UBaba wethu ukhuluma noMose no-Aroni
Kuchazwa ngokucacile ukuthi yiziphi izidalwa ezingadliwa — inselo ehlukene nokuhlafuna umhlefuzo, amaphiko okubhukuda nezamba, izinyoni eziqanjiwe nezinambuzane kwenqatshelwe — kanye nemithetho yezidumbu ezithinta izimbiza, amaziko nembewu. Isizathu esinikezwayo akusona impilo: nginguBaba wenu; yibani ngcwele, ngokuba mina ngingcwele.
11 1UBaba wethu wakhuluma noMose no-Aroni, wathi kubo:
2“Khulumani kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli nithi: Yilezi izidalwa eziphilayo enivunyelwe ukuzidla phakathi kwazo zonke izilwane ezisemhlabeni. 3Phakathi kwezilwane ningadla noma iyiphi enesondo elihlukene kabili, elidabuke ngokupheleleyo, neyetshisayo.
4“Kodwa lezi akumelwe nizidle phakathi kwalezo eziyetshisayo noma ezinesondo elihlukene: ikamela—liyetshisa kodwa alinaso isondo elihlukene; lingcolile kinina. 5Imbila iyetshisa kodwa ayinaso isondo elihlukene; ingcolile kinina. 6Unogwaja, ngokuba uyetshisa kodwa akanaso isondo elihlukene—ungcolile kinina. 7Nengulube, nakuba inesondo elihlukene, elidabuke ngokupheleleyo, ayetshisi—ingcolile kinina. 8Ningayidli inyama yazo, ningazithinti izidumbu zazo—zingcolile kinina.
9“Yilezi eningazidla kuzo zonke ezisemanzini: konke okunezimpaphe nezinhlazi emanzini, ezilwandle, nasemifuleni—lokho ningakudla. 10Kodwa konke okungenazimpaphe nezinhlazi ezilwandle nasemifuleni, phakathi kwakho konke okunyakazelayo emanzini nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezisemanzini—kuyisinengiso kinina. 11Kuhlala kuyisinengiso kinina; ningayidli inyama yazo, nizenyanye izidumbu zazo. 12Konke okungenazimpaphe noma izinhlazi emanzini—kuyisinengiso kinina.
13“Zenyanyeni lezi zinyoni; ningazidli—ziyisinengiso: ukhozi, nenqe, nenqe elimnyama, 14noklebe, nohheshe ngohlobo lwakhe, 15lonke igwababa ngohlobo lwalo, 16intshe, nenyoni yasebusuku, nengabuzane, noheshe ngohlobo lwakhe, 17isikhova esincane, nevuzi lamanzi, nesikhova esikhulu, 18isikhova esimhlophe, nesikhova sehlane, nenqe elidla izidumbu, 19unogolantethe, nendwandwe ngohlobo lwayo, nensingizi, nelulwane. a a v19 Amalulwane avela lapha ngokuba isigaba sasendulo esithi ‘izinyoni’ sasihlanganisa zonke izidalwa ezindizayo, hhayi nje kuphela lezo ezinezimpaphe.
20“Yonke into enamaphiko enyakazelayo ehamba ngezinyawo ezine iyisinengiso kinina. 21Kodwa lezi ningazidla phakathi kwazo zonke izinto ezinamaphiko ezinyakazelayo ezihamba ngezinyawo ezine: lezo ezinemilenze enamalunga ngaphezu kwezinyawo zazo ukuze zeqe emhlabeni. 22Ningadla lezi: isikhonyane, nesikhonyane esimpabanga, nenyendle, nentethe, kube yileso naleso ngohlobo lwaso. 23Kodwa yonke enye into enamaphiko enyakazelayo enezinyawo ezine iyisinengiso kinina.
24“Lezi zinto ziyakunenza ningcole; wonke othinta izidumbu zazo uyakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe, 25wonke othwala okuthile ezidunjini zazo uyakuhlanza izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
26“Zonke izilwane ezinesondo elihlukene elingadabukanga ngokupheleleyo, noma ezingetshisi, zingcolile kinina; wonke ozithintayo ungcolile. 27Konke okuhamba ngezidladla zakho, phakathi kwazo zonke izilwane ezinezinyawo ezine, kungcolile kinina; wonke othinta izidumbu zakho ungcolile kuze kuhlwe, 28wonke othwala izidumbu zakho uyakuhlanza izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe; kungcolile kinina.
29“Yilezi ezingcolile kinina phakathi kwezinto ezinyakazelayo ezihuquzela emhlabeni: imvukuzane, negundane, nesibankwa esikhulu ngohlobo lwaso, 30nentulo, noxamu, nesibankwa sodonga, nesibankwa esicwebezelayo, nonwabu. 31Yilezi ezingcolile kinina phakathi kwakho konke okunyakazelayo; wonke okuthinta sekufile ungcolile kuze kuhlwe. 32Konke okuwelwa esinye sezidumbu zazo kuyangcola—noma yisiphi isitsha sokhuni, ingubo, isikhumba, noma indwangu yesaka, noma yiliphi ithuluzi lomsebenzi. Kumelwe kufakwe emanzini, kuhlale kungcolile kuze kuhlwe; bese kuhlambuluka. 33Noma yiyiphi imbiza yobumba okuwela kuyo okukodwa kwazo—konke okukuyo kungcolile; niyichoboze. 34Konke ukudla okuthintwa yilawo manzi kuyangcola; nanoma yisiphi isiphuzo esisesitsheni esinjalo siyangcola. 35Konke okuwelwa esinye sezidumbu zazo kuyangcola; iziko noma imbawula kumelwe kudilizwe. Kungcolile, futhi kungcolile kinina. 36Kodwa umthombo noma umgodi wamanzi obamba amanzi uhlala uhlambulukile, kepha wonke othinta izidumbu zazo ungcolile. 37Uma okuthile ezidunjini zazo kuwela phezu kwembewu okumelwe itshalwe, ihlala ihlambulukile. 38Kodwa uma amanzi esefakiwe embewini, kuthi ingxenye yesidumbu sazo iwele phezu kwayo, ingcolile kinina.
39“Uma kufa isilwane enivunyelwe ukusidla, wonke othinta isidumbu saso ungcolile kuze kuhlwe. 40Odla isidumbu saso uyakuhlanza izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe; nothwala isidumbu saso uyakuhlanza izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
41“Yonke into enyakazelayo ehuquzela emhlabeni iyisinengiso; ningayidli. 42Konke okuhamba ngesisu sakho, okuhamba ngezinyawo ezine, noma okunezinyawo eziningi—phakathi kwazo zonke izinto ezinyakazelayo ezihuquzela emhlabeni—ningakudli; kuyisinengiso. 43Ningazenzi nibe yisinengiso nganoma yiyiphi into enyakazelayo ehuquzelayo, ningazingcolisi ngazo, nize ningcole ngazo. 44Ngokuba nginguBaba wenu: zinikeleni, nibe ngcwele, lokhu mina ngingcwele. Ningazingcolisi nganoma yiyiphi into enyakazelayo enwabuzela emhlabeni. 45NginguBaba wenu owanikhipha ezweni laseGibhithe ukuba ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu; yibani ngcwele, ngokuba mina ngingcwele.”
46Lona ngumthetho wezilwane, nowezinyoni, nowazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezinyakazayo emanzini, nowazo zonke izidalwa ezinyakazelayo emhlabeni, 47ukuze kwahlukaniswe okungcolileyo nokuhlambulukileyo, nezilwane ezingadliwa nalezo ezingenakudliwa.
