Wathi kubo : Anifundanga yini akwenzayo uDavide msukwana elambile kanye nababe naye

ukuthi wangena endlini kaNkulunkulu , wadla izink wa zokubukwa okungavunyelwe ukuba zidliwe nguye nababe naye kodwa ngabapristi kuphela, na?

Esashumayela ezixukwini , bheka, unina nabafowabo babemi ngaphandle befuna ukukhuluma naye.

lokhu uJohane wayethe kuye: Awuvunyelwe ube naye.

Bheka, kwabonakala kubo oMose no-Eliya bekhuluma naye.

Kepha uma umfowenu ekona, hamba umsole ninodwa naye. Uma ekuzwa, woba umzuzile umfowenu.

Kanjalo naye uBaba osezulwini uyakwenza kini , uma ningathetheleli ngezinhliziyo zenu kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo.

Base bemphendul a uJesu , bethi: Asazi. Wayesethi kubo naye : Nami anginitsheli ukuthi ngenza lokhu ngagunya lini. Ukukhuzwa kwabapristi abakhulu nabaFarisi

Pho, ekuvukeni kwabafileyo uyakuba ngumkabani kwabayisikhombisa , lokhu bonke babe naye, na?

Zisaya kuthenga, wafika umyeni. Ezazilungele zangena naye emshadweni ; kwavalwa emnyango.

bambopha, bamuka naye, bamnikela kuPilatu umbusi.

Esembhinqile amhlubula ingubo, amembathisa izingubo zakhe, amuka naye ukuyombethela esiphambanweni.

Kwabethelwa kanye naye abaphangi ababili , omunye ngakwesokunene nomunye ngakwesokhohlo.

Kepha nabaphangi ababebethelwe esiphambanweni kanye naye bamdumaza kanjalo.

Sekuhlwile, kwafika umuntu ocebileyo wase -Arimatheya, igama lakhe nguJosefa, owayengumfundi kaJesu naye;

Uma kuzwakala lokho kumbusi , siyakuncengana naye thina , nina ningakhathazeki.

UHerode inkosi esekuzwile lokho wakhathazeka neJerusalema lonke kanye naye.

Kepha mina ngithi kini : Yilowo nalowo obuka owesifazane , amkhanuke, usephingile naye enhliziyweni yakhe.

Nosuka ekucindezela ukuba uhambe imayela libe linye , hamba naye abe mabili.

Kwathi esefikile ngaphesheya ezweni lamaGadara , kwahlangana naye ababili abakhwelwe ngamademoni , bephuma emathuneni , beyizidlova ezinkulu ngangokuba kwakungedlule muntu ngaleyo ndlela.

Ngiyakunquma umahluleli phakathi kwakhe, ngibulale zonke izikhulu zakhe kanye naye, usho uJehova.

Niyakuphuma emifantwini, kube yilowo nalowo ngoqondene naye, nilahlwe eHermoni, usho uJehova. U-Israyeli akafundi

Kunjengalokhu umuntu ebalekela ingonyama , kuhlangane naye ibhere , noma engena endlini encike ngesandla odongeni, alunywe yinyoka.

UMose yedwa uyakusondela kuJehova, kepha bona abayikusondela; nabantu abayikukhuphuka naye.

Bheka, mina ngimisile kanye naye u -Oholiyabe indodana ka -Ahisamaki, owesizwe sakwaDani; ezinhliziyweni zazo zonke eziyizingcweti ngenhliziyo ngifake ukuhlakanipha ukuba zikwenze konke engikuyale ngakho:

Kwathi uMose esehla entabeni yaseSinayi , izibhebhe zombili zobufakazi zisesandleni sikaMose esehla entabeni , uMose wayengazi ukuthi isikhumba sobuso bakhe sasikhazimula ngenxa yokukhuluma kwakhe naye.

Kepha uMose esezakungena phambi kukaJehova ukukhuluma naye , walikhumula iveli waze waphuma; waphuma, wakhuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli lokho akuyalelweyo.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babubona ubuso bukaMose ukuthi isikhumba sobuso bukaMose sasikhazimula; uMose wayesebuye walifaka iveli ebusweni bakhe waze wangena ukuyokhuluma naye.

UJehova wehla ngefu, wema naye lapho, wamemezela igama likaJehova.

Kwathi endleleni endlini yezihambi uJehova wahlangana naye , wafuna ukumbulala.

UJehova wayesethi ku -Aroni: Hamba umhlangabeze uMose eh lane. Wahamba, wahlangana naye entabeni kaNkulunkulu, wamanga.

ababe seduze naye kwakungoKarishena , noShethari, no-Adimatha, noTharishishi, noMeresi, noMarisena, noMemukhani, izikhulu eziyisikhombisa zasePheresiya naseMediya ezaziphambi k obuso benkosi , zihlala emqoka embusweni

Naye uVashiti , inkosikazi, wenzela abesifazane idili endlini yenkosi u - Ahashiveroshi.

Besakhuluma naye, zafika izinduna zenkosi , zashesha ukumyisa uHamani edilini u-Esteri alilungisileyo.

Ngalolo suku inkosi u -Ahashiveroshi yanika u -Esteri, inkosikazi, indlu kaHamani isitha sabaJuda. UMoridekayi weza phambi kwenkosi, ngokuba u- Esteri wayeselandile ukuthi uyini naye.

Wayesevuka u-Ezra, wafungisa izikhulu zabapristi, namaLevi, naye wonke u- Israyeli ukuba benze ngokwaleli zwi. Bafunga-ke.

Noma ngumuphi phakathi kwenu kubo bonke abant u bakhe, uNkulunkulu wakhe makabe naye , akhuphukele eJerusalema lakwaJuda , akhe indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena onguNkulunkulu waseJerusalema.

Kumadodana kaBebayi : nguZakariya indodana kaBebayi; kanye naye ngabesilisa abangamashumi amabili nesishiyagalombili.

Kumadodana ka-Azigadi: nguJohanani indodana kaHakathani ; kanye naye ngabesilisa abayikhulu neshumi.

ngabalinganisela isiliva negolide nezitsha , umnikelo wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, okwakunikelwe ngawo yinkosi nabeluleki bayo, nezikhulu zayo, naye wonke u-Israyeli owayelapho;

Kumadodana kaShekaniya , kumadodana kaPharoshi : nguZakariya; kanye naye kwabhalwa ngezizukulwane abesilisa abayikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu.

Kumadodana kaPhahati Mowabi: ngu-Eliyohenayi indodana kaZeraya; kanye naye ngabesilisa abangamakhulu amabili.

Kumadodana ka -Adini: ngu-Ebedi indodana kaJonathani ; kanye naye ngabesilisa abangamashumi ayisihlanu.

Kumadodana kaJowabe : ngu-Obadiya indodana kaJehiyeli ; kanye naye ngabesilisa abangamakhulu amabili neshumi nesishiyagalombili.

Nokho naye uhlakaniphile , uyakuletha okubi; akayikubuyisa amazwi akhe, kepha uyakuvukela indlu yababi nosizo lwabenza okubi.

AbaseGibithe bangabantu, abasiye uNkulunkulu, amahhashi abo ayinyama, awasiwo umoya, nalapho uJehova eyakwelula isandla sakh e uyakukhubeka naye osizayo, kuwe naye osizwayo, baphele bonke kanyekanye.

Niyakungifanisa nobani ukuba ngifane naye? usho oNgcwele.

Noma kunjalo, uJehova uthi : Yebo, abathunjwa bamaqhawe bangasuswa , nempango yabacindezeli iyakophulwa , kepha mina ngiyakulwa naye olwa nawe, ngisindise abantwana bakho.

Kuyakuthi yena oshiyiwe eSiyoni naye osele eJerusalema , bathiwe bangcwele, bonke abalotshelwe ukuphila eJerusalema,

Njengokwenza kwabo, kanjalo uyakubaphindisela: ukufutheka kuzo izitha zakhe, nokwenza kwabo kwabamelene naye, abuyisele eziqhingini izenzo zazo.

Ezinhluphekweni zabo zonke wahlupheka naye , ingelosi yobuso bakhe yabasindisa; ngothando lwakhe nangokuhawukel a kwakhe wabahlenga , wabanqukula, wabathwala zonke izinsuku zakuqala.

Emva kokuvumelana naye uyakusebenza ngenkohliso, ngokuba uyakukhuphuka, abe namandla enesizwe esincane nje.

Amalunga omuzi wakhe ayakumbiza , akhulume naye; uma emi eqinisa ngokuthi: Angithandi ukumthatha,

Uyakuganwa ngumfazi , omunye umuntu alale naye ; uyakwakha indlu , ungahlali kuyo; uyakutshala isivini, ungazikhi izithelo zaso.

Sukani nihambe , niwele umfula i -Arinoni; bhekani, nginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni umAmori , inkosi yaseHeshiboni, nezwe lakhe: qala ukulidla, ulwe naye ekulweni.

UJehova yedwa wamhola, akwabakho unkulunkulu wabezizwe naye.

Yenanelani abantu bakhe nina zizwe , ngokuba uyakuphindisela igazi lezinceku zakhe, abuyisele impindiselo kwabamelene naye, enzele izwi lakhe nabantu bakhe ukubuyisana.

Nalokhu wathi ngoJuda : Yizwa, Jehova, izwi likaJuda , umlethe kubantu bakubo; izandla zakho mazimlwele, ube lusizo kwabamelene naye.

NgoLevi wathi : AmaThumimi nama -Urimi akh o akuye othembekileyo wakho, owamvivinya eMasa, owaphikisana naye ngasemanzini aseMeriba,

UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wayesenikela esandleni sethu naye u -Ogi inkosi yaseBashani nabantu bakhe bonke ; samnqoba, akwaze kwasala muntu kuye.

Wayesesuka u -Abrama, njengalokho uJehova emtshelile ; uLoti wahamba naye; u-Abrama wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu mhla ephuma eHarana.

UJehova wathi ku -Abrama, uLoti esehlukene naye : Phakamisa manje amehlo akho ubuke , usendaweni lapho umi khona , ngasenyakatho, naseningizimu, nasempumalanga, nasentshonalanga,

Naye uLoti owahamba no-Abrama wayenezimvu, nezinkomo, namatende.

Uyakuba ngumuntu onjengembongolo engathanjisiwe , isandla sakhe simelane nabo bonke , nesandla sabo bonke simelane naye , ahlale ngasempumalanga kwabafowabo bonke.

UNkulunkulu wathi : Qha, uSara umkakho uyakukuzalela indodana ; uyakubiza igama l ayo ngokuthi u -Isaka; ngiyakusimisa isivumelwano sami naye, sibe yisivumelwano esiphakade nenzalo yakhe emva kwakhe.

UNkulunkulu wayeseqeda ukukhuluma naye , wenyuka emshiya u - Abrahama. Ukusokwa kwabantu baka-Abrahama

Onke amadoda emzini wakhe ayezelwe endlini nayethengwe ngemali kowezizwe asokwa kanye naye.

U-Abrama wayesewa ngobuso bakhe; uNkulunkulu wakhuluma naye, wathi:

Woza simphuzise ubaba iwayini, silale naye ukuba sizizuzele inzalo kubaba.

Kwathi ngangomuso enkulu yathi kwencane: Bheka, bengilele nobaba izolo; asimphuzise iwayini nangalobu busuku , ungene wena , ulale naye uk uba sizizuzele inzalo kubaba.

Ayesemphuzisa uyise iwayini nangalobo busuku ; encane yasuka yalala naye, engazi ukulala kwayo nokuvuka kwayo.

Akashongo kimi ukuthi : U ngudadewethu, na? Naye uqobo wathi : Ungumnewethu. Ngobuqotho benh liziyo yami nangobumhlophe bezandla zami ngikwenzile lokhu.

Kwathi emva kwalokho kwabikwa ku -Abrahama ukuthi : Bheka, naye uMilka umzalele uNahori umfowenu abantwana:

Abelusi baseGerari baphikisana nabelusi baka -Isaka, bathi: Amanzi angawethu. Wabiza igam a lomthombo ngokuthi i -Eseke, ngokuba baphikisana naye.

Naye wenza isilovela, wasiyisa kuyise; wathi kuyise: Ubaba makavuke, adle inyamazane yendodana yakhe ukuba umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.

Kusihlwa uJakobe esebuya endle , uLeya waya ukumhlangabeza , wathi: Ngena kimi , ngokuba impela ngikuqashile ngamamandragora endodana yami. Wayeselala naye ngalobo busuku.

wothi: Ngezenceku yakho uJakobe; kuyisipho esithunywa enkosini yami u - Esawu; bheka, naye uyeza, ungasemuva kwethu.

Wasala yedwa uJakobe; kwabambana naye umuntu, kwaze kwasa.

Esebona ukuthi akamahluli , wathinta esikhoxeni senyonga yakhe , waphinyazeka uJakobe esikhoxeni senyonga esebambene naye.

Izithunywa zabuyela kuJakobe , zathi: Safika kumfowenu u -Esawu, naye uyeza ukukuhlangabeza enamadoda angamakhulu amane.

UShekemi indodana kaHamori umHivi, inkosi yezwe, wambona, wamthatha, walala naye, wamona.

UHamori uyise kaShekemi waphumela kuJakobe ukuyokhuluma naye.

UNkulunkulu wenyuka esuka kuye endaweni laph o ebekhulume naye khona.

UJakobe wayesemisa insika endaweni lapho abekhulume naye khona , insika yetshe ; wathela phezu kwayo umnikelo wokuphuzwa , wathela namafutha phezu kwayo.

UJakobe wayiqamba indawo lapho uNkulunkulu akhuluma naye khona ngokuthi iBethele.

Wayesethi uJakobe kwabendlu yakhe nakubo bonke ababe naye : Lahlani izithixo zabezizwe eziphakathi kwenu , nizihlambulule nina , niziphendulele izingubo zenu,

UJakobe wafika eLuze elisezweni laseKhanani eliyiBethele , yena kanye nabantu bonke ababe naye.

Kwaba kubi emehlweni kaJehova lokho akwenzileyo ; wambulala naye futhi.

Kwathi esakhuluma kuJosefa izinsuku ngezinsuku , akamlalelanga ukuba alale naye, nokuba abe naye.

Owesifazane ebona ukuthi umuthi ulungele ukudliwa , nokuthi uyabukeka emehlweni, nokuthi umuthi unxanelekile ekuhlakaniphiseni , wathatha izithelo zawo, wadla, wanika nendoda yakhe kanye naye, nayo yadla.

Saphupha iphupho ngabona lobo busuku mina naye . Saphupha, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngokokuchazwa kwephupho lakhe.

Bambekela ukudla ngokwakhe , nalabo ngokwabo , nabaseGibithe abadla naye ngokwabo, lokhu abaseGibithe bangedle namaHeberu , ngokuba kuyanengeka kubo abaseGibithe.

Wabathathela izabelo kulokho okwakuphambi kwakhe , kepha isabelo sikaBenjamini saphindwa kahlanu silinganiswa nesabo . Baphuza, bathokoza naye.

Wathi uJuda : Sizakuthini enkosini yami na ? Sizakukhulumani? Sizakuzihlanguza kanjani ? UNkulunkulu ufumene ububi bezinceku zak ho; bheka, siyizigqila zenkosi yami thina naye etholakele esandleni sakhe indebe.

Khona uJosefa wayengasenakuzibamba phambi kwabo bonke ababemi naye, wakhala wathi : Phumisani kimi abantu bonke . Kwakungemi muntu naye , uJosefa esazazisa kubafowabo.

Wabanga bonke abaf owabo, wakhalela kubo ; emva kwalokho abafowabo bakhuluma naye. Abafowabo bakaJosefa babuyela ekhaya

Bathatha i mfuyo yabo nempahla yabo ababeyizuze ezweni laseKhanani , bafika eGibithe, uJakobe nayo yonke inzalo yakhe kanye naye.

Amadodana akhe , namadodana amadodana akhe , namadodakazi akhe , namadodakazi amadodana akhe , nayo yonke inzalo yakhe wayiletha kanye naye eGibithe. Inzalo kaJakobe

Kepha uyise wa la, wathi: Ngiyazi, ndodana yami, ngiyazi; naye uyakuba yisizwe, abe mkhulu naye; kodwa umfowabo uyakuba mkhulu kunaye, inzalo yakhe ibe yizizwe eziningi.

Naye uSeti wazala indodana , wayiqamba igama layo ngokuthi u -Enoshe. Ngaleso sikhathi abantu baqala ukukhuleka egameni likaJehova.

Naye u-Abela waletha umnikelo kuwo amazibulo ezimvu zakhe ezinonileyo. UJehova wanaka u-Abela nomnikelo wakhe.

UJosefa wayesebuyela eGibithe , yena nabafowabo , nabo bonke ababekhuphuke naye ukummbela uyise, emva kokungcwaba kwakhe uyise.

U-Adamu wahamba iminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amathathu, wazala indodana ngomfanekiso wakhe efana naye, wayiqamba igama lokuthi uSeti.

Wachitha kanjalo konke okuphilayo ebusweni bomhlaba , abantu, nezinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo , nezinyoni zezulu ; wakuchitha emhlabeni; kwasala uNowa yedwa ka nye nakho okwakukhona naye emkhunjini.

UNowa wangena emkhunjini namadodana akhe , nomkakhe, nabafazi bamadodana akhe bekanye naye ngenxa yamanzi kazamcolo.

Wayesephuma uNowa namadodana akhe, nomkakhe, nabafazi bamadodana akhe bekanye naye.

Yayisithatha owenzalo yobukhosi, yenza isivumelwano naye , yamngenisa phansi kwesifungo, yasusa abakhulu bezwe,

Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJ ehova, impela endaweni yenkosi eyambeka inkosi, esifungo sayo wasidelela , nesivumelwano sayo wasaphula, uyakufa naye phakathi kweBabele.

Wambula ubufebe bakhe, wambula ubunqunu bakhe. Wase wahlukana naye umphefumulo wami , njengalokho umphefumulo wami wahlukana nodadewabo.

Ngase ngithi ngaye ophelile ekufebeni : Impela bayakufeba naye , yebo, naye, na?

Kepha akashiyanga ubufebe bakhe baseGibithe , ngokuba balala naye ebusheni bakhe, bacindezela izingono zobuntombi bakhe , bathulula ubufebe babo phezu kwakhe.

Yena nabantu bakhe kanye naye , abesabekayo bezizwe , bayakulethwa ukuba bachithe izwe , bahoshele iGibithe izinkemba zabo , bagcwalise izwe ngabagwaziweyo.

Njengokuthokoza kwakho ngefa lendlu yakwa -Israyeli, ngokuba ibiyincithakalo, kanjalo ngiyakwenza kuwe : uyakuba yincithakal o, ntaba yaseSeyiri, naye wonke u -Edomi, yebo, wonke wakhe , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

walwa nengelosi, wanqoba; wakhala, wanxusa kuyo; yamfumana eBethele, yakhuluma naye lapho.

Ukuzidla kuka -Israyeli kuyafakaza ebusweni bakhe ; o-Israyeli no -Efrayimi bayakukhubeka ngobubi babo; naye uJuda uyakukhubeka kanye nabo.

UHezekiya inko si yakwaJuda naye wonke uJuda bambulala impela na ? Angithi bamesaba uJehova , bamncenga uJehova , uJehova wabuya kukho okubi ayekukhulume kubo , na? Besiyakwenza okubi okukhulu kuyo imiphefumulo yethu.

Ngabona ukuthi noma ngangimlahlile u -Israyeli ohlehlayo ngalesi sizathu sokuthi uphingile, ngamnika incwadi yesahlukaniso, udadewabo okhohlisayo, uJuda, akesabanga nokho, kepha waya wafeba naye,

Engakabuyi, yathi: Buyela kuGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu kaShafani , inkosi yaseBabele emenze abe ngumbusi phezu kwemizi yakwaJuda , uhlale naye p hakathi kwabantu ; noma lapho kulungile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, yiya lapho . Induna yabalindi yayisimnika umphako nesipho , yamvumela ukuba ahambe.

Wayesehamba uJeremiya, waya kuGedaliya, indodana ka-Ahikamu, eMispa, wahlala naye phakathi kwabantu ababesele ezweni.

U-Ishmayeli wabulala nabo bonke abaJuda ababe naye uGedaliya eMispa , namaKaledi, amadoda empi ayefunyanwa khona.

Lolu suku lungusuku lweNkosi uJehova Sebawoti , usuku lokuphindisela lokuba aziphindisele kwabamelene naye . Inkemba iyakudla isuthe , izanelise ngegazi labo , ngokuba iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti inom hlatshelo ezweni lasenyakatho ngasemfuleni u-Ewufrathe.

Onejubane makangabaleki naye, kungaphunyuki neqhawe; ngasenyakatho eceleni komfula u-Ewufrathe bayakhubeka, bawe.

Makaqalekiswe owenza umsebenz i kaJehova ng okunganakekeli, aqalekiswe naye ogodla inkemba yakhe egazini.

Mdakiseni, ngokuba uzikhukhumezile kuJehova; uMowabi makahuquzele ebuhlanzweni bakhe, abe ngohlekwayo naye.

Ozikhukhumezayo uyakukhubeka , awe, angabi naye omvusayo ; ngiyakuphemba umlilo emizini yakhe, udle konke okumzungezayo.

Amathambo akhe agcwele ubusha , kepha buyak ulala phansi kanye naye othulini.

Mawujwayelane naye, ube nokuthula; ngalokho okuhle kuyakufika kuwe.

Lapho olungileyo ubeyakuphikisana naye , mina ngikhululwe kumahluleli wami kuze kube phakade.

Bahlala phansi naye emhlabathini izinsuku eziyisikhombisa nobusuku obuyisikhombisa, akukhulumanga muntu kuye, ngokuba babona ukuthi usizi lwakhe lwalulukhulu kakhulu.

Emhlabeni akukho okufana naye owenziwa abe ngongesabiyo.

Ungadlala naye njengenyoni, umbophele amantombazana akho, na?

Kwase kufika kuye bonke abafowabo, nabo bonke odadewabo, nabo bonke ababazana naye ngaphambili , badla endlini yakhe ; bamkhalela, bamduduza ngakho konke okubi uJehova amehlis ele khona , yilowo nalowo wamnika uhlamvu lwemali necici legolide.

Pho, mina ngingamphendula ngithini , ngikhethe amazwi ami aqondene naye, na?

Uma efuna ukuthetha amacala naye , angemphendule nakwelilodwa kwayinkulungwane.

Kwathi lapho bekhiphela kuJoshuwa lawo makhosi, uJoshuwa wabiza onke amadoda akwa-Israyeli, wathi ezinduneni zamadoda empi ezazihamba naye : Sondelani, nibeke izinyawo zenu ezintanyeni zalawa makhosi . Zasondela-ke, zabeka izinyawo zazo ezintanyeni zawo.

UJoshuwa wayesekhuphuka eGiligali, yena nabo bonke abantu bempi kanye naye, nawo onke amaqhawe anamandla.

UBileyamu indodana kaBeyori , umbhuli, naye bambulala abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ngenkemba phakathi kwabanye ababulawa yibo.

Kanye naye abakwaRubeni nabakwaGadi balamukela ifa abanika lona uMose ngaphesheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga , njengalokho inceku kaJehova uMose yabanika:

Obalekelayo komunye waleyo mizi uyakuma ngasesikhaleni sesango lomuzi, akhulume indaba yakhe ezindlebeni zamalunga alowo muzi , angene naye emzini, amuphe indawo ukuba ahlale phakathi kwabo.

nezikhulu eziyishumi kanye naye , isikhulu sibe sinye ngendlu kayise ezizweni zonke zakwa -Israyeli, yileso naleso siyinhloko yendlu kayise phakathi kwemindeni yakwa-Israyeli.

Kwathi uJoshuwa esengaseJeriko , waphakamisa amehlo akhe , wabona, bheka, nanso i ndoda malungana naye enenkemba yayo ihoshiwe esandleni sayo; uJoshuwa waya kuyo, wathi kuyo: Uvuna thina noma izitha zethu na?

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 umuntu ethatha udadewabo , indodakazi kayise noma indodakazi kanina, abone ubunqunu bakhe , naye abone ubunqunu bakhe , kuyihlazo; bayakunqunywa phambi kwabantwana b abantu bakubo ; wambulile ubunqunu bukadadewabo; uyakuthwala ububi bakhe.

Uma umuntu elala nowesifazane onefindo lakhe, ambule ubunqunu bakhe, unqunisile umthombo wakhe , naye wambulile umthombo wegazi lakhe ; bobabili bayakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

ngaphandle kwezihlobo ezinyamanye naye , okungukuthi unina , noyise, nendodana yakhe, nendodakazi yakhe, nomfowabo,

nodadewabo, intombi eseduze naye, engenandoda; angazingcolisa ngaye.

andukuba aphume kuwe , yena nabantwana bakhe kanye naye , abuyele kwabomndeni wakhe, abuyele nasefeni lawoyise.

Uyakubalisana nalowo owamthengayo , aqale ngomnyaka owazithengisa kuye ngawo , kuze kube ngumnyaka wejubili ; imali yentengiso iyakuba njengenani leminyaka; uyakuba naye njengesikhathi somqashwa.

Uma isasele iminyaka eyingcosana kuze kufike umnyaka wejubili , uyakubalisana naye; njengeminyaka yakhe uyakubuyisa imali yokuhlengwa kwakhe.

Njengenceku eqashwa iminyaka ngeminyaka uyakuba naye ; akayikubusa kalukhuni phezu kwakhe emehlweni akho.

Uma engahlengwanga ngalezo zindlela, uyakuphuma ngomnyaka wejubili, yena nabantwana bakhe kanye naye.

Thabatha u-Aroni namadodana akhe kanye naye , nezambatho, namafutha okugcoba, nenkunzi yomnikelo wesono , nezinqama zombili , neqoma lezinkwa ezingenamvubelo,

UMose wayesethatha amafutha okugcoba , negazi elalise -altare, wafafaza ngalo u-Aroni nezambatho zakhe, namadodana akhe kanye naye, nezambatho zamadodana akhe , wangcwelisa u -Aroni nezambatho zakhe , namadodana akhe kanye naye, nezambatho zamadodana akhe.
