Amadini atshiswayo

1*UNdikhoyo wabiza uMosis, wathetha naye *esesibingelelweni, wathi 2makathethe namaSirayeli athi: “Xa umntu esenza umnikelo kuNdikhoyo makawenze ngento efuyiweyo, nokuba yinkomo, nokuba yimpahla emfutshane. 3Xa anikela ngenkomo, esenza idini elitshiswayo, mayibe yinkunzi engenaso nasinye isiphako. Makayise esangweni lesibingelelo, khon' ukuze uNdikhoyo amamkele. 4Loo mntu ke uya kubeka isandla sakhe entloko kuloo nkomo, yaye ke iya kwamkeleka ibe lidini lokumcamagushela. 5Loo nkunzi iya kuxhelelwa apho phambi kukaNdikhoyo, baze ababingeleli bomlibo ka-Aron balisondeze kuNdikhoyo igazi layo, babuye batshize ngalo amacala onke eqonga lamadini elisekungeneni kwesibingelelo. 6Loo mntu uya kubuya ayihlinze inkomo leyo, ayihlahle, 7baze bona ababingeleli baphembe umlilo eqongeni, babekelele iinkuni phezu kwawo. 8Baya kuthatha iinyama ezo, kunye nentloko, kwakunye namanqatha, bazibeke emlilweni apho. 9Umntu lowo yena makahlambe izibilini namanqina enkomo leyo, aze yena umbingeleli alitshise lonke elo dini phezu kweqonga. Eli lidini elitshiswayo. Litshiswa ngomlilo, litsho ngevumba elithandekayo kuNdikhoyo.

10“Ukuba into ekwenziwa umnikelo ngayo yigusha okanye yibhokhwe, mayibe liduna elingenasiphako. 11Leyo makayixhelele kwicala elingasentla leqonga phambi kukaNdikhoyo, baze oonyana baka-Aron, ababingeleli, balitshize igazi kumacala onke eqonga. 12Yakuba ihlahliwe, umbingeleli wozibeka emlilweni oseqongeni zonke ezo nyama, ndawonye nentloko kunye namanqatha. 13Umntu onikelayo yena uya kuhlamba izibilini kwakunye namanqina elo dini, aze yena umbingeleli alitshise lonke apho eqongeni. Eli lidini elitshiswayo. Litshiswa ngomlilo, litsho ngevumba elithandekayo kuNdikhoyo.

14“Ukuba yintaka ekwenziwa ngayo idini elitshiswayo, mayibe lihobe okanye ivukuthu. 15Umbingeleli wolisondeza eqongeni, aliqhawule intamo, alitshise apho eqongeni. Igazi lona uya kulophisela apho ecaleni leqonga. 16Wolikhupha indlelo, ayilahle kunye neentsiba kwicala elingasempumalanga kweqonga, apho kulahlwa khona uthuthu, 17andule ukulibamba ngamaphiko, aliqhaqhe, kodwa angalikrazuli kubini; athi emva koko alitshise lonke apho eqongeni. Eli lidini elitshiswayo. Litshiswa ngomlilo, litsho ngevumba elithandekayo kuNdikhoyo.”

Umnikelo wokutya

1“Xa kukho umntu onikela ukutya *kuNdikhoyo, makube ngumgubo. Makawudibanise namafutha omnquma, aze agalele intlaka yesiqhumiso, 2awunikezele kubabingeleli bomlibo ka-Aron. Umbingeleli uya kukha kangangesandla kuloo mgubo, udityaniswe namafutha, aze athathe yonke intlaka yesiqhumiso, azitshise apho eqongeni, oku kube ngumqondiso wokuba yonke loo nto ngumnikelo kuNdikhoyo. Ivumba laloo mnikelo womlilo liyathandeka kuNdikhoyo. 3Okushiyekileyo ke koko kutya kuya kuba koka-Aron noonyana bakhe. Kukutya okukodwa ke oku; kaloku kuthathwe kukutya okunikelwe kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.

4“Ukuba umnikelo wenziwa ngesonka sombhako, masibe sisonka somgubo, singabi nagwele. Kungaba sisonka esikhulu esenziwe ngomgubo oxutywe namafutha omnquma, okanye kube ngamaqebengwana aqatywe ngaloo mafutha.

5“Ukuba umnikelo wenziwa ngesonka esojiwe ngepani, masibe sesomgubo oxutywe namafutha omnquma, kodwa singabi nagwele. 6Masiqhekezwe eso sonka, sigalelwe amafutha. Ngumnikelo wokutya ke lowo.

7“Ukuba umnikelo wenziwa ngesonka esiphekiweyo, masibe sesomgubo oxutywe namafutha omnquma.

8“Umnikelo wokutya mawusondezwe kuNdikhoyo, unikwe umbingeleli, awuse eqongeni. 9Uya kwandula umbingeleli ukuthatha intwana engumqondiso wokuba unikelwa kuNdikhoyo, ayitshise apho eqongeni. Lo ngumnikelo womlilo. Ivumba ledini lomlilo liyathandeka kuNdikhoyo. 10Okuseleyo kuloo mnikelo kokuka-Aron noonyana bakhe; kaloku kukutya okukodwa, kuba kuthathwe kukutya okunikelwe kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.

11“Konke ukutya okunikelwa kuNdikhoyo makungabi nagwele. Ungaze ufake igwele okanye ubusi kukutya okunikelwa kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo. 12Umnikelo wolibo lwesivuno sengqolowa ungásondezwa kuNdikhoyo yonke iminyaka, phofu ungàtshiswa eqongeni ngenjongo yokwenza ivumba elimyoli. 13Ityiwa mayigalelwe kuwo wonke umnikelo wokutya, kuba kaloku ityiwa yalatha umnqophiso ophakathi kwenu noThixo. Ke ngoko yonke iminikelo mayigalelwe ityiwa. 14Xa usondeza umnikelo wolibo lwesivuno sengqolowa yiza nomgrayo wengqolowa ogcadiweyo, okanye ingqolowa engqushiweyo. 15Dibanisa amafutha omnquma, ugalele intlaka yesiqhumiso. 16Umbingeleli woyitshisa inxalenye yomgubo namafutha kwakunye nentlaka leyo iyonke, oku kube ngumqondiso wokuba yonke loo nto ngumnikelo kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.”

Amadini obudlelane

1“Xa kukho umntu onikela ngenkomo ukuba kwenziwe ngayo idini lobudlelane, loo nkomo mayibe yinkunzi okanye imazi engenasiphako. 2Loo mntu unikelayo makabeke isandla phezu kwentloko yaloo nkomo, aze ayihlabe apho esangweni *lesibingelelo *sikaNdikhoyo. Ababingeleli bomlibo ka-Aron bona bothi tshize ngegazi elo kumacala onke eqonga. 3Kweli dini lobudlelane mabenze umnikelo womlilo ngezi nyama: onke amanqatha enyama yangaphakathi, 4izintso namanqatha azo, nomhlehlo oya kususwa kunye nezintso ezo. 5Ababingeleli bowatshisa loo manqatha apho eqongeni ndawonye naloo minikelo itshiswayo. Lo ngumnikelo womlilo. Ivumba ledini lomlilo liyathandeka kuNdikhoyo.

6“Ukuba yigusha okanye yibhokhwe ekwenziwa ngayo idini lobudlelane, nokuba yinkunzi nokuba yimazi, mayingabi nasiphako. 7Xa iyigusha, loo mntu uyinikelayo makeze nayo phambi koNdikhoyo, 8ayibeke isandla entloko, ayinqumlele apho phambi kwesibingelelo. Ababingeleli bothi tshize ngegazi layo macala onke eqonga, 9baze ezi nyama zayo bazinikele kuNdikhoyo: amanqatha, nomsila wonke unqunyulelwe kufuphi nasekuqaleni komqolo, onke amanqatha agqume inyama yangaphakathi, 10izintso namanqatha azo, nomhlehlo oya kususwa kunye nezintso ezo. 11Umbingeleli wozitshisa zonke ezi nyama eqongeni, zibe lidini elinikelwa kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.

12“Xa ngaba yibhokhwe, loo mntu uyinikelayo makeze nayo phambi koNdikhoyo, 13ayibeke isandla entloko, ayinqumlele apho ngaphambi kwesibingelelo. Ababingeleli bothi tshize ngegazi layo kumacala onke eqonga, 14banikele ezi nyama zibe ngumnikelo kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo: amanqatha enyama yangaphakathi, 15izintso namanqatha azo, umhlehlo oya kususwa kunye nezintso ezo. 16Umbingeleli wozitshisa zonke ezi nyama eqongeni, zibe lidini lomlilo elivumba lithandekayo kuNdikhoyo. Onke amanqatha ngakaNdikhoyo. 17Makungabikho mSirayeli utya nqatha nagazi. Lo mmiselo mawugcinwe rhoqo ngamaSirayeli nakwizizukulwana ezizayo.”

Amadini okungxengxezela iziphoso

1*UNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis ukuba 2makabhekise kumaSirayeli lo mlomo uthi xa kukho bani wonileyo, waphula imimiselo kaNdikhoyo engenzi ngabom, kufuneka alandele le miyalelo.

3Xa ingumbingeleli othanjisiweyo lowo wenze isono, aze ngokwenjenjalo azisele abantu ityala, yena uya kunikela ngethole lenkunzi yenkomo elingenasiphako, enze ngalo idini lokungxengxezela isono sakhe kuNdikhoyo. 4Loo nkunzi uya kuyisa ngasekungeneni *kwesibingelelo, ayibeke isandla entloko, aze ayihlabele apho phambi koNdikhoyo, 5aze ke kwayena athathe igazi layo, angene nalo esibingelelweni. 6Akuba ethe nkxu umnwe egazini, uya kutshiza ngalo kasixhenxe apho ngaphambi koNdikhoyo nganeno komkhusane wegumbi eliyingcwele kangcwele, 7andule ukutyikila ngenxalenye yegazi elo iimpondo ezikwiikona zeqonga lesiqhumiso elilapho kwigumbi eliyingcwele, aliphalaze igazi eliseleyo emazantsi eqonga lamadini atshiswayo elisekungeneni kwesibingelelo. 8Wothi ke athathe onke amanqatha enyama yangaphakathi yale nkunzi, 9izintso namanqatha azo, kunye nomhlehlo, 10kanye njengoko enzayo ngamanqatha edini lobudlelane. Loo manqatha uya kuwatshisa kwelaa qonga lamadini atshiswayo. 11Kodwa sona isikhumba nayo yonke inyama, intloko namanqina, nezibilini kwakunye namathumbu, oko kukuthi yonke inyama enganikelwanga kuNdikhoyo, 12uya kuyikhuphela ngaphandle kwelali, azise kulaa ndawo ikhethekileyo apho kulahlwa khona uthuthu, azitshisele apho ngomlilo weenkuni.

13Xa kone ibandla lakwaSirayeli liphela, lize ke libe netyala lokwaphula ummiselo kaNdikhoyo lingaqondanga, 14kuya kuthi nje ukuba sazeke eso sono, kufuneke umzi uze nethole lenkunzi yenkomo yedini lokungxengxeza. Loo nkomo iya kuqhutyelwa esibingelelweni, 15apho ziya kuthi phambi koNdikhoyo iinkokheli zomzi ziyibeke izandla entloko, ize ihlatywe. 16Umbingeleli othanjisiweyo uya kuthatha inxenye yelo gazi, angene nalo ngaphakathi esibingelelweni, 17athi nkxu umnwe kulo, aze atshize ngalo kasixhenxe phambi koNdikhoyo nganeno komkhusane wegumbi eliyingcwele kangcwele. 18Elinye igazi wolityikila kwiimpondo ezikwiikona zeqonga lesiqhumiso elingaphakathi kwegumbi eliyingcwele, aze aliphalaze eliseleyo emazantsi eqonga lamadini atshiswayo elingasekungeneni kwesibingelelo. 19Uya kwandula ke asuse onke amanqatha, awatshise eqongeni apho. 20Ngale nkomo uya kwenza kanye ngalaa ndlela adla ngokwenza ngayo ngenkomo yedini lokungxengxezela izono. Yiyo ke le indlela umbingeleli enza ngayo idini lokucamagushela izono zabantu, yaye bozixolelwa. 21Andule ke ukuyikhuphela ngaphandle kwelali loo nyama, aye kuyitshisa kanye ngalaa ndlela atshisa ngayo eyokucamagushela ezakhe izono. Lilo ke elo idini lokucamagushela ibandla.

22Xa kone umntu oyinkokheli, aphule ummiselo kaNdikhoyo uThixo engaqondanga, 23kuya kuthi nje ukuba ayiqonde into ayenzileyo, kufuneke eze nenkunzi yebhokhwe engenasiphako. 24Woyibeka isandla entloko, aze ayinqumlele phambi koNdikhoyo kuloo ndawo kwenzelwa kuyo amadini atshisayo. Eli lidini lokucamagushela isono. 25Umbingeleli wofaka umnwe egazini lebhokhwe leyo, alityikile kwiimpondo ezisezikoneni zeqonga, aze eliseleyo aliphalaze emazantsi eqonga, 26aze awatshisele apho eqongeni onke amanqatha, kanye njengoko esenza ngawamadini obudlelane. Wokwenjenjalo ke umbingeleli ukunikela idini lokucamagushela umntu oyinkokheli, aze axolelwe isono sakhe.

27Xa kone umntu nje, abe netyala lokwaphula ummiselo kaNdikhoyo engaqondanga, 28kuya kuthi nje ukuba asiqonde isono sakhe, kufuneke eze nemazi yebhokhwe engenasiphako, ukuze angxengxezele isono sakhe. 29Woyibeka isandla entloko, aze ayinqumlele apho kuxhelelwa khona amadini atshiswayo. 30Umbingeleli wothi nkxu umnwe wakhe egazini layo, alityikile kwiimpondo ezikwiikona zeqonga, aze elinye aliphalaze emazantsi eqonga apho, 31andule ke athathe onke amanqatha, kanye ngalaa ndlela enza ngayo kumadini obudlelane, aze awatshise apho eqongeni, abe livumba elimnandi kuNdikhoyo. Wenjenjalo ke umbingeleli ukwenzela umntu idini, aze axolelwe izono zakhe.

32Ukuba kukho umntu ozisa igusha ukuza kwenza idini, mayibe yimazi engenasiphako. 33Woyibeka isandla entloko, aze ayinqumlele apho kuxhelelwa khona izinto zokwenza amadini atshiswayo. 34Umbingeleli wothi nkxu umnwe wakhe kwelo gazi layo, alityikile kwiimpondo ezisezikoneni zeqonga, eliseleyo aliphalaze apho emazantsi eqonga, 35andule athathe onke amanqatha, kanye njengoko esenza kumadini obudlelane, aze awatshise apho eqongeni kunye nokutya okunikelwa kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo. Wenjenjalo ke umbingeleli xa esenzela umntu idini, khon' ukuze loo mntu axolelwe izono zakhe.

Isingeniso

1Amaxesha ngamaxesha mandulo uThixo wathetha nookhokho bethu ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo ngomlomo *wabashumayeli. 2Kodwa ke kula maxesha okugqibela uthethe nathi ngoNyana wakhe. UThixo wammisela ukuba abe yindlalifa yezinto zonke, kwaye futhi ihlabathi liphela walidala ngaye. 3Ewe, uNyana lo uphuhlisa ubungangalala bukaThixo, ibe ke yena noThixo bangumceph' ucandiwe. Ihlabathi lixhaswe nguye ngamandla elizwi lakhe. Uthe ke akuba elwenzile uxolelo lwezono wahlala ewongeni kwaThixo kweliphezulu. 4Kaloku uNyana yena mkhulu kunezithunywa zezulu, kwaye ke uzuze negama elibalaseleyo kunelazo.

UNyana mkhulu kunezithunywa

5UThixo akukho sithunywa wakha wathi kuso:

“UnguNyana wam wena,

ndikuzele namhlanje;”

engazange atsho nokuthi:

“Ndiya kuba nguYise,

yena abe nguNyana wam.”

6Kwakhona ekuyiziseni kwakhe ehlabathini inkulu yakhe uThixo wathi:

“Mazinqule yena zonke izithunywa zikaThixo.”

7Ngokubhekiselele kwizithunywa zikaThixo kuthiwa:

“Ulowenza imimoya izithunywa zakhe,

nemibane elenyayo ibe zizicaka zakhe.

8Kodwa uthi mayela noNyana:

“Kambe, ulawulo lwakho, Thixo, àluphele ndawo!

Kwaye futhi wena ulawula ngobulungisa.

9Ungumathand' ubulungisa,

uyithiyile inkohlakalo.

Ngenxa yaloo nto ke, Thixo,

uThixo wakho ukuthambisile.

Ewe, ukuthe jize ngesihomo nesithozela

esingaphezulu kwesoogxa bakho.”

10Uphinda athi:

“Nguwe, Nkosi, owalidalayo ihlabathi ekuqalekeni;

amazulu ênziwa zizandla zakho.

11Xa zizonke ziya kudlula,

kodwa wena uhlala uhleli;

ziya kuguga njengeempahla.

12Uya kuzisonga njengeengubo,

zona ziya kutshintshwa njengesambatho;

ube wena ungaguquki,

ube wena ungagugi.”

13UThixo zange atsho nakusinye isithunywa ukuthi:

“Hlala ngakum kweli wonga

lo gama ndikoyisela iintshaba zakho.”

14Kakade ke ngoobani izithunywa? Zingoomoya abathunywa nguThixo, benceda abo baziindlalifa zosindiso.

Inkuthazo

1Kuyafuneka ke ngoko ukuba silumke, sibambelele nkqi emfundisweni esiyivileyo, hleze siluthuzeliswe. 2Kaloku ukuba udaba olweza nezithunywa zezulu lwalulukhulu kangangokuba ukulutyeshela nokuludela bekuzisa isohlwayo esifaneleyo, 3singaphuncuka njani ke thina xa siludela olungaka lona usindiso? YiNkosi ngokwayo eluvakalisileyo olu sindiso kuqala, baza ke abo bayivileyo babungqina ubunyani balo kuthi. 4UThixo ke yena wongezelela ubungqina babo ngemiqondiso, imimangaliso, nangezenzo ezibonakalisa amandla akhe, ebanika neziphiwo zikaMoya oyiNgcwele ngohlobo athande ngalo.

Umbingeleli onovelwano nothembekileyo

5UThixo kaloku akalinikanga izithunywa zakhe igunya lokulawula ilizwe elizayo – ngumxholo esithetha ngawo ke lowo. 6Kukho indawo ekubhalwe kuyo *eziBhalweni kwathiwa:

“Uyintoni na umntu, Thixo, le nto ude uzidube kangaka ngaye?

Kutheni le nto ude uzikhathaze ngento nje engumntu?

7Umbeke ngaphantsi kuhle nje kwizithunywa zakho.

Umthe jize ngesihomo nesithozela.

8Umnike igunya lokulawula zonke izinto.”

Ukuba ke uThixo umnike igunya lokulawula zonke izinto, akukho nanye into engekho ngaphantsi kolawulo lwakhe. Kambe ke ngenene, asikaziboni zonke izinto ziphantsi kwegunya lomntu okwangoku. 9Nanku ke kodwa uYesu. Yena wabekwa ngaphantsi kuhle nje kwizithunywa zikaThixo. Ngoku uthiwe jize ngesihomo nesithozela, kuba ngenxa yesisa sikaThixo wavuma ukufa ngenxa yoluntu lonke. 10Njengoko ke uThixo, ezikholo yena, zikho ngaye zonke izinto, ethande ukubanika iwonga abantwana bakhe abaninzi, bekufanelekile ukuba amsulungekisele ubunkokheli ngokuva ubunzima uYesu, lowo wayeza kubakhokelela elusindisweni. 11Kaloku lowo ukhaphela kuThixo kwanabo bakhatshelwayo ngabamlibo mnye. Yiyo ke le nto uYesu angenazintloni ukuthi abantu ngabantakwabo 12apho athi:

“Ndolivakalisa, Thixo, igama lakho kubantakwethu;

ndikudumise esidlangalaleni sabantu bakaThixo.”

13Uphinda athi:

“Ndilibeka kuThixo ithemba lam;”

aze aphinde athi:

“Ndim lo, ndikunye nabantwana andinike bona uThixo.”

14Abantwana ke abo ngabantu. Naye ke uYesu waba ngumntu njengabo, khon' ukuze ngokufa kwakhe atshitshise igunya likaSathana lokuvuyelela abantu ngokufa. 15Ngale ndlela ke wabakhulula abantu nakwiimbophelelo zokoyika ukufa ababephantsi kwazo bonke ubomi babo. 16Ke aba abancedayo asizozithunywa zezulu, ngabantu abayinzala ka-Abraham. 17Ngoko ke ubemele ukuba afane nqwa nabantakwabo, khon' ukuze abe ngumbingeleli onovelwano nothembekileyo emsebenzini kaThixo, onako ukungxengxezela izono zabantu. 18Kaloku yena nanjengamntu oselephumelele ebunzimeni bokulingwa, unako ukubanceda abo basalingwayo.
