Eksodusi 30:1-38
30 “Kufanele wente li-al’thare lokutawushiselwa kulo imphepho,+ futsi ulente ngesigodvo semgamba.+
2 Kufanele libe sikwele, budze balo bube ngemasentimitha langaba ngu-45,* bubanti balo bube ngemasentimitha langaba ngu-45, kuphakama kwalo kube ngemasentimitha langaba ngu-89.* Timphondvo talo titawuba yintfo yinye naleli-al’thare.+
3 Incenye yalo lengetulu, kanye nato tonkhe tinhlangotsi talo netimphondvo talo ubotinameka ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe. Ubokwenta umhlobiso weligolide lotawuba semaphetselweni alo.
4 Kufanele wente emajiva lamabili eligolide, abe ngentansi kwalomhlobiso etinhlangotsini taleli-al’thare letimbili letibukene. Kulamajiva kutawufakwa tindvuku letitawusetjentiselwa kutfwala leli-al’thare.
5 Ubokwenta letindvuku ngesigodvo sesihlahla semgamba bese utinameka ngeligolide.
6 Leli-al’thare utalibeka embikwendvwangu lesedvute nelibhokisi leBufakazi,+ embikwesimbonyo lesimbonye lelibhokisi leBufakazi, lapho ngitawubonakala khona kini.+
7 “Aroni+ utawushisa imphepho+ etikwaleli-al’thare+ kuze intfutfu ishunce isuka kulo, njalo nje ekuseni nakalungisa tibane.+
8 Nakakhanyisa tibane nasekucala kuhwalala,* Aroni utawuphindze ashise imphepho. Lona ngumnikelo wemphepho lokufanele wentiwe njalo embikwaJehova kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu.
9 Akukafaneli ninikele etikwalo ngemphepho lengemukeleki+ nobe ninikele ngemnikelo wekushiswa nobe ngemnikelo walokutinhlavu, futsi akukafaneli nitsele umnikelo walokunatfwako etikwalo.
10 Kanye ngemnyaka, Aroni kufanele ente umnikelo wekubuyisana naNkulunkulu etimphondvweni taleli-al’thare.+ Utalihlambulula kanye ngemnyaka asebentisa lenye yengati yemnikelo wesono lowentelwa kubuyisana naNkulunkulu,+ futsi loku kutakwentiwa kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu. Leli-al’thare lingcwele ngalokuphelele kuJehova.”
11 Ngemuva kwaloko Jehova watsi kuMosi:
12 “Ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi nawenta lubalo lwemadvodzana aka-Israyeli,+ nguloyo naloyo kufanele anike Jehova inhlawulo yekuphila kwakhe. Loku kufanele bakwente kuze bangehlelwa sishayo nababhaliswa.
13 Naku lokufanele kukhishwe ngibo bonkhe lababhaliswako: lisiliva lelingemagremu langaba sitfupha* lelikalwe ngesisindvo lesisemtsetfweni sasendzaweni lengcwele.*+ Lishekeli lingemagera* langu-20, futsi lisiliva lelingemagremu langaba sitfupha ngilo lokufanele linikelwe kuJehova.+
14 Bonkhe lababhalisiwe labaneminyaka lengu-20 kuya etulu budzala kufanele bakhiphe lomnikelo waJehova.+
15 Labanjingile akukafaneli bakhiphe kakhulu, nalabeswele akukafaneli bakhiphe ngaphansi kwalelisiliva lelingemagremu langaba sitfupha* nabenta lomnikelo waJehova wekubuyisana naye.
16 Kufanele utsatse lemali yelisiliva ema-Israyeli layinikelele kubuyisana naNkulunkulu, uyisebentisele imisebenti yasethendeni lekuhlangana, kuze ibe sikhumbuto embikwaJehova ngenca yema-Israyeli futsi inente nibuyisane naNkulunkulu.”
17 Jehova wachubeka watsi kuMosi:
18 “Ubokwenta indishi yelitfusi netinyawo letawubekwa kuto,+ bese uyibeka emkhatsini welithende lekuhlangana neli-al’thare futsi utsele emanti kuyo.+
19 Aroni nemadvodzana akhe batawugeza tandla netinyawo tabo kulendishi.+
20 Kufanele bageze kulamanti lakulendishi nabangena ethendeni lekuhlangana nobe nabasondzela e-al’thare bayokwenta imisebenti yebaphristi neminikelo yemlilo kuze intfutfu yaleminikelo yenyukele kuJehova, khona bangatewukufa.
21 Kufanele bageze tandla netinyawo tabo kuze bangafi, futsi loku kutawuba ngumtsetfo lohlala njalo lokufanele ugcinwe ngibo kanye nebantfwana babo kuto tonkhe titukulwane tabo.”+
22 Jehova waphindze watsi kuMosi:
23 “Tsatsa emakha elikhetselo: emakhilogremu lasitfupha emure leyomile, emakhilogremu lamatsatfu esinamoni lenuka kamnandzi, emakhilogremu lamatsatfu ekhalamu lenuka kamnandzi,
24 emakhilogremu lasitfupha ekhasiya lakalwe ngesisindvo lesisemtsetfweni sasendzaweni lengcwele*+ kanye nemakhilogremu langaba matsatfu nehhafu* emafutsa emncumo.
25 Lamakha kufanele wente ngawo emafutsa ekugcoba langcwele, futsi kufanele ahlanganiswe ngebuciko.*+ Lawa kutawuba ngemafutsa ekugcoba langcwele.
26 “Kufanele ugcobe lelithende lekuhlangana+ nelibhokisi leBufakazi ngalamafutsa,
27 ugcobe litafula nato tonkhe tintfo letitawusetjentiswa kulo, lutsi lwesibane nato tonkhe tintfo letitawusetjentiswa kulo, neli-al’thare lekushisa imphepho,
28 li-al’thare lokwentelwa kulo umnikelo wekushiswa kanye nato tonkhe tintfo letitawusetjentiswa kulo, nalendishi kanye netinyawo lebekwa kuto.
29 Letintfo kufanele utingcwelise kuze tibe ngcwele ngalokuphelele.+ Nobe ngubani lotitsintsako kufanele abe ngcwele.+
30 Kufanele ugcobe Aroni+ nemadvodzana akhe+ futsi ubangcwelise kuze bangikhonte njengebaphristi.+
31 “Ubokhuluma nema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Lamafutsa kufanele ahlale angemafutsa ekugcoba langcwele kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu.+
32 Akukafaneli bantfu bagcobise ngawo, futsi akukafaneli nente lamanye emafutsa ngalendlela. Lamafutsa angcwele, ngako kufanele achubeke angcwele kini.
33 Nobe ngubani lowenta emafutsa lafana nalawa futsi agcobe ngawo umuntfu longakafaneli,* utawubulawa.’”+
34 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi: “Tsatsa sikali lesilinganako sanankha emakha:+ sitakathi, i-oninkha, igalibhanume lenuka kamnandzi nemakha lahlantekile esihlahla semphepho.
35 Kufanele wente imphepho+ ngalamakha, futsi ahlanganiswe ngebuciko,* afakwe luswayi,+ ahlanteke aphindze abe ngcwele.
36 Kufanele usile lenye yalemphepho ibe yimphuphu lecolisakele bese lenye yalemphuphu uyibeka embikwelibhokisi leBufakazi ethendeni lekuhlangana, lapho ngitawubonakala khona kuwe. Lemphepho kufanele ibe ngcwele ngalokuphelele kini.
37 Lemphepho lotawuyenta+ akukafaneli utisebentisele yona. Kufanele uyitsatse njengentfo lengcwele kuJehova.
38 Nobe ngubani lotawukwenta imphepho lefana nalena kuze ajatjuliswe liphunga layo, kufanele abulawe.”
