Ukuhlanjululwa komuntu ogade anekhwekhwe
1USomnini wakhuluma noMosi wathi: 2“Naku umthetho womuntu ogade anekhwekhwe lokha nahlanjululwako: Akalethwe kumphristi 3ozakuphumela ngaphandle kwekampa bona ayomhlola. Nakube ikhwekhwe lipholile, 4umphristi uzakuyala bona ozokuhlanjululwa alethelwe iinyoni ezimbili ezihlambulukileko, isigojwana somsedari, nomtiya otlerebede nehlukuzu lehisophi. 5Umphristi uzakuyala bona kukhiwe amanzi agelezako ngomjeka bese kuhlatjelwa enye yeenyoni ngehla kwawo. 6Bese uthatha enye inyoni ephilako, isigojwana somsedari, umtiya otlerebede nehlukuzu lehisophi akutlubhuze eengazini zenyoni ehlatjelwe ngehla komjeka onamanzi akhiweko. 7Akafafaze umuntu ozokuhlanjululwa loyo kalikhomba, amemezele bona uhlambulukile. Nje-ke akalise inyoni ephilako iphaphele emmangweni.
8“Ohlanjululwako kuzakufanela ahlanze izambatho zakhe, arhune iinhluthu noboya boke emzimbeni bese uyaduda. Yeke uzakuba ngohlambulukileko. Emva kwalokho uzakubuyela ngekampeni nokho ahlale ngaphandle kwetende lakhe amalanga alikhomba. 9Ngelanga lekhomba akagude zoke iinhluthu ehloko, esilevini namatjhiya. Iye, akasuse boke uboya emzimbeni. Nje-ke uzakuhlanza izambatho zakhe bese uyaduda. Yeke uzakuba ngohlambulukileko.
10“Ngelanga lobunane ohlanjululwako loyo kufuze alethe amaqamanyana amabili nemvana esikazi enomnyaka, zoke zibe msulwa. Akalethe namathungana amathathu weflowuru esefiweko edutjwe ngamafutha we-oliva kanye nekwana yamafutha we-oliva. 11Umphristi omhlambululako uzamletha kanye nezintwezo phambi kwakaSomnini emnyango wetende lokuhlanganela. 12Yeke umphristi uzakuthatha linye lamaqamanyana lawo alihlabe libe mhlabelo wehlawulo kanye nekwana yamafutha bese uziphakamisa njengomnikelo osibiko kuSomnini. 13Iqamanyanelo alihlatjelwe endaweni ecwengileko lapha kuhlatjelwa khona umhlabelo wehlambululo nomhlabelo wokutjhiswa. Umhlabelo wehlawulo njengomhlabelo wehlambululo ungowomphristi, ungocwenge khulu. 14Umphristi uzakuthatha ingcenye yeengazi zomhlabelo wehlawulo azininde endlebeni yangesidleni, kuthubha wangesidleni naphezu kothubhakghuru wangesidleni emuntwini ohlanjululwako. 15Yeke uzakuthatha ikwana yamafutha we-oliva awathele ngentendeni yesandla sakhe sesincele. 16Nje-ke atlubhuze ngokhombabantu wangesidleni emafutheni angentendenakhe yangesinceleni, afafaze amafutha lawo kalikhomba phambi kwakaSomnini. 17Amanye amafutha asentendeni yomphristi uzawaninda phezu kweengazi zomhlabelo wehlawulo endlebeni yangesidleni, kuthubha wangesidleni naphezu kothubhakghuru wangesidleni emuntwini ohlanjululwako. 18Amafutha aseleko entendeni yomphristi uzawatjhatjha ehloko yomuntu loyo. Yeke umphristi uzakwenzela umuntu loyo itethelelo phambi kwakaSomnini. 19Uzakunikela umhlabelo wehlambululo ukwenzela itethelelo yaloyo okufuze ahlanjululwe ekusilaphaleni kwakhe. Emva kwalokho ahlabe umhlabelo wokutjhiswa. 20Umphristi uzakutjhisa umhlabelo wokutjhiswa noweenthoro phezu kwe-aldari. Ngendlela leyo umphristi uzamenzela itethelelo; yeke umuntu loyo uzakuba ngohlambulukileko.
21“Kodwana nakube umuntu uchakile begodu akanamandla wokwenza koke lokhu, uzakuthatha iqamanyana elilodwa libe mhlabelo wehlawulo osibiko kuSomnini ukumenzela itethelelo. Akalethe umnikelo weenthoro okulithungana leflowuru esefiweko edutjwe ngamafutha we-oliva, ikwana yamafutha we-oliva, 22amazuba amabili wommango namkha amazutjana amabili wekhaya kube ngilokho angakukghona. Elinye libe ngelomhlabelo wehlambululo bese elinye liba ngelomhlabelo wokutjhiswa. 23Kufuze alethe lokho kumphristi ngelanga lobunane emnyango wetende lokuhlanganela phambi kwakaSomnini bona kube ngekokuhlanjululwa kwakhe. 24Umphristi uzakuthatha imvana yomhlabelo wehlawulo nekwana yamafutha we-oliva bese ukuphakamisa njengomnikelo osibiko kuSomnini. 25Uzakuhlaba imvana yomhlabelo wehlawulo, athathe ingcenye yeengazi zayo azininde endlebeni yangesidleni, kuthubha wangesidleni naphezu kothubhakghuru wangesidleni emuntwini ohlanjululwako. 26Godu umphristi uzakuthela amanye wamafutha ngentendeni yesandla sakhe sesincele 27bese ufafaza amafutha angentendenakhe yangesinceleni ngokhombabantu wangesidleni kalikhomba phambi kwakaSomnini. 28Amanye amafutha asentendeni yomphristi uzawaninda phezu kweengazi zomhlabelo wehlawulo endlebeni yangesidleni, kuthubha wangesidleni naphezu kothubhakghuru wangesidleni emuntwini ohlanjululwako. 29Amafutha aseleko entendeni yomphristi uzawatjhatjha ehloko yomuntu loyo. Yeke umphristi uzakwenzela umuntu loyo itethelelo phambi kwakaSomnini. 30Umphristi uzakwenza imihlabelo ngamazutjana, kube ngendlela umuntu loyo aphumelela ngayo ukunikela. 31Elinye libe ngelomhlabelo wehlambululo bese kuthi elinye libe ngelomhlabelo wokutjhiswa linikelwe kanye nomnikelo weenthoro. Ngendlela leyo umphristi uzakwenza itethelelo yomuntu ohlanjululwako loyo phambi kwakaSomnini.
32“Lowo mthetho womuntu onekhwekhwe, ozihlulekelako ukuletha imihlabelo yehlambululo ejayelekileko.”
Ukusilaphala kwendlu
33USomnini wakhuluma noMosi no-Aroni wathi: 34“Lokha nanifika enarheni yeKanana enganinikela yona bona ibe lilifa lenu bese ngibangela ukukghora endlini enye nenye enarhenenu, 35umninindlu kuzakufanela bona eze kumphristi azokubika athi, ‘Ngibona kwangasuthi kwamapha kungene umkhokha.’ 36Yeke umphristi uzakuyala bona kukhutjhwe koke okungendlini ngaphambi kokobana angene bona azoyihlola. Nakungasinjalo koke okungendlini kungahle kumenyezelwe bona kusilaphele. Nasele kukhutjhwe koke, umphristi uzakungena bona ahlole indlu. 37Nje-ke umphristi uzakuhlola umkhokha lowo. Nangabe ufunyana bona iboda linokukghora okuhlazana namkha okubovana okubonakala kungenelele ebodeni, 38umphristi uzakuphuma ngendlini ajame emnyango ngaphandle bese uvala indlu leyo amalanga alikhomba. 39Ngelanga lekhomba umphristi uzakubuya azokuhlola indlu. Nangabe ufunyana ukukghora kusabalele neboda lendlu, 40uzakuyala bonyana kukhutjhwe amatje anokukghora, aphoselwe ngaphandle komuzi ezaleni. 41Uzakwenza bona kurhwayiwe umpharo wendlu ngaphakathi, kuthi koke okuqeqebuliweko, kuthululelwe ngaphandle komuzi ezaleni. 42Kuzakuthathwa amanye amatje ajamiselele alahliweko bese usinda indlu leyo butjha ngehlabathi.
43“Nakube ukukghora kuyabuya ngendlinapho bekusabalale ngemva kokobana sele kususwe amatje, kwarhwaywa bekwasindwa, 44umphristi kufuze abuyele ayokuhlola godu. Nakubonakala bona isifo sisabalele nendlu godu, yeke lokho kukukghora okukhambeleleko. Indlu leyo isilaphele. 45Yeke ayibhuruzwe indlu leyo, kuthi yoke iququ okutjho amatje, iingodo nehlabathi ebekusindwe ngayo, kukhutjhelwe ngaphandle komuzi ezaleni. 46Loyo ozakungena ngendlini ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwayo uzakuba ngosilapheleko bekuhlwe; 47naloyo olala namkha adlele ngendlini leyo uzakuhlanza izambatho zakhe.
48“Kodwana nangabe umphristi uthi nangena ngendlini azoyihlola, afunyane bona ukukghora akukasabalali ngemva kokobana indlu besele isindiwe, uzakumemezela bona indlu leyo ihlambulukile okutjho bona ukukghora kusukile. 49Mayelana nokuhlanjululwa kwendlu leyo umniniyo uzaletha iinyoni ezimbili, isigojwana somsedari, umtiya otlerebede nehlukuzu lehisophi. 50Umphristi uzakuyala bona kukhiwe amanzi agelezako ngomjeka bese kuhlatjelwa enye yeenyoni ngehla kwawo. 51Godu akathathe isigojwana somsedari, ihlukuzu lehisophi nomtiya otlerebede kanye nenyoni ephilako bese utlubhuza izintwezo ngemanzini aneengazi zenyoni ehlatjiweko, afafaze indlu leyo kalikhomba. 52Ngendlela leyo uzabe uhlambulula indlu ngeengazi zenyoni leyo, amanzi asemjekeni, inyoni ephilako, isigojwana somsedari, ihisophi nangomtiya otlerebede. 53Uzakulisa inyoni ephilako iphaphele ngaphandle komuzi emmangweni. Ngalokho uzabe enzele indlu leyo ihlambululo, ibe ngehlambulukileko.
54“Lowo-ke mthetho wanyana ngisiphi isifo sekhwekhwe, ubuthana bembuzana, 55ukukghora engutjeni nangendlini, 56ukuvuvuka, ukukaruka nebala. 57Nako-ke umthetho wezifezo umuntu angakghona ukuhlukanisa ngawo bona into isilaphele nini namkha ihlambuluke nini.”
