Mose 3 12
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 “De se siawo na Israelviwo be, ‘Ne nyɔnu aɖe dzi ŋutsuvi la, nyɔnu la ŋu mekɔ o, ŋkeke adre, eye wòawɔ se siwo dzi wòwɔna ne etsi gbɔto la dzi.
Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Uba owesifazana ekhululeka, abelethe owesilisa, uzakuba ngongcolileyo insuku eziyisikhombisa, njengensuku zokwehlukaniswa kwakhe esemfuleni uzakuba ngongcolileyo.
3 Ele be woatso aʋa na ɖevia le ŋkeke enyia gbe.
Langosuku lwesificaminwembili inyama yejwabu lakhe laphambili izasokwa.
4 Ekema le ŋkeke blaetɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃ siwo akplɔe ɖo, le ale si eŋuti mekɔ haɖe o ta la, maka asi nu kɔkɔe aɖeke ŋuti o, eye made Agbadɔ me hã o.
Khona ezahlala okwensuku ezingamatshumi amathathu lantathu egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, angathinti lutho olungcwele, angangeni endlini engcwele, zize ziphelele insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
5 Ne nyɔnu aɖe dzi nyɔnuvi la, nyɔnu la ŋu mekɔ o kɔsiɖa eve, eye wòawɔ se siwo dzi wòwɔna ne etsi gbɔto la dzi. Ekema le ŋkeke blaade-vɔ-ade siwo akplɔe ɖo me la, ʋu si anɔ dodom le eŋuti la ana be eƒe ŋuti nanɔ kɔkɔm.
Kodwa angabeletha owesifazana, uzakuba ngongcolileyo amaviki amabili, njengokwehlukaniswa kwakhe; uzahlala insuku ezingamatshumi ayisithupha lesithupha egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
6 “‘Ne nyɔnu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔ ƒe ɣeyiɣi de la, ne via nye ŋutsuvi loo alo nyɔnuvi hã la, ele na nyɔnu la be wòana alẽvi si xɔ ƒe ɖeka hena numevɔsa, eye wòana ahɔnɛ alo akpakpa ɖeka hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa. Atsɔ nu siawo ayi na nunɔla la le Agbadɔ la ƒe ʋɔtru nu,
Lapho sezigcwalisekile insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, ngendodana loba ngendodakazi, uzaletha iwundlu elilomnyaka owodwa, libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, lephuphu lenkwilimba kumbe ijuba kube ngumnikelo wesono, emnyango wethente lenhlangano, kumpristi,
7 nunɔla la asa vɔ na Yehowa, eye wòalé avu ɖe enu. Ekema eŋuti akɔ azɔ le ʋu si do le eŋu to vidzidzi me la megbe. “‘Esiawoe nye nu siwo wòle be woawɔ le vidzidzi megbe.
ozakunikela eNkosini, amenzele inhlawulo yokuthula; khona ezahlambuluka ekopheni kwegazi lakhe. Lo ngumlayo walowo obeletha owesilisa loba owesifazana.
8 Ke ne nyɔnu aɖe da ahe ale gbegbe be mate ŋu ana alẽ o la, ekema ele nɛ be wòana akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛ eve. Woatsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa numevɔ, eye woatsɔ evelia asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsae. Nunɔla la atsɔ nu siawo alé avu ɖe enu ale be eŋuti nagakɔ.’”
Kodwa uba isandla sakhe singatholi okwanela imvu, uzathatha amajuba amabili loba amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba, okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa lokunye kube ngumnikelo wesono, lompristi amenzele inhlawulo yokuthula, aze ahlambuluke.
