Ukuhlukaniswa kwenarha
1“Nanihlukanisa inarha njengelifa ngokuphosa ifumbe, nizakunikela uSomnini ingcenye yenarha ekhethekileko, ibe sifunda esicwengileko. Izakuba makhilomitha alitjhumi nambili nesiquntu ubude namakhilomitha alitjhumi ububanzi. Yoke indawo leyo izakuba ngecwengileko. 2Ingcenye yayo izakuba yindawo ecwengileko, ibe mamitha amakhulu amabili namatjhumi amahlanu mahlangothi woke. Akube nendawo emadlelo magegana nayo, ibe mamitha amatjhumi amabili nahlanu mazombe. 3Esifundeni esicwengileko linganisa ingcenye ibe makhilomitha alitjhumi nambili nesiquntu ubude namakhilomitha amahlanu ububanzi. Ngaphakathi kwaso kumele kube nomakhiwo ocwengileko okuyindawo ecwenge khulu. 4Leyo-ke yingcenye ecwengileko enarheni; izakuba sisabelo sabaphristi abasebenza ngemakhiweni ocwengileko nabatjhidela kobana balotjhe phambi kwakaSomnini. Izakuba yindawo yezindlu zabo neyamadlelo wemihlambi. 5Indawo emakhilomitha alitjhumi nambili nesiquntu ubude namakhilomitha amahlanu ububanzi izakuba ngeyamaLevi aziinceku emakhiwenami ocwengileko. Izakuba sisabelo sawo lapha kuzakwakhiwa khona imizawo yokuhlala.
6“Njengesabelo sedorobho esifundeni esikhethekileko nizakuhlukanisa indawo emakhilomitha amabili nesiquntu ububanzi namakhilomitha alitjhumi nambili nesiquntu ubude ukulinganisana nengcenye yendawo ecwengileko. Yona izakuba yindawo yendlu yoke yakwa-Israyeli.
7“Isabelo sekosana sizakuba seengcenyeni zombili zesifunda esicwengileko nezesabelo sedorobho ngepumalanga nangetjingalanga. Sizakunabela ngemkhawulweni wenarha ngetjingalanga nemkhawulweni wenarha ngepumalanga, silinganisane nezabelo zeenkoro 8enarheni. Leso-ke sizakuba lilifa layo kwa-Israyeli. Amakhosanami akasoze asagandelela abantu bami godu. Kufuze aliselele inarha endlini yakwa-Israyeli ukuya ngokweenkoro zayo.”
9Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: “Sekwanele kwanjesi khona nina makhosana wakwa-Israyeli! Lahlani inturhwenu nokuphanga, nenze ubulungiswa nokulunga. Lisani ukuqotjha abantu bami.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla. 10Sebenzisani iinlinganiso zeqiniso, umthamo kapumpana weqiniso nomgqomu weqiniso. 11Upumpana nomgqomu kumele zilingane, umgqomu ube ngokwetjhumi kwentundu kadumbana nopumpana abe ngokwetjhumi kwentundu kadumbana. Intundu kadumbana isilinganiso esilingeneko. 12Isilinganiso esifaneleko kufuze sibe magremu alitjhumi nambili namkha amagremu amakhulu alikhomba namatjhumi amabili.
Iminikelo namalanga akhethekileko
13“Nasi isipho esikhethekileko okumele ninikele ngaso: amakhilogremu amabili kenye nenye intundu kadumbana yekoroyi kanye namakhilogremu amabili kenye nenye intundu kadumbana yebhali. 14Isipho esikhethekileko samafutha we-oliva kufuze sibe malitha amane emakhulwini amane. (Intundu kadumbana beyimalitha amakhulu amane.) 15Godu kuzakuthathwa imvu eyodwa komunye nomunye umhlambi omakhulu amabili emadlelweni wakwa-Israyeli.
“Lokhu kuzakusetjenziswa njengeminikelo yeenthoro, imihlabelo yokutjhiswa neyetjhebiswano ukwenzela abantu itethelelo.” Kutjho uSomnini uSomandla. 16“Boke abantu enarheni bazazibandakanya kilesi sipho esikhethekileko, basinikele ikosana kwa-Israyeli. 17Kumsebenzi wekosana ukuhlinzeka ngemihlabelo yokutjhiswa, iminikelo yeenthoro neyokuselwako eminyanyeni nekuthwaseni kwenyanga kanye nemaSabatheni, iye, kiyo yoke iminyanya yendlu ka-Israyeli. Izakuhlinzeka ngemihlabelo yehlambululo, iminikelo yeenthoro, imihlabelo yokutjhiswa neyetjhebiswano ukwenzela indlu ka-Israyeli itethelelo.”
18Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uSomandla: “Enyangeni yokuthoma ngelanga lokuthoma uzakuthatha ikunzana emsulwa ukuze uhlambulule omakhiwo ocwengileko. 19Umphristi uzakuthatha ezinye iingazi zomhlabelo wehlambululo azininde eengosenini zeminyango yethempeli, phezu kwamajika womane womphetho ongehla we-aldari neengosenini zesirhodlo sangaphakathi. 20Nizakwenza soneso ngelanga lekhomba lenyanga mayelana nananyana ngubani owona ngokungakahlosi namkha ngokungayeleli; ngendlela leyo nizakwenzela ithempeli itethelelo.
21“Ngenyanga yokuthoma ngelanga letjhumi nane nizakugidinga iPhasika. Ngemva kwalo esikhathini somnyanya wamalanga alikhomba nizakudla isikwa esinganangumelo. 22Mhlokho ikosana izakuhlinzeka ngekunzi njengomhlabelo wehlambululo kube ngeyayo nabo boke abantu benarha leyo. 23Ngamalanga emalangeni alikhomba womnyanya, kumele ihlinzeke ngeenkunzi ezilikhomba namaqama alikhomba, koke kube msulwa, kube njengomhlabelo wokutjhiswa kuSomnini nepongo ibe ngeyomhlabelo wehlambululo. 24Izakuhlinzeka ngomnikelo weenthoro kube ngupumpana malungana nenye nenye ikunzi nopumpana malungana nelinye nelinye iqama, kukhambisane namalitha amane wamafutha we-oliva upumpana ngamunye. 25Emalangeni alikhomba womnyanya othoma enyangeni yekhomba ngelanga letjhumi nahlanu, kumele ihlinzeke ngokufanako imihlabelo yehlambululo neyokutjhiswa, iminikelo yeenthoro neyamafutha we-oliva.”
