Levitikusi 20:1-27
20 UJehova wakhuluma noMosi wathi:
2 “Kufuze uthi kuma-Israyeli, ‘Nanyana ngimuphi umIsrayeli namkha umuntu ovela kwenye inarha ohlala hlangana nani onikela ngomntwanakhe kuMoleki, umuntu loyo kufuze abulawe.+ Abantu benarheni leyo kufuze bamkghadlhe ngamatje bekafe.
3 Mina ngizokujamelana nomuntu loyo begodu ngizombulala, ngombana unikele umntwanakhe kuMoleki, wasilaphaza indawami ecwengileko+ negama lami elicwengileko.
4 Nange abantu benarheni babona umuntu anikela umntwanakhe kuMoleki kodwana bangenzi litho begodu bangambulali,+
5 ngizokujamelana nomuntu loyo nomndenakhe.+ Ngizombulala nabo boke abahlanganyele naye ekungwadleni noMoleki.
6 “‘Malungana nomuntu ongathembekiko* oya ezangomeni+ nakubabikezeli bekusasa,+ ngizokujamelana naye begodu ngizombulala.+
7 “‘Kufuze nizicwengise begodu nicwengeke,+ ngombana nginguJehova uZimenu.
8 Kufuze nilalele imithethwami beniyenze.+ NginguJehova onicwengisako.+
9 Nange umuntu aqalekisa uyise namkha unina, kufuze abulawe.+ Ngombana uqalekise uyise namkha unina, iingazi zakhe zizokuba phezu kwakhe.
10 “‘Nje-ke malungana nomuntu ofeba* nomfazi wenye indoda: Umuntu ofeba nomfazi wenye indoda kufuze abulawe, bobabili kufuze babulawe.+
11 Indoda elala nomkayise ihlazisa uyise.+ Bobabili kufuze babulawe. Iingazi zabo zizokuba phezu kwabo.
12 Nange indoda ilala nomalukazanayo, bobabili kufuze babulawe. Benze okuphambene nemvelo. Iingazi zabo zizokuba phezu kwabo.+
13 “‘Nange indoda iya emabhayini nenye indoda, bobabili benze into enyenyisako.+ Kufuze babulawe begodu iingazi zabo zizokuba phezu kwabo.
14 “‘Nangabe indoda ithatha umfazi, ithathe nomkhwekazayo. Sisenzo esinyenyisako leso,+ kufuze batjhiswe ngomlilo.+ Ukwenzela bona ukuziphatha okunyenyisakokho kungarageli phambili hlangana nani.
15 “‘Nangabe indoda iya emabhayini nesilwana, kufuze ibulawe nesilwaneso kufuze sibulawe.+
16 Nange umfazi aya emabhayini nesilwana,+ umfazi loyo kufuze abulawe begodu kubulawe nesilwaneso. Iingazi zomfazi loyo zizokuba phezu kwakhe neengazi zesilwanezo zizokuba phezu kwaso.
17 “‘Nange indoda iya emabhayini nodadwabo, indodakazi kayise namkha indodakazi kanina begodu ngamunye abone ubuhlubule bomunye, lihlazo lelo.+ Kufuze babulawe phambi kwabantu. Indoda leyo ihlazise udadwabo. Kufuze iziphendulele ngomtjhaphwayo.
18 “‘Nange indoda iya emabhayini nomfazi osesikhathini, bobabili akhenge bahloniphe iingazi zakhe.+ Kufuze babulawe.
19 “‘Ungayi emabhayini nomanakho, urhulwakho namkha nokghariyakho ngombana uzabe uhlazise isihlobo sakho.+ Kufuze baziphendulele ngomtjhaphwabo.
20 Indoda eya emabhayini nomfazi kasonghwanayo namkha usorhulwayo, imhlazisile.+ Bobabili kufuze baziphendulele ngesono sabo. Kufuze bahlongakale banganabantwana.
21 Nange indoda ithatha umrharibayo, yinto enyenyisako leyo.+ Ihlazise umfowabo. Kufuze bangabi nabantwana.
22 “‘Kufuze nilalele yoke imithethwami nayo yoke imiyalwami+ beniyenze,+ ukwenzela bona inarha enginiletha bona nihlale kiyo inganikhupheli ngaphandle.+
23 Akukafuzi nilandele amasiko weentjhaba engiziqotha phambi kwenu;+ ngombana zenze zoke izintwezi begodu ngiyazinyenya.+
24 Kungebangelo ngithi kini: “Nizokuthatha inarhabo, ngizoninikela yona bona ibe lilifa lenu, inarha egeleza ibisi neliju.+ NginguJehova uZimenu onihlukanisako eentjhabeni.”+
25 Kufuze nenze umehluko hlangana neenlwana ezihlwengileko nezingakahlwengeki hlangana neenyoni ezingakahlwengeki nezihlwengekileko;+ akukafuzi nizisilaphaze ngeenlwana, iinyoni namkha nanyana yini erhurhubako engithe kini isilaphele.+
26 Kufuze nicwengeke kimi ngombana mina Jehova ngicwengile,+ nginihlukanisa eentjhabeni bona nibe ngebami.+
27 “‘Nange indoda namkha umfazi aba sisangoma namkha umbikezeli wekusasa kufuze abulawe.+ Abantu kufuze bamkghadlhe ngamatje bekafe. Iingazi zabo zizokuba phezu kwabo.
