingxenye yehini.
10 Add a half a hin of wine as a drink offering. All this is an offering to be acceptable to the Lord.
Linikele iwayini libe ngumnikelo wokunathwayo, ingxenye yehini, kube ngumnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo olephunga elimnandi eNkosini.
11 This is to be done for every bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought as an offering.
Kuzakwenziwa njalo ngaleyonkunzi, loba ngaleyonqama, loba ngewundlu, kumbe ngezinyane.
12 This is what you need to do for each one, however many.
Njengenani elizalilungisa, lizakwenza njalo kuleyo laleyo, ngokwenani lazo.
13 Every Israelite is to follow these instructions when they present an offering that is accepted by the Lord.
Wonke owokuzalwa elizweni uzazenza njalo lezizinto, ekunikeleni umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo woqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
14 This also applies for all future generations that if a foreigner living among you or anyone else among you wishes to present an offering acceptable to the Lord: they are to do exactly what you do.
Uba-ke owemzini ohlala njengowezizwe lani, kumbe loba ngubani ophakathi kwenu ezizukulwaneni zenu, njalo enikela umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo woqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini, njengoba lisenza uzakwenza njalo.
15 The whole congregation must have the same rules for you and for the foreigner living among you. This is a permanent law for all future generations You and the foreigner are to be treated the same way before the law.
Kuzakuba lesimiso sinye kini abebandla lakowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe, isimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu; njengani uzakuba njalo owemzini phambi kweNkosi.
16 The same rules and regulations apply to you and the foreigner living among you.’”
Kuzakuba lomthetho munye lesimiso sinye kini lakowemzini ohlala lani njengowezizwe.
17 Then the Lord told Moses,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
18 “Tell the Israelites, ‘When you get to the country where I'm leading you
Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Ekungeneni kwenu elizweni engilisa kulo,
19 and you eat the food produced there, you shall give some of it as an offering to the Lord.
kuzakuthi nxa lisidla okokudla kwelizwe, linikele umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa eNkosini.
20 You are to give some of the flour you make into loaves as a gift—present it just like an offering from the threshing floor.
Ngokokuqala kwenhlama yenu lizanikela iqebelengwana, kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa; njengomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa webala lokubhulela, ngokunjalo lizawuphakamisa.
21 For all future generations, you are to give the Lord an offering from the first of your flour.
Ngokokuqala kwenhlama yenu lizanika eNkosini umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa ezizukulwaneni zenu.
22 Now if you collectively sin without meaning to and don't follow all these instructions that the Lord has given Moses—
Uba-ke liduha, lingenzanga yonke imilayo le iNkosi eyikhulume kuMozisi,
23 everything that the Lord has ordered you to do through Moses from the time that the Lord gave them and for all future generations—
konke iNkosi elilaye khona ngesandla sikaMozisi kusukela ngosuku iNkosi eyalaya ngalo kusiya phambili ezizukulwaneni zenu,
24 and if it was done unintentionally without everyone knowing about it, then the whole congregation is to present a young bull as a burnt offering to be accepted by the Lord, along with its grain offering and drink offering presented according to the rules, as well as a male goat as a sin offering.
kuzakuthi-ke uba kwenziwe ngokungazi, kungekho emehlweni enhlangano, inhlangano yonke izanikela ijongosi elilodwa ithole lenkomo, libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, kube luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini, lomnikelo walo wokudla, lomnikelo walo wokunathwayo njengomthetho, lezinyane lembuzi elilodwa, libe ngumnikelo wesono.
25 In this way the priest is to make the whole congregation of Israel right with the Lord so that they can be forgiven, because the sin was unintentional and they have presented the Lord with an burnt offering and a sin offering, offered before the Lord for their unintentional sin.
Umpristi uzakwenzela-ke inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli inhlawulo yokuthula, bakuthethelelwe, ngoba kuyikungazi, futhi bona bazaletha umnikelo wabo, umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo, lomnikelo wabo wesono phambi kweNkosi, ngenxa yesiphambeko sokungazi kwabo.
26 Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because the people sinned unintentionally.
Lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli izakuthethelelwa, lowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo, ngoba kubo bonke abantu kwakusekungazini.
27 In the case of an individual who sins without meaning to—they are to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.
Uba-ke umuntu oyedwa esona ngokungazi, uzasondeza isibhuzikazi esilomnyaka owodwa, sibe ngumnikelo wesono.
28 The priest will make the person who sinned unintentionally right before the Lord their behalf. Once they have been made right, they will be forgiven.
Lompristi uzawenzela lowomphefumulo owone ngokungazi inhlawulo yokuthula, lapho one ngokungazi phambi kweNkosi, ukumenzela inhlawulo yokuthula; uzakuthethelelwa-ke.
29 You shall apply the same law for the one who mistakenly sins to an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.
Lizakuba lomlayo munye kwalowo owona ngokungazi, owokuzalwa elizweni phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, lowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo.
30 But the person who sins in defiance, whether an Israelite or foreigner, is blaspheming the Lord. They shall be expelled from their people.
Kodwa umuntu okwenza ngabomo, engowokuzalwa elizweni loba engowemzini, ethuka iNkosi; njalo lowomuntu uzaqunywa asuke phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
31 They have to be expelled, because they have treated the word of the Lord with contempt and broken his commandment. They are responsible for the consequences of their own guilt.’”
Ngoba edelele ilizwi leNkosi, wephula umlayo wayo, lowomuntu uzaqunywa lokuqunywa; ububi bakhe buzakuba phezu kwakhe.
32 During the time the Israelites were wandering in the desert, a man was caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath.
Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli besenkangala, bafica umuntu etheza inkuni ngosuku lwesabatha.
33 The people who found him collecting wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the Israelites.
Labo abamficayo etheza inkuni bamletha kuMozisi lakuAroni lakunhlangano yonke.
34 They placed him under guard because it wasn't clear what should happen to him.
Bamfaka esitokisini, ngoba kwakungakatshiwo ukuthi kuzakwenziwani kuye.
35 The Lord told Moses, “This man has to be executed. All the Israelites are to stone him outside the camp.”
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Lowomuntu kabulawe lokubulawa; inhlangano yonke izamkhanda ngamatshe ngaphandle kwenkamba.
36 So they all took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death as the Lord had ordered Moses.
Lenhlangano yonke yamkhuphela ngaphandle kwenkamba, yamkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
37 Sometime later the Lord told Moses,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
38 “Tell the Israelites that for all future generations you must make tassels for the hems of your clothes and attach them with blue cord.
Khuluma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ubatshele ukuthi bazenzele izintshaka emagumbini ezembatho zabo, ezizukulwaneni zabo, lokuthi bafake entshakeni yomphetho intambo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
39 When you look at these tassels you will be reminded to keep all the commandments of the Lord and not be unfaithful, following your own thoughts and desires.
Njalo kuzakuba kini yintshaka ukuze likukhangele, likhumbule yonke imilayo yeNkosi, liyenze, lingadingi lilandele inhliziyo yenu lilandele amehlo enu, eliphinga ngokukulandela.
40 In this way you'll remember to keep all my commandments and you will be holy to your God. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to be your God.
Ukuze likhumbule lenze yonke imilayo yami, libe ngcwele kuNkulunkulu wenu.
41 I am the Lord your God!”
NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu eyalikhupha elizweni leGibhithe ukuba nguNkulunkulu wenu; ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
