Duteronomi 19:1-21
19 “Lokha uJehova uZimenu nakatjhabalalisa iintjhaba zeenarha uJehova uZimenu aninikela zona bona nithathe inarhazo, nasele nihlezi emadorobhenazo neendlini zazo,+
2 kufuze nikhethe amadorobho amathathu enarhenenu uJehova uZimenu aninikela yona.+
3 Kufuze nihlukanise isifunda senarha uJehova uZimenu aninikela yona bona ibe ngeyenu sibe ziingcenye ezintathu, nilungise iindlela bona umbulali abalekele kwelinye lamadorobho lawo.
4 “Nakhu ekufuze kwenzeke malungana nomuntu obulele omunye bewabalekela emadorobheni la bona angabulawa: Lokha nakamadlha umfowabo angakahlosi begodu angakhenge amhloye;+
5 njengalokha umuntu nakakhamba nomunye ehlathini bona bayokutheza, aphakamise izembe akape umuthi kodwana ihloko yezembe iphume ikape omunye umuntu imbulale, umbulali kufuze abalekele kwelinye lamadorobho la bona aphile.+
6 Umbuyiseleli weengazi+ angasilingeka agijimise umbulali, ambambe bekambulale ngombana edorobheni bekukude. Nanyana kunjalo, bekungakafuzi afe ngombana bekangamhloyi umuntu ambuleleko.+
7 Kungebangelo nginiyala bona: ‘Nibekele ngeqadi amadorobho amathathu.’
8 UJehova uZimenu uzokwandisa isifunda senu njengombana afunga kibokhokho benu+ begodu uzoninikela yoke inarha afunga kibokhokho benu ukuninikela yona,+
9 bona lokhu kwenzeke kufuze nilalele yoke imiyalo enginiyala ngayo le namhlanjesi, nithande uJehova uZimenu begodu nihlale nikhamba eendleleni zakhe,+ nasele inarhenu ikhulisiwe kufuze ningezelele amadorobho amathathu wobuphephelo.+
10 Nanenza njalo, azikho iingazi ezinganamlandu ezizokuphalazwa+ enarhenenu uJehova uZimenu aninikela yona bona ibe lilifa lenu begodu angeze nibe nomlandu weengazi.+
11 “Nange umuntu ahloye omunye umuntu,+ alindele ithuba lokumsahlela amlimaze bekambulale, umuntu obuleleko abalekele kwelinye lamadorobho la,
12 abadala bedorobheni lakhe bazokulayela bona ayokuthathwa asiwe kumbuyiseleli weengazi, kufuze abulawe.+
13 Kufuze ningamrhawukeli begodu kufuze nisuse umlandu wokuphalaza iingazi ezinganamlandu kwa-Israyeli+ khona kuzanikhambela kuhle.
14 “Lokha nanifumana ilifa lenu enarheni uJehova uZimenu aninikela yona bona ibe ngeyenu, kufuze ningatjhidisi isikhonkhwani sakamakhelwanenu+ endaweni lapha abokhokho babeke khona imikhawulo.
15 “Akunamuntu ozokubekwa umlandu nange kunofakazi munye otjengisa bona umuntu lo wonile.+ Kufuze kube nabofakazi ababili namkha abathathu abazokuqinisekisa indaba.+
16 Nange ufakazi oneenhloso ezimbi amangalela omunye umuntu,+
17 abantwabo bobabili bazokujama phambi kwakaJehova, phambi kwabaphristi naphambi kwabahluleli abazobe basebenza ngesikhatheso.+
18 Abahluleli bazoyihlolisisa indaba le,+ nange indoda enikela ubufakazi ifakaza amala begodu imangalela umfowabo ngamala,
19 kufuze nenze kuye njengombana bekahlele ukwenza kumfowabo,+ kufuze nisuse into embi hlangana nani.+
20 Abanye abantu nabezwa ngalokhu bazokuthukwa, angekhe basenza into ekhohlakele kangaka hlangana nani.+
21 Kufuze ningamtlhuweli:+ Ukuphila ngokuphila, ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo, isandla ngesandla, inyawo ngenyawo.+
