Indoda enentonga yokulinganisa
1Ngomnyaka wamashumi omabini anamihlanu wokuthinjwa kwethu, ekuqalekeni komnyaka, ngolweshumi enyangeni leyo, ngomnyaka weshumi elinesiné emva kokuxatyelwa komzi, ngayo kanye loo mini, isandla sikaYehova saba phezu kwam, wandisa khona. 2Ngemibono kaThixo wandisa ezweni lakwaSirayeli elo, wandibeka entabeni ephakamileyo kakhulu; phezu kwayo kwanga sisakhiwo somzi ngasezantsi.
3Wandisa khona: nanko umntu, okubonakala kunjengokubonakala kobhedu, ephethe intsontelo yeflakisi• ngesandla, nengcongolo yokulinganisa;• waye ke emi esangweni. 4Wathetha nam loo mntu, wathi, Nyana womntu, khangela ngamehlo akho, uve ngeendlebe zakho, ugqale ngentliziyo yakho zonke izinto endikubonisa zona; ngokuba uziswé apha ukuze uboniswe. Xelela indlu kaSirayeli konke okubonayo.
5Nanko ke, kukho udonga ngaphandle kwendlu, olujikelezileyo ngeenxa zonke, isesandleni somntu lowo ingcongolo yokulinganisa, iziikubhite• ezintandathu, iyileyo iyikubhite enobubanzi besandla. Wabulinganisa ububanzi besakhiwo; baba yingcongolo enye, ukuphakama kwayingcongolo enye.
6Waya esangweni elibheke empumalanga, wenyuka ngezinyuko zalo, walinganisa omnye umbundu wesango; waba yingcongolo enye ububanzi, omnye umbundu ke wokuqala wayingcongolo enye ububanzi. 7Negumbi lokulinda laba yingcongolo enye ubude, layingcongolo enye ububanzi; phakathi kwamagumbi okulinda zaziikubhite ezintlanu; umbundu wesango, ongasevarandeni• yesango enganeno kwayo indlu, wayingcongolo enye. 8Walinganisa ivaranda yesango leyo inganeno kwayo indlu, yayingcongolo enye. 9Walinganisa ivaranda yesango ke, yaziikubhite ezisibhozo, iintsika zayo zaziikubhite ezimbini; ke ivaranda yesango yayinganeno kwayo indlu.
10Ke amagumbi okulinda, esango elisingise empumalanga, aba mathathu ngapha, aba mathathu nangapha, aba mlinganiso mnye omathathu, zaba mlinganiso mnye iintsika ngapha nangapha. 11Walinganisa ububanzi bokungena kwesango, baziikubhite ezilishumi; ubude besango ngalinye baziikubhite ezilishumi elinazithathu. 12Ke umda phambi kwamagumbi okulinda wawuyikubhite enye ngapha, wayikubhite enye nangapha umda; amagumbi okulinda aba ziikubhite ezintandathu ngapha, aba ziikubhite ezintandathu nangapha. 13Walinganisa isango, ethabathela eluphahleni lwamagumbi okulinda, esa eluphahleni lwamanye; laba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi; umnyango ulungé nomnyango.
14Iintsika wazenza zangamashumi omathandathu eekubhite; yeza kuma ngentsika intendelezo ejikelezileyo ngeenxa zonke esangweni. 15Ke ukuthabathela phambi kwesango lokungena, kuse phambi kwevaranda yesango eliphakathi, zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu. 16Bekukho iifestile ezivaliweyo emagumbini okulinda nasezintsikeni zawo ngecala eliphakathi esangweni, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; bekukwanjalo nasezingqamekweni. Bekukho iifestile ngaphakathi, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; bekukho namasundu ezintsikeni.
17Wandisa entendelezweni ephandle; nanko, kwenziwe amagumbi nombekelelo wamatye, kwajikeleza ngeenxa zonke entendelezweni; yayingamagumbi angamashumi mathathu embekelelweni wamatye. 18Umbekelelo wamatye ubusemacaleni amasango, ulungelelene nobude bamasango; umbekelelo lowo uphantsi. 19Walinganisa ububanzi, ethabathela phambi kwesango lentendelezo ephantsi, esa phambi kwelentendelezo ephakathi nganeno kwalo; zalikhulu leekubhite ngasempumalanga nangasentla.
20Isango elibheké entla ngasentendelezweni ephandle, wabulinganisa ubude balo nobubanzi balo; 21namagumbi okulinda amathathu ngapha, amathathu nangapha, neentsika zalo, neengqameko zalo. Laba ngangomlinganiso wesango lokuqala; baziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude balo, nobubanzi balo baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu. 22Iifestile zalo, neengqameko zalo, namasundu alo, zaba ngangomlinganiso wesango elibheke empumalanga; benyuka ngezinyuko ezisixhenxe ukuya kulo; neengqameko zalo zaba phambi kwazo. 23Amasango entendelezo ephakathi alunga nesango langasentla nelangasempumalanga; walinganisa, wathabathela esangweni, wesa esangweni; zalikhulu leekubhite.
24Wandihambisa wandisingisa ezantsi; nali isango, lisingise ezantsi; walinganisa iintsika zalo neengqameko zalo kwangokwaloo milinganiso. 25Bekukho iifestile kulo nakwiingqameko zalo, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke, njengeziyá iifestile; zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi. 26Ukunyuka ukuya kulo kwaba nezinyuko ezisixhenxe, nezingqameko zalo zaziphambi kwazo; belinamasundu, elinye lingapha, elinye lingapha, ezintsikeni zalo. 27Bekukho isango elisa entendelezweni ephakathi, elisingise ezantsi; walinganisa ethabathela esangweni elo, esa esangweni elisingise ezantsi; zaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu.
28Wandisa entendelezweni ephakathi ngesango lasezantsi, walilinganisa isango lasezantsi kwangokwaloo milinganiso; 29namagumbi alo okulinda, neentsika zalo, neengqameko zalo, kwangokwaloo milinganiso. Bekukho iifestile kulo nakwiingqameko zalo, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi. 30Iingqameko zajikeleza ngeenxa zonke: zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezintlanu ububanzi. 31Iingqameko zalo zabheka entendelezweni ephandle; zibe zinamasundu iintsika zalo. Ukunyuka ukuya kulo kwaba nezinyuko ezisibhozo.
32Wandísa entendelezweni ephakathi, esingise empumalanga, walilinganisa isango kwangokwaloo milinganiso; 33namagumbi alo okulinda, neentsika zalo, neengqameko zalo, kwangokwaloo milinganiso. Bekukho iifestile kulo, nakwiingqameko zalo, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; aba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi. 34Iingqameko zalo zabheka entendelezweni ephandle; zibe zinamasundu iintsika ngapha nangapha. Ukunyuka ukuya kulo kwaba nezinyuko ezisibhozo.
35Wandísa esangweni lasentla, walilinganisa kwangokwaloo milinganiso; 36namagumbi alo okulinda, neentsika zalo, neengqameko zalo. Bekukho iifestile kulo, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi. 37Iintsika zalo zakhangela entendelezweni ephandle; zinamasundu iintsika zalo ngapha nangapha. Ukunyuka ukuya kulo kwaba nezinyuko ezisibhozo.
38Igumbi nomnyango walo lalingasezintsikeni zamasango; bebewahlamba khona amadini anyukayo.
39Evarandeni yesango bekukho iitafile ezimbini ngapha, iitafile ezimbini nangapha, zokuxhelela amadini anyukayo, nawesono, nawetyala. 40Ecaleni elingaphandle, konyukayo esiya ekungeneni kwesango ngasentla, bekukho iitafile ezimbini; nakwelinye icala ngasevarandeni yesango bekukho iitafile ezimbini. 41Kwabakho iitafile eziné ngapha, iitafile eziné nangapha, ecaleni lesango; ziitafile ezisibhozo, zokuxhelela kuzo.
42Kananjalo bekukho neetafile eziné ngasezinyukweni zamatye aqingqiweyo, aba yikubhite enye enesiqingatha ubude, ikubhite enye enesiqingatha ububanzi, ikubhite enye ukuphakama, ukuze babeke kuzo iimpahla zokuxhela amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo. 43Amabhaxa angangobubanzi besandla, abe eqiniselwe endlwini, ajikeleza ngeenxa zonke; yaye isezitafileni inyama yomsondezo.
44Ngaphandle kwesango eliphakathi bekukho amagumbi amabini entendelezweni ephakathi; elinye lingasecaleni lesango lasentla, libheké ezantsi, elinye lingasecaleni lesango lasezantsi, libheké entla. 45Wathi kum, Eli gumbi, libheké ezantsi, lelababingeleli abagcina isigxina sendlu le. 46Igumbi elibheké entla lelababingeleli abagcina isigcina sesibingelelo. Bona bangoonyana bakaTsadoki, koonyana bakaLevi, abasondelàyo kuYehova ukuba balungiselele kuye. 47Wayilinganisa intendelezo; zaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu nobubanzi; imbombo-né; isibingelelo ke besiphambi kwayo indlu.
48Wandisa evarandeni yayo indlu, walinganisa intsika yevaranda: iikubhite zontlanu ngapha, iikubhite zontlanu ngapha; ububanzi besango baziikubhite ezintathu ngapha, iikubhite ezintathu nangapha. 49Ubude bevaranda baba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini, ububanzi baba ziikubhite ezilishumi elinanye ngasezinyukweni, ebe kunyukwa ngazo kuyiwe kuyo. Bekukho iintsika ngasezintsikeni zomnyango, enye ngapha, enye nangapha.
