ULevi

15 UJehova waqhubeka ekhuluma loMosi lo-Aroni wathi: 2 “Khuluma labako-Israyeli uthi kubo, ‘Nxa indoda iphuma ubomvu esithweni sayo sensitha, iyabe isingcolile ngenxa yalokho.+ 3 Iyabe ingcolile ngenxa yobomvu obuphuma esithweni sayo kungelani lokuthi buqhubeka buphuma kumbe abusaphumi, ingcolile.

4 “‘Loba yiwuphi umbheda indoda ephuma ubomvu elala kuwo uzakuba ngongcolileyo futhi loba yini ezahlala phezu kwayo izakuba ngengcolileyo. 5 Umuntu ozathinta umbheda wayo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi futhi uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+ 6 Loba ngubani ozahlala phezu kwalokho okuke kwahlalwa yindoda ephuma ubomvu kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 7 Loba ngubani othinta indoda leyo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 8 Nxa indoda ephuma ubomvu ingakhafulela umuntu ohlanzekileyo, umuntu lowo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 9 Loba yisiphi isihlalo esifakwa phezu kwesifuyo ezahlala kuso sizakuba ngesingcolileyo. 10 Loba ngubani othinta loba yini ebingaphansi kwayo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe futhi loba ngubani ozathwala izinto lezo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 11 Nxa indoda ephuma ubomvu+ ingathinta omunye umuntu ingagezanga izandla, umuntu lowo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 12 Loba yisiphi isitsha esenziwe ngebumba esizathintwa yindoda leyo kumele siphahlazwe. Nxa ingathinta esenziwe ngesigodo kumele sigeziswe ngamanzi.+

13 “‘Nxa isipholile ubomvu bungasaphumi, izabala amalanga ayisikhombisa okuhlanjululwa kwayo njalo kumele iwatshe izigqoko zayo, igeze ngamanzi agelezayo njalo izakuba ngehlanzekileyo.+ 14 Ngelanga lesi-8 kumele ithathe amajuba amabili loba abantwana benkwilimba ababili+ iye lakho phambi kukaJehova emnyango wetende lokuhlangana ikunike umphristi. 15 Umphristi uzanikela izinto lezi, okunye kube ngumnikelo wesono, okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa njalo umphristi uzayihlawulela phambi kukaJehova ngenxa yobomvu obuphuma kuyo.

16 “‘Nxa indoda ingaphuma ubudoda kumele igeze ngamanzi umzimba wonke njalo izakuba ngengcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+ 17 Kumele iwatshe loba yisiphi isigqoko loba isikhumba esilobudoda futhi lokhu kuzakuba ngokungcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.

18 “‘Nxa indoda ingaya emacansini lowesifazana ibisiphuma ubudoda, bobabili kumele bageze ngamanzi njalo bazakuba ngabangcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+

19 “‘Nxa owesifazana esopha ngenxa yokuthi usesikhathini uzakuba ngongcolileyo okwamalanga ayisikhombisa.+ Loba ngubani ozamthinta uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+ 20 Loba yini alala kuyo nxa esesikhathini izakuba ngengcolileyo njalo yonke into ahlala phezu kwayo izakuba ngengcolileyo.+ 21 Loba ngubani othinta umbheda wakhe kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 22 Loba ngubani othinta loba yini abehlezi phezu kwayo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 23 Nxa ebehlezi embhedeni loba phezu kwenye into, lowo ozakuthinta lokhu uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+ 24 Nxa indoda ingalala lowesifazana lo ibisithinta ukungcola kwakhe+ okubangelwa yikuba sesikhathini, izakuba ngengcolileyo okwamalanga ayisikhombisa futhi loba yiwuphi umbheda elala phezu kwawo uzakuba ngongcolileyo.

25 “‘Nxa owesifazana engopha okwamalanga amanengi+ kungasiwo malanga akhe okuya esikhathini,+ kumbe nxa engopha ukwedlula isikhathi sakhe sokuya esikhathini, uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuwo wonke amalanga okopha kwakhe, njengalokhu okwenzakala ngamalanga akhe okuya esikhathini. 26 Loba yiwuphi umbheda alala kuwo ngamalanga okopha kwakhe uzakuba ngongcolileyo njengombheda alala kuwo nxa esesikhathini+ futhi loba yiphi into ahlala kuyo izakuba ngengcolileyo njengalokho okwenzakala nxa esesikhathini. 27 Loba ngubani omthintayo uzakuba ngongcolileyo futhi kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe, ageze ngamanzi njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+

28 “‘Nxa ukopha kwakhe sekuphelile kumele abale amalanga ayisikhombisa, ngemva kwalokho uzakuba ngohlanzekileyo.+ 29 Ngelanga lesi-8 kumele athathe amajuba amabili kumbe abantwana benkwilimba ababili+ aye lakho kumphristi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana.+ 30 Umphristi uzathatha okunye kube ngumnikelo wesono, okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa njalo uzamhlawulela phambi kukaJehova ngenxa yokopha kwakhe.+

31 “‘Kumele uncede abako-Israyeli ukuthi bahlale behlanzekile ukuze bangafi ngenxa yokungcolisa ithabanikeli lami eliphakathi kwabo.+

32 “‘Lo ngumthetho ophathelane lendoda ephuma ubomvu esithweni sensitha, lendoda engcoliswe yikuphuma ubudoda,+ 33 lowesifazana osesikhathini,+ laye wonke owesifazana owophayo loba owesilisa ophuma okuthile okungcolileyo+ kanye lendoda elala lowesifazana ongcolileyo.’”
