ULevi

12 UJehova waseqhubeka wathi kuMosi: 2 “Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nxa owesifazana angazithwala, abesebeletha umntwana ongumfana uzakuba ngongcolileyo okwamalanga ayisikhombisa, njengoba nje esiba ngongcolileyo ngamalanga akhe okuya esikhathini.+ 3 Ngelanga lesi-8 umntwana lo ozelweyo kumele asokwe.+ 4 Owesifazana uzaqhubeka ezihlambulula ekopheni kwakhe okwamalanga angu-33 alandelayo. Akumelanga athinte loba yini engcwele njalo akumelanga asondele endaweni engcwele amalanga okuhlanjululwa kwakhe aze aphele.

5 “‘Nxa angabeletha umntwana oyinkazana uzakuba ngongcolileyo okwamalanga angu-14, njengoba nje esiba ngongcolileyo ngamalanga akhe okuya esikhathini. Uzaqhubeka ezihlambulula ekopheni kwakhe okwamalanga angu-66 alandelayo. 6 Nxa amalanga akhe okuhlanjululwa esephelile kungelani lokuthi ngawomntwana ongumfana kumbe oyinkazana, owesifazana uzathatha imvana enduna elomnyaka owodwa ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa+ kanye lejuba loba umntwana wenkwilimba kube ngumnikelo wesono, akuhambise kumphristi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana. 7 Umphristi uzanikela izinto lezi phambi kukaJehova ukuze amhlawulele njalo uzakuba ngohlanzekileyo ekopheni kwakhe. Lo ngumthetho ophathelane lowesifazana obeletha umntwana ongumfana kumbe oyinkazana. 8 Nxa engenelisi ukunikela ngemvu kumele alethe amajuba amabili kumbe abantwana benkwilimba ababili,+ okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, okunye kube ngumnikelo wesono njalo umphristi uzamhlawulela, abesehlanjululwa.’”
