U-Eksodusi 23
1 Ungawuphathi umbiko wamanga, ungafaki isandla sakho lomubi ukuze ube ngumfakazi wobubi.
Not you must bear a report of falsehood may not you put hand your with a wicked [person] to be a witness of injustice.
2 Ungalandeli abanengi ngezinto ezimbi, ungafakazi ecaleni ukuze weyamele kwabanengi uliphambule.
Not you must be after many [people] to wicked deeds and not you must testify on a case at law by turning aside after many [people] to thrust aside.
3 Lomyanga ungamzweli ecaleni lakhe.
And a poor [person] not you must show partiality in case at law his.
4 Uba uhlangana lenkabi yesitha sakho loba ubabhemi waso kuduha, uzakubuyisela lokukubuyisela kuso.
If you will meet [the] ox of enemy your or donkey his wandering off certainly you will return it to him.
5 Uba ubona ubabhemi walowo okuzondayo elele ngaphansi komthwalo wakhe, uyekele ukumkhulula, uzamkhulula lokumkhulula laye.
If you will see [the] donkey of [one who] hates you lying down under load its and you will refrain from leaving it certainly you will let [it] loose with him.
6 Kawuyikuphambula ukwahlulelwa komyanga wakho ecaleni lakhe.
Not you must turn aside [the] justice of needy [person] your in case at law his.
7 Bana khatshana lendaba yamanga, ungabulali ongelacala lolungileyo, ngoba kangiyikumlungisisa okhohlakeleyo.
From a word of falsehood you will be distant and an innocent [person] and a righteous [person] may not you kill for not I will declare righteous a wicked [person].
8 Njalo kawuyikwemukela isivalamlomo, ngoba isivalamlomo siphumputhekisa ababonayo, sonakalise amazwi abalungileyo.
And a bribe not you must take for bribe it makes blind clear-sighted [people] so it may pervert [the] words of righteous [people].
9 Futhi kawuyikumcindezela owezizwe; ngoba lina liyayazi imizwa yowezizwe, ngoba lalingabezizwe elizweni leGibhithe.
And a sojourner not you must oppress and you you have known [the] life of the sojourner for sojourners you were in [the] land of Egypt.
10 Njalo iminyaka eyisithupha uzahlanyela isiqinti sakho, ubuthe isivuno saso.
And six years you will sow land your and you will gather produce its.
11 Kodwa ngowesikhombisa uzasilalukisa sibe lifusi, ukuze abayanga besizwe sakho badle, lalokho okuseleyo inyamazana zeganga zikudle. Wenze njalo ngesivini sakho lemihlwathi yakho.
And the seventh [year] you will let rest it and you will leave fallow it and they will eat [the] needy [people] of people your and excess their it will eat [the] animal[s] of the field thus you will do to vineyard your to olive grove your.
12 Insuku eziyisithupha uzakwenza umsebenzi wakho, njalo ngosuku lwesikhombisa uphumule, ukuze kuphumule inkabi yakho labobabhemi bakho, kuvuselele-ke indodana yencekukazi yakho lowezizweni.
Six days you will do work your and on the day seventh you will rest so that it may rest ox your and donkey your so he may refresh himself [the] child of female slave your and the sojourner.
13 Lezintweni zonke esengizitshilo kini qaphelani, lebizo labanye onkulunkulu lingaliphathi, kaliyikuzwakala emlonyeni wakho.
And to all that I have said to you you will take heed and [the] name of gods other not you will bring to remembrance not it will be heard on mouth your.
14 Kathathu ngomnyaka uzangigcinela umkhosi.
Three feet you will celebrate a festival to me in the year.
15 Umkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo uzawugcina, insuku eziyisikhombisa udle isinkwa esingelamvubelo njengokukulaya kwami, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo senyanga kaAbhibhi; ngoba kuyo waphuma eGibhithe; kabayikubonakala phambi kwami bengaphethe lutho.
[the] festival of The unleavened bread you will keep seven days you will eat unleavened bread just as I commanded you to [the] appointed time of [the] month of Abib for in it you came out from Egypt and not they will present themselves face my empty.
16 Lomkhosi wesivuno, izithelo zokuqala zomsebenzi wakho, owuhlanyeleyo ensimini; lomkhosi wokubutha ekupheleni komnyaka, lapho usubuthile umsebenzi wakho ensimini.
And [the] festival of the harvest [the] first-fruits of work your which you will sow in the field and [the] festival of the ingathering when goes out the year when gathering you work your from the field.
17 Kathathu ngomnyaka bonke abesilisa bakho bazabonakala phambi kweNkosi uJehova.
Three times in the year he will present himself every male your to [the] presence of the lord - Yahweh.
18 Kawuyikunikela igazi lomhlatshelo wami kanye lesinkwa esilemvubelo. Lamafutha omkhosi wami angalali kuze kuse.
Not you must sacrifice with leaven [the] blood of sacrifice my and not it will remain overnight [the] fat of festival sacrifice my until morning.
19 Ikhethelo lezithelo zokuqala zensimu yakho uzaliletha endlini yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho. Ungapheki izinyane echagweni lukanina.
[the] beginning of [the] first-fruits of Ground your you will bring [the] house of Yahweh God your not you must boil a kid in [the] milk of mother its.
20 Khangela, ngithuma ingilosi phambi kwakho ukuze ikulondoloze endleleni, ikuse endaweni engiyilungisileyo.
Here! I [am] about to send an angel before you to guard you on the journey and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 Uqaphele phambi kwayo, ulalele ilizwi layo; ungayicunuli, ngoba kayiyikuthethelela iziphambeko zenu; ngoba ibizo lami liphakathi kwayo.
Take care from before him and listen to voice his may not you cause bitterness in him for not he will forgive to transgression your for name my [is] within him.
22 Kodwa uba ulalela lokulalela ilizwi layo, wenze konke engikutshoyo, sengizakuba yisitha sezitha zakho, ngiphambane labaphambana lawe.
That except carefully you will listen to voice his and you will do all that I will say and I will be an enemy to enemies your and I will be a foe to opposers your.
23 Ngoba ingilosi yami izahamba phambi kwakho, ikungenise kumaAmori lamaHethi lamaPerizi lamaKhanani lamaHivi lamaJebusi. Njalo ngizababhubhisa.
For he will go angel my before you and he will bring you to the Amorite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Canaanite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and I will annihilate it.
24 Ungakhothameli onkulunkulu babo, ungabakhonzi, ungenzi njengemisebenzi yabo; kodwa ubachithe lokubachitha, ubhidlize lokubhidliza izinsika zabo eziyizithombe.
Not you must bow down to gods their and not you must be enticed to serve them and not you must make like works their for completely you will tear down them and totally you will shatter into pieces sacred pillars their.
25 Lizakhonza-ke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu; njalo izabusisa ukudla kwakho lamanzi akho, njalo ngisuse isifo phakathi kwakho.
And you will serve Yahweh God your and he will bless food your and water your and I will remove sickness from midst your.
26 Kakuyikuba khona okuphunzayo lokuyinyumba elizweni lakho. Ngizaphelelisa inani lensuku zakho.
Not anyone will be miscarrying and barren in land your [the] number of days your I will complete.
27 Ngizathumela ukwesabeka kwami phambi kwakho, ngiphambanise bonke abantu ozafika kubo, ngenze izitha zakho zonke zikunike isiphundu.
Terror my I will send before you and I will confuse every people which you will go among them and I will give all enemies your to you neck.
28 Ngizathumela olonyovu phambi kwakho abazaxotsha amaHivi, amaKhanani lamaHethi phambi kwakho.
And I will send the hornet before you and it will drive out the Hivite[s] the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] from to before you.
29 Kangiyikubaxotsha phambi kwakho ngomnyaka owodwa, hlezi ilizwe libe ngamanxiwa, lenyamazana zeganga zikwandele.
Not I will drive out it from before you in a year one lest it should become the land a waste and it will become many on you [the] animal[s] of the field.
30 Ngizabaxotsha phambi kwakho kancinyane kancinyane, uze wande, udle ilifa lelizwe.
Little little I will drive out it from before you until that you will be fruitful and you will possess the land.
31 Njalo ngizamisa imingcele yakho kusukela eLwandle oluBomvu kuze kufike elwandle lwamaFilisti, njalo kusukela enkangala kuze kufike emfuleni; ngoba ngizanikela esandleni sakho abakhileyo belizwe; uzabaxotsha phambi kwakho.
And I will fix border your from [the] sea of reed[s] and to [the] sea of [the] Philistines and from [the] wilderness to the River for - I will give in hand your [the] inhabitants of the land and you will drive out them from before you.
32 Ungenzi isivumelwano labo labonkulunkulu babo.
Not you must make to them and to gods their a covenant.
33 Kabayikuhlala elizweni lakho, hlezi bakwenze ukuthi wone kimi; uba ukhonza onkulunkulu babo, ngeqiniso kuzakuba yisifu kuwe.
Not they will dwell in land your lest they should cause to sin you to me for you will serve gods their for it will become for you a snare.
