UDutheronomi 24

1 “Nxa indoda ingathatha umfazi kodwa angayithokozisi ngoba indoda ifumene ihlazo ngaye ibe isimlobela incwadi yokuquma umtshado, imnike, ibisimxotsha endlini yayo,

“ʻOka fili mai ʻe ha tangata hono uaifi, pea na fakamaʻu mo ia, pea hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te ne maʻu ha fiemālie ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi kuo ne ʻilo ha meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻiate ia: tuku ai ke ne tohi haʻane tohi fakamāvae, pea ke ʻatu ia ki hono nima, pea fekau ia ke ʻalu mei hono fale.

2 kuthi esesukile endlini yaleyondoda athathwe ngeyinye indoda,

Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu mei hono fale, ʻe ngofua ʻa ʻene ʻalu ia ʻo hoko ko e uaifi ʻoe tangata kehe.

3 layo leyondoda yesibili imsole imnike incwadi yokwehlukana, imqhubele ibe isimxotsha emzini wayo, kumbe leyondoda ife,

Pea kapau ʻe fehiʻa kiate ia hono husepāniti ko ia, pea ne tohi maʻana ʻae tohi fakamāvae, ʻo ʻatu ia ki hono nima, pea fekau ia ke ʻalu mei hono fale; pea kapau ʻe mate ʻae husepāniti ki mui naʻa ne maʻu ia ko hono uaifi,

4 kutsho ukuthi indoda yakhe yakuqala, eyamalayo, ayivunyelwa ukumthatha futhi ngemva kokuba eselalelihlazo. Lokho kungaba yisinengiso emehlweni kaThixo. Lingalethi isono elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuba libe yilifa lenu.

‌ʻE ʻikai ngofua ki hono ʻuluaki husepāniti, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ia ke ʻalu, ke ne toe ʻomi ia ko hono uaifi, hili hono fakahalaʻi; he ko e meʻa kovi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko ho tofiʻa.

5 Nxa indoda isanda kuthatha, akufanelanga ukuba ithunyelwe empini loba ukuthi iphiwe umsebenzi oqakathekileyo.”

“ʻOka maʻu ʻe he tangata ʻae uaifi foʻou, ʻoua naʻa ʻalu ia ki he tau, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ha ngāue kiate ia: kae tuku ke ʻataʻatā ia ʻi ʻapi ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha, pea te ne fakafiemālie ki he uaifi ʻaia kuo ne maʻu.

6 “Lingathathi ilitshe lokuchola lembokodo loba imbokodo yodwa nje ukuba kube yisibambiso senhlawulo, ngoba ngokwenza njalo uthatha ukuphila kube yisibambiso.

“Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻave ʻe ha tangata ʻe taha ʻae maka toka lalo pe ko e maka ʻi ʻolunga ʻoe meʻa momosi ko e tuku totongi: he ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae moʻuiʻanga ko e tuku totongi.

7 Nxa owesilisa angafunyanwa ethumba umfowabo wako-Israyeli abesesiyamgcina njengesigqili loba amthengise, kumele afe. Kumele liqede ububi phakathi kwenu.

“Kapau ʻe maʻu ha tangata ʻoku ne kaihaʻasi ha niʻihi ʻi hono kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fakamālohiʻi ia, pe fakatau ia; pea ʻe mate ai ʻae kaihaʻa ko ia; pea ʻe tukuange ʻae kovi meiate kimoutolu.

8 Nxa kuyisifo sobulephero kumele linanzelele kakhulu lenze lokho abaphristi abangabaLevi abalilaya khona. Kumele lilandele khona kanye engabalaya ngakho.

“Ke ke vakai ʻi he mahaki ko e kilia ke ke tokanga lahi, ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻe pehē pe hoʻomou tokanga ʻo fai.

9 Khumbulani lokho okwenziwa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu kuMiriyemu endleleni emva kokusuka kwenu eGibhithe.

Manatu ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kia Miliame ʻi he hala, hili hoʻomou hiki mai mei ʻIsipite.

10 Nxa umakhelwane wakho umeboleka loba yini ungangeni endlini yakhe ukuba uthathe lokho abambisa ngakho.

“ʻOka ke ka nō atu ha meʻa ki ho tokoua, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ki hono fale ke toʻo mai hono tuku totongi.

11 Mana phandle uyekele lowo omebolekayo alethe isibambiso kuwe.

Ka ke tuʻu ʻituʻa, pea ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku ke nō atu hoʻo meʻa ki ai ke ne ʻomi kiate koe kituʻa ʻae tuku totongi.

12 Nxa kuyindoda engumyanga, ungayilala isibambiso sakhe silokhu sikuwe.

Pea kapau ʻoku masiva ʻae tangata, ʻoua naʻa ke mohe mo ʻene meʻa tuku totongi.

13 Buyisela isembatho sakhe lingakatshoni ukuze alale esembethe. Yena uzakubonga, kuzaphathwa njengesenzo sokulunga phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho.

Ke ke toe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae tuku totongi ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā, koeʻuhi ke mohe ia ʻi hono kofu ʻoʻona mo ne tāpuakiʻi koe: pea ko e meʻa angatonu ia kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

14 Ungabodlelezela umuntu oqhatshiweyo ongumyanga loba oswelayo, loba engumfowenu wako-Israyeli loba owezizweni ohlala kwelinye lamadolobho enu.

“ʻOua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ngāue ki he totongi ʻaia ʻoku masiva mo tuʻutāmaki, pe ko ha taha ia ʻi ho ngaahi kāinga, pe ʻi he kau muli ʻoku nofo ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo:

15 Muphe iholo lakhe insuku zonke ilanga lingakatshoni, ngoba ungumyanga uthembe leloholo. Funa asuke akhale kuThixo ekusola, ube lomlandu wesono.

‌ʻI he hoko hono ʻaho ke ke ʻatu kiate ia hono totongi, pea ʻoua naʻa tō ʻae laʻā ki ai; he ʻoku masiva ia, pea ʻoku tokanga hono loto ki ai: telia naʻa tangi ia kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko koe, pea hoko ia ko e angahala kiate koe.

16 Abazali abayikufela abantwababo, loba abantwana bafele abazali babo; ngulowo lalowo uzafela isono sakhe.

‌ʻE ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi tamai ko e fetongi ʻo ʻenau fānau, pea ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae fānau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamai: ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaʻana.

17 Ungavaleli owezizweni loba intandane ilungelo layo loba uthathe isembatho somfelokazi ukuze sibe yisibambiso.

“ʻOua naʻa ke fakahalaiaʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻae muli, pe ko e tamai mate; pe toʻo ʻae kofu ʻoe uitou ko e tuku totongi.

18 Khumbula ukuthi wawuyisigqili eGibhithe uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho wakuhlenga khona. Yikho ngikulaya ukuba wenze lokhu.

Ka ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite, pea naʻe huhuʻi koe mei ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ai ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.

19 Nxa uvuna ensimini yakho ube usutshiya isikhwebu, ungabuyeli emuva ukuyasithatha, sitshiyele owezizweni, intandane, lomfelokazi, ukuze uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akubusise kuwo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zakho.

“ʻOka ke ka tuʻusi hifo ho ututaʻu ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, pea kuo ngalo ʻae ū uite ʻe taha ʻi he ngoue, ʻoua naʻa ke toe ʻalu ki he ngoue ke ʻomi ia: tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou: koeʻuhi ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima.

20 Nxa ubhula ama-oliva ezihlahleni zakho ungabuyeli ukuhlola amagatsha njalo. Okuseleyo tshiyela owezizweni, intandane lomfelokazi.

‌ʻOka ke ka haha hoʻo ʻolive, ʻoua naʻa ke toe ala ki hono ngaahi pasanga: kae tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea ki he uitou.

21 Nxa uvuna izithelo zesivini sakho, ungabuyeleli futhi ukuvuna lapho osuvune khona. Okuseleyo tshiyela owezizweni, intandane lomfelokazi.

‌ʻOka ke ka toli ʻae ngaahi kālepi ʻo hoʻo ngoue vaine, ʻoua naʻa ke tānaki hono toenga: tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea ki he fefine paea.

22 Khumbulani ukuthi laliyizigqili eGibhithe. Yikho ngililaya ukuba lenze lokhu.”

Te ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite: ko ia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe ke fai ʻae meʻa ni.
