ULevi 17
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 Tshono kuAroni lakumadodana akhe, lebantwaneni bonke bakoIsrayeli, uthi kubo: Leli yilizwi iNkosi elaye ngalo isithi:
“Arĩria Harũni, na ariũ ake na andũ othe a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova aathanĩte:
3 Loba ngubani wendlu kaIsrayeli ohlaba inkabi loba imvu loba imbuzi enkambeni, kumbe ekuhlabela ngaphandle kwenkamba,
Mũndũ o wothe Mũisiraeli ũrĩĩrutaga igongona rĩa ndegwa, kana rĩa gatũrũme, kana rĩa mbũri thĩinĩ wa kambĩ kana nja ya kambĩ,
4 engakulethanga emnyango wethente lenhlangano ukunikela umnikelo eNkosini phambi kwethabhanekele leNkosi, igazi lizabalelwa lowomuntu, uchithile igazi; ngakho lowomuntu uzaqunywa asuke ebantwini bakibo.
handũ ha kũrĩrehe itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, arĩrute rĩrĩ igongona rĩa kũrutĩrwo Jehova hau mbere ya Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio nĩagatuuo arĩ na mahĩtia ma gũita thakame; mũndũ ũcio nĩaitĩte thakame, na no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
5 Ukuze, lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli beletha imihlatshelo yabo, abayihlabela endle, bayilethe eNkosini emnyango wethente lenhlangano, kumpristi, bayihlabe ibe yimihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula eNkosini.
Ũndũ ũyũ nĩwagũtũma andũ a Isiraeli matwaragĩre Jehova magongona marĩa rĩu mararutĩrwo werũ-inĩ. No nginya mamarehagĩre mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũguo nĩ kuuga kũrĩ Jehova, hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, marutwo marĩ maruta ma ũiguano.
6 Njalo umpristi uzafafaza igazi phezu kwelathi leNkosi emnyango wethente lenhlangano, atshise amahwahwa, abe luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩakaminjaminja thakame kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Jehova hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na acine maguta marĩ mũtararĩko mwega wa gũkenia Jehova.
7 Njalo kabasayikuhlabela amadimoni imihlatshelo yabo, ababephinga ngokuwalandela. Lokhu kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade kubo ezizukulwaneni zabo.
Matikanacooke o na rĩ kũruta magongona mao o na marĩkũ kũrĩ mĩhianano ya mbũri ĩrĩa mahũũraga ũmaraya nayo. Ũyũ nĩ watho mwandĩke wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo hĩndĩ ciothe kũrĩ o, na kũrĩ njiarwa iria igooka.’
8 Tshono-ke kubo uthi: Ngulowo lalowo wendlu kaIsrayeli, lakowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo, onikela umnikelo wokutshiswa loba umhlatshelo,
“Meere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũisiraeli o wothe, kana mũgeni o na ũrĩkũ ũtũũranagia nao, ũkaaruta iruta rĩa njino, kana arute igongona,
9 angawulethi emnyango wethente lenhlangano ukuze awenzele iNkosi, lowomuntu uzaqunywa asuke ebantwini bakibo.
na ndarĩtware hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo arĩrutĩre Jehova-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
10 Njalo ngulowo lalowo wendlu kaIsrayeli, lakowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo, odla loba yiliphi igazi, ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lomphefumulo odla igazi, ngiwuqume usuke phakathi kwabantu bawo.
“‘Mũisiraeli wothe kana mũgeni o wothe ũtũũranagia nao ũkaarĩa thakame o yothe, nĩngahũgũkĩra mũndũ ũcio ũrĩĩte thakame, na nĩngamũingata kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.
11 Ngoba impilo yenyama isegazini; mina-ke ngilinike lona phezu kwelathi ukwenzela imiphefumulo yenu inhlawulo yokuthula; ngoba kuligazi elenzela umphefumulo inhlawulo yokuthula.
Nĩgũkorwo muoyo wa kĩũmbe ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa thakame, na nĩyo ndĩmũheete mwĩhorohagĩrie nayo kĩgongona-inĩ; thakame nĩyo ĩhorohagĩria muoyo wa mũndũ.
12 Ngakho ngathi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli: Kakungabi lamphefumulo kini odla igazi; lowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwenu kangadli igazi.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngwĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe thĩinĩ wanyu wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrĩa thakame, o na mũgeni ũrĩa ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ ndakanarĩe thakame.”
13 Njalo ngulowo lalowo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, lakowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo, ozingela inyama yenyamazana kumbe inyoni edliwayo, uzathulula igazi layo, aligqibele ngenhlabathi.
“‘Mũisiraeli o wothe, kana mũgeni o wothe ũtũũranagia na inyuĩ, ũkaaguĩma nyamũ kana nyoni o yothe ĩngĩrĩĩo, no nginya agaita thakame yayo thĩ, acooke amĩthike na tĩĩri,
14 Ngoba kuyimpilo yenyama yonke; igazi layo lisempilweni yayo; yikho ngathi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli: Lingadli igazi loba ngelayiphi inyama, ngoba impilo yayo yonke inyama kuligazi layo; loba ngubani olidlayo uzaqunywa.
tondũ muoyo wa kĩũmbe gĩothe nĩ thakame yakĩo. Nĩkĩo njĩrĩĩte andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanarĩe thakame ya kĩũmbe o gĩothe, tondũ muoyo wa kĩũmbe nĩ thakame yakĩo; mũndũ o wothe ũngĩmĩrĩa no nginya aingatwo.”
15 Futhi wonke umphefumulo odla ingcuba kumbe inyamazana edatshuliweyo phakathi kwabokuzalwa elizweni kumbe phakathi kwabemzini, uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe; emva kwalokho uzahlambuluka.
“‘Mũndũ o wothe, arĩ wa gũciarĩrwo bũrũri wanyu kana arĩ mũgeni, angĩkaarĩa nyamũ ĩkuĩte kana ĩtambuurangĩtwo nĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka-rĩ, no nginya agaathambia nguo ciake na ethambe na maaĩ, na atiinde na thaahu nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ; thuutha ũcio nĩagathirwo nĩ thaahu.
16 Kodwa uba engaziwatshi, engagezi umzimba wakhe, uzathwala ububi bakhe.
No angĩkaaga gũthambia nguo ciake na aage gwĩthamba-rĩ, nĩagacookererwo nĩ ũũru ũcio wake.’”
