1 Ekulabeni kwenu ilizwe ngamaqashiso, ukuba libe lilifa, nomrhumela uYehova umrhumo oyinto engcwele kulo ilizwe elo: ubude bube ngamashumi omabini anamahlanu amawaka eengcongolo, ububanzi bube lishumi lamawaka. Woba ngcwele emdeni wawo wonke ngeenxa zonke.2 Kuwo apha oba ngawasengcweleni amakhulu amahlanu ubude, ngamakhulu amahlanu obubanzi, ube mbombo-ne ngeenxa zonke, ube ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu zephandle elingeenxa zonke kuwo.3 Kuyo loo ndawo ilinganisiweyo, wolinganisa ubude obungamashumi omabini anamahlanu amawaka, nobubanzi obulishumi lamawaka; ibe khona ingcwele le, ingcwele kangcwele.4 Yona yoba yinto engcwele kulo ilizwe elo; ilunge nababingeleli, abalungiseleli bengcwele, abasondela ukuba balungiselele kuYehova; ibe yindawo yezindlu zabo, indawo engcwele ilunge nengcwele.5 Amashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka obude, neli shumi lamawaka obubanzi, alunge nabaLevi, abalungiseleli bendlu; oba yinzuzo yabo eyimizi yokuba bahlale.6 Okomzi koba ngamawaka amahlanu obubanzi, anamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka obude, elungelelene nomrhumo ongcwele; ibe ngawendlu yonke kaSirayeli.7 Isikhulu nosinika ngapha nangapha komrhumo ongcwele, nakokomzi phambi komrhumo ongcwele, naphambi kokomzi ngecala lasentshonalanga, nise entshonalanga, nangecala lasempumalanga, nise empumalanga; ubude bulungelelane nesinye isahlulo sezizwe, buthabathele emdeni wasentshonalanga, buse emdeni wasempumalanga.8 Loba lilizwe laso, libe yinzuzo kuso kwaSirayeli; izikhulu zam zingabuyi zibe sabaxinzelela phantsi abantu bam; ke ilizwe zilinike indlu kaSirayeli ngokwezizwe zayo.

9 Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yanelani, nina zikhulu zakwaSirayeli; yekani ukugonyamela nokubhuqa, nenze okusesikweni nobulungisa; yekani ukubagxotha abantu bam emafeni abo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.10 Yibani nesikali sobulungisa, ne-efa yobulungisa, nebhate yobulungisa.11 Iefa nebhate yoba mlinganiso mnye, ibhate ikhongozele isahlulo seshumi sehomere, ne-efa isahlulo seshumi sehomere, sibe ngokwehomere isilinganiselo sayo.12 Ishekele yoba ngamashumi amabini eegera; amashumi amabini eeshekele, amashumi amabini anesihlanu eeshekele, ishumi elinesihlanu leeshekele, ibe yimina kum.

13 Nguwo lo umrhumo eniya kurhuma ngawo; isahlulo sesithandathu se-efa ehomereni yengqolowa, nirhume isahlulo sesithandathu se-efa ehomereni yerhasi;14 nomlinganiso omisiweyo weoli, webhate yeoli, nirhume isahlulo seshumi sebhate ekoreni, ezibhateni ezilishumi ehomereni ke; kuba iibhate ezilishumi ziyihomere.15 Norhuma ixhwane libe linye empahleni emfutshane engamakhulu amabini, yasemakriweni anamanzi akwaSirayeli, ibe yeyomnikelo wokudla, neyedini elinyukayo, neyemibingelelo yoxolo, ukuba bacanyagushelwe; itsho iNkosi uYehova.16 Bonke abantu belizwe eli bosirhumela lo mrhumo isikhulu sakwaSirayeli.17 Orholwa sisikhulu amadini anyukayo, nomnikelo wokudla, nothululwayo, emithendelekweni nasekuthwaseni kwenyanga, nasezisabatheni, nasemaxesheni amisiweyo endlu kaSirayeli. Lolungiselelwa siso idini lesono, nomnikelo wokudla, nedini elinyukayo, nemibingelelo yoxolo, ukuze icanyagushelwe indlu kaSirayeli.18 Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala enyangeni leyo, wothabatha inkunzi entsha, ithole lenkomo eligqibeleleyo, uyihlambulule ingcwele ngedini lesono.19 Umbingeleli wothabatha egazini ledini lesono elo, aliqabe emigubasini yendlu le, nasezimbombeni zone zamacala esibingelelo, nasemigubasini yesango lentendelezo ephakathi.20 Uya kwenjenjalo nangolwesixhenxe enyangeni leyo, ngenxa yomntu olahlekayo, nangenxa yosisiyatha, niyicamagushele indlu le.21 Ngeyokuqala inyanga, ngosuku lweshumi elinesine enyangeni leyo, noba nepasika, umthendeleko weentsuku ezisixhenxe; kodliwa izonka ezingenagwele.22 Ngaloo mini isikhulu, ngenxa yaso nangenxa yabantu bonke belizwe eli, solungiselela inkunzi entsha yenkomo, ibe lidini lesono.23 Iintsuku ezisixhenxe zomthendeleko somenzela uYehova idini elinyukayo; iinkunzi ezintsha zeenkomo zibe zisixhenxe, neenkunzi zeegusha ezigqibeleleyo zibe zisixhenxe ngemini, ngeentsuku zosixhenxe; nenkunzi yebhokhwe exhonti ibe lidini lesono ngemini.24 Solungiselela umnikelo wokudla, iefa enkunzini entsha, iefa enkunzini yegusha, ihin yeoli kuyo iefa.25 Ngenyanga yesixhenxe, ngosuku lweshumi elinesihlanu enyangeni leyo, emthendelekweni, siya kwenjenjalo ngeentsuku ezisixhenxe ngokusingisele kwidini lesono, nakwidini elinyukayo, nakumnikelo wokudla, nakwioli.
