14 UJehova waragela phambili akhuluma noMosi wathi: 2 “Lo mthetho okufuze ulandelwe mumuntu obekaphethwe bulepheru nakahlanjululwako, lokha nakalethwa kumphristi.+ 3 Umphristi uzokuphumela ngaphandle kwekampa ayomhlola. Nangabe umuntu obekaphethwe bulepheru loyo upholile, 4 umphristi uzomtjela bona alethe iinyoni ezimbili ezihlwengileko, isigodo somsedari, itjhila elibomvu be nehisopi bona azokuhlwengiswa.+ 5 Umphristi uzokuyala bona enye inyoni ibulawelwe emjekeni, emanzini agelezako. 6 Kodwana uzokuthatha enye inyoni ephilako, isigodo somsedari, itjhila elibomvu be! Nehisopi, afake izintwezi eengazini zenyoni ebulawelwe phezu kwamanzi agelezako. 7 Uzokufafaza iingazi kalikhomba emuntwini ohlanjululwa ekuguleni kobulepheru begodu uzokuthi uhlwengile. Uzokulisa inyoni ephilako iphaphele ngaphandle kwekampa.+

8 “Ozihlambululako kufuze ahlanze izambatho zakhe, agude zoke iinhluthu zakhe bekahlambe ngamanzi, uzokuhlwengeka. Ngemva kwalokho, angangena ekampeni kodwana uzokuhlala ngaphandle kwetendakhe amalanga alikhomba. 9 Ngelanga lekhomba uzokuguda zoke iinhluthu ezisehlokwakhe, ezisesilevini namatjhiyakhe. Ngemva kokuthi agude zoke iinhluthu zakhe, uzokuhlanza izambatho zakhe ngamanzi naye ahlambe, uzokuhlwengeka.

10 “Elangeni lobunane uzokuthatha amaramu amabili amancani aphile kuhle, imvana yinye encani esikazi enomnyaka ephile kuhle,+ iflowuru esefiweko yahlanganiswa namafutha emakhilogremu angaba mathathu nesiquntu bona ibe mnikelo weenthoro+ nesilinganiso sinye selogo* yamafutha.+ 11 Umphristi ozokuthi uhlwengile kufuze alethe umuntu ozihlambululako lo neminikelo phambi kwakaJehova ebungenweni betende lokuhlangana. 12 Umphristi uzokuthatha iramu linye elincani alinikele, libe mnikelo womlandu+ nesilinganiso selogo yamafutha, uzoziphephezelisa azise emuva naphambili, kube mnikelo ophephezeliswako phambi kwakaJehova.+ 13 Uzokuhlabela iramu elincani endaweni ekuhlatjelwa kiyo umnikelo wesono nomnikelo otjhiswako,+ endaweni ecwengileko ngombana njengomnikelo wesono, umnikelo womlandu ngewomphristi.+ Uyinto ecwengeke khulu.+

14 “Ngemva kwalokho, umphristi uzokuthatha ezinye iingazi zomnikelo womlandu azitjhatjhe endlebeni yangesidleni yomuntu ozihlambululako, atjhatjhe uthubhakghurwakhe wangesidleni nozwanakhe omkhulu wangesidleni. 15 Umphristi uzokuthatha amanye amafutha+ asesilinganisweni selogo, awathele esandleni sakhe sesinceleni. 16 Umphristi uzokufaka umunwakhe emafutheni asesandleni sakhe sangesinceleni, ngemva kwalokho afafaze amanye amafutha kalikhomba phambi kwakaJehova. 17 Umphristi uzokuthatha amafutha aseleko asesandleni sakhe, atjhatjhe indlebe yangesidleni yomuntu ozihlambululako, atjhatjhe uthubhakghurwakhe wangesidleni nozwanakhe omkhulu wangesidleni, phezu kwalapho atjhatjhe khona iingazi zomnikelo womlandu. 18 Umphristi uzokuthatha amafutha aseleko esandleni sakhe, awatjhatjhe ehloko yaloyo ozihlambululako bekamenzele umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono phambi kwakaJehova.+

19 “Umphristi uzokwenzela umuntu ozihlambululako umhlatjelo womnikelo wesono+ amenzele nomnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono, ngemva kwalokho uzokuhlaba umnikelo otjhiswako. 20 Umphristi uzokunikela umnikelo otjhiswako+ nomnikelo weenthoro e-aldareni bekamenzele umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono,+ umuntu loyo uzokuhlwengeka.+

21 “Nangabe utlhagile begodu akanalitho uzokuthatha iramu linye elincani lomnikelo womlandu libe mnikelo ophephezeliswako, bona azenzele umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono, iflowuru eyikhilogremu ehlanganiswe namafutha bona ibe mnikelo weenthoro, amafutha wesilinganiso selogo, 22 namajuba amabili wommango namkha amajuba amabili amancani afuywako, kuye ngokwalokho angakukghona. Elinye kuzokuba ngelomnikelo wesono, elinye kube ngelomnikelo otjhiswako.+ 23 Ngelanga lobunane,+ uzokuletha izintwezi kumphristi ebungenweni betende lokuhlangana phambi kwakaJehova bona kuqinisekiswe ukuhlwengeka kwakhe.+

24 “Umphristi uzokuthatha iramu elincani lomnikelo womlandu+ nesilinganiso selogo samafutha begodu umphristi uzoziphephezelisa azise emuva naphambili, kube mnikelo ophephezeliswako phambi kwakaJehova.+ 25 Uzokuhlaba iramu elincani lomnikelo womlandu, ngemva kwalokho umphristi uzokuthatha ezinye iingazi zomnikelo womlandu azitjhatjhe endlebeni yangesidleni yomuntu ozihlambululako, atjhatjhe uthubhakghurwakhe wangesidleni nozwanakhe omkhulu wangesidleni.+ 26 Umphristi uzokuthela amanye amafutha esandleni sakhe sangesinceleni,+ 27 uzokufafaza ngomunwakhe wangesidleni amanye amafutha asesandleni sakhe sangesinceleni kalikhomba phambi kwakaJehova. 28 Umphristi uzokuthatha amafutha asesandleni sakhe atjhatjhe indlebe yangesidleni yomuntu ozihlambululako, atjhatjhe uthubhakghurwakhe wangesidleni nozwanakhe omkhulu wangesidleni, phezu kwalapho atjhatjhe khona iingazi zomnikelo womlandu. 29 Umphristi uzokuthatha amafutha aseleko esandleni sakhe, awatjhatjhe ehloko yaloyo ozihlambululako, uzomenzela umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono phambi kwakaJehova.

30 “Uzokunikela ngelinye lamajuba wommango namkha ngelinye lamajuba amancani afuywako, kuye ngokwalokho angakukghona,+ 31 elinye kuzokuba ngelomnikelo wesono, elinye kube ngelomnikelo otjhiswako+ nomnikelo weenthoro. Umphristi uzokwenzela umuntu ozihlambululako umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono phambi kwakaJehova.+

32 “Lo mthetho ozokusebenza emuntwini obekanobulepheru onganazinto ezitlhogekako bona azozihlwengisa.”

33 UJehova wathi kuMosi no-Aroni: 34 “Nanifika enarheni yeKanana+ engizoninikela yona bona ibe lilifa,+ ngisilaphaze indlu esenarhenenu ngobulepheru,+ 35 umnikazi wendlu kufuze aye kumphristi athi, ‘Kunokusilaphala okuvelileko endlinami.’ 36 Umphristi uzokunikela umnikazi wendlu leyo iinqophiso zokobana ayihlwengise ngaphambi kokuthi eze azokuhlola ukusilaphala, ukwenzela bona nakafikako angathi yoke into engendlini isilaphele, ngemva kwalokho umphristi uzokuza azokuhlola indlu. 37 Uzokuhlola indawo esilapheleko, nangabe amaboda wendlu asilaphazwe mabala atjheli nokuhlaza kotjani namkha abomvana begodu abonakale angenelele khulu ebodeni, 38 ngemva kwalokho umphristi uzokuphuma ngendlini leyo bekayivale amalanga alikhomba.+

39 “Ngemva kwalokho umphristi uzokubuya ngelanga lekhomba azoyihlola. Nangabe ukusilaphala kusabalele emabodeni wendlu, 40 umphristi uzokuyala bona kukhutjhwe amatje asilapheleko, alahlelwe ngaphandle kwedorobho endaweni esilapheleko. 41 Umphristi uzokuyala bona indlu irhuhlisiswe ngaphakathi begodu nanyana yini esusiweko, kufuze ilahlelwe ngaphandle kwedorobho endaweni esilapheleko. 42 Ngemva kwalokho, bazokufaka amatje lapho bakhuphe khona amanye, uzokusebenzisa idaka elihlukileko bekasinde nendlu leyo.

43 “Nangabe ukusilaphala kubuyile godu endlini leyo ngemva kokuthi amatje akhutjhiwe, indlu yarhuhlisiswa kuhle beyasindwa ngobutjha, 44 umphristi uzokungena ayihlole. Nangabe ukusilaphala kusabalele endlini leyo, bulepheru obuthelelanako.+ Indlu leyo isilaphele. 45 Uzokuyala bona indlu leyo igirizwe, amatjayo, iingodo zayo nalo loke idaka lendlu leyo uzokuthi zilahlelwe ngaphandle kwedorobho endaweni esilapheleko.+ 46 Kodwana nanyana ngubani ongena ngendlini leyo ngamalanga lapho ivalwe khona,+ uzokusilaphala bekube sentambama,+ 47 nanyana ngubani olala ngendlini leyo, kufuze ahlanze izambatho zakhe begodu nanyana ngubani odlela ngakiyo kufuze ahlanze izambatho zakhe.

48 “Nangabe umphristi uyeza abone ukusilaphala kungakasabalali ngendlini leyo ngemva kokuthi isindwe kabutjha, uzokuthi indlu leyo ihlwengile ngombana ukusilaphalokha akusekho. 49 Bona ahlambulule indlu leyo, uzokuthatha iinyoni ezimbili, isigodo somsedari, itjhila elibomvu be nehisopi.+ 50 Kufuze abulalele enye inyoni ngemjekeni emanzini agelezako. 51 Ngemva kwalokho, uzokuthatha isigodo somsedari, ihisopi, itjhila elibomvu be nenyoni ephilako azifake eengazini zenyoni ehlatjiweko leya emanzini agelezako begodu uzokufafaza iingazezo kalikhomba endlini leyo.+ 52 Uzokuhlambulula indlu leyo ngeengazi zenyoni, amanzi agelezako, inyoni ephilako, isigodo somsedari, ihisopi netjhila elibomvu be. 53 Uzokulisa inyoni ephilako iphaphele ngaphandle kwedorobho endaweni evulekileko bese enzele indlu umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono begodu indlu leyo izokuhlwengeka.

54 “Lo mthetho omalungana nanyana ngikuphi ukugula kobulepheru, ukugula kwesikhumba sehloko namkha ukugula okuvela eendevini,+ 55 ubulepheru besambatho+ namkha bendlu,+ 56 ukuvuvuka esikhumbeni, isilonda esinesikhumba esomileko nebala elikhanyelako.+ 57 Khona nizakukghona ukubona lokha into nayisilapheleko nalokha nayihlwengileko.+ Lo mthetho omalungana nobulepheru.”+
