Revhitiko 24
1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 “Rayira vaIsraeri kuti vauye kwauri namafuta akaisvonaka amaorivhi akasvinwa, omwenje, kuitira kuti mwenje irambe ichibvira nguva dzose.
Laya abantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi balethe kuwe amafutha emihlwathi acengekileyo agigelwe ukukhanyisa ukuze izibane zivuthe njalonjalo.
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 kweveyili lobufakazi, ethenteni lenhlangano, uAroni uzazilungisa phambi kweNkosi njalonjalo, kusukela kusihlwa kuze kube sekuseni; kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu.
4 Mwenje iri pachigadziko chomwenje chegoridhe rakaisvonaka chiri pamberi paJehovha inofanira kuchengetedzwa nguva dzose.
Uzalungisa izibane eluthini lwesibane olucwengekileyo phambi kweNkosi njalonjalo.
5 “Torai upfu hwakatsetseka mugobika zvingwa gumi nezviviri muchishandisa zvikamu zviviri kubva mugumi zveefa pachingwa chimwe nechimwe.
Uzathatha-ke impuphu ecolekileyo, ubhake ngayo amaqebelengwana alitshumi lambili; ingxenye ezimbili etshumini kuzakuba liqebelengwana elilodwa.
6 Zviisei mumitsara miviri, zvitanhatu mumutsara mumwe nomumwe, patafura yegoridhe rakaisvonaka pamberi paJehovha.
Uwabeke emizileni emibili, ayisithupha emzileni, phezu kwetafula elicwengekileyo phambi kweNkosi;
7 Pamutsetse mumwe nomumwe isai zvinonhuhwira zvive chirangaridzo chinomirira chingwa uye zvive chipiriso chinoitirwa Jehovha nomoto.
futhi ubeke kulowo lalowo umzila inhlaka ecengekileyo, ibe yisinkwa sesikhumbuzo, umnikelo owenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo.
8 Chingwa ichi chinofanira kuiswa pamberi paJehovha nguva nenguva, Sabata neSabata zvakamirira vaIsraeri sesungano inogara nokusingaperi.
Ngalo lonke usuku lwesabatha uzakulungisa phambi kweNkosi njalonjalo, kuvela ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, yisivumelwano esilaphakade.
9 NdechaAroni navanakomana vake, vanofanira kuchidyira munzvimbo tsvene, nokuti ichi chikamu chitsvene-tsvene chezvipiriso zvavo zvenguva nenguva zvinoitirwa Jehovha nomoto.”
Njalo kuzakuba ngokukaAroni lokwamadodana akhe, besebekudlela endaweni engcwele; ngoba kuyingcwelengcwele kuye, okuvela eminikelweni yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo, isimiso esilaphakade.
10 Zvino mwanakomana wavamwe mai vechiIsraeri uye baba vake vari vechiIjipita, akafamba pakati pavana vaIsraeri, uye mwanakomana womukadzi muIsraeri akarwa nomurume muIsraeri mumusasa.
Kwasekuphuma indodana yowesifazana umIsrayelikazi, owayeyindodana yendoda engumGibhithe, phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli. Lalindodana yomIsrayelikazi lendoda engumIsrayeli balwa enkambeni.
11 Mwanakomana womukadzi muIsraeri akatuka Zita raJehovha nechituko; naizvozvo vakauya naye kuna Mozisi. (Zita ramai vake rainzi Sheromiti, mwanasikana waDhibhiri worudzi rwaDhani.)
Indodana yowesifazana umIsrayelikazi yasihlambaza iBizo, yathuka. Basebemletha kuMozisi. Lebizo likanina lalinguShelomithi, indodakazi kaDibiri, owesizwe sakoDani.
12 Vakamuisa mutorongo kusvikira kuda kwaJehovha kwaiswa pachena kwavari.
Basebemfaka esitokosini, ukuze bachasiselwe ngokomlomo weNkosi.
13 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi yathi:
14 “Tora mutuki uende naye kunze kwomusasa. Vose vakamunzwa vanofanira kuisa maoko avo pamusoro wake uye ungano yose inofanira kumutaka namabwe.
Khiphela ngaphandle kwenkamba umthuki; labo bonke abamuzwayo kababeke izandla zabo ekhanda lakhe, lenhlangano yonke imkhande ngamatshe.
15 Uti kuvaIsraeri, ‘Kana munhu upi zvake akatuka Mwari wake achava nemhosva;
Khuluma-ke ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uthi: Ngulowo lalowo othuka uNkulunkulu wakhe uzathwala isono sakhe.
16 ani naani anotuka zita raJehovha anofanira kuurayiwa. Ungano yose inofanira kumutaka namabwe. Kunyange ari mutorwa kana chizvarwa chenyu, akatuka Zita raJehovha anofanira kuurayiwa.
Lohlambaza ibizo leNkosi uzabulawa lokubulawa; inhlangano yonke izamkhanda lokumkhanda ngamatshe. Njengowokuzalwa elizweni uzakuba njalo owemzini, nxa ehlambaza iBizo uzabulawa.
17 “‘Ani naani anouraya munhu, anofanira kuurayiwa.
Lomuntu nxa etshaya loba yiwuphi umphefumulo womuntu uzabulawa lokubulawa.
18 Munhu wose anouraya chipfuwo chomumwe munhu anofanira kuripa, upenyu hunotsiviwa noupenyu.
Lotshaya abulale inyamazana uzayihlawula, impilo ngempilo.
19 Kana munhu akakuvadza muvakidzani wake, zvose zvaaita zvinofanira kuitwa kwaari.
Umuntu nxa esipha-ke umakhelwane wakhe isici, njengokwenza kwakhe kuzakwenziwa njalo kuye,
20 Kutyora kunotsiviwa nokutyora, ziso rinotsiviwa neziso, zino rinotsiviwa nezino. Sezvaakuvadza mumwe saka naiye anofanira kukuvadzwa.
ukwephuka ngokwephuka, ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo; njengalokho ephe umuntu isici, kuzakwenziwa njalo kuye.
21 Ani naani anouraya mhuka anofanira kuripa asi ani naani anouraya munhu anofanira kuurayiwa.
Lotshaya inyamazana ife uzayihlawula; lotshaya umuntu afe uzabulawa.
22 Munofanira kuva nomutemo mumwe chete pamutorwa napachizvarwa chemo. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.’”
Lizakuba lokwahlulela okukodwa, njengowezizwe uzakuba njalo owokuzalwa elizweni. Ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
23 Ipapo Mozisi akataura navaIsraeri, vakatora mutuki vakaenda naye kunze kwomusasa, vakamutaka namabwe akafa. VaIsraeri vakaita sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
UMozisi wakhuluma-ke ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ukuthi bamkhuphele ngaphandle kwenkamba umthuki, bamkhande ngamatshe. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
