ULevi 23
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
OLELO mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
2 “Khuluma labako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Le yimikhosi yami emisiweyo, imikhosi emisiweyo kaThixo okumele liyimemezele ukuba yimihlangano engcwele.’”
E olelo aku i na mamo a Iseraela, a e i aku ia lakou, o na ahaaina a oukou e kala ai he mau houluulu hoano, no'u no ia mau ahaaina.
3 “‘Kulensuku eziyisithupha elingasebenza ngazo, kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa liSabatha lokuphumula, usuku lomhlangano ongcwele. Lingenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi; kuzozonke izindawo elihlala kuzo, luliSabatha likaThixo.’”
I na la eono, e hanaia'i ka hana, aka o ka hiku o ka la, he Sabati e hoomaha'i ia, he houluulu hoano: aole oukou e hana: he Sabati ia no Iehova maloko o ko oukou mau hale a pau.
4 “‘Le yiyo imikhosi kaThixo emisiweyo, imihlangano engcwele elizayimemezela ngezikhathi zayo ezimisiweyo:
Eia na ahaaina a Iehova, na houluulu hoano a oukou e kala ai i ko lakou wa pono.
5 IPhasika likaThixo liqalisa kusihlwa ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga yakuqala.
I ka la umikumamaha o ka malama mua, i ke ahiahi, ilaila ka moliaola a Iehova.
6 Ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwaleyonyanga kuqaliswa uMkhosi kaThixo weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo; okwensuku eziyisikhombisa kumele lidle isinkwa esingelamvubelo.
A i ka la umikumamalima o ia malama no, ka ahaaina o ka berena huole, no Iehova; ehiku la e ai ai oukou i ka berena huole.
7 Ngosuku lwakuqala lenze umbuthano ongcwele njalo lingenzi imisebenzi yenu yansuku zonke.
I ka la mua, he houluulu hoano ko oukou, aole oukou e hana i ka hana e luhi ai ilaila:
8 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa nikelani umnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo. Kuthi ngosuku lwesikhombisa libe lenkonzo engcwele, lingenzi imisebenzi yenu yansuku zonke.’”
Aka e kaumaha oukou i ka mohai puhi ia Iehova i na la ehiku: a i ka hiku o ka la, he houluulu hoano, aole oukou e hana i ka hana e luhi ai.
9 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
10 “Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nxa selingene elizweni engizalinika lona kalibokuthi lingavuna lilethe kumphristi ilixha lesivuno samabele akuqala.
E olelo aku i na mamo a Iseraela, a e i aku ia lakou, Aia komo oukou i ka aina a'u e haawi aku ai ia oukou, a okioki hoi i ka ai ona, alaila e lawe mai oukou i ka pua hua mua o ka oukou ai i ke kahuna.
11 Kumele azunguze ilixha lelo kuThixo ukuze lamukeleke. Umphristi kufanele alizunguze ngelanga elilandela iSabatha.
A e hoali ae oia i ka pua imua i ke alo o Iehova, e maliuia'i ia no oukou: i ka la e noa ai ka Sabati, e hoali ai ke kahuna.
12 Ngelanga lokuzunguza ilixha kumele enze umhlatshelo ube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo, kube lizinyane lemvu eliduna eselilomnyaka, libe ngelingelasici,
A e kaumaha oukou ia la o oukou i hooluli ai i ka pua, i keikihipakane kina ole o ka makahiki hookahi, i mohaikuni no Iehova.
13 awunikele ndawonye lomnikelo wamabele oyingxenye yehefa ngokubili etshumini, kube yifulawa ecolekileyo evutshwe ngamafutha. Lo ngumhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo olephunga elimnandi. Kawenziwe njalo lomnikelo wokunatha oba yingxenye yehini eyodwa kokune kuliwayini.
A o kona mohai ai, elua hapa umi dila o ka palaoa wali i hui pu me ka aila, he mohai puhi no Iehova, i mea ala ono: a o kona mohai inu, he waina, he hapa ha o ka hina.
14 Lingadli sinkwa loba inhlamvu zamabele ezikhanzingiweyo kumbe ezintsha kuze kube yilelolanga eliletha ngalo umnikelo lo kuNkulunkulu wenu. Lokhu kakube yisimiso esingapheliyo kuzozonke izizukulwane ezizayo kungelani lokuthi lihlala ngaphi.’”
A o ka berena, a o ka hua palaoa moa, a o ka hua maka, aole oukou e ai a hiki i ka la i lawe mai ai oukou i ka mohai i ko oukou Akua; he kanawai mau loa ia i ko oukou mau hanauna, iloko o ko oukou mau hale a pau loa,
15 “‘Kusukela ngelanga elilandela iSabatha, ilanga elaletha ngalo ilixha lomnikelo wokuzunguza, balani amaviki ayisikhombisa agcweleyo.
A e helu oukou no oukou iho mai ka la e noa ai ka Sabati, mai ka la i lawe mai ai oukou i ka pua i mohai hoali; ehiku Sabati e pau ai.
16 Balani insuku ezingamatshumi amahlanu kusiyafika ilanga elingemva kweSabatha lesikhombisa, beseliletha umnikelo wamabele amatsha kuThixo.
A hiki i ka la e noa ai ka Sabati ahiku, e helu ai oukou i na la he kanalima, a e haawi hou i mohaiai hou ia Iehova.
17 Kungelani lokuthi lihlala ngaphi, lethani izinkwa ezimbili ezenziwe ngefulawa ecolekileyo, eyingxenye yehefa ngokubili etshumini, siphekwe ngemvubelo, kube ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa, owezithelo zakuqala kuThixo.
E lawe mai hoi oukou i elua popo berena hooluli elua hapa umi dila, he palaoa wali ia, e hoomoaia ia me ka hu; he mau hua mua ia no Iehova.
18 Lethani isinkwa lesi ndawonye lamawundlu amaduna ayisikhombisa, linye ngalinye lilomnyaka owodwa ubudala njalo lingelasici, ijongosi lenqama ezimbili. Kuzakuba ngumnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo kanye lomnikelo wamabele lowokunathwayo, umnikelo otshisiweyo ngomlilo oletha iphunga elimnandi kuThixo.
A e kaumaha oukou me ka berena, i ehiku keikihipa kina ole o ka makahiki mua, a i hookahi bipikane opiopio, a i elua hipakane: e lilo ia i mohaikuni no Iehova, me ko lakou mohai ai, me ko lakou mohai inu, he alana e kaumahaia ma ke ahi, he mea ala ono no Iehova.
19 Beselinikela ngempongo umnikelo wesono, langamawundlu amabili alomnyaka owodwa abe ngumnikelo wobudlelwano.
Alaila e kaumaha oukou i hookahi keikikao, i mohailawehala, a i elua keikihipa o ka makahiki mua, i alana o ua mohaihoomalu.
20 Umphristi kumele azunguze amawundlu lawo womabili kuThixo njengomnikelo wokuzunguzwa kanye lesinkwa sezithelo zakuqala. Zingumnikelo womphristi ongcwele kuThixo.
A e hoali ke kahuna ia mau mea me ka berena o na hua mua i mohai hoali ma ke alo o Iehova, me na keikihipa elua: e laa ia no Iehova na ke kahuna.
21 Ngosuku olufanayo kumele limemezele inkonzo engcwele, lingenzi msebenzi yansuku zonke. Lokhu kuzakuba yisimiso esingapheliyo ezizukulwaneni zenu ezizayo, lalapho elizabe lihlala khona.
E hai aku oukou ia la i'houluulu hoano no oukou: aole oukou e hana i ka hana e luhi ai. He kanawai mau loa iloko o ko oukou mau hale a pau, i ko oukou mau hanauna.
22 Lapho livuna isivuno selizwe lakini, lingavuni lasemaphethelweni amasimu enu, futhi lingabuthi okukhithikayo lapho livuna. Lokhu kutshiyeleni abayanga lezihambi. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.’”
Aia e okioki oukou i ka ai o ko oukou aina, mai oki loa i na kihi o kau mahinaai, i kou oki ana. aole hoi oe e ohi i na haulena o kau ai: e waiho no oe pela na ka poe ilihune, a na ka malihini; owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.
23 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
24 “Tshela abako-Israyeli ukuthi, ‘Ilanga lakuqala lenyanga yesikhombisa lusuku lwesabatha lokuphumula, umbuthano ongcwele wokukhonza ngokutshaya icilongo.
E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, penei, I ka hiku o ka malama, i ka la mua o ka malama, he Sabati ko oukou, he la laa e hookani ai i na pu, he houluulu hoano:
25 Lingenzi msebenzi, kodwa nikelani umnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo.’”
Mai hana i ka hana e luhi ai, aka e kaumaha i ka mohai puhi ia Iehova.
26 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
27 “Usuku lwetshumi lwenyanga yesikhombisa lilanga lokubuyisana. Wobani lenkonzo engcwele lizile ukudla, lilethe umnikelo wokutshiswa ngomlilo kuThixo.
A i ka umi o ka la o ua malama ahiku nei, he la kalahala; he houluulu hoano ia no oukou, a e hookaumaha oukou i ko oukou mau uhane, a e kaumaha i ka mohai puhi ia Iehova.
28 Lingasebenzi ngalelolanga, ngoba lilanga lokuBuyisana, lapho lihlawulelwa kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
Aole hana a oukou e hana'i i ua la la; no ka mea, he la kalahala ia, e hana'i i kalahala no oukou ma ke alo o Iehova ko oukou Akua.
29 Lowo ongaziliyo ngalelolanga makasuswe ebantwini bakibo.
O kela uhane keia uhane i hookaumaha ole ia i ua la la, e okiia'ku ia maiwaena aku o kona poe kanaka.
30 Lowo osebenzayo ngalelolanga ngizambhubhisa phakathi kwabakibo.
A o kela kanaka keia kanaka e hana i ka hana i ua la la, o ia kanaka ka'u e hooki aku ai maiwaena aku o kona poe kanaka.
31 Lulisabatha lenu lokuphumula njalo kumele lizile.
Mai hana iki oukou i ka hana: he kanawai mau loa i ko oukou mau hanauna iloko o ko oukou mau hale a pau.
32 Kusukela kusihlwa ngelanga lesificamunwemunye lwenyanga kuze kube kusihlwa ngelanga elilandelayo ligcine isabatha lenu.”
E lilo ia i Sabati e hoomaha ai, a e hookaumaha oukou i ko oukou mau uhane; i ka iwa o ka la o ka malama, i ke ahiahi, mai ke ahiahi a hiki i ke ahiahi, e malama ai oukou i ko oukou Sabati.
33 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
34 “Tshela abako-Israyeli ukuthi ngelanga letshumi lanhlanu ngenyanga yesikhombisa uMkhosi kaThixo weziHonqo kawuqalise njalo uqhubeke okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
E olelo aku oe i na mamo a Iseraela, penei, I ka la umikumamalima o ua malama ahiku nei, he ahaaipa kauhalelewa i na la ehiku no Iehova.
35 Ilanga lokuqala ngelenkonzo engcwele; lingenzi msebenzi wansuku zonke.
I ka la mua, he houluulu hoano, mai hana oukou i ka hana e luhi ai.
36 Okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lethani iminikelo yokutshiswa kuThixo, kuthi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili libe lenkonzo engcwele lilethe umnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo. Yinkonzo yokuvala; lingenzi msebenzi wansuku zonke.
I na la ehiku e kaumaha ai oukou i ka mohai puhi ia Iehova: i ka walu o ka la he houluulu hoano ia oukou, a e kaumaha oukou i ka mohai puhi ia Iehova, he anaina hoano, aole hoi oukou e hana i ka hana e luhi ai.
37 (Le yimikhosi kaThixo emisiweyo elizayimemezela njengezinkonzo ezingcwele, ezokuletha iminikelo yokutshiswa kuThixo, iminikelo yokutshiswa, leminikelo yamabele, imihlatshelo leminikelo enathwayo efunekayo insuku ngensuku.
Oia na ahaaina a Iehova, a oukou e hai aku ai he mau houluulu hoano, e kaumaha ai i ka mohai puhi ia Iehova, i ka mohaikuni, i ka mohaiai, i ka alana a me na mohaiinu, kela mea keia mea i kona la iho:
38 Iminikelo le ngengaphezu kwaleyo eyamaSabatha kaThixo njalo ngaphezu kwezipho zenu lalokho eliyabe lifungele ukukupha langaphezulu kweminikelo yonke yokuzithandela eliyinika uThixo.)
Okoa na Sabati o Iehova; okoa hoi ko oukou mea haawi; okoa hoi ka oukou mau mea hoohiki a pau; okoa hoi ka oukou mau mohai na ka makemake, a oukou e haawi wale ia Iehova.
39 Ngakho-ke, kusukela ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu enyangeni yesikhombisa, ngemva kokuba selivunile amabele akulelolizwe, wobani lomkhosi wokuthokoza kuThixo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa. Elokuqala lilanga lokuphumula, kanye lelesificaminwembili lalo lilanga lokuphumula.
A i ka la umikumamalima o ka malama ahiku, aia houluulu oukou i ka hua o ka aina, e ahaaina oukou no Iehova i na la ehiku; i ka la mua, he Sabati, a i ka la awalu, he Sabati.
40 Ngelanga lokuqala libokukha izithelo ezinhle zezihlahla, ingatsha zamalala, ingatsha zezihlahla ezilamahlamvu amanengi, lemidubu, lijabule phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lonke okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
E lawe hoi oukou no oukou iho i ka la mua i na lala o na laau maikai, i na lala o na laau pama, a me na lala o na laau momona, a me na wilou o ke kahawai; a e hauoli ae oukou ma ke alo o Iehova ko oukou Akua i na la ehiku.
41 Thakazelelani umkhosi kaThixo lo minyaka yonke okwensuku eziyisikhombisa. Lesi kasibe yisimiso esingapheliyo ezizukulwaneni ezizayo; umkhosi liwenze ngenyanga yesikhombisa.
E malama oukou ia i ahaaina no. Iehova, i na la ehiku o ka makahiki; he kanawai mau loa i ko oukou mau hanauna; i ka hiku o ka malama e ahaaina ai oukou ia.
42 Libohlala ezihonqweni okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
E noho oukou iloko o na halelalalaau i na la ehiku; o na mea a pau i hanau he poe Iseraela, e noho no lakou iloko o ua halelalalaau:
43 Bonke abako-Israyeli ngokuzalwa kumele bahlale ezihonqweni, ukuze izizukulwane zenu zazi ukuthi ngahlalisa abako-Israyeli emadumbeni mhla ngibakhipha eGibhithe. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”
I ike ko oukou mau hanauna, ua hoonoho au i na mamo a Iseraela iloko o na halelalalaan, i ka wa i lawe mai ai au ia lakou mai ka aina mai o Aigupita: owau no Iehova ko oukou Akua.
44 Ngakho uMosi wasebabikela abako-Israyeli ngemikhosi emisiweyo kaThixo.
A hai aku la o Mose i na ahaaina a Iehova i na mamo a Iseraela.
