< ULevi 5 >

1 Umphefumulo, uba usona-ke usuzwe ilizwi lesifungo, njalo ube ngumfakazi, kumbe ukubonile loba ukwazi, uba ungakukhulumi, uzathwala ububi bawo.
If anyone sins because he does not testify when he has witnessed something about which he is required to testify, whether he has seen it or heard about it, he will be responsible.
2 Loba uba umphefumulo uthinta loba yiyiphi into engcolileyo, loba iyisidumbu senyamazana engcolileyo, loba isidumbu sesifuyo esingcolileyo, kumbe isidumbu salokho okuhuquzelayo okungcolileyo, lanxa kufihliwe kuye, kube kanti ungcolile ulecala.
Or if anyone touches anything God has designated as unclean, whether it be the carcass of an unclean wild animal or the carcass of any livestock that has died, or creeping animal, even if the person did not intend to touch it, he is unclean and guilty.
3 Loba uba uthinta ukungcola komuntu, loba kuyini ukungcola kwakhe angcola ngakho, njalo kufihliwe kuwo, lapho usukwazi uzakuba lecala.
Or if he touches the uncleanness of someone, whatever that uncleanness is, and if he is unaware of it, then he will be guilty when he learns about it.
4 Loba uba umphefumulo ufunga, ukhuluma ngamawala ngendebe zawo ukwenza okubi loba ukwenza okuhle, loba kuyini umuntu angakhuluma ngakho ngamawala ngesifungo, njalo kufihliwe kuwo, lapho usukwazi uzakuba lecala kokunye kwalokho.
Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man swears rashly with an oath, even if he is unaware of it, when he learns about it, then he will be guilty, in any of these things.
5 Kuzakuthi-ke nxa ulecala kwenye yalezizinto, uvume ngalokho okonileyo,
When someone is guilty in any of these things, he must confess whatever sin he has committed.
6 ulethe umnikelo wawo wecala eNkosini ngesono sawo osonileyo, ensikazi emhlanjini, iwundlu loba izinyane lembuzi, kube ngumnikelo wesono, umpristi abesewenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ngesono sawo.
Then he must bring his guilt offering to Yahweh for the sin that he has committed, a female animal from the flock, either a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering, and the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 Kodwa uba isandla sawo singafinyeleli okwanela imvu, ungaletha eNkosini ngecala lawo olonileyo amajuba amabili loba amaphuphu enkwilimba amabili, elinye libe ngumnikelo wesono lelinye libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa;
If he cannot afford to buy a lamb, then he can bring as his guilt offering for his sin two doves or two young pigeons to Yahweh, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
8 ubusuwaletha kumpristi ozanikela elingelomnikelo wesono kuqala, atshuphule inhloko yalo entanyeni yalo, kodwa angakwehlukanisi,
He must bring them to the priest, who will offer one for the sin offering first—he will wring off its head from its neck but will not remove it completely from the body.
9 afafaze okwegazi lomnikelo wesono ehlangothini lwelathi, legazi eliseleyo likhanyelwe kungaphansi yelathi; kungumnikelo wesono.
Then he will sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and he will drain the rest of the blood out at the base of the altar. This is a sin offering.
10 Elesibili uzalenza libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa njengokwesimiso, lompristi amenzele inhlawulo yokuthula ngesono sakhe asonileyo, njalo uzathethelelwa.
Then he must offer the second bird as a burnt offering, as described in the instructions, and the priest will make atonement for him for the sin that he has committed, and the person will be forgiven.
11 Kodwa uba isandla sawo singafinyeleli emajubeni amabili loba emaphuphini enkwilimba amabili, lowo owonileyo angaletha umnikelo wakhe okwetshumi kwe-efa yempuphu ecolekileyo ube ngumnikelo wesono; angabeki mafutha phezu kwayo, angabeki nhlaka phezu kwayo, ngoba ingumnikelo wesono.
But if he cannot afford to buy two doves or two young pigeons, then he must bring as his sacrifice for his sin a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He must not put oil or any incense on it, for it is a sin offering.
12 Njalo uzayiletha kumpristi, umpristi acuphe-ke kuyo isandla sakhe esigcweleyokube yisikhumbuzo sayo, akutshise elathini, phezu kweminikelo yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo; kungumnikelo wesono.
He must bring it to the priest, and the priest will take a handful of it as a representative offering and then burn it on the altar, on top of the offerings made by fire for Yahweh. This is a sin offering.
13 Ngalokho umpristi uzamenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ngesono sakhe asonileyo lakuyiphi yalezizinto, njalo uzathethelelwa. Njalo kuzakuba ngokompristi, njengomnikelo wokudla.
The priest will make atonement for any sin that the person has committed, and that person will be forgiven. The leftovers from the offering will belong to the priest, as with the grain offering.'”
14 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
15 Uba umphefumulo uphambeka ngesiphambeko wone ungazi umelana lezinto ezingcwele zeNkosi, uzaletha umnikelo wawo wecala eNkosini, inqama engelasici emhlanjini, elesilinganiso sakho sentengo samashekeli esiliva ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, kube ngumnikelo wecala.
“If anyone sins and acts unfaithfully in regard to the things that belong to Yahweh, but did so unintentionally, then he must bring his guilt offering to Yahweh. This offering must be a ram without blemish from the flock; its value must be appraised in silver shekels—the shekel of the sanctuary—as a guilt offering.
16 Lalokho okonileyo okumelene lento engcwele uzakubuyisela, wengezelele kukho ingxenye yesihlanu yakho, oyinike umpristi, lompristi awenzele inhlawulo yokuthula ngenqama yomnikelo wecala, njalo uzathethelelwa.
He must satisfy Yahweh for what he had done wrong in connection with what is holy, and he must add one-fifth to it and give it to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and that person will be forgiven.
17 Uba-ke umphefumulo usona, wenze okumelene lomunye wayo yonke imilayo yeNkosi, okungafanele ukwenziwa, lanxa ungakwazi, kube kanti ulecala, njalo uzathwala ububi bawo.
If anyone sins and does anything that Yahweh has commanded not to be done, even if he was unaware of it, he is still guilty and must carry his own guilt.
18 Uzaletha-ke kumpristi inqama engelasici evela emhlanjini, elesilinganiso sakho sentengo, kube ngumnikelo wecala, lompristi uzawenzela inhlawulo yokuthula ngokuphambanisa kwawo ophambanisa ngakho ungakwazi, njalo uzathethelelwa.
He must bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, worth the current value, as a guilt offering to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement for him concerning the sin he has committed, of which he was unaware, and he will be forgiven.
19 Kungumnikelo wecala; ngeqiniso ulecala eNkosini.
It is a guilt offering, and he is certainly guilty before Yahweh.”
