1Ungathi nawubona ikomo namkha imvu kamfowenu ilahleka bese uyayilisa. Irage uyibuyisele kumfowenu. 2Nakube akasiseduze nawe, namkha nakube awumazi, iragele kwakho, ihlale kwakho kufikela lapha umfowenu afuna ukutholatholiswa yona bese uyamtholatholisa-ke. 3Wenze soneso nangodumbanakhe, ngesambatho ngitjho nangananyana yini yomfowenu emlahlekeleko nawuyitholileko, ungagodli isizo lakho kuye. 4Ungathi nawubona udumbana namkha ikomo kamfowenu iphareme endleleni uyilise. Msize kobana niyivuse ijame godu.
5Umfazi angavunuli litho eliphathelene namadoda, nendoda ingembathi iimvunulo zabafazi ngombana nanyana ngubani owenza njalo usinyenyiso kuSomnini uZimenu.
6Nakwenzeka uzithele phezu kwesihlakana senyoni, kinamkha ngimuphi umuthi namkha equlwanini, sinamadzinyani namkha sinamaqanda khibe unina wakhona uhlezi phezu kwawo, ungathatha amaqanda namkha amadzinyani kodwana ulise unina. 7Tjhaphulula unina akhambe, kodwana abantwana ungazithathela bona ukuze kukukhambele kuhle nokobana uphile isikhathi eside.
8Nawakha ikumba etja, yakha nesirhodlwana seengodo phezu kwephahla layo ukuze ungaziletheli umlandu weengazi nakwenzeka bona kube nomuntu othi asephahlenapho amadlheke phasi.
9Ungatjali umhlobo omunye wembewu esidiribeni sakho. Nakungasinjalo zoke iinthelo zakhona zizakuba ngezendawo ecwengileko: isivuno ositjalileko kanye neenthelo zesidiribe. 10Ungalimi ngokubophela ikomo nodumbana ndawonye. 11Ungembathi izambatho ezivangeneko, okuyiwulu nelineni ndawonye.
12Zenzeleni amatjharha emiphethweni yengubo enizembesa ngayo.
13Kungenzeka umuntu athathe umfazi, amngene bese angasathokozi ngaye 14amsolele ngamanga, amlethele ibizo elimbi ngokuthi: “Ngithethe umfazi lo, ngathi nangimtjhidelako, ngafunyana bonyana akasese litlawu.”
15Nakwenzeka njalo yeke usomntazana nonomntazana bazakuthatha ubufakazi bobutlawu bakhe babuse kubaphathi bedorobho esangweni. 16Usomntazana uzafese athi kubaphathi: “Nginikele umrhali lo indodakazami bona ibe mkayo, nje-ke nangu akasathokozi ngayo. 17Usolele indodakazami ngamanga batjho uyifumene ingasese litlawu. Kodwana nginobufakazi napu obukhomba ubutlawu bendodakazami.”
Bazakwendlala ingubo leyo phambi kwabaphathi bedorobho. 18Abaphathi bedorobho bazakuthatha indoda leyo bayirithe 19bese bayihlawulise isiliva elikhilogremu nesiqunjwana bayinikele usomntazana ngombana ilethe ibizo elimbi phezu kwetlawu lakwa-Israyeli. Umntazana loyo uzakuba mkayo begodu angeze isabe isamtlhala ipilwayo yoke.
20Kodwana nakube indaba leyo iliqiniso, kobana azange kufunyanwe ubufakazi bobutlawu emntazanenapho, 21khona-ke bazakuletha umntazana loyo esangweni lomuzi kayise bese amadoda wedorobho amkhande ngamatje abe afe ngombana wenze ubuhlola kwa-Israyeli ngokufeba emzini kayise. Ngalokho nizakuthanyela ubumbi phakathi kwenu.
22Nakube indoda ibanjwa ilele nomfazi wenye indoda, ababulawe bobabili njalo. Ngalokho nizakuthanyela ubumbi phakathi kwenu.
23Nakube kunetlawu eliboniweko bese lihlangane nendoda ngedorobheni, indoda leyo ilale nalo, 24baletheni bobabili njalo esangweni ledorobho, nibakhande ngamatje bebafe ngombana itlawelo azange lirhuwelele libawe isizo phezu kobana belingedorobheni. Indoda leyo yona irhubutjhe umfazi womunye umuntu. Ngalokho nizakuthanyela ubumbi phakathi kwenu.
25Kodwana nakube kusemmangweni, indoda ihlangane nomntazana oboniweko bese iyamgagadlhela, yindoda leyo kwaphela ezakubulawa. 26Nakulitlawelo lona ningalenzi litho. Itlawu alinamlandu wesibetho sokufa. Umlandu onje ufana nowalokha umuntu nasahlele bewabulala omunye umuntu 27ngombana uliragelele emmangweni; nanyana itlawu eliboniwekwelo lirhuwelele libawa isizo azange kube nomuntu olisizako.
28Nakube indoda ihlangana netlawu elingakabonwa, ilibambe ilale nalo bese kuyaziwa, 29indoda leyo izakunikela usomntazana loyo isiliva engaphezu kwesiquntu sekhilogremu bese umntazana loyo uba mkayo ngombana imrhubutjhile. Ingabe isamtlhala epilwenayo yoke.
30Indoda ingathathi umfazi kayise namkha yambule ubuze bomfazi kayise.
