Levi 5 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

1Umuntu nxa ebizwa ukufakaza ngendaba ethile, ngoba eyibonile loba eyazi, kodwa angakhulumi, uyona, futhi uzakuthwala ububi bakhe.

2Uba umuntu ethinta into engcolileyo, engakwazi, loba iyisidumbu senyamazana engcolileyo, loba isidumbu senkomo engcolileyo, ingabe isidumbu salokho okuhuquzelayo okungcolileyo, ungcolile, ngakho ulecala.

3Uba ethinta okungcolileyo komuntu, loba kuyini okungcolisayo umuntu, engazi akwenzileyo, lapho esekwazi uzakuba lecala.

4Uba umuntu efunga ngamawala ukwenza okubi loba okuhle, loba kuyini umuntu angafunga ngakho ngamawala, engakwazi, lapho esekwazi uzakuba lecala kulokho.

5Kuzakuthi nxa umuntu elecala kwenye yalezizinto, avume isono sakhe,

6alethe umnikelo wecala lakhe eNkosini ngesono asenzileyo, athathe ensikazi emhlambini, imvu loba imbuzi, ibe ngumnikelo wesono, umpristi amenzele indlela yokubuyisana ngesono sakhe.

7Kodwa uba esehluleka ukuletha imvu, angaletha eNkosini ngesono asenzileyo amajuba amabili loba inkwilimba ezimbili, enye ibe ngumnikelo wesono lenye ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa;

8azilethe kumpristi ozakunikela ngeyomnikelo wesono kuqala, ayitshile intamo, kodwa angahlukanisi ikhanda lentamo,

9afafaze uhlangothi lwealtare ngegazi lomnikelo wesono, legazi eliseleyo lithululelwe phansi kwealtare; lokhu kungumnikelo wesono.

10Eyesibili uzakuyilungisa ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa njengokwesimiso, umpristi amenzele indlela yokubuyisana ngesono sakhe, athethelelwe.

11Kodwa uba esehluleka ukuletha amajuba amabili loba inkwilimba ezimbili, angaletha ngesono asenzileyo ingxenye yehefa yempuphu ecolekileyo ibe ngumnikelo wesono; angatheli mafutha kuyo, angabeki nhlaka phezu kwayo, ngoba ingumnikelo wesono.

12Kayilethe kumpristi, umpristi acuphe kuyo kube yisikhumbuzo, akutshise ealtareni, phezu kweminikelo eyenzelwe iNkosi ngomlilo; lokhu kungumnikelo wesono.

13Ngalokho umpristi uzamenzela indlela yokubuyisana ngesono asenzileyo lakuyiphi yalezizinto, athethelelwe. Okuseleyo kuzakuba ngokompristi, njengomnikelo wempuphu.

Iminikelo yecala

14INkosi yathi kuMose:

15Uba umuntu esenza isiphambeko mayelana lezinto ezingcwele afanele ukuba azinikele eNkosini, kodwa angoni ngabomu, kalethe umnikelo wakhe wecala, athathe emhlambini inqama engelasici, elentengo yamashekeli esiliva ngokweshekeli lendlu engcwele, ibe ngumnikelo wecala.

16Futhi ahlawule ngesiphambeko sakhe esimayelana lezinto ezingcwele afanele ukuba azinikele, engezelele kukho okwesihlanu, akunike umpristi, umpristi amenzele indlela yokubuyisana ngenqama yomnikelo wecala, athethelelwe.

17Uba umuntu esona, esenza lokho iNkosi elaye ngakho ukuthi umuntu angakwenzi lanxa engakwazi, ulecala, njalo uzathwala ububi bakhe.

18Kalethe kumpristi inqama engelasici evela emhlambini, elentengo elingana lentengo yomnikelo wecala, umpristi amenzele indlela yokubuyisana ngesiphambeko sakhe asenzileyo angasenzanga ngabomu, athethelelwe.

19Lokho kungumnikelo wecala; ulecala phambi kweNkosi.
