1 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
2 Lo woba ngumyalelo woneqhenqa, ngomhla wokuhlanjululwa kwakhe:
3 Woziswa kumbingeleli, aphume umbingeleli aye ngaphandle kweminquba, akhangele umbingeleli, O! isibetho seqhenqa siphilisiwe, semka koneqhenqa;
4 awise umthetho umbingeleli, ukuba lowo uzihlambululayo athatyathelwe iintaka ezimbini eziphilileyo, ezihlambulukileyo, nomsedare,* noboya obubomvu, nehisope.*
5 Wowisa umthetho umbingeleli, enye intaka empahleni yomdongwe ixhelelwe phezu kwamanzi aphilileyo;
6 ayithabathe intaka ephilileyo, nomsedare, noboya obubomvu, nehisope, azithi nkxu, ndawonye nentaka ephilileyo, egazini lentaka exhelelwe phezu kwamanzi aphilileyo;
7 amfefe lowo uza kuhlanjululwa eqhenqeni lakhe izihlandlo zibe sixhenxe, athi uhlambulukile, ayindulule intaka ephilileyo iye ezindle.
8 Lowo uzihlambululayo wozihlamba iingubo zakhe, achebe zonke iinwele zakhe, ahlambe emanzini, ahlambuluke ke.Emveni koko wongena eminqubeni, ahlale ngaphandle kwentente yakhe imihla esixhenxe;
9 kuthi ngomhla wesixhenxe, achebe zonke iinwele zakhe entloko, nasesilevini sakhe, nasemashiyini akhe, azichebe zonke iinwele zakhe, azihlambe iingubo zakhe, ahlambe umzimba wakhe emanzini, ahlambuluke ke.
10 Ngomhla wesibhozo wothabatha iimvana ezimbini ezigqibeleleyo, nemvanazana emnyaka mnye egqibeleleyo ibe nye, nezahlulo ezithathu zesishumi zomgubo ocoliweyo, ube ngumnikelo wokudla, ugalelwe ioli, neloge* yeoli ibe nye;
11 umbingeleli ohlambululayo ayimise indoda ezihlambululayo, nezo zinto, phambi koYehova emnyango wentente yokuhlangana.
12 Woyithabatha umbingeleli enye imvana, ayisondeze ibe lidini letyala, neloge yeoli, azitshangatshangise zibe ngumtshangatshangiso ezo nto phambi koYehova;
13 ayixhelele imvana apho kuxhelelwa khona idini lesono nedini elinyukayo, endaweni engcwele; kuba, njengokuba lilelombingeleli idini lesono, likwanjalo idini letyala: liyingcwele kangcwele.
14 Wocaphula umbingeleli egazini ledini letyala, adyobhe umbingeleli esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yalowo uzihlambululayo, nasesithupheni sesandla sakhe sokunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwakhe lwasekunene.
15 Aze acaphule umbingeleli elogeni yeoli, ayigalele esandleni sombingeleli sasekhohlo;
16 awuthi nkxu umbingeleli umnwe wakhe wasekunene eolini esesandleni sakhe sasekhohlo, afefe inxalenye yeoli ngomnwe wakhe izihlandlo ezisixhenxe phambi koYehova.
17 Inxalenye yeoli eseleyo esesandleni sakhe, umbingeleli woyidyobha esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yalowo uzihlambululayo, nasesithupheni sesandla sakhe sasekunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwakhe lwasekunene, phezu kwegazi ledini letyala.
18 Eseleyo ioli esesandleni sombingeleli aze ayigalele entloko kulowo uzihlambululayo, umbingeleli amcamagushele ke phambi koYehova.
19 Umbingeleli wolenza idini lesono, amcamagushele lowo uzihlambululayo ngenxa yobunqambi bakhe; emveni koko alixhele idini elinyukayo,
20 alinyuse umbingeleli idini elinyukayo, nomnikelo wokudla, esibingelelweni, umbingeleli amcamagushele. Wohlambuluka ke.
21 Ukuba uthe waba sisweli, nesandla sakhe asaba nakukufumana oko, wothabatha imvana ibe nye, ibe lidini letyala lokutshangatshangisa, amcamagushele, nesahlulo seshumi somgubo ocoliweyo, ugalelwe ioli, sibe sinye, ube ngumnikelo wokudla, neloge yeoli;
22 namahobe amabini, nokuba ngamagobo amabini evukuthu, esinokuwafumana isandla sakhe, elinye libe lidini lesono, elinye libe lidini elinyukayo.
23 Maze awazise ngomhla wesibhozo kumbingeleli, ukuba ahlanjululwe emnyango wentente yokuhlangana phambi koYehova.
24 Umbingeleli woyithabatha imvana elidini letyala, neloge yeoli, ezo nto umbingeleli azitshangatshangise zibe ngumtshangatshangiso phambi koYehova;
25 ayixhele imvana yedini letyala; acaphule umbingeleli egazini ledini letyala, alidyobhe esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yalowo uzihlambululayo, nasesithupheni sesandla sakhe sasekunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwakhe lwasekunene.
26 Inxalenye yeoli woyigalela umbingeleli esandleni sombingeleli sasekhohlo,
27 umbingeleli afefe ngomnwe wakhe wasekunene inxalenye yeoli esesandleni sakhe sasekhohlo, izihlandlo zibe sixhenxe phambi koYehova;
28 umbingeleli adyobhe inxalenye yeoli esesandleni sakhe esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yalowo uzihlambululayo, nasesithupheni sesandla sakhe sasekunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwakhe lwasekunene, phezu kwendawo enegazi ledini letyala.
29 Eseleyo ioli esesandleni sombingeleli woyigalela entloko kulowo uzihlambululayo, amcamagushele phambi koYehova.
30 Wolinikela elinye ihobe, nokuba lelinye igobo levukuthu, esinokulifumana isandla sakhe,
31 oko sinokukufumana isandla sakhe; elinye libe lidini lesono, elinye libe lidini elinyukayo, ndawonye nomnikelo wokudla, umbingeleli amcamagushele lowo uzihlambululayo phambi koYehova.
32 Nguwo lowo umyalelo walowo sikhoyo kuye isibetho seqhenqa, osandla singabanga nakufumana nto angahlanjululwa ngayo.
33 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses nakuAron, esithi,
34 Xa nithe nafika ezweni lakwaKanan, endininika lona ukuba libe lelenu, ndasibeka isibetho seqhenqa endlwini yelizwe elo lilelenu,
35 makeze umninindlu amxelele umbingeleli, esithi, Kubonakala kum ngathi kukho isibetho endlwini.
36 Wowisa umthetho umbingeleli, ukuba bayikhuphe impahla endlwini, engekangeni umbingeleli ukuba asikhangele isibetho, ukuze ingabi yinqambi yonke into esendlwini; emveni koko wongena umbingeleli ukuba ayikhangele indlu.
37 Akusikhangela isibetho, O! isibetho sisezindongeni zendlu, sizizifanya ezibuhlazarha, nokuba zifuna ukuba ngqombela, ukubonakala kwazo zithe gangqa eludongeni:
38 wophuma umbingeleli endlwini, aye emnyango wendlu, ayivale indlu imihla esixhenxe.
39 Wobuya umbingeleli ngomhla wesixhenxe akhangele, O! siqhenqethile isibetho ezindongeni zendlu;
40 aze awise umthetho umbingeleli, ukuba arholwe amatye esikuwo isibetho eso, aphoswe ngaphandle komzi endaweni eyinqambi;
41 ayiphale indlu ngaphakathi ngeenxa zonke, bawuphose umhlaba abawuphalileyo ngaphandle komzi endaweni eyinqambi;
42 bathabathe matye wambi, bawafake endaweni yaloo matye, kuthatyàthwe olunye udaka, ityatyekwe indlu.
43 Ukuba sithe sabuya isibetho sathi qwele endlwini, emveni kokurholwa kwamatye, nasemveni kokuphalwa kwendlu, nasemveni kokutyatyekwa kwayo, wongena umbingeleli, akhangele,
44 O! siqhenqethile isibetho endlwini: liqhenqa elimandundu endlwini, iyinqambi ke.
45 Yodilizwa indlu namatye ayo, nemithi yayo, nodaka lonke lwendlu, zikhutshelwe ngaphandle komzi ezo zinto, ziye kulahlelwa endaweni eyinqambi.
46 Lowo ungenayo endlwini, yonke imihla yokuvalwa kwayo, woba yinqambi, ahlwise.
47 Lowo ulele kuloo ndlu, wozihlamba iingubo zakhe; nalowo udlele kuloo ndlu, wozihlamba iingubo zakhe.
48 Ukuba umbingeleli uthe wangena, wakhangela, O! isibetho asiqhenqethanga endlwini emveni kokutyatyekwa kwendlu, umbingeleli wothi ihlambulukile indlu, ngokuba isibetho siphilisiwe.
49 Wothabatha into yokuhlambulula indlu: iintaka zibe mbini, nomsedare,* noboya obubomvu, nehisope.*
50 Maze ayixhelele enye intaka empahleni yomdongwe phezu kwamanzi aphilileyo;
51 awuthabathe umsedare, nehisope, noboya obubomvu, nentaka ephilileyo, azithi nkxu egazini lentaka exheliweyo, nasemanzini aphilileyo, ayifefe indlu izihlandlo zibe sixhenxe;
52 ayihlambulule indlu ngegazi lentaka leyo, nangamanzi aphilileyo, nangentaka ephilileyo, nangomsedare, nangehisope, nangoboya obubomvu.
53 Woyindulula intaka ephilileyo iye ngaphandle komzi, iye ezindle, ayicamagushele indlu; yohlambuluka ke.
54 Nguwo lowo umyalelo osingisele kuzo zonke izibetho zeqhenqa nakuko ukudlathuka kweenwele,
55 nakulo iqhenqa lengubo,
56 nelendlu, nakuko ukufukuka, nakuyo injaduko, nakulo itshatshazi,
57 aboyalwa ngawo ngemini yento eyinqambi, nangemini yento ehlambulukileyo. Nguwo lowo umyalelo weqhenqa.
