Deuteronomy 16
1 Observe the month of the aviv, and keep the passover unto YHWH thy Elohim: for in the month of the aviv YHWH thy Elohim brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
Gcina inyanga kaAbhibhi, wenzele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iphasika, ngoba ngenyanga kaAbhibhi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakukhupha eGibhithe ebusuku.
2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto YHWH thy Elohim, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose to place his name there.
Ngakho uzahlabela iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iphasika, lezimvu lenkomo, endaweni iNkosi ezayikhetha ukuthi ibeke ibizo layo khona.
3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
Ungadli lalo isinkwa esilemvubelo. Insuku eziyisikhombisa uzakudla lalo isinkwa esingelamvubelo, isinkwa senhlupheko, ngoba waphuma elizweni leGibhithe ngokuphangisa, ukuze ukhumbule usuku lokuphuma kwakho elizweni leGibhithe zonke izinsuku zempilo yakho.
4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
Njalo kakungabonwa kuwe imvubelo emingceleni yonke yakho insuku eziyisikhombisa; futhi okwenyama oyihlaba kusihlwa ngosuku lokuqala kakungalali ubusuku bonke kuze kuse.
5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee:
Awulakuhlaba iphasika phakathi kwaloba yiliphi lamasango akho, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika wona,
6 But at the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
kodwa endaweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ezayikhetha ukuhlalisa ibizo layo khona, lapho uzahlabela iphasika kusihlwa, ekutshoneni kwelanga, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo sokuphuma kwakho eGibhithe.
7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
Njalo uzalipheka, ulidlele endaweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ezayikhetha. Lekuseni uzaphenduka uye emathenteni akho.
8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH thy Elohim: thou shalt do no work therein.
Insuku eziyisithupha uzakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo; langosuku lwesikhombisa kube lomhlangano onzulu eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho; ungenzi umsebenzi.
9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
Uzazibalela amaviki ayisikhombisa. Kusukela beqalisa ngesikela emabeleni amileyo uzaqala ukubala amaviki ayisikhombisa.
10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto YHWH thy Elohim with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto YHWH thy Elohim, according as YHWH thy Elohim hath blessed thee:
Khona uzagcinela iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho umkhosi wamaviki, umnikelo wesihle wesandla sakho, ozawunikela, njengalokhu iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusisile.
11 And thou shalt rejoice before YHWH thy Elohim, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which YHWH thy Elohim hath chosen to place his name there.
Njalo uzathokoza phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, wena lendodana yakho lendodakazi yakho, lenceku yakho lencekukazi yakho, lomLevi ophakathi kwamasango akho, lowezizweni, lentandane, lomfelokazi, abaphakathi kwakho, endaweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ezayikhetha ukuhlalisa ibizo layo khona.
12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
Uzakhumbula-ke ukuthi wawuyisigqili eGibhithe. Njalo uzagcina njalo wenze lezizimiso.
13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
Umkhosi wamadumba uzazigcinela wona insuku eziyisikhombisa, ekubutheleni kwakho ebaleni lakho lokubhulela lesikhamelweni sakho sewayini.
14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
Njalo uzathaba emkhosini wakho, wena lendodana yakho lendodakazi yakho, lenceku yakho lencekukazi yakho, lomLevi, lowezizweni, lentandane, lomfelokazi, abaphakathi kwamasango akho.
15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto YHWH thy Elohim in the place which YHWH shall choose: because YHWH thy Elohim shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
Insuku eziyisikhombisa uzayigcinela iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho umkhosi, endaweni iNkosi ezayikhetha; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho izakubusisa kuzo zonke izithelo zakho lemsebenzini wonke wezandla zakho. Ngakho uzathokoza ngoqotho.
16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before YHWH thy Elohim in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before YHWH empty:
Kathathu ngomnyaka wonke owesilisa wakho uzabonakala phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho endaweni ezayikhetha, ngomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo, langomkhosi wamaviki, langomkhosi wamadumba. Njalo kayikubonakala phambi kweNkosi engaphathanga lutho;
17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH thy Elohim which he hath given thee.
ngulowo lalowo ngokwesipho sesandla sakhe, njengesibusiso seNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ekunike sona.
18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
Abahluleli lezinduna uzazibekela bona emasangweni akho wonke, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika wona, phakathi kwezizwe zakho, ukuthi bahlulele abantu ngesahlulelo esilungileyo.
19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
Ungaphambuli isahlulelo, ungakhangeli ubuso, ungemukeli isipho, ngoba isipho siphumputhekisa amehlo abahlakaniphileyo, siphambula amazwi abalungileyo.
20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee.
Ukulunga, ukulunga uzakunxwanela, ukuze uphile, udle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona.
21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of YHWH thy Elohim, which thou shalt make thee.
Ungazihlanyeleli isixuku saloba yisiphi isihlahla eduze kwelathi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ozazenzela lona.
22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which YHWH thy Elohim hateth.
Njalo ungazimiseli insika eyisithombe, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyizondayo.
