Levithikhusi
24 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi, watsi: 2 “Tjela ema-Israyeli kutsi aletse emafutsa emncumo lacengekile latawusetjentiselwa kukhanyisa tibane, kuze tihlale tikhanya.+ 3 Njalo kusihlwa, Aroni utawukhanyisa tibane letisembikwendvwangu lengasebhokisini lesivumelwane ethendeni lekuhlangana, aciniseke nekutsi tihlala tikhanya embikwaJehova kuze kube sekuseni. Lona ngumtsetfo lotawuhlala njalo kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu. 4 Ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi kufanele atibeke kahle letibane+ embikwaJehova, kulolutsi lwesibane lolwentiwe ngeligolide.
5 “Kufanele utsatse fulaha locolisakele, ubhake tinkhwa letiyindingilizi letingu-12. Sinkhwa ngasinye sibokwentiwa ngafulaha logcwele esikoteleni lesingemalitha langaba sihlanu.* 6 Utawutibeka embikwaJehova etafuleni lelentiwe ngeligolide lelicengekile, tibe titaki letimbili, sitaki ngasinye sibe netinkhwa+ letisitfupha.+ 7 Ubobeka emakha lahlantekile esihlahla semphepho etikwesitaki ngasinye. Lamakha atawumelela* lesinkhwa, abe ngumnikelo+ lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova. 8 Njalo ngeliSabatha, lesinkhwa kufanele sibekwe embikwaJehova.+ Lesi sivumelwane lesitawuhlala njalo emkhatsini wami nema-Israyeli. 9 Lesinkhwa sitawuba sa-Aroni nemadvodzana akhe.+ Kufanele basidlele endzaweni lengcwele,+ ngobe siyintfo lengcwele ngelizinga leliphakeme kumphristi futsi sitsetfwe eminikelweni leya kuJehova leyentiwa ngemlilo. Lona ngumtsetfo lotawuhlala njalo.”
10 Kuma-Israyeli, bekunendvodza lebeyitalwa ngumfati longum-Israyeli, babe wayo angumGibhithe.+ Lendvodza yalwa nalenye indvodza lengum-Israyeli endzaweni lebekuhlalwa kuyo. 11 Yahlambalata libito laNkulunkulu futsi yalicalekisa,+ ngako yaletfwa kuMosi.+ Make wayo bekunguShelomithi, indvodzakati yaDibri wesive sakaDani. 12 Bayivalela kwaze kwaba ngulapho Jehova abacacisela kutsi kufanele bente njani.+
13 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi: 14 “Mkhipheleni ngephandle lomuntfu localekise libito lami, futsi bonkhe labamvile kufanele babeke tandla tabo enhloko yakhe, ngemuva kwaloko sonkhe lesive kufanele simgcobe ngematje.+ 15 Ubotjela ema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Nangabe umuntfu acalekisa Nkulunkulu, utawuphendvula ngenca yesono sakhe. 16 Umuntfu lohlambalata libito laJehova nakanjani kufanele abulawe.+ Sonkhe sive sibomgcoba ngematje. Umuntfu losihambi lohlambalata libito laNkulunkulu abobulawa, njengobe nje nem-Israyeli lolihlambalatako naye abulawa.
17 “‘Nangabe umuntfu abulala lomunye, naye kufanele abulawe.+ 18 Nobe ngubani loshaya silwane lesifuywako asibulale* kufanele asibhadale, kwenanwe kuphila ngekuphila. 19 Nakwenteka umuntfu alimate lomunye umuntfu, loko lakwentile kubokwentiwa nakuye.+ 20 Kwephuka ngekwephuka, liso ngeliso, litinyo ngelitinyo. Naye kufanele alinyatwe ngendlela lalimete ngayo lona lomunye.+ 21 Umuntfu loshaya silwane asibulale kufanele asibhadale,+ kodvwa loyo loshaya umuntfu ambulale, naye abobulawa.+
22 “‘Kutawusebenta umtsetfo lofananako, kungaba kumuntfu losihambi nobe kum-Israyeli,+ ngobe nginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.’”
23 Ngemuva kwaloko Mosi wakhuluma nema-Israyeli, futsi amkhiphela ngaphandle lomuntfu localekise libito laNkulunkulu, abese amgcoba ngematje.+ Ngako ema-Israyeli enta njengobe nje Jehova abetjele Mosi.
