The Ordination of Aaron and His Sons
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Bring Aaron and his sons, their garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering,8:2 Or purification offering; also in verse 14 the two rams and the basket containing bread made without yeast, 3and gather the entire assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting.” 4Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the assembly gathered at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
5Moses said to the assembly, “This is what the Lord has commanded to be done.” 6Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water. 7He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him. He also fastened the ephod with a decorative waistband, which he tied around him. 8He placed the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece. 9Then he placed the turban on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the sacred emblem, on the front of it, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated them. 11He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointing the altar and all its utensils and the basin with its stand, to consecrate them. 12He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to consecrate him. 13Then he brought Aaron’s sons forward, put tunics on them, tied sashes around them and fastened caps on them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
14He then presented the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 15Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on all the horns of the altar to purify the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. So he consecrated it to make atonement for it. 16Moses also took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys and their fat, and burned it on the altar. 17But the bull with its hide and its flesh and its intestines he burned up outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
18He then presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 19Then Moses slaughtered the ram and splashed the blood against the sides of the altar. 20He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces and the fat. 21He washed the internal organs and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
22He then presented the other ram, the ram for the ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 23Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. 24Moses also brought Aaron’s sons forward and put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he splashed blood against the sides of the altar. 25After that, he took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, both kidneys and their fat and the right thigh. 26And from the basket of bread made without yeast, which was before the Lord, he took one thick loaf, one thick loaf with olive oil mixed in, and one thin loaf, and he put these on the fat portions and on the right thigh. 27He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and they waved them before the Lord as a wave offering. 28Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering as an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord. 29Moses also took the breast, which was his share of the ordination ram, and waved it before the Lord as a wave offering, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments and his sons and their garments.
31Moses then said to Aaron and his sons, “Cook the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat it there with the bread from the basket of ordination offerings, as I was commanded: ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it.’ 32Then burn up the rest of the meat and the bread. 33Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed, for your ordination will last seven days. 34What has been done today was commanded by the Lord to make atonement for you. 35You must stay at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and do what the Lord requires, so you will not die; for that is what I have been commanded.”
36So Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord commanded through Moses.
Mwambo Wodzoza Aaroni ndi Ana Ake
1Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, 2“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, 3ndipo usonkhanitse gulu la anthu pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.” 4Mose anachita zomwe Yehova anamulamula ndipo gulu la anthu linasonkhana pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
5Mose anawuza gulu la anthuwo kuti, “Izi ndi zimene Yehova walamulira kuti zichitike.” 6Pamenepo Mose anabwera ndi Aaroni ndi ana ake nawasambitsa ndi madzi. 7Anamuveka Aaroni mwinjiro, ndi kumumanga lamba mʼchiwuno. Anamuvekanso mkanjo wa efodi ndi efodiyo. Anamangira lamba efodiyo amene analukidwa mwaluso uja, motero efodiyo analimba mʼchiwunomo. 8Anamuvekanso chovala chapachifuwa ndipo mʼchovalacho anayikamo Urimu ndi Tumimu. 9Kenaka anamuveka Aaroniyo nduwira kumutu ndipo patsogolo pa nduwirayo anayikapo duwa lagolide, chizindikiro chopatulika monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
10Pamenepo Mose anatenga mafuta wodzozera nadzoza tenti ya msonkhano pamodzi ndi zonse zimene zinali mʼmenemo, ndipo potero anazipatula. 11Anawaza mafuta ena pa guwa kasanu ndi kawiri, nalidzoza guwalo pamodzi ndi ziwiya zake zonse. Anadzozanso beseni ndi tsinde lake, nazipatula. 12Anathira mafuta wodzozera ena pamutu pa Aaroni ndipo anamudzoza ndi kumupatula. 13Kenaka anabwera ndi ana a Aaroni. Anawaveka minjiro, ndi kuwamanga malamba mʼchiwuno ndi kuwaveka nduwira kumutu monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
14Kenaka Mose anabwera ndi ngʼombe yayimuna ya nsembe yopepesera machimo, ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake anasanjika manja awo pamutu pa ngʼombeyo. 15Mose 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. 16Mose anatenganso mafuta onse okuta matumbo, mafuta ophimba chiwindi, ndiponso impsyo zonse ziwiri pamodzi ndi mafuta ake, nazitentha pa guwapo. 17Koma nyama yangʼombeyo, chikopa chake ndi matumbo ake anaziwotcha kunja kwa msasa monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
18Kenaka anabwera ndi nkhosa yayimuna ya nsembe yopsereza, ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna anasanjika manja awo pamutu pake. 19Ndipo Mose anapha nkhosayo ndi kuwaza magazi ake mbali zonse zaguwalo. 20Anayidula nkhosayo nthulinthuli ndipo anatentha mutu wake, nthulizo ndi mafuta. 21Anatsuka 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.
22Kenaka Mose anapereka nkhosa yayimuna ina pamwambo wodzoza ansembe, ndipo Aaroni ndi ana ake aamuna anasanjika manja awo pamutu pake. 23Mose 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. 24Pambuyo 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. 25Anatenganso mafuta ake, mafuta a ku mchira wake, mafuta okuta matumbo, mafuta okuta chiwindi, impsyo zonse ziwiri ndi mafuta ake ndiponso ntchafu yakumanja. 26Ndipo 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. 27Mose anapereka zonsezi mʼmanja mwa Aaroni ndi ana ake amene anazipereka kwa Yehova kuti zikhale nsembe yoweyula. 28Kenaka 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. 29Mose 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.
30Kenaka 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.
31Mose 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.’ 32Ndipo nyama ndi buledi zotsalazo, muziwotche. 33Musatuluke kunja kwa tenti ya msonkhano kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri mpaka masiku amwambo wokudzozani unsembe atatha, pakuti mwambowu ndi wa masiku asanu ndi awiri. 34Zimene zachitika lerozi analamula ndi Yehova kuti zichitike ngati nsembe yopepesera machimo anu. 35Muzikhala 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.” 36Choncho Aaroni ndi ana ake anachita zonse zimene Yehova analamula kudzera mwa Mose.
