3 ¹Yiyo le ke inzala ka-Aron noMoses, ngomhla awathetha ngawo uBawo wethu noMoses entabeni yeSinayi. ²Ngawo la amagama oonyana baka-Aron: nguNadabhi izibulo, noAbhihu, noElazare, noItamare. ³Ngawo la amagama oonyana baka-Aron, ababingeleli abathanjisiweyo awabamiselayo uMoses ukuba babe ngababingeleli. ⁴Bafa ooNadabhi noAbhihu phambi koBawo wethu entlango yaseSinayi ekusondezeni kwabo umlilo ongesesikweni phambi kwakhe; babengenabantwana. Benza ke ububingeleli ooElazare noItamare phambi koAron uyise.

⁵Wathi ke uBawo wethu kuMoses:

⁶“Sondeza isizwe sakwaLevi, usibeke phambi koAron umbingeleli, ukuba simlungiselele. ⁷Phambi kwentente yokuhlangana baya kugcina isigxina sakhe nesa bandla lonke, besebenza umsebenzi womnquba. ⁸Bogcina yonke impahla yentente yokuhlangana nesigxina soonyana bakwaSirayeli, besebenza umsebenzi womnquba. ⁹Wobanika abaLevi kuAron noonyana bakhe; banikelwe kuye bephela, bevela koonyana bakwaSirayeli. ¹⁰Momisela uAron noonyana bakhe ukuba bagcine ububingeleli babo; owasemzini osukuba esondela makabulawe.”

¹¹Wathi uBawo wethu kuMoses:

¹²“Yabona, ndibathabathile abaLevi phakathi koonyana bakwaSirayeli esikhundleni samazibulo onke avula isizalo koonyana bakwaSirayeli. AbaLevi ngabam. ^a a v12 AbaLevi bathabatha indawo yamazibulo oonyana bakwaSirayeli, awathi ekuqaleni ahlulelwa uThixo mhla wawabulala amazibulo aseYiputa ngexesha lokuphuma kwabo (bona iEksodus 13:2). ¹³Onke amazibulo ngawam. Ngomhla endawabulalayo onke amazibulo ezweni laseYiputa, ndazahlulela onke amazibulo kwaSirayeli—nkqu nomntu nesilwanyana. Aya kuba ngawam. NdinguBawo wenu.”

¹⁴Wathetha uBawo wethu kuMoses entlango yaseSinayi, wathi:

¹⁵“Babale oonyana bakaLevi ngokwezindlu zooyise, nangokwemizalwane yabo; wobabala bonke abangamadoda, uthabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye, unyuse.”

¹⁶Wababala ke uMoses ngokomlomo kaBawo wethu, njengoko wayewiselwe umthetho.

¹⁷Yaba ngabo oonyana bakaLevi ngamagama abo: nguGershon, noKehati, noMerari. ¹⁸Oonyana bakaGershon, ngokwemizalwane yabo, ngamagama abo nguLibheni noShimehi. ¹⁹Oonyana bakaKehati ngokwemizalwane yabo: nguAmram, noItsare, noHebron, noUziyeli. ²⁰Oonyana bakaMerari ngokwemizalwane yabo: nguMaheli, noMushi. Yiyo leyo imizalwane yabaLevi ngokwezindlu zooyise.

²¹KwaGershon: ngumzalwane wamaLibheni, ngumzalwane wamaShimehi—yiyo leyo imizalwane yamaGershon. ²²Inani lababalwayo, bonke abangamadoda bethabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye, banyuse, laba ngamawaka asixhenxe anamakhulu amahlanu.

²³Imizalwane yamaGershon yamisa ngasemva komnquba ngasentshonalanga. ²⁴Inkulu yendlu kayise yamaGershon yayinguEliyasafu, unyana kaLayeli. ²⁵Ententeni yokuhlangana, oonyana bakaGershon babewugcina umnquba, nentente, nesigubungelo sayo, nesisitheliso esisithelisa umnyango wayo intente yokuhlangana. ²⁶Amawunduwundu entendelezo nesisitheliso sokungena kwayo, elijikeleze umnquba nesibingelelo, kwakunye nezintya zayo zenkonzo yayo yonke.

²⁷KwaKehati kwaphuma umzalwane wama-Amram, umzalwane wamaItsare, umzalwane wamaHebron, nomzalwane wamaUziyeli; yiyo leyo imizalwane yamaKehati. ²⁸Abangamadoda, bethabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye, banyuse, baba ngamawaka asibhozo anamakhulu amathandathu, begcina ingcwele.

²⁹Imizalwane yoonyana bakaKehati yamisa ngecala lomnquba elingasezantsi. ³⁰Inkulu yendlu kayise yemizalwane yamaKehati yayinguElitsafan, unyana kaUziyeli. ³¹Babegcina ityeya, itafile, isiphatho sezibane, izibingelelo, neempahla zengcwele ezazisetyenziswa enkonzweni, isisitheliso, nomsebenzi wawo wonke. ³²UElazare, unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli, waba yinkulu yeenkulu zabaLevi, ephethe abo bagcina ingcwele.

³³KwaMerari: ngumzalwane wamaMaheli, ngumzalwane wamaMushi—yiyo leyo imizalwane yamaMerari. ³⁴Inani lababalwayo, bonke abangamadoda bethabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye, banyuse, laba ngamawaka amathandathu anamakhulu amabini.

³⁵Inkulu yendlu kayise yemizalwane yamaMerari yayinguTsuriyeli, unyana ka-Abhihayili; bamisa ngecala lomnquba elingasentla. ³⁶Oonyana bakaMerari babemiselwe iiplanga zomnquba, imivalo yazo, iintsika neziseko zazo, nempahla yawo yonke, kwakunye nomsebenzi wawo wonke, ³⁷kwaneentsika zentendelezo ejikelezileyo, kunye neziseko zazo, izikhonkwane nezintya zazo.

³⁸Ke abamisa ngasempumalanga komnquba, phambi kwentente yokuhlangana ngasempumalanga, yayinguMoses, noAron, noonyana bakhe, abagcina isigxina sengcwele ngenxa yoonyana bakwaSirayeli; owasemzini osukuba esondela wayebulawa. ³⁹Bonke abaLevi awababalayo uMoses noAron ngokomlomo kaBawo wethu, ngokwemizalwane yabo, bonke abangamadoda bethabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye, banyuse: ngamawaka angamashumi amabini anamabini.

Ukukhululwa Kwamazibulo

⁴⁰Wathi uBawo wethu kuMoses: “Babale onke amazibulo angamadoda akwaSirayeli, uthabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye, unyuse, ubhale inani lamagama abo. ⁴¹Ndithabathele abaLevi—ndinguBawo wenu—esikhundleni samazibulo onke oonyana bakaSirayeli, nemfuyo yabaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke emfuyweni yamaSirayeli.”

⁴²Wawabala ke uMoses onke amazibulo oonyana bakaSirayeli, njengoko uBawo wethu wamwiselayo umthetho. ⁴³Onke amazibulo angamadoda, ethabathela konyanga-nye, enyuse, ngenani lamagama, aba ngamawaka angamashumi mabini anamabini, anamakhulu mabini anamanci asixhenxe anamathathu.

⁴⁴Wathetha uBawo wethu kuMoses, wathi:

⁴⁵“Thabatha abaLevi esikhundleni samazibulo onke oonyana bakaSirayeli, nemfuyo yabaLevi esikhundleni semfuyo yabo. AbaLevi boba ngabam. NdinguBawo wenu. ⁴⁶Ngenxa yokukhululwa ngentlawulelo kwamazibulo angamakhulu mabini anamanci asixhenxe anamathathu oonyana bakaSirayeli, agqithileyo kwinani labaLevi, ⁴⁷wothabatha malunga neeawunsi ezimbini ngomntu ngamnye, ngokweshekele yengcwele (umlinganiso ngamnye malunga nesiqingatha seawunsi yesilivere). ⁴⁸Yinike uAron noonyana bakhe imali, ibe lixabiso lokukhululwa ngentlawulelo kwamazibulo angamadoda agqithiseleyo.”

⁴⁹Wayiqokelela ke uMoses imali yentlawulelo kumazibulo awagqithayo inani labaLevi; ⁵⁰kumazibulo akwaSirayeli wathabatha iwaka, elinamakhulu mathathu anamanci mathandathu anesihlanu—malunga neeawunsi ezimbini, ngokweshekele yengcwele. ⁵¹Wayinika uAron noonyana bakhe uMoses imali yentlawulelo, ngokomlomo kaBawo wethu, njengoko uBawo wethu wamwiselayo umthetho uMoses.
