27 UJehova waraga wakhuluma noMosi, wathi: 2 “Khuluma nama-Israyeli uthi kiwo, ‘Nange umuntu enza isifungo esikhethekileko+ bona anikele ngomuntu kuJehova, okutjho bona abhadele imali umuntu loyo abekelwe yona, 3 inani elisilinganiso somuntu wembaji ohlangana neminyaka ema-20 ukuya kwema-60 kuzokuba matjhekeli* ama-50 wesiliva ngokwesilinganiso setjhekeli lendawo ecwengileko. 4 Kodwana nangabe mumuntu wengubo isilinganiso sizokuba matjhekeli ama-30. 5 Nangabe umuntu loyo uneminyaka emi-5 ukuya kwema-20, isilinganiso sendoda sizokuba matjhekeli ama-20, somuntu wengubo sibe matjhekeli ali-10. 6 Nangabe anenyanga yinye ukuya eminyakeni emihlanu ubudala, isilinganiso somsana sizokuba matjhekeli amahlanu wesiliva, isilinganiso somntazana sibe matjhekeli amathathu wesiliva.

7 “Nangabe uneminyaka ema-60 namkha ukuya ngaphezulu isilinganiso seqhegu kuzokuba matjhekeli ali-15, isilinganiso sesilukazi sibe matjhekeli ali-10. 8 Kodwana nangabe utlhage khulu begodu angeze akghone ukubhadela isilinganiso esibekiweko,+ uzokujama phambi komphristi, uzombekela isilinganiso esifaneleko. Umphristi uzokubekela umuntu owenza isifungo lo isilinganiso azokukghona ukusibhadela.+

9 “‘Nangabe isifungo sihlanganisa isilwana esifanele umnikelo oya kuJehova, nanyana yini enikelwa kuJehova kufuze icwengeke. 10 Akukafuzi ajamiselele namkha atjhugulule isilwana esiphile kuhle ngesingakaphili kuhle namkha esingakaphili kuhle ngesiphile kuhle. Kodwana nange atjhugulule esinye isilwana asijamiselele ngesinye, sokuthoma naleso okutjhugululwe ngaso zombili zizokucwengeka. 11 Nange kusilwana esingakahlwengeki,+ engeze kwanikelwa ngaso kuJehova uzokujamisa isilwaneso phambi komphristi. 12 Ngemva kwalokho, umphristi uzokubeka isilinganiso saso, kuye ngokuthi siphile kuhle namkha asikaphili kuhle. Isilinganiso esizokubekwa mphristi sizokuhlala sinjalo. 13 Kodwana nange afuna ukusithenga sibuye kube ngesakhe, kufuze abhadele isilinganiso esibekiweko, angezelele nengcenye yesihlanu yesilinganisweso.+

14 “‘Nange umuntu anikela ngendlu kuJehova bona ibe ngokuthileko okucwengileko, umphristi uzokubeka isilinganiso sayo, kuye ngokwalokho akubonako endlini leyo. Indlu leyo izokuthengiswa ngesilinganiso esibekwe mphristi.+ 15 Nange ocwengisa indlu afuna ukuyithenga ibe ngeyakhe godu, kufuze abhadele isilinganiso esibekiweko bekangezelele ingcenye yesihlanu yaso, ngemva kwalokho izokuba ngeyakhe.

16 “‘Nange umuntu acwengisa isimakhe kuJehova, isilinganiso sayo sizokulinganiswa ngokuthi kutlhogeka imbewu engangani bona kutjalwe. Ihomere* yembewu yebhali izokuba matjhekeli wesiliva ama-50. 17 Nangabe ucwengisa isimakhe kusukela ngomnyaka weJubili,+ isilinganiso esibekiweko sizokuhlala sinjalo. 18 Nangabe ucwengisa isimakhe ngemva kweJubili, umphristi uzombalela imali azoyibhadela kuye ngeminyaka eseleko ngaphambi kobana kube mnyaka weJubili elilandelako, ngemva kwalokho abeke isilinganiso esiphasi.+ 19 Nangabe oyicwengisileko uyayithenga godu, kufuze abhadele imali yesilinganiso esibekiweko angezelele nengcenye yesihlanu begodu izokuhlala ingeyakhe. 20 Nangabe akayithengi godu, ithengwe ngomunye umuntu, angekhe kusakghoneka bona ayithenge ibe ngeyakhe godu. 21 Lokha isimu nayitjhatjhululwako ngeJubili izokuba ngokucwengileko okuya kuJehova, izokuba yisimu enikelwe yena. Izokuba ngeyabaphristi.+

22 “‘Nange umuntu acwengisa kuJehova isimu ayithengileko engasiyingcenye yelifa lakhe,+ 23 umphristi uzokubala imali okufuze ayibhadele kuye ngeminyaka eseleko bekube liJubili, umuntu loyo uzokubhadela isilinganiso esibekiweko ngelangelo.+ Imali leyo icwengile kuJehova. 24 Ngomnyaka weJubili isimu leyo izokubuyela emuntwini ayithenge kuye, umnikazi wesimu.+

25 “‘Esinye nesinye isilinganiso kufuze sibekwe ngokwetjhekeli lendawo ecwengileko. Itjhekeli kufuze libe magera* ama-20.

26 “‘Akunamuntu okufuze acwengise izibulo lesilwana ngombana izibulo ngelakaJehova,+ kungaba likonyana namkha imvana ngombana ngelakaJehova.+ 27 Nangabe sihlangana neenlwana ezingakahlwengeki angasihlenga, ngokuya ngokwesilinganiso esibekiweko bekangezelele nengcenye yesihlanu+ kodwana nangabe akasithengi godu, sizokuthengiswa ngokuya ngokwesilinganiso esibekiweko.

28 “‘Akunanto enikelwe kuJehova bona itjhatjalaliswe, umuntu angayithengisa namkha ayithenge godu kungaba mumuntu, isilwana namkha isimakhe. Koke okunikelwe bona kutjhatjalaliswe kungokucwengeke khulu kuJehova.+ 29 Godu umuntu onikelwe bona atjhatjalaliswe akukafuzi ahlengwe.+ Kufuze abulawe.+

30 “‘Koke kwetjhumi+ kwenarha, kungaba sivuno namkha iinthelo zemithi kungekwakaJehova, kungokuthileko okucwengileko kwakaJehova. 31 Nange umuntu afuna ukuthenga godu nanyana yini yengcenyakhe yetjhumi, kufuze angezelele ingcenye yesihlanu. 32 Kwetjhumi komhlambi weenkomo namkha umhlambi wezimvu kufuze akunikele kuZimu. Lokha nakabala iinlwana,* umelusi kufuze abekele ngeqadi kwetjhumi okuya kuZimu. Koke kwetjhumi kweenlwana kungokuthileko okucwengileko kuJehova. 33 Akukafuzi ahlole bona isilwana siphile kuhle namkha asikaphili kuhle begodu akukafuzi asitjhentjhe. Nakangalinga ukusitjhugulula, zombili, sokuthoma naleso okutjhugululwa ngaso kufuze zibe ngokuthileko okucwengileko.+ Akukafuzi zithengwe godu.’”

34 Le miyalo uJehova ayinikela uMosi eNtabeni iSinayi+ bona ayidlulisele kuma-Israyeli.
