Ifa lamaLevi lempahla yawo linikeza imizi yokuhlala kuyo
1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose emathafeni akwaMowabi ngaseJordani ngaseJeriko, wathi:
2Yala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuba banike amaLevi efeni lefa lawo imizi ukuba ahlale kuyo; futhi kumelwe unike amaLevi amadlelo emizi ezungezile.
3Bayakuba nemizi yokuhlala kuyo; amadlelo awo abe ngawezinkomo zawo, nempahla yawo, nemfuyo yawo yonke.
4Idlelo lemizi eniyakunika amaLevi liyakusukela odongeni lomuzi lidlule izingalo eziyinkulungwane nxazonke.
5Niyakulinganisa nivela ngaphandle komuzi, izingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ohlangothini lwasempumalanga, nezingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ohlangothini oluseningizimu, nezingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngasentshonalanga, nezingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngasenyakatho; umuzi uyakuba phakathi, ube idlelo lawo lemizi.
6Futhi phakathi kwemizi eniyoyinika amaLevi, kumelwe kube nemizi eyisithupha yesiphephelo, eniyoyimisela umuntu obulele, ukuze abalekele khona; naphezu kwalokho niyakwenezela imizi engamashumi amane nambili.
7Yonke imizi eniyakunika amaLevi iyakuba yimizi engamashumi amane nesishiyagalombili; kufanele uwunike kanye nedlelo lawo.
8Imizi eniyobanika yona kumelwe ivele efeni labantwana bakwa-Israyeli; Abanokuningi bapheni okuningi; kodwa kwabanokuncane, kufanele niphe okuncane; yilowo nalowo emizini yakhe kumelwe anike amaLevi ngokwefa laso elizuzwa njengefa.
9UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
10Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi kibo: Uba liwela iJordani liye elizweni leKhanani;
11Niyakumisela imizi eyakuba yimizi ekhululekile kini; ukuze umbulali abalekele khona, obulale umuntu engazi.
12Lawa ayakuba yimizi yenu njengesiphephelo kubaphindiseli; ukuze umbulali angafi, aze eme phambi kwebandla ekwahlulelweni.
13Kuleyo mizi eniyakunika yona, niyakuba nemizi eyisithupha yesiphephelo.
14Niyakunikela imizi emithathu ngaphesheya kweJordani, ninike imizi emithathu ezweni laseKhanani, ibe yimizi ekhululekile.
15Le mizi eyisithupha iyakuba yindawo yokuphephela yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nakumfokazi, nakomfokazi phakathi kwabo;
16Uma emshaya ngensimbi, aze afe, ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa.
17Uma emshaya ngokujikijela ngetshe angafa ngalo, aze afe, ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa.
18Uma emshaya ngesikhali somuthi angafa ngaso, aze afe, ungumbulali; umbulali wobulawa nokubulawa.
19Othanda igazi uyobulala umbulali; uma ehlangana naye, uzombulala.
20Kepha uma emsunduza ngenzondo, noma emjikijela ngomsindo wokuqapha, aze afe;
21noma umshaye ngesandla sakhe ngobutha aze afe; omshayileyo wobulawa nokubulawa; ngoba ungumbulali: umphindiseli wegazi uzambulala umbulali, nxa ehlangana laye.
22Kodwa uma evele wamsunduza engenabutha, noma emjikijela utho, engalindanga,
23Noma yiliphi itshe angafa ngalo umuntu engaboni, aliphonse phezu kwakhe, aze afe, engesona isitha sakhe, engafunanga okubi kwakhe;
24Inhlangano iyakwahlulela phakathi kombulali nenani legazi ngokwalezi zimiso:
25Inhlangano kumelwe ikhulule umbulali esandleni somuntu womele igazi, futhi inhlangano kumelwe imbuyisele emzini okhululekile ayebalekele kuwo; futhi kumelwe ahlale kulo kuze kube sekufeni kompristi ophakeme ogcotshwe ngamafutha angcwele.
26Kodwa uma umbulali efika noma nini ngaphandle komngcele womuzi wakhe okhululekile abebalekele kuwo;
27Isibalo segazi samthola ngaphandle kwemingcele yomuzi wakubo okhululekile, futhi inani legazi lambulala umbulali; angabi nacala legazi;
28Ngoba ubemele ukuhlala emzini wakubo okhululekileyo, kuze kube sekufeni kompristi omkhulu; kodwa ngemva kokufa kompristi ophakeme umbulali kumelwe abuyele ezweni lefa lakhe.
29Lezi zinto ziyakuba yisimiso sokwahlulela kini ezizukulwaneni zenu kuzo zonke izindawo zenu zokuhlala.
30Loba ngubani obulala umuntu, umbulali kumele abulawe ngomlomo wabofakazi; kepha ufakazi oyedwa akayikufakaza ngomuntu ukuba afe.
31Ngaphezu kwalokho, aniyikuthatha noma iyiphi inhlawulo yomphefumulo wombulali onecala lokubulala, kodwa kumelwe abulawe nakanjani.
32Aniyikuthatha isihlawulo ngomuntu obalekele emzini wakhe okhululekileyo ukuba abuye ahlale ezweni aze afe umpristi.
33Ngakho-ke aniyikungcolisa izwe enikulo, ngokuba igazi liyangcolisa izwe; nezwe alinakuhlanjululwa egazini elichithwa kulo, kuphela ngegazi lalowo olichithile.
34Ngakho lingangcolisi ilizwe elizahlala kulo, engihlala kulo, ngoba mina Nkosi ngihlezi phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
