Ukunqunywa kwemikhawulo yezwe

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 2“Yala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Nxa nifika ezweni laseKhanani lokhu kuyizwe eliyakuba yifa lenu, izwe laseKhanani ngokwemikhawulo yalo – 3uhlangothi lwaseningizimu luyakusuka ehlane laseSini, lugudle elakwa-Edomi, umkhawulo wenu waseningizimu usuke ekugcineni koLwandle Lukasawoti ngasempumalanga, 4umkhawulo wenu ujike ngaseningizimu kokhalo lwe-Akarabimi, uze ufike eSini, uphume eningizimu kwaseKadeshi Barineya, uye eHasari Adari, uze ufike e-Asimoni, 5umkhawulo ujike ngase-Asimoni, uye emfuleni waseGibithe, uphume elwandle.

6“ ‘Umkhawulo wasentshonalanga uyakuba luLwandle Olukhulu, lona lube ngumkhawulo wenu wasentshonalanga.

7“ ‘Lokhu kuyakuba ngumkhawulo wenu wasenyakatho: kusukela eLwandle Olukhulu anoziphawulela intaba yaseHori; 8kusukela entabeni yaseHori anoziphawulela indlela eya eHamati, umkhawulo uphume eSedadi, 9andukuba umkhawulo uye eZifroni, uphume eHasari Enani; lokho kuyakuba ngumkhawulo wenu wasenyakatho.

13UMose wayala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, wathi: “Lelo liyizwe eniyakulidla ngenkatho, uJehova ayale ngalo ukuba linikwe izizwe eziyisishiyagalolunye nenxenye, 14ngokuba isizwe sabantwana bakwaRubeni njengezindlu zawoyise nesizwe sabantwana bakwaGadi njengezindlu zawoyise sezilitholile, nenxenye yesizwe sakwaManase isilitholile ifa layo; 15lezi zizwe ezimbili nenxenye zathola ifa lazo ngaphesheya kweJordani ngaseJeriko ngasempumalanga, lapho kuphuma khona ilanga.”

19“Yilawa-ke amagama amadoda: esizweni sakwaJuda: nguKalebi indodana kaJefune.

    20Esizweni sabantwana bakwaSimeyoni: nguShemuweli indodana ka-Amihudi.
    21Esizweni sakwaBenjamini: ngu-Elidadi indodana kaKisiloni.
    22Esizweni sabantwana bakwaDani: yisikhulu uBuki indodana kaJogili.
    23Kubantwana bakwaJosefa: esizweni sabantwana bakwaManase: yisikhulu uHaniyeli indodana ka-Efodi.
    24Esizweni sabantwana bakwa-Efrayimi: yisikhulu uKemuweli indodana kaShifethani.
    25Esizweni sabantwana bakwaZebuloni: yisikhulu u-Elisafani indodana kaParinaki.
    26Esizweni sabantwana bakwa-Isakare: yisikhulu uPalitiyeli indodana ka-Azani.
    27Esizweni sabantwana bakwa Asheri: yisikhulu u-Ahihudi indodana kaShelomi.
    28Esizweni sabantwana bakwaNafetali: yisikhulu uPedaheli indodana ka-Amihudi.”

Imizi engamashumi amane nesishiyagalombili yamaLevi

1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose emathafeni akwaMowabi ngaseJordani ngaseJeriko, wathi: 2“Yala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba banike amaLevi kulo izwe eliyifa labo imizi ukuba ahlale kuyo; niyakunika amaLevi namadlelo emizi nxazonke. 3Imizi ayakuhlala kuyo, amadlelo awo abe ngawezinkomo zawo, nawempahla yawo, nawezilwane zonke zawo.

4“Amadlelo emizi eniyakunika wona amaLevi ayakusuka ogangeni lomuzi izingalo eziyinkulungwane nxazonke. 5Niyakulinganisa ngaphandle komuzi izingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngasempumalanga, nezingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngaseningizimu, nezingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngasentshonalanga, nezingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngasenyakatho, umuzi ube phakathi. Lokho kuyakuba ngamadlelo emizi yawo.

6“Imizi eniyakuyinika amaLevi iyakuba yimizi eyisithupha yokuphephela, eniyakuyinika umbulali ukuba abalekele kuyo; ngaphandle kwayo niyakuwanika imizi engamashumi amane nambili. 7Yonke imizi eniyakuyinika amaLevi iyakuba ngamashumi amane nesishiyagalombili, yona kanye namadlelo ayo. 8Mayelana nemizi eniyakuyinika nithathe kulo izwe labantwana bakwa-Israyeli, kwabaningi nithathe eminingi, kwabayingcosana nithathe eyingcosana, yilowo nalowo anike amaLevi ngokuthatha kuyo imizi yakhe njengefa lakhe alidlayo.”

9UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: 10“Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Nxa niwela iJordani ningena ezweni laseKhanani, 11niyakumisela imizi ibe yimizi yokuphephela ukuba umbulali obulala umuntu kungengamabomu abalekele khona. 12Iyakuba yimizi yenu yokuphepha kumphindiseli, ukuze umbulali angafi engakemi phambi kwenhlangano, ahlulelwe. 13Imizi eniyakuwanika yona iyakuba yimizi yenu eyisithupha yokuphephela. 14Niyakunikela imizi emithathu ngaphesheya kweJordani, ninikele imizi emithathu ezweni laseKhanani ibe yimizi yokuphephela. 15Kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nakumfokazi, nakogogobeleyo phakathi kwabo lemizi iyakuba ngeyokuphephela ukuba yilowo nalowo obulala umuntu kungengamabomu abalekele khona.

Imithetho yababulali

16“ ‘Kepha uma umuntu eshaya omunye ngento yensimbi aze afe, ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa. 17Uma emshaya ngetshe elisesandleni sakhe, umuntu angafa ngalo, aze afe, ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa. 18Uma emshaya ngesikhali somuthi esisesandleni sakhe, umuntu angafa ngaso, aze afe, ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa. 19Umphindiseli wegazi uyakumbulala umbulali uqobo lwakhe; lapho ehlangana naye, uyakumbulala. 20Uma emgqula ngenzondo noma emphonsa emqamekele aze afe, 21noma emshaya ngesandla sakhe ngobutha aze afe, omshayileyo wobulawa nokubulawa; ungumbulali; umphindiseli wegazi uyakumbulala umbulali, lapho ehlangana naye.

22“ ‘Kepha uma emgqula engazelele kungengabutha, noma emphonsa ngento engamqamekelanga, 23noma ngetshe umuntu angafa ngalo, engamboni, amphonse ngalo aze afe, engeyiso isitha sakhe, ebengafuni futhi ukumona, 24khona inhlangano iyakwahlulela phakathi koshayileyo nomphindiseli wegazi ngokwalezi zahlulelo; 25inhlangano imophule umbulali esandleni somphindiseli wegazi, inhlangano imbuyisele emzini wakhe wokuphephela lapho ebebalekele khona, ahlale kuwo aze afe umpristi omkhulu owayegcotshiwe ngamafutha angcwele.

26“ ‘Kepha uma umbulali edlula ngesikhathi esithile umkhawulo womuzi wakhe wokuphephela lapho ebalekele khona, 27umphindiseli wegazi emfica ngaphandle komkhawulo womuzi wakhe wokuphephela, umphindiseli wegazi embulala umbulali, akayikuba nacala legazi, 28ngokuba nga ehlalile emzini wakhe wokuphephela waze wafa umpristi omkhulu; kepha emva kokufa kompristi omkhulu umbulali uyakubuyela ezweni eliyifa lakhe.

29“ ‘Lezi zinto ziyakuba yisimiso sesahlulelo kini ezizukulwaneni zenu kuzo zonke izindlu zenu.

30“ ‘Noma ubani obulala umuntu, umbulali uyakubulawa ngemilomo yawofakazi; kepha ufakazi oyedwa akayikufakazela muntu aze afe.

31“ ‘Futhi aniyikuthatha ihlawulo lokuphila kombulali onecala lokubulala, kodwa wobulawa nokubulawa.

32“ ‘Aniyikuthatha ihlawulo lobalekele emzini wakhe wokuphephela ukuba abuye ahlale ezweni, engakafi umpristi.

33“ ‘Aniyikungcolisa izwe enikulo, ngokuba igazi liyalingcolisa izwe; alikho ihlawulo lezwe ngegazi elichithakele kulo, kuphela ngegazi lolichithile. 34Aniyikungcolisa izwe enakhe kulo, ngokuba mina Jehova ngihlala phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.’ ”

Ukugana kwamadodakazi kaSelofehadi

1Izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise bomndeni wabantwana bakwaGileyadi kaMakiri kaManase, abemindeni yamadodana kaJosefa, zasondela, zakhuluma phambi kukaMose naphambi kwezikhulu, izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise babantwana bakwa-Israyeli, 2zathi: UJehova wayiyala inkosi yami ukubanika abantwana bakwa-Israyeli izwe libe yifa labo ngenkatho; inkosi yami yayalwa futhi nguJehova ukuba ifa likaSelofehadi umfowethu iwanike lona amadodakazi akhe. 3Uma egana amadodana ezinye izizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ifa lawo liyakususwa efeni lawobaba, lithasiselwe efeni laleso sizwe ayakuba ngawaso, kususwe efeni lezwe lethu. 4Lapho liyakuba khona ijubili* labantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ifa lawo liyakuthasiselwa efeni lalesosizwe ayakuba ngawaso, ifa lawo lisuswe efeni lesizwe sawobaba.

5UMose wabayala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli njengezwi likaJehova, wathi: Isizwe samadodana kaJosefa sikhulume kahle. 6Yilokho ayala ngakho uJehova ngamadodakazi kaSelofehadi, ethi: Mawagane njengokuhle emehlweni awo, kodwa agane nokho emndenini wesizwe sikayise. 7Ifa labantwana bakwa-Israyeli aliyikuhamba izizwe ngezizwe, ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bayakunamathela, kube yilowo nalowo efeni lesizwe sawoyise. 8Yileyo naleyo ndodakazi enefa esizweni esithile sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli iyakuba ngumfazi womndeni wesizwe sikayise, ukuze yilowo nalowo wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli abe nefa lawoyise. 9Ifa aliyikuhamba izizwe ngezizwe, ngokuba izizwe zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ziyakunamathela, kube yileso naleso efeni laso.

10Njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose, enze njalo-ke amadodakazi kaSelofehadi, 11ngokuba oMahela, noTirisa, noHogila, noMilka, noNowa, amadodakazi kaSelofehadi, agana amadodana awoyisekazi. 12Agana emindenini yamadodana kaManase indodana kaJosefa, nefa lawo lahlala esizweni somndeni kayise.

13Leyo iyimiyalo nezahlulelo uJehova ayala ngakho ngesandla sikaMose abantwana bakwa-Israyeli emathafeni akwaMowabi ngaseJordani ngaseJeriko.
