1 1UBawo wethu wambiza uMoses, wathetha kuye esisententeni yokuhlangana, esithi:
2“Thetha koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthi kubo: Xa ubani kuni esondeza umsondezo kum, nize nisondeze umsondezo wenu wemfuyo yasezinkomeni nasempahleni emfutshane.
3“Ukuba umsondezo wakhe lidini elinyukayo lasezinkomeni, wosondeza iduna eligqibeleleyo, alisondeze emnyango wentente yokuhlangana, ukuze lamkeleke phambi kwam. 4Wocinezela ngesandla sakhe phezu kwentloko yedini elinyukayo, lamkeleke ke ngenxa yakhe, ukuze amcamagushele. 5Woyixhela inkunzi entsha phambi kwam; aze ababingeleli, oonyana baka-Aron, balizise igazi, balitshize esibingelelweni ngeenxa zonke, emnyango wentente yokuhlangana. 6Wandula ukulihluba idini elinyukayo, aze alityatye libe ngamaqhekeza alo. 7Oonyana baka-Aron, ababingeleli, bobasa umlilo esibingelelweni, bacwangcise iinkuni phezu kwawo. 8Oonyana baka-Aron, ababingeleli, bawacwangcise amaqhekeza, nentloko, nenqatha, phezu kweenkuni eziphezu komlilo osesibingelelweni. 9Wozihlamba izibilini zalo neentungo zalo ngamanzi; umbingeleli aqhumisele ngalo iphela esibingelelweni—lidini elinyukayo, kukudla kwasemlilweni, livumba elithozamisayo kum. a a v9 Idini elinyukayo lalidliwa liphela esibingelelweni, linikelwa ngokupheleleyo kuBawo wethu. Lingumfuziselo kaYesu, owazinikela ngokupheleleyo njengomsondezo onevumba elithozamisayo ngenxa yethu (Efese 5:2).
10“Ukuba idini lakhe elinyukayo lelasempahleni emfutshane—iigusha nokuba ziibhokhwe—wozisa iduna eligqibeleleyo. 11Woyixhela ngasentla kwesibingelelo phambi kwam; oonyana baka-Aron, ababingeleli, balitshize igazi layo, bajikelezise esibingelelweni. 12Woyityatya ibe ngamaqhekeza—intloko nenqatha—umbingeleli awacwangcise phezu kweenkuni eziphezu komlilo osesibingelelweni. 13Wozihlamba izibilini neentungo ngamanzi; umbingeleli alisondeze liphela, aqhumisele ngalo esibingelelweni—lidini elinyukayo, kukudla kwasemlilweni, livumba elithozamisayo kum.
14“Ukuba idini lakhe elinyukayo kum liyintaka, wosondeza amahobe nokuba ngamagobo evukuthu, abe ngumsondezo wakhe. 15Umbingeleli woyizisa esibingelelweni, ayinqamle intloko, aqhumisele ngayo apho; igazi layo likhanyelwe ecaleni lesibingelelo. 16Wosusa isingxobo sayo nomswane walo, awuphose ecaleni lesibingelelo ngasempumalanga, endaweni yothuthu. 17Woyikrazula ngamaphiko ayo, angayahluli ngokupheleleyo; umbingeleli aqhumisele ngayo esibingelelweni, phezu kweenkuni eziphezu komlilo—lidini elinyukayo, kukudla kwasemlilweni, livumba elithozamisayo kum.”
