Lomuntfu kufanele ashaywe imivimba lelingana nebubi labentile. 3 Lomehluleli angamshaya imivimba lengu-40,+ kodvwa angendluli kuyo. Nakangamshaya imivimba lengetulu kwaleyo, lomuntfu wakini utawuhlazeka embikwenu.

5 “Nangabe bantfu bandzawonye bakhelene bese lona lomunye uyafa ete indvodzana, umfati wakhe kufanele angatsatfwa ngumuntfu longasiye wakulomndeni.

Akafuni kungingena.’ 8 Lamadvodza lamadzala akulelidolobha aboyibita lendvodza akhulume nayo. Nangabe vele iphikelela itsi: ‘Angifuni kumtsatsa,’ 9 lomfelokati wemnakabo kufanele ete kuyo embikwalamadvodza lamadzala, ayikhumule incabule+ futsi ayikhafunele ebusweni, atsi: ‘Naku-ke lokufanele kwentiwe kumuntfu longafuni kwakha indlu yemnakabo.’ 10 Ngemuva kwaloko, umndeni* walendvodza ka-Israyeli utakwatiwa ngekutsi: ‘Yindlu yaloyo lowakhunyulwa incabule.’
