The Ordination of Aaron and His Sons
(Exodus 29.1-37)1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of my presence and bring the priestly garments, the anointing oil, the young bull for the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread. 3 Then call the whole community together there.”
4 Moses did as the Lord had commanded, and when the community had assembled, 5 he said to them, “What I am now about to do is what the Lord has commanded.”
6 Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and had them take a ritual bath. 7 He put the shirt and the robe on Aaron and the sash around his waist. He put the ephod on him and fastened it by putting its finely woven belt around his waist. 8 He put the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim in it. 9 He placed the turban on his head, and on the front of it he put the gold ornament, the sacred sign of dedication, just as the Lord had commanded him.
10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and put it on the Tent of the Lord's presence and everything that was in it, and in this way he dedicated it all to the Lord. 11 He took some of the oil and sprinkled it seven times on the altar and its equipment and on the basin and its base, in order to dedicate them to the Lord. 12 He ordained Aaron by pouring some of the anointing oil on his head. 13 Next, Moses brought the sons of Aaron forward and put shirts on them, put sashes around their waists, and tied caps on their heads, just as the Lord had commanded.
14 Then Moses brought the young bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head. 15 Moses killed it and took some of the blood, and with his finger put it on the projections at the corners of the altar, in order to dedicate it. He then poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. In this way he dedicated it and purified it. 16 Moses took all the fat on the internal organs, the best part of the liver, and the kidneys with the fat on them, and burned it all on the altar. 17 He took the rest of the bull, including its skin, flesh, and intestines, and burned it outside the camp, just as the Lord had commanded.
18 Next, Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head. 19 Moses killed it and threw the blood on all four sides of the altar. 20-21 He cut the ram in pieces, washed the internal organs and the hind legs with water, and burned the head, the fat, and all the rest of the ram on the altar, just as the Lord had commanded. This burnt offering was a food offering, and its odor was pleasing to the Lord.
22 Then Moses brought the second ram, which was for the ordination of priests, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head. 23 Moses killed it and took some of the 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. 24 Then he 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. Moses then threw the rest of the blood on all four sides of the altar. 25 He took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat covering the internal organs, the best part of the liver, the kidneys with the fat on them, and the right hind leg. 26 Then he took one loaf of bread from the basket of unleavened bread dedicated to the Lord, one loaf made with oil, and one thin cake, and he put them on top of the fat and the right hind leg. 27 He put all of this food in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and they presented it as a special gift to the Lord. 28 Then Moses took the food from them and burned it on the altar, on top of the burnt offering, as an ordination offering. This was a food offering, and its odor was pleasing to the Lord. 29 Then Moses took the breast and presented it as a special gift to the Lord. It was Moses' part of the ordination ram. Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded.
30 Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his sons and on their clothes. In this way he consecrated them and their clothes to the Lord.
31 Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Take the meat to the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence, boil it, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of ordination offerings, just as the Lord commanded. 32 Burn up any meat or bread that is left over. 33 You shall not leave the entrance of the Tent for seven days, until your ordination rites are completed. 34 The Lord commanded us to do what we have done today, in order to take away your sin. 35 You must stay at the entrance of the Tent day and night for seven days, doing what the Lord has commanded. If you don't, you will die. This is what the Lord has commanded me.” 36 So Aaron and his sons did everything that the Lord had commanded through Moses.

Ondjenge ndji oyo otjihako otjiyapuke otja Muhona pa rakiza ku Moses.
10 Tjazumba Moses wa toora omaze omatwirise na twirisa na wo Ondanda yOmahakaeneno na avihe mbya ri mu yo ne vi yapurire Muhona. 11 Neye wa pamenena otjipunguhiro potuhambombari nomaze tjiva wokutwirisa; komuhingo mbwi otja twirisa otjipunguhiro noviungurise vyatjo avihe, notjiyaha tjomerikohero, notjikurameno tjatjo okuviyapurira Muhona. 12 Neye otja tirira omaze omatwirise tjiva kotjiuru tja Aron e mu twirisire. 13 Rukwao Moses wa eta ovazandu va Aron popezu, e ve zarisa ozombanda zokehi, e ve varanga nomakwamo ne ve kutu ozonḓuru koviuru otja Muhona pa rakiza.
14 Moses wa eta ondwiyona yombunguhiro yokuisapo ourunde, nu Aron novazandu ve va twa omake wawo kotjiuru tjayo. 15 Nu Moses we i zepa na woto ombinḓu tjiva ne i hu nomunwe we kozonya zotjipunguhiro okutjiyapura. Nungwari ombinḓu ndja hupa we i tirira pehi meṋe yotjipunguhiro. Komuhingo mbwi otje tji yapura nokutjikohorora. 16 Tjazumba Moses wa isa ko oruehe aruhe, noruamba ndwa ri kehuri, nozosyoti azeyembari puna ozonḓura zazo ne vi ningiririsire kotjipunguhiro. 17 Neye wa kaningiririsa omukova wondwiyona, nonyama notjandja tjayo pendje yozondanda otja Muhona pa rakiza.
18 Tjazumba Moses wa eta ondwezu yonḓu yombunguhiro oningiririsiwa, nu Aron novazandu ve va twa omake wawo kotjiuru tjayo. 19 Moses we i zepa na pemenene ombinḓu keṋe yotjipunguhiro okukondorokisa. 20 Neye we i haṋa moviṋepo pekepeke na ningiririsa otjiuru noviṋepo mbi nozonḓura. 21 Nungwari imbi oviṋa vyopehuri nozonyu we vi koha momeva na ningiririsire indji ondwezu yonḓu aihe kotjipunguhiro. Nu indji ombunguhiro oningiririsiwa, yari ombunguhiro oningiririsiwa otja Muhona pa rakiza ku Moses, nomuṋuko wayo aa u yandja onyuṋe ku Muhona.
22 Moses wa eta ondwezu yonḓu oitjavari, ndja ri oyomazikiro wovapristeri, nu Aron novazandu ve va twa omake wawo kotjiuru tjayo. 23 Moses we i zepa na woto ombinḓu tjiva ne i hu kokutwi kwa Aron kwokunene kehi, na komunwe katjimunene weke re rokunene, na komunwe katjimunene wombaze ye yokunene. 24 Tjazumba Moses wa eta ovazandu va Aron popezu na hu ombinḓu kokutwi kwokunene kwaauhe wawo kehi, na komunwe katjimunene weke rokunene raauhe, na komunwe katjimunene wombaze yokunene yaauhe. Nombinḓu ndja hupu we i pamenena keṋe yotjipunguhiro okukondorokisa. 25 Neye wa toora ozonḓura, okutja omutjira, nozonḓura azehe zoviṋa vyopehuri, noruamba nozosyoti azeyembari puna ozonḓura zazo, nokurama kwokunene. 26 Eye wina wa toora evanda rimwe motjimbamba tjomavanda nge hi nosurise tji tja ri komurungu wa Muhona, nevanda rimwe nda huwa omaze, nevanda rimwe epapi; nomavanda nga aehe we ye twa kombanda yovikonya vyozonḓura na kombanda yokurama kwokunene. 27 Nu ovikurya avihe mbi we vi twa momake wa Aron novazandu ve; nowo ve vi yandja ku Muhona otja otjiyandjewa tjapeke. 28 Tjazumba Moses we vi isa mo momake wawo ne vi ningiririsire kotjipunguhiro, kombanda yombunguhiro oningiririsiwa otja ombunguhiro yomazikiro. Nu indji ondji ri ombunguhiro oningiririsiwa, nomuṋuko wayo ma u yandja onyuṋe ku Muhona. 29 Nu Moses wa toora orukoro wina ne ru yandja ku Muhona otja otjiyandjewa tjapeke. Nu indwi orukoro rwondwezu yomazikiro ondwa rira orwa Moses otja Muhona pa rakiza ku ye.
30 Nu Moses wa isa ko omaze tjiva omatwirise, nombinḓu tjiva ndja ri kotjipunguhiro ne vi pemenene kooAron novazandu ve na kozombanda zawo. Komuhingo mbwi otje ve yapurira Muhona pamwe nozombanda zawo.
31 Moses wa tja kooAron novazandu ve: “Kasumisireye onyama ndji pomahitiro wOndanda yOmahakaeneno, nu i rireye mbo puna omavanda nge ri motjimbamba tjombunguhiro yomazikiro, otja Muhona pa rakiza. 32 Nungwari onyama nomavanda nga hupu vi ningiririseye. 33 Oure womayuva hambombari amu piti mOndanda yOmahakaeneno, nga omayuva womayapuriro weṋu tji ya kapita; orondu omayapuriro weṋu maye kambura oure womayuva hambombari. 34 Muhona we tu rakiza kutja tu tjite nai aruhe otja tji twa tjiti ndinondi kokutja ourunde weṋu u isiwe po. 35 Eṋe mamu sokukara pomahitiro wOndanda yOmahakaeneno omutenya nouṱuku, oure womayuva hambombari, amamu ṱakamisa omazikamisiro wa Muhona kutja amu ha ṱu; orondu otji mba rakiziwa.” 36 Nu Aron novazandu ve otji va tjita oviṋa avihe Muhona mbya rakizire ku Moses.
