UDuteronomi 23 Ongavumelekile ebandleni

¹ Olinyazwe ngamatshe noma enqunyiwe isitho sakhe, makangangeni ebandleni likaJehova.

² Makungangeni mfekethi ebandleni likaJehova; angangeni ebandleni likaJehova kuze kube isizukulwane seshumi.

³ Akukho mAmoni noma umMowabi oyakungena ebandleni likaJehova; bangangeni ebandleni likaJehova kuze kube isizukulwane seshumi kuze kube phakade.

⁴ Ngokuba abanihlangabezanga ngesinkwa nangamanzi endleleni ekuphumeni kwenu eGibithe; nangokuba bakuqashela uBileyamu indodana kaBeyori wasePethori eMesopotamiya ukuba akuqalekise.

⁵ Kepha uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akavumanga ukumlalela uBileyamu; kepha uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakuguqulela isiqalekiso saba yisibusiso, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakuthanda.

⁶ Awuyikufuna ukuthula kwabo nenhlanhla yabo zonke izinsuku zakho kuze kube phakade.

⁷ Awuyikunengwa umEdomi; ngoba ungumfowenu; ungamzondi umGibhithe; ngoba wawungowemzini elizweni lakhe.

⁸ Abantwana abazelwe yibo bayakungena ebandleni likaJehova esizukulwaneni sabo sesithathu.

⁹ Lapho ibutho lihlasela izitha zakho, zigcine kukho konke okubi.

¹⁰ Uma kukhona phakathi kwenu ongahlambulukile ngenxa yokungcola, ezithinta ebusuku, makaphume ekamu, angangeni ekamu.

¹¹ Kodwa lapho kusihlwa kumelwe ageze ngamanzi; kuthi lapho selishonile ilanga, abuyele ekamu.

¹² Uzakuba lendawo ngaphandle kwenkamba, lapho ozasuka khona;

¹³ Kumelwe ube nesigwedlo esigwedlweni sakho; uma ugogobala, umbe ngayo, ubuye, usibekele lokho okuphuma kuwe.

¹⁴ Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyahamba phakathi kwekamu lakho ukuba akusindise, akhulule izitha zakho phambi kwakho; ngalokho umbhede wakho uyakuba ngcwele, ukuze angaboni lutho olungcolile kuwe, aphambuke kuwe.

Amalungiselelo enkolo

¹⁵ Awuyikunikela kuwe inceku ephunyukileyo enkosini yayo;

¹⁶ Izahlala lani phakathi kwenu, endaweni ezayikhetha kwelinye lamasango enu, lapho ithanda khona kakhulu; ungamcindezeli.

¹⁷ Makungabikho sifebe phakathi kwamadodakazi akwa-Israyeli, futhi makungabikho sifebe phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

¹⁸ Ungalethi inkokhelo yesifebe nenani lenja endlini kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nganoma yisiphi isithembiso; ngoba lezi ezimbili ziyisinengiso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

¹⁹ Ungeze umboleke umfowenu ngenzalo; obolekwa ngemali, obolekwa ngokudla, noma obolekwayo nganoma yini ebolekwa ngenzuzo;

²⁰ Ungaziboleka umfokazi ngenzalo; kepha ungatsheleki umfowenu ngenzalo, ukuze uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akubusise kukho konke obeka kukho isandla sakho kukho ezweni oya kulo ukulidla.

²¹ Lapho wenza isithembiso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ungalibali ukusigcwalisa; ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakukubuza nokukubuza kuwe; futhi kungaba yisono kini.

²² Kodwa uma uyeka ukwethembisa, akuyikuba yisono kuwe.

²³ Okuphumile emlonyeni wakho, kugcine, ukwenze; yebo, umnikelo wesihle, njengalokho ufunge isithembiso sakho kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, owasethembisa ngomlomo wakho.

²⁴ Lapho ungena esivinini somakhelwane wakho, ungadla izithelo zomvini ngokuthanda kwakho; kodwa akumelwe uthele lutho emgqonyeni wakho.

²⁵ Uma ungena ezinhlangeni ezingakavunwa zomakhelwane wakho, wokha izikhwebu ngesandla sakho; kodwa akumelwe uhlabe isikela ezinhlangeni zikamakhelwane wakho ezingakavunwa.
