ULevi 12
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi:
OLELO mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
2 “Tshela abako-Israyeli ukuthi: ‘Umfazi ozithweleyo obelethe indodana uzakuba ngongcolileyo ngokomkhuba okwensuku eziyisikhombisa njengoba engcolile ngesikhathi esemfuleni.
E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, penei, Ina i hapai ka wahine a hanau he keikikane, e haumia ka wahine i na la ehiku, e like me na la o kona kaawale ana no kona mai, e haumia ana no ia.
3 Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili indodana le kuzamele isokwe.
A i ka walu o ka la e okipoepoeia'i kona iliomaka.
4 Owesifazane kufanele ame okwensuku ezingamatshumi amathathu lantathu ukuze ahlanjululwe ukopha kwakhe. Ngalesisikhathi, akumelanga abambe ulutho olungcwele njalo akumelanga aye endlini engcwele kuze kwedlule insuku zakhe zokuhlanjululwa.
Alaila noho ka wahine iloko o kona koko o kona hoomaemaeia, i na la he kanakolukumamakolu; aole e pa aku oia i ka mea hoano, aole hoi e komo i ke keenakapu, a pau ae na la o kona hoomaemae ana.
5 Nxa angabeletha indodakazi, owesifazane uzaba ngongcolileyo okwamaviki amabili, njenganxa esemfuleni. Kufanele ahlale okwensuku ezingamatshumi ayisithupha lezinsuku eziyisithupha ukuze ahlanjululwe ukopha kwakhe.
Aka ina i hanau oia he kaikamahine, alaila e haumia ia i na hebedoma elua, me ia i kona kaawale ana; a e noho no oia iloko o ke koko o kona hoomaemaeia i na la he kanaonokumamaono.
6 Nxa insuku zokuhlanjululwa ngokwendodana loba indodakazi seziphelile, kumele owesifazane alethe izinyane lemvu elilomnyaka owodwa kumphristi esangweni lethente lokuhlangana ukuze libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa kanye lephuphu lenkwilimba loba ijuba kube ngumnikelo wesono.
Aia pau na la o kona hoomaemae ana, no ke keikikane, a no ke kaikamahine paha, e lawe mai no oia i ke keikihipa o ka makahiki hookahi, i mohaikuni, a i ka manu nunu opiopio, a i ke kuhukuku paha i mohailawehala, i ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina, i ke kahuna;
7 Umphristi nguye ozanikela umnikelo phambi kukaThixo ukumenzela ukubuyisana, ngalokho uzabe esehlambulukile ngokomkhuba ekopheni kwakhe. Le yiyo imithetho elandelwa ngowesifazane ekubeletheni umfana loba inkazana.
Nana no ia e kaumaha aku ma ke alo o Iehova, a e hana i kalahala nona, a e hoomaemaeia oia mai ke kahe ana o kona koko. Oia ke kanawai no ka wahine i hanau he kane, he wahine paha.
8 Nxa engenelisi ukunikela ngezinyane lemvu, kumele alethe amajuba amabili loba inkwilimba ezisesencane ezimbili, okunye kungumnikelo wokutshiswa okunye kungumnikelo wesono. Ngalindlela umphristi uzamenzela ukubuyisana, owesifazane uzahlambuluka.’”
A ina e hiki ole ia ia ke lawe mai i ke keikihipa, alaila e lawe mai oia i na kuhukuku elua, a i na manu nunu opiopio paha, i kekahi i mohaikuni, a i kekahi i mohailawehala: a e hana ke kahuna i kalahala nona, a maemae no ia.
