Usuku olukhulu lokubuyisana

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose emva kokufa kwamadodana ka-Aroni ekusondeleni kwawo phambi kukaJehova, afa. 2UJehova wathi kuMose: “Khuluma ku-Aroni umfowenu ukuba angangeni njalo endaweni engcwele ngaphakathi kwesihenqo ngaphambi kwesihlalo somusa esiphezu komphongolo, ukuze angafi, ngokuba ngiyakubonakala efwini phezu kwesihlalo somusa.”

3U-Aroni kangene endaweni engcwele nalokhu: iduna, libe ngumnikelo wesono, nenqama, ibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa, 4embathe ibhantshi elingcwele lelineni, abe nebhulukwe lelineni emzimbeni wakhe, abhince ibhande* lelineni, afake isigqoko selineni; lezi ziyizambatho ezingcwele; uyakugeza umzimba wakhe ngamanzi, azembathe. 5Wothabatha enhlanganweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli izimpongo ezimbili zibe ngumnikelo wesono, nenqama ibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa.

6U-Aroni kanikele ngenkunzi yomnikelo wesono engenxa yakhe, azenzele yena nendlu yakhe ukubuyisana. 7Wothabatha izimpongo zombili, azibeke phambi kukaJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana. 8U-Aroni uyakwenza inkatho ngezimpongo zombili, enye inkatho ibe ngekaJehova, enye inkatho ibe ngeka-Azazeli. 9U-Aroni wonikela ngempongo edliwe yinkatho kaJehova, anikele ngayo ibe ngumnikelo wesono. 10Kepha impongo edliwe yinkatho ka-Azazeli iyakubekwa phambi kukaJehova isezwa ukuba kwenziwe ukubuyisana ngayo, ithunywe ku-Azazeli ehlane.

11U-Aroni wonikela ngenkunzi yomnikelo wesono engenxa yakhe, azenzele yena nendlu yakhe ukubuyisana, ahlabe inkunzi yomnikelo wesono engenxa yakhe. 12Wothabatha umcengezi womlilo ogcwele amalahle omlilo ase-altare phambi kukaJehova, izandla zakhe zigcwele impepho ethaphukayo icolisisiwe, akulethe ngaphakathi kwesihenqo, 13abeke impepho emlilweni phambi kukaJehova ukuba ifu lempepho lisibekele isihlalo somusa esiphezu kobufakazi, ukuze angafi; 14athabathe kulo igazi lenkunzi, afafaze ngalo isihlalo somusa ngasempumalanga ngomunwe wakhe, nangaphambi kwesihlalo somusa afafaze ngegazi kasikhombisa ngomunwe wakhe.

15Abesehlaba impongo yomnikelo wesono engenxa yabantu, alethe igazi layo ngaphakathi kwesihenqo, enze ngegazi layo njengalokho wenza ngegazi lenkunzi, afafaze ngalo isihlalo somusa nangaphambi kwesihlalo somusa, 16enzele indawo engcwele ukubuyisana ngenxa yokungcola kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli nangenxa yeziphambeko zabo ezonweni zabo zonke; akenzele njalo netende lokuhlangana elihlezi nabo phakathi kokungcola kwabo. 17Akuyikubakho muntu etendeni lokuhlangana, nxa engena ukwenza ukubuyisana endaweni engcwele aze aphume, azenzele ukubuyisana, yena nendlu yakhe nebandla lonke lakwa-Israyeli.

18Uyakuphuma, aye e-altare eliphambi kukaJehova, alenzele ukubuyisana, athabathe kulo igazi lenkunzi nakulo igazi lempongo, alibhece ezimpondweni ze-altare nxazonke. 19Uyakulifafaza ngegazi kasikhombisa ngomunwe wakhe, alihlambulule, alingcwelise ekungcoleni kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

20Eseqedile ukwenzela indawo engcwele ukubuyisana, netende lokuhlangana ne-altare, uyakunikela ngempongo ezwayo; 21u-Aroni abeke izandla zakhe zombili enhloko yempongo ezwayo, avume phezu kwayo bonke ububi babantwana bakwa-Israyeli neziphambeko ezonweni zabo zonke, akubeke enhloko yempongo, ayithume ngesandla somuntu olungiselwe lokhu, iye ehlane, 22impongo ithwale ububi babo bonke, iye nabo kwahlongasibi, bayiyeke impongo ehlane.

23U-Aroni uyakungena etendeni lokuhlangana, akhumule izambatho zelineni azembetheyo ekungeneni kwakhe endaweni engcwele, azishiye khona. 24Uyakugeza umzimba wakhe ngamanzi endaweni engcwele, agqoke izambatho zakhe, aphume, anikele ngomnikelo wakhe wokushiswa nangomnikelo wokushiswa wabantu, azenzele yena nabantu ukubuyisana. 25Amanoni omnikelo wesono uyakuwashisa e-altare.

26Ovuma ukuba impongo iye ku-Azazeli uyakuhlanza izingubo zakhe, ageze umzimba wakhe ngamanzi, andukuba angene ekamu.* 27Inkunzi yomnikelo wesono nempongo yomnikelo wesono, elangeniswa igazi lazo ukwenza ukubuyisana endaweni engcwele, ziyakukhishelwa ngaphandle kwekamu,* kushiswe ngomlilo izikhumba zazo nenyama yazo nomswani wazo. 28Ozishisayo wohlanza izingubo zakhe, ageze umzimba wakhe ngamanzi, andukuba angene ekamu.*

29Lokhu kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade kini: ngenyanga yesikhombisa ngolweshumi lwenyanga niyakuthobisa imiphefumulo yenu, ningasebenzi msebenzi, owokuzalwa ekhaya nomfokazi ogogobeleyo phakathi kwenu. 30Ngokuba ngalolo suku niyakwenzelwa ukubuyisana ukuba nihlanjululwe; niyakuhlambuluka ezonweni zenu zonke phambi kukaJehova. 31Kuyisabatha lokuphumula okuzothileyo kini; anothobisa imiphefumulo yenu; kuyisimiso esiphakade. 32Umpristi oyakugcotshwa ahlukaniselwe abe ngumpristi esikhundleni sikayise uyakwenza ukubuyisana, afake izambatho zelineni, izambatho ezingcwele, 33enzele indlu engcwele ukubuyisana, enzele abapristi nabantu bonke bebandla ukubuyisana.

34Lokho kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade kini ukwenzela abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukubuyisana ngenxa yezono zabo zonke kanye ngomnyaka.

Wenza-ke njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

Imithetho yokuhlaba

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Yisho ku-Aroni, nakumadodana akhe, nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Lokhu kuyikho ayale ngakho uJehova, ethi: 3Yilowo nalowo muntu wendlu yakwa-Israyeli ohlaba inkunzi noma imvana noma imbuzi ekamu,* noma eyibulala ngaphandle kwekamu, 4engayilethanga emnyango wetende lokuhlangana ukunikela ngayo ibe ngumnikelo kaJehova ngaphambi kwetabernakele* likaJehova, lowo muntu wobalelwa icala legazi; uchithile igazi; lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo. 5Ngalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bayakuletha imihlatshelo yabo abayihlaba endle, bayilethe kuJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, kumpristi, banikele ngayo ibe yiminikelo yokuthula kuJehova. 6Umpristi wofafaza ngegazi i-altare likaJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, ashise amanoni, abe yiphunga elimnandi kuJehova. 7Abasayikuhlabela amademoni imihlatshelo yabo abaye kuwo ukuphinga. Lokho kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade kubo ezizukulwaneni zabo.’

8“Wothi kubo: ‘Yilowo nalowo muntu wendlu yakwa-Israyeli noma owabafokazi abagogobeleyo phakathi kwabo onikela ngomnikelo wokushiswa noma ngomhlatshelo, 9engayilethi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana ukunikela ngawo kuJehova, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Igazi alinakudliwa

10“ ‘Yilowo nalowo muntu wendlu yakwa-Israyeli noma owabafokazi abagogobeleyo phakathi kwabo odla igazi noma yiliphi, ngiyakumisa ubuso bami bumelane nalowo muntu odla igazi, ngimnqume kubantu bakubo. 11Ngokuba umphefumulo womzimba usegazini; ngimnike lona e-altare ukwenzela imiphefumulo yenu ukubuyisana, lokhu kuyigazi elenza ukubuyisana ngomphefumulo. 12Ngalokho ngathi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Makungabikho muntu kini odla igazi; nomfokazi ogogobeleyo phakathi kwenu makangadli igazi.”

13“ ‘Yilowo nalowo muntu wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli noma owabafokazi abagogobeleyo phakathi kwabo ozingela, abambe isilwane noma inyoni edliwayo, makachithe igazi layo, alisibekele ngothuli. 14Ngokuba umphefumulo wenyama yonke, igazi layo lihlangene nomphefumulo wayo; ngalokho ngathi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Maningadli igazi lenyama noma iyiphi, ngokuba umphefumulo wenyama yonke uyigazi layo; yilowo nalowo oyidlayo uyakunqunywa.”

15“ ‘Yilowo nalowo odla ingcuba noma lokho okudweshulwe yizilo, noma engowokuzalwa ekhaya noma engumfokazi, makahlanze izingubo zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe; khona uyakuhlambuluka. 16Kepha uma engazihlanzi, angagezi umzimba wakhe, uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.’ ”

Imithetho yomshado

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu. 3Ningenzi njengokwemisebenzi yezwe laseGibithe enahlala kulo, ningenzi futhi njengokwemisebenzi yezwe laseKhanani enginiyisa kulo, ningahambi ngemithetho yabo. 4Nenze izahlulelo zami, nigcine imithetho yami ukuba nihambe ngayo; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu. 5Ngalokho anogcina izimiso zami nezahlulelo zami; uma umuntu ezenza, uyakuphila ngazo; nginguJehova.

6“ ‘Makungasondeli muntu kowakubo ukwambula ubunqunu bakhe; nginguJehova.

7“ ‘Ubunqunu bukayihlo, ubunqunu bukanyoko, ungabambuli, ungunyoko; ungambuli ubunqunu bakhe.

8“ ‘Ubunqunu bomkayihlo ungabambuli; kungubunqunu bukayihlo.

9“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bukadadewenu, indodakazi kayihlo noma indodakazi kanyoko, noma ezelwe kini, noma ezelwe kwelinye; ungambuli ubunqunu babo.

10“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bendodakazi yendodana yakho noma obendodakazi yendodakazi yakho; awuyikwambula ubunqunu babo, ngokuba obabo bungubunqunu bakho.

11“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bendodakazi yomkayihlo, ezelwe nguyihlo; ungudadewenu; awuyikwambula ubunqunu bakhe.

13“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kanyoko, ngokuba uyisihlobo sikanyoko.

14“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bomfowabo kayihlo, ungasondeli kumkakhe; unguyihlokazi.

15“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bukamalokazana wakho; ungumkandodana yakho; awuyikwambula ubunqunu bakhe.

16“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bomkamfowenu; kungubunqunu bomfowenu.

17“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bowesifazane kanye nobendodakazi yakhe; ungathathi indodakazi yendodana yakhe, noma indodakazi yendodakazi yakhe ukwambula ubunqunu bayo, ngokuba bayizihlobo; kungukonakala.

18“ ‘Ungathathi owesifazane kanye nodadewabo ukuba wambule ubunqunu bakhe kanye nomunye esekhona, aze ambange.

19“ ‘Ungasondeli kowesifazane, wambule ubunqunu bakhe esangcolile ngokungcola kwakhe.

20“ ‘Ungalali nomkamakhelwane ukuzingcolisa ngaye.

21“ ‘Unganikeli ngenzalo yakho ukuyahlukanisela kuMoloki, ungahlambalazi igama likaNkulunkulu wakho; nginguJehova.

22“ ‘Ungalali nowesilisa njenganowesifazane; kuyisinengiso.

23“ ‘Ungalali nesilwane ukuzingcolisa ngaso; nowesifazane makangemi phambi kwesilwane ukuba alale naso; kuyichilo.

3“ ‘Yilowo nalowo makahloniphe unina noyise, nigcine amasabatha ami; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

4“ ‘Ningaphendukeli kuzo izithombe, ningazenzeli onkulunkulu ababunjiweyo; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

5“ ‘Nxa ninikela kuJehova ngomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula, anonikela ngawo ukuba namukeleke. 6Uyakudliwa ngosuku lokunikela kwenu nangakusasa; uma kusele okuthile kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu, kuyakushiswa ngomlilo. 7Uma kudliwa nokuncane ngosuku lwesithathu, kuyisinengiso; awuyikwamukeleka; 8yilowo nalowo owudlayo uyakuthwala ububi bakhe, ngokuba udumazile okungcwele kukaNkulunkulu; lowo muntu uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

9“ ‘Nxa nivuna isivuno sezwe lakini, awuyikuvuna ngokupheleleyo emagumbini ensimu yakho, ungakhothozi umkhothozo wesivuno sakho. 10Awuyikukhothoza isivini sakho, ungabuthi izithelo zesivini ezivuthulukileyo; wozishiyela abampofu nabafokazi; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

20“ ‘Olala nowesifazane oyisigqilakazi eyingoduso, engahlengiwe, engakhululiwe ngesihle, makabe nesijeziso, angabulawa nokho, ngokuba wayengakhululekile. 21Uyakuletha umnikelo wakhe wecala kuJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, inqama ibe ngumnikelo wecala. 22Umpristi uyakumenzela ukubuyisana ngenqama yomnikelo wecala phambi kukaJehova ngesono sakhe one ngaso, athethelelwe isono sakhe one ngaso.

23“ ‘Nanxa senifikile ezweni, nitshale imithi eyizinhlobonhlobo edliwayo, anothi izithelo zayo zingukungasoki kwayo; iminyaka emithathu iyakuba njengengasokiwe kini: mazingadliwa. 24Kepha ngomnyaka wesine zonke izithelo zayo ziyakuba ngcwele, ezokumdumisa uJehova. 25Ngomnyaka wesihlanu niyakudla kuzo izithelo zayo, ukuze inithelele kakhulu; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

29“ ‘Awuyikuhlambalaza indodakazi yakho ukuyenza isifebe, funa izwe lehlelwe ngubufebe, izwe ligcwale ukonakala.

30“ ‘Anogcina amasabatha ami, nihloniphe indlu yami engcwele; nginguJehova.

31“ ‘Ningaphendukeli kwabanamadlozi nakubathakathi, ningabafuni ukuba ningcoliswe yibo; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

32“ ‘Wosukuma phambi kwempunga, uhloniphe ubuso bomuntu omdala, umesabe uNkulunkulu wakho; nginguJehova.
