Chapter 18

1 Wathi uYehova kuAron, Wena noonyana bakho, nendlu kayihlo ndawonyenawe, nobuthwala ubugwenxa obenziwe kwindawo engcwele; wena noonyana bakho ndawonye nawe nobuthwala ubugwenxa bobubingeleli benu.
2 Kananjalo abazalwana bakho, isizwe sakwaLevi, isizwe sikayihlo, wobasondeza nawe, banamathele kuwe, balungiselele wena; wena ke, noonyana bakho ndawonye nawe, phambi kwentente yesingqino.
3 Bogcina isigxina sakho nesigxina sentente yonke; kodwa empahleni yengcwele nasesibingelelweni mabangasondeli, ukuze bangafi bona aba kwanani.
4 Bonamathela kuwe, bagcine isigxina sentente yokuhlangana emsebenzini wonke wayo intente; ke owase unzini aze angasondeli kuni.
5 Nize nigcine isigxina sengcwele nesigxina sesibingelo, kungabuyi kubhekho burhalarhume phezu koonyana bakaSirayeli.
6 Mna ke, yabona, ndibathabathile abazalwana benu, abaLevi, phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli; nibanikiwe bangumnikelo kuYehova wokusebenza umsebenzi wentente yokuhlangana.
7 Ke wena noonyana bakho ndawonye nawe, nobugcina ububingeleli benu ezintweni zonke zesibingelelo, nangaphaya komkhusane; nisebenze umsebenzi. Ndininika ububingeleli ukuba bube ngumsebenzi eniwunikiweyo. Owasemzini osondelayo uya kubulawa.
8 Wathetha uYehova kuAron, esithi, Yabona, mna ndikunika isigxina semirhumo yam, ezintweni zonke ezingcwele zoonyana bakaSirayeli; ndisinika wena noonyana bakho sibe ngumxhesho, sibe ngummiselo ongunaphakade.
9 Yile into eyoba yeyakho ezintweni eziyingcwele kangcwele, ekudleni kwasemlilweni: yonke imisondezo yabo, eminikelweni yabo yokudla, nasemadinini abo onke esono, nasemadinini abo onke etyala, abayibuyisela kum, yoba ziinto eziyingcwele kangcwele kuwe nakoonyana bakho.
10 Nozidla engcweleni kangcwele; yonke into eyindoda yozidla; zoba ngcwele kuwe.
11 Yile into eyoba yeyakho: umrhumo wesipho sabo emitshangatshangisweni yonke yoonyana bakaSirayeli ndiwunika wena, noonyana bakho, neentombi zakho ndawonye nawe, ube ngummiselo ongunaphakade. Bonke abahlambulukileyo endlwini yakho bowudla.
12 Konke ukutyeba kweoli, konke ukutyeba kwewayini entsha, nokwengqolowa, ulibo lwezo zinto baya kuzinika uYehova, ndikunika lona.
13 Iintlahlela zeento zonke ezisezweni labo, abazizisa kuYehova, zoba zezakho; bonke abahlambulukileyo endlwini yakho bozidla.
14 Zonke izinto ezisingelwe phantsi kwaSirayeli zoba zezakho.
15 Zonke izinto ezivula isizalo kwinyama yonke, abaya kuzisondeza kuYehova, ebantwini nasezinkomeni, zoba zezakho. Kodwa wona amazibulo abantu wowakhulula ngokuwamisela; amazibulo ezinto ezizitho zine eziziinqambi wowakhulula ngokuwamisela.
16 Ukukhululwa komntu ke womkhulula ngokummisela, uthabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye, ngokulinganisela kwakho isilivere yeeshekele ezintlanu ngokweshekele yengcwele, eziigera ezimashumi mabini.
17 Kodwa amazibulo eenkomo, namazibulo ezimvu, namazibulo eebhokhwe, akuyi kuwakhulula ngokuwamisela. Angcwele wona; igazi lawo wolitshiza esibingelelweni, uqhumisele ngamanqatha awo; kukudla kwasemlilweni ke oko, livumba elithozamisayo kuYehova.
18 Inyama yawo yoba yeyakho; njengencum yomtshangatshangiso, nanjengomlenze wasekunene, yoba yeyakho.
19 Yonke imirhumo engcwele, abayirhumela uYehova oonyana bakaSirayeli, ndiyinika wena, noonyana bakho, neentombi zakho ndawonye nawe, ibe ngummiselo ongunaphakade; ingumnqophiso wetyuwa ongunaphakade phambi koYehova, kuwe nakwimbewu yakho ndawonye nawe.
20 Wathi uYehova kuAron, Ezweni labo akuyi kuba nalifa, akuyi kuba nasabelo phakathi kwabo; ndisisabelo sakho nelifa lakho phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
21 Uyabona, oonyana bakaLevi ndibanika zonke izishumi kwaSirayeli, ukuba zibe lilifa, ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo abasebenza wona, umsebenzi wentente yokuhlangana;
22 bangaphindi oonyana bakaSirayeli basondele ententeni yokuhlangana, hleze bathwale isono bafe.
23 Ke bona abaLevi bosebenza umsebenzi wentente yokuhlangana, babuthwale ubugwenxa babo; ngummiselo ongunaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu. Abayi kuba nalifa phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
24 Ngokuba isishumi soonyana bakaSirayeli, abasirhumela uYehova umrhumo, ndisinika abaLevi sibe lilifa. Ngenxa yoko ndithe kubo, Mabangabi nalifa phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
25 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
26 Thetha kubaLevi, uthi kubo, Xa nithe nasithabatha koonyana bakaSirayeli isishumi endininika sona, esiphuma kubo sililifa lenu, norhuma ngaso umrhumo kaYehova, ngesishumi sesishumi.
27 Wothi umrhumo wenu ubalelwe kuni uyingqolowa yasesandeni, uyinzaliseko yasesixovulelweni.
28 Ngokunjalo nani norhuma umrhumo kaYehova ngezishumi zenu zonke enizithabathayo koonyana bakaSirayeli, nimnika uAron umbingeleli kuzo umrhumo kaYehova.
29 Eminikelweni yonke eniyinikiweyo, norhuma imirhumo yonke kaYehova; ekutyebeni kwayo konke norhuma into yakhe eyingcwele ivela kuyo.
30 Uze uthi ke kubo, Ekurhumeni kwenu ukutyeba kwayo, kobalelwa kubaLevi, ilungeniselo lwesanda, ilungeniselo lwesixovulelo.
31 Nokudla oko ezindaweni zonke, nina nezindlu zenu; kuba ngumvuzo wenu ngenxa yomsebenzi wenu ententeni yokuhlangana.
32 Anisayi kuzithwalisa zono ngenxa yoko ekurhumeni kwenu ukutyeba kwayo okukuyo; anisayi kuzihlambela izinto ezingcwele zoonyana bakaSirayeli; anisayi kufa.
