16. Ukukhululwa komntu ke womkhulula ngokummisela, uthabathela kumntwana onyanga-nye, ngokulinganisela kwakho isilivere yeeshekele* ezintlanu ngokweshekele yengcwele, eziigera* ezimashumi mabini.
17. Kodwa amazibulo eenkomo, namazibulo ezimvu, namazibulo eebhokhwe, akuyi kuwakhulula ngokuwamisela. Angcwele wona; igazi lawo wolitshiza esibingelelweni, uqhumisele ngamanqatha awo; kukudla kwasemlilweni ke oko, livumba elithozamisayo kuYehova.
18. Inyama yawo yoba yeyakho; njengencum yomtshangatshangiso, nanjengomlenze wasekunene, yoba yeyakho.
19. Yonke imirhumo engcwele, abayirhumela uYehova oonyana bakaSirayeli, ndiyinika wena, noonyana bakho, neentombi zakho ndawonye nawe, ibe ngummiselo ongunaphakade; ingumnqophiso wetyuwa ongunaphakade phambi koYehova, kuwe nakwimbewu yakho ndawonye nawe.
20. Wathi uYehova kuAron, Ezweni labo akuyi kuba nalifa, akuyi kuba nasabelo phakathi kwabo; ndisisabelo sakho nelifa lakho phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
21. Uyabona, oonyana bakaLevi ndibanika zonke izishumi kwaSirayeli, ukuba zibe lilifa, ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo abasebenza wona, umsebenzi wentente yokuhlangana;
22. bangaphindi oonyana bakaSirayeli basondele ententeni yokuhlangana, hleze bathwale isono bafe.
23. Ke bona abaLevi bosebenza umsebenzi wentente yokuhlangana, babuthwale ubugwenxa babo; ngummiselo ongunaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu. Abayi kuba nalifa phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
24. Ngokuba isishumi soonyana bakaSirayeli, abasirhumela uYehova umrhumo, ndisinika abaLevi sibe lilifa. Ngenxa yoko ndithe kubo, Mabangabi nalifa phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
25. Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
26. Thetha kubaLevi, uthi kubo, Xa nithe nasithabatha koonyana bakaSirayeli isishumi endininika sona, esiphuma kubo sililifa lenu, norhuma ngaso umrhumo kaYehova, ngesishumi sesishumi.
27. Wóthi umrhumo wenu ubalelwe kuni uyingqolowa yasesandeni, uyinzaliseko yasesixovulelweni.
28. Ngokunjalo nani norhuma umrhumo kaYehova ngezishumi zenu zonke enizithabathayo koonyana bakaSirayeli, nimnika uAron umbingeleli kuzo umrhumo kaYehova.
29. Eminikelweni yonke eniyinikiweyo, norhuma imirhumo yonke kaYehova; ekutyebeni kwayo konke norhuma into yakhe eyingcwele ivela kuyo.
30. Uze uthi ke kubo, Ekurhumeni kwenu ukutyeba kwayo, kobalelwa kubaLevi, ilungeniselo lwesandà, ilungeniselo lwesixovulelo.
31. Nòkudla oko ezindaweni zonke, nina nezindlu zenu; kuba ngumvuzo wenu ngenxa yomsebenzi wenu ententeni yokuhlangana.
32. Anisayi kuzithwalisa zono ngenxa yoko ekurhumeni kwenu ukutyeba kwayo okukuyo; anisayi kuzihlambela izinto ezingcwele zoonyana bakaSirayeli; anisayi kufa.
