ULevi

11 UJehova wasesithi kuMosi lo-Aroni: 2 “Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Kuzo zonke inyamazana ezisemhlabeni, nanzi elingazidla:+ 3 Zonke inyamazana ezilamasondo ehlukeneyo, avuleke phakathi laphakathi futhi ezentshisayo lingazidla.

4 “‘Kodwa akumelanga lidle inyamazana ezilandelayo lanxa zisentshisa loba zilamasondo ehlukeneyo: Lingadli ikamela ngoba liyentshisa kodwa amasondo alo kawehlukananga. Lingcolile kini.+ 5 Lingadli imbila+ ngoba iyentshisa kodwa amasondo ayo kawehlukananga. Ingcolile kini. 6 Lomvundla akumelanga liwudle ngoba uyentshisa kodwa inyawo zawo azehlukananga. Ungcolile kini. 7 Lengulube+ lingayidli ngoba ilamasondo ehlukeneyo, avuleke phakathi laphakathi kodwa ayentshisi. Ingcolile kini. 8 Akumelanga lidle inyama yazo loba lithinte izidumbu zazo ngoba zingcolile kini.+

9 “‘Kukho konke okuhlala emanzini lingadla loba yini elempiko lamaxolo kungaba selwandle kumbe emifuleni.+ 10 Kodwa loba yiziphi izidalwa ezihlala elwandle lemifuleni ezingelampiko lamaxolo, phakathi kwazo zonke ezihamba zingamaqembu lezinye nje izidalwa ezihlala emanzini, ziyenyanyeka kini. 11 Kumele lizenyanye sibili, lingadli loba yiphi inyama yazo+ njalo kumele lenyanye lezidumbu zazo. 12 Konke okuhlala emanzini okungelampiko lamaxolo kumele likwenyanye.

13 “‘Nanzi inyoni okumele lizenyanye njalo lingazidli ngoba ziyenyanyeka. Lingadli ingqungqulu,+ lokhozi oludla inhlanzi, lelinqe elimnyama,+ 14 lomzwazwa obomvu, layo yonke imihlobo yomzwazwa omnyama, 15 layo yonke imihlobo yamawabayi, 16 lentshe, lesikhova, lendwandwe, layo yonke imihlobo yohelwane, 17 lomandukulo, letshayamanzi, lesikhova esilendlebe ezinde, 18 ledada elilentamo ende, lephelikheni,* lelinqe, 19 lengabuzane, layo yonke imihlobo yamalanda, lemvenduna kanye lomalulwane. 20 Zonke izibungu ezilempiko ezihamba zingamaqembu njalo ezilenyawo ezine zingcolile kini.

21 “‘Phakathi kwezibungu eziphaphayo ezihamba zingamaqembu njalo ezilenyawo ezine lingadla lezo ezilenyawo ezinde ezeqa ngazo emhlabathini. 22 Nanzi elingazidla: imihlobo yentethe ezihamba zingumtshitshi, lezinye intethe ezidliwayo,+ lenyekevu kanye lamabhombo. 23 Zonke ezinye izibungu ezihamba zingamaqembu njalo ezilenyawo ezine ziyenyanyeka kini. 24 Nxa lingazidla lizakuba ngabangcolileyo. Wonke umuntu othinta izinto lezi nxa zifile uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+ 25 Loba ngubani ozathwala izibungu lezi nxa sezifile kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe+ futhi uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.

26 “‘Yonke inyamazana elamasondo ehlukeneyo, angavulekanga phakathi laphakathi njalo engentshisiyo ingcolile kini. Loba ngubani oyithintayo uzakuba ngongcolileyo.+ 27 Zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezilenzipho enyaweni njalo ezihamba ngenyawo ezine zingcolile kini. Loba ngubani othinta izidumbu zazo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 28 Lowo ozathwala izidumbu zazo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe+ futhi uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe+ ngoba zingcolile kini.

29 “‘Nanzi izinanakazana ezisemhlabeni ezingcolileyo kini: imvukuzane,* legundwane,+ layo yonke imihlobo yempankwa, 30 lesihwarahwara,* legwababa, lontulo, lesiqhuza lonwabu. 31 Izinanakazana lezi zingcolile kini.+ Loba ngubani othinta izidumbu zazo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+

32 “‘Loba yini ezizawela kuyo nxa zisifa izakuba ngengcolileyo kungelani lokuthi yisitsha esenziwe ngesigodo, isigqoko, isikhumba, kumbe isaka. Loba yisiphi isitsha esisetshenziswayo eziwela kuso kumele sicwiliswe emanzini njalo sizakuba ngesingcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. Ngemva kwalokho siyabe sesihlanzekile. 33 Nxa zingawela embizeni yebumba kumele iphahlazwe. Loba yini ebiphakathi kwayo iyabe isingcolile.+ 34 Konke ukudla okuthelwa ngamanzi asembizeni leyo kuyabe sekungcolile futhi konke okunathwayo okuphakathi kwayo kuyabe sekungcolile. 35 Loba yini ewelwe yizinakazana lezi ezifileyo iyabe isingcolile kungaba yi-oveni kumbe iseko. Kumele kuphahlazwe ngoba kungcolile njalo kuzahlala kungcolile kini. 36 Nxa zingawela emthonjeni loba emgodini wamanzi uzaqhubeka uhlanzekile kodwa loba ngubani othinta izidumbu zazo uyabe esengcolile. 37 Nxa izidumbu zazo zingawela phezu kwenhlanyelo okumele ihlanyelwe, iyabe ihlanzekile. 38 Nxa kungathelwa amanzi phakathi kwenhlanyelo besekuwela ingxenye yemizimba yazo kuyo, inhlanyelo leyo iyabe isingcolile kini.

39 “‘Nxa inyamazana edliwayo ingazifela, loba ngubani othinta isidumbu sayo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+ 40 Wonke umuntu odla inyama yayo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.+ Loba ngubani othwala isidumbu sayo kumele awatshe izigqoko zakhe njalo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe. 41 Zonke izinanakazana ezihamba zingamaqembu ziyenyanyeka.+ Akumelanga lizidle. 42 Akumelanga lidle loba yisiphi isinanakazana esihuba ngesisu, lalezo ezihamba ngenyawo ezine kumbe lezo ezilenyawo ezinengi ezihamba zingamaqembu ngoba ziyenyanyeka.+ 43 Lingazenzi lenyanyeke ngokudla loba yiziphi izinanakazana ezihamba zingamaqembu njalo lingazingcolisi ngazo libe ngabangahlanzekanga.+ 44 NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu,+ kumele lizingcwelise libe ngcwele+ ngoba mina ngingcwele.+ Akumelanga lizingcolise ngokudla loba yiziphi izinanakazana ezisemhlabeni ezihamba zingamaqembu. 45 NginguJehova owalikhipha elizweni leGibhithe ukuze ngitshengise ukuthi nginguNkulunkulu wenu.+ Kumele libe ngcwele+ ngoba mina ngingcwele.+

46 “‘Lo ngumthetho ophathelane lezinyamazana, lezinyoni, lezidalwa zonke ezihlala emanzini, lazo zonke izinanakazana ezisemhlabeni ezihamba zingamaqembu, 47 ukuze kube lomehluko phakathi kwezingcolileyo lezihlanzekileyo laphakathi kwezidalwa eziphilayo ezingadliwa lalezo okungamelanga zidliwe.’”+
