Izimfuneko zendlu engcwele yethempeli
1Wayesengibuyisela ngasesangweni lendlu engcwele elingaphandle elibheke ngasempumalanga; lase livaliwe.
2Wayesethi uJehova kimi; Leli sango kufanele livalwe, akufanele livulwe, futhi akekho ongangena ngalo; ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ungenile ngalo, ngalokho lizovalwa.
3Lokhu kungokwesikhulu; isikhulu, kumelwe sihlale kulo ukuba sidle isinkwa phambi kukaJehova; kumelwe angene ngompheme walelo sango futhi aphume ngendlela yakhe.
4Wayesengilethela indlela evela eSangweni Lasenyakatho phambi kwendlu; ngabona, bheka, inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa indlu kaJehova, ngawa ngobuso.
5UJehova wayesethi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, lalela, ubone ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngezindlebe zakho konke engikusho kuwe ngazo zonke izimiso zendlu kaJehova nemithetho yayo yonke; niqaphele umnyango wendlu, nazo zonke izindlela zokuphuma endlini engcwele.
6Kumelwe uthi kwabahlubukayo kuyo indlu ka-Israyeli, ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova; Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, akwanele kini zonke izinengiso zenu.
7Ngokuba ningenise abezizweni endlini yami engcwele, abangasokile ngenhliziyo, abangasokile enyameni, ukuba babe sendlini yami engcwele, bayingcolise, indlu yami, uma ninikela ngesinkwa sami, namanoni, negazi, bese ningiphule. Isivumelwano ngenxa yazo zonke izinengiso zakho.
8Aniyigcinanga inkonzo yezinto zami ezingcwele, kepha nanikela inkonzo yami endlini yami engcwele.
9Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Akukho owezizwe ongasokile ngenhliziyo nongasokile ngenyama oyakungena endlini yami engcwele, nakunoma yimuphi owezizwe ophakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
10NamaLevi asuka kude nami ekudukeni kuka-Israyeli, aduka kimi, alandela izithombe zawo; futhi bayothwala ububi babo.
11Kepha bayakuba yizinceku endlini yami engcwele, balinde amasango endlu, bakhonze indlu; kumelwe bahlabe umnikelo wokushiswa nesisulu sabantu, futhi kumelwe bame phambi kwabo ukuba babakhonze.
12Ngoba babakhonza phambi kwezithombe zabo, benza indlu kaIsrayeli yawela ebubini; ngalokho ngiphakamisele isandla sami kubo, isho iNkosi uJehova, futhi bayothwala ububi babo.
13Abanakusondela kimi ukuba bangenzele inkonzo yompristi, noma beze kunoma iyiphi yezinto zami ezingcwele endaweni eNgcwelengcwele; kodwa kumelwe bathwale ihlazo labo nezinengiso zabo abazenzile.
14Kodwa ngiyobamisa ukuba babe abaqaphi benkonzo yendlu kuwo wonke umsebenzi wayo wenkonzo nakho konke okumelwe kwenziwe kuyo.
15Kodwa abapristi bamaLevi, amadodana kaSadoki, ababegcina inkonzo yendlu yami engcwele lapho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli beduka besuka kimi, kumelwe basondele kimi ukuze bangikhonze, futhi kumelwe beme phambi kwami ukuze banginike amanoni namanoni. Igazi, isho iNkosi uJehova.
16Kumelwe bangene endlini yami engcwele, futhi kumelwe basondele etafuleni lami ukuze bangikhonze, futhi kumelwe bagcine inkonzo yami.
17Lapho bengena emasangweni egceke elingaphakathi, bayakwembatha ilineni; uboya bezimvu abuyikuba phezu kwabo, lapho bekhonza emasangweni egceke elingaphakathi nangaphakathi.
18Kumelwe babe namabhande elineni emakhanda abo namabhulukwe elineni okhalweni; bangase bangabhinci noma yini ebangela umjuluko.
19Lapho bephumela egcekeni elingaphandle, egcekeni elingaphandle kubantu, kumelwe bakhumule izingubo zabo ababekhonza benazo, bazibeke phansi emakamelweni angcwele, bagqoke ezinye izingubo; futhi ngeke bangcwelise abantu ngezingubo zabo.
20Abayikuphuca amakhanda abo, bangavumeli izihluthu zabo zibe zide; bayolinganisa amakhanda abo kuphela.
21Futhi akukho mpristi ongaphuza iwayini lapho bengena egcekeni elingaphakathi.
22Bangathathi umfelokazi noma olahliwe ngenxa yabafazi bawo, kodwa kumelwe bathathele amantombazane ohlwini lozalo lwendlu ka-Israyeli noma umfelokazi owayenompristi ngaphambili.
23Kumelwe bafundise abantu bami umehluko phakathi kokungcwele nokungangcwele futhi babenze bahlukanise phakathi kokungcolile nokuhlanzekile.
24Bephikisana bayakuma ekwahluleleni; bayakulahlulela njengezimiso zami; futhi kumelwe bagcine imithetho yami nezimiso zami kuwo wonke amabandla ami; bayakungcwelisa amasabatha ami.
25Futhi bangasondeli kofileyo ukuba bamngcolise; kodwa ngenxa kayise noma unina noma indodana noma indodakazi, umfowabo noma udadewabo ababengenandoda bangazingcolisa.
26Ngemva kokuba esehlanziwe, kumelwe ambalele izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.
27Ngosuku lapho engena endlini engcwele egcekeni elingaphakathi ukukhonza endlini engcwele, kumelwe anikele umnikelo wakhe wesono, isho iNkosi uJehova.
28Kumelwe kube yifa labo: Mina ngiyifa labo; aniyikubanika mpahla kwa-Israyeli; Mina ngiyimpahla yabo.
29Kumelwe badle umnikelo womlilo nomnikelo wesono nomnikelo wecala; futhi konke okungcwelisiwe kwa-Israyeli kuyakuba ngokwakho.
30Okokuqala kwakho konke okokuqala kwakho konke nayo yonke iminikelo eyenziwa ngomlilo yakho konke kuzo zonke izinhlobo zeminikelo yenu eyenziwa ngomlilo kuyakuba ngokompristi; Ingqalo yenhlama yenu niyakunika umpristi, ukuze aphumule isibusiso endlini yakho.
31Abapristi abanakuyidla into efileyo noma edweshuliwe yodwa, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izinyoni noma isilwane.
