²“Lapho umuntu enedumba, noma uqubuka, noma ibala elikhanyayo esikhumbeni sakhe okuphenduka kube yisifo sesikhumba, kumele alethwe ku-Aroni umphristi noma komunye wamadodana akhe angabaphristi. ^a a v2 Isimo sesikhumba esichazwa lapha akusona isifo sanamuhla esibizwa ngochoko (isifo sikaHansen); sihlanganisa uhlobo oluhlukahlukene lwezimo ezanda zesikhumba, zezindwangu, nezezinto, ezazenza umuntu angcole ngokomkhuba wenkonzo. ³Umphristi uhlola isici esisesikhumbeni. Uma uboya obukuso sebuphenduke bamhlophe futhi sibonakala sijule kunesikhumba, kuyisifo sesikhumba esingcolisayo; umphristi uyamhlola amemezele ukuthi ungcolile. ⁴Kodwa uma ibala elikhanyayo elisesikhumbeni sakhe limhlophe, lingajulanga kunesikhumba, futhi uboya balo bungaphendukanga baba mhlophe, umphristi kumele amvalele lowo muntu izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ⁵Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi uyamhlola; uma isici singaguqukanga futhi singandanga esikhumbeni, umvalela ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ⁶Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi umhlola futhi. Uma isilonda sesifiphele futhi singandanga esikhumbeni, umemezela ukuthi uhlanzekile—kungukuqubuka nje. Uyazigeza izingubo zakhe abe ehlanzekile. ⁷Kodwa uma ukuqubuka sekwanda esikhumbeni sakhe emva kokuziveza kumphristi ukuze ahlanzwe, kumele aziveze kumphristi futhi. ⁸Umphristi uyamhlola: uma ukuqubuka sekwandile esikhumbeni, umemezela ukuthi ungcolile—kuyisifo sesikhumba.

⁹“Lapho isifo sesikhumba esingcolisayo sivela kumuntu, kumele alethwe kumphristi. ¹⁰Umphristi uyamhlola: uma idumba elimhlophe elisesikhumbeni seliphendule uboya baba mhlophe, futhi kukhona inyama ephilayo kulo. ¹¹Kuyisifo sesikhumba esingamahlalakhona; umphristi uyakumemezela ukuthi ungcolile. Akumele amvalele, ngokuba usengcolile.

¹²“Kodwa uma isifo seqhuma sagubuzela sonke isikhumba sakhe, kusukela ekhanda kuye ezinyaweni, yonke indawo umphristi abuka kuyo, ¹³umphristi uyamhlola; uma isifo sigubuzele umzimba wakhe wonke, umemezela ukuthi uhlanzekile—njengoba konke sekuphenduke kwaba mhlophe, uhlanzekile. ¹⁴Kodwa ngosuku inyama ephilayo evela kuye, uyakuba ngongcolile. ¹⁵Umphristi uyibona inyama ephilayo amemezele ukuthi ungcolile; inyama ephilayo ingcolile—kuyisifo sesikhumba. ¹⁶Kodwa uma inyama ephilayo iguquka iphenduke ibe mhlophe, uyakuza kumphristi. ¹⁷Umphristi uyamhlola; uma isici sesiphenduke saba mhlophe, umemezela ukuthi uhlanzekile—uhlanzekile.

¹⁸“Lapho umuntu enethumba esikhumbeni sakhe bese liyaphola, ¹⁹uma kuvela idumba elimhlophe noma ibala elikhanyayo elibomvana-mhlophe ethunjeni, kumele liboniswe kumphristi. ²⁰Umphristi uyalihlola; uma libonakala lijule kunesikhumba futhi uboya sebuphenduke baba mhlophe, umemezela ukuthi ungcolile—isifo sesikhumba seqhume ethunjeni. ²¹Kodwa uma umphristi engaboni boya obumhlophe kulo, lingekho ngaphansi kwesikhumba, futhi selifiphele, uyakumvalela izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ²²Uma landa kakhulu esikhumbeni, umphristi umemezela ukuthi ungcolile; kuyisifo. ²³Kodwa uma ibala elikhanyayo lihlala endaweni yalo, lingandanga, kuyisibazi sethumba, ngakho umphristi kumele amemezele ukuthi uhlanzekile.

²⁴“Noma lapho isikhumba sinesilonda somlilo, bese inyama ephilayo yesilonda iba yibala elikhanyayo elibomvana-mhlophe noma elimhlophe, ²⁵umphristi uyalihlola: uma uboya obusebaleni elikhanyayo buphenduke baba mhlophe futhi libonakala lijule kunesikhumba, kuyisifo sesikhumba esiqhume esilondeni—umemezela ukuthi ungcolile; kuyisifo sesikhumba. ²⁶Uma umphristi elihlola engatholi boya obumhlophe ebaleni elikhanyayo, futhi lingajulile kunesikhumba kodwa selifiphele, uyakumvalela izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ²⁷Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi uyamhlola. Uma landile esikhumbeni, umphristi umemezela ukuthi ungcolile—kuyisifo sesikhumba esingcolisayo. ²⁸Kodwa uma ibala elikhanyayo lihlala endaweni yalo, lingandanga esikhumbeni, futhi selifiphele, kuyidumba lesilonda; umphristi uyakumemezela ukuthi uhlanzekile—kuyisibazi nje sesilonda.

²⁹“Lapho indoda noma owesifazane enesici ekhanda noma entshebeni, ³⁰umphristi uhlola isici; uma sijule kunesikhumba, sinoboya obuncane obuphuzi, umemezela ukuthi ungcolile—kuwutwayi, isifo sesikhumba sekhanda noma sentshebe. ³¹Kodwa uma umphristi ehlola isici sotwayi futhi sibonakala singajulile kunesikhumba singenaboya obumnyama kuso, umphristi uyakumvalela lowo muntu izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ³²Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi uhlola isici: uma utwayi lungandanga, lungenaboya obuphuzi, futhi sibonakala singajulile kunesikhumba. ³³Lowo muntu uyakuphuca, kodwa angayiphuci indawo yesilonda; umphristi umvalela ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ³⁴Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi uhlola utwayi. Uma lungandanga esikhumbeni futhi lubonakala lungajulile kunesikhumba, umphristi umemezela ukuthi uhlanzekile. Uyazigeza izingubo zakhe abe ehlanzekile. ³⁵Kodwa uma utwayi landa kakhulu esikhumbeni emva kokuhlanzwa kwakhe, ³⁶umphristi uyamhlola; uma utwayi selwandile esikhumbeni, umphristi akudingeki afune uboya obuphuzi—lowo muntu ungcolile. ³⁷Kodwa uma umphristi elubona lungaguqukanga, sekukhule uboya obumnyama kulo, selupholile; uhlanzekile—umphristi umemezela ukuthi uhlanzekile.

³⁸“Lapho indoda noma owesifazane enamabala akhanyayo amhlophe esikhumbeni sakhe, ³⁹umphristi uyabahlola; uma amabala akhanyayo asesikhumbeni emhlophe afiphele, kungukuqubuka okungenangozi okuqhume esikhumbeni; uhlanzekile.

⁴⁰“Lapho indoda ilahlekelwa yizinwele zekhanda layo, iyimpandla, kodwa ihlanzekile. ⁴¹Uma izinwele ziwa ngaphambili kwekhanda layo, ibunzi layo liyimpandla, kodwa uhlanzekile. ⁴²Kodwa uma kukhona isilonda esibomvana-mhlophe empandleni yakhe noma ebunzini lakhe, kuyisifo sesikhumba esiqhuma empandleni yakhe noma ebunzini lakhe. ⁴³Umphristi uyamhlola; uma kukhona idumba elibomvana-mhlophe empandleni yakhe noma ebunzini lakhe, njengesifo sesikhumba esisesikhumbeni somzimba. ⁴⁴Indoda enesifo sesikhumba ingcolile; umphristi kumele amemezele ukuthi ingcolile, isici sayo sisekhanda layo.

⁴⁵“Wonke umuntu onesifo sesikhumba kumele agqoke izingubo eziklebhukile, ayekele izinwele zakhe zihlakazeke, amboze indebe yakhe engenhla, amemeze athi, ‘Ngcolile, ngcolile!’ ^b b v45 Ukumboza indebe engenhla kwakuwuphawu lwasendulo lokuzila nolokususwa emphakathini. ⁴⁶Lapho isici sisekhona, ungcolile—ungcolile; kumele ahlale yedwa, ngaphandle kwekamu.

Isikhunta Ezingutsheni

⁴⁷“Lapho ingubo inesici sesikhunta kuyo, kungaba ingubo yoboya bezimvu noma ingubo yelineni, ⁴⁸endwangwini yelineni noma yoboya bezimvu, eyelukiwe noma eyenithiwe, noma esikhumbeni noma kunoma yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba, ⁴⁹uma isici esisengutsheni, noma esikhumbeni, noma kokwendlaliweyo, noma kokwelukiweyo, noma kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lwempahla yesikhumba, siluhlazana noma sibomvana, kuyisikhunta, futhi kumele kuboniswe kumphristi. ⁵⁰Umphristi uyakuhlola isici bese evalela impahla ethintekile izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ⁵¹Ngosuku lwesikhombisa uhlola isici. Uma sesandile engutsheni, kokwendlaliweyo noma kokwelukiweyo, noma esikhumbeni noma kunoma yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba, kuyisikhunta esibhubhisayo—kungcolile. ⁵²Shisa ingubo—okwendlaliweyo noma okwelukiweyo, uboya bezimvu noma ilineni—noma yiluphi uhlobo lwempahla yesikhumba olunesici, ngokuba kuyisikhunta esibhubhisayo; kumele kushiswe emlilweni.

⁵³“Kodwa uma umphristi esihlola futhi isilonda singandanga engutsheni, noma kokwendlaliweyo, noma kokwelukiweyo, noma kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lwempahla yesikhumba, ⁵⁴umphristi uyakuyala ukuba impahla enesici igezwe, bese eyivalela ezinye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa. ⁵⁵Emva kokugezwa kwendwangu ethintekile, umphristi uyayihlola. Uma ukubonakala kwesici kungaguqukanga, nakuba singandanga, kungcolile. Kumele kushiswe emlilweni—kuyibala elidlayo, kungaba ngaphakathi noma ngaphandle. ⁵⁶Uma umphristi ebona ukuthi isici sesifiphele emva kokugezwa, kumele asidabule asisuse engutsheni, noma esikhumbeni, noma endwangwini eyelukiwe noma eyenithiwe. ⁵⁷Uma sibuye sivele engutsheni, eyelukiwe noma eyenithiwe, noma kunoma yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba, siyanda; kumele kushiswe emlilweni lokho okunesici. ⁵⁸Kodwa uma isici sisuka engutsheni, kokwendlaliweyo, kokwelukiweyo, noma empahleni yesikhumba oyigezile, kumele kugezwe futhi—sekuhlanzekile.

⁵⁹“Lona ngumthetho wesici sesikhunta esisengutsheni yoboya bezimvu noma yelineni, kokwendlaliweyo noma kokwelukiweyo, noma kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lwempahla yesikhumba—wokumemezela ukuthi kuhlanzekile noma kungcolile.”
