12 Jehova wachubeka wakhuluma naMosi, watsi: 2 “Naku lotakutjela ema-Israyeli: ‘Nangabe umfati akhulelwa bese ubeleka umntfwana wemfana, utawuba ngulongcolile emalanga langu-7 njengalapho asesikhatsini.+ 3 Ngelilanga lesi-8, loluswane lutawusokwa.+ 4 Emalangeni langu-33 lalandzelako, lomake utawuchubeka atihlambulula ekopheni kwakhe. Akukafaneli atsintse nome yini lengcwele, futsi kufanele angeti endzaweni lengcwele kuze kube ngulapho kuphela emalanga akhe ekutihlambulula.

5 “‘Nangabe abeleka umntfwana wentfombatane, utawuba ngulongcolile emalanga langu-14 njengalapho asesikhatsini. Emalangeni langu-66 lalandzelako, utawuchubeka atihlambulula ekopheni kwakhe. 6 Nakuphela emalanga akhe ekutihlambulula nakatele umntfwana wemfana nome wentfombatane, utawuletsa imvu lendvuna lenemnyaka munye kuze ibe ngumnikelo wekushiswa,+ aletse nelizini lelivukutfu nobe lituba lelitawuba ngumnikelo wesono. Loku utakuletsa kumphristi emnyango welithende lekuhlangana. 7 Lomphristi utakunikela embikwaJehova futsi ente kutsi lomake abuyisane naNkulunkulu, bese uba ngulohlantekile ekopheni kwakhe. Lona ngumtsetfo lomayelana nemfati lobeleka umntfwana wemfana nome wentfombatane. 8 Kodvwa nangabe angakhoni kukhipha imvu, kufanele aletse ematuba lamabili nobe emazini lamabili emavukutfu.+ Linye litawuba ngumnikelo wekushiswa, lelelinye libe ngumnikelo wesono, futsi umphristi utakwenta kutsi abuyisane naNkulunkulu bese uba ngulohlantekile.’”
