21 “Nangabe kutfolakala umuntfu esigangeni abulewe kulelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninika lona kutsi libe lenu, futsi kungatiwa kutsi ubulewe ngubani, 2 emadvodza lamadzala kanye nebehluleli+ benu kufanele baphume bakale kutsi lingakanani libanga kusuka lapho kutfolakele khona lesidvumbu kuya emadolobheni lasedvute naso. 3 Ngemuva kwaloko, emadvodza lamadzala asedolobheni lelisedvute nalapho kutfolakele khona lesidvumbu kufanele atsatse inkhomo leseyincane lengakaze isetjentiswe nobe iboshelwe. 4 Lenkhomo aboyichuba ayiyise esihosheni lesigeleta emanti, lapho kungakaze kulinywe nobe kuhlanyelwe khona. Nakefika kulesihosha aboyephula intsamo.+
5 “Baphristi labangemaLevi batakuta kuze babusise egameni laJehova, ngobe Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu ukhetse bona kutsi bamentele umsebenti.+ Batawukusho kutsi kufanele ticatululwe njani tonkhe tincabano letitsintsa budlova.+ 6 Ngemuva kwaloko, onkhe emadvodza lamadzala akulelidolobha lelidvutane nalapho kutfolakele khona lesidvumbu kufanele ageze tandla+ tawo etikwalenkhomo leseyincane leyephulwe intsamo esihosheni, 7 bese atsi: ‘Tandla tetfu atikayicitsi lengati, futsi asikaboni nayicitfwa. 8 Awu Jehova, lelicala ungalibeki kuma-Israyeli, bantfu bakho lowabakhulula,+ ungavumi nekutsi lelicala lekucitfwa kwengati lengenacala lichubeke likulabantfu bakho.’+ Ngako-ke ema-Israyeli ngeke asabekwa lelicala lengati. 9 Ngaleyo ndlela nitalisusa lelicala lekucitfwa kwengati lengenacala emkhatsini wenu, ngekutsi nente lokulungile emehlweni aJehova.
10 “Nanihamba niyokulwa netitsa tenu, futsi Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu anincobele tona, nine nititfumbe,+ 11 bese wena ubona intfombi lenhle kulabantfu lenibatfumbile, uyitsandze, ufise nekuyitsatsa ibe ngumfati wakho, 12 ungayitsatsa ute nayo endlini yakho. Kufanele ihhule enhloko, ilungise tingalo tayo, 13 ikhumule netingubo lebeyitigcoke nayitfunjwa bese ihlala endlini yakho. Lentfombi itawulilela babe wayo namake wayo inyanga yonkhe,+ ngemuva kwaloko sewungaya nayo ecansini. Wena utawuba yindvodza yayo, nayo ibe ngumfati wakho. 14 Kodvwa-ke nawungajabuli ngaye, ubomkhulula+ aye lapho afuna khona. Awukavumeleki kutsi umtsengise nobe umphatse kabi, ngobe sewumhlazisile.
15 “Nangabe indvodza inebafati lababili kodvwa kube khona lemtsandza kakhulu kunalomunye,* futsi bobabili babe bayitalele emadvodzana, kepha litibulo libe lilalona longatsandvwa,+ 16 ngelilanga lendvodza letawehlukanisela ngalo lamadvodzana ayo lifa, ayikavumeleki kutsatsa lilungelo lebutibulo ilinike lendvodzana yalomfati lotsandvwako esikhundleni salendvodzana yalona longatsandvwa, lekungiyo lelitibulo. 17 Lendvodza kufanele ihloniphe lilungelo lebutibulo lalendvodzana yalomfati longatsandvwa ngekutsi iyinike sabelo lesiphindvwe kabili kuto tonkhe tintfo lenato, ngobe lendvodzana isicalo semandla ayo ekutala. Lelilungelo lebutibulo ngelayo.+
18 “Nangabe umuntfu anendvodzana lenenkhani nalelihlongandlebe, lengamlaleli babe wayo nobe make wayo,+ futsi batali bayo babe betamile kuyekhuta kodvwa yangabalaleli,+ 19 batali bayo kufanele bayitsatse bayiletse egedeni lelidolobha, emadvodzeni lamadzala, 20 batsi kuwo: ‘Lendvodzana yetfu inenkhani futsi ilihlongandlebe, ayifuni nekusilalela. Isimiti,+ injalo nje isidzakwa.’+ 21 Onkhe emadvodza akulelidolobha lakubo kufanele ayigcobe ngematje ize ife. Ngako-ke kufanele nibususe bubi emkhatsini wenu, futsi onkhe ema-Israyeli atawukuva ngaloku bese ayesaba.+
22 “Nangabe umuntfu ente sono lesimenta afanelwe kufa,+ futsi asabulewe walengiswa elugodvweni,+ 23 sidvumbu sakhe akukafaneli sihlale busuku bonkhe kulolugodvo.+ Esikhundleni saloko, nibosingcwaba ngalo lelolanga, ngobe umuntfu lolengiswe elugodvweni ucalekisiwe kuNkulunkulu.+ Ningalingcolisi lelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninika lona kutsi libe lifa lenu.+
