ULevi 12
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Tshono ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Uba owesifazana ekhululeka, abelethe owesilisa, uzakuba ngongcolileyo insuku eziyisikhombisa, njengensuku zokwehlukaniswa kwakhe esemfuleni uzakuba ngongcolileyo.
“Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli ũũ: ‘Mũndũ-wa-nja angĩgĩa nda aciare kahĩĩ, nĩagaikara arĩ na thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja o ta ũrĩa aikaraga arĩ na thaahu ihinda rĩake rĩa mweri.
3 Langosuku lwesificaminwembili inyama yejwabu lakhe laphambili izasokwa.
Na mũthenya wa kanana wakinya, kahĩĩ kau nĩgakaaruithio.
4 Khona ezahlala okwensuku ezingamatshumi amathathu lantathu egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, angathinti lutho olungcwele, angangeni endlini engcwele, zize ziphelele insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio no nginya eterere mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtatũ nĩguo atherio thaahu wa kuura thakame. Ndakanahutie kĩndũ kĩamũre kana atoonye handũ-harĩa-haamũre o nginya matukũ ma gũtherio gwake mathire.
5 Kodwa angabeletha owesifazana, uzakuba ngongcolileyo amaviki amabili, njengokwehlukaniswa kwakhe; uzahlala insuku ezingamatshumi ayisithupha lesithupha egazini lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
No angĩciara mwana wa kairĩtu, agaaikara arĩ na thaahu ciumia igĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa aikaraga arĩ na thaahu ihinda rĩake rĩa mweri. Ningĩ no nginya eterere mĩthenya mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩtandatũ nĩguo atherio thaahu wa kuura thakame.
6 Lapho sezigcwalisekile insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, ngendodana loba ngendodakazi, uzaletha iwundlu elilomnyaka owodwa, libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, lephuphu lenkwilimba kumbe ijuba kube ngumnikelo wesono, emnyango wethente lenhlangano, kumpristi,
“‘Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matukũ make ma gũtherio, marĩ ma kahĩĩ kana ma kairĩtu, makahinga-rĩ, nĩakarehera mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai gatũrũme ka mwaka ũmwe hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, karĩ iruta rĩa njino, na atware gatutura kana ndirahũgĩ ya iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia.
7 ozakunikela eNkosini, amenzele inhlawulo yokuthula; khona ezahlambuluka ekopheni kwegazi lakhe. Lo ngumlayo walowo obeletha owesilisa loba owesifazana.
Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩagacirutĩra hau mbere ya Jehova nĩguo amũhoroherie, nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio nĩagathirwo nĩ thaahu wa kuuma gwa thakame. “‘Macio nĩmo mawatho ma mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa ũciarĩte kahĩĩ kana kairĩtu.
8 Kodwa uba isandla sakhe singatholi okwanela imvu, uzathatha amajuba amabili loba amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba, okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa lokunye kube ngumnikelo wesono, lompristi amenzele inhlawulo yokuthula, aze ahlambuluke.
Angĩkorwo ndangĩhota kũruta gatũrũme, nĩakaruta ndirahũgĩ igĩrĩ kana tũtutuura twĩrĩ, kamwe ka iruta rĩa njino na karĩa kangĩ ka iruta rĩa kũhoroherio mehia. Ũguo nĩguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akaamũhoroheria, nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio nĩagathera.’”
