< ULevi 13 >
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
2 “Loba ngubani ozabe evuvukile, loba equbukile, loba elechatha elicazimulayo ejwabini lakhe okungasuka kube ngumkhuhlane wobulephero, kumele alethwe ku-Aroni umphristi loba komunye wamadodana akhe ongumphristi.
“Sɛ obi hu sɛ biribi ahon ne honam ani, anaa pɔmpɔ anaa atape asi no na adidi akɔ ne honam mu a, onhu sɛ ɛyɛ kwata. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa onipa no kɔma ɔsɔfo Aaron anaa ne mmabarima no mu baako
3 Umphristi kahlole lesisilonda esisejwabini lakhe, kuthi kungabonakala ukuthi uboya obusesilondeni sebumhlophe, lokuthi lesilonda laso sizikile enyameni, kuyabe kungumkhuhlane wobulephero. Nxa umphristi emhlola, uzamtshela ukuthi ungcolile ngokomlayo.
na ɔhwɛ kuru no. Sɛ nwi a esi kuru no hɔ dan yɛ fitaa na kuru no atu atɔ ɔhonam no mu a, na ɛyɛ kwata a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no da no adi sɛ ɔyarefo no yɛ ɔkwatani.
4 Kanti-ke lanxa ibala elisejwabini limhlophe kodwa libonakala ukuthi alijulanga enyameni njalo loboya obukhonapho bungakabimhlophe, umphristi kamsuse ebantwini, ahlale yedwa okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
Na sɛ kuru no ntɔɔ ɔhonam no mu na sɛ kuru no hɔ nwi no nso nyɛɛ fitaa a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no yi ɔyarefo no fi nnipa mu nnanson.
5 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi kumele amhlole, kuthi-ke nxa ebona ukuthi isilonda lokhu sinjalo njalo kasiqhelanga ejwabini, kumele amehlukanise kwabanye okwezinye njalo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
Nnanson no du a, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no bio na sɛ kuru no nsakrae na ɛntrɛwee wɔ ɔhonam no ani a, ɔsɔfo no bɛsan atwa no asu nnanson bio.
6 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi uzamhlola njalo, kuthi-ke nxa isilonda sesifiphele singaqhelanga ejwabini, umphristi uzamtshela lowomuntu ukuthi usehlambulukile, bekukade kuyikuqubuka kodwa nje. Leyondoda izagezisa izigqoko zayo njalo iyabe isihlambulukile.
Afei ne nnanson so no, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ ne honam ani bio, na sɛ ohu sɛ ɔyare no ano abrɛ ase a ɛntrɛwee a, ɔsɔfo no bɛka ato gua sɛ, ɔyarefo no ho atɔ no; ɔbɛkyerɛ mu sɛ ɛyɛ ntwom bi na eguu no bere tiaa bi mu. Enti sɛ ɔyarefo no horo ne ntama a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ wanya ayaresa awie.
7 Kodwa ukuqubuka kungaqhela ejwabini lakhe ngemva kokuba eseke waziveza kumphristi ukuba kuthiwe usehlambulukile, kumele aziveze njalo kumphristi.
Na sɛ nso ɔyarefo no ba ɔsɔfo no nkyɛn ma ɔhwɛ no na ɔyare no atrɛtrɛw a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsan ba ɔsɔfo no nkyɛn bio
8 Umphristi uzamhlola, kuthi-ke nxa ukuqubuka kuqhelile ejwabini, umphristi kumele amtshele ukuthi kakahlambuluki; yibulephero.
na ɔhwɛ no na sɛ ɔyare no atrɛtrɛw wɔ ɔhonam no ani a, afei, ɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ amanne kwan so no, ne ho ntew na ɛyɛ ɔhonam ani nsanyare.
9 Nxa kulomuntu olobulephero, kumele alethwe kumphristi.
“Sɛ obi nya ɔhonam ani nsanyare a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo na ɔhwɛ no.
10 Umphristi kamhlole, kuthi nxa kuleqhubu elimhlophe eseliphendule uboya babamhlophe njalo lilomlomo,
Sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ nwi no bi ayɛ fitaa na kuru atɔ saa beae hɔ a,
11 yibulephero, ngakho umphristi uzakuthi ungcolile. Kangamehlukanisi labanye, ngoba uvele esengongcolileyo.
na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhonam ani nsanyare, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no de to gua sɛ amanne kwan so no, onipa no ho ntew. Ɛba saa a, wɔnhwehwɛ ɔyare no mu bio, efisɛ ɛda adi pefee sɛ ɔhonam no ayɛ kwata.
12 Nxa ubulephero sobumemetheka umzimba wonke okubonwa ngumphristi ukuthi sobugcwele kusukela ekhanda kuze kube sezinyaweni,
“Nanso sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ kwata no adidi ne honam nyinaa fi ne ti so kosi ne nan ase nyinaa a,
13 umphristi uzamhlola, kuthi nxa bugcwele umzimba wonke, atsho athi lowomuntu uhlambulukile. Njengoba ijwabu seliphenduke labamhlophe lonke, uyabe ehlambulukile.
ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ne ho tew, efisɛ ne honam nyinaa adan ayɛ fitaa.
14 Kodwa nxa kubonakala sekupetuka inyama esilondeni uzabe engongcolileyo.
Na sɛ akuru no bi pue ne honam no baabi foforo a, wɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ onipa no yɛ ɔkwatani.
15 Umphristi nxa ebona inyama isipetuka uzakuthi ungcolile. Inyama epetukileyo ingcolile; ulobulephero.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka ntɛm ara a ohu kuru wɔ honam no fa baabi, efisɛ akuru no kyerɛ sɛ kwata wɔ ɔhonam no mu.
16 Kodwa leyonyama epetukileyo ingaguquka ibemhlophe kufanele onjalo aye kumphristi.
Na sɛ akuru no wu na ɛdan yɛ fitaa sɛ ɔhonam a aka no a, ɔkwatani no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfo no hɔ bio.
17 Umphristi amhlole, kuthi nxa izilonda sezisuke zaba mhlophe, umphristi uzakuthi lowo olazo uhlambulukile; ngakho uzabe esehlambulukile.
Ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no na sɛ ɔhonam no fa hɔ ayɛ fitaa de a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka sɛ ne ho atɔ no.
18 Nxa kulomuntu olethumba ejwabini lakhe libe seliphola,
“Sɛ pɔmpɔ si obi na agyae
19 kuthi lapho obekulethumba khona kubonakale kumhlotshana kuvuvukile loba iqhubu elibomvana, kumele azilethe kumphristi.
na sɛ baabi a pɔmpɔ no sii no biribi hyerɛnn bi, anaa nea ɛbere kakra hon wɔ hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo.
20 Umphristi alihlole, kuthi nxa kubonakala lijulile loboya obuphezu kwalo sebumhlophe, umphristi uzakuthi ungcolile. Yibulephero obuvela lapho obekulethumba khona.
Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ɔyare no adidi kɔ ne honam mu na nwi a ɛwɔ ɔhonam no hɔ no ayɛ fitaa a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ɔyarefo no ho ntew, efisɛ kwata apue afi pɔmpɔ no mu.
21 Kodwa nxa khona laphayana ekuhlolweni kwalo ngumphristi kungelaboya obumhlophe phezu kwalo, njalo lingajulanga selifiphele, kulapho umphristi azamehlukanisa khona labanye okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
Nanso sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ohu sɛ nwi fitaa biara nni baabi a ɔyare no wɔ hɔ no, na ɔyare no nnidi nkɔɔ honam no mu, na ahosu no yɛ nsonso a ɔsɔfo no beyi no afi nnipa mu nnanson.
22 Nxa liqhela ejwabini, umphristi uzakuthi ungcolile, lona liyisifo esithelelwanayo.
Saa bere no mu sɛ beae hɔ no trɛtrɛw a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se, onipa no yare kwata.
23 Kodwa nxa umbala walo ulokhu unjalo, njalo lingaqhelanga, kuyabe kulitshisa elatshiywa lithumba, ngakho umphristi uzakuthi uhlambulukile.
Na sɛ beae a ɛhɔ ayɛ hyerɛnn no anhon bio na antrɛtrɛw a, na ɛyɛ pɔmpɔ no twa kɛkɛ enti ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ne ho tew.
24 Nxa umuntu elethuthuva ejwabini lakhe besekuvela itshatha elibomvana loba elimhlophe enyameni epetukileyo yetshisa,
“Sɛ obi hyehyew na sɛ ɔhyehyew no mu yɛ kɔkɔɔ ne fitaa anaa fitaa a,
25 umphristi kalihlole, kuzakuthi nxa uboya obuphezu kwalo sebumhlophe, kubonakale kungani kujulile, yibulephero obuvela ngethuthuva. Umphristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile, yibulephero.
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ faako a ɔhyehyew no wɔ. Sɛ nwi a ɛwɔ beae a ɛhɔ nnii dɛm biara no dan yɛ fitaa na sɛ ɛyɛ ade a adidi kɔ ɔhonam no mu a, na ɛyɛ kwata na apue afi ɔhyehyew no mu, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka sɛ onipa no yɛ ɔkwatani.
26 Kodwa umphristi angalihlola kubonakale kungelaboya obumhlophe, kungajulanga njalo sekufiphele, yikho lapho umphristi azamehlukanisa labanye okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ hu sɛ nwi fitaa nni beae a ɛhɔ yɛ hyerɛnn no, na sɛ hyerɛnn no nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu, na ɔyare no regyae a, ɔsɔfo no beyi no afi nnipa mu nnanson
27 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi uzamhlola, kuthi nxa liqhela ejwabini, umphristi athi ungcolile, yibulephero.
na wahwɛ no ne nnanson so bio. Sɛ ɔyare no trɛw fa ɔhonam no ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se kwata ayɛ onipa no.
28 Kodwa nxa itshatha lilokhu linjalo futhi lingaqhelanga ejwabini kodwa selifiphele, kuyabe kulithuthuva elivuvukileyo, umphristi uzakuthi uhlambulukile, bekulitshisa nje kuphela.
Nanso sɛ ɔhonam no fa hɔ a ayɛ hyerɛnn no antrɛtrɛw ɔhonam no ani, na sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ nea ɛhɔ retwintwam no a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyehyew twa bi, enti ɔsɔfo no bɛda no adi sɛ ɔnyare kwata.
29 Nxa owesilisa loba owesifazane elesilonda ekhanda loba esilevini,
“Sɛ kuru da ɔbarima anaa ɔbea bi tirim anaa nʼafono ho a,
30 umphristi kasihlole, kuthi nxa kubonakala sijulile enyameni, inwele phezu kwaso sezimpofana njalo zingakhuli, umphristi uzakuthi lowomuntu ungcolile, yibulephero bekhanda loba obesilevu.
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ; sɛ ɔhwɛ na ohu sɛ ɔyare no adidi kɔ ɔhonam no mu na ɔsan hu nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade wɔ kuru no mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpae mu ka se onipa no yare kwata.
31 Kodwa nxa umphristi angasihlola isilonda leso abone singajulanga, kungelanwele ezimnyama kuso, umphristi uzamsusa lowomuntu ebantwini okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ohu sɛ ɔyare no nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu, na mmom, ɛwɔ ɔhonam no ani a nwi tuntum wɔ mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ woyi onipa no fi nnipa mu nnanson,
32 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa, umphristi kumele asihlole leso silonda, kuthi nxa singaqhelanga ejwabini, njalo kungelaboya obulithanga phezu kwaso, khona kubonakala ukuthi asijulanga enyameni,
na ne nnanson so no, wɔsan hwɛ no bio. Sɛ ɔyare no ntrɛtrɛwee, na nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade nnaa ne ho adi wɔ mu na ennidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu a,
33 kufanele aphucwe kutshiywe indawo elesifo, umphristi aphinde amehlukanise kwabanye okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
ɔbɛtwerɛw nwi a atwa kuru no ho ahyia nyinaa (na mmom ɛnyɛ kuru no mu ankasa) na ɔsɔfo no ayi no afi nnipa mu nnanson bio.
34 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umphristi kumele asihlole, kuthi nxa singaqhelanga njalo kukhanya singajulanga enyameni, umphristi kathi uhlambulukile. Kufanele agezise izigqoko zakhe, abesesiba ngohlambulukileyo.
Ne nnanson so no, ɔbɛsan ahwɛ no, na sɛ ɔyare no ntrɛtrɛw nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se onipa no ho atew na sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama wie a, na afei wadi mu.
35 Kodwa nxa isilonda siqhela ejwabini emva kokuba sekuthiwe usehlambulukile,
Na sɛ akyiri no saa ɔyare no trɛtrɛw a,
36 umphristi uzamhlola, kanti-ke nxa isilonda sisuke saqhela ejwabini, akudingakali ukuthi umphristi adinge ukubona uboya obulithanga; lowomuntu ungcolile.
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ no bio a ɔhwɛ sɛ nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade fra ɔyare no mu na ɔpae mu ka se, onipa no yare kwata.
37 Kodwa nxa ngokubona kwakhe isilonda leso silokhu singaguqukanga sekulenwele ezimnyama kuso, siyabe sesipholile. Uyabe esehlambulukile, umphristi uzakuthi uhlambulukile.
Na sɛ ɔyare no trɛw a ɛtrɛtrɛw no gyae na sɛ nwi tuntum fuw wɔ beae hɔ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ne ho atɔ no a kwata biara nni ne ho enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se ne ho atew.
38 Nxa indoda loba owesifazane elamabala amhlotshana ejwabini,
“Sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea bi honam ani yɛ fitaa hanahana,
39 umphristi kumele awahlole, kuthi nxa amabala lawo emhlotshana okungani kufiphele, kuyabe kuyikuqubuka okumveleleyo ejwabini; ngakho lowomuntu uhlambulukile.
na akyiri no ɔhonam no ani dum ara na ɛredum a, na ɛnkyerɛ sɛ kwata ayɛ onipa no, na mmom, ɛyɛ ɔyare foforo bi.
40 Nxa indoda ingaselanwele isilempabanga, ihlambulukile.
“Sɛ obi ti so pa a, ɛwɔ mu sɛ ne ti so apa de, nanso ɛno nkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwatani!
41 Nxa ingaselanwele phezu kwebunzi, isilempabanga ihlambulukile.
Sɛ obi ti so pa fi ne moma so a, na ne moma so ara na apa, na ɛnkyerɛ sɛ ɛyɛ kwata.
42 Kodwa nxa ilesilonda esibomvana-okumhlotshana ekhanda elilempabanga loba ebunzini, yibulephero obuyabe buqalisa ekhanda loba ebunzini.
Na mmom, sɛ nsisii akɔkɔɔ a fitaa frafra mu wɔ tipae no so a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ebia kwata pɛ sɛ ɛyɛ saa onipa no.
43 Umphristi kayihlole leyondoda, kuthi nxa isilonda esivuvukayo ekhanda layo loba ebunzini sibomvana-okumhlotshana njengobulephero,
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no na sɛ biribi kɔkɔɔ aboa ne ho baabi te sɛ kwata a,
44 leyondoda isilabo njalo isingcolile. Umphristi uzakuthi leyondoda ingcolile ngenxa yaleso silonda esisekhanda layo.
na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, kwata ayɛ no, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se, onipa no yare kwata.
45 Umuntu olobulephero kumele agqoke izigqoko ezidabukileyo, ayekele inwele zakhe zingakanywanga, embese ingxenye yangaphansi kobuso bakhe amemeze athi: ‘Ngingcolile! Ngingcolile!’
“Onipa biara a wobehu sɛ ɔyare kwata no, ɛsɛ sɛ ofura ntama a atetew na ɔma ne tinwi fuw, twa mpɛsɛmpɛsɛ na ɔkata nʼanim fa na ɔnam a ɔteɛteɛ mu se, ‘Me ho ntew! Me ho ntew!’
46 Kuzakuthi nxa elokhu elaleso sifo, ahlale engongcolileyo. Kumele ahlale yedwa, ahlale ngaphandle kwesihonqo.”
Na nna dodow a ɔyare no nkɔe no de, wɔbɛfa ɔyarefo no sɛ ne ho ntew enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena kurow no akyi baabi.
47 “Nxa isigqoko sagqokwa ngumuntu olobulephero, isembatho sewulu loba eselembu,
“Sɛ kwata ho nsɛnkyerɛnne bi ka atade,
48 eselukiweyo loba esiphothiweyo kuyiwulu loba ilembu, isikhumba loba yini eyenziwe ngesikhumba,
kuntutam anaa nweratam, aboa nhoma anaa biribiara a wɔde aboa nwoma ayɛ mu,
49 nxa lokhu kungcola kusesembathweni selembu, isikhumba, loba yini eyelukiweyo, loba ephothiweyo loba kuyini okwesikhumba, kubonakala kuluhlazana loba kubomvana, yibulephero; kufanele kutshengiswe umphristi.
na sɛ nsisii ahabammono anaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ mu a, ebia na ɛyɛ kwata, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde kɔma ɔsɔfo na ɔhwɛ.
50 Umphristi kahlole ukungcola lokhu abesesehlukanisa leyonto esingcolile, ibekwe yodwa okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
Ɔsɔfo no de bɛkɔ akosie nnanson.
51 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuzamele akuhlole, kuthi nxa ukungcola sekuqhelile esembathweni, eselukiweyo loba esithungiweyo, loba isikhumba, loba sisetshenziswani, lokho kuyibulephero, isembatho leso singcolile.
Nnanson so no, wasan ahwɛ bio. Na sɛ ohu sɛ nsisii no atrɛtrɛw a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɛyɛ kwata a etumi san nnipa.
52 Kumele asitshise isembatho leso, loba eselukiweyo lesithungiweyo, kuyiwulu loba ilembu, loba kuyinto yesikhumba elesifo sokungcola, njengoba kuyibulephero; leyonto kumele itshiswe.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ogya hyew ntama, kuntu ne ntadetam ne aboa nwoma no nyinaa, efisɛ, ɛnam eyinom so betumi ama ɔyare no asan nnipa.
53 Kodwa, nxa kuyikuthi ekuhlolweni kwaso ngumphristi, kubonakale ukuthi isifo asiqhelanga ezigqokweni, loba eselukiweyo loba esithungiweyo, loba esesikhumba,
“Na sɛ ne nnanson so no ɔhwɛ na sɛ nsisii no ntrɛtrɛwee a,
54 uzalaya ukuthi lololutho olungcolileyo lugeziswe. Kulapho-ke azakwehlukanisa khona kwezinye okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
ɔsɔfo no bɛhyɛ ama wɔahoro nneɛma a wodwen sɛ ɔyare no bi wɔ mu no no nyinaa na wɔakora no baabi bio nnanson.
55 Ngemva kokuba lesosembatho esingcolileyo sesigezisiwe, umphristi uzasihlola, kuthi nxa isifo sokungcola esisesigqokweni singaguqukanga umbala waso lanxa siyabe singaqhelanga, singcolile. Kasitshiswe ngomlilo, loba isifo sokungcola sihlasele nganxanye.
Sɛ nnanson bio akyi faako a ɔyare no wɔ hɔ no nsesaa nʼahosu na ɛntrɛwee a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ ɛyɛ kwata nti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew ade no, efisɛ ɔyare no adidi kɔ mu ara yiye.
56 Nxa, lapho umphristi esihlola, kubonakale isilonda sesifiphele ngemva kokugeziswa kwesigqoko, umphristi kadabule ingxenye ebilesifo esigqokweni loba yisikhumba loba ngeselukiweyo loba esiphothiweyo.
Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ nneɛmahoro no akyi, nsisii no ano abrɛ ase a, obetwa hɔ afi ntama anaa aboa nwoma a wɔde adi dwuma bi no mu.
57 Kodwa nxa isifo sibonakala futhi esigqokweni, ingabe eselukiweyo loba esiphothiweyo, loba kungesesikhumba, siyabe siyaqhela, akuthi konke okulesifo kutshiswe ngomlilo.
Na sɛ ɛsan ba bio de a, na ɛyɛ kwata enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew no.
58 Isigqoko siphi lasiphi, kungaba ngesokwelukwa, esokuphothwa loba esesikhumba esesike sageziswa sahlanzwa lesosifo kumele sigeziswe futhi, kube yikho ukuhlanzeka kwaso.”
Sɛ wɔhoro na asɛm biara amma ho a, wotumi de di dwuma biara bere a wɔasan ahoro no.”
59 Le yiyo imilayo emayelana lokungcoliswa yibulephero ezigqokweni loba ngezewulu kumbe ezelembu, kungaba ngezelukiweyo loba eziphothiweyo, loba isikhumba; ukuze kuthiwe zihlambulukile loba zingcolile.
Eyinom ne mmara a ɛfa kwata a ɛwɔ ntama anaa biribiara a wɔde aboa nhoma ayɛ a wɔnam so da no adi sɛ kwata wɔ dekode no mu anaa bi nni mu no ho.
