Ekisodho 21
1 “Iyi ndiyo mirayiro yaunofanira kumisa pamberi pavo:
“Nansi imithetho ozayethula phambi kwabo.”
2 “Kana ukatenga muranda wechiHebheru, anofanira kukushandira kwamakore matanhatu. Asi mugore rechinomwe, anofanira kusunungurwa aende, asina chinhu chaanoripa.
“Nxa ungathenga isisebenzi esingumHebheru kumele sikusebenzele okweminyaka eyisithupha. Kodwa emnyakeni wesikhombisa kuzamele usikhulule kungelanhlawulo.
3 Kana akauya ari oga, anofanira kusunungurwa aende ari oga; asi kana ano mukadzi pakuuya kwake, anofanira kuenda nomukadzi wake.
Nxa sifike sodwa, kumele sikhululwe sihambe sodwa kodwa nxa silomfazi ekufikeni kwasokumele sihambe laye.
4 Kana tenzi wake akamupa mukadzi uye akamuberekera vanakomana kana vanasikana, mukadzi navana vake vachava vatenzi wake, uye murume chete ndiye achasunungurwa kuti aende hake.
Nxa umqhatshi waso angasipha umfazi asizalele amadodana lamadodakazi, owesifazane labantwabakhe bazakuba ngabomqhatshi, njalo indoda izazihambela yodwa ikhululekile.
5 “Asi muranda akati, ‘Ndinoda tenzi wangu, mukadzi wangu navana vangu asi handisi kuda kusunungurwa,’
Kodwa nxa isisebenzi singathi, ‘Ngiyayithanda inkosi yami lomkami labantwabami, njalo kangifuni kukhululwa,’
6 ipapo tenzi wake anofanira kuenda naye pamberi pavatongi. Achaenda naye pamukova kana pagwatidziro romukova agomuboora nzeve yake norunji. Ipapo achava muranda wake kwoupenyu hwake hwose.
ngakho inkosi yaso kumele isihambise kubahluleli. Izasisa emnyango kumbe emgubazini abesesibhoboza indlebe yaso ngosungulo. Ngakho-ke sizakuba yisisebenzi sayo okwempilo yaso yonke.
7 “Kana munhu akatengesa mwanasikana wake kuti ave murandakadzi, iyeye haafaniri kusunungurwa kuti aende sezvinoita varandarume.
Nxa indoda ingathengisa indodakazi yayo njengesigqili, indodakazi kayingakhululeki njengalokho okwenza ezinye inceku.
8 Kana asingafadzi tenzi akamusarudza kuti ave wake, anofanira kumurega kuti adzikinurwe. Haana mvumo yokumutengesa kuvatorwa, nokuti aputsa chitenderano naye.
Nxa singathokozisi umnini waso oyabe esikhethile ukuze sibe ngesakhe kumele asiyekele sihlengwe. Akalamvumo yokusithengisa kwabezizwe, ngoba esikhohlisile.
9 Kana akamusarudzira mwanakomana wake, anofanira kumupa kodzero dzomwanasikana.
Angasikhethela indodana yakhe kumele asinike amalungelo alingana lawendodakazi yakhe.
10 Kana akawana mumwe mukadzi, haafaniri kunyima mukadzi wokutanga zvokudya, nguo kana kodzero dzake dzokuwanikwa.
Angathatha omunye umfazi akumelanga asincitshe ukudla, izigqoko lamalungelo okwenda.
11 Kana asingamupi zvinhu zvitatu izvi, anofanira kuenda akasununguka pasina kana mari yaanoripa.
Angayekela ukusipha izinto lezi ezintathu sikhululekile ukuthi sizihambele kungahlawulwanga mali.”
12 “Ani naani anorova munhu uye akamuuraya, zvirokwazvo naiye achaurayiwa.
“Wonke umuntu otshaya omunye ambulale laye kumele abulawe.
13 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana asingazviiti nobwoni, asi Mwari atendera kuti zviitike, iye anofanira kutizira kunzvimbo yandichatsaura.
Kodwa nxa engakwenzanga ngabomo, uNkulunkulu evumele ukuba kwenzakale, kumele abalekele endaweni engizayiphawula.
14 Asi kana munhu akaronga uye akauraya mumwe munhu nobwoni, mumubvise paaritari yangu uye mumuuraye.
Kodwa umuntu angaceba ukubulala omunye ngabomo, msuseni e-alithareni lami liyembulala.
15 “Ani naani anorova baba vake kana mai vake anofanira kuurayiwa.
Wonke umuntu ohlasela uyise kumbe unina kumele abulawe.
16 “Ani naani anoba mumwe munhu uye akamutengesa kana kuti akawanikwa achinaye paanenge abatwa, anofanira kuurayiwa.
Wonke umuntu othumba omunye abesemthengisa kumbe aficwe elaye kumele abulawe.
17 “Ani naani anotuka baba vake kana mai vake anofanira kuurayiwa.
Wonke umuntu othuka uyise kumbe unina kumele abulawe.
18 “Kana vanhu vakakakavadzana uye mumwe akarova mumwe nebwe kana nechibhakera chake uye akasafa asi akavata panhoo,
Nxa amadoda angaxabana omunye abesetshaya omunye ngelitshe kumbe ngenqindi, angafi kodwa agule alale phansi,
19 munhu arova haazobatwi nemhosva kana mumwe wacho akamuka akafamba-famba kunze nomudonzvo wake; kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, anofanira kuripa munhu akakuvara nokuda kwokurasikirwa kwake nenguva yake uye aone kuti apora zvachose.
lowo ophose inqindi kasoze anikwe umlandu nxa omunye angavuka abesehambahamba ephethe intonga yakhe; lanxa kunjalo kumele ahlawule indoda elimeleyo ngokulahlekelwa yisikhathi njalo ayelaphise.
20 “Kana munhu akarova murandarume wake kana murandakadzi netsvimbo uye muranda akafa nokuda kwokurohwa, anofanira kurangwa,
Nxa umuntu angatshaya isigqili sakhe sesilisa kumbe esesifazane ngomqwayi, isigqili besesisifa ngenxa yalesisenzo, kumele ajeziswe,
21 asi haafaniri kurangwa kana muranda akamuka shure kwezuva rimwe chete kana maviri, sezvo muranda ari mudziyo wake.
kodwa kasoze ajeziswe nxa isigqili singasila ngemva kwelanga elilodwa kumbe insuku ezimbili, ngoba isigqili siyimpahla yakhe.
22 “Kana varume vachirwa vakarova mukadzi ane mimba uye akabereka gavamwedzi asi asina kukuvara zvakanyanya, nyakupara mhosva anofanira kuripiswa zvose zvazvo zvinodiwa nomurume wacho uye zvinobvumirwa nedare remhosva.
Nxa amadoda alwayo angatshaya umfazi ozithweleyo abesebeletha isikhathi sakhe singakafiki, kodwa engalimalanga kakubi, owonileyo kumele ahlawuliswe lokho okuyabe kubizelwe yindoda yomfazi kwasekuvunywa ngumthethwandaba.
23 Asi kana pane kukuvara kwakaipisisa, unofanira kutora upenyu noupenyu,
Kodwa kungangabi lokulimala okubi, kumele impilo ibhadalwe ngempilo,
24 ziso neziso, zino nezino, ruoko noruoko, tsoka netsoka,
ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo, isandla ngesandla, unyawo ngonyawo.
25 kutsva nokutsva, ronda neronda, vanga nevanga.
Ukutshiswa ngokutshiswa, isilonda ngesilonda, ukulimala ngokulimala.
26 “Kana munhu akarova murandarume kana murandakadzi paziso uye akariparadza, anofanira kurega muranda achienda akasununguka kuti atsive ziso rake.
Nxa umuntu angatshaya isigqili sakhe sesilisa kumbe esesifazane elihlweni alipatshaze, kumele asiyekele isisebenzi sizihambele kube yinhlawulo yelihlo.
27 Uye kana akabvisa zino romurandarume kana romurandakadzi, anofanira kurega muranda aende akasununguka kuti atsive zino rake.
Angatshaya akhumule izinyo lesigqili sesilisa kumbe esesifazane, kumele asiyekele isisebenzi sizihambele kube yinhlawulo yezinyo.
28 “Kana hando ikatunga murume kana mukadzi akafa, hando iyoyo inofanira kutakwa namabwe kusvika yafa, uye nyama yayo haifaniri kudyiwa.
Nxa inkunzi ingahlaba indoda kumbe umfazi afe, leyonkunzi kumele itshaywe ngamatshe ize ife njalo inyama yayo kayingadliwa. Kodwa umnikazi wenkunzi akumelanga etheswe umlandu.
29 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana hando yanga ine tsika yokutunga uye muridzi wayo akamboyambirwa hake asi akasaipfigira mudanga uye ikauraya murume kana mukadzi, hando iyo inofanira kutakwa namabwe uyewo muridzi wayo anofanira kuurayiwa.
Kodwa nxa inkunzi ivele ilomkhuba wokuhlaba abantu, njalo umnikazi eseke wakhuzwa kodwa wekela ukuyivalela ibisibulala indoda kumbe umfazi, inkunzi kumele ibulawe ngamatshe lomnikazi abulawe.
30 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, kana pachidikanwa muripo unobva kwaari angadzikinura hake upenyu hwake nokuripa zvose zvazvo zvinodikanwa.
Kodwa kungathiwa kahlawule, angahlenga impilo yakhe ngokuhlawula lokho okuyabe kubiziwe.
31 Murayiro uyu unobatawo kana hando iyi yatunga mwanakomana kana mwanasikana.
Umthetho lo uyasebenza njalo nxa inkunzi ingahlaba indodana kumbe indodakazi.
32 Kana hando ikatunga murandarume kana murandakadzi, muridzi wayo anofanira kuripa mashekeri esirivha makumi matatu kuna tenzi womuranda, uye hando inofanira kutakwa namabwe.
Nxa inkunzi ingahlaba isigqili sesilisa kumbe esesifazane, umnikazi kumele ahlawule amashekeli angamatshumi amathathu esiliva kumnini wesigqili, njalo inkunzi kumele ibulawe ngamatshe.
33 “Kana munhu akafukunura gomba kana kuchera rimwe gomba uye akarega kurifushira uye nzombe kana mbongoro ikawira mariri,
Nxa umuntu etshiya umgodi ukhamisile, loba esimba umgodi angawusibekeli kuwele kuwo inkabi ingabe ubabhemi,
34 muridzi wegomba anofanira kuripa kurasikirwa uku; anofanira kuripira muridzi wayo, uye chipfuwo chafa chichava chake.
umninimgodi kahlawule; kahlawule umnikazi, isifuyo esifileyo besesisiba ngesakhe.
35 “Kana hando yomumwe munhu ikakuvadza hando yomumwe uye ikafa, vanofanira kutengesa mhenyu yacho vagogovana zvakaenzana mari yacho vari vaviri, uye nemombe yakafawo.
Nxa inkunzi yomuntu ingalimaza eyomunye kuzamele ukuthi bathengise leyo ephilayo, babelane imali lesidumbu saleyo efileyo ngokulinganayo.
36 Kunyange zvakadaro, kana zvakanga zvichizivikanwa kuti hando iyi yagara ine tsika yokutunga, asi muridzi akasaipfigira mudanga, muridzi anofanira kuripa chipfuwo nechipfuwo, uye chipfuwo chafa chichava chake.
Kodwa nxa kusaziwa ukuthi inkunzi ivele ilomkhuba wokuhlaba ezinye, kodwa umnikazi engayivaleli esibayeni, umnikazi kumele ahlawule isifuyo ngesinye isifuyo, njalo isifuyo esifileyo sizakuba ngesakhe.”
