UDuteronomi 20
Imithetho yokulwa
1Lapho uphuma ukulwa nezitha zakho, namahhashi, nezinqola, nabantu abaningi kunawe, ungabesabi, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho unawe owakukhuphula ezweni laseGibithe.
2Lapho nisondela ekulweni, umpristi makasondele, akhulume kubantu:
3Futhi ngizakuthi kubo: Zwana, O Israyeli, uyeza lamuhla ukulwa lezitha zakho; ningazivumeli izinhliziyo zenu ziphele, ningesabi noma nithuthumele, futhi ningapheli amandla ngenxa yazo;
4Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nguye ohamba nani ukunilwela ezitheni zenu, anisindise.
5Izinceku ziyakukhuluma kubantu, zithi: ‘Ngumuphi umuntu owakha indlu entsha, ongayingcwelisanga? makahambe abuyele endlini yakhe, funa afe empini, omunye ayingcwelise.
6“Ngumuphi lowo otshale isivini kodwa engakasidli na? naye makahambe, abuyele endlini yakhe, funa afele empini, adle omunye umuntu.
7Ngubani indoda egane owesifazane, ingamthatha na? makahambe abuyele endlini yakhe, funa afe empini, amthathe omunye.
8Izinceku kumelwe ziqhubeke zikhuluma kubantu zithi: ‘Ngumuphi umuntu owesabayo nodangele? makahambe abuyele endlini yakhe, funa inhliziyo yabafowabo iphele njengenhliziyo yakhe.
9Lapho izikhulu seziqedile ukukhuluma nabantu, kumelwe zibeke izinduna zamabutho ukuba zihole abantu.
10Nxa nisondela emzini ukulwa nawo, shumayelani ukuthula kuwo;
11Uma kukuphendule ngokuthula, kukuvulekele, zonke izizwe ezifunyanwa kuwo ziyakuba ngabathelisi bakho, zikukhonze.
12Uma ingafuni ukwenza ukuthula nawe, kodwa ilwa nawe, khona-ke kumelwe uyivimbezele.
13Uma uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho elinikela esandleni sakho, kumelwe ubulale bonke abesilisa balo ngosiko lwenkemba.
14Kodwa abesifazane nabantwana abancane nemfuyo nakho konke okusemzini, yonke impango yawo, kumelwe uzithathele wena; uyakudla impango yezitha zakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunike yona.
15Niyakwenza kanjena ngayo yonke imizi ekude kakhulu nani, engekho phakathi kwemizi yalezi zizwe.
16Kodwa emizini yalababantu uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho azakunika yona ibe yilifa, ungaphili lutho oluphefumulayo.
17Kodwa kumelwe ubashaye ngesiqalekiso; amaHeti, nama-Amori, namaKhanani, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi; njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakuyala.
18Ukuze banganifundisi ukwenza njengazo zonke izinengiso zabo abazenzileyo konkulunkulu babo; kanjalo niyone kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
19Lapho uvimbezela umuzi isikhathi eside ngokulwa nawo ukuze uwuthathe, akumelwe nichithe imithi yawo ngokuyigalela ngezembe; ngoba ungadla kuzo, ungazigawuli. Umuthi wasendle ungukuphila komuntu) ukuzisebenzisa ekuvinjezelweni;
20Kuphela izihlahla ozaziyo ukuthi azizona izihlahla ezidliwayo, kufanele uzichithe futhi uzigawule; futhi kumelwe wakhe izivikelo ngokumelene nomuzi olwa nawe, uze unqotshwe.
