Umlilo Ongesesikweni Phambi koBawo wethu
ONadabhi noAbhihu bazisa umlilo uBawo wabo awayengabawiselanga mthetho ngawo, uze umlilo ovela kuye ubadle. UAron uthi tu. Ababingeleli bayalelwa ukuba bangaseli wayini xa besemsebenzini, bathunywe ukuba bafundise umahluko phakathi kokungcwele nokuqhelekileyo — yaye uMoses wamkela usizi luka-Aron ngedini elashiywa lingadliwanga.
10 1OoNadabhi noAbhihu, oonyana baka-Aron, elowo wathabatha ugcedevu lwakhe, wafaka umlilo kulo, wabeka isiqhumiso phezu kwalo, basondeza umlilo ongesesikweni phambi koBawo wethu, abengabawiselanga mthetho ngawo. 2Kwaphuma umlilo ebusweni bukaBawo wethu, wabadla, bafa phambi koBawo wethu. a a v2 Kwanaloo mlilo wawusihla uvela kuBawo wethu ukwamkela unqulo lwabantu, ngoku uyehla uze kudla abo basondeleyo kuye ngokungakhathali—ukusondela kwakhe kuyisipho nomlilo ongcwele kwaxa kanye.
3Wathi uMoses kuAron: “Yile nto wayithethayo uBawo wethu, ukuthi: ‘Phakathi kwabasondeleyo kum ndiya kuzibonakalalisa ndiyiNgcwele, naphambi kwabantu bonke ndiya kuzukiswa.’” UAron wathi tu.
4UMoses wabiza oonyana bakaUziyeli, uyisekazi ka-Aron, ooMishaheli noElitsafan, wathi kubo: “Sondelani, nithabathe abazalwana benu phambi kwendawo engcwele, nibase ngaphandle kweminquba.” 5Basondela ke, bathabatha besezingutyeni zabo, babasa ngaphandle kweminquba, njengoko watshoyo uMoses.
6Wathi uMoses kuAron nakoonyana bakhe ooElazare noItamare: “Ningaziyeki iinwele zenu ziyakazele, ningazikrazuli neengubo zenu, hleze nife, kuza uburhalarhume phezu kwebandla lonke. Kodwa abazalwana benu, indlu yonke yakwaSirayeli, bangawulilela umlilo awuvuthisileyo uBawo wethu. 7Ningaphumi emnyango wentente yokuhlangana, hleze nife; kuba ioli yentambiso kaBawo wethu iphezu kwenu.” Benza ke njengoko watshoyo uMoses.
8Wathetha uBawo wethu kuAron, esithi:
9“Wena noonyana bakho nize ningaseli wayini namtshovayo, xa ningena ententeni yokuhlangana, hleze nife. Ngummiselo ke ongunaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu, 10ukuze niyahlule okungcwele kokuqhelekileyo, neyinqambi kwehlambulukileyo, 11nokuze nibafundise oonyana bakaSirayeli yonke imimiselo endayithethayo kubo ngoMoses.”
12Wathi uMoses kuAron nakoonyana bakhe abaseleyo, ooElazare noItamare: “Thabathani umnikelo wokudla oseleyo kumadini atshiswayo kaBawo wethu, niwudle ungenagwele ecaleni lesibingelelo; kuba uyingcwele kangcwele. 13Niwudle endaweni engcwele; kuba usisabelo sakho nesabelo soonyana bakho, kumadini atshiswayo kaBawo wethu; kuba ndiwiselwe umthetho ngaloo nto. 14Kodwa wena, noonyana bakho, neentombi zakho ningayidla incum etshangatshangisiweyo nomlenze orhunyiweyo endaweni ehlambulukileyo; kuba zininkwa ngezo njengesabelo sakho nesabelo soonyana bakho, kwimibingelelo yoxolo yoonyana bakaSirayeli. b b v14 Umtshangatshangiso wawusisimbo sonqulo apho umbingeleli wayesusa isabelo esisondeza esibingelelweni abuye asibuyisele umva, ngokomfuziselo esibonisa kuThixo aze asamkele ngokubuya sibe sisabelo sobubingeleli. 15Baya kuwuzisa umlenze orhunyiweyo nencum etshangatshangisiweyo, namadini amanqatha atshiswa ngomlilo, bawatshangatshangise abe ngumtshangatshangiso phambi koBawo wethu; oba ngowakho nowoonyana bakho, ube sisabelo esingunaphakade, njengoko wawiselayo umthetho uBawo wethu.”
16UMoses wayibuza ngenyameko inkunzi yebhokhwe yedini lesono, nanko itshisiwe. Wavutha ngumsindo koElazare noItamare, oonyana baka-Aron abaseleyo, wathi: 17“Yini na ukuba ningalidli idini lesono endaweni yengcwele? Ekubeni liyingcwele kangcwele nje, uBawo wethu ulinikele nina ukuba nisuse ubugwenxa bebandla, nibacamagushele phambi koBawo wethu. 18Ekubeni igazi lalo lingangeniswanga ngaphakathi engcweleni nje, belifanele ukuba niyidle engcweleni, njengoko bendiwisele umthetho.”
19Wathi uAron kuMoses: “Khawubone, namhla oonyana bam basondeze amadini abo, idini lesono nedini elinyukayo, phambi koBawo wethu, kwaza kwathi kanti kwandihlela konke oku. Ukuba ndilidlile idini lesono namhla, ngekumlungele na uBawo wethu?”
20Akuliva uMoses, kwamkholisa.
