Guharūra 4:1-49
4 Nuko Yehova abwira Musa na Aroni ati:
2 “Hazoharurwe igitigiri cose hamwe ca bene Kohati+ muri bene Lewi, hisunzwe imiryango yabo, mu nzu ya ba se,
3 kuva ku myaka mirongo itatu kuduga+ gushika ku myaka mirongo itanu+, abinjira mu mugwi w’abakora igikorwa+ mw’ihema ry’ihuriro bose.
4 “Iki ni co gikorwa ca bene Kohati mw’ihema ry’ihuriro+. Ni ikintu ceranda rwose:
5 Igihe ikambi igira igende, Aroni n’abahungu biwe baze binjire, maze bamanure irido+ yo gukingiriza hanyuma bayipfukishe isandugu+ y’igishingantahe.
6 Baze bayishireko igipfukisho c’inshato z’ivyogaruzi*+ hanyuma basanze hejuru impuzu yose uko ingana y’ubururu maze bashiremwo iminiho+ yayo.
7 “Bazosanza impuzu y’ubururu ku meza+ y’imikate yerekanwa*, kandi baze bayishireko amasahani+, n’ibikombe, n’amabakure+, n’amakarabo y’ishikanwa ry’ikinyobwa; kandi umukate w’ubudasiba+ uze ugume kuri yo.
8 Baze basanze kuri vyo impuzu y’ibara ry’agahama*+, kandi baze bayipfukishe igipfukisho c’inshato z’ivyogaruzi+ hanyuma bashiremwo iminiho+ yayo.
9 Baze bafate impuzu y’ubururu maze bapfuke igitereko c’amatara+ c’igitangamuco, n’amatara yaco+, n’udupensi+ twaco, n’ibijamwo umuriro+ vyaco, n’ivyombo+ vy’amavuta vyaco vyose bakoresha ibikorwa vyaco ubudasiba.
10 Baze bagishire, co hamwe n’ibikoresho vyaco vyose, mu gipfukisho c’inshato z’ivyogaruzi+ maze bagishire ku mwamba.
11 Bazosanza impuzu y’ubururu ku gicaniro+ c’inzahabu, kandi baze bagipfukishe igipfukisho c’inshato z’ivyogaruzi+ maze bashiremwo iminiho yaco+.
12 Baze bafate ibikoresho+ vyose vy’ubusuku bakoresha mu gukorera igikorwa ahantu heranda ubudasiba, babishire mu mpuzu y’ubururu hanyuma babipfukishe igipfukisho c’inshato z’ivyogaruzi+ maze babishire ku mwamba.
13 “Baze bakureho iminyota irimwo ibinure y’igicaniro+ maze basanze kuri co impuzu y’ubwoya buzize ibara ry’umuyugubwe ugomba gutukura.
14 Baze bashire kuri co ibikoresho vyaco vyose bakoresha ibikorwa vyaco ubudasiba, ibijamwo umuriro, amakanya, ibiyozo n’amabakure, ibikoresho vy’igicaniro vyose+; hanyuma baze basanze kuri co igipfukisho c’inshato z’ivyogaruzi maze bashiremwo iminiho yaco+.
15 “Aroni n’abahungu biwe baze barangize gupfuka ahantu heranda+ n’ibikoresho+ vy’aho vyose igihe ikambi izoba igira igende; inyuma y’ivyo bene Kohati bazokwinjira kugira babitware+, mugabo ntibaze bakore+ ku hantu heranda, kuko bopfa ata kabuza. Ivyo bintu ni wo mutwaro wa bene Kohati mw’ihema ry’ihuriro+.
16 “Eleyazari mwene Aroni umuherezi ajejwe gucungera+ amavuta+ y’igitangamuco n’imibavu* imota neza+, n’ishikanwa ry’intete ry’ubudasiba+ n’amavuta yo kurobanuza+, ugucungera itaberenakulo yose n’ikintu cose kiri muri yo, ni ukuvuga ahantu heranda n’ibikoresho vyaho.”
17 Yehova yongera kubwira Musa na Aroni ati:
18 “Ntimuze mureke ngo umuryango ugizwe n’imiryango y’Abakohati+ urandurwe mu Balewi.
19 Mugabo muze mubakorere ibi kugira ngo bagume koko ari bazima ntibapfe kubera begereye ibintu vyeranda rwose+. Aroni n’abahungu biwe bazokwinjira, kandi baze babashinge umwe wese igikorwa ciwe n’umutwaro wiwe.
20 Ntibaze binjire ngo babone ibintu vyeranda n’akanya na gatoyi, kuko bopfa ata kabuza+.”
21 Maze Yehova abwira Musa ati:
22 “Hazoharurwe igitigiri cose hamwe ca bene Gerishoni+, egome, abo bahungu hakurikijwe inzu ya ba se nk’uko imiryango yabo iri.
23 Uzobandika kuva ku myaka mirongo itatu kuduga gushika ku myaka mirongo itanu+, abaza kwinjira mu mugwi w’abakora igikorwa mw’ihema ry’ihuriro bose.
24 Iki ni co gikorwa c’imiryango y’Abagerishoni ku bijanye n’ivyo bazokora be n’ivyo bazotwara+:
25 Baze batware ibitambara vy’ihema+ vy’itaberenakulo n’ihema ry’ihuriro+, igipfukisho+ caryo n’igipfukisho kiri hejuru kuri ryo c’urushato rw’icogaruzi+, n’igikingirizo+ c’ubwinjiriro bw’ihema ry’ihuriro,
26 n’ibitambara bimanitse+ vy’ikigo n’igikingirizo c’ubwinjiriro+ c’irembo ry’ikigo kiri irya n’ino y’itaberenakulo n’igicaniro, n’imigozi y’ihema yavyo n’ibikoresho vy’igikorwa vyavyo vyose, n’ibintu vyose bakoresha igikorwa ubudasiba. Ukwo ni ko bazokora.
27 Igikorwa cose c’abahungu b’Abagerishoni+, ivyo batwara vyose n’ivyo bakora vyose, kizokorwa kw’itegeko rya Aroni n’abahungu biwe+, kandi muze mubashinge imitwaro yabo yose, kibe ikintu bajejwe.
28 Ico ni co gikorwa c’imiryango y’abahungu b’Abagerishoni+ mw’ihema ry’ihuriro, igikorwa babwirizwa gukora kikaba gihagarikiwe na Itamari+ mwene Aroni umuherezi.
29 “Nayo bene Merari+, uzobandika hakurikijwe imiryango yabo, mu nzu ya ba se.
30 Uzobandika kuva ku myaka mirongo itatu kuduga gushika ku myaka mirongo itanu, abaza kwinjira mu mugwi w’abakora igikorwa mw’ihema ry’ihuriro bose+.
31 Ibi ni vyo bajejwe, ivyo bazotwara+, nk’uko igikorwa cabo cose mw’ihema ry’ihuriro kiri: ibizingiti+ vy’itaberenakulo n’ibihindizo+ vyayo n’inkingi+ zayo n’ivyicaro binogoye vyayo+,
32 n’inkingi+ z’ikigo ziri irya n’ino yaco n’ivyicaro binogoye+ vyazo n’imambo zazo+ n’imigozi yazo y’ihema hamwe n’ibikoresho vyazo vyose n’igikorwa cazo cose. Muzobashinga ibikoresho babwirizwa gutwara+, hakurikijwe amazina yabo.
33 Ico ni co gikorwa c’imiryango ya bene Merari+ hisunzwe igikorwa cabo cose mw’ihema ry’ihuriro, gihagarikiwe na Itamari mwene Aroni umuherezi+.”
34 Musa na Aroni n’abakuru+ b’ikoraniro batangura kwandika abahungu b’Abakohati+ hakurikijwe imiryango yabo n’inzu ya ba se,
35 kuva ku myaka mirongo itatu+ kuduga gushika ku myaka mirongo itanu+, abinjira mu mugwi w’abakora igikorwa mw’ihema ry’ihuriro bose+.
36 Abanditswe bo muri bo hakurikijwe imiryango yabo baba ibihumbi bibiri n’amajana indwi na mirongo itanu+.
37 Abo ni bo banditswe+ bo mu miryango y’Abakohati, abakorera mw’ihema ry’ihuriro bose, abo Musa na Aroni banditse kw’itegeko rya Yehova ryatanzwe biciye kuri Musa.
38 Nayo abanditswe bo muri bene Gerishoni+ hakurikijwe imiryango yabo n’inzu ya ba se,
39 kuva ku myaka mirongo itatu kuduga gushika ku myaka mirongo itanu, abinjira mu mugwi w’abakora igikorwa mw’ihema ry’ihuriro+ bose,
40 abanditswe bo muri bo hakurikijwe imiryango yabo, hakurikijwe inzu ya ba se, baba ibihumbi bibiri n’amajana atandatu na mirongo itatu+.
41 Abo ni bo banditswe bo mu miryango ya bene Gerishoni, abakorera mw’ihema ry’ihuriro bose, abo Musa na Aroni banditse kw’itegeko rya Yehova+.
42 Nayo abanditswe bo mu miryango ya bene Merari hakurikijwe imiryango yabo, hakurikijwe inzu ya ba se,
43 kuva ku myaka mirongo itatu kuduga gushika ku myaka mirongo itanu, abinjira mu mugwi w’abakora igikorwa mw’ihema ry’ihuriro+ bose,
44 abanditswe bo muri bo hakurikijwe imiryango yabo baba ibihumbi bitatu n’amajana abiri+.
45 Abo ni bo banditswe bo mu miryango ya bene Merari, abo Musa na Aroni banditse kw’itegeko rya Yehova ryatanzwe biciye kuri Musa+.
46 Abanditswe bose, abo Musa na Aroni n’abakuru ba Isirayeli banditse bwa Balewi hakurikijwe imiryango yabo n’inzu ya ba se,
47 kuva ku myaka mirongo itatu kuduga gushika ku myaka mirongo itanu+, abaza bose gukora igikorwa kiruhisha n’igikorwa co gutwara imitwaro mw’ihema ry’ihuriro+,
48 abanditswe babo baba ibihumbi umunani n’amajana atanu na mirongo umunani+.
49 Bandikwa biciye kuri Musa nk’uko Yehova yari yategetse, umwe wese hakurikijwe igikorwa ciwe n’umutwaro wiwe; bandikwa nk’uko Yehova yari yategetse Musa+.
