17 “ ‘Abangcolileyo bayakuthatha umlotha wokushayo komnikelo wesono, namanzi agobhozayo ayakuthelwa kanye nawo esitsheni,
18 umuntu ohlambulukileyo athabathe ihisopi,* aligcobhoze emanzini, afafaze ngawo itende, nezitsha zonke, nabantu ababelapho, nowathinta ithambo, noma ababuleweyo, noma abafileyo, noma ithuna,
19 umuntu ohlambulukileyo amfafaze ongcolileyo ngosuku lwesithathu nangosuku lwesikhombisa, amphothule ngosuku lwesikhombisa, ahlanze izingubo zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, ahlambuluke ngakusihlwa.
20 Kepha umuntu ongcolayo engaziphothuli, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa phakathi kwebandla, ngokuba ungcolisile indlu engcwele kaJehova; amanzi okuphothula akafafazwanga ngawo; ungcolile.
21 Kuyakuba yisimiso esiphakade kubo; ofafaza amanzi okuphothula uyakuhlanza izingubo zakhe, nothinta amanzi okuphothula uyakuba ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe.
22 Lokhu umuntu ongcolileyo akuthintayo kuyakuba ngokungcolile; umuntu okuthintayo uyakuba ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe.’ ”
