ULEVITIKUSI 12

₁UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

₂Yisho kubantwana bakwaIsrayeli, uthi: Uma owesifazane ekhulelwa, azale umfana, uyakuba-ngongcolile izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; njengasemihleni yokungcola ngefindo lakhe wohlala engcolile.

₃Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili inyama yejwabu lakhe iyakusokwa.

₄Abesehlala esegazini lokuhlambuluka izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu nantathu, angathinti-lutho olungcwele, angangeni endlini engcwele, zize ziphelele izinsuku zokuhlambuluka kwakhe.

₅Kepha uma ezala intombazana, makabe-ngongcolile amasonto amabili njengasekungcoleni ngefindo lakhe, ahlale esegazini lokuhlambuluka izinsuku ezingamashumi ayisithupha nesithupha.

₆Nanxa seziphelile izinsuku zokuhlambuluka kwakhe ngomfana noma ngentombazana, makalethe imvu enomnyaka munye, ibe-ngumnikelo wokushiswa, nephuphu lejuba noma ihobhe, libe-ngumnikelo wesono, akulethe ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana kumpristi,

₇yena anikele ngakho phambi kukaJehova, amenzele ukubuyisana, aze ahlambuluke emthonjeni wegazi lakhe. Yilowo umthetho wozalayo umfana noma intombazana.

₈Uma amandla akhe enganeli imvu, khona uyakuthatha amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba, elinye libe-ngumnikelo wokushiswa, elinye libe-ngumnikelo wesono, umpristi amenzele ukubuyisana, aze ahlambuluke.
