ULevi 15
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me and Aaron,
2 Tshonini ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli lithi kubo: Ileyo laleyondoda, nxa kulokugobhoza okuphuma enyameni yayo, ngokugobhoza kwayo ingcolile.
“Tell this to the Israelis: When an infected discharge comes out of a man’s sexual organs [EUP], that fluid should not be touched.
3 Lalokhu kuzakuba yikungcola kwayo ngenxa yokugobhoza kwayo. Loba inyama yayo iyagobhoza ngokugobhoza kwayo loba inyama yayo isimile ekugobhozeni kwayo, kuyikungcola kwayo.
Whether that fluid is blocked or continues to drip, it causes him to be someone who should not be touched.
4 Wonke umbheda alala kuwo olokugobhoza uzangcola; layo yonke into ahlala kuyo izangcola.
“And any bed that such a man lies on should not be touched, and anything that he sits on should not be touched.
5 Njalo loba ngubani othinta umbheda wakhe uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
Anyone who touches that person’s bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
6 Lohlala entweni ahlale kuyo olokugobhoza uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
Anyone who sits on something that man has sat on must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
7 Lothinta inyama yalowo olokugobhoza uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
“Anyone who touches such a man must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
8 Uba-ke olokugobhoza ekhafulela ngamathe ohlambulukileyo, uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
“If such a man spits on someone else, that person who is spit upon should not be touched. He must wash his clothes, and no one should touch him until that evening.
9 Laso sonke isihlalo senyamazana agada kuso olokugobhoza sizangcola.
“Everything that a man who has such a discharge of fluid sits on while he is riding [a horse or a donkey] should not be touched,
10 Laloba ngubani othinta loba yini ebingaphansi kwakhe uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe; loyithwalayo uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
and anyone who touches the seat or saddle that he was sitting on also should not be touched until that evening. And anyone who picks up the seat or saddle must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
11 Laloba ngubani olokugobhoza amthintayo engahlambululanga izandla zakhe ngamanzi, uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
Anyone whom the man with such a discharge of fluid from his body touches without first rinsing his hands in water must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
12 Lembiza yebumba olokugobhoza ayithintayo izabulawa, laso sonke isitsha sesigodo sizahlanjululwa ngamanzi.
“If such a man touches a clay pot, that pot must be broken into pieces. Anything made from wood that he touches must be rinsed in water.
13 Lapho-ke olokugobhoza esehlanjululwe ekugobhozeni kwakhe, uzazibalela insuku eziyisikhombisa zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, awatshe izembatho zakhe, ageze umzimba wakhe ngamanzi agobhozayo, ahlambuluke.
“If such a man is healed from his flow of fluid, he must wait for seven days. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe in water from a spring. Then he will be able to be with others.
14 Njalo ngosuku lwesificaminwembili uzazithathela amajuba amabili loba amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba, eze phambi kweNkosi emnyango wethente lenhlangano, akunike umpristi.
On the eighth/next day, he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come in front of Yahweh at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and give them to the priest.
15 Umpristi uzanikela-ke elinye libe ngumnikelo wesono lelinye libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa; ngalokho umpristi uzamenzela inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi ngenxa yokugobhoza kwakhe.
The priest will sacrifice them. One will be an offering for the man to become acceptable to God, and the other one will be completely burned [on the altar]. As a result of the priest doing that, the man will be forgiven for having sinned.
16 Indoda, nxa kuphuma-ke kuyo ubudoda bokuhlangana, izageza umzimba wayo wonke ngamanzi, ibe ngengcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
“Then semen accidentally flows from a man’s sexual organs [EUP], he must bathe his whole body, and no one should touch him until that evening.
17 Njalo sonke isembatho laso sonke isikhumba obukuso ubudoda bokuhlangana sizawatshwa ngamanzi, sibe ngesingcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed, and no one should touch it until that evening.
18 Futhi owesifazana indoda elele laye ngobudoda bokuhlangana, bobabili bazageza ngamanzi, babe ngabangcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
When a man has sex with a woman and some semen spills, both of them must bathe, and no one should touch them until that evening.
19 Njalo owesifazana, nxa kulokugobhoza, ukugobhoza kwakhe enyameni yakhe kuligazi, uzakuba sekwehlukanisweni kwakhe insuku eziyisikhombisa; njalo loba ngubani omthintayo uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
“Then a woman has her monthly menstrual period, no one should touch her for seven days. If anyone touches her [during that time], no one should touch the person who touched her until that evening.
20 Lakho konke alala kukho ekwehlukanisweni kwakhe kuzangcola; lakho konke ahlala kukho kuzangcola.
No one should touch anything that she lies on or sits on during that time.
21 Njalo loba ngubani othinta umbheda wakhe uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
22 Njalo loba ngubani othinta loba yiyiphi into ahlale kuyo uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
Anyone who touches something that she has been sitting on, a bed or anything else, must wash his clothes, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
23 Loba-ke ibisembhedeni loba entweni ahlala kuyo, uba eyithinta, uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
24 Njalo nxa indoda ilala lokulala laye, ukwehlukaniswa kwakhe kuzakuba kiyo; isizakuba ngengcolileyo insuku eziyisikhombisa, lawo wonke umbheda elala kuwo uzangcola.
“If a man has sex with a woman [during that time] and some of the menstrual blood touches him, no one should touch him for seven days, and no one should touch the bed that he lies on.
25 Njalo owesifazana, uba ukugobhoza kwegazi kugobhoza insuku ezinengi, kungeyisiso isikhathi sokwehlukaniswa kwakhe, kumbe uba kugobhoza okwedlula isikhathi sokwehlukaniswa kwakhe, zonke izinsuku zokugobhoza kokungcola kwakhe, uzakuba njengensuku zokwehlukaniswa kwakhe, abe ngongcolileyo.
“Then a woman has a vaginal discharge of blood for (many days/a long time), which is not her monthly flow of blood, or if her flow of blood continues after her monthly flow ends, no one should touch her until it stops.
26 Wonke umbheda alala kuwo zonke izinsuku zokugobhoza kwakhe uzakuba kuye njengombheda wokwehlukaniswa kwakhe; njalo loba yiyiphi into ahlala kuyo izangcola, njengokungcola kokwehlukaniswa kwakhe.
And no one should touch the bed that she lies on or anything that she sits on while that flow of blood continues, just like during her monthly menstrual period.
27 Njalo loba ngubani othinta lezozinto uzakuba ngongcolileyo, awatshe izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe.
Anyone who touches those things should not touch anyone else; he must wash his clothes and bathe, and he should not touch anyone else until that evening.
28 Kodwa uba esehlanjululwe ekugobhozeni kwakhe, uzazibalela insuku eziyisikhombisa, lemva kwalokho uzahlambuluka.
“After a woman’s monthly menstrual flow ends, she must wait seven days before she touches anyone.
29 Langosuku lwesificaminwembili uzazithathela amajuba amabili loba amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba, akulethe kumpristi emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
On the eighth/next day, she must take two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
30 Umpristi uzanikela-ke elinye libe ngumnikelo wesono lelinye libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa. Ngalokho umpristi uzamenzela inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi ngenxa yokugobhoza kokungcola kwakhe.
The priest will sacrifice one of them to be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again, and completely burn the other one [on the altar]. By doing that he will cause me, Yahweh, to forgive her for having sinned [DOU].
31 Ngalindlela lizakwehlukanisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli lokungcola kwabo, ukuze bangafeli ekungcoleni kwabo, lapho bengcolisa ithabhanekele lami eliphakathi kwabo.
“You must warn the Israeli people not to do things that (defile them/cause them to be unacceptable to me). If they become (unacceptable to me/defiled), they will cause my Sacred Tent which is among them to become an unacceptable place to worship me, and as a result they will die.”
32 Lo ngumlayo walowo olokugobhoza, lowalowo okuphuma kuye ubudoda bokuhlangana, aze angcole ngakho,
“Those are the regulations for a man who has a fluid that flows from his sexual organs or who should not be touched because some of his semen spills out while having sex [with a woman],
33 futhi lowesifazana ogulayo ekwehlukanisweni kwakhe, lalowo ogobhoza ngokugobhoza kwakhe, owesilisa lowesifazana, langendoda elala lowesifazana ongcolileyo.
and for any woman during her monthly menstrual period, and for any man who has sex with a woman during her menstrual period.”
