8Uhoraho abwira Aroni, ati «Dore nkweguriye igice cy’amaturo yose matagatifu Abayisraheli bagomba kumurikira. Ni wo mugabane nkweguriye, wowe n’abahungu bawe, ku buryo budasubirwaho. 9Dore uruhare rwawe ku maturo matagatifu azaba atatwitswe: mu byo bazamurikira byose, ni ukuvuga amaturo y’ifu, ibitambo by’impongano z’ibyaha, n’ibitambo byose byo kunyihongaho, ayo maturo yose matagatifu, ni ayawe n’abahungu bawe. 10Muzayarira ahantu hatagatifu, kandi abagabo bose bashobora kuzayaryaho. Uzamenye neza ko ayo maturo ari ibintu bitagatifu.
11Ubundi kandi n’ibi bikurikira bizaba ibyawe: ibyo bagabanya ku maturo yose Abayisraheli bamurikira; wowe ubwawe, abahungu bawe n’abakobwa bawe, ndabibahaye ku buryo budasubirwaho. Abantu bose bo mu nzu yawe bazaba basukuye bazabiryaho. 12Umugabane w’ingenzi w’amavuta mashyashya, uwa divayi nshyashya n’uw’ingano, hamwe n’imiganura iturwa Uhoraho, ndabiguhaye. 13Imiganura y’imyaka yose yera mu gihugu cyabo bakayizanira Uhoraho, na yo ndayiguhaye. Abantu bose bo mu nzu yawe bazaba basukuye, bazayiryaho. 14Uretse ibyo, ikindi cyose kizegurirwa Uhoraho burundu, na cyo kizaba icyawe. 15Icyavutse uburiza mu biremwa byose bazatura Uhoraho, ari abantu cyangwa amatungo, ndabiguhaye. Cyakora abana b’uburiza b’umuntu bazacungurwa, n’uburiza bw’amatungo ahumanye buzacungurwe. 16Ibigomba gucungurwa byose, bizaguranwe bimaze ukwezi kumwe, ku giciro wowe uzagena, ni ukuvuga ku giciro cy’amasikeli atanu ya feza apimiye kuri sikeli y’Ingoro ifite uburemere bwa gera makumyabiri. 17Ariko ibyavutse uburiza ku nka, ku ntama cyangwa ku ihene, ntuzabigurane kuko ari ibintu bitagatifu. Uzasesa amaraso yabyo ku rutambiro, urugimbu rwabyo urutwike nk’ibiribwa bifite impumuro yurura Uhoraho. 18Inyama zabyo zizaba izawe nk’uko ubusanzwe inkoro n’itako ry’iburyo byamuritswe bikugarukira. 19Amaturo yose agabanyijwe ku bintu bitagatifu, Abayisraheli bakayatura Uhoraho, wowe n’abahungu bawe n’abakobwa bawe, ndayabahaye ku buryo budasubirwaho. Iryo ribe Isezerano rikoreshejwe umunyu, kandi ridakuka mu maso y’Uhoraho, kuri wowe no ku bazagukomokaho.»
Ibizatunga Abalevi
20Uhoraho abwira Aroni, ati «Ntuzabona umurage mu gihugu cyabo, nta n’ubwo uzahabwa umugabane hagati yabo. Ni jye uzaba umugabane wawe, mbe n’umurage wawe hagati y’Abayisraheli.
21Abalevi na bo, kubera imirimo bashinzwe yo mu ihema ry’ibonaniro, mbahaye kuzajya bagabana kimwe cya cumi cy’umutungo w’Abayisraheli. 22Bityo Abayisraheli ntibazongera kwegera ihema ry’ibonaniro kuko byababyarira icyaha cyabakururira urupfu. 23Abalevi bazatunganya imirimo yo mu ihema ry’ibonaniro, nihagira ikidatungana, ni bo bazakibazwa. Iryo rizaba itegeko ridakuka mu bisekuruza byanyu. Nta murage Abalevi bazabona mu Bayisraheli, 24ariko nzabaha kugabana kimwe cya cumi buri Muyisraheli wese agabanya ku mutungo we akagitura Uhoraho. Ni yo mpamvu nababwiye ko nta murage bazabona hagati y’Abayisraheli.»
25Uhoraho abwira Musa, ati 26«Dore ibyo uzabwira Abalevi: Abayisraheli bazabaha icyo nabageneyeho umurage ari cyo kimwe cya cumi cy’umutungo wabo. Icyo gihe ku byo muzahabwa, muzagomba kugabanyaho kimwe cya cumi18.26 kimwe cya cumi . . . kigaturwa Uhoraho: Abayisraheli basanzwe bari bategetswe guha Abalevi igice cya cumi cy’ibyo basaruye: ingano, amavuta na divayi. Ariko Abalevi nabo bari bategetswe gutura Uhoraho igice cya cumi mu byo bahabwaga. Muri izo ngano zivanze n’amavuta bakoragamo imigati baturaga hamwe n’ibitambo bitwikwa; na ho divayi bakayisuka imbere y’urutambiro. nanone, kigaturwa Uhoraho. 27Iryo ni ryo rizaba ituro ryanyu, nk’uko abandi Bayisraheli na bo batura divayi nshyashya cyangwa ingano bayoye ku mbuga bazihuriraho. 28Bityo rero namwe, kuri kimwe cya cumi muzahabwa n’Abayisraheli ku mutungo wabo, muzagabanyaho ituro ry’Uhoraho ryose nta na gato mutubijeho. 29Ku biruta ibindi ubwiza muri ibyo bintu muzahabwa, muzagabanyeho ituro ritagatifu.
30Uzongere ubabwire aya magambo uti: Mwebwe Abalevi, nimugabanya ibiruta ibindi ubwiza kuri ibyo bintu, bizaba bihwanye na divayi nshyashya cyangwa ingano zihuriwe ku mbuga. 31Mwebwe n’ingo zanyu, mujye mubirira aho mushatse hose, kuko ari cyo gihembo cyanyu kubera imirimo mushinzwe yo mu ihema ry’ibonaniro. 32Ibyo nimubikora, nta cyaha kizababarwaho kuko muzaba mwangeneye uruhare rw’ingenzi. Ntimuzaba mwanduje amaturo matagatifu y’Abayisraheli, kandi nta n’urupfu muzaba mwikururiye.»
