3 Umphristi uzokuhlolisisa isilonda esisesikhumbeni sakhe. Nangabe uboya obusesilondeneso butjhugulukile babamhlophe begodu isilonda sibonakala singenelele khulu esikhumbeni, lobo bulepheru. Umphristi uzobuhlolisisa begodu uzokuthi umuntu loyo usilaphele.
4 Nangabe ibala elisesikhumbeni sakhe limhlophe begodu libonakale lingakangeneleli khulu esikhumbeni noboya obusesikhumbeni sakhe nabungakabi mhlophe, umphristi uzokuhlalisa umuntu loyo yedwa amalanga alikhomba.+
5 Ngelanga lekhomba umphristi uzomhlola, nangabe isilondeso sibonakala ngasuthi sipholile begodu akhenge sisabalale esikhumbeni, umphristi uzomhlalisa ayedwa amanye amalanga alikhomba.
6 Umphristi uzomhlola godu ngelanga lekhomba, nangabe isilonda sipholile begodu akhenge sisabalale esikhumbeni sakhe, umphristi uzokuthi umuntu loyo uhlwengile;+ bekusilonda esinesikhumba esomileko kwaphela. Umuntu loyo uzokuhlanza izambatho zakhe ahlwengeke.
7 Kodwana ngemva kobana umphristi athe uhlwengile, kubonakale godu isilonda esinesikhumba esomileko esikhumbeni sakhe besisabalale, kufuze abuyele ayokuvela phambi komphristi.
8 Umphristi uzosihlola, nangabe isilonda esinesikhumba esomileko sisabalele esikhumbeni, umphristi uzokuthi usilaphele. Bulepheru.+
9 “Nange umuntu aphathwa bulepheru, kufuze alethwe kumphristi,
10 umphristi uzomhlola.+ Nangabe lapha avuvuke khona kunokumhlophe noboya besikhumba sakhe sebumhlophe begodu kunesilonda esivulekileko+ lapha avuvuke khona,
11 lobu bulepheru obuzokuhlala isikhathi eside esikhumbeni sakhe begodu umphristi uzokuthi usilaphele. Angekhe amhlalise yedwa+ ngombana usilaphele.
12 Nange ubulepheru busabalala isikhumba soke kusukela ehloko bekube seenyaweni, nanyana kukuphi lapha umphristi abona khona,
13 umphristi nakamhlolako abone ukuthi ubulepheru busabalele esikhumbeni sakhe soke, uzokuthi umuntu loyo uhlwengile.* Isikhumba sakhe soke sesimhlophe begodu uhlwengile.
14 Kodwana nangabe kuvela isilonda esivulekileko esikhumbeni sakhe, uzokuba ngosilapheleko.
15 Umphristi nakabona isilonda esivulekileko, uzokuthi kuye usilaphele.+ Isilonda esivulekileko sisilaphele. Bulepheru.+
16 Nangabe isilonda esivulekileko siba mhlophe godu, umuntu loyo kufuze aye kumphristi.
17 Umphristi uzomhlola,+ nangabe isilonda sesimhlophe, umphristi uzokuthi uhlwengile.
18 “Nangabe umuntu uba nethumba esikhumbeni sakhe begodu liphole,
19 nange lapho bekunethumba khona kuvuvuka kube mhlophe namkha kube nebala elimhlophe namkha elibomvana kufuze avele phambi komphristi.
20 Umphristi uzolihlolisisa,+ nangabe libonakala litjhingela khulu esikhumbeni begodu uboya obusesikhumbeni sebumhlophe umphristi uzokuthi umuntu loyo usilaphele. Bulepheru obuqubuke ethumbeni.
21 Nange umphristi amhlolisisa abone isilonda sesinganaboya obumhlophe begodu singakangeneleli esikhumbeni, umphristi uzomhlalisa yedwa amalanga alikhomba.+
22 Nangabe lisabalele esikhumbeni, umphristi uzokuthi umuntu loyo usilaphele. Unobulepheru.
23 Nangabe ibala alikasabalali, lokho kuvuvuka kwethumba kwaphela, umphristi uzokuthi umuntu loyo uhlwengile.+
24 “Nange umuntu atjhiswa mlilo kuvele inyama begodu lapha atjhe khona kubonakale ibala elimhlophe namkha elibomvu nokumhlophe,
25 umphristi uzolihlolisisa. Nangabe uboya obusebaleni sebumhlophe begodu bubonakala bungenelele khulu esikhumbeni, bulepheru obuvele encebenelo begodu umphristi uzokuthi umuntu loyo usilaphele. Uphethwe bulepheru.
26 Kodwana nangabe umphristi uyalihlolisisa begodu ubona bungekho uboya obumhlophe ebaleni, lingakatjhingeli khulu esikhumbeni begodu lipholile, umphristi uzomhlalisa yedwa amalanga alikhomba.+
27 Umphristi uzomhlola ngelanga lekhomba, nakafumana bona lisabalele esikhumbeni, uzokuthi umuntu loyo usilaphele. Uphethwe bulepheru.
28 Kodwana nangabe ibala alikasabalali esikhumbeni begodu lipholile, kuvuvuka kwaphela okusencebeni, umphristi uzokuthi umuntu loyo uhlwengile, ngombana bekukuvuvuka kwenceba.
29 “Nangabe indoda namkha umfazi uba nesilonda ehloko namkha esilevini,
30 umphristi uzokuqala isilondeso.+ Nangabe isilondeso sibonakala singenelele khulu esikhumbeni begodu sinoboya obutjheli obuncani, umphristi uzokuthi umuntu loyo usilaphele; kugula okuvela esikhumbeni sehloko namkha eendevini. Bulepheru behloko namkha beendevu.
31 Nangabe umphristi ubona isilonda singakangeneleli khulu esikhumbeni begodu kunganaboya obunzima kiso, umphristi kufuze ahlalise umuntu loyo ayedwa amalanga alikhomba.+
32 Umphristi uzokuhlola isilondeso ngelanga lekhomba, nangabe isilondeso asikasabalali begodu akunaboya obutjheli obuvelileko kiso, nesilonda sibonakala singakangeneli khulu esikhumbeni,
33 umuntu loyo kufuze agude kodwana akukafuzi agude lapha kunesilonda khona. Ngemva kwalokho, umphristi uzokuhlalisa umuntu loyo ayedwa amalanga alikhomba.
34 “Ngelanga lekhomba umphristi uzokuhlola isilondeso godu, nangabe ukugula okuvela esikhumbeni sehloko nokugula okuvela eendevini akukasabalali esikhumbeni begodu akubonakali kungenelele khulu esikhumbeni, umphristi uzokuthi umuntu loyo uhlwengile begodu umuntu loyo kufuze ahlanze izambatho zakhe, uzokuba ngohlwengileko.
35 Kodwana nangabe isilonda sisabalala esikhumbeni sakhe ngemva kokuhlanjululwa,
36 umphristi uzomhlola, nangabe isilonda sisabalele esikhumbeni, umphristi akatlhogi ukuqala uboya obutjheli; umuntu loyo usilaphele.
37 Lokha nakahlolwako kufunyanwe bona isilonda asikasabalali begodu uboya obunzima bukhulile kiso, isilonda sipholile. Kutjho ukuthi uhlwengile, umphristi uzokuthi kuye uhlwengile.+
38 “Nangabe indoda namkha umfazi uba namabala esikhumbeni begodu amabala lawo amhlophe,
39 umphristi uzowahlola.+ Nangabe amabala asesikhumbeni amhlophe, sibabo esinganangozi esiqubuke esikhumbeni. Umuntu loyo uhlwengile.
40 “Nange indoda iqothuka iinhluthu ibe nepandla, ihlwengile.
41 Nangabe indoda iqothuka iinhluthu kusukela ngaphambili ehlokwayo ibe nepandla, indoda leyo ihlwengile.
42 Nangabe kuvela isilonda esibomvu nokumhlophe epandlayo namkha esiphongweni sayo, lobo bulepheru obuqubuke ehlokwayo namkha esiphongweni sayo.
43 Umphristi uzomhlola, nangabe ukuvuvuka kwesilonda esibomvana nokumhlotjhana esiphezu kwepandlayo namkha esiphongweni sayo sifana nobulepheru obusesikhumbeni sayo,
44 inobulepheru. Isilaphele begodu umphristi kufuze athi kiyo isilaphele ngebanga lokugula okusehlokwayo.
45 Malungana nomuntu onobulepheru, izambatho zakhe kufuze zidatjulwe neenhluthu zakhe kufuze zingakanywa, kufuze azivale umlomo ngetjhila begodu arhuwelele athi, ‘Ngisilaphele, ngisilaphele!’
46 Uzokuba ngosilapheleko bekaphole. Ngebanga lokuthi usilaphele kufuze ahlale yedwa ngaphandle kwekampa.+
47 “Nangabe isambatho sisilaphazwa bulepheru, kungaba sisambatho sewulu namkha selineni,
48 kungaba ziintambo ezitjhinga phasi naphezulu namkha iintambo ezivundlako zetjhila lelineni, namkha zewulu, isikhumba namkha nanyana yini eyenziwe ngaso,
49 nange ibala lokugula elitjheli nokuhlaza kotjani namkha elibomvu, lisilaphaza isambatho, isikhumba, iintambo ezitjhinga phasi naphezulu, iintambo ezivundlako namkha nanyana yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba isilaphazwe bulepheru, kufuze iyokutjengiswa umphristi.
50 Umphristi uzokuhlola izinto ezisilaphazwe kugulokho begodu uzozihlalisa zodwa amalanga alikhomba.+
51 Ngelanga lekhomba nakayokuhlola izintwezo afumane ubulepheru busabalele esambathweni, entanjeni etjhinga phasi naphezulu, entanjeni evundlako namkha esikhumbeni (esisetjenziselwa nanyana yini), ukugulokho bulepheru obuthelelanako begodu into leyo isilaphele.+
52 Kufuze atjhise isambathweso namkha intambo etjhinga phasi naphezulu, intambo evundlako ewulwini namkha elinenini, nananyana yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba, lapha ukugulokhu okuvele khona ngombana bulepheru obuthelelanako. Kufuze itjhiswe ngomlilo.
53 “Lokha umphristi nakazihlolako afumana ukugula kungakasabalali esambathweni, entambeni etjhinga phasi naphezulu, entambeni evundlako namkha kinanyana yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba,
54 umphristi uzokuyala bona kuhlanzwe into ebeyisilaphele, ngemva kwalokho uzoyibeka yodwa amalanga alikhomba godu.
55 Umphristi uzokuhlolisisa into esilapheleko ngemva kobana ihlanzisisiwe. Nangabe ukusilaphala kusesekhona ngitjho nanyana ukugula kungakasabalali, isilaphele. Kufuze uyitjhise ngomlilo ngombana idleke ngaphakathi namkha ngaphandle.
56 “Umphristi uzoyihlolisisa nakabona ukuthi ukusilaphala kusukile ngemva kobana ihlanzisisiwe, uzokurathula ingcenye ebeyisilaphele yesambatho namkha yesikhumba namkha yentambo etjhinga phasi naphezulu namkha yentambo evundlileko.
57 Nangabe kubonakala kusesekhona engcenyeni enye yesambatho namkha entambeni etjhinga phasi naphezulu namkha entambeni evundlako namkha kinanyana yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba, kuyasabalala, kufuze utjhise nanyana yini esilapheleko.+
58 Kodwana nangabe ukusilaphala kuyasuka esambathweni namkha entambeni etjhinga phasi naphezulu namkha entambeni evundlako namkha kinanyana yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba oyihlanzako, kufuze ihlanzwe kwesibili, izokuhlwengeka.
59 “Lo mthetho omalungana nokugula kobulepheru besambatho sewulu namkha selineni namkha sentambo etjhinga phasi naphezulu namkha intambo evundlako namkha nanyana yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba, ukwenzela bona umphristi azi ukuthi ngikuphi okuhlwengileko nokungakahlwengi.”
