ULEVITIKUSI 5
Iimbonelo zokona ngokungakahlosi
1“Kungenzeka umuntu abone namkha ezwe ngobulelesi kodwana athule ngobufakazi, phezu kokobana asazi bonyana umuntu onjalo unikelelwe, ngalokho uzabe wonile bese uyakhathazeka ngebanga lesonweso; 2godu kungenzeka umuntu athinte into esilapheleko ngokungazi, kungaba sidumbu sesilwana esisilapheleko sommango, sefuyo esilapheleko namkha seemphili ezikhakhaba ehlabathini uzakusilaphala bese uzizwa anomlandu; 3kungenzeka godu umuntu athinte ukusilaphala komunye umuntu ngokungazi, kungaba nanyana yini engasilaphaza umuntu, alemuke ngalokho bese uzizwa anomlandu; 4namkha enze isifungo ngamawala, kungaba ngokuhle namkha okumbi kwananyana yini angahle afunge ngayo ngobutjhapho, alemuke ubutjhapho bakhe bese uzizwa anomlandu; 5kufuze avume lokho one ngakho kikho koke okubaliweko. 6Akalethe ihlawulo kuSomnini okuyimvana namkha imbuzana esikazi ayithethe emhlambinakhe, ibe mhlabelo wehlambululo mayelana nesono sakhe. Ngendlela leyo umphristi uzabe enzela umuntu loyo itethelelo ngebanga lesono sakheso. 7Nakube akanamandla wokuletha imvana, akalethe ihlawulo kuSomnini okumazuba amabili wommango namkha amazutjana amabili wekhaya kube mhlabelwakhe wehlambululo mayelana nesono sakhe. Elinye libe ngelomhlabelo wehlambululo bese elinye liba ngelomhlabelo wokutjhiswa. 8Kufuze awalethe kumphristi bese umphristi uthoma ngokunikela linye lawo libe mhlabelo wehlambululo. Aliquntule intanyana le eduze nehloko, nokho angavuli isitutu salo. 9Akaphophisele ezinye zeengazi zalo zomhlabelo wehlambululo ngeqadi kwe-aldari, ezinye aziphophisele emanzinzwenalo. Lokho kumhlabelo wehlambululo. 10Elinye umphristi uzakwenza ngalo umhlabelo wokutjhiswa, enze njengombana kuvame ukwenziwa. Ngendlela leyo umphristi uzabe enzela umuntu loyo itethelelo ngebanga lesono sakhe. Ngalokho uzakuhlambuluka esonweni sakheso.
11“Nakube akanamandla wokuletha amazuba amabili wommango namkha amazutjana amabili wekhaya, akalethe umnikelwakhe ositjhutjana seflowuru esefiweko kube mnikelo wehlambululo. Akukafuzi afake amafutha we-oliva namkha amakha phezu kwayo ngombana lowo mnikelo wehlambululo. 12Akayilethe kumphristi ozakunghwatha isandla seflowuru leyo kube sisabelo sesikhumbuzo bese uyitjhisa e-aldarini kanye neminikelo ekhethekileko kuSomnini. Lokho kumnikelo wehlambululo.
13“Ngendlela leyo umphristi uzabe enzela umuntu loyo itethelelo ngebanga lesinye sezono ezibaliweko. Ngalokho uzakuhlambuluka esonweni sakheso.
“Woke omunye umnikelo ungowomphristi, njenganyana kwenziwa ngomnikelo weenthoro.”
Umhlabelo wehlawulo
14USomnini wakhuluma noMosi wathi: 15“Nangabe umuntu wenza isiphambeko ngokona angakahlosi ngokusilaphaza izinto ezicwengileko zakaSomnini, kufuze alethe ihlawulo kuSomnini okuliqama elimsulwa alithethe emhlambinakhe. Iqama aliletha njengomhlabelwakhe wehlawulo alibe nobungako besiliva obubekwa mphristi ngokwesilinganiso sendawo ecwengileko. 16Kufuze abuyisele koke lokho one ngakho mayelana nezinto ezicwengileko begodu angezelele ngobungako besihlanu. Akanikele umphristi iqamelo bese amenzele itethelelo ngalo. Ngalokho uzakuhlambuluka esonweni sakheso.
17“Nangabe umuntu wona ngokwenza okuphambene neminye yemiyalo kaSomnini kodwana angazi bonyana wone muphi, khonapho azizwe anomlandu begodu akhathazeke, 18kufuze alethe kumphristi umhlabelo wehlawulo okuliqama elimsulwa alithethe emhlambinakhe. Iqama alilethako alibe nobungako besiliva obubekwa mphristi. Umphristi uzamenzela itethelo mayelana nesono asenze angakahlosi. Nanyana angazi bonyana wenze sonobani, uzakuhlambuluka emmoyenakhe. 19Lowo-ke mhlabelo wehlawulo. Iye, umuntu loyo abuyisene noSomnini ngawo.”
