Levithikhusi 27:1-34
27 Jehova wachubeka wakhuluma naMosi, watsi:
2 “Khuluma nema-Israyeli utsi kuwo: ‘Nangabe umuntfu enta sifungo lesikhetsekile+ sekutsi utawunikela kuJehova ngemali lelingana nentsengo yemuntfu,
3 leyo ntsengo itawuba ngemagremu langu-570* elisiliva nangabe kungumuntfu lomdvuna loneminyaka lesukela kulengu-20 kuya kulengu-60. Lentsengo kufanele ikalwe ngesisindvo lesisemtsetfweni sasendzaweni lengcwele.*
4 Kodvwa nakungumuntfu lomsikati, lentsengo itawuba ngemagremu langu-342* elisiliva.
5 Nakungumuntfu loneminyaka lesukela kulesihlanu kuya kulengu-20 budzala, intsengo yakhe nakamdvuna itawuba ngemagremu langu-228* elisiliva, kodvwa nangabe amsikati itawuba ngemagremu langu-114* elisiliva.
6 Nangabe kungumuntfu lonenyanga yinye kuya kuloneminyaka lesihlanu budzala, intsengo yakhe nakamdvuna itawuba ngemagremu langu-57* elisiliva, kodvwa nakamsikati itawuba ngemagremu langaba ngu-34* elisiliva.
7 “‘Nakungumuntfu loneminyaka lengu-60 kuya etulu budzala, intsengo yakhe nakamdvuna itawuba ngemagremu langu-171* elisiliva, kantsi nakamsikati itawuba ngemagremu langu-114* elisiliva.
8 Kodvwa nangabe eswele kakhulu, angakhoni kubhadala lentsengo,+ utawuletsa lomuntfu embikwemphristi kuze umphristi ancume kutsi intsengo yakhe ingaba ngakanani, kuye ngaloko lona lowente lesifungo langakhona kukukhipha.+
9 “‘Nangabe kusifungo sekunikela ngesilwane lesemukelekako kutsi sibe ngumnikelo kuJehova, nobe ngusiphi silwane lesitawunikelwa kuJehova sitawuba yintfo lengcwele.
10 Akukafaneli aletse lesinye esikhundleni saso nobe asishintjise, aletse lesihle nobe aletse lesibi kunaso. Kodvwa nakatawusishintjisa ngalesinye, totimbili titawuba ngcwele, lesi sekucala nalesi lashintjise ngaso.
11 Nangabe kusilwane lesingcolile+ futsi lokungeke kunikelwe ngaso kuJehova, leso silwane utasiletsa embikwemphristi.
12 Lomphristi utawubese uncuma intsengo yaso, kuye ngekutsi sihle yini nobe cha. Lentsengo letawuncunywa ngumphristi akukafaneli ishintjwe.
13 Kepha nakwenteka lomuntfu afuna kuphindze asitsenge, kufanele akhokhe lentsengo yaso futsi ngetulu engete incenye yayo leyodvwa kuletisihlanu.+
14 “‘Nakwenteka umuntfu anikela* ngendlu yakhe kuze ibe yintfo lengcwele kuJehova, umphristi utawuncuma intsengo yayo, kuye ngekutsi leyondlu isesimeni lesihle yini nobe cha. Ngako-ke intsengo yaleyondlu itawuba nguleyo lebekwe ngumphristi.+
15 Kodvwa nangabe lomuntfu lonikele ngendlu yakhe asafuna kuphindze ayitsenge, kufanele akhokhe intsengo yayo aphindze engete incenye yayo leyodvwa kuletisihlanu. Ngemuva kwaloko lendlu itawuphindze ibe ngeyakhe.
16 “‘Nakwenteka umuntfu anikela kuJehova ngencenye yemhlaba wakhe, intsengo yawo itawukalwa ngenhlanyelo ledzingekako nawuhlanyelwa: lihomeri* lenhlanyelo yebhali litawuba ngemagremu langu-570* elisiliva.
17 Nangabe lomhlaba anikela ngawo ngeMnyaka Wekukhululwa,+ intsengo yawo akukafaneli ishintjwe.
18 Nangabe anikela ngawo ngemuva kweMnyaka Wekukhululwa, umphristi kufanele ayehlise intsengo yawo, abuke kutsi sekusele iminyaka lemingakhi kufike uMnyaka Wekukhululwa lolandzelako.+
19 Kepha nangabe lomuntfu lonikele ngalomhlaba asafuna kuphindze awutsenge, kufanele akhiphe intsengo yawo aphindze engete incenye yayo leyodvwa kuletisihlanu. Ngemuva kwaloko lomhlaba utawuphindze ube wakhe.
20 Nakangakawutsengi lomhlaba kuze ubuyele kuye futsi sewutsengiselwe lomunye umuntfu, angeke asakhona kuphindze awutsenge.
21 NgeMnyaka Wekukhululwa, lapho lomhlaba sewusuka etandleni taloyo bekawutsengile, utawuba yintfo lengcwele kuJehova futsi ube yintfo lenikelwe kuye. Ngako utawubese uba yimphahla yebaphristi.+
22 “‘Nangabe umuntfu anikela kuJehova ngemhlaba lawutsengile, longasiyo incenye yelifa lakhe,+
23 umphristi utawubala kutsi lomhlaba utawubita kanganani kusukela ngaleso sikhatsi kuze kufike uMnyaka Wekukhululwa, bese ngalelolanga ubeka intsengo yawo.+ Lomhlaba utawuba yintfo lengcwele kuJehova.
24 NgeMnyaka Wekukhululwa, lomhlaba utawubuyiselwa kuloyo lebewutsengwe kuye, lokunguye longumnikati wawo.+
25 “‘Intsengo ngayinye kufanele ikalwe ngesisindvo selishekeli lesisemtsetfweni sasendzaweni lengcwele. Lishekeli kufanele libe ngemagera langu-20.*
26 “‘Kodvwa kute lokufanele anikele ngelitibulo lesilwane, ngobe litalwa lilitibulo laJehova.+ Lisuke selivele lilaJehova, kungaba kutsi litibulo lenkhomo nobe lemvu.+
27 Nangabe kulitibulo lesilwane lesingcolile futsi alihlenga ngentsengo lebekiwe, kufanele akhokhe intsengo yalo aphindze engete incenye yayo leyodvwa kuletisihlanu.+ Kodvwa nakangalitsengi kuze libuyele kuye, litawutsengiswa ngentsengo lebekiwe.
28 “‘Kute intfo umuntfu layinikele ngalokuphelele* kuJehova lengatsengiswa nobe iphindze ibuyiselwe kuloyo lonikele ngayo, kungaba kutsi kunikelwe ngemuntfu, silwane nobe ngemhlaba. Tonkhe tintfo letinikelwe kuJehova tingcwele kuye.+
29 Ngetulu kwaloko, umuntfu lolahliwe* kuze abhujiswe akukafaneli ahlengwe.+ Loyo muntfu kufanele abulawe nakanjani.+
30 “‘Konkhe kwelishumi kwemkhicito+ wemhlaba, kungaba ngulokutsetfwe esivunweni nobe etitselweni, kutawuba kwaJehova. Kuyintfo lengcwele kuJehova.
31 Nangabe umuntfu afuna kuphindze atsenge lokwelishumi kwakhe, kufanele akhokhe intsengo yako aphindze engete incenye yayo leyodvwa kuletisihlanu.
32 Konkhe kwelishumi lokutsetfwe emhlambini wetinkhomo, wetimbuti newetimvu, lokusilwane* selishumi lesitawendlula ngaphansi kwendvuku yemelusi, kutawuba yintfo lengcwele kuJehova.
33 Akukafaneli abuke kutsi sihle yini nobe cha, futsi akukafaneli asishintjise ngalesinye. Kodvwa nangabe asishintjisa, totimbili titawuba ngcwele, lesi lashintjise ngaso kanye nalesi sekucala.+ Ngeke akhone kuphindze asitsenge.’”
34 Ngulena-ke imitsetfo Jehova layitjela Mosi eNtsabeni iSinayi kutsi ayinike ema-Israyeli.+
