2 1“Lapho umuntu eletha umnikelo wempuphu kuBaba wethu, lowo mnikelo kumele kube ngufulawa ocolekile. Thela amafutha phezu kwawo, ufake inhlaka phezu kwawo, 2bese uwuletha emadodaneni ka-Aroni, abapristi. Umpristi uyakuthatha isandla esigcwele sofulawa wawo ocolekile namafutha, kanye nenhlaka yawo yonke, bese eshisa isabelo sesikhumbuzo e-altare—umnikelo womlilo, iphunga elimnandi kuBaba wethu. a a v2 Isabelo sesikhumbuzo kwakuyisandla esigcwele umpristi asishisa e-altare, simele umnikelo wonke njengoba wenyukela kuBaba wethu. 3Okusele emnikelweni wempuphu kungokuka-Aroni namadodana akhe—kungcwele kakhulu, kuvela eminikelweni yomlilo kuBaba wethu.
4“Lapho uletha umnikelo wempuphu obhakwe eziko: kube ngufulawa ocolekile, noma izinkwa ezingenamvubelo ezixutshwe namafutha, noma amaqebelengwane angenamvubelo agcotshwe ngamafutha. 5Uma umnikelo wakho kuwumnikelo wempuphu owenziwe ocwecweni, kumele kube ngufulawa ocolekile oxutshwe namafutha, ongenamvubelo. 6Wuhlephule ube yizicucu, uthele amafutha phezu kwawo; kungumnikelo wempuphu. 7Uma umnikelo wakho kuwumnikelo wempuphu ophekwe ngebhodwe, wenze ngofulawa ocolekile namafutha. 8Letha umnikelo wempuphu owenziwe ngalezi zinto kuBaba wethu; wunikele kumpristi, oyakuwuletha e-altare. 9Umpristi athathe isabelo sesikhumbuzo somnikelo wempuphu, asishise e-altare—umnikelo womlilo, iphunga elimnandi kuBaba wethu. 10Okusele emnikelweni wempuphu kungokuka-Aroni namadodana akhe—kungcwele kakhulu, kuvela eminikelweni yomlilo kuBaba wethu.
11“Akukho mnikelo wempuphu owulethayo kuBaba wethu okumele ube nemvubelo, ngokuba akumele ushise imvubelo noma uju njengomnikelo womlilo kuBaba wethu. 12Ungayiletha kuBaba wethu njengomnikelo wezithelo zokuqala, kodwa ungayinikeli e-altare njengephunga elimnandi. 13Faka usawoti kuwo wonke umnikelo wempuphu. Ungawushiyi usawoti wesivumelwano sikaBaba wakho; engeza usawoti kuyo yonke iminikelo yakho. b b v13 Usawoti wawulondoloza ukudla kungaze konakali, ngakho ‘isivumelwano sosawoti’ sasifanekisa isibopho noBaba wethu esihlala njalo nesingeke saphulwa.
14“Uma uletha umnikelo wempuphu wezithelo zokuqala kuBaba wethu, nikela ngezinhlamvu ezisha ezosiwe emlilweni, izinhlamvu ezigxotshiweyo, njengomnikelo wakho wezithelo zokuqala. 15Thela amafutha phezu kwawo, ubeke inhlaka phezu kwawo; kungumnikelo wempuphu. 16Umpristi uyakushisa isabelo sesikhumbuzo—okunye kwezinhlamvu ezigxotshiweyo namafutha—kanye nenhlaka yawo yonke, njengomnikelo womlilo kuBaba wethu.”
