Umnyaka wesabatha nowejubili
1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose entabeni yaseSinayi, wathi:
2Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kibo: Nxa lifika elizweni engilinika lona, ilizwe lizagcina isabatha lokuyidumisa iNkosi.
3Iminyaka eyisithupha uyakulima ezweni lakho, iminyaka eyisithupha uyakuthena isivini sakho, ubuthe izithelo zaso;
4Kepha ngomnyaka wesikhombisa kuyakuba yisabatha lokuphumula kwezwe, isabatha leNkosi; awuyikulima insimu yakho, ungathena isivini sakho.
5Okumilayo koyedwa esivunweni sakho akumelwe ukuvune, futhi akumelwe uzinqume izithelo zomvini wakho, ngoba kuwunyaka wokuphumula kwezwe.
6Isabatha lezwe liyakuba ngukudla kini; ngawe, nenceku yakho, nencekukazi yakho, nesisebenzi sakho, nomfokazi wakho ogogobeleyo kuwe;
7Futhi okwezinkomo zakho nokwezilwane ezisezweni lakho, wonke umkhiqizo walo kumelwe ube ukudla.
8Kumelwe uzibalele amasabatha ayisikhombisa eminyaka, iminyaka eyisikhombisa ephindwe kasikhombisa; isikhathi seminyaka eyisikhombisa yamasabatha siyakuba yiminyaka engamashumi amane nesishiyagalolunye kini.
9Kuyakuthi ngolweshumi lwenyanga yesikhombisa nivuthe icilongo ngomnyaka wejubili; ngosuku lokubuyisana niyakubetha icilongo ezweni lakini.
10Niyakungcwelisa umnyaka wamashumi ayisihlanu, nimemezele ukukhululwa ezweni kubo bonke abakhileyo kulo; kuyakuba ngumnyaka wejubili kini; nibuyele, kube yilowo nalowo efeni lakhe, kube yilowo nalowo emndenini wakhe.
11Umnyaka wejubili uyakuba kini umnyaka wamashumi ayisihlanu; aniyikuhlwanyela, ningavuni okuzimisileyo kuwo, ningabuthi khona izithelo zomvini wenu.
12Ngokuba lokhu kungumnyaka wejubili; kumelwe kube ngcwele kini; kumelwe udle izithelo zayo ezivela ensimini.
13Ngonyaka waleli jubili kumelwe nibuyele, kube yilowo nalowo empahleni yakhe.
14Uma uthengisa okuthile kumakhelwane wakho noma uthenga esandleni somakhelwane wakho, ningacindezeli.
15Njengenani leminyaka emva kwejubili wothenga kumakhelwane wakho, njengenani leminyaka yesithelo uyakukuthengisa kuwe;
16Ngobuningi beminyaka uyakuyinyusa intengo yayo, ngokobuncane beminyaka yehlise intengo yayo; ngoba uthengisa kuwe ngenani leminyaka yesithelo.
17Akumelwe nicindezelane; kodwa kumelwe wesabe uNkulunkulu wakho, ngoba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.
18Ngalokho anozenza izimiso zami, nigcine izahlulelo zami, nizenze; futhi niyohlala nilondekile ezweni.
19Izwe liyothela isithelo salo, nidle, nisuthe, nihlale kulo ngokulondeka.
20Futhi uma nithi: Siyakudlani ngomnyaka wesikhombisa na? bheka, asiyikulima, asiyikubutha izithelo zethu;
21Njalo ngizabusisa insimu yenu ngomnyaka wesithupha, njalo izathela iminyaka emithathu.
22Kumelwe nihlwanyele ngonyaka wesishiyagalombili futhi niqhubeke nidle izithelo ezindala kuze kube unyaka wesishiyagalolunye; kuze kufike isithelo sawo, niyakudla esitolo esidala.
23Izwe aliyikuthengiswa kuze kube phakade, ngokuba izwe lingelami; ngoba ningabafokazi nezihambi kanye nami.
24Futhi kulo lonke izwe lefa lakho kumelwe ulihlenge izwe.
25Uma umfowenu eba mpofu, wathengisa ngempahla yakhe, futhi uma kufika othile womndeni wakubo ukuzoyihlenga, kumelwe ahlenge lokho umfowabo athengiswe ngakho.
26Uma umuntu engenamuntu omkhululayo, futhi enamandla okuzikhululela yena;
27Makabale iminyaka yokuthengisa kwakho, abuyisele okuseleyo kumuntu athengisa kuye; ukuze abuyele efeni lakhe.
28Kodwa uma engenakuyibuyisela kuye, lokho okuthengiswayo kuyakuhlala esandleni salowo owakuthengayo kuze kufike ijubili; ngejubili liyakuphuma, abuyele efeni lakhe.
29Uma umuntu ethengisa ngendlu yokuhlala emzini onogange, uyakuyithenga ungakapheli umnyaka esethengisiwe ngayo; ungakapheli umnyaka opheleleyo angayikhulula.
30Uma ingashiywa ungakapheli umnyaka, indlu esemzini onogange kumelwe ime kuze kube phakade ngeyakhe owayithenga ezizukulwaneni zakhe; alinakuphuma ngomnyaka wejubili.
31Kepha izindlu zemizi engenazindonga nxazonke ziyakubhekwa njengensimu yezwe; angahlengwa, futhi kumelwe aphume ngejubili.
32Kepha imizi yamaLevi nezindlu zemizi yefa lawo amaLevi angazihlenga noma nini.
33Uma umuntu ethenga kumaLevi, indlu ethengisiwe nomuzi uyakuphuma efeni lakhe ngomnyaka wejubili; ngokuba izindlu zemizi yamaLevi ziyifa lawo phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
34Kepha izwe lamadlelo emizi yabo aliyikuthengiswa; ngoba liyimpahla yabo ephakade.
35Uma umfowenu eba mpofu, ekukhohlakala kanye nawe; khona-ke kumelwe umyeke; yebo, ngisho noma engowezizwe noma eyisihambi; ukuthi angahlala nawe.
36Ningathathi kuye inzalo noma inzalo; kepha yesaba uNkulunkulu wakho; ukuze umfowenu ahlale lawe.
37Ungamniki imali yakho ngenzalo, ungamtsheleki izinto oziphilisa ngazo ukuze andise.
38NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu owanikhipha ezweni laseGibhithe ukuze ngininike izwe laseKhanani futhi ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu.
39Uma umfowenu eyakuba mpofu kuwe, azithengise kuwe; awuyikumphoqa ukuba abe yisigqila.
40Kodwa njengesisebenzi sosuku nanjengomfokazi kumelwe abe kuwe futhi akukhonze kuze kube unyaka wejubili.
41Khona-ke uyakusuka kuwe, yena nabantwana bakhe kanye naye, abuyele emndenini wakhe, abuyele efeni lawoyise.
42Ngokuba bayizinceku zami engazikhipha ezweni laseGibithe; zingathengiswa zibe yizigqila.
43Awuyikubusa kalukhuni phezu kwakhe; kodwa kumelwe wesabe uNkulunkulu wakho.
44Izigqila zakho nezigqilakazi oyoba nazo kumelwe zivele ezizweni ezinizungezile; kubo kumelwe nithenge isigqila nesigqilakazi.
45Kubantwana bakwabezizwe abagogobele phakathi kwenu niyothenga kubo nasezizukulwaneni zabo ezikanye nani abazizalayo ezweni lakini; bayakuba yimpahla yenu.
46Kumelwe nilithathe njengefa labantwana benu ngemva kwenu, ukuze babadle njengefa; bayakuba yizigqila zakho kuze kube phakade; kodwa phezu kwabafowenu, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, akumelwe nibuse omunye komunye.
47Uma umfokazi noma umfokazi eceba kanye nawe, umfowenu ohlezi naye eba mpofu, azithengise kumfokazi noma kumfokazi okuwe, noma esizweni somndeni womfokazi,
48Ngemva kokuba esethengisiwe, angabuye ahlengwe; omunye wabafowabo angamhlenga;
49Noma uyisekazi noma indodana kayisekazi angamkhulula, noma omunye womndeni wakhe oyisihlobo sakhe angamkhulula; noma uma enamandla, angazihlenga.
50Kumelwe ahlale nalowo owamthenga kusukela ngonyaka azithengisa ngawo kuye kuze kube unyaka wejubili; futhi intengo yokuthenga kwakhe iyakuba ngokwesibalo seminyaka, ngokwesikhathi sosuku lwesisebenzi esikanye naye.
51Uma kusele iminyaka eminingi, njengayo, uyakukhokha imali yesihlengo sakhe emalini eyathengwa ngayo.
52Uma kusele iminyaka eyingcosana kuze kufike umnyaka wejubili, uyakumbalelana naye, ngokweminyaka yakhe abuyisele intengo yesihlengo sakhe.
53Futhi njengesisebenzi sonyaka uyakuba naye, futhi omunye ngeke abuse phezu kwakhe kanzima phambi kwamehlo akho.
54Uma engahlengwanga ngaleyo minyaka, uyakuphuma ngomnyaka wejubili, yena nabantwana bakhe kanye naye.
55Ngokuba kimi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bayizinceku; bayizinceku zami engazikhipha ezweni laseGibithe; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
