Izilwane ezihlambulukileyo nezingcolileyo
1UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni, wathi kubo: 2 “Yishoni kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, nithi: ‘Yilokhu okuphilayo eningakudla kuzo zonke izilwane zasemhlabeni: 3zonke ezahlukanisa inselo, nezidabula inselo kabili, nezetshisayo kuzo izilwane, lezo ningazidla.
4“ ‘Kepha lezi aniyikuzidla kwezetshisayo nakwezahlukanisa inselo: ikamela, ngokuba liyetshisa, lingahlukanisi kodwa inselo; lingcolile kini; 5nembila, ngokuba iyetshisa, ingahlukanisi kodwa inselo; ingcolile kini; 6nonogwaja, ngokuba uyetshisa, engahlukanisi kodwa inselo; ungcolile kini; 7nengulube, ngokuba iyahlukanisa inselo, idabula inselo kabili, ingetshisi kodwa; ingcolile kini. 8Ningadli inyama yazo, ningathinti izidumbu zazo; zingcolile kini.
9 “ ‘Lezi ningazidla kuzo zonke ezisemanzini: zonke ezinamaphiko nezingcwecwe ezisemanzini neziselwandle nezisemifuleni, lezo ningazidla. 10Kepha zonke ezingenamaphiko nazingcwecwe eziselwandle nezisemifuleni, nazo zonke eziswebezelayo emanzini, nazo zonke izinto eziphilayo emanzini ziyisinengiso kini. 11Zoba yisinengiso kini; ningadli inyama yazo; izidumbu zazo ziyakunengeka kini. 12Zonke ezingenamaphiko nazingcwecwe emanzini ziyisinengiso kini.
13 “ ‘Yilezi eniyakunengwa yizo ezinyonini; aziyikudliwa, ziyisinengiso: ukhozi, nenqe, nengqungqulu, 14nonhloyile, noheshe ngezinhlobo zakhe, 15nawo onke amagwababa ngezinhlobo zawo, 16nentshe, nenkovana, nenkanu, noklebe ngezinhlobo zakhe, 17nesikhova, nomphishamanzi, nomxwagele, 18nefukezi, nevuba, nophalane, 19nonogolantethe, nonozalizingwenya ngezinhlobo zakhe, noziningweni, nelulwane.
20“ ‘Nezilwanyana zonke ezinamaphiko, ezihamba ngezinyawo zozine, ziyisinengiso kini. 21Kepha lezi ningazidla kuzo zonke izilwanyana ezinamaphiko, ezihamba ngezinyawo zozine, ezinamanqina ngaphezu kwezinyawo zazo ukuxhuma ngazo emhlabeni; 22kuzo ningadla lezi: isikhonyane ngezinhlobo zaso, namaboni ngezinhlobo zawo, namadiye ngezinhlobo zawo, nezintethe ngezinhlobo zazo. 23Kepha zonke ezinye izilwanyana ezinamaphiko nezinyawo ezine ziyisinengiso kini.
24 “ ‘Niyakungcoliswa yilezi: bonke abathinta izidumbu zazo bayakuba ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe. 25Bonke abathwala utho lwezidumbu zazo bayakuhlanza izingubo zabo, babe ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe.
26“ ‘Zonke izilwane ezahlukanisa inselo, zingayidabuli kabili kodwa, zingetshisi, zingcolile kini; bonke abazithintayo bayakuba ngabangcolile. 27Nazo zonke ezihamba ngezidladla kuzo zonke izilwane ezihamba ngezinyawo ezine zingcolile kini; bonke abathinta izidumbu zazo bayakuba ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe. 28Othwala izidumbu zazo makahlanze izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe; zingcolile kini.
29“ ‘Lezi zingcolile kini kuzo izilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni: uchakide, nempuku, noxamu ngezinhlobo zakhe, 30nesigcilikisha, nesiquzi, nentulo, nesibankwa, nonwabu. 31Yilezo ezingcolile kini phakathi kwezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo; bonke abazithintayo sezifile bayakuba ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe. 32Konke esiwela phezu kwakho esinye sazo sezifile kuyakuba ngokungcolile, noma kuyinto yomuthi noma yingubo noma yisikhumba noma yisaka noma yintoni okusetshenzwa ngayo; makufakwe emanzini, kube ngokungcolile kuze kuhlwe; khona kuyakuhlanzeka. 33Nezitsha zonke esiwela kuzo esinye sazo, noma yintoni ephakathi kwazo iyakuba ngengcolile, nize nizaphule. 34Konke ukudla okudliwayo okukuzo, afika kukho futhi amanzi anjalo, kuyakuba ngokungcolile, nakho konke okuphuzwayo kuzo izitsha ezinjalo kuyakuba ngokungcolile. 35Konke esiwela kukho isidumbu sazo kuyakuba ngokungcolile, noma iziko noma ikhanzi; makuphohlozwe; kungcolile, kuyakuba ngokungcolile kini. 36Kepha umthombo nomgodi lapho amanzi eqoqene khona uyakube uhlambulukile, kodwa okuthinta izidumbu zazo kuyakuba ngokungcolile. 37Uma izidumbu zazo ziwela phezu kwembewu etshalwayo ezakuhlwanyelwa, iyakuba ngehlambulukile. 38Kepha uma amanzi ethelwa embewini, izidumbu zazo ziwele phezu kwayo, ingcolile kini.
39“ ‘Uma kufa isilwane esidliwayo, othinta isidumbu saso uyakuba ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe. 40 Odla isidumbu saso makahlanze izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe; nothwala isidumbu saso makahlanze izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe.
41“ ‘Zonke izilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni ziyisinengiso; mazingadliwa. 42Zonke ezihamba ngesisu, nazo zonke ezihamba ngezinyawo ezine noma ngeziningi, nazo zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, ningazidli, ngokuba ziyisinengiso. 43Ningazenzi ninengeke ngezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, ningazingcolisi ngazo, funa ningcole ngazo. 44 Ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; ngalokho zingcweliseni, nibe ngcwele, ngokuba mina ngingcwele; ningazingcolisi ngezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni. 45Ngokuba nginguJehova owakukhuphula ezweni laseGibithe, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu; ngalokho yibani ngcwele, ngokuba ngingcwele.
46“ ‘Yilowo umthetho wezilwane nowezinyoni nowezilwane zonke eziswebezelayo emanzini, nowezilwanyana zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, 47ukuba kwahlukaniswe okungcolileyo nokuhlambulukileyo, okuphilayo okudliwayo nokuphilayo okungadliwayo.’ ”
