Imithetho malunga nombandela wepasika
1Wathetha uYehova kuMoses entlango yaseSinayi, ngomnyaka wesibini wokuphuma kwabo ezweni laseYiputa, 2ngenyanga yokuqala, esithi, Oonyana bakaSirayeli mabayenze ipasika• ngexesha layo elimisiweyo. 3Noyenza ngomhla weshumi elinesiné kuloo nyanga, lakutshona ilanga, ngexesha layo elimisiweyo. Noyenza ngokwemimiselo yayo yonke, nangokwamasiko ayo onke.
4Wathetha ke uMoses koonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba bayenze ipasika. 5Bayenza ke ipasika ngenyanga yokuqala, ngomhla weshumi elinesiné, lakutshona ilanga, entlango yaseSinayi. Njengako konke uYehova abemwisele umthetho uMoses, benjenjalo oonyana bakaSirayeli.
6Ke kwakukho amadoda awayethe azenza iinqambi ngomntu ofileyo, akaba nako ukuyenza ipasika ngaloo mhla. Asondela phambi koMoses naphambi koAron ngaloo mhla; 7athi loo madoda kuye, Siziinqambi ngomntu ofileyo; sivalelwa ngani na, ukuba singasondezi umsondezo kaYehova ngexesha lawo elimisiweyo phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli? 8Wathi uMoses kuwo, Yimani, khe ndive ukuba uYehova wowisa mtetho mni na ngani.
9Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi, 10Thetha koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthi, Umntu ngomntu, xa athe wayinqambi ngofileyo, mhlawumbi waseluhambeni ehambele kude, engowakuni, nokuba ngowezizukulwana zenu, woyenza ipasika kuYehova. 11Boyenza ngenyanga yesibini, ngomhla weshumi elinesiné, lakutshona ilanga, kunye nezonka ezingenagwele bayidle inemithana ekrakra; 12bangasalisi nto kuyo kude kuse, bangaphuli thambo layo. Boyenza ngokommiselo wonke wepasika. 13Ke umntu lowo uhlambulukileyo yena, ungekhona eluhambeni, ethe wayeka ukuyenza ipasika, loo mphefumlo wonqanyulwa, ungabikho ebantwini bakowawo; ngokuba akawusondezanga umsondezo kaYehova ngexesha lawo elimisiweyo. Loo mntu wosithwala isono sakhe. 14Umphambukeli, xa athe waphambukela kuni, woyenza ipasika kuYehova; ngokommiselo wepasika nangokwesiko layo woyenjenjalo; ummiselo woba mnye kuni, nakumphambukeli, nakozalelwe kulo ilizwe.
Ilifu lilawula ukufuduswa kweminquba
15Ngomhla wokumiswa komnquba, ilifu lawusibekela umnquba wentente yesingqino; ngokuhlwa lanjengembonakalo yomlilo phezu komnquba, kwada kwasa. 16Kwahlala kunjalo; ilifu lawusibekela emini, laba yimbonakalo yomlilo ebusuku. 17Kube kusithi, lingànyuka ilifu lisuke phezu kwentente, emveni koko banduluke oonyana bakaSirayeli; kuthi endaweni elithe zinzi kuyo ilifu, bamise iintente khona oonyana bakaSirayeli. 18Ngokomlomo kaYehova banduluka oonyana bakaSirayeli, ngokomlomo kaYehova bamisa; yonke imihla elathi zinzi ngayo ilifu phezu komnquba, bamisa. 19-20Lakolula ilifu imihla emininzi lihleli phezu komnquba, basigcina isigxina sikaYehova oonyana bakaSirayeli, àbanduluka. Kwathi, lakubakho ilifu phezu komnquba nokuba yimihla embalwa, basigcina isigxina sikaYehova, àbanduluka. Ngokomlomo kaYehova bamisa, ngokomlomo kaYehova banduluka. 21Kube kusithi lakubakho ilifu ngokuhlwa kude kuse, lakunyuswa ke ilifu kwakusa, banduluke; nokuba bekusemini, nokuba bekusebusuku, lakunyuswa ilifu, bánduluka. 22Nokuba yimihla emibini, nokuba yinyanga, nokuba yimihla ethile ukolula kwelifu phezu komnquba, ukuthi zinzi kwalo phezu kwawo, bamisa oonyana bakaSirayeli, àbanduluka; ekunyukeni kwalo ke banduluka. 23Ngokomlomo kaYehova bamisa, ngokomlomo kaYehova banduluka. Basigcina isigxina sikaYehova ngokomlomo kaYehova, ngesandla sikaMoses.
