Inkhomo lebovu nemanti ekuhlambulula (1-22)
19 Jehova waphindze wakhuluma naMosi na-Aroni, watsi:
2 “Nangu umtsetfo Jehova lawushito: ‘Tjela ema-Israyeli kutsi aboletsa inkhomo lebovu lephile kahle, lete sici+ nalengakaze iboshelwe ejokeni.
3 Lenkhomo niboyinika Eliyezeri umphristi. Yena utayikhiphela ngephandle kwalendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo futsi ihlatjwe embikwakhe.
4 Ngemuva kwaloko, Eliyezeri umphristi utawucobhota umunwe wakhe kulenye yengati yayo, ayintfontsise tikhatsi letingu-7 ayibhekise ngasembikwelithende lekuhlangana.+
5 Lenkhomo itawubese ishiswa embikwakhe. Sikhumba sayo, inyama, ingati kanye nebulongo bayo nako kutawushiswa.+
6 Umphristi utawutsatsa sigodvo semsedari, ihisophu*+ kanye nendvwangu lebovu akujike kulomlilo lokushiselwa kuwo lenkhomo.
7 Utawubese uwasha tingubo takhe futsi ageze ngemanti, ngemuva kwaloko sekangeta endzaweni lokuhlalwa kuyo. Kodvwa utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.
8 “‘Lomuntfu loshise lenkhomo utawuwasha tingubo takhe ngemanti futsi naye ageze ngemanti. Utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.
9 “‘Umuntfu lohlantekile kufanele abutse umlotsa walenkhomo+ ayewucitsa endzaweni lehlantekile, ngephandle kwendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo. Ema-Israyeli kufanele awugcine lomlotsa kuze awusebentise nakenta emanti ekuhlambulula.+ Lenkhomo ingumnikelo wesono.
10 Lomuntfu lotawubutsa umlotsa walenkhomo utawuwasha tingubo takhe, futsi abe ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.
“‘Lona kutawuba ngumtsetfo lohlala njalo lotawulandzelwa ngema-Israyeli nebantfu bekuhamba labahlala emkhatsini wawo.+
11 Nobe ngubani lotawutsintsa umuntfu lofile* utawuba ngulongcolile emalanga langu-7.+
12 Ngelilanga lesitsatfu, loyo muntfu kufanele atihlambulule ngalamanti, futsi ngelilanga lesi-7 utawubese uba ngulohlantekile. Kodvwa nakangeke atihlambulule ngelilanga lesitsatfu, angeke abe ngulohlantekile ngelilanga lesi-7.
13 Nobe ngubani lotsintsa sidvumbu sanobe ngumuphi umuntfu lofile* futsi angatihlambululi, usuke angcolise lithende laJehova lekukhontela,+ ngako kufanele abulawe.+ Utawuchubeka angcolile ngobe akakafafatwa ngalamanti ekuhlambulula.+ Kungcola kwakhe kutawube kusesekuye.
14 “‘Nangu umtsetfo losebenta nangabe umuntfu afela ethendeni: Wonkhe umuntfu lotawungena kulelithende, nawo wonkhe umuntfu lobekangekhatsi kulo utawuba ngulongcolile emalanga langu-7.
15 Tonkhe titja letivulekile letite timbonyo letiboshelwe kuto titawuba nguletingcolile.+
16 Wonkhe umuntfu losesigangeni lotawutsintsa umuntfu lobulewe ngenkemba, nobe sidvumbu nobe ematsambo emuntfu nobe lithuna utawuba ngulongcolile emalanga langu-7.+
17 Lomuntfu longcolile kufanele atsatselwe umlotsa walenkhomo leshisiwe lebeyingumnikelo wesono, bese kutselwa emanti lakhiwe esiyalwini kulomlotsa losesitjeni.
18 Ngemuva kwaloko umuntfu lohlantekile+ utawutsatsa ihisophu+ ayenye kulamanti bese uwafafata kulelithende, kuto tonkhe titja letikulo, kubo bonkhe bantfu lebebakulelithende, nakuloyo lotsintse ematsambo nobe umuntfu lobulewe nobe sidvumbu nobe lithuna.
19 Ngelilanga lesitsatfu nangelilanga lesi-7, lomuntfu lohlantekile utawufafata lona longakahlanteki ngalamanti. Ngelilanga lesi-7,+ utamhlambulula esonweni. Ngemuva kwaloko lomuntfu longakahlanteki kufanele awashe tingubo takhe, ageze nangemanti, futsi kusihlwa utawuba ngulohlantekile.
20 “‘Kodvwa nangabe umuntfu longakahlanteki angatihlambululi, kufanele abulawe+ ngobe ungcolise indzawo lengcwele yaJehova. Utawuba ngulongcolile ngobe akakafafatwa ngemanti ekuhlambulula.
21 “‘Lona ngumtsetfo lohlala njalo lokufanele bawulandzele: Umuntfu lotawufafata lomunye ngemanti ekuhlambulula+ abowasha tingubo takhe, naloyo lotsintsa lamanti ekuhlambulula utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.
22 Nobe yini letawutsintfwa ngumuntfu longcolile itawuba ngulengcolile, naloyo lotsintsa leyontfo naye utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.’”+
