21 ¹UBaba wethu wathi kuMose: “Tshela abapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni: Akekho ongazenza angcole ngenxa yofileyo phakathi kwabantu bakhe, ²ngaphandle kwezihlobo zakhe eziseduze kakhulu—unina, uyise, indodana yakhe, indodakazi yakhe, umfowabo, ³noma udadewabo oyintombi, oseduze naye, ongakendi—ngenxa yakhe angazenza angcole. ⁴Makangazenzi angcole njengomholi phakathi kwabantu bakhe, azihlambalaze.

⁵Mabangaphuci amakhanda abo abe yimpandla, bangagundi imiphetho yezilevu zabo, bangazisiki imizimba yabo. ⁶Mababe ngcwele kuBaba wabo, bangalihlambalazi igama lakhe; banikela iminikelo yokudla kaBaba wethu, isinkwa sakhe, ngakho mababe ngcwele.

⁷Mabangathathi isifebe, noma owenziwe wangcola, noma owahlukaniswa nendoda yakhe, abe ngumfazi; umpristi ungcwele kuBaba wakhe. ⁸Mphatheni njengongcwele—unikela ngesinkwa sikaBaba wenu. Makabe ngcwele kini, ngokuba mina, uBaba wenu onenza ngcwele, uBaba wenu onehlukanisayo, ngingcwele. ⁹Indodakazi yompristi ezihlambalaza ngobufebe ihlambalaza uyise; mayishiswe ngomlilo.

¹⁰Umpristi omkhulu, omkhulu kunabafowabo, okuthelwe amafutha okugcoba ekhanda lakhe, wamiselwa ukuba agqoke izembatho, makangavumeli izinwele zakhe zihlakazeke, angaklebhuli izingubo zakhe. ¹¹Makangasondeli esidunjini, angazenzi angcole, ngisho nangenxa kayise noma kanina. ¹²Makangaphumi endlini engcwele, angahlambalazi indlu engcwele kaBaba wakhe; amafutha akhe okugcoba amehlukanisele. Mina nginguBaba wenu.

¹³Makathathe intombi kuphela. ¹⁴Makangathathi umfelokazi, owesifazane ohlukanisiwe, noma owesifazane owenziwe wangcola ngobufebe—kodwa intombi kuphela kubantu bakubo. ¹⁵ukuze angahlambalazi inzalo yakhe phakathi kwabantu bakhe, ngokuba mina, uBaba wenu, ngiyamenza abe ngcwele—uBaba wakhe omehlukanisayo.”

¹⁷“Khuluma ku-Aroni uthi: Akekho owenzalo yakho, kuzizukulwane ngezizukulwane, onesici ongasondela ukuba anikele ngokudla kukaBaba wakhe. ¹⁸Akekho umuntu onesici ongasondela: impumputhe, isishosha, onobuso obonakele, noma onesitho esikhubazekile, ¹⁹noma umuntu ononyawo olwaphukileyo noma isandla esaphukileyo, ²⁰noma isifumbu, umuntu omfishane kakhulu, onesici emehlweni, onezilonda ezibhibhayo, onamaqhubu, noma onamasende achotshoziweyo. ²¹Akekho owenzalo ka-Aroni umpristi onesici ongasondela ukuba anikele iminikelo yokudla kaBaba wethu; enesici, makangasondeli ukuba anikele ngesinkwa sikaBaba wakhe. ²²Angadla isinkwa sikaBaba wakhe, kokubili okungcwelengcwele nokungcwele. ²³Makangasondeli ngasekhethenini noma asondele e-altare, enesici, ukuze angahlambalazi izindawo zami ezingcwele—ngokuba mina, uBaba wenu, ngiyazenza zibe ngcwele, uBaba wazo ozehlukanisayo.” ^a a v23 Ikhetheni liyisihenqo esingaphakathi esihlukanisa iNdawo eNgcwele neNdawo eNgcwelengcwele ethabernakele.

²⁴Ngakho uMose wakukhuluma lokhu ku-Aroni nakumadodana akhe nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
