Leviticus 19
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 'Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy [am] I, Jehovah, your God.
Tshono kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Banini ngcwele, ngoba mina iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ngingcwele.
3 'Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Yesabani, ngulowo lalowo, unina loyise. Gcinani-ke amasabatha ami. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
4 'Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Lingaphendukeli ezithombeni, lingazenzeli onkulunkulu ababunjwe ngokuncibilikisa. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
5 'And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;
Njalo nxa linikela umhlatshelo weminikelo yokuthula eNkosini, liwunikele ukuze lemukeleke.
6 in the day of your sacrificing it is eaten, and on the morrow, and that which is left unto the third day with fire is burnt,
Uzadliwa ngosuku lokunikela kwenu langakusasa; kodwa okuseleyo ngosuku lwesithathu kuzatshiswa ngomlilo.
7 and if it be really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,
Uba kudliwa lokudliwa ngosuku lwesithathu, kuzakuba yisinengiso; kakuyikwemukeleka.
8 and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.
Ngakho okudlayo uzathwala ububi bakhe, ngoba ungcolise okungcwele kweNkosi; lalowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke ebantwini bawo.
9 'And in your reaping the harvest of your land ye do not completely reap the corner of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather,
Lalapho livuna isivuno selizwe lakini, ungavuni ngokupheleleyo umngcele wensimu yakho; futhi ungabuthi okuseleyo kwesivuno sakho.
10 and thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Ungakhothozi isivini sakho; futhi ungabuthi okuwileyo kwesivini sakho; uzakutshiyela abayanga labemzini. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
11 'Ye do not steal, nor feign, nor lie one against his fellow.
Lingebi, lingaphathi ngenkohliso, lingaqambi manga omunye kumakhelwane wakhe.
12 'And ye do not swear by My name to falsehood, or thou hast polluted the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
Lingafungi ngamanga ngebizo lami, loba ungcolise ibizo likaNkulunkulu wakho. NgiyiNkosi.
13 'Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder; the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till morning.
Ungacindezeli umakhelwane wakho, ungamphangi. Iholo loqhatshiweyo lingahlali kuwe ubusuku kuze kube sekuseni.
14 'Thou dost not revile the deaf; and before the blind thou dost not put a stumbling block; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
Ungaqalekisi isacuthe, ungafaki isikhubekiso phambi kwesiphofu, kodwa wesabe uNkulunkulu wakho. NgiyiNkosi.
15 'Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.
Ungenzi ukungalungi ekwahluleleni; ungemukeli ubuso bomyanga, ungahloniphi ubuso bomkhulu, yahlulela umakhelwane wakho ngokulunga.
16 'Thou dost not go slandering among thy people; thou dost not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I [am] Jehovah.
Ungahambahambi njengomnyundi phakathi kwabantu bakini; ungamelani legazi lomakhelwane wakho. NgiyiNkosi.
17 'Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on him.
Ungazondi umfowenu enhliziyweni yakho; umkhuze lokumkhuza umakhelwane wakho, ungathwali isono ngenxa yakhe.
18 'Thou dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I [am] Jehovah.
Ungaphindiseli, ungabi lasikhwili labantwana babantu bakini; kodwa thanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. NgiyiNkosi.
19 'My statutes ye do keep: thy cattle thou dost not cause to gender [with] diverse kinds; thy field thou dost not sow with diverse kinds, and a garment of diverse kinds, shaatnez, doth not go up upon thee.
Gcinani izimiso zami. Ungavumeli izifuyo zakho zikhwelwe yimihlobo emibili. Ungahlanyeli insimu yakho ngenhlobo ezimbili. Lesigqoko esemihlobo emibili exubeneyo singezi phezu kwakho.
20 'And when a man lieth with a woman with seed of copulation, and she a maid-servant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom hath not been given to her, an investigation there is; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.
Lendoda, nxa ilala ngokwenyama lomfazi, eyisigqilikazi esikhombileyo, esingahlengwanga lokuhlengwa, kumbe singanikwanga inkululeko, kuzakuba lesijeziso. Kabayikubulawa, ngoba sasingakhululwanga.
21 'And he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering,
Njalo izaletha umnikelo wayo wecala eNkosini, emnyango wethente lenhlangano, inqama ibe ngumnikelo wecala.
22 and the priest hath made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before Jehovah, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him because of his sin which he hath sinned.
Njalo umpristi uzayenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ngenqama yomnikelo wecala phambi kweNkosi ngesono sayo esonileyo, izathethelelwa-ke esonweni sayo esonileyo.
23 'And when ye come in unto the land, and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then ye have reckoned as uncircumcised its fruit, three years it is to you uncircumcised, it is not eaten,
Lalapho selifikile elizweni, lihlanyele yonke imihlobo yezihlahla zokudla, lizathatha isithelo sazo njengento engasokwanga; iminyaka emithathu sizakuba singasokwanga kini, singadliwa.
24 and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy — praises for Jehovah.
Kodwa ngomnyaka wesine sonke isithelo sazo sizakuba ngcwele, sibe yindumiso eNkosini.
25 And in the fifth year ye do eat its fruit — to add to you its increase; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Langomnyaka wesihlanu lingadla isithelo sazo, ukuze zilengezelelele isivuno sazo. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
26 'Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor observe clouds.
Lingadli lutho olulegazi. Lingenzi imilingo, lingachasisi ngemibono.
27 'Ye do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of thy beard.
Lingageli amagumbi ekhanda lenu, ungoni amagumbi endevu zakho.
28 'And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I [am] Jehovah.
Lingazicabi enyameni yenu ngenxa yofileyo, lingafaki phezu kwenu uphawu lokuzisika. NgiyiNkosi.
29 'Thou dost not pollute thy daughter to cause her to go a-whoring, that the land go not a-whoring, and the land hath been full of wickedness.
Ungangcolisi indodakazi yakho ngokuyenza ibe liwule, hlezi ilizwe liphinge, lelizwe ligcwale inkohlakalo.
30 'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.
Gcinani amasabatha ami, lihloniphe indlu yami engcwele. NgiyiNkosi.
31 'Ye do not turn unto those having familiar spirits; and unto wizards ye do not seek, for uncleanness by them; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Lingaphendukeli kulabo abalamadlozi lakwabalumbayo; lingabadingi ukuze lingcoliswe yibo. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
32 'At the presence of grey hairs thou dost rise up, and thou hast honoured the presence of an old man, and hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
Sukumela impunga, uhloniphe ubuso bomdala, wesabe uNkulunkulu wakho. NgiyiNkosi.
33 'And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee in your land, thou dost not oppress him;
Futhi nxa owezizweni ehlala njengowezizwe lawe elizweni lakini, lingamcindezeli.
34 as a native among you is the sojourner to you who is sojourning with you, and thou hast had love to him as to thyself, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt; I [am] Jehovah your God.
Owezizweni ohlala njengowezizwe lani uzakuba kini njengozalwa elizweni phakathi kwenu, umthande njengalokhu uzithanda wena; ngoba lalingabezizweni elizweni leGibhithe. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
35 'Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure;
Lingenzi ukungalungi ekwahluleleni, ebudeni, esisindweni, lesilinganisweni.
36 righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Banini lezikali zokulinganisa ezilungileyo, izilinganiso ezilungileyo, i-efa elilungileyo, lehini elilungileyo. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu owalikhupha elizweni leGibhithe.
37 and ye have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah.'
Ngakho gcinani zonke izimiso zami lezahlulelo zami zonke, lizenze. NgiyiNkosi.
