Ebyabaleevi 12
1 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 “Abaana ba Isirayiri bagambe nti, ‘Omukazi bw’anaabanga olubuto, n’azaala omwana nga wabulenzi, omukazi oyo taabenga mulongoofu okumala ennaku musanvu, okufaanana nga bw’atabeera mulongoofu ng’ali mu kiseera ky’okulwala kw’abakazi okwa buli mwezi.
Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Uba owesifazana ekhululeka, abelethe owesilisa, uzakuba ngongcolileyo insuku eziyisikhombisa, njengensuku zokwehlukaniswa kwakhe esemfuleni uzakuba ngongcolileyo.
3 Ku lunaku olw’omunaana omwana oyo omulenzi anaakomolebwanga.
Langosuku lwesificaminwembili inyama yejwabu lakhe laphambili izasokwa.
4 Ate omukazi anaalindanga ne wayitawo ennaku amakumi asatu mu ssatu alyoke atukuzibwe olw’omusaayi ogwamuvaamu ng’azaala. Taakwatenga ku kintu ekitukuvu wadde okuyingiranga mu watukuvu okutuusa ng’ennaku z’okutukuzibwa kwe ziweddeko.
Khona ezahlala okwensuku ezingamatshumi amathathu lantathu egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, angathinti lutho olungcwele, angangeni endlini engcwele, zize ziphelele insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
5 Naye bw’anaabanga azadde omwana wabuwala, omukazi taabenga mulongoofu okumala wiiki bbiri, nga bw’abeera ng’ali mu kiseera kye eky’okulwala kw’abakazi okwa buli mwezi. Ate anaalindanga ennaku nkaaga mu mukaaga alyoke alongoosebwe olw’omusaayi ogwamuvaamu ng’azaala.
Kodwa angabeletha owesifazana, uzakuba ngongcolileyo amaviki amabili, njengokwehlukaniswa kwakhe; uzahlala insuku ezingamatshumi ayisithupha lesithupha egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
6 “‘Ennaku z’omukazi oyo ez’okutukuzibwa bwe zinaggwangako, bw’anaabanga azadde omwana mulenzi oba muwala, anaaleetanga eri kabona ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, omwana gw’endiga oguwezezza omwaka gumu obukulu okuguwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, ng’enjiibwa ento oba ejjiba ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi.
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 Kabona anaabiwangayo eri Mukama okutangirira omukazi oyo; bw’atyo anaabeeranga mulongoofu olw’omusaayi ogwamuvaamu ng’amaze okuzaala. “‘Ago ge mateeka agakwata ku mukazi anaazaalanga omwana owoobulenzi oba owoobuwala.
ozakunikela eNkosini, amenzele inhlawulo yokuthula; khona ezahlambuluka ekopheni kwegazi lakhe. Lo ngumlayo walowo obeletha owesilisa loba owesifazana.
8 Bw’anaabanga tasobola kuwaayo mwana gwa ndiga, anaaleetanga bibiri bibiri ku bino: enjiibwa ento bbiri oba amayiba abiri, ekimu nga ky’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’ekirala nga ky’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi. Mu ngeri eno kabona anaamutangiririranga, bw’atyo n’afuuka mulongoofu.’”
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.
