14 Jehova wachubeka wakhuluma naMosi watsi: 2 “Lona ngumtsetfo lomayelana nemuntfu lonebulephelo lokufanele ulandzelwe ngelilanga latawuletfwa ngalo kumphristi kuze kushiwo kutsi uhlantekile.+ 3 Umphristi utawuya ngaphandle kwendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo, ahlole lomuntfu. Nangabe lomuntfu asaphilile kulobulephelo, 4 umphristi utamtjela kutsi aletse tinyoni letimbili letihlantekile futsi letiphilako, aletse nesigodvo semsedari, indvwangu lebovu kanye nehisophu* kuze atewuhlanjululwa.+ 5 Lomphristi utawukhipha sicondziso sekutsi yinye yaletinyoni ibulawelwe esitjeni selubumba lesinemanti lakhiwe esiyalwini. 6 Utawutsatsa lelenye inyoni lephilako kanye nalesigodvo semsedari, nalendvwangu lebovu nehisophu, akwenye kanye kanye kulengati yalenyoni lebulawelwe kulamanti lakhiwe esiyalwini. 7 Ngemuva kwaloko utamfafata ngayo kangu-7 lomuntfu lohlanjululwa esifeni sebulephelo, asho nekutsi uhlantekile. Utawubese ukhulula lenyoni lephilako, itindizele iye esigangeni.+

8 “Lomuntfu lohlanjululwako kufanele awashe tingubo takhe, ahhule tonkhe tinwele futsi ageze ngemanti, ngemuva kwaloko utawuba ngulohlantekile. Nasacedzile, sekangeta endzaweni lokuhlalwa kuyo, kodvwa utawuhlala ngephandle kwelithende lakhe emalanga langu-7. 9 Ngelilanga lesi-7 kufanele ahhule tonkhe tinwele letisenhloko, ahhule nesilevu nemashiya akhe. Nasahhulile utawubese uwasha tingubo takhe aphindze ageze ngemanti, ngemuva kwaloko utawuba ngulohlantekile.

10 “Ngelilanga lesi-8, lomuntfu utawutsatsa timvu letimbili letindvuna letisetincane futsi letiphile kahle, atsatse nemvu lensikati+ lenemnyaka munye, nayo lephile kahle, nafulaha locolisakele logcwele esikoteleni lesingemalitha langaba ngu-7* futsi lobhicwe nemafutsa, lokutawuba ngumnikelo walokutinhlavu,+ kanye nemafutsa langetudlwana kwekota yelitha.*+ 11 Umphristi lomhlambululile utawuletsa lomuntfu kanye naleminikelo embikwaJehova emnyango welithende lekuhlangana. 12 Lomphristi utawutsatsa yinye kuletimvu letindvuna, anikele ngayo ibe ngumnikelo welicala+ kanye nalamafutsa langetudlwana kwekota yelitha. Utakujikitisa kube ngumnikelo lojikitiswako embikwaJehova.+ 13 Utawutsatsa lelenye imvu ayihlabele endzaweni lengcwele, lapho kuhlale kuhlatjelwa khona umnikelo wesono kanye nemnikelo wekushiswa,+ ngobe lomnikelo welicala uba wemphristi njengobe kunjalo nangemnikelo wesono.+ Lomnikelo ungcwele ngelizinga leliphakeme.+

14 “Umphristi utawubese utsatsa lenye yengati yalomnikelo welicala, ayibhoce encenyeni lengephansi yendlebe yangesekudla yalomuntfu lohlanjululwako, nasesitfupheni salomuntfu sangesekudla kanye nakubhozo wakhe wangesekudla. 15 Lomphristi utawutsatsa lamanye alamafutsa langetudlwana kwekota yelitha,+ awatsele esandleni sakhe sangesencele. 16 Utawubese wenya umunwe wakhe wangesekudla kulamafutsa lasesandleni sakhe sangesencele futsi antfontsise lamanye alamafutsa ngemuno tikhatsi letingu-7 embikwaJehova. 17 Lomphristi utawutsatsa lamanye alamafutsa lasele lasesandleni sakhe, awabhoce encenyeni lengephansi yendlebe yangesekudla yalomuntfu lohlanjululwako, nasesitfupheni salomuntfu sangesekudla kanye nakubhozo wakhe wangesekudla, etikwalapho kubhocwe khona ingati yemnikelo welicala. 18 Lomphristi utawubese utsatsa lamafutsa lasele lasesandleni sakhe awabhoce enhloko yalomuntfu lohlanjululwako, futsi loku utawukwenta embikwaJehova kuze lomuntfu abuyisane naNkulunkulu.+

19 “Umphristi utawunikela ngalomnikelo wesono,+ ente kutsi lomuntfu lohlanjululwako ekungcoleni kwakhe abuyisane naNkulunkulu. Ngemuva kwaloko utawubese uhlaba silwane lesitawuba ngumnikelo wekushiswa. 20 Utawunikela lomnikelo wekushiswa kanye nemnikelo walokutinhlavu+ e-al’thare kuze ente kutsi lomuntfu abuyisane naNkulunkulu,+ ngemuva kwaloko utawuba ngulohlantekile.+

21 “Kodvwa-ke nangabe lomuntfu eswele futsi angeke akhone kuletsa letintfo letidzingekako, kufanele aletse imvu lendvuna leseyincane ibe yinye, letawuba ngumnikelo welicala lotawujikitiswa, kuze atewubuyisana naNkulunkulu. Utawuletsa nafulaha locolisakele logcwele esikoteleni lesingemalitha lamabili* futsi lobhicwe nemafutsa kuze kube ngumnikelo walokutinhlavu, nemafutsa langetudlwana kwekota yelitha, 22 kanye nematuba lamabili nobe emazini emavukutfu lamabili, kuye ngekutsi yini layikhonako. Linye litawuba ngumnikelo wesono, lelelinye libe ngumnikelo wekushiswa.+ 23 Ngelilanga lesi-8,+ utawuletsa letintfo kumphristi emnyango welithende lekuhlangana embikwaJehova, kuze umphristi asho kutsi lomuntfu uhlantekile.+

24 “Lomphristi utawutsatsa lemvu lendvuna leseyincane lengumnikelo welicala+ kanye nalamafutsa langetudlwana kwekota yelitha akujikitise, kube ngumnikelo lojikitiswako embikwaJehova.+ 25 Utawubulala lemvu lengumnikelo welicala, bese utsatsa lenye yengati yalomnikelo welicala ayibhoce encenyeni lengephansi yendlebe yangesekudla yalomuntfu lohlanjululwako, nasesitfupheni sangesekudla kanye nakubhozo walomuntfu wangesekudla.+ 26 Lomphristi utawutsela lamanye alamafutsa esandleni sakhe sangesencele,+ 27 futsi antfontsise lamanye awo ngemuno wakhe wangesekudla tikhatsi letingu-7 embikwaJehova. 28 Lomphristi utawubese utsatsa lamanye alamafutsa lasesandleni sakhe, awabhoce encenyeni lengephansi yendlebe yangesekudla yalomuntfu lohlanjululwako, nasesitfupheni salomuntfu sangesekudla kanye nakubhozo wakhe wangesekudla, etikwalapho kubhocwe khona ingati yemnikelo welicala. 29 Utawutsatsa lamafutsa lasele lasesandleni sakhe awabhoce enhloko yalomuntfu lohlanjululwako, futsi loku utawukwenta embikwaJehova kuze lomuntfu abuyisane naNkulunkulu.

30 “Lomphristi utawutsatsa lamatuba nobe lamazini emavukutfu anikele ngawo, kuye ngaloko lomuntfu lakukhonako.+ 31 Linye kulawo lomuntfu lakhone kuwaletsa litawuba ngumnikelo wesono, lelelinye libe ngumnikelo wekushiswa,+ lihambe nemnikelo walokutinhlavu. Umphristi utawukwenta loku embikwaJehova kuze lomuntfu lohlanjululwako abuyisane naNkulunkulu.+

32 “Lona-ke ngumtsetfo lomayelana nemuntfu lonebulephelo kodvwa longakhoni kuletsa kumphristi loko lokudzingekako, kuze kutsiwe uhlantekile.”

33 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi na-Aroni: 34 “Nanifika eveni laseKhenani,+ live lengitaninika lona kutsi libe lenu,+ futsi kwenteke kutsi ngivumele bulephelo buhlasele indlu letsite kulelo live,+ 35 umnikati wayo kufanele ete kumphristi, atsi: ‘Kunelibala elubondzeni lwendlu yami, futsi libonakala ngatsi bulephelo.’ 36 Lomphristi utawukhipha sicondziso sekutsi kukhishwe tonkhe tintfo letikulendlu ngaphambikwekutsi ete kutohlola lelibala lelivelile, kuze angafiki atsi tonkhe tintfo letikulendlu tingcolile. Nasetikhishiwe, umphristi utawukuta ateyihlola. 37 Utawufike ahlole lendzawo lenalelibala. Nangabe lelibala lelikulolubondza lwalendlu limtfubi sakuba luhlata nobe libovana futsi lingena ekhatsi kulolubondza, 38 lomphristi utawukuya emnyango walendlu, ayivale emalanga langu-7.+

39 “Utawuphindze abuye ngelilanga lesi-7 ateyihlola. Nangabe lelibala selandzile kulolubondza lwalendlu, 40 lomphristi utawukhipha sicondziso sekutsi lamatje lanalelibala akhishwe alahlwe ngephandle kwalapho kuhlalwa khona, endzaweni lapho kulahlwa khona tintfo letingakahlanteki. 41 Ngemuva kwaloko lubondza lwalendlu lutawuhwayisiswa ngekhatsi, bese kutsi lonkhe loludzaka loluhwayiwe lulahlwe ngephandle kwalapho kuhlalwa khona, endzaweni lapho kulahlwa khona tintfo letingakahlanteki. 42 Batawubese bafaka lamanye ematje kuletindzawo labakhiphe kuto lawo lebekanelibala. Kufanele kusetjentiswe ludzaka lolusha futsi lendlu ihucwe.

43 “Kodvwa nangabe kuphindza kuba nelibala lebulephelo kulendlu ngemuva kwekutsi kukhishwe lamatje futsi lendlu yahwaywa yaphindze yahucwa, 44 umphristi utawungena ngekhatsi kuyo ayihlole. Nangabe lelibala lebulephelo selandzile kulendlu, lendlu isuke inesifo sebulephelo lesibi,+ ngako ingcolile. 45 Utawubese ukhipha sicondziso sekutsi lendlu idzilitwe, kudzilitwe ematje ayo, tingodvo tayo, nalo lonkhe ludzaka lwayo. Konkhe loku kutawutsatfwa kuyewulahlwa ngephandle kwalapho kuhlalwa khona, endzaweni lapho kulahlwa khona tintfo letingakahlanteki.+ 46 Kodvwa nobe ngubani longena kulendlu kulamalanga lesuke ivalwe ngawo+ utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe,+ 47 futsi nobe ngubani lolala kuyo kufanele awashe tingubo takhe, nanobe ngubani lodlela kuyo naye kufanele awashe tingubo takhe.

48 “Kodvwa-ke nangabe umphristi angena kulendlu, futsi atfole kutsi lelibala lebulephelo alikandzi ngemuva kwekutsi lendlu ihucwe kabusha, lomphristi utawubese uyasho kutsi lendlu ihlantekile, ngobe lelibala lebulephelo liphelile. 49 Kuze ahlambulule lendlu kulokungcola* kwayo, utawutsatsa tinyoni letimbili, sigodvo semsedari, indvwangu lebovu, kanye nehisophu.+ 50 Kufanele atsatse yinye yaletinyoni ayibulalele esitjeni selubumba lesinemanti lakhiwe esiyalwini. 51 Utawubese utsatsa lesigodvo semsedari, ihisophu, lendvwangu lebovu kanye nalenyoni lephilako, akwenye kulengati yalenyoni lebulewe kanye nakulamanti lakhiwe esiyalwini, ngemuva kwaloko afafate ngakulendlu tikhatsi letingu-7.+ 52 Utawusebentisa lengati yalenyoni, lamanti lakhiwe esiyalwini, lenyoni lephilako, sigodvo semsedari, ihisophu kanye nalendvwangu lebovu kuze ahlambulule lendlu kulokungcola.* 53 Nasacedzile utawukhulula lenyoni lephilako, indize iye esigangeni, ngephandle kwalendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo. Ngaleyo ndlela utawususa kungcola kwalendlu,* ibe ngulehlantekile.

54 “Lona-ke ngumtsetfo lomayelana nanobe ngubuphi bulephelo, silondza lesisenhloko nobe esilevini,+ 55 bulephelo lobusengutjeni+ nobe endlini,+ 56 nalomayelana nekuvuvuka, tilondza, kanye nemabala,+ 57 kuze kutfolakale kutsi kunini lapho kungase kutsiwe intfo ingcolile nobe ihlantekile.+ Ngulona-ke umtsetfo lomayelana nebulephelo.”+
