Leviticus 24
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
Laya abantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi balethe kuwe amafutha emihlwathi acengekileyo agigelwe ukukhanyisa ukuze izibane zivuthe njalonjalo.
3 Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.
Ngaphandle kweveyili lobufakazi, ethenteni lenhlangano, uAroni uzazilungisa phambi kweNkosi njalonjalo, kusukela kusihlwa kuze kube sekuseni; kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu.
4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
Uzalungisa izibane eluthini lwesibane olucwengekileyo phambi kweNkosi njalonjalo.
5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake.
Uzathatha-ke impuphu ecolekileyo, ubhake ngayo amaqebelengwana alitshumi lambili; ingxenye ezimbili etshumini kuzakuba liqebelengwana elilodwa.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
Uwabeke emizileni emibili, ayisithupha emzileni, phezu kwetafula elicwengekileyo phambi kweNkosi;
7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
futhi ubeke kulowo lalowo umzila inhlaka ecengekileyo, ibe yisinkwa sesikhumbuzo, umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
8 Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.
Ngalo lonke usuku lwesabatha uzakulungisa phambi kweNkosi njalonjalo, kuvela ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, yisivumelwano esilaphakade.
9 And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
Njalo kuzakuba ngokukaAroni lokwamadodana akhe, besebekudlela endaweni engcwele; ngoba kuyingcwelengcwele kuye, okuvela eminikelweni yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo, isimiso esilaphakade.
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
Kwasekuphuma indodana yowesifazana umIsrayelikazi, owayeyindodana yendoda engumGibhithe, phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Lalindodana yomIsrayelikazi lendoda engumIsrayeli balwa enkambeni.
11 and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed: and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
Indodana yowesifazana umIsrayelikazi yasihlambaza iBizo, yathuka. Basebemletha kuMozisi. Lebizo likanina lalinguShelomithi, indodakazi kaDibiri, owesizwe sakoDani.
12 And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of the LORD.
Basebemfaka esitokosini, ukuze bachasiselwe ngokomlomo weNkosi.
13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi yathi:
14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Khiphela ngaphandle kwenkamba umthuki; labo bonke abamuzwayo kababeke izandla zabo ekhanda lakhe, lenhlangano yonke imkhande ngamatshe.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
Khuluma-ke ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Ngulowo lalowo othuka uNkulunkulu wakhe uzathwala isono sakhe.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as the homeborn, when he blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death.
Lohlambaza ibizo leNkosi uzabulawa lokubulawa; inhlangano yonke izamkhanda lokumkhanda ngamatshe. Njengowokuzalwa elizweni uzakuba njalo owemzini, nxa ehlambaza iBizo uzabulawa.
17 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death;
Lomuntu nxa etshaya loba yiwuphi umphefumulo womuntu uzabulawa lokubulawa.
18 and he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life.
Lotshaya abulale inyamazana uzayihlawula, impilo ngempilo.
19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
Umuntu nxa esipha-ke umakhelwane wakhe isici, njengokwenza kwakhe kuzakwenziwa njalo kuye,
20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.
ukwephuka ngokwephuka, ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo; njengalokho ephe umuntu isici, kuzakwenziwa njalo kuye.
21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.
Lotshaya inyamazana ife uzayihlawula; lotshaya umuntu afe uzabulawa.
22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the homeborn: for I am the LORD your God.
Lizakuba lokwahlulela okukodwa, njengowezizwe uzakuba njalo owokuzalwa elizweni. Ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
UMozisi wakhuluma-ke ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ukuthi bamkhuphele ngaphandle kwenkamba umthuki, bamkhande ngamatshe. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
