ULevitikusi 17

¹ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

² Yisho ku-Aroni nakumadodana akhe nakubo bonke abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: ‘Nansi indaba uJehova ayale ngayo ngokuthi:

³ Noma yimuphi umuntu wendlu ka-Israyeli ohlaba inkabi noma iwundlu noma imbuzi emgodini noma ukuhlaba emgodini,

⁴ ungayilethi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana ukuze unikele ngomnikelo kuJehova phambi kwetende leNkosi; igazi kufanele libalelwe kulowo muntu; wachitha igazi; lowomuntu uyakunqunywa phakathi kwabantu bakubo.

⁵ Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bangaletha imihlatshelo yabo abayiletha endle, bayilethe kuJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana kumpristi, bayilethe ngokuthula. Iminikelo kaJehova.

⁶ Umpristi afafaze ngegazi e-altare likaJehova ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, ashise amanoni abe yiphunga elimnandi kuJehova.

⁷ Futhi abasayikunikela imihlatshelo yabo kumademoni abaphinge nawo. Kumelwe kube yisimiso esiphakade kubo ezizukulwaneni zabo.

⁸ Wothi kubo: Yilowo nalowo wendlu yakwa-Israyeli noma owezizwe ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwenu oletha umnikelo wokushiswa noma umhlatshelo,

⁹ futhi ungayilethi emnyango wetende lokuhlangana ukuze unikele ngayo kuJehova; lowomuntu uyakunqunywa phakathi kwabantu bakubo.

¹⁰ Futhi wonke umuntu wendlu ka-Israyeli noma kubafokazi abagogobeleyo phakathi kwenu, abadla noma yiliphi igazi; ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lomphefumulo odla igazi, ngiwuqume phakathi kwabantu bakibo.

¹¹ Ngokuba umphefumulo wenyama usegazini, futhi ngininikile lona e-altare ukwenza ukubuyisana kwemiphefumulo yenu; ngoba ligazi elenza ukubuyisana ngomphefumulo.

¹² Ngalokho ngathi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: “Makungabikho muntu kini odla igazi, nomfokazi ogogobeleyo phakathi kwenu makangadli igazi.”

¹³ Yilowo nalowo wabantwana bakwa-Israyeli noma owabafokazi abagogobeleyo phakathi kwenu ozingela, abambe isilwane noma inyoni edliwayo; Kumelwe futhi athulule igazi layo futhi alisibekele ngothuli.

¹⁴ Ngokuba lokhu kungukuphila kwayo yonke inyama; igazi lawo lingenxa yomphefumulo wakhe; ngalokho ngathi kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli: Aniyikudla igazi lanoma iyiphi inyama; ngokuba umphefumulo wenyama yonke uyigazi layo; wonke umuntu oyidlayo uyakunqunywa.

¹⁵ Yilowo nalowo muntu odla okuzifeleyo noma okudweshulwe emfuyweni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungowakubo noma ungowemzini, kumelwe ahlanze izingubo zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolile kuze kube yileso sikhathi uyoba ongcolile iIhlanzekile.

¹⁶ Kodwa uma engazigezi futhi engawugezi umzimba wakhe; khona izathwala ububi bayo.
