Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku indoda yondle isithole nezimvu ezimbili,

Uma indoda ifunyanwa ilele nowesifazane ogane enye indoda , bayakufa bobabili, indoda ebilele nowesifazane nowesifazane uqobo ; kanjalo uyakukhipha ububi kwa-Israyeli.

Kepha uma indoda ifumana endle intombi eyingoduso , indoda iyiphoqe, ilale nayo, indoda ebilala nayo kuphela iyakufa,

Uma indoda ifumana intombi engesiyo ingoduso , iyibambe, ilale nayo , baficwe,

indoda ebilala nayo iyakunika uyise wentombi amashekeli angamashumi ayisihlanu esiliva, ibe ngumkayo, ngokuba iyonile; ingeyilahle zonke izinsuku zayo.

Uma indoda yesibili imala , imlobele incwadi yesahlukaniso , imnike yona esandleni sakhe, imkhiphe endlini yayo, noma le ndoda yesibili eyayimthathe abe ngumkayo ifa,

indoda yakhe yokuqala eyamxoshayo mayingabuyi imthathe abe ngumkayo emva kokuba esoniwe , ngokuba lokho kuyisinengiso phambi kukaJehova ; awuyikwenza ukuba izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona libe yifa lakho lonakale.

funa kube khona phakathi kwenu indoda , noma umfazi, noma umndeni, noma isizwe esinhliziyo yaso ifulathela namuhla uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ukuyokhonza onkulunkulu balezo zizwe , kube phakathi kwenu impande ethela inhlungunyembe nomhlonyane;

Indoda yayibhekisisa ithule ukuba yazi , uma uJehova ebephumelelisile indlela yayo noma qha.

Kwathi amakamela eseqedile ukuphuz a, indoda yathatha icici legolide , isisindo salo siyinxenye yeshekeli , namasongo amabili ezandla zayo , isisindo sawo singamashekeli ayishumi egolide, yathi:

Indoda yayisikhothama, yakhuleka kuJehova,

URebeka wasuka namantombazana akhe ; bagibela amakamela , balandela indoda; inceku yamthatha uRebeka, yamuka.

Wayesethi uLabani: Kuhle ukuba ngimnike wena kunokuba ngimnike enye indoda; hlala kimi.

Ngalokho indoda iyakushiya uyise nonina, inamathele kumkayo; bayakuba nyamanye.

U-Adamu wamazi umkakhe u -Eva; wakhulelwa, wazala uKayini ; wathi: Ngitholile indoda kuJehova.

Wakhuluma kuyo indoda eyembethe ilineni , wathi: Ngena phakathi kwamasondo ayingilizayo phansi kwekherubi , ugcwalise izandla zakho zombili ngamalahle omlilo ophakathi kwamakherubi , uwahlakaze phezu komuzi. Yangena phambi kwamehlo ami.

Kwathi lapho eyala indoda eyembethe ilineni , ethi: Thatha umlilo phakathi kwamasondo ayingilizayo phakathi kwamakherubi , yangena, eceleni kwesondo.

Bheka, indoda eyembethe ilineni , inophondo lukayinki ngasokhalweni lwayo, yabuyisa izwi, yathi: Ngenzile njengokungiyala kwakho.

Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli yayenyukile ekherubini eyayiphezu kwalo, yaya embundwini wendlu , wayibiza indoda eyembethe ilineni , eyayinophondo lukayinki womlobi ngasokhalweni lwayo.

Phikisanani nonyoko, niphikisane, ngokuba akasiye umkami, nami angisiyo indoda yakhe; makasuse ubufebe bakhe ebusweni bakhe, nokuphinga kwakhe phakathi kwamabele akhe,

Ngiyazi, Jehova, ukuthi indlela yomuntu ayikuye uqobo ; akukuyo indoda ukuba ihambe, iqondise izinyathelo zayo.

Koze k ube nini uhambahamb a wena ndodakazi ehlubukayo na ? Ngokuba uJehova udalile into entsha emhlabeni: owesifazane uyakuyihaqa indoda.

Kuthiwa uma indoda ilahla umkayo , abesemuka abe ngowenye indoda , isayakubuyela kuye na ? Lelo zwe belingayikungcoliswa kakhulu na ? Kepha wena ofebile nezithandwa eziningi ubuyela kimi, usho uJehova.

Ngalokho zithatheleni manje amadoda ayishumi nambili ezizweni zakwa - Israyeli, indoda ibenye ngesizwe.

Zithatheleni amadoda ayishumi nambili, indoda ibenye ngesizwe,

UJoshuwa wayesebiza lawo madoda ayishumi nambili ayewakhethile kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, indoda inye ngesizwe.

Nowesifazane elale naye indoda, imlalile yamthela ngamalotha, bayakugeza bobabili ngamanzi, babe ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe.

Uma indoda ilala naye, ukungcola kwakhe kube kuyo, iyakuba ngengcolile izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ; nayo yonke imibhede alala kuyo iyakuba ngengcolile.

Uma indoda ilala nowesilisa njenganowesifazane , bobabili benzile isinengiso; bobulawa nokubulawa, igazi labo libe phezu kwabo.

Bafisa amasimu , bawadluzule, nezindlu, bazisuse; bacindezela indoda nendlu yayo, umuntu nefa lakhe.

Kanye nani kuzakuba khona indoda ibe nye kuleso naleso sizwe , yileyo naleyo ibe yinhloko yendlu kayise.

wamlandela umuntu wakwa -Israyeli, wangena etendeni , wabagwaza bobabili, indoda yakwa-Israyeli nowesifazane esiswini sakhe . Sanqamuka-ke kanjalo isifo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

indoda yakhe bese ikuzwa , ingasho lutho kuye , ingamalelanga, zonke izithembiso zakhe ziyakuma , nazo zonke izibopho abophe ngazo umphefumulo wakhe ziyakuma;

kepha uma indoda yakhe izenza ize ngosuku ezizwa ngalo , konke okuphuma emlonyeni wakhe mayelana nezithembiso zakhe namayelana nesibopho somphefu mulo wakhe akuyikuma ; indoda yakhe ikwenzile ize ; uJehova uyakumthethelela.

Zonke izithembiso nazo zonke izifungo ezibophayo zokuthobisa umphefumulo, indoda yakhe ingaziqinisa, noma indoda yakhe izenze ize.

Kepha uma indoda yakhe ithula nokuthula kuye izinsuku ngezinsuku , iyaqinisa zonke izithembiso zakhe nazo zonke izibopho zakhe eziphezu kwakhe; iziqinisile, ngokuba ithulile kuye ngosuku eyazizwa ngalo;

indoda yakhe bese ikuzwa , ingasho lutho kuye ngosuku ekuzwa ngalo , izithembiso zakhe ziyakuma, nezibopho zakhe abophe ngazo umphefumulo wakhe ziyakuma;

kepha uma indoda yakhe imalela ngosuku ekuzwa ngalo , iyakwenza ize isithembiso sakhe esiphezu kwak he nokuphahlukiwe ngumlomo wakhe abophe ngakho umphefumulo wakhe, uJehova amthethelele.

Ngalokho bulalani manje bonke abesilisa phakathi kwabantwana , nibulale nabo bonke abesifazane abayazi indoda ngokulala nayo.

alale nenye indoda kusithekile emehlweni endoda yakhe , kufihlwe, angcoliswe, kungekho fakazi nokho ngaye, futhi engabanjwanga,

indoda iyakuletha umkayo kumpristi , imlethele umnikelo wakhe , ube ngokweshumi kwe-efa lempuphu yebhali , angatheli mafutha kuyo, angabeki nanhlaka kuyo , ngokuba kungumnikelo w empuphu wesikhwele , umnikelo wempuphu wesikhumbuzo sokukhumbuza ngobubi.

kepha uma udukile usephansi kwendoda yakho , futhi ungcolisiwe, kulale nawe enye indoda ngaphandle kwendoda yakho,

noma lapho indoda ifikelwa ngumoya wesik hwele, ibe nesikhwele ngomkayo; khona iyakumbeka owesifazane phambi kukaJehova , umpristi agcine wonke lo mthetho kuye.

Indoda iyakukhululeka ebubini , kepha owesifazane uyakubuthwala ububi bakhe.

usho kuye , uthi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Bheka, kukhona indoda egama layo linguHlumela; uyakumila endaweni yakhe, akhe ithempeli likaJehova.

nokusafunwa ngumphefumulo wami , ngingakakufumani kodwa : indoda inye phakathi kwenkulungwane ngiyifumene , kepha owesifazane phakathi kwabo bonke labo angimfumananga.

kepha kwafunyanwa kuwo indoda empofu ehlakaniphileyo ; yawukhulula umuzi ngokuhlakanipha kwayo, kodwa nokho akakho okhumbula leyo ndoda empofu.
