Ukuhlonipha Isivumelwano Somshado
13Uma indoda ithatha owesifazane, kuthi ngemuva kokulala naye imzonde, 14imsole ngokuziphatha okuyihlazo, imnike igama elibi, ithi: “Ngathatha lo wesifazane, kodwa lapho ngisondela kuye angitholanga bufakazi bobuntombi bakhe,” 15khona-ke uyise nonina wentombazane bazothatha baveze ubufakazi bobuntombi bayo kubadala bomuzi esangweni. 16Uyise wentombazane uzothi kubadala: “Nganika indodakazi yami kule ndoda ukuba ibe ngumkayo, kodwa isiyizonda. 17Manje usemsolile ngokuziphatha okuyihlazo, ethi, ‘Angitholanga bufakazi bobuntombi bendodakazi yakho.’ Kodwa nakhu ubufakazi bobuntombi bendodakazi yami.’ Bazokwendlala indwangu phambi kwabadala bomuzi.” 18Khona-ke abadala balowo muzi bazothatha leyo ndoda bayijezise, 19futhi bazoyihlawulisa isiliva esilingana nomholo wonyaka bayinike uyise wentombazane, ngokuba inike intombi yakwa-Israyeli igama elibi. Izohlala ingumkayo; akanakuyilahla zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe.
20Kodwa uma isinsolo siyiqiniso, kungatholakali bufakazi bobuntombi bentombazane, 21kumele bayilethe intombazane emnyango wendlu kayise, amadoda omuzi wayo ayikhande ngamatshe ize ife ngokuba yenze into eyihlazo kwa-Israyeli—yaziphatha kabi endlini kayise. Susa okubi phakathi kwenu.
22Uma indoda itholakala ilele nomfazi womunye umuntu, bobabili kumele bafe—indoda elele naye, nalowo wesifazane. Susa okubi kwa-Israyeli. 23Uma kukhona intombi, egane indoda ngesithembiso, bese enye indoda iyithola edolobheni ilale nayo, 24balethe bobabili esangweni lalowo muzi ubakhande ngamatshe baze bafe: intombazane, ngokuba ingamemezanga icela usizo edolobheni; indoda, ngokuba yonile kumfazi womakhelwane wayo. Khipha okubi phakathi kwenu. 25Kodwa uma indoda ithola intombi eganiselwe endle, iyibambe ilale nayo, kufe yona yodwa. 26Ungayenzi lutho intombazane; ayinaso isono esifanele ukufa. Lolu daba lunjengendoda ehlasela umakhelwane wayo iyibulale: 27ngokuba wayithola endle; intombi eganiselwe yamemeza, kodwa akubangakho noyedwa owayisindisa. 28Uma indoda ithola intombi engakaganiselwa muntu, iyibambe ilale nayo, bese bayatholakala, 29indoda elele nayo kumele inike uyise wentombazane isiliva esilingana nencenye yomholo wonyaka; iba ngumkayo ngokuba iyihlukumezile, futhi ngeke iyilahle impilo yayo yonke. 30Indoda akumelwe ithathe umfazi kayise; akumelwe idumaze umbhede womshado kayise.
