Thempu Dan 17
1 Pakaiyin, Mose henga hiti hin aseipeh in,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 Aaron le achapte chule Israel chate jouse henga aseipeh ding in, bannei chan dan hochu athupeh in ahi.
“Tshela u-Aroni lamadodana akhe, labo bonke abako-Israyeli ukuthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo:
3 Israel telah a koi hijong leh, Pakai, Pathen chenna ponbuh kot phung tailouva; Pakai adia kilhaina bong, kelngoi chule kelcha that pen pen in danthu apalkeh ahi.
Loba ngubani owako-Israyeli ozakwenza umhlatshelo ngenkabi, izinyane lemvu loba imbuzi ezihonqweni loba ngaphandle kwazo,
4 Ama chun thisan asotah jeh a, Pathen miteh lah a kona kisimtha lou ding ahi.
esikhundleni sokuyiletha esangweni lethente lokuhlangana, ukuyinikela ukuthi ibe ngumnikelo kuThixo phambi kwethabanikeli likaThixo, lowomuntu uzakuba lecala lokuchitha igazi; usechithe igazi ngakho kumele axotshwe ebantwini bakibo.
5 Hiche thupeh in adeisah pen chu, gammang tollah a kithat gancha jouse chu, Pakai angsunga ahin kailut diuva thupeh ahi. Kotbul lama thempupa henga ahinkai lut diu, kiloikhomna thilto dia kithat ding ahi.
Lokhu kuzakwenza abako-Israyeli balethe kuThixo imihlatshelo le abayenzela egangeni. Kabayilethe kumphristi, lokhu kuyikuthi, kuThixo, esangweni lethente lokuhlangana njalo banikele njengeminikelo yobudlelwano.
6 Thisan chu thempu pan ki khop khomna ponbuh kot phung maicham kimvel jousea athe thang ding, Pakaiya dia sathao hochu gimnamtuiya agovam ding ahi.
Umphristi kachele i-alithari likaThixo ngegazi esangweni lethente lokuhlangana, atshise amahwahwa njengephunga elimnandi kuThixo.
7 Israel chaten Pathen ajoulhep nauva kelcha limsemthu, doihou dinga gammang lah a gancha atha kitlou diu ahi. Hiche dan thupeh hi Israelten akhang akhanga ajui diu ahi.
Bangabe besanikela loba yiwuphi umnikelo kubonkulunkulu babo bembuzi labo ababaxhwalisayo. Lesi kumele kube yisimiso sabo esingapheliyo lakuzizukulwane ezizayo.’
8 Israel mite hihen amaho lah a cheng gamchom mi hijong leh pumgo thilto ahi.
Wothi kubo: ‘Loba nguphi owako-Israyeli loba owezizwe ohlezi labo onikela umnikelo wokutshiswa loba umhlatshelo,
9 Kikhop khomna ponbuh kotphung tailouva Pathen adia kilhaina sem jouse, Pathen mite holah a kona kisim thalou ding ahi.
kodwa engawulethi esangweni lethente lokuhlangana ukuba akuhlabele uThixo, lowomuntu kaxotshwe ebantwini bakibo.
10 Israel hihen gamchom mi hijong leh, thisan lhoh lha theng louva sa toh neh tha aum le, hichu Pakai, Pathen toh kidou ahin, amite lah akona simtha lou ding ahi.
Loba ngubani owako-Israyeli loba owezizwe ohlala phakathi kwabo ozakudla loba yiliphi igazi, ngizamelana laye odla igazi, ngimxotshe phakathi kwabantu bakibo.
11 Ganhing jouse hinna hi thisan akon ahi, hiche jeh achu Pakaiyin mi jouse chonset suhmang ahitheina dinga, hichu maicham phunga asun lhah dinga thupeh ahi.
Ngoba impilo yesidalwa isegazini, njalo ngiliphile ukuthi lenze ukubuyisana kwenu e-alithareni ngalo; kuligazi elenze ukubuyisana empilweni yomuntu.
12 Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Israel chate le alah uva cheng gamchom miho jaonaa, sa chu thisan jaonaa neh lou dia athupeh ahi.
Ngakho ngithi kwabako-Israyeli, “Kakho phakathi kwenu ozakudla igazi, loba owezizwe ohlala phakathi kwenu ozakudla igazi.”
13 Israel mi hihen, gamchom mi alah uva cheng hi jong leh, gamlah a saham vacha ham, houtoh kitoh a atheng, hiche ho that pen pen chu thisanso ahitan, hichu leiset avuh khu ding ahi.
Loba ngubani owako-Israyeli loba owezizwe ohlala phakathi kwenu ozingela loba yiphi inyamazana loba inyoni edliwayo, kavuzise igazi aligqibele ngenhlabathi,
14 Ganhing hinna kiti hi thisan ahin, hibanga chu sa kiti phot Israel chaten thisan jaonaa nehlou dia Pakai thupeh ahi, koi hileh anetha chu amite lah a kona pampeiya um ding ahi.
ngoba impilo yesidalwa isegazini laso. Yikho ngithe kwabako-Israyeli, “Lingabokudla igazi laloba yisiphi isidalwa, ngoba impilo yesidalwa sonke ligazi laso; loba ngubani olidlayo kaxotshwe.”
15 Israel mi hihen gamchom mi hijong leh, gan thikam ahilouleh, sa hang ham in atha nekha aum le avon jouse akisop theng ding, ama jong kisil lha ding, nilhum keiya atheng louva um ding ahi.
Loba ngubani, kungaba ngumnikazi wendawo loba owezizwe, ozakudla loba kuyini okufunyanwe kufile, loba okubulewe yizinyamazana zeganga, kahlambe izigqoko zakhe kanye lomzimba wakhe ngamanzi, uzakuba ngongcolileyo ngokomkhuba kuze kuhlwe; uzakuba esehlambulukile.
16 Hichu abol tah louva ahileh, themmo chang ding ahi.
Kodwa nxa engahlambi izigqoko zakhe lokugeza umzimba wakhe, uzakuba lecala.’”
