Mfumu, Alevi ndi Ansembe

44 Munthu uja anabwerera nane ku chipata chakunja kwa malo opatulika, chomwe chimayangʼana kummawa. Chipatacho chinali chotseka. ² Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Chipata ichi chikhale chotseka, chisatsekulidwe. Wina asalowerepo chifukwa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli walowera pomwepa. ³ Kalonga yekha angathe kukhala mʼmenemo ndi kumadya chakudya pamaso pa Yehova. Iye adzalowere pa njira ya ku khonde lamʼkati ndi kutulukiranso njira yomweyo.”

⁴ Kenaka munthuyo anandidzeretsa pa chipata chakumpoto ndipo tinafika kumaso kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu. Nditapenyetsetsa ndinangoona ulemerero wa Yehova utadzaza mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba.

⁵ Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, samala bwino ndipo uyangʼanitsitse ndi kumvetsa bwino zonse zimene ndikuwuze zokhudza malamulo ndi malangizo a Nyumbayi. Usamalitse za amene angalowe ndi kutuluka mʼNyumbayi. ⁶ Uwuze mtundu wopanduka wa Israeli kuti Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Inu Aisraeli, andikwana machitidwe anu onyansawo! ⁷ Munalowetsa alendo osachita mdulidwe mu mtima ndi mʼthupi momwe mʼNyumba yanga ndipotu anayipitsa Nyumba yanga. Pamene inu munkandipatsa chakudya changa ndi magazi omwe kuwonjezera pa zonyansa zanu zonse ndiye kuti munaphwanya pangano langa. ⁸ Mʼmalo moti muzisamalira zinthu zanga zopatulika, mwayika alendo kuti aziyangʼanira malo anga opatulika. ⁹ Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse akuti: Palibe mlendo wosachita mdulidwe mu mtima ndi mʼthupi ngakhalenso mlendo amene amakhala pakati pa Aisraeli amene adzalowe mʼmalo anga opatulika.

¹⁰ “Ndiponso Alevi amene anandisiya kutali pa nthawi imene Israeli anasochera potsata mafano, adzalangidwa chifukwa cha tchimo lawo. ¹¹ Adzangokhala atumiki chabe mʼmalo anga opatulika. Azidzayangʼanira zipata za Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kugwira ntchito kumeneko. Azidzapha nyama za nsembe zopsereza ndi za nsembe zina za anthu. Choncho azidzayimirira pamaso pa anthu nʼkumawatumikira. ¹² Iwowa ankatumikira anthu popembedza mafano awo, ndipo anachititsa Aisraeli kugwa mu uchimo. Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndikulumbira kuti iwowa ayenera kulangidwa chifukwa cha machimo awo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. ¹³ Iwo sayenera kufika pafupi ndi Ine ndi kunditumikira ngati ansembe, kapena kuyandikira chilichonse cha zinthu zanga zopatulika, kapenanso zopereka zanga zopatulika kwambiri. Iwo adzachititsidwa manyazi chifukwa cha machitidwe awo onyansa. ¹⁴ Komabe ndidzawayika kuti aziyangʼanira Nyumba yanga ndi kutumikira pa ntchito zake zonse zoyenera kuti zigwiridwe mʼmenemo.

¹⁵ “Koma ansembe, a fuko la Levi, a banja la Zadoki amene ankatumikira mokhulupirika ku malo anga opatulika pa nthawi imene Aisraeli anasochera ndi kundisiya Ine; iwowa adzasendera kwa Ine kudzanditumikira. Adzafika pamaso panga kuti apereke nsembe za mafuta ndi magazi. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. ¹⁶ Okhawa ndiwo adzalowe ku malo anga opatulika ndi kudzayandikira tebulo langa kuti adzanditumikire. Amenewa okha ndiwo adzasamalire zinthu zanga.

¹⁷ “Pamene alowa ku zipata za bwalo lamʼkati azivala zovala zabafuta. Asamavale chovala china chilichonse cha ubweya wankhosa pamene akutumikira pa zipata za bwalo la mʼkati kapena kunja kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu. ¹⁸ Azivala nduwira za bafuta ndi kabudula wabafuta mʼkati. Asavale chilichonse chowachititsa thukuta. ¹⁹ Pamene atuluka ndi kupita ku bwalo lakunja kumene kuli anthu, azivula zovala zimene amatumikira nazo, ndipo azisiye zovalazo mu zipinda zopatulika. Pambuyo pake avale zovala zina, kuopa kuti angapatsireko kuyera anthu enawo ndi zovala zawozo.

²⁰ “ ‘Ansembe asamamete mpala kapena kusunga tsitsi lalitali kwambiri, koma azingoliyepula. ²¹ Wansembe asamwe vinyo pamene ali pafupi kulowa mʼbwalo la mʼkati. ²² Iwo asakwatire akazi amasiye kapena osudzulidwa; koma azikwatira anamwali osadziwa mwamuna a fuko la Israeli kapena akazi amasiye a ansembe anzawo. ²³ Ansembe aziphunzitsa anthu anga kusiyanitsa pakati pa zinthu zopatulika ndi zinthu wamba, ndiponso pakati pa zinthu zoyenera ndi zosayenera kuperekedwa nsembe.

²⁴ “ ‘Pakakhala milandu, ansembe azikhala oweruza ndipo agamule milanduyo potsata malamulo anga. Atsate malamulo anga ndi malangizo anga pa za masiku anga onse a chikondwerero. Asamalirenso kuti masiku anga a Sabata akhale oyera.

²⁵ “ ‘Wansembe asadziyipitse pokhudza munthu wakufa, pokhapokha ngati wakufayo ndi abambo ake kapena amayi ake, mwana wake wamwamuna kapena wamkazi, mʼbale wake kapena mlongo wake wosakwatiwa. ²⁶ Atatha kuyeretsedwa adikirebe masiku asanu ndi awiri kuti ayere ndithu. ²⁷ Pa tsiku lomwe akukalowa mʼbwalo la mʼkati la malo opatulika kuti akatumikire, apereke nsembe yopepesera machimo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.

²⁸ “ ‘Ansembe asadzakhale ndi cholowa chilichonse ayi. Cholowa chawo ndi Ine. Musadzawapatse chuma mu Israeli; Ine ndidzakhala chuma chawo. ²⁹ Iwo azidzadya nsembe ya chakudya, nsembe yopereka chifukwa cha tchimo ndi nsembe yopepesera machimo. Zinthu zonse zoperekedwa kwa Yehova mu Israeli zidzakhala zawo. ³⁰ Zabwino za zipatso zanu zoyambirira kucha ndiponso mphatso zanu zonse zapadera zidzakhala za ansembe. Inu muziwapatsa chigawo choyamba cha ufa wanu kuti pa nyumba panu pakhale madalitso. ³¹ Ansembe sayenera kudya kalikonse kofa kokha, kaya mbalame, kapena nyama. Kapena yochita kujiwa.’ ”
