1And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. 2And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. 4And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. 5So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. 6And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled. 7And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
8¶ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying, 9Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: 10And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; 11And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
12¶ And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy: 13And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. 14And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons’ due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel. 15The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
16¶ And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying, 17Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD? 18Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded. 19And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD? 20And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Kifo Cha Nadabu Na Abihu
110:1 Kut 6:23; 24:1; 28:1; 30:9; Hes 3:2-4; 16:46; 26:61; 16:7, 18; 1Nya 6:3; 1Fal 7:50; Yer 52:19; 2Fal 25:15; 2Nya 4:22; Eze 8:11; Law 16:12; Isa 6:6Nadabu na Abihu, wana wa Aroni, wakachukua vyetezo vyao, wakaweka moto ndani yake na kuongeza uvumba; kisha wakamtolea Bwana moto usio halali, kinyume na agizo la Mungu. 210:2 Za 2:12; 50:3; 106:18; Hes 11:1; 16:35; Isa 29:6; Mwa 19:24; 38:7; 1Nya 24:2; Ay 1:16Hivyo moto ukaja kutoka kwa uwepo wa Bwana na kuwaramba, nao wakafa mbele za Bwana. 310:3 Kut 14:4; 19:22; 30:29; Law 21:6; 22:32; Hes 16:5; 20:13; Isa 5:16; 44:23; 49:3; 55:5; 60:21; Eze 28:22; 38:16Kisha Mose akamwambia Aroni, “Hili ndilo alilonena Bwana wakati aliposema:
“ ‘Miongoni mwa wale watakaonikaribia
nitajionyesha kuwa mtakatifu;
machoni pa watu wote
nitaheshimiwa.’ ”
Aroni akanyamaza.
410:4 Kut 6:18-22; 25:8; Mdo 5:6-10Mose akawaita Mishaeli na Elisafani, wana wa Uzieli mjomba wake Aroni, akawaambia, “Njooni hapa. Ondoeni miili ya binamu zenu mbele ya mahali patakatifu, mkaipeleke nje ya kambi.” 510:5 Law 8:13; 10:6; Kut 6:23; Law 13:45; 21:10; Hes 1:53; 5:18; 16:22; 20:29; Yer 41:5; Mk 14:63; Yos 7:1; 22:18; Mwa 50:3, 10; 1Sam 25:1Hivyo wakaja na kuwaondoa, wakiwa bado wamevalia makoti yao ya ibada, wakawapeleka nje ya kambi, kama Mose alivyoamuru.
6Ndipo Mose akamwambia Aroni pamoja na wanawe, Eleazari na Ithamari, “Msifunue vichwa vyenu wala msirarue mavazi yenu, la sivyo mtakufa na Bwana ataikasirikia jumuiya nzima. Lakini ndugu zenu, nyumba yote ya Israeli, wanaweza kuwaombolezea wale ambao Bwana amewaangamiza kwa moto. 710:7 Kut 25:8; 28:41; Law 21:12Msitoke nje ya ingilio la Hema la Kukutania, la sivyo mtakufa, kwa sababu mafuta ya Bwana ya upako yako juu yenu.” Hivyo wakafanya kama vile Mose alivyosema.
8Kisha Bwana akamwambia Aroni, 910:9 Mwa 9:21; Kut 12:14; 29:40; Law 23:13; Hes 6:3; 15:5; 28:7; Kum 14:26; 28:39; 29:6; Isa 5:22; 22:13; 28:1, 7; Yer 35:6; Hos 4:11; Hab 2:15-16; Amu 13:4; Mit 21:1; 23:29-35; 31:4-7; Eze 44:21; Mik 2:11; Lk 1:15; Efe 5:18; 1Tim 3:3; Tit 1:7“Wewe na wanao msinywe mvinyo wala kinywaji kingine kilichochachuka wakati mwingiapo katika Hema la Kukutania, la sivyo mtakufa. Hili litakuwa Agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo. 1010:10 Mwa 7:2; Law 6:27; 14:57; 20:25; Eze 22:26; 10:11; 2Nya 15:3; 17:7; Ezr 7:25; Neh 8:7; Mal 2:7; Kum 17:10-11; 24:8; 25:1; 33:10; Mit 4:27; Hag 2:11Ni lazima mtenganishe kilicho kitakatifu na kile kilicho cha kawaida, kati ya yaliyo najisi na yaliyo safi, 11na lazima mwafundishe Waisraeli amri zote ambazo Bwana aliwapa kupitia Mose.”
1210:12 Kut 29:41; Law 6:14-18; 10:13; 6:16; Eze 42:13Mose akamwambia Aroni pamoja na wanawe waliosalia, Eleazari na Ithamari, “Chukueni sadaka ya nafaka iliyobaki kutoka sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto, muile hapo kando ya madhabahu ikiwa imeandaliwa bila chachu, kwa sababu ni takatifu sana. 13Mtaila katika mahali patakatifu kwa sababu ni fungu lenu na fungu la wana wenu la sadaka zilizotolewa kwa Bwana kwa moto, kwa maana hivyo ndivyo nilivyoamriwa. 1410:14 Hes 5:9; Kut 29:31; Law 4:12Lakini wewe na wanao na binti zako mwaweza kula kidari kile kilichoinuliwa na paja lile lililotolewa. Mtavila mahali safi pa kawaida ya ibada; mmepewa wewe na watoto wako kuwa fungu lenu la sadaka za amani za Waisraeli. 1510:15 Law 7:34; Kut 29:28Paja lile lililotolewa na kidari kile kilichoinuliwa lazima viletwe pamoja na sehemu za mafuta ya sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa moto, ili kuinuliwa mbele za Bwana kama sadaka ya kuinuliwa. Hili litakuwa fungu lako la kawaida na wanao, kama Bwana alivyoagiza.”
1610:16 Law 9:3Mose alipouliza kuhusu mbuzi atolewaye kwa ajili ya sadaka ya dhambi, na kukuta kwamba ameteketezwa, aliwakasirikia Eleazari na Ithamari, wana wa Aroni waliobaki, akawauliza, 1710:17 Law 6:24-30; Eze 42:13; Kut 28:38“Kwa nini hamkula sadaka ya dhambi katika eneo la mahali patakatifu? Ni takatifu sana. Mlipewa ninyi ili kuondoa hatia ya jumuiya kwa ajili ya kuwafanyia upatanisho mbele za Bwana. 1810:18 Law 4:18; 6:17, 26, 30Kwa kuwa damu yake haikuletwa ndani ya Mahali Patakatifu, mngemla mbuzi huyo katika sehemu ya mahali patakatifu kama nilivyoagiza.”
1910:19 Law 9:12; Yer 6:20; 14:12; Hos 9:4; Mal 1:10Aroni akamjibu Mose, “Leo wanangu wametoa sadaka zao za dhambi na sadaka zao za kuteketezwa mbele za Bwana, lakini mambo kama haya yamenitokea mimi. Je, Bwana angependezwa kama ningekuwa nimekula sadaka ya dhambi leo?” 20Mose aliposikia haya, akaridhika.
