Levitikus 24:1-23
24 Wahlabela mgama uYehova ethetha kuMoses, esithi:
2 “Bayalele oonyana bakaSirayeli ukuba bakuzisele ioli esulungekileyo yeminquma, engqushiweyo, yesikhanyiso,+ ukuze sihlale sikhanyisile rhoqo isibane.+
3 Ngaphandle kwekhuselo leSingqino ententeni yokuhlangana wosimisa ngolungelelwano rhoqo uAron phambi koYehova kususela ngokuhlwa kude kube sekuseni. Yoba ngummiselo wenu lowo ezizukulwaneni zenu kuse kwixesha elingenammiselo.
4 Wozimisa ngolungelelwano rhoqo izibane+ esiphathweni sezibane+ segolide esulungekileyo phambi koYehova.+
5 “Uze uthabathe umgubo ocolekileyo, uwubhake ube ngamaqebengwana abusazinge alishumi elinesibini. Iqebengwana ngalinye elibusazinge libe zizahlulo ezibini zesishumi se-efa.
6 Uze uwabeke abe yimikrozo emibini, abe mathandathu mkrozweni mnye,+ etafileni yegolide esulungekileyo ephambi koYehova.+
7 Yaye umele ubeke intlaka yokuqhumisa phezu komkrozo ngamnye, ibe sisonka sesikhumbuzo eso,+ umnikelo wasemlilweni kuYehova.
8 Wohlala esimisa rhoqo ngolungelelwano phambi koYehova ngemihla yonke yesabatha.+ Yoba ngumnqophiso wexesha elingenammiselo lowo koonyana bakaSirayeli.
9 Soba sesika-Aron noonyana bakhe,+ yaye bamele basidlele endaweni engcwele,+ kuba siyeyona nto ingcwele kuye evela emnikelweni wasemlilweni kaYehova, njengommiselo wexesha elingenammiselo.”
10 Ke kaloku unyana womfazi ongumSirayeli, obengunyana wendoda engumYiputa,+ waya phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli, wasuka lo nyana womSirayelikazi wasukuzana+ enkampini kunye nendoda engumSirayeli.
11 Unyana lowo womfazi ongumSirayeli wathetha kakubi ngalo iGama+ waza waliqalekisa.+ Bamzisa ke kuMoses.+ Kwenzeka ke ukuba, libe igama likanina lalinguShelomiti, intombi kaDibri wesizwe sakwaDan.
12 Bamfaka eluvalelweni+ ade uYehova avakalise ngokuqondakalayo into emayenziwe ngaye.+
13 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi:
14 “Mkhupheleni ngaphandle kwenkampu lowo uqalekisileyo;+ yaye bonke abo bamvileyo bamele babeke izandla zabo+ entlokweni yakhe, ize imgibisele ngamatye indibano iphela.+
15 Uze uthethe koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthi, ‘Ukuba uthe nawuphi na umntu waqalekisa uThixo wakhe, wophendula ngesono sakhe.
16 Ngoko othetha kakubi ngegama likaYehova makabulawe afe.+ Indibano iphela yomgibisela ngamatye. Umphambukeli kwanoyinzalelwane yenu othe wathetha kakubi ngalo iGama makabulawe.+
17 “‘Ukuba umntu uthe wabetha waza wabulala nawuphi na umphefumlo ongumntu, makabulawe afe.+
18 Obetha abulale umphefumlo wesilwanyana, ufanele awubuyekeze, umphefumlo ngomphefumlo.+
19 Umntu xa athe wasenzakalisa isinxulumani sakhe, kanye njengoko enze ngako yena, makwenziwe njalo nakuye.+
20 Ukwaphulwa ngokwaphulwa, iliso ngeliso, izinyo ngezinyo; njengoko amenzakalisileyo umntu, makwenziwe njalo nakuye.+
21 Obethe isilo wasibulala+ ufanele asibuyekeze,+ kodwa yena obethe umntu waza wambulala ufanele abulawe.+
22 “‘Masibe sinye isigwebo senu. Esomphambukeli masifane nesalowo uyinzalelwane,+ ngokuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu.’”+
23 Emva koko uMoses wathetha koonyana bakaSirayeli, bamkhuphela ngaphandle kwenkampu lowo uqalekisileyo, baza bamgibisela ngamatye.+ Ngako oko benza oonyana bakaSirayeli kanye njengoko uYehova wamyalelayo uMoses.
