Izibhambathiso neengcwaliso
Izinto ezingcwaliselwe uBawo wethu zinikwa amaxabiso emali—abantu ngokweminyaka yabo, izilwanyana, izindlu, namasimi abalelwe ngokwejubili ezayo—kongezwe isahlulo sesihlanu xa umntu efuna ukubuyisa into. Amazibulo nesishumi akanakungcwaliswa kwaphela: sele ezezakhe kakade.
27 1Wathetha uBawo wethu kuMoses, wathi:
2“Thetha koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthi kubo: Xa umntu ethe wenza isibhambathiso esibalulekileyo kum, engcwalisa umntu ngokulinganisela ixabiso lakhe, 3ukuba ukulinganisela kungokwendoda ethabathela kuminyaka imashumi mabini ezelwe kude kube kuminyaka imashumi mathandathu, ixabiso loba ziishekele ezimashumi mahlanu zesilivere ngokweshekele yengcwele. 4Ukuba yinkazana, ukulinganisela koba ziishekele ezimashumi mathathu. 5Ukuba kuthabathela kuminyaka mihlanu kuse kuminyaka imashumi mabini, ukulinganisela kwendoda koba ziishekele ezimashumi mabini, nokwenkazana koba ziishekele ezilishumi. 6Ukuba kuthabathela kunyana onyanga-nye kuse kuminyaka mihlanu ezelwe, ukulinganisela kwendoda koba ziishekele ezintlanu zesilivere, nokwenkazana koba ziishekele ezintathu zesilivere. 7Ukuba kuminyaka imashumi mathandathu inyuse, ukulinganisela kwendoda koba ziishekele ezilishumi elinantlanu, nokwenkazana koba ziishekele ezilishumi. 8Kodwa ukuba uhlwempuzekile, akanako ukulinganisela, woziswa phambi kombingeleli, aze umbingeleli amlinganisele; umbingeleli womlinganisela ngokokufikelela kwesandla salowo wenze isibhambathiso.
9“Ukuba isibhambathiso siyinkomo enokusondezwa kum, yonke into enjalo eyinikwa kum yoba ngcwele. 10Makangayitshintshi, angayimiseli enye, elungileyo ngembi, nembi ngelungileyo; ukuba uthe wayimisela inkomo enye ngenye, yona nemiselo wayo zoba ngcwele zombini. 11Ukuba yinkomo eyinqambi engenakusondezwa kum, yoziswa phambi kombingeleli, 12umbingeleli ayilinganisele, nokuba ilungile nokuba imbi; njengokuyilinganisela kombingeleli, iya kuba njalo. 13Kodwa ukuba uthanda ukuyikhulula ngentlawulelo, makongeze isihlanu kukulinganisela kwayo.
14“Xa umntu ethe wangcwalisa indlu yakhe ibe yingcwele kum, umbingeleli woyilinganisela, nokuba ilungile nokuba imbi; njengokuyilinganisela kombingeleli, iya kuma ngokunjalo. 15Ukuba lowo wangcwalisa indlu yakhe uthe wayikhulula ngentlawulelo, makongeze isihlanu semali yokulinganisela kwayo, ibe yeyakhe.
16“Ukuba umntu uthe wangcwalisa kum inxenye yentsimi eyeyakhe, ixabiso layo lolandela imbewu yayo—iishekele ezimashumi mahlanu zesilivere ngehomere yembewu yerhasi. 17Ukuba uyingcwalisa intsimi yakhe ethabathela emnyakeni wentlokoma, makume ngokulinganisela kwayo kuphela. 18Kodwa ukuba uyingcwalisa intsimi yakhe emveni komnyaka wentlokoma, umbingeleli wobala ixabiso ngokweminyaka eseleyo ukuya emnyakeni wentlokoma ozayo, akunciphise ukulinganisela ngokokulingana nako. 19Ukuba lowo uyingcwalisayo intsimi uthanda ukuyikhulula ngentlawulelo, makongeze isihlanu semali yesilivere yayo, iqhubeke ibe yeyakhe. 20Kodwa ukuba akayikhululi intsimi, nokuba uyithengisile komnye, ayisenakukhululwa ngentlawulelo. 21Yakukhululwa intsimi ngomnyaka wentlokoma, yoba yingcwele kum, njengentsimi esingelwe phantsi; yoba yeyombingeleli ibe yeyakhe.
22“Ukuba umntu uthe wangcwalisa kum intsimi ayithengileyo, engeyiyo inxenye yelifa lakhe lakooyise, 23umbingeleli wobala ixabiso lokulinganisela ukuya emnyakeni wentlokoma, aze alirhole ngaloo mini libe yingcwele kum. 24Ngomnyaka wentlokoma intsimi yobuyela kwalowo yathengwa kuye, lowo umhlaba ongowakhe. 25Konke ukulinganisela koba ngokweshekele yengcwele.
26“Makungabikho mntu ungcwalisa amazibulo enkomo; sele ngawam—nokuba yinkomo nokuba yimvu, ngawam. 27Ukuba yinkomo eyinqambi, woyikhulula ngentlawulelo ngokulinganisela ongeze isihlanu; ukuba ayikhululwanga, yothengiswa ngokulinganisela.
28“Kodwa yonke into umntu ayisingela phantsi kum—nokuba ngumntu, nokuba yinkomo, nokuba yintsimi eyeyakhe—ayinakuthengiswa, ingakhululwa ngentlawulelo. Yonke into esingelwe phantsi ngokunjalo iyingcwele kangcwele kum. a a v28 Into “esingelwe phantsi” yayinikezelwa kuBawo wethu ingenakubuyiselwa—yahlulelwa ngokupheleleyo kangangokuba ingabi nakukhululwa nakuthengiswa.
29“Akukho mntu usingelwe phantsi onokukhululwa ngentlawulelo; makabulawe afe.
30“Sonke isishumi somhlaba, nokuba sembewu yomhlaba, nokuba seziqhamo zemithi, sesam; siyingcwele kum. 31Ukuba umntu uthe wakhulula inxenye yesishumi sakhe, makongeze isihlanu kuso. 32Sonke isishumi senkomo nempahla emfutshane—yonke inkomo edlula phantsi kwentonga yomalusi—siyingcwele kum. 33Makangahloli nokuba ilungile nokuba imbi, angayimiseli enye; ukuba uthe wenjenjalo, yona nemiselo wayo zoba ngcwele zombini, zingabi nakukhululwa ngentlawulelo.”
34Le yimithetho uBawo wethu awayinika uMoses, eyoonyana bakaSirayeli, entabeni yaseSinayi.
