40 ¹Ngomnyaka wamashumi mabini anesihlanu wokufuduswa kwethu, ekuqaleni komnyaka, ngosuku lweshumi lwenyanga, iminyaka elishumi elinane emveni kokubethwa komzi, kanye ngayo loo mini, safika isandla sikaBawo wethu phezu kwam, sandisa khona. ²Emibonweni evela kuBawo wethu wandisa ezweni lakwaSirayeli, wandibeka entabeni ende kakhulu, kukho into enjengesakhiwo somzi ngasezantsi kwayo. ³Wandisa khona: indoda enjengobhedu, inomtya welinen nengcongolo yokulinganisela esandleni sayo, imi esangweni. ^a a v3 Kulo lonke iTestamente eLidala, iFHB ithi uBawo wethu kolo mntu othi avele athethe njengoThixo. Le ndoda injengobhedu yahlukile—sisikhokeli esisisithunywa esithunywe ukulinganisa itempile nokucacisa umbono, ingenguye uBawo wethu ngokwakhe. ⁴Yathi kum loo ndoda: “Nyana womntu, khangela ngamehlo akho, uve ngeendlebe zakho, ubeke intliziyo yakho kuko konke endikubonisa kona, kuba uziswe apha ukuze ukuboniswe. Yixelele indlu yakwaSirayeli yonke into oyibonayo.”

Isango Lasempumalanga Liyalinganiswa

⁵Udonga lwayirhawula itempile ngeenxa zonke. Loo ndoda yayiphethe ingcongolo yokulinganisela engangeekubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha ubude. Yalulinganisa udonga: ubukhulu balo, iikubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha; nokuphakama kwalo, iikubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha.

⁶Yaza yaya esangweni elibheke empumalanga, yenyuka ngezinyuko zalo. Yaza yalinganisa umbundu wesango, iikubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha ubunzulu bawo; nomnye umbundu, iikubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha ubunzulu. ⁷Igumbi ngalinye lomgcini laliziikubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha ubude nobubanzi, kukho iikubhite ezihlanu ekuphakathi kwawo. Umbundu wesango ngasevarandeni, obheke ngaphakathi, waba ziikubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha. ⁸Yaza yalinganisa ivaranda yesango, ebheke ngaphakathi—iikubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha. ⁹Yalinganisa ivaranda yesango—iikubhite ezisibhozo nesiqingatha—nemigubasi yayo—iikubhite ezimbini nesiqingatha; ivaranda yayibheke ngaphakathi.

¹⁰Amagumbi omgcini amathathu arhawula isango lasempumalanga kwelinye icala nakwelinye, omathathu elinganayo; nemigubasi ngapha nangapha yayilingana. ¹¹Yaza yalinganisa umnyango wesango: iikubhite ezilishumi elinanye nesiqingatha ububanzi, nesango laziikubhite ezilishumi elinantlanu nesiqingatha ubude. ¹²Umda ophambi kwamagumbi omgcini wawuziikubhite ezinesiqingatha ngapha nangapha; igumbi ngalinye lomgcini laliziikubhite ezintandathu nesiqingatha ngapha nangapha. ¹³Yaza yalinganisa isango, lithabathela phezu kophahla lwegumbi elinye lomgcini ukuya kolunye, lwaziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anambini nesiqingatha ububanzi, umnyango ukhangelene nomnyango. ¹⁴Yalinganisa imigubasi—iikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu anesibhozo; intendelezo yafikelela emigubasini ngeenxa zonke zesango. ¹⁵Ukususela phambi komnyango wesango ukuya phambi kwevaranda yalo engaphakathi kwaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mane anesine. ¹⁶Amagumbi omgcini nemigubasi yawo ayeneefestile ezimxinwa ngeenxa zonke ngaphakathi kwesango, kwanazo iivaranda; iifestile zajikeleza ngeenxa zonke zibheke ngaphakathi, kukho amasundu akrolwe emigubasini.

Intendelezo Engaphandle

¹⁷Yaza yandingenisa entendelezweni engaphandle; kwakukho amagumbi nomgangatho oqingqiweyo oyijikelezileyo, kukho amagumbi angamashumi amathathu ebheke komgangatho. ¹⁸Umgangatho wawusecaleni lamasango, wawulingana nobude bawo; lo ke ngumgangatho ongaphantsi. ¹⁹Yalinganisa ukususela phambi kwesango elingaphantsi ukuya phambili ngaphandle kwentendelezo engaphakathi: iikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi asixhenxe anantlanu, ngasempumalanga nangasentla.

Isango Lasentla Liyalinganiswa

²⁰Isango lasentla lentendelezo engaphandle—yalinganisa ubude nobubanzi balo. ²¹Amagumbi alo omgcini—amathathu ngapha nangapha—nemigubasi yalo nevaranda yalo kwalingana nesango lokuqala: iikubhite ezimashumi asibhozo anesibhozo ubude, neekubhite ezimashumi mane anesine ububanzi. ²²Iifestile zalo, nevaranda yalo, namasundu, kwalingana nemilinganiselo yesango elibheke empumalanga. Kwakunyukwa ngezinyuko ezisixhenxe kulo, nevaranda yalo iphambi kwazo. ²³Isango lentendelezo engaphakathi lalibheke esangweni lasentla, njengokuba kunjalo nangasempumalanga; yalinganisa phakathi kwesango nesango—iikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi asixhenxe anantlanu.

Isango Lasezantsi Liyalinganiswa

²⁴Yaza yandikhokelela ngasezantsi, apho kwakukho isango elibheke ezantsi; yalinganisa imigubasi yalo nevaranda yalo, kwalingana nawamanye. ²⁵Iifestile zajikeleza kulo nevaranda yalo, njengezo festile; iikubhite ezimashumi asibhozo anesibhozo ubude, iikubhite ezimashumi mane anesine ububanzi. ²⁶Kwakunyukwa ngezinyuko ezisixhenxe kulo, nevaranda yalo iphambi kwazo, kukho amasundu akrolwe emigubasini yalo, elinye ngapha nelinye ngapha. ²⁷Kwakukho isango elibheke ezantsi lentendelezo engaphakathi; yalinganisa phakathi kwesango nesango ngasezantsi—iikubhite ezilikhulu elinamashumi asixhenxe anantlanu.

Amasango Entendelezo Engaphakathi

²⁸Yaza yandingenisa entendelezweni engaphakathi ngesango lasezantsi, yaza yalinganisa, kwalingana nawamanye. ²⁹Amagumbi alo omgcini, nemigubasi yalo, nevaranda yalo kwaba nomlinganiso omnye, kukho iifestile ngeenxa zonke, kulo nasevarandeni yalo; iikubhite ezimashumi asibhozo anesibhozo ubude, iikubhite ezimashumi mane anesine ububanzi. ³⁰Kwakukho iivaranda ngeenxa zonke, eziziikubhite ezimashumi mane anesine ubude, neekubhite ezihlanu ububanzi. ³¹Ivaranda yalo yayibheke entendelezweni engaphandle, kukho amasundu akrolwe emigubasini yalo; kwakunyukwa ngezinyuko ezisibhozo.

³²Yaza yandingenisa entendelezweni engaphakathi ngasempumalanga, yaza yalinganisa isango, kwalingana nawamanye. ³³Amagumbi alo omgcini, nemigubasi yalo, nevaranda yalo kwalingana, kukho iifestile ngeenxa zonke, kulo nasevarandeni yalo; iikubhite ezimashumi asibhozo anesibhozo ubude, iikubhite ezimashumi mane anesine ububanzi. ³⁴Ivaranda yalo yayibheke entendelezweni engaphandle, kukho amasundu akrolwe emigubasini yalo, elinye ngapha nelinye ngapha; kwakunyukwa ngezinyuko ezisibhozo kulo.

³⁵Yaza yandisa esangweni lasentla, yaza yalinganisa, kwalingana nomlinganiso wamanye. ³⁶Amagumbi alo omgcini, nemigubasi yalo, nevaranda yalo kwalingana, kukho iifestile ngeenxa zonke; laliziikubhite ezimashumi asibhozo anesibhozo ubude, neekubhite ezimashumi mane anesine ububanzi. ³⁷Imigubasi yalo yayibheke entendelezweni engaphandle, kukho amasundu akrolwe kuyo, elinye ngapha nelinye ngapha; kwakunyukwa ngezinyuko ezisibhozo kulo.

³⁸Kwakukho igumbi elinomnyango walo ngasemigubasini yamasango, apho idini elinyukayo lalihlanjelwa khona. ³⁹Evarandeni yesango kwakumi iitafile ezimbini ngapha nezimbini ngapha, zokuxhelela idini elinyukayo, nedini lesono, nedini letyala. ⁴⁰Ngaphandle, apho unyuka khona ukuya emnyango wesango lasentla, kwakumi iitafile ezimbini; nezimbini ngakolunye icala levaranda yesango. ⁴¹Kwakukho iitafile ezine ngapha nangapha ngasesangweni—iitafile ezisibhozo zizonke—ekwakuxhelelwa kuzo imibingelelo. ⁴²Iitafile ezine zamatye aqingqiweyo zedini elinyukayo, ubude bazo bumalunga neefiti ezimbini ezinesiqingatha, ububanzi bube ziifiti ezimbini ezinesiqingatha, ukuphakama kube zii-intshi ezingamashumi amabini ananye, zazibeke izixhobo zokuxhela idini elinyukayo nombingelelo. ⁴³Amagwegwe anamazinyo amabini, obude bungangobubanzi besandla, ayebotshelelwe ngeenxa zonke ngaphakathi; phezu kweetafile kwabekwa inyama yomnikelo.

Amagumbi Abo Balungiselelayo

⁴⁴Ngaphandle kwesango langaphakathi kwakukho amagumbi eemvumi entendelezweni engaphakathi: elinye lingasesangweni elingasentla libheke ezantsi, elinye lingasesangweni elasempumalanga libheke entla. ⁴⁵Wathi kum: “Eli gumbi libheke ezantsi lelababingeleli abagcina isigxina setempile. ⁴⁶Igumbi elibheke entla lelababingeleli abagcina isigxina sesibingelelo. Ngabo aba oonyana bakaTsadoki, abo phakathi koonyana bakaLevi abanokusondela kuBawo wethu ukuze balungiselele kuye.”

Intendelezo Engaphakathi Nevaranda Yetempile

⁴⁷Walinganisa ke intendelezo: ubude bumalunga neefiti ezilikhulu elinamanci asixhenxe anesihlanu, ububanzi bube ziifiti ezilikhulu elinamanci asixhenxe anesihlanu, iyimbombo-ne egqibeleleyo; saza isibingelelo sema phambi kwetempile.

⁴⁸Wandisa ke evarandeni yetempile, walinganisa imigubasi yayo—malunga neefiti ezisithoba ngapha nangapha; ububanzi besango baba ziifiti ezintlanu ngapha nangapha. ⁴⁹Ivaranda yayimalunga neefiti ezingamashumi amathathu anesihlanu ubude, neefiti ezilishumi elinesithoba ububanzi, kwakunyukwa ngezinyuko kuyo; iintsika zazimi ngasemigubasini, inye ngapha, inye ngapha.
