Amanani 35
1 Ngasemagcekeni aseMowabi kusekele umfula uJodani nganeno malungana leJerikho, uThixo wathi kuMosi,
Esi Israelviwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la to, le Moab gbedzi, le Yeriko kasa la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “Laya abako-Israyeli ukuthi bakhethe elifeni labo amadolobho bawanike abaLevi ukuze bahlale kuwo. Njalo babanike lamadlelo eduze lamadolobho lawo.
“Na Israelviwo natsɔ du tɔxɛ aɖewo kple lãnyiƒe siwo ƒo xlã wo la ana Levi ƒe viwo abe woƒe domenyinu ene.
3 Ngalokho bazakuba lamadolobho okuhlala kanye lamadlelo enkomo zabo, imihlambi yezimvu kanye leyezinye izifuyo zabo zonke.
Woƒe aƒewo anɔ du siawo me, eye anyigba siwo ƒo xlã wo la azu lãnyiƒewo na woƒe nyiwo, alẽwo kple lã bubuawo.
4 Amadlelo azingelezele amadolobho elizawanika abaLevi, azakuba zingalo eziyinkulungwane ukuqhela kwawo kusukela emidulini yamadolobho.
“Mina woƒe lãnyiƒewo nakeke mita alafa ene blaatɔ̃ tso duawo ƒe gliwo gbɔ do ɖe afi sia afi.
5 Ngempumalanga, ngaphandle kwedolobho, kuzakuba zingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili kube njalo laseningizimu izingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili, entshonalanga izingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili, kufane laseceleni lenyakatho izingalo eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili, idolobho liphakathi laphakathi. Le kuzakuba yindawo yabo yamadlelo emadolobheni.”
Ale miadzidze du la ƒe ɣedzeƒe gome wòakeke mita alafa asiekɛ, dziehe gome mita alafa asiekɛ, ɣetoɖoƒe gome mita alafa asiekɛ kple anyiehe gome mita alafa asiekɛ, eye du la nanɔ titina. Esia anye lãnyiƒe na wo anɔ duawo ŋu.
6 “Phakathi kwamadolobho elizawanika abaLevi, ayisithupha azakuba ngawokuphephela, yikho lapho okuzakuthi umuntu angabulala omunye abalekele khona. Phezu kwalawo, bapheni amanye amadolobho angamatshumi amane lamabili.
“Mitsɔ Sitsoƒedu adeawo na Levi ƒe viwo. Ne ame aɖe wu ame le nu maɖowɔ me, eye wòƒu du ge ɖe Sitsoƒedu ade siawo kple du blaene-vɔ-eve bubu me la, anɔ dedie.
7 Wonke esehlangene abaLevi bapheni amadolobho angamatshumi amane lasificaminwembili, kuhlanganisa lamadlelo abo.
Woatsɔ du blaene-vɔ-enyi siawo kple lãnyiƒe siwo ƒo xlã wo la ana Levi ƒe viwo.
8 Amadolobho eliwanika abaLevi elizweni labako-Israyeli kawabiwe ngokuya ngelifa lesizwana ngasinye: Thathani amadolobho amanengi esizwaneni esilamadolobho amanengi, kodwa lithathe amalutshwana kwesilamalutshwana.”
Du siawo anɔ anyigba la ƒe akpa vovovowo. To siwo lolo, eye du geɖewo le wo si la, woana duawo Levi ƒe viwo wòasɔ gbɔ, ke to suewo ana du ʋɛ aɖewo Levi ƒe viwo.”
9 Ngakho uThixo wasesithi kuMosi:
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
10 “Khuluma labako-Israyeli njalo ubatshele uthi: ‘Ekuchapheni kwenu uJodani lingena eKhenani,
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne mietso Yɔdan, eye mieɖo Kanaanyigba dzi la,
11 khethani amanye amadolobho abe ngawokuphephela, lapho okuzakuthi nxa umuntu ebulele omunye ngengozi abalekele khona.
mitia Sitsoƒeduwo da ɖi, ale be ne ame aɖe do hlɔ̃ le nu maɖowɔ me la, wòasi ayi wo dometɔ ɖeka me.
12 Azakuba zindawo zokuphephela ukuzivikela kwabaphindiselayo, ukuze kuthi lowo owetheswa icala lokubulala angafi engakathonisiswa phambi kwebandla.
Du siawo anye xɔnameteƒewo tso ame kuku la ƒe ƒometɔ siwo adi be yewoabia hlɔ̃ la ƒe asi me. Womawu hlɔ̃dola la o va se ɖe esime woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnui, akpɔe be eɖi fɔ.
13 Amadolobho ayisithupha la elibapha wona azakuba ngamadolobho enu okuphephela.
Du ade siawo si miena la anye miaƒe Sitsoƒeduwo.
14 Bapheni amathathu ngakulelicele lomfula uJodani kuthi amathathu abe ngamadolobho okuphephela eKhenani.
Mina du etɔ̃ nanɔ Yɔdan ƒe akpa sia, eye etɔ̃ nanɔ Kanaan abe Sitsoƒeduwo ene.
15 Amadolobho la ayisithupha azakuba yindawo yokuphephela kwabako-Israyeli, labezizweni kanye labo bonke abantu abahlezi phakathi kwabo, ukuze kuthi loba ngubani obulele omunye ngengozi abalekele khona.
Du siawo manye sitsoƒewo na Israelviwo ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ na amedzrowo kple mɔzɔlawo hã.
16 Nxa indoda itshaya umuntu ngento eyinsimbi afe, ingumbulali; umbulali kumele abulawe.
“‘Ke ne ame aɖe axlã gakpo aɖe ɖe nɔvia wòaku la, woatsɔe abe hlɔ̃dodo ene, eye woawu hlɔ̃dola la.
17 Kumbe nxa omunye ephethe ilitshe abesetshaya omunye afe, ungumbulali; umbulali kumele abulawe.
Ne woƒu kpe gã aɖe ame aɖe wòku la, hlɔ̃dodoe; woawu hlɔ̃dola la hã.
18 Njalo nxa omunye ephethe ulutho oluyisigodo abesetshaya omunye afe, ungumbulali; umbulali kumele abulawe.
Nenema kee woawɔ ame si atsɔ nu si wowɔ kple ati la aƒo nɔvia wòaku.
19 Umphindiseli wegazi kumele ambulale umbulali; nxa ehlangana laye, kumele ambulale.
Hlɔ̃biala la nawu hlɔ̃dola la ne edo goe.
20 Loba ngubani olomona ohlezi eqophile engafuqa omunye loba amjikijele ngolutho oluthile ngabomo kubangele ukufa kwakhe
Ale ne ame aɖe le fuléle ta, wòtsɔ nane ƒu nɔvia alo tso mɔ nɛ,
21 loba kuthi ngolaka amtshaye ngenqindi afe, lowomuntu kumele abulawe; ungumbulali. Umphindiseli wegazi kumele abulale umbulali nxa ehlangana laye.
alo tu kɔe kple dɔmedzoe wòku la, edo hlɔ̃. Hlɔ̃biala nawu hlɔ̃dola la.
22 Kodwa nxa kungayisikho ngolaka, umuntu aqabuke esefuqe omunye loba amjikijele ngolutho engaqondile
“‘Gake ne fuléle mele amea me o, ko kasia wòlɔ ame aɖe ƒu anyi alo da nane tamemaɖomaɖotɔe wòdze ame aɖe,
23 loba engamboni, amgxobe ngelitshe elingambulala, afe, ngakho njengoba engasisositha sakhe njalo engaqondanga ukumlimaza,
alo ne mekpɔe o, eye wòƒu kpe si ate ŋu awui, eye wòku la, ekema zi ale si menye futɔ na amea o, eye meɖo be yeawɔ nuvevie o hafi ta la,
24 ibandla kumele lahlulele phakathi kwakhe lomphindiseli wegazi kulandelwa lezi zimiso.
woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnui, akpɔ be nyadzɔɖeamedzi koe loo alo ɖe yewoaɖe asi le hlɔ̃dola la ŋu na ame kuku la ƒe hlɔ̃biala mahã.
25 Ibandla kumele livikele owetheswa icala lokubulala kumphindiseli wegazi njalo abuyiselwe edolobheni lokuphephela azabe ebalekele kulo. Kumele ahlale khonale kuze kufe umphristi omkhulu, owagcotshwa ngamafutha angcwele.
Ne wotso nya me be nyadzɔɖeamedzi koe la, ekema ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo axɔ na hlɔ̃dola la tso hlɔ̃biala la ƒe asi me. Woaɖe mɔ na hlɔ̃dola la wòanɔ Sitsoƒedu la me, eye wòanɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime nunɔlagã la naku.
26 Kodwa lowo owetheswa icala angaba ngaphandle kwedolobho lokuphephela lelo ayabe ebalekele kulo
“‘Ne hlɔ̃dola la do go le sitsoƒedu la me,
27 kuthi umphindiseli wegazi amfumane ngaphandle kwalelodolobho, umphindiseli wegazi angambulala lowo owetheswe icala kodwa angabi lacala lokubulala.
eye hlɔ̃biala la kpɔe le du la godo hewui la, ekema hlɔ̃biala la medo hlɔ̃ o,
28 Owetheswe icala kumele ahlale edolobheni lakhe lokuphephela kuze kufe umphristi omkhulu; uzaze abuyele emzini wakhe kuphela nxa umphristi omkhulu esefile.
elabena ɖe wòle be hlɔ̃dola la nanɔ sitsoƒedu la me va se ɖe esime nunɔlagã la naku hafi. Ke le nunɔlagã la ƒe ku megbe la, hlɔ̃dola la ate ŋu atrɔ ayi wo de.
29 Le kumele kube yimithetho yesimiso kini lakuzizukulwane ezizayo, loba kungaphi lapho elizahlala khona.
“‘Esiawoe nye se siwo dzi Israelviwo katã nawɔ tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
30 Loba ngubani obulala umuntu kumele abulawe njengombulali ngobufakazi balabo abayabe bebonile kuphela. Kodwa akungabikho loyedwa ozabulawa ngobufakazi bofakazi oyedwa.
“‘Ele be woawu hlɔ̃dolawo katã, gake ele be ɖasefowo nasɔ gbɔ wu ɖeka. Womawu hlɔ̃dola aɖeke si ŋu ɖasefo ɖeka pɛ ko ɖi ɖase le o.
31 Lingemukeli inhlawulo yokuhlenga impilo yombulali, yena kumele afe, loba kutheni kabulawe.
“‘Ne wodrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ame aɖe, tso nya me be ewu ame la, ekema ele be woawui kokoko. Womaxe alo axɔ naneke ɖe eƒe agbe ta o.
32 Lingemukeli inhlawulo yokuhlenga loba ngubani obalekele edolobheni lokuphephela libe selimvumela ukuba abuyele ukuyahlala emzini wakhe umphristi omkhulu engakafi.
“‘Nenema ke womaxɔ naneke le hlɔ̃dola si yi sitsoƒedu aɖe me la si, aɖe mɔ nɛ be wòatrɔ ayi wo de hafi nunɔlagã la naku o.
33 Lingalingcolisi ilizwe lelo elihlala kulo. Ukuchitha igazi kungcolisa ilizwe, njalo indlela yokubuyisana ingeke yenzelwe lapho okuchithwe khona igazi, ngaphandle kwegazi lalowo olichithileyo.
“‘Ale womagblẽ kɔ ɖo na anyigba la o, elabena hlɔ̃dodo gblẽa kɔ ɖo na anyigba la. Gawu la, nu si woate ŋu atsɔ alé avu ɖe hlɔ̃dodo ta koe nye hlɔ̃dola la wuwu.
34 Lingalingcolisi ilizwe elihlezi kilo kanye lalapho engihlala khona, ngoba Mina, Thixo, ngihlala phakathi kwabako-Israyeli.’”
Migado ŋunyɔ anyigba si dzi nɔ ge miala la o, elabena nye, Yehowa, mele afi ma nɔ ge.’”
