Izimiso zezijeziso

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Futhi uyakusho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Yilowo nalowo wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, noma owabafokazi abagogobeleyo kwa-Israyeli, onikela ngenzalo yakhe kuMoloki, wobulawa nokubulawa, abantu balelo zwe bamkhande ngamatshe. 3Ngiyakubeka ubuso bami bumelane nalowo muntu, ngimnqume kubantu bakubo, ngokuba unikela ngenzalo yakhe kuMoloki ukungcolisa indlu yami engcwele nokuhlambalaza igama lami elingcwele. 4Uma abantu balelo zwe besitheza kancane amehlo abo kulowo muntu, lapho enikela ngenzalo yakhe kuMoloki, bangambulali, 5ngiyakubeka ubuso bami bumelane nalowo muntu nomndeni wakhe, ngimnqume kubantu bakubo kanye nabo bonke abaya kuye ukuphinga, beyophinga noMoloki.

6“ ‘Nalowo muntu ophendukela kwabanamadlozi nakubathakathi ukuya kubo ukuba aphinge, ngiyakubeka ubuso bami bumelane nalowo muntu, ngimnqume kubantu bakubo.

7“ ‘Ngalokho zingcweliseni nibe ngcwele, ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu. 8Anogcina izimiso zami, nizenze; nginguJehova oningcwelisayo.

9“ ‘Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othuka uyise noma unina wobulawa nokubulawa; uthukile uyise noma unina; igazi lakhe liyakuba phezu kwakhe.

10“ ‘Umuntu ophinga nomfazi womunye umuntu nophinga nomkamakhelwane wakhe, isiphingi nesiphingikazi ziyakubulawa nokubulawa.

11“ ‘Umuntu olala nomkayise wambulile ubunqunu bukayise; bobabili bobulawa nokubulawa, igazi labo libe phezu kwabo.

12“ ‘Uma umuntu elala nomalokazana wakhe, bobabili bobulawa nokubulawa; benzile ichilo; igazi labo malibe phezu kwabo.

13“ ‘Uma indoda ilala nowesilisa njenganowesifazane, bobabili benzile isinengiso; bobulawa nokubulawa, igazi labo libe phezu kwabo.

14“ ‘Uma umuntu ethatha umfazi kanye nonina, kungukonakala; bayakushiswa ngomlilo yena nabo, ukuze kungabikho konakala phakathi kwenu.

15“ ‘Uma umuntu elala nesilwane, wobulawa nokubulawa, nisihlabe isilwane.

16“ ‘Uma owesifazane esondela esilwaneni, alale naso, wobulala owesifazane nesilwane; bobulawa nokubulawa, igazi labo libe phezu kwabo.

17“ ‘Uma umuntu ethatha udadewabo, indodakazi kayise noma indodakazi kanina, abone ubunqunu bakhe, naye abone ubunqunu bakhe, kuyihlazo; bayakunqunywa phambi kwabantwana babantu bakubo; wambulile ubunqunu bukadadewabo; uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.

18“ ‘Uma umuntu elala nowesifazane onefindo lakhe, ambule ubunqunu bakhe, unqunisile umthombo wakhe, naye wambulile umthombo wegazi lakhe; bobabili bayakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

19“ ‘Ungambuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kanyoko, noma obukadadewabo kayihlo, ngokuba unqunisile isihlobo sakhe; bayakuthwala ububi babo.

20“ ‘Uma umuntu elala nomkayisekazi, wambulile ubunqunu bukayisekazi; bayakuthwala isono sabo; bayakufa beyizimpulule.

21“ ‘Uma umuntu ethatha umkamfowabo, kungukungcola; wambulile ubunqunu bomfowabo; bayakuba yizimpulule.

22“ ‘Ngalokho anogcina zonke izimiso zami, nazo zonke izahlulelo zami, nizenze ukuba izwe lapho nginiyisa khona ukuba nihlale kulo linganihlanzi. 23Aniyikuhamba ngamasiko esizwe engisixosha phambi kwenu, ngokuba benza zonke lezo zinto; ngalokho nganengwa yibo. 24Kepha ngishilo kini ukuthi: “Niyakulidla ifa lezwe labo, ngininike lona libe ngelenu, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi,” nginguJehova onahlukanisile nabezizwe.

25“ ‘Ngalokho anohlukanisa izilwane ezihlambulukileyo nezingcolileyo, izinyoni ezingcolileyo nezihlambulukileyo, ningenzi imiphefumulo yenu inengeke ngesilwane noma ngenyoni noma ngantoni enwabuzelayo emhlabeni, engizahlukanisile nani, ngathi zingcolile. 26Niyakuba ngcwele kimi, ngokuba mina Jehova ngingcwele; nginahlukanisile nabezizwe ukuba nibe ngabami.

27“ ‘Owesilisa noma owesifazane, elikubo idlozi, noma umthakathi bobulawa nokubulawa, bakhandwe ngamatshe, igazi labo libe phezu kwabo.’ ”

Imithetho yabapristi

1UJehova wathi kuMose: “Khuluma kubapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni, uthi kubo: ‘Makungabikho ozingcolisayo ngofileyo phakathi kwabantu bakubo, 2ngaphandle kwezihlobo ezinyamanye naye, okungukuthi unina, noyise, nendodana yakhe, nendodakazi yakhe, nomfowabo, 3nodadewabo, intombi eseduze naye, engenandoda; angazingcolisa ngaye. 4Akayikuzingcolisa, eyisikhulu phakathi kwabantu bakubo, ukuze azihlambalaze.

5“ ‘Abayikuzigega amakhanda abo, bangasiphuculi isilevu emaceleni, bangazigcabi emzimbeni. 6Bayakuba ngcwele kuNkulunkulu wabo, bangahlambalazi igama likaNkulunkulu wabo, ngokuba banikela ngeminikelo yomlilo kaJehova, isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wabo; ngalokho bayakuba ngcwele.

7“ ‘Angathathi owesifazane oyisifebe nowonakeleyo, angathathi owesifazane olahliwe yindoda yakhe, ngokuba ungcwele kuNkulunkulu wakhe. 8Ngalokho uyakumngcwelisa, ngokuba unikela ngesinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wakho; uyakuba ngcwele kuwe, ngokuba mina Jehova oningcwelisayo ngingcwele.

9“ ‘Indodakazi yompristi, uma izingcolisa ngokufeba, iyamhlambalaza noyise; yoshiswa ngomlilo.

10“ ‘Ongumpristi omkhulu phakathi kwabafowabo, kuthelwe ekhanda lakhe amafutha okugcoba, nowahlukaniselwa ukuba embathe izambatho, akayikuthukulula izinwele zekhanda lakhe, angaklebhuli izambatho zakhe, 11angangeni nakumuphi umuntu ofileyo, angazingcolisi ngoyise noma ngonina, 12futhi angaphumi endlini engcwele, angahlambalazi indlu engcwele kaNkulunkulu wakhe; ngokuba umqhele wamafutha okugcoba kaNkulunkulu wakhe uphezu kwakhe; nginguJehova.

13“ ‘Wothatha umfazi oseyintombi. 14Umfelokazi noma umfazi olahliweyo noma owesifazane owonakelyo, isifebe, laba akayikubathatha, kepha uyakuthatha intombi yabantu bakubo ibe ngumkakhe. 15Akayikuhlambalaza inzalo yakhe phakathi kwabantu bakhe; ngokuba nginguJehova oningcwelisayo.’ ”

16UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 17“Yisho ku-Aroni, uthi: ‘Umuntu wenzalo yakho ezizukulwaneni zayo oyisilima makangasondeli ukunikela ngesinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wakhe. 18Ngokuba umuntu oyisilima akayikusondela: impumputhe noma unyonga, noma onekhala eliyisicaba, noma ozitho zakhe zingalingene, 19noma umuntu ononyawo olwaphukileyo, noma onesandla esaphukileyo, 20noma onesifumbu, noma oyisichwe, noma onomlanga esweni lakhe, noma onesithembuzane, noma onomuna, noma oyisilima ngamasende; 21akungabikho muntu wenzalo ka-Aroni umpristi oyisilima oyakusondela ukunikela ngeminikelo yomlilo kaJehova; uyisilima; makangasondeli ukunikela ngesinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wakhe. 22Uyakudla isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wakhe, esingcwelengcwele nesingcwele. 23Kuphela akayikungena kuso isihenqo, futhi angasondeli e-altare, ngokuba uyisilima, ukuze angahlambalazi izindlu zami ezingcwele, ngokuba nginguJehova obangcwelisayo. 24UMose wakhuluma lokho ku-Aroni, nakumadodana akhe, nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.’ ”

Eminye imithetho yabapristi

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Yisho ku-Aroni nakumadodana akhe ukuba bahlukane nezinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abangingcwelisela zona, bangalihlambalazi igama lami elingcwele; nginguJehova.

3“Yisho kubo ukuthi: ‘Yilowo nalowo wenzalo yenu yonke ezizukulwaneni zenu osondela ezintweni ezingcwele abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abazingcwelisela uJehova, esengcolile, lowo muntu uyakunqunywa, angabikho phambi kwami; nginguJehova.

4“ ‘Yilowo nalowo wenzalo ka-Aroni onochoko noma ocucuzayo akayikudla izinto ezingcwele aze ahlambuluke. Nalowo othinta okungcolile ngabafileyo, noma umuntu oshaywa yizibuko, 5nalowo othinta okunwabuzelayo angangcoliswa ngakho, noma umuntu angangcoliswa ngaye, nakuba enokungcola kuni, 6umuntu othinta okunjalo uyakuba ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe, angazidli izinto ezingcwele, uma engagezi umzimba wakhe ngamanzi. 7Selishonile ilanga uyakuba ngohlambulukile, andukuba adle izinto ezingcwele, ngokuba ziyisinkwa sakhe. 8Ingcuba nokudweshulwe yizilo akayikukudla ukuzingcolisa ngakho; nginguJehova.

9“ ‘Ngalokho abogcina isiyalezo sami, funa babe nesono ngaso, bafele kuso, uma besihlambalaza, nginguJehova obangcwelisayo.

10“ ‘Umfokazi akayikudla okungcwele; umuntu ogogobeleyo wompristi noma umqashwa angadli okungcwele. 11Kepha uma umpristi ethenga umuntu eyintengo yemali yakhe, yena angakudla; nabazelwe emzini wakhe bangadla isinkwa sakhe. 12Uma indodakazi yompristi igana umfokazi, yona mayingadli emnikelweni wokuphakanyiswa wezinto ezingcwele. 13Kepha uma indodakazi yompristi ingumfelokazi noma ingolahliweyo ingenamntwana, bese yibuyela endlini kayise njengasebusheni bayo, iyakudla isinkwa sikayise; kepha umfokazi makangasidli.

14“ ‘Uma umuntu edla okungcwele engazi, wothasisela okwesihlanu kwakho, amnike umpristi okungcwele. 15Abayikuhlambalaza izinto ezingcwele zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abanikela ngazo kuJehova, 16bangabethwesi ububi obutholisa icala, lapho bedla izinto zabo ezingcwele; ngokuba nginguJehova obangcwelisayo.’ ”

Imithetho yemihlatshelo

17UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 18“Yisho ku-Aroni, nakumadodana akhe, nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Yilowo nalowo wendlu ka-Israyeli noma umfokazi kwa-Israyeli onikela ngomnikelo wakhe, noma owesithembiso sakhe noma oweminikelo yakhe yesihle, okunikelwa ngayo kuJehova ibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa, 19ukuze namukeleke, wonikela ngeduna elingenasici lezinkomo, elezimvu noma elezimbuzi. 20Noma yintoni enesici aniyikunikela ngayo; ngokuba aniyikwamukeleka ngayo. 21Umuntu onikela ngomhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula kuJehova ukugcwalisa isithembiso noma owomnikelo wesihle ezinkomeni noma ezimvini, umelwe ukuphelela ukuba wamukeleke, kungabi sici kuwo. 22Ephuphuthekayo noma eyaphukileyo noma elimeleyo noma enesilonda noma enokhwekhwe noma enomuna, ninganikeli ngazo kuJehova, futhi ninganikeli ngazo zibe ngumnikelo womlilo e-altare kuJehova. 23Inkunzi noma imvana enesitho esidluleleyo noma enesitho esincane, unganikela ngazo zibe ngumnikelo wesihle, kepha uma ungowesithembiso awunakwamukeleka. 24Aniyikunikela kuJehova ngento etheniwe ngokukhandwa noma ngokuchotshozwa noma ngokudwengulwa noma ngokunqunywa; ningenzi kanjalo ezweni lakini. 25Aniyikwamukela esandleni sowezizwe, ninikele ngezinjalo zibe yisinkwa sikaNkulunkulu wenu, ngokuba ukonakala kwazo kukuzo, zinobulima; aniyikwamukeleka ngazo.’ ”

26UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 27“Nxa kuzalwa inkunzi noma imvu noma imbuzi, iyakuhlala kunina izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; kusukela osukwini lwesishiyagalombili nangasemuva iyakwamukelwa ibe ngumnikelo womlilo kuJehova. 28Noma kuyinkomazi noma imvukazi, aniyikuyihlaba kanye nomntwana wayo ngalusuku lunye.

29“Nxa nihlabela uJehova umhlatshelo wokubonga, niyakumhlabela ukuba namukeleke. 30Uyakudliwa ngalolo suku, ningashiyi lutho lwawo kuze kuse; nginguJehova.

31“Ngalokho anogcina imiyalo yami, niyenze; nginguJehova. 32Ningahlambalazi igama lami elingcwele; kepha ngiyakungcweliswa phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli; nginguJehova oningcwelisayo, 33owanikhipha ezweni laseGibithe, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu; nginguJehova.”
