14 ¹Wathi uBawo wethu kuMoses:

²“Nguwo lo umthetho woneqhenqa ngomhla wokuhlanjululwa kwakhe: woziswa kumbingeleli. ³Umbingeleli wophuma aye ngaphandle kweminquba, amkhangele; ukuba iqhenqa lakhe lipholile, ⁴umbingeleli wowisa umthetho ukuba kuthatyathelwe lowo uhlanjululwayo iintaka ezimbini eziphilileyo ezihlambulukileyo, nomsedare, nosinga olubomvu, nehisope. ^a a v4 Ihisope yayisisityalo esincinane esinamasebe, awayesetyenziswa njengebrashi yemvelo yokufefa ulwelo kwizithethe zokuhlambulula. ⁵Umbingeleli wowisa umthetho ukuba enye intaka ixhelwe phezu kwempahla yomdongwe enamanzi aphilileyo. ⁶Uze athabathe intaka esaphilayo, nomsedare, nosinga olubomvu, nehisope; aze ezi zinto, kunye naloo ntaka isaphilayo, azithi nkxu egazini lentaka exhelwe ngaphezu kwamanzi aphilileyo. ⁷Wofefa igazi izihlandlo ezisixhenxe phezu kolowo uhlanjululwa iqhenqa, athi uhlambulukile, aze ayikhulule intaka ephilileyo iye endle. ^b b v7 Enye intaka yayibulawa, enye, ithe nkxu egazini layo, ikhululwe ukuba imke iphaphazela iphilile — umfanekiso wokufa nobomi obuvukayo, awathi uYesu ngabo wahlambulula abantu bakhe ngenye imini.

⁸“Lowo uhlanjululwayo wozihlamba iingubo zakhe, azichebe zonke iinwele zakhe, ahlambe emanzini—aze ahlambuluke. Emveni koko wongena eminqubeni, kodwa ahlale ngaphandle kwentente yakhe imihla esixhenxe. ⁹Ngomhla wesixhenxe makazicheba zonke iinwele zakhe—intloko neendevu neenkophe—athi phethe ekuchebeni ezo nwele zakhe zonke. Emva koko wohlamba iingubo zakhe, awuhlambe emanzini umzimba wakhe, abe sele ehlambulukile.

¹⁰“Ngomhla wesibhozo wothabatha iimvana ezimbini eziyinkunzi ezigqibeleleyo, nemvanazana emnyaka mnye egqibeleleyo, neekwati ezintathu zomgubo ocoliweyo ogalelwe ioli ube ngumnikelo wokudla, nendebe yeoli. ¹¹Umbingeleli ohlambululayo womisa lowo uhlanjululwayo, kunye nale minikelo, phambi koBawo wethu emnyango wentente yokuhlangana.

¹²“Umbingeleli wothabatha enye imvana eyinkunzi, ayisondeze ibe lidini letyala, kunye neoli, azitshangatshangise zibe ngumtshangatshangiso phambi koBawo wethu. ¹³Woyixhela imvana endaweni apho kuxhelelwa khona idini lesono nedini elinyukayo, endaweni engcwele—kuba idini letyala, njengedini lesono, lelombingeleli; liyingcwele kangcwele. ¹⁴Umbingeleli wocaphula egazini ledini letyala, aliqabe esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yolowo uhlanjululwayo, nasesithupheni sesandla sakhe sokunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwakhe lwasekunene. ¹⁵Umbingeleli wothabatha enxenye yeoli, ayigalele entendeni yesandla sakhe sasekhohlo. ¹⁶Wowuthi nkxu umnwe wakhe wasekunene kuloo oli isentendeni yakhe yasekhohlo, afefe ngenxenye ngomnwe wakhe izihlandlo ezisixhenxe phambi koBawo wethu. ¹⁷Ngeoli eseleyo entendeni yakhe, umbingeleli woqaba enxenye esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yolowo uhlanjululwayo, nasesithupheni sesandla sakhe sokunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwakhe lwasekunene, phezu kwegazi ledini letyala. ¹⁸Umbingeleli wothabatha eoli eseleyo entendeni yakhe ayibeke entlokweni yolowo uhlanjululwayo, amcamagushele phambi koBawo wethu. ¹⁹Umbingeleli wosondeza idini lesono, amcamagushele lowo uhlanjululwayo ebunqambini bakhe; emveni koko axhele idini elinyukayo. ²⁰Umbingeleli wonyusa idini elinyukayo nomnikelo wokudla esibingelelweni, amcamagushele, ahlambuluke ke.

²¹“Kodwa ukuba ulihlwempu, isandla sakhe singenako, wothabatha enye imvana eyinkunzi ibe lidini letyala, litshangatshangiselwe ukucamagushelwa kwakhe, kunye neekwati ezimbini zomgubo ocoliweyo ogalelwe ioli, ibe ngumnikelo wokudla, nendebe yeoli, ²²namahobe amabini, nokuba ngamagobo amabini amavukuthu—into esinokuyifumana isandla sakhe, elinye libe lidini lesono, elinye libe lidini elinyukayo.

²³“Ngomhla wesibhozo wowazisa ngenxa yokuhlanjululwa kwakhe kumbingeleli, emnyango wentente yokuhlangana, phambi koBawo wethu. ²⁴Umbingeleli wothabatha imvana yedini letyala nelogi yeoli, azitshangatshangise zibe ngumtshangatshangiso phambi koBawo wethu. ²⁵Woyixhela imvana yedini letyala, acaphule egazini layo, aliqabe esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yolowo uhlanjululwayo, nasesithupheni sesandla sakhe sokunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwakhe lwasekunene. ²⁶Umbingeleli wogalela enxenye yeoli entendeni yesandla sakhe sasekhohlo, ²⁷afefe ngomnwe wakhe wasekunene enxenye yeoli esentendeni yakhe yasekhohlo izihlandlo ezisixhenxe phambi koBawo wethu. ²⁸Umbingeleli woqaba eoli esentendeni yakhe esithinzini sendlebe yasekunene yolowo uhlanjululwayo, nasesithupheni sesandla sakhe sokunene, nakubhontsi wonyawo lwakhe lwasekunene, phezu kwendawo yegazi ledini letyala. ²⁹Umbingeleli wobeka eoli eseleyo entendeni yakhe entlokweni yolowo uhlanjululwayo, ukumcamagushela phambi koBawo wethu. ³⁰Aze asondeze elinye lamahobe, nokuba ngamagobo amavukuthu, into esinokuyifumana isandla sakhe. ³¹Into esinokuyifumana isandla sakhe—elinye libe lidini lesono, elinye libe lidini elinyukayo, kunye nomnikelo wokudla. Umbingeleli wocamagusha phambi koBawo wethu ngenxa yolowo uhlanjululwayo.

³²“Nguwo lo umthetho woneqhenqa ongenako ukufumana iminikelo yokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.”

Iqhenqa Endlwini

³³Wathi uBawo wethu kuMoses naku-Aron:

³⁴“Xa nithe nangena ezweni laseKanan, endininika lona libe lelenu, ndaza ndabeka iqhenqa elisasazekayo endlwini elizweni eninalo, ³⁵umnini wayo woza axelele umbingeleli, athi: ‘Kubonakele into enjengesibetho endlwini yam.’ ³⁶Umbingeleli wowisa umthetho ukuba kukhutshwe konke okusendlwini ngaphambi kokuba angene akhangele isibetho, ukuze kungabikho nto ikuyo eya kuthiwa iyinqambi; aze angene akhangele indlu. ³⁷Asikhangele isibetho, ukuba sikwiindonga zendlu—kukho iindawo ezitshonileyo ezibuhlazarha nokuba zibomvana, ezibonakala zithe gangqa kunodonga. ³⁸Umbingeleli wophuma endlwini ngomnyango wayo, ayivalele imihla esixhenxe. ³⁹Ngomhla wesixhenxe umbingeleli wobuya ukuze akhangele. Ukuba isibetho siqhenqethile ezindongeni zendlu, ⁴⁰wowisa umthetho ukuba amatye anesibetho akhutshwe, aphoswe ngaphandle komzi, endaweni eyinqambi. ⁴¹Le ndlu makayipale macala onke ngaphakathi, aze udaka aluphalayo aluthululele kwindawo eyinqambi engaphandle komzi. ⁴²Kothathwa amanye amatye abekwe esikhundleni sawokuqala, kuqatshwe indlu ngodaka olutsha.

⁴³Ukuba isibetho sithe sabuya sabonakala endlwini, emva kokuba amatye ekhutshiwe, indlu ipaliwe, yaqatshwa, ⁴⁴umbingeleli wongena akhangele; ukuba isibetho sithe saqhenqetha endlwini, liqhenqa elimandundu endlwini: yinqambi ke leyo. ⁴⁵Woyidiliza indlu, amatye ayo, nemithi yayo, nodaka lwayo lonke, akuse ngaphandle komzi endaweni eyinqambi. ⁴⁶Osukuba engena endlwini leyo ngexesha isavaliwe, woba yinqambi kude kuhlwe. ⁴⁷Osukuba elala endlwini leyo, nosukuba esidla kuyo, wozihlamba iingubo zakhe.

⁴⁸Ke ukuba umbingeleli uthe weza, wasikhangela, isibetho asizange saqhenqetha endlwini emva kokuba iqatshiwe, umbingeleli wothi indlu ihlambulukile: kuba sipholile isibetho. ⁴⁹Ukuze ayihlambulule indlu, wothabatha iintaka ezimbini, nomsedare, nosinga olubomvu, nehisope, ⁵⁰aze axhelele enye yeentaka empahleni yodongwe phezu kwamanzi aphilileyo. ⁵¹Uze athabathe umsedare, nehisope, nosinga olubomvu, kwanentaka ephilayo; ezi zinto aziphose ngokuthi nkxu emanzini aphilileyo nasegazini lentaka exheliweyo, aze ayitshize indlu izihlandlo ezisixhenxe. ⁵²Wayihlambulula ke indlu ngegazi lentaka, nangamanzi aphilileyo, nangentaka ephilayo, nangomsedare, nangehisope, nangosinga olubomvu. ⁵³Aze ayikhulule intaka ephilayo ngaphandle komzi iye endle, ayicamagushele indlu, ihlambuluke ke.”

⁵⁴Nguwo lowo umyalelo wazo zonke izibetho zeqhenqa, nokudlathuka, ⁵⁵neqhenqa lasengutyeni nelasendlwini, ⁵⁶nokufukuka, nokujaduka, netshatshazi, ⁵⁷ukufundisa ukuba yinini na into eyinqambi nokuba yinini na ehlambulukileyo. Nguwo lowo umyalelo weqhenqa nowesibetho seqhenqa.
