Duteronomi 24:1-22
24 “Nange indoda itjhada umfazi kodwana ingasathabi ngaye ngombana ifumene into ehlazisako kuye, kufuze itlole incwadi yesehlukaniso,+ imnikele yona beyimqothe emzinayo.+
2 Nasele akhambile emzinayo, angaba mfazi wenye indoda.+
3 Nange indoda yesibili imhloya, imtlolele incwadi yesehlukaniso, imnikele yona beyimqothe emzinayo namkha nange indoda yesibili emtjhadileko ihlongakala,
4 indoda eyamqotha kokuthoma angekhe ivunyelwe ukumthatha abe mkayo, sele asilaphazekile ngombana lokho kuyinto enyenyisako kuJehova. Akukafuzi nenze isono esinjengalesi enarheni uJehova uZimenu aninikela yona bona ibe lilifa lenu.
5 “Indoda eqeda ukutjhada akukafuzi iye epini namkha inikelwe nanyana ngimiphi imisebenzi. Kufuze iliswe umnyaka bona ihlale ekhaya ithabise umkayo.+
6 “Akunamuntu okufuze athathe ilitje lokusila namkha imbokodo yalo bona ibe sibambiso+ ngombana nakenza njalo uzabe uthatha lokho omunye umuntu aziphilisa ngakho.
7 “Nange omunye umuntu afunyenwe athumbe omunye umIsrayeli, amphathe kumbi bekamthengise,+ othumbileko kufuze afe.+ Kufuze nisuse okumbi hlangana nani.+
8 “Nange kuba nomuntu onobulepheru,* tjhejani bona nenza koke abaphristi bamaLevi abazonitjela khona.+ Tjhejani nenze koke engabayala ngakho.
9 Khumbulani lokho uJehova uZimenu akwenza kuMiriyamu endleleni naniphuma eGibhide.+
10 “Nawuboleka umakhelwanakho+ nanyana yini, akukafuzi ungene endlinakhe uthathe isibambiso athembise ukukunikela sona.
11 Kufuze ujame ngaphandle, umuntu omboleke nanyana yini uzokulethela isibambiso lapha ujame khona.
12 Nange umuntu loyo atlhaga, akukafuzi ubambe isibambiso kuwe bekube lilanga elilandelako.+
13 Nakutjhinga ilanga, kufuze ubuyisele nanyana yini akunikele yona bona ibe sibambiso, uzokulala anesambatho sakhe,+ uzokubusisa; nawenza njalo uzabe wenze okulungileko phambi kwakaJehova uZimakho.
14 “Akukafuzi nidlelezele isisebenzi esiqatjhiweko esitlhagileko, kungaba ngumfowenu namkha umuntu ovela kwenye inarha ohlala enarhenenu, emadorobhenenu.+
15 Kufuze umnikele umrholwakhe ngelangelo,+ ngaphambi kokuthi kutjhinge ilanga ngombana utlhagile begodu uphila ngawo umrholo loyo. Nawungenzi njalo, uzokulilela uJehova ngebanga lakho begodu uzokuba nesono.+
16 “Abobaba akukafuzi babulawe ngebanga lezenzo zabantwababo nabantwana akukafuzi babulawe ngebanga lezenzo zaboyise.+ Umuntu kufuze abulawe ngebanga lesono sakhe.+
17 “Akukafuzi nihlanakele isahlulelo somuntu ovela kwenye inarha namkha sentandani+ begodu akukafuzi nithathe isambatho somhlolokazi bona sibe sibambiso.+
18 Khumbulani bona naba ziingqila eGibhide begodu uJehova uZimenu wanihlenga.+ Kungebangelo nginiyala bona nenze lokhu.
19 “Nanivuna isivuno esiminenu nilibale inyanda, ningabuyeli emva niyoyithatha. Kufuze niyitjhiyele umuntu ovela kwenye inarha, intandani nomhlolokazi,+ khona uJehova uZimenu azonibusisa kikho koke enikwenzako.+
20 “Lokha nanibetha iimpande zomuthi wama-oliva bona niwavune, akukafuzi nibuyelele. Okuseleko kufuze nikutjhiyele umuntu ovela kwenye inarha, intandani nomhlolokazi.+
21 “Nanibutha amadiribe esiminenu yamadiribe, kufuze ningabuyeli niyokubuthelela aseleko. Kufuze niwatjhiyele umuntu ovela kwenye inarha, intandani nomhlolokazi.
22 Khumbulani bona naba ziingqila enarheni yeGibhide. Kungebangelo nginiyala bona nenze lokhu.
