Leviticus 19
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, All of you shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
“Tshela lonke ibandla lako-Israyeli uthi kulo: ‘Wobani ngcwele ngoba mina Thixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngingcwele.
3 All of you shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
Ngulowo lalowo kini kahloniphe unina loyise, njalo kumele ligcine amaSabatha ami. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
4 Turn all of you not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
Lingaphendukeli ezithombeni loba lizibumbele onkulunkulu benu. NginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
5 And if all of you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, all of you shall offer it at your own will.
Nxa lisenza umhlatshelo womnikelo wobudlelwano kuThixo, wenzeni ngendlela ezakwenza wamukeleke ukusiza lina.
6 It shall be eaten the same day all of you offer it, and on the next day: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
Kumele udliwe ngalo ilanga lomhlatshelo loba ngelanga lakusasa; lokho okuseleyo kuze kube lilanga lesithathu kumele kutshiswe.
7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
Lokho okudliwa ngelanga lesithathu kuzabe sekungcolile, kungabe kusemukeleka.
8 Therefore every one that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Lowo okudlayo uzakuba lomlandu, ngoba uzabe esengcolise lokho okungcwele kuThixo.
9 And when all of you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
Lapho libutha isivuno samasimu enu, lingabuthi konke kuze kube semaphethelweni ensimu kumbe lize liqede konke.
10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
Lingakhi izithelo ezivinini zenu kabili kumbe lidobhe ezikhithikileyo. Zitshiyeleni abayanga lezihambi. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
11 All of you shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
Lingebi. Lingaqambi amanga. Lingakhohlisani.
12 And all of you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
Lingafungi amanga ngebizo lami, beselingcolisa ibizo likaNkulunkulu wenu. NginguThixo.
13 You shall not defraud your neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night until the morning.
Lingaqilibezeli umakhelwane wenu, lingamkhuthuzi. Umuntu oqhatshiweyo lingambambeli iholo lakhe kuze kube kusasa.
14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the LORD.
Lingathuki isacuthe loba liphosele isikhubekiso phambi kwesiphofu, kodwa yesabani uNkulunkulu wenu. NginguThixo.
15 All of you shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbour.
Lingawutshili umthetho; lingabandlululi umyanga kumbe litshengise ukukhetha abakhulu, kodwa mahluleleni ngokulunga umakhelwane wenu.
16 You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbour; I am the LORD.
Lingahambi linyeya kwabakini. Ungenzi lutho olulimaza umakhelwane wakho. NginguThixo.
17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any way rebuke your neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
Lingamzondi umfowenu ngezinhliziyo zenu. Khuzani umakhelwane likhululekile ukuze lingabi lomlandu njengaye.
18 You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the LORD.
Lingaphindiseli loba libambe isikhwili komunye wabantu bakini, kodwa thandani omakhelwane benu njengalokhu lizithanda lina. NginguThixo.
19 All of you shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind: you shall not sow your field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon you.
Gcinani izimemezelo zami. Lingenzi izifuyo zenu zikhwele ezolunye uhlobo. Lingahlanyeli insimu yinye ngemihlobo emibili yenhlanyelo etshiyeneyo. Lingavunuli izigqoko ezenziwe ngemihlobo yamalembu amabili atshiyeneyo.
20 And whosoever lies carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
Nxa indoda ingalala lowesifazane oyisigqili osethembise enye indoda kodwa ongakahlengwa loba waphiwa inkululeko, kayijeziswe leyondoda. Kodwa akumelanga babulawe ngoba owesifazane lowo kakakhululwa.
21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.
Kodwa indoda kumele ilethe inqama esangweni lethente lokuhlangana, ibe ngumnikelo wecala kuThixo.
22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he has done: and the sin which he has done shall be forgiven him.
Ngaleyonqama yomnikelo wecala, umphristi kamenzele indlela yokubuyisana kuThixo ngenxa yesono esenzileyo. Isono sayo sizathethelelwa.
23 And when all of you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then all of you shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
Nxa selingenile elizweni, lahlanyela zonke izihlahla ezidliwayo, lingadli izithelo zazo ngoba kuyazila. Ziyazila okweminyaka emithathu; kazingadliwa.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD likewise.
Ngomnyaka wesine, zonke izithelo zazo zizabangcwele, zibe ngumnikelo wokudumisa uThixo.
25 And in the fifth year shall all of you eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
Kodwa ngomnyaka wesihlanu lidle izithelo zazo. Ngaleyondlela, isivuno senu sizakwandiswa. Mina yimi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
26 All of you shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall all of you use enchantment, nor observe times.

33 And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, all of you shall not vex him.
Nxa owezizweni ehlala lani elizweni lenu, lingamhlukuluzi.
34 But the stranger that dwells with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for all of you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Owezizweni ohlala phakathi kwenu kumele laye aphathwe njengowakini. Limthande njengoba lizithanda lina, ngoba lalingabezizweni eGibhithe. Mina yimi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
35 All of you shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measuring rod, in weight, or in measure.
Lingasebenzisi izilinganiso zokuqilibezela nxa lilinganisa ubude, isisindo loba umthamo.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall all of you have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Sebenzisani izilinganiso eziqotho, ihefa eliqondileyo lehini eliqotho. Mina yimi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu owalikhupha eGibhithe.
37 Therefore shall all of you observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Gcinani zonke izimemezelo zami, layo yonke imithetho yami, liyilandele. Mina yimi uThixo.’”
