₁Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nanhlanu, wokuthunjwa kwethu ekuqaleni komnyaka, ngolweshumi lwenyanga, ngomnyaka weshumi nane, emva kokunqotshwa komuzi, ngalona lolo suku, isandla sikaJehova sasiphezu kwami, wangiyisa khona. ₂Ngemibono kaNkulunkulu wangiyisa ezweni lakwa-Israyeli, wangibeka entabeni ephakeme kakhulu, okwakuphezu kwayo kungathi isakhiwo somuzi ngaseningizimu. ₃Wangiyisa khona; bheka, umuntu osimo sakhe sasinjengesimo sethusi, ephethe intambo yefilakisi* esandleni sakhe, nohlanga lokulinganisa, wayemi esangweni. ₄Lo muntu wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, bheka ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngezindlebe zakho, ubeke inhliziyo yakho kukho konke engiyakukubonisa khona, ngokuba ulethiwe ukuba ngikubonise; yitshele indlu yakwa-Israyeli konke okubonayo.”

₅Bheka, kwakukhona ugange ngaphandle kwendlu nxazonke, nasesandleni somuntu kwakukhona uhlanga lokulinganisa, luyizingalo eziyisithupha, yileyo naleyo iyingalo nobubanzi besandla; walinganisa ububanzi besakhiwo: luhlanga lunye; nokuphakama: luhlanga lunye.

₆Wayeseya esangweni elalibheke empumalanga, wakhuphuka ngezinyathelo zalo, walinganisa umbundu wesango; ububanzi bawo babuluhlanga lunye. ₇Ubude bekamelo labalindi babuluhlanga lunye, nobubanzi balo buluhlanga lunye; okwakuphakathi kwamakamelo kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu; umbundu wesango eceleni kompheme wesango ngasendlini wawuluhlanga lunye.

₈Walinganisa nompheme wesango ngasendlini: luhlanga lunye. ₉Wayeselinganisa umpheme wesango: yizingalo eziyisishiyagalombili; nezinsika zalo: yizingalo ezimbili; umpheme wesango wawungasendlini.

₁₀Amakamelo abalindi asesangweni ngasempumalanga ayemathathu ngalapha, emathathu nangalapha, eyisilinganiso sinye; nezinsika zaziyisilinganiso sinye ngalapha nangalapha. ₁₁Walinganisa ububanzi besikhala sesango: yizingalo eziyishumi; nobude besango: yizingalo eziyishumi nantathu; ₁₂nomkhawulo ngaphambi kwamakamelo abalindi: yingalo inye; nomkhawulo ngalapha: yingalo inye; namakamelo abalindi: yizingalo eziyisithupha ngalapha nezingalo eziyisithupha ngalapha. ₁₃Walinganisa isango kusukela ophahleni lwelinye ikamelo kuze kube sophahleni lwelinye, ububanzi buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu, umnyango ubhekene nomnyango. ₁₄Wenza nezinsika: yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, isango lifinyelela ensikeni yegceke nxazonke. ₁₅Kusukela phambi kwesango ngasekungeneni kuze kube phambi kompheme wesango elingaphakathi kwakuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu. ₁₆Kwakukhona amafasitele avaliweyo, kuwo amakamelo nakuzo izinsika ngaphakathi kwesango nxazonke, kanjalo nakuyo imengamo; kwakukhona amafasitele nxazonke ngaphakathi namasundu ezinsikeni.

₁₇Wayesengingenisa egcekeni elingaphandle; bheka, lapho kwakukhona amakamelo nendawo egandayiweyo eyenzelwe igceke nxazonke; kwakukhona amakamelo angamashumi amathathu endaweni egandayiweyo. ₁₈Indawo egandayiweyo yayiseceleni kwamasango, ilingene nobude bamasango; lokhu kwakuyindawo egandayiweyo ephansi. ₁₉Wayeselinganisa ububanzi kusukela phambi kwesango elingenzansi kuze kube phambi kwegceke elingaphakathi ngaphandle: yizingalo eziyikhulu ngasempumalanga nangasenyakatho.

₂₀Wayeselinganisa ubude nobubanzi besango legceke elingaphandle elibheke ngasenyakatho. ₂₁Amakamelo alo abalindi ayemathathu ngalapha, emathathu nangalapha; izinsika zalo nemengamo yalo kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango sokuqala; ubude balo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, nobubanzi buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu. ₂₂Amafasitele alo, nemengamo yalo, namasundu alo kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango elibheke ngasempumalanga; bakhuphukela kulo ngezinyathelo eziyisikhombisa; imengamo yalo yayiphambi kwalezi. ₂₃Kwakukhona isango legceke elingaphakathi malungana naleli sango ngasenyakatho nangasempumalanga; walinganisa, kusukela esangweni kuze kube sesangweni, izingalo eziyikhulu.

₂₄Wayesengiyisa ngaseningizimu; bheka, isango lingaseningizimu; walinganisa izinsika zalo nemengamo yalo njengezilinganiso zasenhla. ₂₅Kwakukhona amafasitele kulo nakuyo imengamo yalo nxazonke njengamafasitele angenhla; ubude babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, nobubanzi buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu. ₂₆Kwakukhona izinyathelo eziyisikhombisa zokukhuphukela kulo, imengamo iphambi kwazo; lalinamasundu, lilinye ngalapha nelinye ngalapha ezinsikeni zalo. ₂₇Kwakukhona isango legceke elingaphakathi ngaseningizimu; walinganisa, kusukela esangweni kuze kube sesangweni ngaseningizimu, izingalo eziyikhulu.

₂₈Wayesengingenisa egcekeni elingaphakathi ngesango laseningizimu; walilinganisa isango laseningizimu njengezilinganiso zasenhla. ₂₉Amakamelo alo abalindi, nezinsika zalo, nemengamo yalo kwakunjengezilinganiso zasenhla; kwakukhona amafasitele kulo nakuyo imengamo nxazonke; ubude balo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, nobubanzi balo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu. ₃₀Kwakukhona imengamo nxazonke, ubude bayo buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu, nobubanzi bayo buyizingalo eziyisihlanu. ₃₁Imengamo yalo yayibheke egcekeni elingaphandle; amasundu ayekhona ezinsikeni zalo; kwakhushukelwa kulo ngezinyathelo eziyisihiyagalombili.

₃₂Wayesengingenisa egcekeni elingaphakathi ngasempumalanga, walilinganisa isango njengezilinganiso zasenhla, ₃₃namakamelo alo abalindi, nezinsika zalo, nemengamo yalo njengezilinganiso zasenhla; kwakukhona amafasitele kulo nakuyo imengamo yalo nxazonke; ubude babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, nobubanzi buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu. ₃₄Imengamo yalo yayibheke egcekeni elingaphandle; amasundu ayekhona ezinsikeni zalo ngalapha nangalapha; kwakhushukelwa kulo ngezinyathelo eziyisishiyagalombili.

₃₅Wayesengiyisa esangweni lasenyakatho, walilinganisa njengezilinganiso zasenhla, ₃₆namakamelo alo abalindi, nezinsika zalo, nemengamo yalo; kwakukhona amafasitele kulo nxazonke; ubude babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, nobubanzi buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu. ₃₇Izinsika zalo zazibheke egcekeni elingaphandle; amasundu ayekhona ezinsikeni zalo ngalapha nangalapha; kwakhushukelwa kulo ngezinyathelo eziyisishiyagalombili.

₃₈Kwakukhona ikamelo nomnyango walo ngasezinsikeni emasangweni; bahlanza khona umnikelo wokushiswa. ₃₉Emphemeni wesango kwakukhona amatafula amabili ngalapha namatafula amabili ngalapha ukuba kuhlatshelwe kuwo umnikelo wokushiswa nomnikelo wesono nomnikelo wecala. ₄₀Eceleni ngaphandle lapho kukhushukelwa esivalweni sesango ngasenyakatho kwakukhona amatafula amabili, nakolunye uhlangothi olungasemphemeni wesango amatafula amabili. ₄₁Amatafula amane ayengalapha, namatafula amane ayengalapha eceleni kwesango, amatafula ayisishiyagalombili ababehlabela kuwo. ₄₂Kwakungamatafula amane omnikelo wokushiswa amatshe abaziweyo, ubude buyingalo nenxenye, nobubanzi buyingalo nenzenye, nokuphakama kuyingalo, ababeka phezu kwawo izinto abahlaba ngazo umnikelo wokushiswa nomhlatshelo. ₄₃Izingwegwe, ubude bazo bungububanzi besandla, zazifakiwe ngaphakathi nxazonke; ematafuleni kwakukhona inyama yomnikelo.

₄₄Ngaphandle kwesango elingaphakathi kwakukhona amakamelo abahlabeleli egcekeni elingaphakathi, eliseceleni kwesango lasenyakatho, libheke ngaseningizimu, elinye eliseceleni kwesango lasempumalanga, libheke ngasenyakatho. ₄₅Wathi kimi: “Leli kamelo elibheke ngaseningizimu ngelabapristi abagcina inkonzo yasendlini. ₄₆Ikamelo elibheke ngasenyakatho ngelabapristi abagcina inkonzo yase-altare; bangamadodana kaSadoki aphakathi kwamadodana kaLevi, asondela kuJehova ukumkhonza.”

₄₇Wayeselilinganisa igceke, ubude balo buyizingalo eziyikhulu, nobubanzi buyizingalo eziyikhulu, yizinhlangothi ezine; i-altare laliphambi kwendlu.

₄₈Wayesengingenisa emphemeni wendlu, walinganisa izinsika zompheme: yizingalo eziyisihlanu ngalapha nezingalo eziyisihlanu ngalapha; ububanzi besango babuyizingalo ezintathu ngalapha nezingalo ezintathu ngalapha. ₄₉Ubude bompheme babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, nobubanzi buyizingalo eziyishumi nanye ngasezinyathelweni okwakukhushukelwa ngazo kulo; kwakukhona nezibonda ngasezinsikeni, esinye ngalapha nesinye ngalapha.

₁Wayesengingenisa ethempelini, walinganisa izinsika, ububanzi buyizingalo eziyisithupha ngalapha, ububanzi buyizingalo eziyisithupha nangalapha, ububanzi betabernakele.* ₂Ububanzi bomnyango babuyizingalo eziyishumi; amacele omnyango ayeyizingalo eziyisihlanu ngalapha nezingalo eziyisihlanu ngalapha; walinganisa ubude balo: yizingalo ezingamashumi amane; nobubanzi balo: yizingalo ezingamashumi amabili.

₃Wayesengena phakathi, walinganisa izinsika zomnyango: yizingalo ezimbili; nomnyango: yizingalo eziyisithupha; nobubanzi bomnyango: yizingalo eziyisikhombisa. ₄Walinganisa ubude bokuphakathi: yizingalo ezingamashumi amabili; nobubanzi: yizingalo ezingamashumi amabili phambi kwethempeli; wathi kimi: “Lokhu kuyindawo engcwele kakhulu.”

₅Wayeselinganisa udonga lwendlu: yizingalo eziyisithupha; nobubanzi bamakamelo ezinhlangothi: yizingalo ezine nxazonke zendlu emaceleni onke. ₆Amakamelo ezinhlangothi ayemathathu elakanyene elinye phezu kwelinye, engamashumi amathathu ngomumo. Angena odongeni olwalungolwendlu lwamakamelo ezinhlangothi nxazonke ukuba abambelele kulo, angabambeleli odongeni lwendlu. ₇Amakamelo ezinhlangothi aba banzi ekukhuphukeni njalo nxazonke, ngokuba okuzungeza indlu kwakhuphuka njalo nxazonke zendlu; ngalokho indlu yaba banzi ekukhuphukeni njalo; kwakhushukwa ekamelweni eliphansi kwaze kwaba kweliphezulu ngeliphakathi.

₈Ngabona ukuthi indlu yayinendunduma nxazonke; izisekelo zamakamelo ezinhlangothi zaziluhlanga olupheleleyo lwezingalo eziyisithupha kuze kube sekuhlanganisweni phezulu. ₉Uhlonze lodonga olwalungolwamakamelo ezinhlangothi ngaphandle lwaluyizingalo eziyisihlanu; indawo eseleyo yayingeyamakamelo ezinhlangothi endlu. ₁₀Phakathi kwamakamelo kwakukhona ububanzi obuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili nxazonke zendlu emaceleni onke. ₁₁Iminyango yamakamelo ezinhlangothi yayibheke endaweni eseleyo, omunye umnyango ngasenyakatho nomunye umnyango ngaseningizimu; ububanzi bendawo eseleyo babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu nxazonke.

₁₂Isakhiwo esasiphambi kwendawo eyahlukanisiweyo ngasentshonalanga, ububanzi baso babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa; uhlonze lodonga lwendlu lwaluyizingalo eziyisihlanu nxazonke, nobude balo buyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye.

₁₃Wayeselinganisa indlu, ubude bayo buyizingalo eziyikhulu; indawo eyahlukanisiweyo nesakhiwo kanye nezindonga zaso, ubude bakho babuyizingalo eziyikhulu, ₁₄nobubanzi bobuso bendlu kanye nendawo eyahlukanisiweyo ngasempumalanga: yizingalo eziyikhulu.

₁₅Wayeselinganisa ubude besakhiwo phambi kwendawo eyahlukanisiweyo eyayisemva kwaso nemipheme yayo ngalapha nangalapha: yizingalo eziyikhulu, nethempeli elingaphakathi, nemipheme yegceke, ₁₆imibundu, namafasitele avaliweyo, nemipheme nxazonke eyelakanyene kathathu malungana nombundu, kwembeswe umuthi nxazonke, kusukela phansi kuze kube semafasiteleni; amafasitele ayemboziwe; ₁₇kuze kube phezu komnyango nasendlini engaphakathi, nangaphandle, nakulo lonke udonga nxazonke ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwakulinganisiwe, ₁₈kwenziwe ngamakherubi* nangamasundu; isundu laliphakathi kwekherubi nekherubi, ikherubi lilinye linobuso obubili; ₁₉kwakungubuso bomuntu bubheke isundu ngalapha, nobuso bebhongo lengonyama bubheke isundu ngalapha; kwakwenziwe kanjalo kuyo yonke indlu nxazonke. ₂₀Kusukela phansi kuze kube phezu komnyango kwakwenziwe amakherubi* namasundu, kanjalo nasodongeni lwethempeli.

₂₁Ithempeli-ke, izinsika zomnyango zazinezinhlangothi ezine, nobuso bendawo engcwelengcwele, isimo sabo sasinjengesimo sethempeli. ₂₂I-altare lalingumuthi, ukuphakama kwalo kuyizingalo ezintathu, nobude balo buyizingalo ezimbili; lalinamagumbi; ubude balo nezindonga zalo kwakungumuthi; wathi kimi: “Lokhu kuyitafula eliyakuba ngaphambi kukaJehova.” ₂₃Ithempeli nendawo engcwelengcwele kwakunezivalo ezimbili. ₂₄Izivalo zazinezicabha ezimbili, izicabha ezimbili eziphendukayo, ezimbili ngezesinye isivalo, nezicabha ezimbili ngezesinye. ₂₅Kwakwenziwe kuzo, ezivalweni zethempeli, amakherubi* namasundu njengokwenziwe ezindongeni; kwakukhona isivikelo somuthi phezu kompheme ngaphandle. ₂₆Kwakukhona amafasitele avaliweyo namasundu ngalapha nangalapha emaceleni ompheme, nasemakamelweni ezinhlangothi zendlu, nasesivikelweni.

₁Wayesengiphumisela egcekeni elingaphandle ngasenyakatho, wangingenisa ekamelweni elibhekene nendawo eyahlukanisiweyo, elimalungana nesakhiwo ngasenyakatho, ₂ohlangothini olude, ubude balo buyizingalo eziyikhulu, umnyango ungasenyakatho; ububanzi babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu. ₃Malungana nezingalo ezingamashumi amabili ezazingezegceke elingaphakathi, namalungana nendawo egandayiweyo eyayingeyegceke elingaphandle kwakukhona umpheme malungana nompheme eyelakanyene kathathu. ₄Ngaphambi kwamakamelo kwakukhona indlela yokuhamba, ububanzi bayo buyizingalo eziyishumi ngaphakathi, nobude bayo buyizingalo eziyikhulu; iminyango yawo yayingasenyakatho. ₅Amakamelo aphezulu ayemafushane, ngokuba imipheme yanciphisa kulawa kunakwaphansi naphakathi esakhiweni. ₆Ngokuba ayelakanyene kathathu; ayengenazinsika njengezinsika zamagceke; ngalokho angaphezulu ayehlehlile kunaphansi naphakathi kusukela emhlabathini. ₇Ugange olwalungaphandle eceleni kwamakamelo ngasegcekeni elingaphandle babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu. ₈Ngokuba ubude bamakamelo ayesegcekeni elingaphandle babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisihlanu, kepha bheka, ngaphambi kwethempeli kwakuyizingalo eziyikhulu. ₉Kusukela phansi kwalawa makamelo kwakukhona ukungena ngasempumalanga, lapho kwangenwa kuwo kuvelwa egcekeni elingaphandle.

₁₀Lapho ugange lwegceke lwaludumbile khona ngasempumalanga, ngaphambi kwendawo eyahlukanisiweyo naphambi kwesakhiwo, kwakukhona amakamelo nalapho. ₁₁Indlela phambi kwawo yayinjengesimo seyamakamelo angasenyakatho; ububanzi babunjengobude; izindawo zawo zokuphuma zazinjengemithetho yazo nanjengeminyango yazo. ₁₂Njengeminyango yamakamelo aseningizimu kwakukhona umnyango esihlokweni sendlela, indlela malungana nogange ngasempumalanga, lapho kungenwa kuwo.

₁₃Wayesethi kimi: “Amakamelo asenyakatho namakamelo aseningizimu aphambi kwendawo eyahlukanisiweyo mawabe ngamakamelo angcwele, lapho abapristi abaseduze noJehova beyakudla khona okungcwelengcwele, babeke khona okungcwelengcwele, nomnikelo wempuphu, nomnikelo wesono, nomnikelo wecala, ngokuba indawo ingcwele. ₁₄Lapho abapristi bengena, abayikuphuma endaweni engcwele ukuya egcekeni elingaphandle, kepha bayakubeka lapho izambatho zabo abakhonze ngazo, ngokuba bayingcwele; bayakwembatha ezinye izingubo, basondele kulokhu okungokwabantu.”

₁₅Lapho eseqede ukulinganisa indlu engaphakathi, wangiphumisa ngendlela yesango elingasempumalanga, walinganisa ukuzungeza. ₁₆Walinganisa uhlangothi lwasempumalanga ngohlanga lokulinganisa: yizinhlanga ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu ngohlanga lokulinganisa nxazonke. ₁₇Walinganisa uhlangothi lwasenyakatho: yizinhlanga ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu ngohlanga lokulinganisa nxazonke. ₁₈Walinganisa uhlangothi lwaseningizimu: yizinhlanga ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu ngohlanga lokulinganisa. ₁₉Wayesephendukela ohlangothini lwasentshonalanga, walinganisa izinhlanga ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu ngohlanga lokulinganisa. ₂₀Wayilinganisa ezinhlangothini zozine; yayinogange nxazonke, ubude balo buyizingalo ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu, nobubanzi buyizingalo ezingamakhulu ayisihlanu ukwahlukanisa phakathi kokungcwele nokungengcwele.
