Okufa kwa Nadabu ne Abiku

10 (A)Awo olwatuuka, batabani ba Alooni, Nadabu ne Abiku ne beetwalira buli omu ekyoterezo kye, ne bateekamu omuliro, ne bassaako obubaane, ne bawaayo eri Mukama Katonda omuliro ogutali mutukuvu, ne basobya ekiragiro kye. (B)Omuliro ne guva eri Mukama ne gubookya, ne bafiira awo mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda. (C)Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni nti, Kino Mukama Katonda kye yayogerako bwe yagamba nti,

“ ‘Nzija kweyolekanga nga bwe ndi omutukuvu
    eri abo abansemberera,
era nassibwangamu ekitiibwa
    abantu bonna.’ ”

Alooni n’asirika busirisi.

(D)Awo Musa n’ayita Misayeri ne Erizafani, abaana ba Wuziyeeri kitaawe omuto owa Alooni, n’abagamba nti, “Mujje wano musitule emirambo gya baganda bammwe mugiggye wano awatukuvu mugitwale ebweru w’olusiisira.” (E)Bwe batyo ne bajja ne basitula baganda baabwe abo nga bwe baali bayambadde ne babatwala ebweru w’olusiisira nga Musa bwe yabagamba.

(F)Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni, ne Eriyazaali ne Isamaali, batabani ba Alooni, nti, “Mmwe temusumulula nviiri zammwe okuzita ne zireebeeta era temuyuza byambalo byammwe nga mukungubaga, kubanga muyinza okufa, n’obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda buyinza okubuubuukira abantu bonna. Naye baganda bammwe, ye nnyumba yonna eya Isirayiri, babakaabire abo Mukama Katonda b’azikirizza n’omuliro. (G)Era temuva ku mulyango gwa Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, temulwa kufa; kubanga muliko amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ga Mukama Katonda ag’okwawula.” Ne bakola nga Musa bwe yabalagira.

Bakabona bye Basaana Okwegendereza

Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Alooni nti, (H)“Ggwe ne batabani bo bwe muyingiranga mu Weema ya Mukama ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu temunywanga envinnyo oba ekyokunywa ekirala kyonna ekitamiiza; bwe mulikikola temulirema kufa. Eryo linaabanga tteeka ery’enkalakkalira ne mu mirembe gyonna egigenda okujja. 10 (I)Mwawulengamu ebitukuvu n’ebyabulijjo, ebirongoofu n’ebitali birongoofu; 11 (J)era kibasaanidde okuyigirizanga abaana ba Isirayiri amateeka gonna Mukama Katonda g’abawadde ng’agayisa mu Musa.”

Etteeka ery’Okulya Emmere Entukuvu

12 (K)Awo Musa n’agamba Alooni ne Eriyazaali ne Isamaali, batabani ba Alooni abaali basigaddewo, nti, “Mutwale ekiweebwayo eky’emmere ey’empeke ekyasigaddewo ku biweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda nga si kizimbulukuse, mukiriire okumpi n’ekyoto kubanga kitukuvu nnyo. 13 Mukiriire mu kifo ekitukuvu, kubanga gwe mugabo gwo, era gwe mugabo gw’abatabani bo, nga guva ku kiweebwayo eri Mukama Katonda ekyokebwa; bwe ntyo bwe ndagiddwa. 14 (L)Naye ekifuba ekiwuubibwa n’ekisambi ekiweebwayo munaabiriira mu kifo kyonna kye munaalaba ekirongoofu; mubirye, ggwe ne batabani bo ne bawala bo b’oli nabo; kubanga bibaweereddwa ng’omugabo gwammwe, ggwe n’abaana bo, nga biva ku biweebwayo olw’emirembe ebiweereddwayo abaana ba Isirayiri. 15 (M)Ekisambi ekiweereddwayo n’ekifuba ekiwuubibwa, binaaleetebwa awamu n’amasavu ag’oku biweebwayo ebyokebwa, ne biwuubibwawuubibwa nga kye kiweebwayo ekiwuubibwa awali Mukama, era kinaabeeranga mugabo gwo awamu ne batabani bo emirembe gyonna; nga Mukama Katonda bw’alagidde.”

16 (N)Awo Musa n’abuuliriza ebyali bifudde ku mbuzi ey’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’avumbula nga baagyokezza dda, n’anyiigira batabani ba Alooni abaali basigaddewo, Eriyazaali ne Isamaali, n’ababuuza nti, 17 (O)“Lwaki ekiweebwayo ekyo olw’ekibi temwakiriiridde, wali awatukuvu? Kitukuvu nnyo. Kyabaweereddwa kiryoke kiggyiseeko abantu bonna ebibi byabwe, nga mmwe mubatangiririra awali Mukama Katonda. 18 (P)Ng’omusaayi gwayo bwe gutaatwaliddwa munda mu Kifo Ekitukuvu, embuzi eyo ddala mwandigiriiridde awo awatukuvu nga bwe nabalagira.”

19 (Q)Awo Alooni n’addamu Musa nti, “Laba, olwa leero bawaddeyo eri Mukama Katonda ekiweebwayo olw’ebibi byabwe n’ekiweebwayo kyabwe ekyokebwa; naye era ebintu nga bino ne bingwako. Mukama Katonda yandisanyuse singa leero ndidde ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi?” 20 Awo Musa bwe yawulira ebigambo ebyo n’amatira.

The Death of Nadab and Abihu

10 Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu(A) took their censers,(B) put fire in them(C) and added incense;(D) and they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord,(E) contrary to his command.(F) So fire came out(G) from the presence of the Lord and consumed them,(H) and they died before the Lord.(I) Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke of when he said:

“‘Among those who approach me(J)
    I will be proved holy;(K)
in the sight of all the people
    I will be honored.(L)’”

Aaron remained silent.

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan,(M) sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel,(N) and said to them, “Come here; carry your cousins outside the camp,(O) away from the front of the sanctuary.(P) So they came and carried them, still in their tunics,(Q) outside the camp, as Moses ordered.

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar,(R) “Do not let your hair become unkempt[a](S) and do not tear your clothes,(T) or you will die and the Lord will be angry with the whole community.(U) But your relatives, all the Israelites, may mourn(V) for those the Lord has destroyed by fire. Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting(W) or you will die, because the Lord’s anointing oil(X) is on you.” So they did as Moses said.

Then the Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons are not to drink wine(Y) or other fermented drink(Z) whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance(AA) for the generations to come, 10 so that you can distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean,(AB) 11 and so you can teach(AC) the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through Moses.(AD)

12 Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering(AE) left over from the food offerings prepared without yeast and presented to the Lord and eat it beside the altar,(AF) for it is most holy. 13 Eat it in the sanctuary area,(AG) because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings presented to the Lord; for so I have been commanded.(AH) 14 But you and your sons and your daughters may eat the breast(AI) that was waved and the thigh that was presented. Eat them in a ceremonially clean place;(AJ) they have been given to you and your children as your share of the Israelites’ fellowship offerings. 15 The thigh(AK) that was presented and the breast that was waved must be brought with the fat portions of the food offerings, to be waved before the Lord as a wave offering.(AL) This will be the perpetual share for you and your children, as the Lord has commanded.”

16 When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering[b](AM) and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked, 17 “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering(AN) in the sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt(AO) of the community by making atonement for them before the Lord. 18 Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place,(AP) you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.(AQ)

19 Aaron replied to Moses, “Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering(AR) before the Lord, but such things as this have happened to me. Would the Lord have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?” 20 When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.
