ULevi 24
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Laya abantu bako-Israyeli bakulethele amafutha acengekileyo, ahluzwe ema-oliveni, abe ngawokukhanyisa ukuze izibane zihlale zikhanyisa kokuphela.
'Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
3 Ngaphandle kwekhetheni eligudle umtshokotsho wobufakazi, phakathi kwethente lokuhlangana u-Aroni kumele alinde izibane phambi kukaThixo izikhathi zonke nxa kusihlwa kuze kube sekuseni. Lokhu kuzakuba yisimiso saphakade lakuzizukulwane ezizayo.
at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually — a statute age-during to your generations;
4 Izibane ezisoluthini lwegolide elicolekileyo phambi kukaThixo kumele zilindwe izikhathi zonke.
by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
5 Thatha ifulawa ecolekileyo wenze izinkwa ezilitshumi lambili usebenzisa okubili kwetshumi kwehefa isinkwa ngasinye.
'And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
6 Zibeke emizileni emibili, ziyisithupha emzileni munye, phezu kwetafula yegolide elicolekileyo phambi kukaThixo.
and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
7 Emzileni ngamunye faka impepha enhle njengengxenye yesikhumbuzo esimela isinkwa njalo kube ngumhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
8 Isinkwa lesi kumele sibekwe phambi kukaThixo izikhathi zonke, amaSabatha wonke, kusenzelwa abako-Israyeli, kube yisivumelwano esingayikuphela.
'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;
9 Sizakuba ngesika-Aroni lamadodana akhe, abazasidlela endaweni engcwele ngoba siyingxenye engcwele kakhulu yesabelo sabo esifaneleyo somhlatshelo onikelwa kuThixo.”
and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah — a statute age-during.'
10 Kwasekusiba lendodana yomfazi wako-Israyeli, uyise wayengumGibhithe, yasuka yaya ebantwini bako-Israyeli, yasixabana lomuntu wako-Israyeli ezihonqweni.
And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,
11 Indodana yomfazi wako-Israyeli leyo yahlambaza ibizo likaThixo ngesithuko. Ngakho bayiletha kuMosi. (Ibizo likanina lalinguShelomithi, indodakazi kaDibhiri, owesizwe sikaDani.)
and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
12 Bayifaka entolongweni ukuba intando kaThixo ize yazakale kuhle kubo.
and he causeth him to rest in charge — to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
13 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
14 “Umuntu lowo owathukayo mkhupheleni ngaphandle kwezihonqo. Bonke labo abamuzwayo babeke izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda lakhe, ibandla lonke limgongode ngamatshe.
'Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.
15 Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Loba ngubani othuka uNkulunkulu wakhe, uzakuba lecala.
'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God — then he hath borne his sin;
16 Loba ngubani othuka ibizo likaThixo uzabulawa. Ibandla lonke kumele limgongode ngamatshe. Loba kungowezizweni kumbe oyinzalo yelizwe lakini angahlambaza ibizo likaThixo kumele abulawe.
and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
17 Obulala umuntu kumele abulawe.
'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18 Obulala isifuyo somunye kumele ahlawule, kube okuphilayo ngokuphilayo.
'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
19 Olimaza umakhelwane wakhe, loba ngayiphi indlela, kumele kwenziwe lakuye,
'And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;
20 kube yikwephuka ngokwephuka, ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo. Njengoba elimaze omunye, ngokunjalo laye kumele alinyazwe.
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
21 Obulala inyamazana kumele ayihlawule, kodwa obulala umuntu kumele abulawe.
'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death;
22 Lizakuba lomlayo munye kowezizweni lowakini. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.’”
one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah your God.'
23 Emva kwalokho uMosi wakhuluma kwabako-Israyeli, basebethatha umuntu lowo owayehlambaze uThixo, bamusa ngaphandle kwezihonqo, bamgongoda ngamatshe. Abako-Israyeli benza njengokulaywa kwabo nguThixo.
And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
