Umnikelo wesono (1-35)
4 UJehova wasesithi kuMosi:
2 “Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nanku okumele kwenziwe nxa umuntu angenza isono engahlosanga,+ enze loba yini uJehova athe akumelanga yenziwe:
3 “‘Nxa umphristi ogcotshiweyo+ angenza isono+ abesebangela ukuthi abantu babe lecala, kumele alethe ijongosi elingelasici kuJehova libe ngumnikelo wesono asenzileyo.+
4 Kalethe ijongosi lelo phambi kukaJehova emnyango wetende lokuhlangana,+ abesebeka isandla sakhe ekhanda lalo futhi kumele alihlabe phambi kukaJehova.+
5 Ngemva kwalokho umphristi ogcotshiweyo+ uzathatha elinye igazi lejongosi lelo angene lalo etendeni lokuhlangana;
6 njalo umphristi uzagxamuza umunwe wakhe egazini lelo,+ afafaze igazi lakhona kasikhombisa+ phambi kukaJehova, phambi kwekhetheni lendawo engcwele.
7 Kanti njalo umphristi uzaninda elinye igazi empondweni ze-alithare lokutshisela impepha enukelelayo,+ eliphambi kukaJehova etendeni lokuhlangana; elinye lonke igazi lejongosi uzalithela phansi kwe-alithare lomnikelo wokutshiswa+ elisemnyango wetende lokuhlangana.
8 “‘Ngemva kwalokho uzakhipha wonke amafutha ejongosi lomnikelo wesono kanye ledanga* elembese amathumbu lamafutha asemathunjini,
9 lezinso ezimbili lamafutha azo aseduze lezinqe. Nxa esekhipha izinso, uzakhipha lamafutha aphezu kwesibindi.+
10 Kumele kufanane lalokho okukhitshwe ejongosini lomhlatshelo wobudlelwano+ njalo umphristi uzakutshisa kuthunqe phezu kwe-alithare.
11 “‘Kodwa isikhumba sejongosi lelo lenyama yalo, lenhloko, lamangqina, lamathumbu kanye lomswane,+
12 yonke nje inyama yalo, kumele athi ikhitshelwe ngaphandle kwezihonqo endaweni ehlanzekileyo lapho okuchithelwa khona umlotha, abeseyitshisa phezu kwenkuni ezisemlilweni.+ Kumele itshiselwe lapho okuchithelwa khona umlotha.
13 “‘Nxa bonke abako-Israyeli bangaba lecala ngenxa yesono abasenze bengahlosanga+ kodwa ibandla langananzeleli ukuthi benze lokho uJehova athe bangakwenzi,+
14 besekusenzakala ukuthi isono leso saziwe, ibandla kumele lithathe ijongosi elizakuba ngumnikelo wesono njalo kumele lilethwe phambi kwetende lokuhlangana.
15 Abadala bebandla lako-Israyeli bazabeka izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda lejongosi lelo phambi kukaJehova njalo lizahlatshelwa phambi kukaJehova.
16 “‘Ngemva kwalokho umphristi ogcotshiweyo uzaletha elinye igazi lejongosi lelo etendeni lokuhlangana.
17 Kumele agxamuze umunwe wakhe egazini lelo, afafaze igazi lakhona kasikhombisa phambi kukaJehova, phambi kwekhetheni.+
18 Ngemva kwalokho umphristi uzaninda elinye igazi empondweni ze-alithare+ eliphambi kukaJehova etendeni lokuhlangana, elinye lonke igazi lejongosi uzalithela phansi kwe-alithare lomnikelo wokutshiswa elisemnyango wetende lokuhlangana.+
19 Uzakhipha wonke amafutha alo, abasewatshisa athunqe phezu kwe-alithare.+
20 Ijongosi lelo kumele alenze lokho akwenze kwelinye ijongosi lomnikelo wesono. Lokhu yikho okumele akwenze kulo njalo umphristi uzabahlawulela+ besebethethelelwa.
21 Uzakuthi ijongosi lelo likhitshelwe ngaphandle kwezihonqo, abeselitshisa ngendlela atshise ngayo ijongosi lokuqala.+ Lo ngumnikelo wesono owenzelwa ibandla.+
22 “‘Nxa umkhokheli+ angenza isono engahlosanga, enze loba yiphi into uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe athe akumelanga yenziwe njalo atholakale elecala,
23 kumbe nxa angananzelela ukuthi wenze isono ngokwephula umlayo, kumele alethe umnikelo wezinyane lembuzi eliduna elingelasici.
24 Uzabeka isandla sakhe phezu kwekhanda lezinyane lembuzi njalo alihlabe phambi kukaJehova endaweni okuhlatshelwa kuyo umnikelo wokutshiswa.+ Lo ngumnikelo wesono.
25 Umphristi uzathatha elinye igazi lomnikelo wesono ngomunwe wakhe alininde empondweni+ ze-alithare lomnikelo wokutshiswa; elinye lonke igazi lezinyane lelo uzalithela phansi kwe-alithare lomnikelo wokutshiswa.+
26 Wonke amafutha alo uzawatshisa athunqe phezu kwe-alithare njengamafutha omhlatshelo wobudlelwano,+ umphristi uzamhlawulela isono sakhe, abesethethelelwa.
27 “‘Nxa loba ngubani elizweni angenza isono engahlosanga, abe lecala lokwenza loba yini uJehova athe ingenziwa,+
28 kumbe nxa angananzelela ukuthi wenze isono, kumele alethe izinyane lembuzi elisikazi elingelasici libe ngumnikelo wesono asenzileyo.
29 Kumele abeke isandla sakhe phezu kwekhanda lezinyane lomnikelo wesono, abesehlaba umnikelo wesono lapho okuhlatshelwa khona umnikelo wokutshiswa.+
30 Umphristi uzathatha elinye igazi lawo ngomunwe wakhe alininde empondweni ze-alithare lomnikelo wokutshiswa; elinye lonke igazi uzalithela phansi kwe-alithare.+
31 Uzakhipha wonke amafutha alo+ ngendlela okukhitshwa ngayo amafutha omhlatshelo wobudlelwano,+ umphristi uzawatshisa athunqe e-alithareni, kube ngumnikelo oloqhatshi olumnandi kuJehova njalo umphristi uzamhlawulela isono sakhe, abesethethelelwa.
32 “‘Kodwa nxa umnikelo wakhe wesono kuyimvana, kumele alethe imvana ensikazi engelasici.
33 Kumele abeke isandla sakhe phezu kwekhanda lemvana yomnikelo wesono njalo ayihlabe ibe ngumnikelo wesono lapho okuhlatshelwa khona umnikelo wokutshiswa.+
34 Umphristi uzathatha elinye igazi lomnikelo wesono ngomunwe wakhe alininde empondweni ze-alithare lomnikelo wokutshiswa,+ elinye lonke igazi eliseleyo uzalithela phansi kwe-alithare.
35 Uzakhipha wonke amafutha alo ngendlela okukhitshwa ngayo amafutha emvana enduna eyomhlatshelo wobudlelwano. Kanti njalo umphristi uzawatshisa athunqe e-alithareni phezu kweminikelo etshiselwa uJehova ngomlilo+ futhi umphristi uzamhlawulela isono sakhe, abesethethelelwa.+
