Ukuhlenga lokho okungekwakaSomnini
1USomnini wakhuluma noMosi wathi 2akakhulume nama-Israyeli athi kiwo: “Lokha umuntu enza isithembiso sokuhlukanisela umuntu kuSomnini bese kudingeke bona kubekwe inani lokumhlenga 3kuzakusetjenziswa imithetho elandelako: Inani lomuntu omduna ukusungula eminyakeni ematjhumi amabili ukuya kwematjhumi asithandathu simagremu amakhulu amahlanu namatjhumi alikhomba wesiliva ngokwesilinganiso sendawo ecwengileko. 4Nangabe kumumuntu omsikazi kuzakuba magremu amakhulu amathathu namatjhumi amane wesiliva. 5Nangabe kumumuntu oneminyaka emihlanu ukuya ematjhumini amabili, inani lizakuba magremu amakhulu amabili namatjhumi amathathu wesiliva nakumsana, kube magremu alikhulu netjhumi nahlanu wesiliva nakumntazana. 6Nangabe kumntwana onenyanga eyodwa ukuya eminyakeni emihlanu, inani lizakuba magremu amatjhumi amahlanu nekhomba wesiliva nakumsanyana, kube magremu amatjhumi amathathu nane wesiliva nakumntazanyana. 7Nangabe umuntu uneminyaka ematjhumi asithandathu ukudlula, inani lizakuba magremu alikhulu namatjhumi alikhomba wesiliva nakuliqhegu, esilukazini kube magremu alikhulu netjhumi nahlanu. 8Nangabe owenza isifungo uchake kangangobana uhluleka ukuhlenga umuntu ofungelweko ngokwenani elibekiweko, khona-ke akamlethe phambi komphristi bona kube mphristi ohlosa inani. Umphristi uzakuhlosa inani elingakghonwa ngowenze isifungo.
9“Nangabe umuntu uthembisa ifuyo kuSomnini ekungaba ngeyomhlabelo, ingekaSomnini. Ifuyo leyo icwengile 10nomuntu oyinikelako akakavunyelwa ukuyijamiselela. Angayenani ngehle namkha ngembi. Nangabe mbala ujamiselela ifuyo ngenye ifuyo, zombili njalo zingezicwengileko, ngezakaSomnini.
11“Nangabe umuntu uthembisa uSomnini ifuyo esilapheleko nekungakghonakali bona kwenziwe umhlabelo ngayo, ifuyo leyo ayilethwe phambi komphristi. 12Umphristi uzabese uhlosa ubungako bayo ngokuqala bona yihle namkha yimbi na. Okuquntwe mphristi ngayo kujamile. 13Nangabe umniniyo uthanda ukuyihlenga, uzakungezelela ngokwesihlanu sobungako benani lefuyo leyo.
14“Lokha umuntu ahlukanisela indlwakhe uSomnini, icwengile kuSomnini. Umphristi kufuze ahlose ubungako benani layo ngokuqala bona yihle namkha yimbi na. Okuquntwe mphristi ngayo kujamile. 15Nangabe umniniyo uthanda ukuyihlenga, uzakungezelela ngokwesihlanu sobungako benani lendlu leyo. Nje-ke izakuba ngeyakhe godu.
16“Nangabe umuntu wahlukanisela uSomnini ingcenye yesimu elilifa lakhe, ubungako benani lesimu leyo kufuze buhloswe ngokulinganiswa kwembewu etjalwa kiyo: Intundu eyodwa kadumbana yebhali ibiza amagremu amakhulu amahlanu namatjhumi alikhomba wesiliva. 17Nakubana uhlukanisela isimakhe ukusukela ngomnyaka wokubuyisela, inani layo lizakuhlala lijamile. 18Kodwana nakube uhlukanisela isimakhe emva komnyaka wokubuyisela, umphristi kufuze abale iminyaka eseleko bese wehlisa inani. 19Nangabe ohlukanisela ngesimakhe usafuna ukuyihlenga, uzakungezelela ngokwesihlanu sobungako benani lesimu leyo. Nje-ke izakuba ngeyakhe godu. 20Kodwana nangayihlengiko bese uthengisela omunye umuntu ilungelo lokuyisebenzisa, angekhe asayihlenga godu. 21Kuzakuthi lokha nayitjhatjhululwako ngomnyaka wokubuyisela, ibe ngecwengileko kuSomnini. Njengesimu ezilwako iba ngeyabaphristi, kube lilifa labo. 22Nangabe umuntu uhlukanisela uSomnini isimu anelungelo lokuyisebenzisa nekungasiyo ingcenye yelifa lakhe, 23umphristi kufuze abale inani lokuhlengwa kwayo bekube mnyaka wokubuyisela. Umuntu loyo uzakukhokha khona mhlokho inani lokuhlengwa njengesipho esikhethekileko kuSomnini. 24Ngomnyaka wokubuyisela isimu izakubuyela keyathengwa kuye, ekunguye umniniyo ngokwelifa. 25Koke ukuhlosa kufuze kwenziwe ngokwesilinganiso sendawo ecwengileko.
26“Khumbulani bona amazibulo wefuyo angawakaSomnini, nje-ke akungabi khona owahlukanisela uSomnini. Kungaba ngelekomo namkha lemvu lingelikaSomnini. 27Kodwana nangabe ngelefuyo esilapheleko, umninilo kufuze alihlenge ngenani elibekwe phezu kwalo bese angezelele ngokwesihlanu. Nakube alikahlengwa lizakuthengiswa ngenani lalo esele libekiwe.
28“Khumbulani bona nanyana yini umuntu azilela ngayo uSomnini epahlenakhe angeze yathengiswa namkha ihlengwe, kungaba mumuntu, isilwana namkha ingcenye yesimu yelifa lakhe. Koke okuzilelwa ngakho uSomnini kucwenge khulu kuSomnini. 29Umuntu osele azilelwe kuSomnini, akabulawe; angeze asahlengwa.
30“Koke kwetjhumi kwenarha, kungaba ngokweenthoro namkha kweenthelo, kungokwakaSomnini. Yeke kucwengile kuSomnini. 31Nangabe umuntu ufuna ukuhlenga nanyana yini yokwetjhumi kwakhe, kufuze angezelele ngokwesihlanu enanini lentweleyo. 32Koke kwetjhumi kwemihlambi yeenkomo namkha kwezimvu neembuzi, okutjho lokho okudlula ngaphasi kwentonga yomelusi, kucwengile kuSomnini. 33Umuntu akukafuzi aqale bona kuhle namkha kumbi nanyana akwenane ngokhunye. Nangabe mbala ujamiselela ifuyo ngenye ifuyo, zombili njalo zingezicwengileko, ngezikaSomnini. Akukafaneli bona zihlengwe.”
34Leyo miyalo uSomnini ayala ngayo uMosi entabeni yeSinayi mayelana nama-Israyeli.
