13“Lapho lo muntu ovuzayo esehlanjululiwe kukho, makabale izinsuku eziyisikhombisa zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, awashe izingubo zakhe, ageze umzimba wakhe ngamanzi agelezayo amasha, abe hlanzekile. 14Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili makathathe amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amajuba amabili, eze phambi kukaBaba wethu emnyango wetende lokuhlangana, awanike umpristi. 15Umpristi makanikele ngelinye libe ngumnikelo wesono, elinye libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa, umpristi amenzele inhlawulelo phambi kukaBaba wethu ngenxa yokuvuza kwakhe.
16“Uma inhlanyelo iphuma kuyo indoda, makageze umzimba wakhe wonke ngamanzi, abe ngcolile kuze kuhlwe. 17Noma yisiphi isembatho noma isikhumba okukuso inhlanyelo makuwashwe ngamanzi, kuhlale kungcolile kuze kuhlwe. 18Uma indoda ilala nowesifazane kuphume inhlanyelo, bobabili mabageze ngamanzi, bahlale bengcolile kuze kuhlwe.
19“Lapho owesifazane evuza igazi emzimbeni wakhe, uhlala ekungcoleni kwakhe kokuya esikhathini izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; noma ubani omthintayo ungcolile kuze kuhlwe. 20Konke alala kukho ngesikhathi sokungcola kwakhe kungcolile, nakho konke ahlala phezu kwakho kungcolile. 21Noma ubani othinta umbhede wakhe makawashe izingubo zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngcolile kuze kuhlwe. 22Noma ubani othinta lokho ahlala phezu kwakho makawashe izingubo zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, ahlale engcolile kuze kuhlwe. 23Noma kungumbhede noma kuyilokho ahlala phezu kwakho, ukukuthinta kwenza umuntu abe ngcolile kuze kuhlwe.
24“Uma indoda ilala naye, nokungcola kwakhe kokuya esikhathini kuyithinta, ingcolile izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; yonke imibhede elala kuyo ingcolile.
25“Uma igazi lowesifazane ligeleza izinsuku eziningi ngaphandle kwesikhathi sakhe sokuya esikhathini, noma ngaphezu kwaso, uhlala engcolile sonke isikhathi sokugeleza, njengasezinsukwini zokungcola kwakhe. 26Yonke imibhede alala kuyo ngesikhathi sokuvuza kwakhe injengombhede wakhe wokuya esikhathini; yonke into ahlala phezu kwayo ingcolile, njengokungcola kwakhe kokuya esikhathini. 27Noma ubani okuthintayo uba ngcolile; makawashe izingubo zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, ahlale engcolile kuze kuhlwe.
28“Lapho esehlanjululwe ekugelezeni kwakhe, makabale izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, emva kwalokho uyahlanzeka. 29Ngosuku lwesishiyagalombili makathathe amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amajuba amabili, awalethe kumpristi, emnyango wetende lokuhlangana. 30Umpristi makanikele ngelinye libe ngumnikelo wesono, elinye libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa, amenzele inhlawulelo phambi kukaBaba wethu ngenxa yokuvuza kwakhe okungcolileyo.
31“Nahlukanisani abantwana bakwa-Israyeli nokungcola kwabo, ukuze bangafi ekungcoleni kwabo ngokungcolisa indawo yami yokuhlala ephakathi kwabo.
32“Lo ngumthetho walowo ovuzayo, nowalowo okuphuma kwenhlanyelo kumenza angcole, 33nowowesifazane osekuyeni kwakhe esikhathini, nowanoma ubani, owesilisa noma owesifazane, ovuzayo, nowendoda elala nowesifazane ongcolile.”
