Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa niyakudla isinkwa esingenamvubelo ; yebo, ngosuku lokuqala noyikhipha imvubelo ezindlini zenu, ngokuba bonke abadla okuvutshelweyo, kusukela osukwini lokuqa la kuze kufike usuku lwesikhombisa, labo bantu bayakunqunywa kwa-Israyeli.

Ngenyanga yokuqala ngosuku lweshumi nane ngakusihlwa niyakudla isinkwa esingenamvubelo , kuze kufike usuku lwamashumi amabili nanye lwenyanga ngakusihlwa.

Ngizwile izinkonono zabantwana bakwa -Israyeli; khuluma kubo , uthi: Ngakusihlwa niyakudla inyama , kusasa nisuthe isinkwa , nize nazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Uma nivuma, nilalela, niyakudla okuhle kwezwe;

Lokhu kuyakuba yisibonakaliso kuwe : Niyakudla ngalo mnyaka okuzikhulelayo, nangomnyaka wesibili isihlabane , nangomnyaka wesithathu hlwanyelani, nivune, nitshale izivini, nidle izithelo zazo.

Kepha nina niyakuthiwa abapristi bakaJehova , niyakubizwa ngokuthi izikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu wethu ; niyakudla imfuyo yezizwe , nizibonge ngodumo lwazo.

Ngalokho thana kubo : Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Nidla okunegazi , niphakamisa amehlo enu ezithombeni zenu, nichitha igazi. Pho, niyakudla ifa lezwe na?

Niyethemba enkembeni yenu , nenza izinengiso , ningcolisa, kube yilowo nalowo umkamakhelwane wakhe. Pho, niyakudla ifa lezwe na?

Niyakudla inyama yamaqhawe , niphuze igazi lez ikhulu zomhlaba , elezinqama, nelamawundlu, nelezimbuzi, nelezinkunzi, ezikhulupheleyo zaseBashani zonke.

Niyakudla amanoni nize nisuthe , niphuze igazi nize nidakwe emhlatshelweni wami engiwuhlaba ngenxa yenu.

Niyakudla nokudla , nisuthe, nilidumise igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu oniphathe ngokumangalisayo; abantu bami abayikujabha kuze kube phakade.

Ngomnyaka wesihlanu niyakudla kuzo izithelo zayo , ukuze inithelele kakhulu; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Ngosuku lweshumi nanhlanu lwaleyo nyanga kungumkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo kuJehova ; niyakudla isinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.

Niyakulima ngomnyaka wesishiyagalombili , nidle izithelo zikanyasa ; uze ufike umnyaka wesishiyagalolunye, kungene izithelo zawo, niyakudla unyasa.

Niyakudla unyasa omdala, nikhiphe unyasa ngenxa yokusha.

Nxa ngaphula uzime lwesinkwa , abesifazane abayishumi bayakupheka isinkwa sakho eziko linye , babuyise isinkwa senu ngesisindo ; niyakudla ningasuthi.

Ukubhula kwenu kuyakufinyelela ekuvunweni kwemivini , ukuvunwa kwemivini kuyakufinyelela esikhathini sokulima ; niyakudla isinkwa senu , nisuthe, nihlale ezweni lakini nilondekile.

Yisho kubantu ukuthi : Zingcweliseleni olwangakusasa, niyakudla inyama, lokhu nikhalile ezindlebeni zikaJehova ngokuthi : Ngubani oyakusipha inyama ukuba sidle , ngokuba kwakukuhle kithi eGibithe , ngalokho uJehova uyakuninika inyama, nize nidle.
