UBawo wethu Uthetha kuMoses
Emva kokuzala, unina uba yinqambi iintsuku ezisixhenxe ngonyana, nezilishumi elinane ngentombi, aze andule azalisekise ukuhlanjululwa okude ngaphambi kokusondela entweni engcwele. Uzisa imvana nentaka, okanye amahobe amabini ukuba akanakuyifumana imvana.
12 1UBawo wethu wathetha kuMoses, wathi:
2“Yithi koonyana bakaSirayeli: Umfazi, xa athe wamitha wazala unyana, woba yinqambi imihla esixhenxe; woba yinqambi njengasekungcoleni kobunqambi bakhe. 3Ngomhla wesibhozo yokwaluswa inyama yokwaluswa kwakhe. 4Wohlala egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe imihla emashumi mathathu anamithathu. Uze angachukumisi nto ingcwele, angangeni engcweleni, ide izaliseke imihla yokuhlanjululwa kwakhe. 5Ukuba intombi athe wayizala, uba yinqambi iiveki ezimbini, njengokuba esekungcoleni kwakhe; aze ahlale imihla emashumi mathandathu anamithandathu egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
6“Xa ithe yazaliseka imihla yokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngenxa yonyana nokuba yintombi, wozisa kumbingeleli emnyango wentente yokuhlangana imvana emnyaka mnye, ibe lidini elinyukayo, negobo levukuthu nokuba lihobe, libe lidini lesono. 7Wolisondeza phambi koBawo wethu, amcamagushele; wohlambuluka ekumpompozeni kwegazi lakhe. Nguwo lowo umyalelo womfazi ozala, nokuba ngunyana nokuba yintombi.
8“Ukuba isandla sakhe sithe asaba nakuyifumana imvana, wothabatha amahobe amabini, nokuba ngamagobo amabini evukuthu—elinye libe lidini elinyukayo, elinye libe lidini lesono. Umbingeleli womcamagushela, aze ahlambuluke.” a a v8 Xa usapho lwalungenakuyifumana imvana, uBawo wethu wabenzela indawo amahlwempu ngesi sipho sincinane — kananjalo nguwo kanye lo msondezo awazisa uMariya xa wammisa uYesu etempileni.
