Levitikusi 24:1-23
24 UJehova waraga wakhuluma noMosi wathi:
2 “Tjela ama-Israyeli akulethele amafutha we-oliva ahlwengileko weembani, ukwenzela bona iimbani zihlale zikhanya.+
3 Ngaphandle kwerharideni lobuFakazi etendeni lokuhlangana, u-Aroni kufuze ahlele bona iimbani zikhanyiswe kusukela ntambama bekube sekuseni phambi kwakaJehova qobe. Lo mthetho ozokuhlala usebenza kini kizo zoke iinzukulwana zenu.
4 Qobe kufuze atlhogomele iimbani eziselithini lesibani+ elenziwe ngegolide elihlwengileko phambi kwaJehova.
5 “Uzokuthatha iflowuru esefiweko, ubhage uburotho oboli-12 oburondo obuvuleke phakathi. Uburotho ngabunye uzobubhaga ngamakhilogremu amabili weflowuru.
6 Uzobubeka bube masedi amabili, kwenye isedi kube namalarha asithandathu+ nakwenye kube namalarha asithandathu phezu kwetafula eyenziwe ngegolide elihlwengileko phambi kwakaJehova.+
7 Kufuze uthele ipepho emhlophe ehlwengileko esedini ngayinye, uzokutjhisela uJehova+ ipepho emhlophe bona akhumbule uburotho.
8 Ilanga elinye nelinye leSabatha, kufuze abeke uburotho obunjalo qobe phambi kwakaJehova.+ Lesi sivumelwano esizokuhlala sisebenza ema-Israyelini.
9 Sizokuba ngesaka-Aroni namadodanakhe+ begodu bazosidlela endaweni ecwengileko+ ngombana singokuthileko okucwengeke khulu okubuya eminikelweni kaJehova eyenziwe ngomlilo, lo mthetho ozokuhlala usebenza.”
10 Nje-ke hlangana nama-Israyeli bekunendodana yomfazi omIsrayeli kodwana uyise amGibhide,+ kwaba nepi phakathi kwayo nendoda emIsrayeli ekampeni.
11 Indodana yomfazi omIsrayeli yathoma ukudelela igama lakaZimu nokuliqalekisa.+ Nje-ke bayiletha kuMosi.+ Igama lakanina bekunguTjhelomithi indodakazi kaDibhiri wekoro yakwaDani.
12 Bayivalela bekwaba kulapho uJehova abazisa khona isiqunto sakhe.+
13 Nje-ke uJehova wathi kuMosi:
14 “Khuphelani ngaphandle kwekampa umuntu oqalekise igama lakaZimu loyo, boke abamzwileko kufuze babeke izandla zabo phezu kwehlokwakhe begodu ihlangano yoke imkghadlhe ngamatje.+
15 Kufuze uthi kuma-Israyeli, ‘Nanyana ngubani oqalekisa uZimakhe uzoziphendulela ngesono sakhe.
16 Umuntu oqalekisa igama lakaJehova kufuze abulawe.+ Ihlangano yoke kufuze imkghadlhe ngamatje. Nanyana ngubani oqalekisa igama lakaZimu, kungaba mumuntu ovela kwenye inarha namkha umIsrayeli kufuze abulawe.
17 “‘Nange umuntu abulala omunye umuntu, kufuze abulawe.+
18 Nangabe umuntu ubetha bekabulale isilwana esifuywako, kufuze ahlawule, ukuphila ngokuphila.
19 Nange umuntu alimaza omunye umuntu, lokho akwenzileko naye kufuze enziwe khona.+
20 Nakaphule omunye, naye kufuze aphulwe, ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo, umuntu kufuze ajeziswe ngokwalokho akwenze komunye.+
21 Umuntu obetha isilwana bekasibulale kufuze ahlawule+ kodwana umuntu obetha omunye bekambulale naye kufuze abulawe.+
22 “‘Umthetho munye uzokusebenza kini, kungaba mIsrayeli namkha umuntu ovela kwenye inarha+ ngombana nginguJehova uZimenu.’”
23 Nje-ke uMosi wakhuluma nama-Israyeli, bamthatha umuntu oqalekise igama lakaZimu, bamkhuphela ngaphandle kwekampa, bamkghadlha ngamatje.+ Ama-Israyeli enza njengombana uJehova ayale uMosi.
