25 Jehova waphindze wakhuluma naMosi eNtsabeni iSinayi watsi: 2 “Khuluma nema-Israyeli, utsi kuwo: ‘Nanifika eveni lengitaninika lona,+ kufanele nigcine umtsetfo waJehova welisabatha,+ ningawulimi umhlaba kulelo live. 3 Nitawulima emasimu enu niphindze nitsene netihlahla tenu temagilebisi iminyaka lesitfupha, nivune nemkhicito walelive.+ 4 Kodvwa ngemnyaka wesi-7, nibogcina umtsetfo waJehova welisabatha futsi ningawulimi sanhlobo umhlaba walelo live. Kufanele ningawalimi emasimu enu nobe nitsene tihlahla tenu temagilebisi. 5 Ningabokuvuna loko lokutimilele nasenivunile, ningawabutsi nemagilebisi etihlahla tenu letingakatsenwa. Lelive lingabolinywa sanhlobo kuloyo mnyaka. 6 Kodvwa ngalomnyaka welisabatha ningakudla loko lokutimilelako. Loku ningakudla nine netigcili netigcilikati tenu, kanye netisebenti tenu leticashiwe, nebantfu labahleti nani kwesikhashana, 7 kanye netilwane tenu letifuywako netilwane tesiganga letikulelive. Konkhe lelive lelitawutikhicitela kona ningakudla.
8 “‘Nitawubala iminyaka lengu-7 yelisabatha, lokuyiminyaka lengu-7 lephindvwe kangu-7. Seyiyonkhe itawuba yiminyaka lengu-49. 9 Ngemuva kwaloko, ngelilanga lesi-10 enyangeni yesi-7 niyawushaya luphondvo. Leli kutawube kuLilanga Lekubuyisana NaNkulunkulu,+ futsi umsindvo waloluphondvo kufanele uvakale kulo lonkhe live lenihlala kulo. 10 Umnyaka wesi-50 nibowenta ube ngcwele futsi nimemetele inkhululeko kubo bonkhe bantfu labahlala kulelive.+ Loyo kuyawuba nguMnyaka Wekukhululwa.* Ngamunye wenu uyawubuyela endzaweni yakhe nasemndenini wakhe.+ 11 Lomnyaka wesi-50 uyawuba nguMnyaka Wekukhululwa kini. Ningawalimi emasimu enu nobe nivune loko lokutimilele nasenivunile, ningawabutsi nemagilebisi etihlahla tenu letingakatsenwa.+ 12 Njengobe loyo mnyaka kunguMnyaka Wekukhululwa, uboba ngcwele kini. Ningadla kuphela loko lelive lelitatikhicitela kona.+
13 “‘KuloMnyaka Wekukhululwa, ngamunye wenu kufanele abuyele endzaweni yakhe.+ 14 Nangabe utsengisela umuntfu wakini intfo letsite nobe utsenga lokutsite kuye, ungasitakali ngaye.+ 15 Nawutsenga kumuntfu wakini, ubobala kutsi semingakhi iminyaka kwendlule uMnyaka Wekukhululwa, futsi naye kufanele abale kutsi mingakhi iminyaka yekulima lesele.+ 16 Nangabe kusesele iminyaka leminyenti, angayikhulisa lentsengo, kodvwa nangabe kusele iminyaka lembalwa kufanele ayehlise, ngobe usuke akutsengisela sivuno lesitawutfolakala kuleyo minyaka. 17 Kute kini lokufanele asitakale ngemuntfu wakubo.+ Nibomesaba Nkulunkulu wenu,+ ngobe mine nginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.+ 18 Nanilandzela imitsetfo yami niphindze nigcine nemiyalo yami, nitawuhlala ngekuthula kulelive.+ 19 Litanikhicitela kudla,+ futsi nitawukudla nitenetise, nihlale kulo ngekuthula.+
20 “‘Kungenteka nitibute nitsi: “Sitawudlani ngemnyaka wesi-7 nangabe singalimi futsi singavuni lutfo?”+ 21 Kodvwa ningesabi, mine ngitawuletsa sibusiso sami ngemnyaka wesitfupha, futsi lelive litawukhicita kudla lokutawenela iminyaka lemitsatfu.+ 22 Kutawutsi ngemnyaka wesi-8 nilime emasimu enu, futsi kutawuze kufike umnyaka wesi-9 nisadla lokusele kulenikuvune emnyakeni wesitfupha. Lokudla nitakudla kuze kufike sikhatsi sekuvuna.
23 “‘Indzawo ningaboyitsengisa liwonkhe,+ ngobe lelive ngelami.+ Emehlweni ami, nine nitihambi nebantfu labahleti kwesikhashana.+ 24 Kuyo yonkhe indzawo lenihlala kuyo kufanele bantfu babe nelilungelo lekutsi nabatsengise umhlaba baphindze bawutsenge kuze ubuyele kubo.
25 “‘Nangabe umuntfu wakini eswele bese utsengisa indzawo yakhe, sihlobo sakhe sengati kufanele siphindze siyitsenge lendzawo layitsengisile kuze ibuyele kuye.+ 26 Nangabe ete sihlobo lesingaphindze siyitsenge, kodvwa yena bese uyandlondlobala, futsi akhone kuphindze ayitsenge, 27 kufanele abale umehluko wemali labeyitsengise ngayo neyesivuno lesitfolakele kuyo kusukela ayitsengisa, bese ubhadala leyo mali. Ngemuva kwaloko angabuyela endzaweni yakhe.+
28 “‘Kodvwa nangabe angakhoni kuyitsenga kuze ibuyele kuye, leyo ndzawo layitsengisile itawuchubeka iyaloyo lamtsengisele kuze kufike uMnyaka Wekukhululwa.+ Ngalowo mnyaka lendzawo itawubuyiselwa kuye, bese naye ubuyela kuyo.+
29 “‘Nakwenteka umuntfu atsengisa likhaya lelisedolobheni lelibiyelwe, lilungelo lakhe lekuphindze alitsenge litawuchubeka likhona kusukela ngesikhatsi lalitsengise ngaso kuze kuphele umnyaka alitsengisile. Ngako lelilungelo litawuba lemnyaka wonkhe.+ 30 Kepha nangabe lomuntfu angalitsengi uze uphele wonkhe lomnyaka, lelikhaya selitawuhlala liyindzawo yaloyo lolitsengile kuto tonkhe titukulwane takhe. NgeMnyaka Wekukhululwa, akukafaneli libuyiselwe kuloyo lebelitsengwe kuye. 31 Kodvwa-ke emakhaya lasetindzaweni letingakabiyelwa abotsatfwa njengencenye yendzawo levulekile. Lilungelo lekutsi loyo lolitsengisile aphindze alitsenge litawuhlale likhona, futsi ngeMnyaka Wekukhululwa, lelikhaya kufanele libuyiselwe kuloyo lebelitsengwe kuye.
32 “‘Nangabe emaLevi atsengisa emakhaya awo langekhatsi emadolobheni awo,+ atawuhlale analo njalo lilungelo lekuphindze awatsenge. 33 Nangabe indzawo lebeyitsengiswe ngemaLevi ingakaphindzi yatsengwa kuze ibuyele kuwo, leyo ndzawo kufanele ibuyiselwe kuwo ngeMnyaka Wekukhululwa,+ ngobe emkhatsini webantfu baka-Israyeli, tindlu letisemadolobheni emaLevi tiyimphahla yawo.+ 34 Ngetulu kwaloko, tindzawo letivulekile+ letiseceleni kwemadolobha awo akukafaneli titsengiswe, ngobe tiyawuhlala tiyimphahla yawo.
35 “‘Nangabe umuntfu wakini lohlala edvute nawe eswele futsi angakhoni nekutisekela, ubomsita+ ngendlela lebewungasita ngayo sihambi nemuntfu lohleti kwesikhashana kulelive,+ kuze achubeke aphila. 36 Ungafuni intalo kuye nobe wente inzuzo* ngaye.+ Ubowesaba Nkulunkulu wakho,+ futsi ngaleyo ndlela umuntfu wakini utawuchubeka aphila kanye nawe. 37 Ungafuni intalo nawumboleke imali, nobe umuphe kudla kuze utfole inzuzo.+ 38 NginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, lowanikhipha eveni laseGibhithe+ kuze ngininike live laseKhenani, ngikhombise nekutsi nginguNkulunkulu wenu.+
39 “‘Nangabe umuntfu wakini lohlala edvute nawe eswele bese utiletsa kuwe kuze umtsenge,+ akukafaneli umsebentise kwesigcili.+ 40 Ubomphatsa njengesisebenti lesicashiwe+ nobe umuntfu lohleti kwesikhashana kulelive. Utakusebentela kuze kufike uMnyaka Wekukhululwa. 41 Ngaloyo mnyaka uyawuhamba akanye nebantfwana* bakhe, abuyele emndenini wakubo. Kufanele abuyele ayohlala endzaweni yabokhokho bakhe.+ 42 Ema-Israyeli atigcili tami lengatikhipha eveni laseGibhithe.+ Ngako akukafaneli atitsengise ngendlela sigcili lesitsengiswa ngayo. 43 Ungabomphatsa kabi lomuntfu wakini,+ futsi kufanele wesabe Nkulunkulu wakho.+ 44 Labo labangaba tigcili netigcilikati takho ubobatsatsa etiveni letisedvute nawe. Ngako kukuleto tive lapho ungatsenga khona tigcili netigcilikati. 45 Tigcili ungatitsenga nasemadvodzaneni ebantfu labahleti kwesikhashana eveni lenu+ kanye nasemindenini yawo letalelwe kulelive, futsi letigcili titawuba yimphahla yakho. 46 Letigcili ungatendlulisela kumadvodzana akho kutsi tibe lifa futsi tihlale tiyimphahla yawo. Tingaba tisebenti takho, kodvwa akukafaneli umphatse kabi umuntfu wakini longum-Israyeli.+
47 “‘Nakwenteka umuntfu losihambi nobe lohleti kwesikhashana eveni lenu anjinga, futsi umuntfu wakini yena eswele, bese kudzingeka kutsi atinikele kuze atsengwe ngulomuntfu losihambi nobe lohleti kwesikhashana, nobe atsengwe lilunga lemndeni waloyo muntfu, 48 lomuntfu wakini uyawuhlale anelilungelo lekuphindze atitsenge. Lomunye kubanakabo naye angaphindze amtsenge.+ 49 Angatsengwa nangumnakabobabe wakhe nobe yindvodzana yemnakabobabe wakhe, nobe atsengwe ngulesinye sihlobo sakhe sengati lesisasemndenini wakhe.
“‘Nangabe naye sekandlondlobele, angaphindze atitsenge.+ 50 Ngemnyaka lomuntfu latsengwa ngawo, kufanele avumelane naloyo lomtsengako mayelana nesikhatsi latasicitsa kuze kufike uMnyaka Wekukhululwa,+ futsi imali latawutsengwa ngayo kufanele ihambisane naleso sikhatsi.+ Imali yemalanga lawasebentile iyawulingana neyesisebenti lesicashiwe.+ 51 Nangabe kusasele iminyaka leminyenti kutsi kufike uMnyaka Wekukhululwa, kufanele akhokhe imali latsengwa ngayo lehambisana naleyo minyaka lesele. 52 Kodvwa nangabe sekusele iminyaka lembalwa kutsi kufike uMnyaka Wekukhululwa, utawubala imali lokudzingeka ayikhokhe kuze akhululeke futsi kufanele ihambisane naleyo minyaka lesele. 53 Yingci nje nakasengaphansi kwalomuntfu lomtsengile, uyawuchubeka umnyaka nemnyaka asisebenti sakhe lesicashiwe, futsi kufanele nigadze kutsi angaphatfwa kabi.+ 54 Kodvwa-ke nakangakhoni kuphindze atitsenge, utawukhululeka ngeMnyaka Wekukhululwa,+ yena kanye nebantfwana* bakhe.
55 “‘Ema-Israyeli atigcili tami lengatikhipha eveni laseGibhithe.+ NginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.
