UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 “Rayira vaIsraeri kuti vauye kwauri namafuta akaisvonaka amaorivhi akasvinwa, omwenje, kuitira kuti mwenje irambe ichibvira nguva dzose.
“Laya abantu bako-Israyeli bakulethele amafutha acengekileyo, ahluzwe ema-oliveni, abe ngawokukhanyisa ukuze izibane zihlale zikhanyisa kokuphela.
3 Kunze kwechidzitiro cheChipupuriro muTende Rokusangana, Aroni anofanira kuchengetedza mwenje iyi pamberi paJehovha kubva manheru kusvikira kwaedza, nguva dzose. Uyu unofanira kuva murayiro unogara nokusingaperi kuzvizvarwa zvichauya.
Ngaphandle kwekhetheni eligudle umtshokotsho wobufakazi, phakathi kwethente lokuhlangana u-Aroni kumele alinde izibane phambi kukaThixo izikhathi zonke nxa kusihlwa kuze kube sekuseni. Lokhu kuzakuba yisimiso saphakade lakuzizukulwane ezizayo.
4 Mwenje iri pachigadziko chomwenje chegoridhe rakaisvonaka chiri pamberi paJehovha inofanira kuchengetedzwa nguva dzose.
Izibane ezisoluthini lwegolide elicolekileyo phambi kukaThixo kumele zilindwe izikhathi zonke.
5 “Torai upfu hwakatsetseka mugobika zvingwa gumi nezviviri muchishandisa zvikamu zviviri kubva mugumi zveefa pachingwa chimwe nechimwe.
Thatha ifulawa ecolekileyo wenze izinkwa ezilitshumi lambili usebenzisa okubili kwetshumi kwehefa isinkwa ngasinye.
6 Zviisei mumitsara miviri, zvitanhatu mumutsara mumwe nomumwe, patafura yegoridhe rakaisvonaka pamberi paJehovha.
Zibeke emizileni emibili, ziyisithupha emzileni munye, phezu kwetafula yegolide elicolekileyo phambi kukaThixo.
7 Pamutsetse mumwe nomumwe isai zvinonhuhwira zvive chirangaridzo chinomirira chingwa uye zvive chipiriso chinoitirwa Jehovha nomoto.
Emzileni ngamunye faka impepha enhle njengengxenye yesikhumbuzo esimela isinkwa njalo kube ngumhlatshelo wokudla onikelwa kuThixo.
8 Chingwa ichi chinofanira kuiswa pamberi paJehovha nguva nenguva, Sabata neSabata zvakamirira vaIsraeri sesungano inogara nokusingaperi.
Isinkwa lesi kumele sibekwe phambi kukaThixo izikhathi zonke, amaSabatha wonke, kusenzelwa abako-Israyeli, kube yisivumelwano esingayikuphela.
9 NdechaAroni navanakomana vake, vanofanira kuchidyira munzvimbo tsvene, nokuti ichi chikamu chitsvene-tsvene chezvipiriso zvavo zvenguva nenguva zvinoitirwa Jehovha nomoto.”
Sizakuba ngesika-Aroni lamadodana akhe, abazasidlela endaweni engcwele ngoba siyingxenye engcwele kakhulu yesabelo sabo esifaneleyo somhlatshelo onikelwa kuThixo.”
10 Zvino mwanakomana wavamwe mai vechiIsraeri uye baba vake vari vechiIjipita, akafamba pakati pavana vaIsraeri, uye mwanakomana womukadzi muIsraeri akarwa nomurume muIsraeri mumusasa.
Kwasekusiba lendodana yomfazi wako-Israyeli, uyise wayengumGibhithe, yasuka yaya ebantwini bako-Israyeli, yasixabana lomuntu wako-Israyeli ezihonqweni.
11 Mwanakomana womukadzi muIsraeri akatuka Zita raJehovha nechituko; naizvozvo vakauya naye kuna Mozisi. (Zita ramai vake rainzi Sheromiti, mwanasikana waDhibhiri worudzi rwaDhani.)
Indodana yomfazi wako-Israyeli leyo yahlambaza ibizo likaThixo ngesithuko. Ngakho bayiletha kuMosi. (Ibizo likanina lalinguShelomithi, indodakazi kaDibhiri, owesizwe sikaDani.)
12 Vakamuisa mutorongo kusvikira kuda kwaJehovha kwaiswa pachena kwavari.
Bayifaka entolongweni ukuba intando kaThixo ize yazakale kuhle kubo.
13 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi,
14 “Tora mutuki uende naye kunze kwomusasa. Vose vakamunzwa vanofanira kuisa maoko avo pamusoro wake uye ungano yose inofanira kumutaka namabwe.
“Umuntu lowo owathukayo mkhupheleni ngaphandle kwezihonqo. Bonke labo abamuzwayo babeke izandla zabo phezu kwekhanda lakhe, ibandla lonke limgongode ngamatshe.
15 Uti kuvaIsraeri, ‘Kana munhu upi zvake akatuka Mwari wake achava nemhosva;
Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Loba ngubani othuka uNkulunkulu wakhe, uzakuba lecala.
16 ani naani anotuka zita raJehovha anofanira kuurayiwa. Ungano yose inofanira kumutaka namabwe. Kunyange ari mutorwa kana chizvarwa chenyu, akatuka Zita raJehovha anofanira kuurayiwa.
Loba ngubani othuka ibizo likaThixo uzabulawa. Ibandla lonke kumele limgongode ngamatshe. Loba kungowezizweni kumbe oyinzalo yelizwe lakini angahlambaza ibizo likaThixo kumele abulawe.
17 “‘Ani naani anouraya munhu, anofanira kuurayiwa.
Obulala umuntu kumele abulawe.
18 Munhu wose anouraya chipfuwo chomumwe munhu anofanira kuripa, upenyu hunotsiviwa noupenyu.
Obulala isifuyo somunye kumele ahlawule, kube okuphilayo ngokuphilayo.
19 Kana munhu akakuvadza muvakidzani wake, zvose zvaaita zvinofanira kuitwa kwaari.
Olimaza umakhelwane wakhe, loba ngayiphi indlela, kumele kwenziwe lakuye,
20 Kutyora kunotsiviwa nokutyora, ziso rinotsiviwa neziso, zino rinotsiviwa nezino. Sezvaakuvadza mumwe saka naiye anofanira kukuvadzwa.
kube yikwephuka ngokwephuka, ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo. Njengoba elimaze omunye, ngokunjalo laye kumele alinyazwe.
21 Ani naani anouraya mhuka anofanira kuripa asi ani naani anouraya munhu anofanira kuurayiwa.
Obulala inyamazana kumele ayihlawule, kodwa obulala umuntu kumele abulawe.
22 Munofanira kuva nomutemo mumwe chete pamutorwa napachizvarwa chemo. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.’”
Lizakuba lomlayo munye kowezizweni lowakini. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.’”
23 Ipapo Mozisi akataura navaIsraeri, vakatora mutuki vakaenda naye kunze kwomusasa, vakamutaka namabwe akafa. VaIsraeri vakaita sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
Emva kwalokho uMosi wakhuluma kwabako-Israyeli, basebethatha umuntu lowo owayehlambaze uThixo, bamusa ngaphandle kwezihonqo, bamgongoda ngamatshe. Abako-Israyeli benza njengokulaywa kwabo nguThixo.
