26 Yehova anayitana Mose mu tenti ya msonkhano. Iye anati, “Aliyense wa inu ngati abwera ndi nsembe kwa Yehova kuchokera pa ziweto zake, choperekacho chikhale ngʼombe, nkhosa kapena mbuzi.
“ ‘Ngati munthu apereka nsembe yopsereza ya ngʼombe, ikhale yayimuna yopanda chilema. Aziyipereka pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano, kuti Yehova alandire. Munthuyo asanjike dzanja lake pa mutu pa nsembe yopserezayo, ndipo idzalandiridwa kuti ikhale yopepesera machimo ake. Pambuyo pake aphe ngʼombeyo pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo ansembe, ana a Aaroni, atenge magazi ake ndi kuwawaza mbali zonse za guwa lansembe limene lili pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Munthuyo asende nsembe yopserezayo ndi kuyidula nthulinthuli. Ndipo ana a Aaroni, wansembe uja asonkhe moto pa guwa ndi kuyalapo nkhuni pa motopo. Kenaka ana a Aaroni, wansembe uja, ayike nthuli za nyamayo, mutu wake pamodzi ndi mafuta omwe pa nkhuni zimene zili paguwapo. Munthuyo atsuke zamʼkati mwa nyamayo pamodzi ndi miyendo yake yomwe, ndipo wansembe awotche nyama yonse paguwapo. Iyi ndi nsembe yopsereza, chopereka chowotcha pa moto, cha fungo lokomera Yehova.
“ ‘Koma ngati chopereka cha nsembe yopserezayo ndi nkhosa kapena mbuzi kuchokera pa ziweto zake, munthuyo apereke yayimuna yopanda chilema. Ayiphere kumpoto kwa guwa, pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo ana a Aaroni amene ndi ansembe, awaze magazi ake mbali zonse za guwalo. Kenaka ayidule nyamayo nthulinthuli, ndipo wansembe ayike nthulizo pa guwa, atengenso mutu ndi mafuta omwe, ndipo ayike zonsezi pa nkhuni zimene zikuyaka pa guwa. Munthuyo atsuke zamʼkati mwa nyamayo pamodzi ndi miyendo yake yomwe, ndipo wansembe abwere nazo zonse ndi kuzitentha pa guwa. Iyi ndi nsembe yopsereza, chopereka chotentha pa moto, fungo lokomera Yehova.
“ ‘Koma ngati chopereka kwa Yehova ndi nsembe yopsereza ya mbalame, ndiye ikhale njiwa kapena mawunda. Wansembe abwere nayo ku guwa, ayidule mutu moyipotola ndi kutentha mutuwo pa guwa. Magazi ake awathire pansi kuti ayenderere pambali pa guwa. Iye achotse chithokomiro pamodzi ndi nthenga zake zomwe ndi kuzitaya ku malo wotayirako phulusa, kummawa kwa guwalo. Kenaka ayingʼambe pakati, koma asachotse mapiko. Ndipo wansembe ayiwotche pa nkhuni zimene zikuyaka pa guwa. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopsereza, yowotcha pa moto ndiponso ya fungo lokomera Yehova.
Nsembe Zachakudya
“ ‘Munthu wina aliyense akabwera ndi nsembe ya chakudya kwa Yehova, chopereka chake chizikhala ufa wosalala. Ufawo ausakanize ndi mafuta ndi lubani, ndipo apite nawo kwa ansembe, ana a Aaroni. Atapeko modzazitsa dzanja ufa wosalala uja kuti ukhale wachikumbutso pamodzi ndi mafuta ndi lubani ndipo atenthe zonsezi pa guwa lansembe kuti zilandiridwe ndi Yehova mʼmalo mwa chopereka chonse. Iyi ndi nsembe yotentha pa moto ndiponso fungo lokomera Yehova. Zotsala za nsembe ya chakudyazo ndi za Aaroni pamodzi ndi ana ake. Chimenechi ndi chigawo chopatulika kwambiri chifukwa chatapidwa pa chopereka chotentha pa moto cha Yehova.
“ ‘Ukabweretsa nsembe ya chakudya chophika mu uvuni, ikhale ya buledi wa ufa wosalala wopanda yisiti koma wosakaniza ndi mafuta, kapena timitanda ta buledi topyapyala, topanda yisiti koma topaka mafuta. Ngati nsembe yako yachakudya ndi yophika pa chitsulo chamoto, ikhale ya buledi wa ufa wosalala wopanda yisiti koma wosakaniza ndi mafuta. Umuduledule bulediyo ndi kumupaka mafuta; imeneyo ndi nsembe yachakudya. Ngati nsembe yako yachakudya ndi yophikidwa pa chiwaya, ikhale ya buledi wa ufa wosalala wosakaniza ndi mafuta. Munthu azibwera ndi nsembe za chakudya zimene wapanga ndi zinthu zimenezi. Atachipereka kwa wansembe, iyeyu adzipita nacho ku guwa. Wansembeyo atengeko gawo lina la nsembeyo kukhala ufa wachikumbutso kuti ilandiridwe ndi Yehova mʼmalo mwa nsembe yonse ndipo ayitenthe pa moto monga nsembe yopsereza ya fungo lokomera Yehova. Zotsala za nsembe ya chakudyayo zikhale za Aaroni ndi ana ake. Chimenechi ndi chigawo chopatulika kwambiri chifukwa chatapidwa pa chopereka chotentha pa moto cha Yehova.
“ ‘Nsembe ya chakudya chilichonse imene ubweretsa kwa Yehova ikhale yopanda yisiti, pakuti suyenera kupereka kwa Yehova nsembe yotentha pa moto imene ili ndi yisiti kapena uchi. Ziwirizi ungathe kubwera nazo kwa Yehova ngati chopereka cha zokolola zoyambirira. Koma usazitenthe pa guwa kuti zikhale fungo lokomera Yehova. Zopereka zako zonse zachakudya uzithire mchere. Usayiwale kuthira mchere pa chopereka chako popeza mcherewo ukusonyeza pangano pakati pa iwe ndi Mulungu wako. Tsono uzinthira mchere pa chopereka chako chilichonse.
“ ‘Mukamapereka kwa Yehova chopereka cha chakudya choyamba kucha, choperekacho chikhale cha chipatso chatsopano chokazinga pa moto ndi chopunthapuntha. Uchithire mafuta ndi lubani pakuti ndi chopereka cha chakudya. Tsono wansembe atenthe gawo la chopereka chopunthapuntha chija kuti chikhala ufa wachikumbutso ndi cha mafuta pamodzi ndi lubani yense kuti Yehova alandire mʼmalo mwa zopereka zonse. Ichi ndi chopereka chotentha pa moto cha Yehova.
Nsembe Yachiyanjano
“ ‘Ngati munthu apereka nsembe ya chiyanjano kwa Yehova, ndipo choperekacho nʼkukhala ngʼombe yayimuna kapena yayikazi, ikhale yopanda chilema. Munthuyo asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa ngʼombeyo, ndipo ayiphere pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Ndipo ansembe, ana a Aaroni, awaze magazi mbali zonse za guwalo. Pa nsembe yachiyanjanopo, ayenera kupatula zamʼkati mwa nyamayo ndi mafuta onse amene amakuta zamʼkati kupereka nsembe ya chakudya kwa Yehova. Apatulenso impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta ake omwe ndiponso mafuta okuta chiwindi amene achotsedwa pamodzi ndi impsyo zija. Ndipo ana a Aaroni atenthe zimenezi pa guwa, pamwamba pa chopereka chopsereza chimene chili pa nkhuni zoyakazo. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yotentha pa moto, ya fungo lokomera Yehova.
“ ‘Ngati munthu apereka nsembe ya chiyanjano kwa Yehova, choperekacho chikhale nkhosa yayimuna kapena yayikazi yopanda chilema. Ngati apereka nsembe ya mwana wankhosa, abwere naye pamaso pa Yehova. Asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa nkhosayo ndipo ayiphere pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Ndipo ana a Aaroni awaze magaziwo mbali zonse za guwalo. Pa nsembe yachiyanjanopo ayenera kuchotsa ndi kubweretsa: mafuta a nkhosayo, mchira wake wonse wonona atawudulira mʼtsinde pafupi ndi fupa la msana, zamʼkati zonse ndi mafuta onse amene akuta ziwalo zamʼkatimo, impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta amene akuta impsyozo, msonga ya chiwindi imene idzachotsedwere limodzi ndi impsyozo. Wansembe awotche zonsezi pa guwa. Ichi ndi chakudya chotentha pa moto choperekedwa kwa Yehova.
“ ‘Ngati munthuyo apereka mbuzi ngati nsembe, abwere nayo kwa Yehova. Asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa mbuziyo ndipo ayiphere pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Ndipo ana a Aaroni awaze magazi ake mbali zonse za guwa. Tsono pa nsembe yoti iwotchedwe kukhala nsembe chakudya ya Yehova, achotse ndi kubweretsa: mafuta onse amene amaphimba zamʼkati kapena mafuta onse a mʼkatimo, impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta onse omwe akuta impsyozo ndi msonga ya chiwindi imene adzachotsera pamodzi ndi impsyo zija. Wansembe awotche zonsezi pa guwa. Ichi ndi chakudya cha Yehova, chowotcha pa moto ndiponso cha fungo lokomera Yehova. Mafuta onse ndi a Yehova.
“ ‘Limeneli likhale lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse kuti musadzadye mafuta kapena magazi kulikonse kumene mudzakhale.’ ”
Nsembe Yopepesera Tchimo
Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose kuti, “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Munthu akachimwa mosadziwa ndi kuchita chilichonse chimene Yehova walamula kuti asachite, azichita izi:
“ ‘Ngati wansembe wodzozedwa achimwa, ndi kuchimwitsa anthu onse, iyeyu ayenera kupereka mwana wangʼombe wamphongo wopanda chilema chifukwa cha tchimo limene wachitalo. Imeneyi ndi nsembe ya Yehova yopepesera tchimo lake. Wansembeyo abwere nayo ngʼombeyo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano pamaso pa Yehova. Asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa ngʼombeyo ndipo ayiphe pamaso pa Yehova. Kenaka wansembe wodzozedwa atengeko magazi a ngʼombeyo ndi kulowa nawo mu tenti ya msonkhano. Iye aviyike chala chake mʼmagazi, ndipo awawaze kasanu ndi kawiri pamaso pa Yehova, patsogolo pa katani yotchinga malo wopatulika. Kenaka wansembe apake magaziwo pa nyanga za guwa lofukizira lubani limene lili pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano. Magazi ena otsalawo awathire pa tsinde pa guwa lansembe zopsereza, limene lili pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Pambuyo pake achotse mafuta onse a ngʼombe yayimuna yopepesera machimoyo: mafuta okuta zamʼkati kapena mafuta onse amʼkatimo. Achotsenso ndi kubwera ndi impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta onse ndiponso mafuta onse amene aphimba chiwindi ndi impsyo monga momwe amachotsera mafuta a ngʼombe yoperekedwa kuti ikhale chopereka chachiyanjano. Tsono wansembe atenthe zimenezi pa guwa lansembe zopsereza. Koma chikopa cha ngʼombe yayimunayo ndi mnofu wake wonse, pamodzi ndi mutu ndi miyendo, zamʼkati ndi matumbo, kapena kuti ngʼombe yonse yotsalayo apite nayo kunja kwa msasa ku malo woyeretsedwa, kumene amatayako phulusa ndi kuyitentha pa nkhuni, pa phulusapo.
“ ‘Ngati gulu lonse la Aisraeli lichimwa mosadziwa, nachita chomwe ndi choletsedwa ndi Yehova, ngakhale kuti gulu lonselo silikudziwa kuti lachimwa, anthuwo ndi olakwa ndithu. Akazindikira tchimo limene achita, gulu lonse lipereke mwana wangʼombe wamphongo kuti akhale chopereka chopepesera tchimo ndipo abwere naye pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Akuluakulu a anthuwo asanjike manja awo pa mutu pa ngʼombe pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo ayiphe pomwepo pamaso pa Yehova. Tsono wansembe wodzozedwa atengeko magazi a ngʼombeyo ndi kulowa nawo mu tenti ya msonkhano. Aviyike chala chake mʼmagaziwo ndi kuwawaza pamaso pa Yehova kasanu ndi kawiri patsogolo pa nsalu yotchinga. Pambuyo pake iye apake magaziwo pa nyanga za guwa limene lili pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano. Magazi ena otsalawo awathire pa tsinde pa guwa lansembe zopsereza limene lili pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Kenaka achotse mafuta onse a ngʼombeyo ndi kuwatentha pa guwa, ndipo achite ndi ngʼombe yayimunayi monga anachitira ndi ngʼombe yayimuna yopepesera machimo. Potero, wansembe adzapereka nsembe yopepesera anthu, ndipo machimo awo adzakhululukidwa. Kenaka atulutse ngʼombeyo kunja kwa msasa ndi kuyitentha monga anatenthera ngʼombe yoyamba ija. Imeneyi ndiyo nsembe yopepesera machimo a gulu lonse.
“ ‘Ngati mtsogoleri achimwa mosadziwa nachita zimene ndi zoletsedwa ndi Yehova Mulungu wake, ndiye kuti wapalamula. Ndipo ngati wauzidwa za tchimo limene wachita, iye abwere ndi mbuzi yayimuna yopanda chilema kuti ikhale chopereka chake. Asanjike dzanja lake pa mutu wa mbuziyo ndi kuyiphera pamalo pamene amaphera zopereka zopsereza pamaso pa Yehova. Ichi ndi chopereka chopepesera tchimo. Pambuyo pake wansembe atengeko magazi a chopereka chopepesera tchimocho ndi chala chake, ndipo awapake pa nyanga za guwa lansembe zopsereza. Athire magazi otsalawo pa tsinde la guwalo. Wansembeyo atenthe mafuta onse pa guwapo monga amatenthera chopereka chachiyanjano. Pochita zimenezi, wansembe adzapereka nsembe yopepesera tchimo la munthuyo, ndipo adzakhululukidwa.
“ ‘Ngati munthu wamba achimwa mosadziwa nachita zimene ndi zoletsedwa ndi Yehova, ndiye kuti wapalamula. Ndipo ngati wauzidwa za tchimo limene wachita, abweretse mbuzi yayikazi yopanda chilema kuti ikhale chopereka chopepesera tchimo. Asanjike dzanja lake pamutu pa mbuziyo ndipo ayiphe pamalo pamene amaphera chopereka chopsereza. Ndipo wansembe atenge magazi ndi chala chake ndi kuwapaka pa nyanga za guwa lansembe zopsereza ndi kuthira magazi wotsalawo pa tsinde la guwalo. Kenaka iye achotse mafuta onse monga momwe anachotsera mafuta a chopereka chachiyanjano, ndipo awatenthe pa guwa kuti akhale fungo lokomera Yehova. Potero, wansembe adzapereka nsembe yopepesera tchimo la munthuyo ndipo adzakhululukidwa.
“ ‘Ngati munthu apereka mwana wankhosa ngati chopereka chopepesera tchimo lake, abwere ndi mwana wankhosa wamkazi wopanda chilema. Asanjike dzanja lake pa mutu wa mwana wankhosayo ndipo amuphe pamalo pamene amaphera chopereka chopsereza. Kenaka wansembe atengeko ndi chala chake magazi a mwana wankhosa uja ndi kuwapaka pa nyanga za guwa lansembe zopsereza. Magazi otsalawo athire pa tsinde la guwalo. Iye achotse mafuta onse, monga amachotsera mafuta a mwana wankhosa wa chopereka chachiyanjano, ndipo wansembe awatenthe pa guwa pamodzi ndi zopereka zina zopsereza za Yehova. Potero, wansembe adzapereka nsembe yopepesera tchimo limene munthuyo anachita ndipo adzakhululukidwa.
“ ‘Ngati munthu anayitanidwa ku bwalo kuti akachitire umboni pa zimene anaziona kapena kuzimva koma iye nʼkukana kuchitira umboni, munthu ameneyo wachimwa ndipo ayenera kulangidwa.
“ ‘Munthu akakhudza chinthu chilichonse chodetsedwa, monga nyama yakufa ya mʼthengo, kapena chiweto chakufa kapenanso chokwawa chakufa, ngakhale iyeyo wachikhudza mosadziwa, wasanduka wodetsedwa ndipo wachimwa.
“ ‘Munthu akakhudza choyipitsa munthu cha mtundu uliwonse, ndipo pochikhudzapo ndi kuyipitsidwa nacho mosadziwa, munthuyo adzakhala wopalamula akangodziwa chimene wachitacho.

“ ‘Pamene munthu wazindikira kuti wachimwa motere, awulule tchimo limene wachitalo. Pambuyo pake, munthuyo abwere kwa Yehova ndi mwana wankhosa wamkazi kapena mbuzi kuti ikhale chopereka chopepesera tchimo ndipo wansembe achite mwambo wopepesera tchimo lomwe wachitalo. Tsono wansembe achite mwambo wopepesera tchimo la munthuyo.
“ ‘Ngati munthuyo alibe mwana wankhosa, abweretse njiwa ziwiri kapena nkhunda ziwiri kwa Yehova ngati chopereka chopepesera tchimo lake. Imodzi ikhale nsembe yopepesera tchimo, ndipo inayo ikhale nsembe yopsereza. Tsono abwere nazo kwa wansembe, ndipo wansembeyo ayambe wapereka mbalame imodzi ngati yopepesera tchimo. Apotole khosi koma osayidula mutu, kenaka awaze magazi a chopereka chopepesera tchimocho mʼmbali mwa guwa. Magazi ena onse awathire pa tsinde la guwa. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera tchimo. Pambuyo pake wansembe apereke mbalame inayo kuti ikhale chopereka chopsereza potsata mwambo wake. Wansembe atatha kupereka nsembe yopepesera tchimo limene munthu uja wachita, wochimwayo adzakhululukidwa.
“ ‘Koma ngati munthuyo alibe njiwa ziwiri kapena nkhunda ziwiri, abweretse ufa wosalala wokwanira kilogalamu imodzi kuti ukhale chopereka chopepesera tchimo limene wachita. Asathiremo mafuta kapena lubani chifukwa ndi chopereka chopepesera tchimo. Abweretse ufawo kwa wansembe ndipo wansembeyo atapeko dzanja limodzi kuti ukhale ufa wachikumbutso ndi kuwutentha pa guwa pamodzi ndi chopereka chopsereza kwa Yehova. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera tchimo. Umu ndi mmene wansembe adzachitire mwambo wopepesera machimo ena aliwonse amene munthu wachita, ndipo munthuyo adzakhululukidwa.

Chopereka Chopepesera Kupalamula
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Munthu akachita zinthu mosakhulupirika, nachimwa mosadziwa posapereka zinthu zopatulika zofunika kwa Yehova, munthuyo apereke kwa Yehova nsembe yopepesera machimo ake. Nsembeyo ikhale nkhosa yayimuna yopanda chilema ndipo mtengo wake ukhale wokwana masekeli oyenera a siliva pakawerengedwe ka ku Nyumba ya Mulungu. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera kupalamula. Munthuyo ayenera kubweza zinthu zopatulika zimene sanaperekezo. Awonjezepo chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu zilizonse ndi kuzipereka zonsezo kwa wansembe amene adzachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a munthuyo, popereka nkhosa yayimuna ija ngati nsembe yopepesera ndipo wochimwayo adzakhululukidwa.
“Ngati munthu wachimwa mosadziwa pochita chilichonse chimene Yehova salola, munthuyo ndi wopalamula ndithu, ndipo ayenera kulangidwa. Abwere kwa wansembe ndi chopereka chopepesera kupalamula kwake. Chopereka chikhale nkhosa yayimuna yopanda chilema ndipo mtengo wake ukhale woyenera nsembe yopepesera kupalamula kumene anachimwa mosadziwako, ndipo munthuyo adzakhululukidwa. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera kupalamula popeza munthuyo wapezeka wolakwa pamaso pa Yehova.”
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Ngati munthu wina aliyense achimwa, nachita zinthu mosakhulupirika kwa Yehova chifukwa cha kunyenga mnzake pokana kumubwezera zimene anamusungitsa, kapena kumubera kapenanso kumulanda, kapena ndi kunama kuti sanatole chinthu chimene chinatayika, kapena kulumbira mwachinyengo pa chinthu chilichonse chimene munthu akachita amachimwa nacho, ndi wopalamula ndithu, ndipo ayenera kubweza zimene anabazo, zimene analanda mwachinyengozo, zimene anamusungitsazo, zimene anatolazo kapena zimene analumbira monyengazo. Pa tsiku limene apezeke kuti wapalamuladi, iye ayenera kumubwezera mwini wake zinthu zonsezi ndi kuwonjezerapo chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu zilizonse. Pambuyo pake apereke kwa Yehova nsembe yopalamula. Nsembe yake ikhale nkhosa yayimuna yopanda chilema ndipo mtengo wake wogwirizana ndi nsembe yopepesera machimo. Kenaka wansembe achite mwambo wopepesera tchimo la munthuyo pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo adzakhululukidwa chilichonse chomwe anachita kuti akhale wopalamula.”
Nsembe Yopsereza
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Lamula Aaroni ndi ana ake kuti, ‘Lamulo la nsembe yopsereza ndi ili: Nsembe yopserezayo izikhala pa moto pa guwa usiku wonse mpaka mmawa, ndipo moto wa paguwapo uzikhala ukuyaka nthawi zonse. Tsono wansembe avale mkanjo wake wa nsalu yofewa ndi yosalala. Mʼkati avalenso kabudula wofewa, wosalala. Pambuyo pake atenge phulusa la nyama imene yatenthedwa pa guwa lansembe paja ndi kulithira pambali pa guwa lomwelo. Akatero avule zovala zakezo ndi kuvala zovala zina. Kenaka atulutse phulusalo ndi kukaliyika pa malo woyeretsedwa kunja kwa chithando. Moto wa pa guwa uzikhala ukuyaka nthawi zonse, usamazime. Mmawa uliwonse wansembe aziwonjezerapo nkhuni pa motopo ndi kukonza nsembe yopsereza, ndi kutentha mafuta a nsembe yachiyanjano pamenepo. Moto uzikhala ukuyaka pa guwa nthawi zonse ndipo usazimepo.
Nsembe Zachakudya
“ ‘Lamulo la nsembe yachakudya ndi ili: ana a Aaroni azibwera nayo nsembeyo pamaso pa Yehova, patsogolo pa guwa. Wansembe mmodzi atapeko dzanja limodzi la ufa wosalala wa nsembe yachakudya ija kuti ukhala ufa wachikumbutso ndi mafuta pamodzi ndi lubani yense amene ali pa nsembe ya chakudyacho, ndipo azitenthe pa guwa kuti zilandiridwe ndi Yehova mʼmalo mwa nsembe yonse kuti zikhale nsembe ya fungo lokomera Yehova. Aaroni ndi ana ake azidya zimene zatsala koma azidya zopanda yisiti ku malo wopatulika, ku bwalo la tenti ya msonkhano. Poziphika asathire yisiti. Ndawapatsa zotsalazo kuti zikhale gawo lawo la nsembe zanga zopsereza. Zonsezi ndi zopatulika kwambiri monga nsembe yopepesera tchimo ndiponso nsembe yopepesera machimo. Mwana aliyense wamwamuna wa Aaroni azidyako za nsembe zopsereza zopereka kwa Yehova. Ndi gawo lake lokhazikika la chopereka chopsereza kwa Yehova pa mibado yanu yonse. Chilichonse chimene chidzakhudza nsembezo chidzakhala chopatulika.’ ”
Yehova anawuzanso Mose kuti, “Nsembe imene Aaroni ndi ana ake ayenera kupereka kwa Yehova pa tsiku limene wansembe akudzozedwa ndi iyi: ufa wosalala kilogalamu imodzi ngati chopereka chachakudya cha nthawi zonse. Azipereka theka limodzi mmawa ndipo theka linalo madzulo. Ipangidwe ndi mafuta pa chiwaya ndipo ubwere nayo ili yosakaniza bwino, yophikidwa mitandamitanda monga amachitira ndi nsembe yachakudya. Iphikidwe moti itulutse fungo lokomera Yehova. Mwana wa fuko la Aaroni amene adzadzozedwe kukhala wansembe kulowa mʼmalo mwa Aaroni ndiye amene azidzakonza ndi kupereka nsembeyi kwa Yehova nthawi zonse monga kunalembedwera. Nsembe iliyonse yachakudya ya wansembe izitenthedwa kwathunthu, isamadyedwe.”
Nsembe Yopepesera Tchimo
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti “Uza Aaroni ndi ana ake kuti, ‘Malamulo a nsembe ya tchimo ndi awa: Nsembeyi iziphedwa pamaso pa Yehova pa malo pamene mumaphera nsembe yopsereza popeza ndi nsembe yopatulika. Wansembe amene apereke nsembeyi adyere ku malo wopatulika ndiye kuti mʼbwalo la tenti ya msonkhano. Chilichonse chimene chidzakhudza nsembeyo chidzakhala chopatulika, ndipo ngati magazi ake agwera pa chovala, muchape chovalacho pa malo opatulika. Mʼphika wadothi umene aphikira nyamayo auphwanye. Koma ngati yaphikidwa mu mʼphika wa mkuwa, awukweche ndi kuwutsukuluza ndi madzi. Munthu wamwamuna aliyense wa mʼbanja la wansembe angathe kuyidya popeza nsembeyi ndi yopatulika kwambiri. Koma nsembe yopepesera tchimo imene magazi ake amabwera nawo mu tenti ya msonkhano kudzachita mwambo wopepesera tchimo ku malo opatulika isadyedwe, mʼmalo mwake itenthedwe.’ ”
Nsembe Yopepesera Kupalamula
“ ‘Malamulo a nsembe yopepesera kupalamula imene ndi nsembe yopatulika kwambiri ndi awa: Nsembe yopepesera machimo iziphedwa pamalo pomwe amaphera nsembe yopsereza ndipo awaze magazi ake mbali zonse za guwa. Tsono apereke mafuta ake onse: mchira wamafuta ndi mafuta amene amakuta matumbo. Aperekenso impsyo ziwiri, mafuta ake pamodzi ndi mafuta onse amene ali chamʼchiwuno, ndiponso mafuta onse amene aphimba chiwindi. Wansembe azitenthe pa guwa kuti zikhale nsembe yotentha pa moto, yoperekedwa kwa Yehova. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopepesera tchimo lopalamula. Munthu wamwamuna aliyense wa mʼbanja la wansembe angathe kudyako nsembeyo koma adyere ku malo opatulika. Imeneyi ndi nsembe yopatulika kwambiri.
“ ‘Nsembe yopepesera tchimo lopalamula ndi yofanana ndi nsembe yoperekedwa chifukwa cha tchimo. Ndipo nsembe ziwiri zonsezi zili ndi lamulo limodzi lokha. Wansembe amene wachita mwambo wa nsembe yopepesera machimo a kupalamula atenge nyamayo ngati yake. Wansembe wopereka nsembe yopsereza ya munthu wina aliyense, atenge chikopa cha nsembe yopserezayo kuti chikhale chake. Chopereka chilichonse cha chakudya chophika mu uvuni kapena chokazinga mu mʼphika kapena mu chiwaya ndi cha wansembe amene wapereka nsembezo. Ndipo chopereka china chilichonse cha chakudya chosakaniza ndi mafuta kapena chowuma, chikhale cha ana onse a Aaroni ndipo anawo achigawane mofanana.
Nsembe Yachiyanjano
“ ‘Malamulo a nsembe ya chiyanjano imene munthu angathe kupereka kwa Yehova ndi awa:
“ ‘Ngati munthuyo apereka chifukwa cha kuthokoza, apereke nsembeyo pamodzi ndi makeke wopanda yisiti, osakaniza ndi mafuta; timitanda ta buledi wopanda yisiti, topyapyala, topaka mafuta, ndiponso makeke a ufa wosalala wophikidwa bwino, wosakaniza ndi mafuta. Pamodzi ndi nsembe yachiyanjano yothokozerayo abwerenso ndi makeke opangidwa ndi yisiti ngati chopereka chake. Munthuyo atenge mtanda umodzi pa mtanda wa buledi wa mtundu uliwonse kuti ukhale nsembe yopereka kwa Yehova. Tsono mtanda umenewo ndi wake wa wansembe amene awaze magazi a nsembe yachiyanjano. Nyama ya nsembe yachiyanjano yothokozera idyedwe pa tsiku lomwe nsembeyo yaperekedwa ndipo isatsaleko mpaka mmawa.
“ ‘Koma ngati nsembe yakeyo apereka chifukwa cha lumbiro kapena mwaufulu, nsembeyo adye tsiku lomwe yaperekedwalo. Koma yotsala angathe kuyidya mmawa mwake. Ngati nyama ina ya nsembe yatsalabe mpaka tsiku lachitatu, imeneyo itenthedwe pa moto. Ngati munthu adya nyama yachiyanjano pa tsiku lachitatu, nsembeyo sidzalandiridwa. Amene wayipereka nsembeyo Mulungu sadzamulandira ndipo nsembeyo idzakhala yonyansa pamaso pa Mulungu, yosamupindulira kanthu woperekayo.
“ ‘Nyama imene yakhudza chilichonse chodetsedwa, munthu asayidye, koma itenthedwe pa moto. Aliyense amene ali woyeretsedwa angathe kudya nyama inayo. Koma ngati munthu wina amene ndi wosayeretsedwa adya nyama ya nsembe yachiyanjano imene ndi ya Yehova, ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake. Ndipo ngati munthu wina akhudza chinthu chodetsedwa, kaya chonyansa cha munthu kapena cha nyama, kapenanso chonyansa china chilichonse, ndipo kenaka nʼkudya nyama ya nsembe yachiyanjano imene ndi ya Yehova, munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati anthu a mtundu wake.’ ”
Za Kuletsa Kudya Mafuta ndi Magazi
Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose kuti, “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Musadye mafuta a ngʼombe, nkhosa kapenanso mbuzi. Mafuta a nyama yofa yokha, kapena mafuta a nyama yophedwa ndi zirombo akhoza kuwagwiritsa ntchito iliyonse, koma inu musadye mafuta amenewo. Pakuti munthu wakudya mafuta a nyama yoperekedwa kwa Yehova ngati nsembe yotentha pa moto, ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake. Ndipo kulikonse kumene mukakhale musakadye magazi a mbalame iliyonse kapena magazi a nyama iliyonse. Ngati munthu aliyense adya magazi achotsedwe pakati pa anthu a mtundu wake.’ ”
Gawo la Ansembe
Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose kuti, “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, Aliyense amene apereka nsembe yachiyanjano kwa Yehova, abwere ndi gawo la nsembeyo kwa Yehova. Atenge ndi manja ake zigawo za chopereka zoyenera kuzitentha pa moto ngati chopereka kwa Yehova. Abweretse mafuta, pamodzi ndi chidale chomwe, ndipo chidalecho achiweyule kuti chikhale chopereka choweyula kwa Yehova. Wansembe atenthe mafutawo pa guwa koma chidalecho chikhale cha Aaroni ndi ana ake. Mumupatse wansembe ntchafu ya kumanja ya nsembe yanu yachiyanjano kuti ikhale chopereka chanu kwa iye. Mwana wa Aaroni amene amapereka magazi ndi mafuta a nsembe yachiyanjano, adzitenga ntchafu ya kumanja kukhala gawo lake. Choncho pa zopereka zachiyanjano za Aisraeli, Ine ndatengapo chidale chomwe amaweyula ndi ntchafu zimene amapereka nsembe ndipo ndazipereka kwa wansembe Aaroni ndi ana ake. Izi ndizo gawo lawo nthawi zonse pa zopereka za Aisraeli.”
Zimenezi ndi chigawo cha Aaroni ndi ana ake chotapidwa pa zopereka kwa Yehova zoti zitenthedwe pa moto zimene zinaperekedwa pa tsiku limene anapatulidwa kuti akhale ansembe otumikira Yehova. Yehova ndiye analamulira kuti pa zopereka za Aisraeli azitapapo zimenezi ndi kuwapatsa ansembe ngati gawo lawo. Yehovayo analamula zimenezi pa tsiku limene ansembewo anapatulidwa ndipo anachikhazikitsa ngati lamulo la nthawi zonse.
Awa ndi malamulo a nsembe izi: nsembe yopsereza, nsembe yachakudya, nsembe yopepesera machimo, nsembe yopepesera kupalamula, nsembe ya mwambo wodzoza ndi nsembe yachiyanjano. Malamulo amenewa Yehova anapereka kwa Mose pa Phiri la Sinai pa tsiku limene Yehova analamulira Aisraeli kuti abwere ndi zopereka za kwa Yehova, ku chipululu cha Sinai kuja.
Mwambo Wodzoza Aaroni ndi Ana Ake
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tenga Aaroni ndi ana ake, zovala zawo, mafuta wodzozera, ngʼombe yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo, nkhosa ziwiri zazimuna ndi dengu la buledi wopanda yisiti, ndipo usonkhanitse gulu la anthu pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.” Mose anachita zomwe Yehova anamulamula ndipo gulu la anthu linasonkhana pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
Mose anawuza gulu la anthuwo kuti, “Izi ndi zimene Yehova walamulira kuti zichitike.” Pamenepo Mose anabwera ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake nawasambitsa ndi madzi. Anamuveka Aaroni mwinjiro, ndi kumumanga lamba mʼchiwuno. Anamuvekanso mkanjo wa efodi ndi efodiyo. Anamangira lamba efodiyo amene analukidwa mwaluso uja, motero efodiyo analimba mʼchiwunomo. Anamuvekanso chovala chapachifuwa ndipo mʼchovalacho anayikamo Urimu ndi Tumimu. Kenaka anamuveka Aaroniyo nduwira kumutu ndipo patsogolo pa nduwirayo anayikapo duwa lagolide, chizindikiro chopatulika monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
Pamenepo Mose anatenga mafuta wodzozera nadzoza tenti ya msonkhano pamodzi ndi zonse zimene zinali mʼmenemo, ndipo potero anazipatula. Anawaza mafuta ena pa guwa kasanu ndi kawiri, nalidzoza guwalo pamodzi ndi ziwiya zake zonse. Anadzozanso beseni ndi tsinde lake, nazipatula. Anathira mafuta wodzozera ena pamutu pa Aaroni ndipo anamudzoza ndi kumupatula. Kenaka anabwera ndi ana a Aaroni. Anawaveka minjiro, ndi kuwamanga malamba mʼchiwuno ndi kuwaveka nduwira kumutu monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
Kenaka Mose anabwera ndi ngʼombe yayimuna ya nsembe yopepesera machimo, ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake anasanjika manja awo pamutu pa ngʼombeyo. Mose anapha ngʼombeyo, ndi kutenga magazi ena angʼombeyo ndi kupaka ndi chala chake pa nyanga zaguwa lansembe, naliyeretsa. Magazi otsalawo anawakhuthulira pa tsinde laguwalo. Motero anachita mwambo wopepesera machimo. Mose anatenganso mafuta onse okuta matumbo, mafuta ophimba chiwindi, ndiponso impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta ake, nazitentha pa guwapo. Koma nyama yangʼombeyo, chikopa chake ndi matumbo ake anaziwotcha kunja kwa msasa monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
Kenaka anabwera ndi nkhosa yayimuna ya nsembe yopsereza, ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna anasanjika manja awo pamutu pake. Ndipo Mose anapha nkhosayo ndi kuwaza magazi ake mbali zonse zaguwalo. Anayidula nkhosayo nthulinthuli ndipo anatentha mutu wake, nthulizo ndi mafuta. Anatsuka matumbo ake ndi miyendo yake, ndi kutentha nkhosa yonseyo pa guwa lansembe kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza, fungo lokoma, nsembe yachakudya yoperekedwa kwa Yehova monga Yehovayo analamulira Mose.
Kenaka Mose anapereka nkhosa yayimuna ina pamwambo wodzoza ansembe, ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna anasanjika manja awo pamutu pake. Mose anayipha nkhosayo ndipo anatenga magazi ake ena ndi kupaka ndewere za khutu la kudzanja lamanja la Aaroni, pa chala chake chachikulu cha kudzanja lamanja, ndi pa chala chake chachikulu cha phazi lakumanja. Pambuyo pake Mose anabwera ndi ana aamuna a Aaroni ndi kupaka magazi pa ndewere za makutu awo akumanja, pa zala zawo zazikulu za dzanja lamanja, ndiponso pa zala zawo zazikulu za kuphazi lakumanja. Kenaka iye anawaza magazi otsalawo mbali zonse za guwalo. Anatenganso mafuta ake, mafuta a ku mchira wake, mafuta okuta matumbo, mafuta okuta chiwindi, impsyo zonse ziwiri ndi mafuta ake ndiponso ntchafu yakumanja. Ndipo mʼdengu la buledi wopanda yisiti limene linali pamaso pa Yehova, anatengamo buledi mmodzi, buledi mmodzi wokhala ndi mafuta a olivi, ndi buledi wopyapyala mmodzi. Zonsezi anaziyika pa mafuta aja ndi pa ntchafu ya ku dzanja lamanja ija. Mose anapereka zonsezi mʼmanja mwa Aaroni ndi ana ake amene anazipereka kwa Yehova kuti zikhale nsembe yoweyula. Kenaka Mose anazitenga mʼmanja mwawo ndipo anazipsereza pa guwa lansembe pamwamba penipeni pamodzi ndi nsembe yopsereza ija kuti ikhale nsembe yopereka pamwambo wodzoza ansembe, kuti ipereke fungo lokoma, chopereka chachakudya kwa Yehova. Mose anatenga chidale cha nkhosa yayimuna, chomwe ndi gawo lake pamwambo wodzoza ansembe, ndipo anachiweyula pamaso pa Yehova kuti chikhale nsembe yoweyula monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
Kenaka Mose anatenga mafuta wodzozera ansembe ndi magazi amene anali pa guwa nawaza pa Aaroni ndi zovala zake ndiponso ana ake aja ndi zovala zawo. Motero Mose anapatula Aaroni ndi zovala zake, ndiponso ana ake ndi zovala zawo.
Mose anawuza Aaroni ndi ana ake kuti, “Phikani nyamayo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano, ndipo mudyere pomwepo pamodzi ndi buledi amene ali mʼdengu la zopereka za pamwambo wodzoza ansembe monga Yehova analamulira kuti, ‘Aaroni ndi ana ake azidya zimenezi.’ Ndipo nyama ndi buledi zotsalazo, muziwotche. Musatuluke kunja kwa tenti ya msonkhano kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri mpaka masiku amwambo wokudzozani unsembe atatha, pakuti mwambowu ndi wa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Zimene zachitika lerozi analamula ndi Yehova kuti zichitike ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo anu. Muzikhala pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano usana ndi usiku kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Ndipo muzichita zimene Yehova wakulamulani kuti musafe, pakuti zimenezi ndi zomwe Yehova wandilamulira.” Choncho Aaroni ndi ana ake anachita zonse zimene Yehova analamula kudzera mwa Mose.
Ansembe Ayamba Kutumikira
Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu Mose anayitana Aaroni, ana ake ndi akuluakulu a Aisraeli. Ndipo anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Tenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna kuti akhale nsembe yako yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza. Zonsezi zikhale zopanda chilema ndipo uzipereke pamaso pa Yehova. Kenaka uwawuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Tengani mbuzi yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo. Mutengenso mwana wangʼombe ndi mwana wankhosa. Zonsezi zikhale za chaka chimodzi ndi zopanda chilema kuti zikhale nsembe yopsereza. Mutengenso ngʼombe yayimuna ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti zikhale nsembe yachiyanjano zoti ziperekedwe pamaso pa Yehova. Pamodzi ndi izi mubwerenso ndi nsembe yachakudya yosakaniza ndi mafuta pakuti lero Yehova akuonekerani.’ ”
Anthu anatenga zonse zimene Mose analamula nabwera nazo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Gululo linasendera pafupi ndi kuyima pamaso pa Yehova. Tsono Mose anati, “Izi ndi zimene Yehova walamula kuti muchite kuti ulemerero wa Yehova ukuonekereni.”
Pambuyo pake Mose anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Sendera pafupi ndi guwa ndipo upereka nsembe yako yopepesera machimo ndi nsembe yako yopsereza ndikuchita mwambo wopepesera machimo ako ndi machimo a anthu. Anthuwa apereke nsembe zawo zopepesera machimo monga momwe Yehova walamulira.”
Choncho Aaroni anasendera pafupi ndi guwa, napha mwana wangʼombe uja kukhala nsembe yake yopepesera machimo. Ana a Aaroni anabwera ndi magazi kwa Aaroni ndipo iye anaviyika chala chake mʼmagaziwo, nawapaka pa nyanga za guwa. Magazi wotsalawo anawathira pa tsinde la guwalo. Kenaka anatentha paguwapo, mafuta, impsyo pamodzi ndi mafuta amene amakuta chiwindi ngati nsembe yopepesera machimoyo, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose. Koma nyama ndi chikopa anazitenthera kunja kwa msasa.
Kenaka anapha nsembe yopsereza. Ana a Aaroni atabwera ndi magazi kwa iye, Aaroniyo anawawaza mbali zonse za guwa. Ana akewo anamupatsa nyama yoduladula ya nsembe yopsereza ija pamodzi ndi mutu ndipo anazitentha pa guwa. Aaroni anatsuka matumbo ndi miyendo nazitentha pa guwa pamodzi ndi nsembe yopsereza ija.
Kenaka Aaroni anapereka zopereka za anthuwo. Anatenga mbuzi yopepesera machimo a anthuwo, yopereka chifukwa cha tchimo, nayipha ndi kuyipereka kuti ikhale yopepesera machimo monga anachitira ndi nsembe yoyamba ija.
Anabwera ndi nsembe yopsereza, nayipereka potsata mwambo wake. Anabweranso ndi chopereka cha chakudya. Anatapa ufa dzanja limodzi ndi kutentha pa guwa, kuwonjezera pa nsembe yopsereza ya mmawa ija.
Tsono Aaroni anapha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa yayimuna monga nsembe yachiyanjano ya anthu. Ana ake anamupatsira magazi ndipo anawawaza mbali zonse za guwa. Anamupatsiranso mafuta a ngʼombeyo ndi nkhosa yayimunayo: mchira wamafuta, mafuta wokuta matumbo, impsyo ndi mafuta wokuta chiwindi. Ana a Aaroni anayika mafutawo pa zidale. Pambuyo pake Aaroni anatentha mafutawo pa guwa lansembe. Koma zidale ndi ntchafu ya kumanja Aaroni anaziweyula ngati chopereka choweyula pamaso pa Yehova.
Kenaka Aaroni anakweza manja ake pa anthuwo nawadalitsa. Ndipo atatha kupereka nsembe yopepesera machimo, nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe yachiyanjano, anatsika pa guwapo.
Ndipo Mose pamodzi ndi Aaroni analowa mu tenti ya msonkhano. Atatulukamo anadalitsa anthuwo ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unaonekera kwa anthu onse. Pomwepo moto unatuluka pamaso pa Yehova niwutentha nsembe zopsereza ndi mafuta zimene zinali pa guwa. Anthu onse ataona zimenezi anafuwula mwachimwemwe ndipo anaweramitsa nkhope zawo pansi.
Imfa ya Nadabu ndi Abihu
Ana a Aaroni, Nadabu ndi Abihu, aliyense anatenga chofukizira lubani chake nayikamo makala a moto ndi kuthiramo lubani. Iwo anapereka pamaso pa Yehova moto wachilendo, moto umene Yehova sanawalamule. Choncho moto unatuluka pamaso pa Yehova ndi kuwapsereza, ndipo anafa pamaso pa Yehova. Pamenepo Mose anawuza Aaroni kuti, “Pajatu Yehova ananena kuti,
“ ‘Kwa iwo amene amandiyandikira
ndidzaonetsa ulemerero wanga;
pamaso pa anthu onse
ndidzalemekezedwa.’ ”
Aaroni anakhala chete wosayankhula.
Mose anayitana Misaeli ndi Elizafani, ana a Uzieli, abambo angʼono a Aaroni, ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Bwerani kuno mudzachotse abale anuwa pa malo wopatulika ndi kuwatulutsira kunja kwa msasa.” Choncho anabwera atavala minjiro yawo ndipo anawatenga ndi kuwatulutsa kunja kwa msasawo monga momwe Mose analamulira.
Ndipo Mose anawuza Aaroni ndi ana ake Eliezara ndi Itamara kuti, “Musalileke tsitsi lanu nyankhalala ndipo musangʼambe zovala zanu kuti mungafe, ndi mkwiyo wa Yehova ungagwere anthu onsewa. Koma abale anu okha, kutanthauza fuko lonse la Israeli ndiwo ayenera kulira omwalira aja amene Yehova wawapsereza ndi moto. Musatuluke kunja kwa tenti ya msonkhano, mungafe, chifukwa munadzozedwa ndi mafuta a Yehova kukhala ansembe.” Choncho iwo anachita monga Mose ananenera.
Pambuyo pake Yehova anayankhula ndi Aaroni nati, “Iwe ndi ana ako musamamwe vinyo kapena chakumwa chilichonse choledzeretsa pamene mukulowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kuti mungafe. Ili ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse. Muzisiyanitsa pakati pa zinthu zopatulika ndi zinthu wamba, pakati pa zinthu zodetsedwa ndi zinthu zoyeretsedwa, ndipo muyenera kuphunzitsa Aisraeli onse malamulo amene Yehova wakupatsani kudzera mwa Mose.”
Mose anawuza Aaroni ndi ana ake otsalawo, Eliezara ndi Itamara kuti, “Tengani zopereka zachakudya zopanda yisiti zimene zatsala pa nsembe zopsereza za kwa Yehova ndipo muzidye pafupi ndi guwa pakuti ndi zopatulika kwambiri. Muzidye pa malo wopatulika chifukwa zimenezi ndi gawo lako ndi la ana ako pa zopereka zopsereza kwa Yehova. Izitu ndi zimene Yehova anandilamulira. Koma iwe pamodzi ndi ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi muzidya chidale chimene chinaweyulidwa ndi ntchafu zimene zinaperekedwa nsembe. Muzidye pamalo woyeretsedwa. Zimenezi zaperekedwa kwa iwe ndi ana ako monga gawo lanu pa zopereka zachiyanjano zimene apereka Aisraeli. Ntchafu imene inaperekedwayo ndi chidale chomwe chinaweyulidwacho abwere nazo pamodzi ndi nsembe ya mafuta ya Yehova yotentha pa moto, ndipo uziweyule kuti zikhale zopereka zoweyula pamaso pa Yehova. Zimenezi zizikhala zako ndi ana ako nthawi zonse monga walamulira Yehova.”
Pambuyo pake Mose anafunafuna mbuzi ya nsembe yopepesera machimo koma anapeza kuti anayitentha kale. Apa Mose anakalipira Eliezara ndi Itamara, ana a Aaroni otsala aja nati, “Chifukwa chiyani simunadyere pamalo wopatulika nsembe yopepesera machimo ija? Kodi imene ija siyopatulika? Kodi Yehova sanapereke nyamayo kwa inu kuti muchotse machimo a mpingo wonse powachitira mwambo wa nsembe yopepesera machimo pamaso pa Yehova? Pakuti magazi ake sanalowe nawo ku Malo Wopatulika, mukanadya nyama ya mbuziyo pa malo wopatulikawo monga Yehova analamulira.”
Aaroni anamuyankha Mose kuti, “Lero anthu apereka nsembe yawo yopepesera machimo ndiponso nsembe yawo yopsereza pamaso pa Yehova komabe zinthu zoterezi zandichitikira. Kodi Yehova akanakondwa ndikanadya nsembe yopepesera machimo lero?” Pamene Mose anamva zimenezi, anakhutira.
Chakudya Choyeretsedwa ndi Chodetsedwa
Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose ndi Aaroni kuti, “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Nyama zomwe mukhoza kudya mwa nyama zonse za dziko lapansi ndi izi: Nyama iliyonse imene ili ndi chipondero chogawikana pakati ndi yobzikula mukhoza kudya.
“ ‘Koma pali nyama zina zimene zimabzikula kokha kapena ndi zogawikana zipondero zimene simukuyenera kudya. Nyama zimenezi ndi ngamira, ngakhale imabzikula ilibe zipondero zogawikana. Choncho ndi yodetsedwa, musadye. Ina ndi mbira, ngakhale imabzikula, zipondero zake nʼzosagawikana. Choncho ndi yodetsedwa, musadye. Inanso ndi kalulu, ngakhale amabzikula, zipondero zake nʼzosagawikana. Choncho ndi wodetsedwa, musadye. Nkhumba simabzikula ngakhale ili ndi zipondero zogawikana. Choncho ndi yodetsedwa, musadye. Musamadye nyama yake kapena kukhudza imene yafa chifukwa ndi yodetsedwa.
“ ‘Mwa zamoyo zonse zimene zimakhala mʼmadzi a mʼnyanja ndi a mʼmitsinje mukhoza kudya chilichonse chimene chili ndi minga ya pa msana ndi mamba. Koma zamoyo zonse za mʼnyanja kapena za mʼmitsinje zimene zilibe minga ya pa msana ndi mamba, kaya ndi tizirombo tonse ta mʼmadzi ndi zamoyo zonse zopezeka mʼmenemo ndi zodetsedwa kwa inu.

Kudziyeretsa kwa Mkazi Atabala Mwana
Yehova anayankhula ndi Mose kuti, “Awuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Mkazi akakhala woyembekezera, nabala mwana wa mwamuna, mkaziyo adzakhala wodetsedwa kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri, ngati pa masiku ake akusamba. Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu, mwanayo achite mdulidwe. Mkaziyo adikire masiku ena 33 kuti ayeretsedwe ku matenda ake. Asakhudze kanthu kalikonse koyera kapena kulowa mʼmalo wopatulika mpaka masiku a kuyeretsedwa kwake atatha. Ngati abala mwana wamkazi, adzakhala wodetsedwa kwa masabata awiri, monga zikhalira pa nthawi yake yosamba. Ndipo mkaziyo adikire masiku ena 66, kuti ayeretsedwe ku matenda akewo.
“ ‘Masiku ake wodziyeretsa akatha, kaya ndi a mwana wamwamuna kapena a mwana wamkazi, abwere kwa wansembe ndi mwana wankhosa wa chaka chimodzi pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza.

“ ‘Amenewa ndiwo malamulo a mkazi amene wabala mwana wamwamuna kapena wamkazi. Ngati mkaziyo sangathe kupeza mwana wankhosa, abwere ndi njiwa ziwiri kapena mawunda ankhunda awiri: imodzi ikhale ya nsembe yopsereza ndipo inayo ikhale ya nsembe yopepesera machimo.

Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Uza mchimwene wako Aaroni kuti asamalowe ku Malo Wopatulika, kuseri kwa katani, pamaso pa chivundikiro cha Bokosi la Chipangano nthawi iliyonse imene akufuna kuopa kuti angadzafe, pakuti Ine ndimaoneka mu mtambo umene uli pamwamba pa chivundikiro cha Bokosi la Chipangano.
“Aaroni azilowa Malo Wopatulika Kwambiri motere: azitenga mwana wangʼombe wamwamuna kuti akhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza. Azivala mwinjiro wopatulika wa nsalu yosalala, azivalanso kabudula wa mʼkati wa nsalu yosalala, azimanga lamba wa nsalu yosalala, ndipo avalenso nduwira ya nsalu yosalala kumutu. Zimenezi ndi nsalu zopatulika ndipo atasamba thupi lonse azivala zimenezi. Kuchokera pa gulu la Aisraeli, Aaroni azitenga mbuzi zazimuna ziwiri kuti zikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ndi nkhosa yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopsereza.
“Aaroni apereke ngʼombe yayimuna kuti ikhale yopepesera machimo a iye mwini kuti achite mwambo wopepesera machimo ake pamodzi ndi a banja lake. Kenaka atenge mbuzi ziwiri zija ndipo aziyimike pamaso pa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano. Aaroni ndiye achite maere pa mbuzi ziwirizo kuti imodzi ikhale ya Yehova, ndipo inayo ikhale ya Azazele. Aaroni abwere ndi mbuzi imene maere aonetsa kuti ndi ya Yehova, ndipo apereke kuti ikhale nsembe yopereka chifukwa cha tchimo. Koma mbuzi imene maere aonetsa kuti ndi yosenza machimo, apereke ya moyo pamaso pa Yehova, kuti achite mwambo wopepesera machimo pa mbuziyo poyitumiza ku chipululu kuti ikhale ya Azazele.
“Aaroni apereke ngʼombe yayimuna kuti ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo ake. Ndiye achite mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake pamodzi ndi banja lake. Pambuyo pake aphe ngʼombe yopepesera machimo ake aja. Kenaka iye atenge chofukizira chodzaza ndi makala a moto ochokera pa guwa lansembe pamaso pa Yehova. Atengenso lubani wonunkhira ndi woperapera wokwanira manja awiri, ndipo alowe naye kuseri kwa katani. Athire lubani pa moto pamaso pa Yehova kuti utsi wa lubaniyo uphimbe chivundikiro chimene chili pamwamba pa Bokosi la Chipangano, kuti Aaroniyo asafe. Ndipo atenge magazi ena a ngʼombeyo, awawaze ndi chala chake pa chivundikiro cha kummawa; kenaka awaze magaziwo ndi chala chake kasanu ndi kawiri patsogolo pa chivundikirocho.
“Kenaka Aaroni aphe mbuzi ya nsembe yopepesera machimo a anthu, ndipo magazi ake alowe nawo kuseri kwa katani ndi kuchita chimodzimodzi monga anachitira ndi magazi a ngʼombe aja: Aaroni awaze magaziwo pa chivundikiro chija ndi patsogolo pa chivundikirocho. Pamenepo ndiye kuti wansembeyo wachita mwambo wopepesera ku Malo Wopatulika chifukwa cha kudetsedwa ndi kuwukira kwa Aisraeli pa machimo ena aliwonse amene achita. Achite chimodzimodzi ndi tenti ya msonkhano imenenso ili yodetsedwa chifukwa cha machimo awo. Mu tenti ya msonkhano musakhale munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe nthawi imene Aaroni akupita kukachita mwambo wopepesera ku Malo Wopatulika mpaka atatulukako. Musakhale munthu mu tenti ya msonkhano mpaka atachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake, banja lake ndi gulu lonse la Aisraeli.
“Kenaka, Aaroniyo akatuluka apite ku guwa limene lili pamaso pa Yehova ndi kulichitira mwambo wolipepesera. Atengeko magazi a ngʼombe yayimuna ndiponso magazi a mbuzi ndi kuwapaka pa nyanga zonse za guwa lansembe. Magazi ena awawaze pa guwalo ndi chala chake kasanu ndi kawiri kuliyeretsa ndi kulipatula kuchotsa zodetsa za Aisraeli.
“Aaroni akatsiriza mwambo wopepesera Malo Wopatulika, tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa, azibwera ndi mbuzi yamoyo kudzayipereka nsembe. Aaroni asanjike manja ake pa mutu wa mbuziyo ndipo awulule pa mbuziyo zoyipa zonse ndi zowukira zonse za Aisraeli, kutanthauza machimo awo onse. Machimowo awayike pa mutu wa mbuziyo. Kenaka munthu amene anasankhidwa athamangitsire mbuziyo ku chipululu. Mbuziyo isenze machimo awo onse ndi kupita nawo kutali ndipo munthuyo aleke mbuziyo kuti ipite ku chipululuko.
“Pambuyo pake Aaroni alowe mu tenti ya msonkhano ndi kuvula zovala zosalala zija zimene anavala polowa ku Malo Wopatulika ndi kuzisiya komweko. Asambe thupi lonse ku Malo Wopatulika ndi kuvala zovala zake za nthawi zonse. Kenaka atuluke ndi kukapereka nsembe yopsereza ya iye mwini, ndiponso nsembe yopsereza yoperekera anthu. Akatero ndiye kuti wachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a iye mwini wake ndi a anthu. Mafuta a nyama yopepesera machimo awatenthe pa guwa lansembe.
“Tsono munthu amene anaperekeza mbuzi yosenza machimo ija achape zovala zake ndi kusamba. Pambuyo pake alowe ku msasa. Ngʼombe ndi mbuzi zoperekera nsembe yopepesera machimo zimene magazi ake anabwera nawo kuti achitire mwambo wopepesera Malo Wopatulika, azitulutsire kunja kwa msasa. Koma zikopa zake, nyama yake ndi matumbo ake azitenthe. Munthu amene azitenthe achape zovala zake ndi kusamba. Pambuyo pake alowe mu msasa.
“Ili likhale lamulo lanu lamuyaya: Mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri, pa tsiku la khumi la mwezi, mugonje pamaso pa Yehova. Musamagwire ntchito iliyonse, kaya ndinu mbadwa kapena mlendo amene akukhala pakati panu, chifukwa tsiku limeneli kudzachitika mwambo wopepesera machimo anu, kukuyeretsani kuti mukhale oyeretsedwa ku machimo anu pamaso pa Yehova. Limeneli ndi tsiku lanu la Sabata lopumula, ndipo muzigonja pamaso pa Yehova. Limeneli ndi lamulo lanu la muyaya. Wansembe amene wadzozedwa ndi kupatulidwa kuti akhale wansembe kulowa mʼmalo mwa abambo ake ndiye azichita mwambo wopepesera machimo atavala zovala zake zosalala ndi zopatulika. Adzachite mwambo wopepesera machimo Malo Wopatulika, tenti ya msonkhano ndi guwa lansembe. Adzachitenso mwambo wopepesera anzake ndi gulu lonse la anthu.
“Ili likhale lamulo lanu lamuyaya. Mwambo wopepesera machimo uzichitika kamodzi pa chaka chifukwa cha machimo a anthu onse.”
Ndipo Mose anachita monga momwe Yehova analamulira.

Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Uza Aaroni ndi ana ake, pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse kuti, ‘Chimene Yehova walamula ndi ichi: Mwisraeli aliyense amene apha ngʼombe, mwana wankhosa kapena mbuzi mu msasa kapena kunja kwa msasa, mʼmalo mobwera nayo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano pamaso pa Yehova ndi kuyipereka kuti ikhale nsembe ya Yehova, ameneyo wapalamula mlandu wa magazi, wakhetsa magazi ndipo ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu anzake. Izi zili choncho kuti Aisraeli azibwera ndi nyama zawo za nsembe zimene akanaphera ku malo kwina kulikonse. Aisraeli azibwera nazo nyamazo kwa Yehova, kwa wansembe wokhala pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano ndipo aziphere pomwepo kuti zikhale nsembe za chiyanjano. Wansembe awaze magazi ake pa guwa la Yehova limene lili pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano ndipo atenthe mafuta ake kuti atulutse fungo lokomera Yehova. Motero asadzapherenso nsembe fano la mbuzi limene amachita nalo zadama. Limeneli ndi lamulo la muyaya kwa iwo ndi mibado ya mʼtsogolo.’ ”
“Uwawuze kuti, ‘Mwisraeli aliyense kapena mlendo amene amakhala pakati pawo akapereka nsembe yopsereza kapena nsembe ina iliyonse popanda kubwera nayo pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano kudzayipereka pamaso pa Yehova, munthu ameneyo achotsedwe pakati pa anthu anzake.’ ”
“Mwisraeli aliyense kapena mlendo aliyense wokhala pakati panu amene adya magazi, ndidzamufulatira ndipo ndidzamuchotsa pakati pa anthu anzake. Pakuti moyo wa cholengedwa chilichonse uli mʼmagazi, ndipo ndawupereka kwa inu kuti muzichitira mwambo wopepesera machimo a moyo wanu pa guwa. Pajatu magazi ndiwo amachotsa machimo chifukwa moyo uli mʼmenemo. Choncho ndikuwawuza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Pasapezeke aliyense wa inu wodya magazi, ngakhale mlendo wokhala pakati panu.’ ”
“Mwisraeli aliyense kapena mlendo aliyense wokhala pakati panu amene amasaka ndi kupha nyama zakuthengo kapena mbalame zimene amadya, ataye magazi ake pansi ndi kuwakwirira ndi dothi, chifukwa moyo wa cholengedwa chilichonse uli mʼmagazi ake. Nʼchifukwa chake ndinawawuza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Musamadye magazi a cholengedwa chilichonse, chifukwa moyo wa cholengedwa chilichonse uli mʼmagazi. Aliyense wodya magaziwo ayenera kuchotsedwa pakati pa anthu anzake.
“ ‘Munthu aliyense, kaya ndi mbadwa kapena mlendo, amene amadya chilichonse chofa chokha, kapena chojiwa ndi zirombo, achape zovala zake ndi kusamba, komabe adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo. Kenaka adzakhala woyeretsedwa. Koma ngati sachapa zovala zake ndi kusamba, adzasenzabe machimo ake.’ ”

Choncho Mose analengeza kwa Aisraeli masiku osankhika a zikondwerero za Yehova.
Mafuta ndi Buledi wa Pamaso pa Yehova
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Lamula Aisraeli kuti akupatse mafuta anyale, a olivi wabwino kwambiri kuti nyalezo ziziyaka nthawi zonse. Kunja kwa nsalu yotchinga Bokosi la Chipangano, mʼchihema cha msonkhano, Aaroni azionetsetsa kuti nyale ikukhala chiyakire pamaso pa Yehova kuyambira madzulo mpaka mmawa, nthawi zonse.

Tsiku lina munthu wina wamwamuna amene amayi ake anali Mwisraeli koma abambo ake anali Mwigupto anapita kwa Aisraeli ndipo anakangana ndi Mwisraeli wina ku msasa.

Anamuyika mʼndende mpaka atadziwa bwino chofuna cha Yehova.
Ndipo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Pita naye kunja kwa msasa munthu wotembererayo. Onse amene anamumva akutemberera asanjike manja awo pamutu pake ndipo gulu lonse la anthu limugende miyala. Choncho uza Aisraeli kuti, ‘Aliyense wotemberera Mulungu wake alangidwe. Aliyense wonyoza dzina la Yehova, mlendo ngakhale mbadwa, aphedwe. Gulu lonse la anthu limuponye miyala.
“ ‘Ngati munthu wina aliyense achotsa moyo wa munthu mnzake, munthuyo ayenera kuphedwa. Aliyense wopha chiweto cha mnzake ayenera kulipira china. Moyo kulipa moyo.

Pamenepo Mose anawuza Aisraeli zimenezi, ndipo iwo anatulutsira munthu wotembererayo kunja kwa msasa ndi kumugenda miyala. Aisraeli anachita zimene Yehova analamula Mose.

Amenewa ndi malamulo ndi malangizo amene Yehova anawayika pakati pa Iye mwini ndi Aisraeli pa Phiri la Sinai kudzera mwa Mose.
Kuwombola Zomwe ndi za Yehova
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Yankhula ndi Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ngati munthu anachita lumbiro lapadera loti adzapereka munthu mnzake kwa Yehova ndipo akufuna kuti amuwombole, mtengo wake ukhale masekeli a siliva makumi asanu, molingana ndi kawerengedwe ka ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, ngati munthuyo ndi wamwamuna wa zaka zapakati pa 20 ndi 60. Ndipo ngati ndi wamkazi, mtengo wake ukhale masekeli makumi atatu. Mtengo wa munthu wamwamuna wa zaka zapakati pa zisanu ndi makumi awiri ukhale masekeli makumi awiri ndipo munthu wamkazi ukhale masekeli khumi. Ngati ndi munthu wamwamuna wa pakati pa mwezi umodzi ndi zaka zisanu, mtengo wa munthu wamwamuna ukhale masekeli asanu a siliva ndipo ngati ndi wamkazi, ukhale masekeli atatu a siliva. Ngati ndi munthu wa zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi kapena kuposerapo, mtengo wa wamwamuna ukhale masekeli khumi ndi asanu, ndipo wamkazi ukhale masekeli khumi. Ngati munthu amene anachita lumbiro ndi wosauka kwambiri kuti sangathe kulipira ndalama zimenezo, abwere ndi munthu woperekedwa uja kwa wansembe, ndipo wansembeyo ayike mtengo woti munthu wolumbirayo angathe kulipira.
“ ‘Ngati chimene anachitira lumbiro kuti apereke ndi nyama imene amapereka kukhala nsembe kwa Yehova, zonse zimene amapereka kwa Yehova nʼzopatulika. Munthu asasinthanitse ndi ina kapena kupereka ina yabwino mʼmalo mwa yoyipa, kapena yoyipa mʼmalo mwa yabwino. Ngati asinthitsa nyama ina mʼmalo mwa ina, nyamayo pamodzi ndi inzake wasinthitsayo zikhala zopatulika. Ngati chimene anachitira lumbiro ndi nyama yodetsedwa, nyama imene siloledwa kuyipereka kukhala nsembe kwa Yehova, nyamayo abwere nayo kwa wansembe, ndipo wansembeyo atchule mtengo wake poona ngati ndi yabwino kapena ndi yoyipa. Mtengo umene wansembe atchule ndiwo udzakhale mtengo wake. Ngati mwini wakeyo akufuna kuwombola nyamayo, awonjezere pa mtengo wake wa nyamayo chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu zamtengowo.
“ ‘Ngati munthu apereka nyumba yake kuti ikhale yopatulika kwa Yehova, wansembe atchule mtengo wake poona ngati ndi yabwino kapena ndi yoyipa.

Ndipo nyumbayo idzakhalanso yake.
“ ‘Ngati munthu apereka kwa Yehova mbali ina ya malo a makolo ake, mtengo umene awuyike ukhale wolingana ndi mtengo wa mbewu zimene zimadzabzalidwamo. Zikhale mbewu za barele za makilogalamu makumi awiri ndipo mtengo wake ukhale masekeli makumi asanu. Ngati munthu apereka munda wake kuyambira chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, mtengo wake ukhale umene unakhazikitsidwa. Koma ngati apereka mundawo chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu chitapita, wansembe adzatchula mtengo molingana ndi zaka zomwe zatsala kuti chifike chaka china chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, ndipo mtengo wake udzakhala wotsikirapo. Ngati munthu amene wapereka munda afuna kuwuwombola, ayenera kuwonjezera pa mtengo wake wa mundawo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu a mtengowo. Ndipo mundawo udzakhalanso wake. Koma ngati sawuwombola mundawo, kapena ngati waugulitsa kwa munthu wina, mundawo sudzawomboledwanso. Mwini mundawo akawusiya mʼchaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu ndiye kuti mundawo udzakhala wopatulika monga woperekedwa kwa Yehova: udzakhala munda wa ansembe.
“ ‘Ngati munthu apereka kwa Yehova munda umene anagula, umene si malo a makolo ake, wansembe atchule mtengo wake kufikira pa chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, ndipo munthuyo apereke ndalama zokwanira mtengo wake pa tsikulo monga ndalama zopatulika kwa Yehova. Pa chaka chokondwerera zaka makumi asanu, mundawo udzabwezedwa kwa munthu amene anawugulitsayo, amene malowo anali ake. Potchula mtengo uliwonse wansembe awerengere molingana ndi mtengo wa sekeli wa ku Nyumba ya Mulungu: magera makumi awiri pa sekeli imodzi.
“ ‘Koma pasapezeke munthu wopereka mwana woyamba kubadwa wa nyama, popeza mwana woyamba kubadwa ali kale wa Yehova, kaya ndi ngʼombe kapena nkhosa, zimenezi ndi za Yehova. Ngati ili nyama yodetsedwa, ayiwombole pa mtengo umene wansembe wawuyika, ndi kuwonjezeranso pa mtengo wake wa nyamayo, limodzi mwa magawo asanu amtengowo. Ngati sayiwombola, igulitsidwe pa mtengo umene wansembe awuyike.
“ ‘Koma chinthu chilichonse choperekedwa kwa Yehova, kaya ndi munthu, nyama, kaya ndi malo a makolo, chimenechi chisagulitsidwe kapena kuwomboledwa. Choperekedwa kwa Yehova motere nʼchopatulika kwambiri.
“ ‘Munthu amene waperekedwa kotheratu sangawomboledwe. Munthuyo ayenera kuphedwa.
“ ‘Chakhumi chilichonse chochokera mʼdziko, kaya ndi tirigu wochokera mʼnthaka kapena chipatso cha mʼmitengo ndi za Yehova. Chimenecho ndi chopatulika kwa Yehova. Ngati munthu afuna kuwombola chakhumi chilichonse, awonjezere pamtengo wake chimodzi mwa zigawo zisanu za mtengowo. Chakhumi cha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa, kapena kuti nyama iliyonse ya khumi imene mʼbusa wayiwerenga idzakhala yopatulikira kwa Yehova. Palibe amene adzaloledwa kusankha nyama yomwe ili yabwino kapena kusinthitsa. Ngati asinthitsa, nyamayo pamodzi ndi inzakeyo zidzakhala zopatulika ndipo sangaziwombole.’ ”
Amenewa ndi malamulo amene Yehova anamupatsa Mose pa Phiri la Sinai kuti awuze Aisraeli.
