Nje-ke umphristi uzakumemezela bona usilaphele. Loyo-ke akahlukaniswe nabantu kwesikhatjhana ngombana usilaphele. 12Kodwana nangabe isifo sisabalele nesikhumba ukufika lapha sele sembese umzimba woke womuntu, ihloko neenyawo okutjho zoke izitho ezibonakala kumphristi, 13umphristi uzabese uyamhlola. Nangabe isikhumba sakhe simhlope, uzakumemezela bona uhlambulukile. Nanyana isifo besele sembese woke umzimba, ungohlambulukileko. 14Kodwana nakube masinyana uba nesilonda, khona-ke usilaphele. 15Umphristi akahlole isilondeso bese amemezele bona umuntu loyo usilaphele.

Nangabe isilonda siphenduke saba mhlophe, umphristi uzakumemezela bona uhlambulukile; yeke mbala uhlambulukile.
18“Nangabe umuntu unethumba elipholako esikhumbeni sakhe 19bese kuthi esikhundleni salo kube nokuvuvuka okubuthako namkha ibala elibovu elingakhanyeliko, naloyo kufuze azibonakalise phambi komphristi. 20Umphristi akamhlole. Nangabe indawo ethintekileko ibonakala bona sele ingenelele esikhumbeni noboya buphenduke baba mhlophe, umphristi uzakumemezela bona usilaphele. Kulikhwekhwe eliqubuke esilondeni. 21Kodwana nangabe umphristi uhlola indawo ethintekileko afunyanise bona ayikangeneleli esikhumbeni nokobana ayikakhanyeli kuhle begodu uboya abukaphenduki baba mhlophe, khona-ke umphristi akamkhuphe hlangana nabantu amalanga alikhomba. 22Nangabe ibala lisabalala nesikhumba, umphristi uzakumemezela bona usilaphele. Likhwekhwe-ke lelo. 23Kodwana nakube ibala lihlala linjalo alisabalali, kusibazi sethumba kwaphela. Umphristi uzakumemezela bona umuntu loyo uhlambulukile.
24“Nakube umuntu unenceba lokutjha esikhumbeni bese isilonda sakhona siba nebala elimthuthu namkha elimhlophe 25umphristi akalihlole ibalelo. Nakube uboya bebala buphenduke baba mhlophe begodu ibala libonakala lingenelele esikhumbeni, lelo likhwekhwe elivele encebeni lokutjha. Yeke umphristi uzakumemezela bona usilaphele. Lokho sisifo sekhwekhwe. 26Kodwana nakube umphristi uyalihlola bese afunyanise bona uboya bebala abusi mhlophe nokobana alikangeneleli esikhumbeni begodu alikhanyeli kuhle, akamkhuphe hlangana nabantu amalanga alikhomba. 27Kuzakuthi ngelanga lekhomba umphristi amhlole godu.

Umphristi uzakumemezela bona uhlambulukile ngombana lokho sibazi sokutjha.
29“Nakube indoda namkha umfazi unesifo ehloko nanyana esilevini, 30umphristi akahlole isifeso. Nakube sibonakala singenelele esikhumbeni nokobana uboya obukiso bumthubi ngombala begodu buthambile, umphristi uzakumemezela bona umuntu loyo usilaphele. Lobo kubuthana bembuzana okulikhwekhwe lehloko namkha lesilevu. 31Nakube umphristi uhlola ubuthana bembuzanobo, bekubonakale bona akukangeneleli esikhumbeni nokobana akunaboya obunzima tshu phezu kwabo, khona umphristi uzakhupha umuntu onesifo hlangana nabantu amalanga alikhomba. 32Ngelanga lekhomba umphristi uzakuhlola isifo godu. Nakube ubuthana bembuzana abukasabalali begodu abukangeneleli esikhumbeni nokobana akunaboya obumthubi, 33umuntu loyo uzakurhunwa, kodwana lapha kunobuthana bembuzana khona angakurhuni. Umphristi uzamkhupha hlangana nabantu amanye amalanga alikhomba. 34Ngelanga lekhomba umphristi akahlole ubuthana bembuzana godu. Nakube ubuthana bembuzana abukasabalali begodu abukangeneleli esikhumbeni, khona-ke umphristi uzakumemezela bona uhlambulukile. Yeke umuntu loyo uzakuhlanza izambatho zakhe abe ngohlambulukileko. 35Kodwana nakube ubuthana bembuzana busabalala nesikhumba emva kokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, 36umphristi uzamhlola godu. Nakube ubuthana bembuzana busabalele nesikhumba, akudingeki bona umphristi ahlole uboya obumthubi. Nanjalo ungosilapheleko. 37Kodwana nangabe ekuboneni komphristi ubuthana bembuzana bujame ndawonye noboya obunzima bumilile, khona-ke ubuthana bembuzana bupholile nomuntu uhlambulukile. Yeke umphristi uzakumemezela bona uhlambulukile.
38“Nakube indoda nanyana umfazi unamabala amhlophe esikhumbeni, 39umphristi akamhlole. Nangabe amabala asesikhumbeni amthuthu, lobo bumhlophe besikhumba obujayelekileko, umuntu loyo uhlambulukile.
40“Nakube indoda ineenhluthu eziqothukileko ehlokwayo yaba liphandla, ihlambulukile. 41Godu nakube indoda iqothuke iinhluthu ukusuka epandlayo, ihlambulukile ngombana seliphandla nje. 42Kodwana nakube kunebala elibovu nokumhlophe phezu kwephandla nepandla, lokho kungatjho bona likhwekhwe elisabalalako. 43Yeke umphristi kufuze amhlole.
