2“Noma uma umuntu ethinta noma yini engcolile engazi, noma isidumbu—isilwane sasendle esingcolile, imfuyo engcolile, noma isilokazane esinwabuzelayo esingcolile—uba ngongcolile futhi unecala.
3“Noma uma ethinta ukungcola komuntu—noma yikuphi ukungcola okwenza umuntu angcole—engazi, bese ekwazi, unecala.
4“Noma uma umuntu efunga isifungo ngobuwula sokwenza okubi noma okuhle—noma yini abantu abayifunga ngobuwula—kube kufihliwe kuye, lapho eseyiqaphela, unecala kunoma yikuphi kwalokhu. 5Lapho umuntu enecala kunoma yikuphi kwalezi zindaba, kumele avume isono asenzile. 6Kumele alethe kuBaba wethu umnikelo wenhlawulo ngesono asenzile—insikazi evela emhlambini, iwundlu noma imbuzi—njengomnikelo wesono; umpristi uyomhlawulela isono sakhe.
7“Uma engenawo amandla okulanda iwundlu, kumele alethe kuBaba wethu amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba njengenhlawulo yesono sakhe—elinye libe ngumnikelo wesono, elinye libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa. 8Uwaletha kumpristi, onikela ngomnikelo wesono kuqala, asonte ikhanda lalo entanyeni kodwa angalihlukanisi. 9Ufafaza elinye igazi lomnikelo wesono eceleni kwe-altare; elisele liyochitheka esisekelweni salo.

11“Kodwa uma engenawo amandla okulanda amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba, kumele alethe izilinganiso ezimbili zempuphu ecolekileyo njengomnikelo wakhe wesono—angabeki amafutha noma impepho kuyo, ngokuba kungumnikelo wesono. 12Kumele ayilethe kumpristi, othatha ingxenye egcwele isandla njengesabelo sayo sesikhumbuzo ayishise e-altare phezu kweminikelo yokushiswa kaBaba wethu. Kungumnikelo wesono. 13Umpristi uyomhlawulela kunoma yisiphi salezi zono asenzile, bese ethethelelwa; okuseleyo kungokompristi, njengomnikelo wempuphu.”
