23 UJehova waragela phambili wathi kuMosi: 2 “Khuluma nama-Israyeli uthi kiwo, ‘Iminyanya kaJehova egidingwa ngeenkhathi ezithileko zomnyaka+ okufuze niyimemezele,+ imihlangano ecwengileko. Nasi iminyanyami egidingwa ngeenkhathi ezithileko zomnyaka:

3 “‘Ningasebenza amalanga asithandathu kodwana ilanga lekhomba lisabatha, lilanga lokuphumula,+ umhlangano ocwengileko. Akukafuzi nenze nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi. Kufuze kube lisabatha lakaJehova nanyana kukuphi lapha nihlala khona.+

4 “‘Le minyanya kaJehova egidingwa ngeenkhathi ezithileko zomnyaka, imihlangano ecwengileko enifuze niyimemezele ngeenkhathi ezibekelwe yona: 5 Enyangeni yokuthoma, elangeni le-14 lenyanga,+ ngamarhwaqela liPhasika+ lakaJehova.

6 “‘Ngelanga le-15 lenyanga le mNyanya kaJehova woBurotho obunganaSibiliso.+ Kufuze nidle uburotho obunganasibiliso amalanga alikhomba.+ 7 Ngelanga lokuthoma, kufuze nigidinge umhlangano ocwengileko.+ Akukafuzi nenze nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi obudisi. 8 Amalanga alikhomba kufuze nenze umnikelo kuJehova owenziwe ngomlilo. Ngelanga lekhomba kuzokuba nomhlangano ocwengileko. Akukafuzi nenze nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi obudisi.’”

9 UJehova waragela phambili wakhuluma noMosi wathi: 10 “Khuluma nama-Israyeli uthi kiwo, ‘Nanifika enarheni engininikela yona begodu nasele nivune isivuno senu, kufuze nilethe inyanda yesivuno senu sokuthoma+ kumphristi.+ 11 Uzokuphephezelisa inyanda leyo ayise emuva naphambili, phambi kwakaJehova bona namukeleke. Umphristi kufuze ayiphephezelise ngelanga elilandelako ngemva kweSabatha. 12 Ngelanga okuphephezeliswa ngalo inyanda, kufuze ninikele ngeramu eliphile kuhle elinomnyaka munye libe mnikelo otjhiswako oya kuJehova. 13 Umnikelo weenthoro uzokuba makhilogremu amabili weflowuru esefiweko evangwe namafutha bona ube mnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oya kuJehova, iphunga elimnandi. Umnikelo wesiselo uzokuba lilitha linye lewayini. 14 Akukafuzi nidle nanyana ngibuphi uburotho, iinthoro ezikhanzingiweko namkha iinthoro ezitja bekube lilangeli, bekube kulapho niletha umnikelo kaZimenu. Lo mthetho ozokuhlala usebenza kizo zoke iinzukulwana zenu nanyana kukuphi lapha nihlala khona.

15 “‘Kufuze nibale amasabatha alikhomba kusukela ngelanga langemva kweSabatha, kusukela ngelanga eniletha ngalo inyanda yomnikelo ophephezeliswako.+ Kufuze abe ziimveke ezipheleleko. 16 Nizokubala amalanga ama-50+ bekube lilanga elingemva kweSabatha lekhomba, ngemva kwalokho kufuze nilethe umnikelo weenthoro ezitja kuJehova.+ 17 Kufuze nilethe uburotho obubili enibuthethe lapha nihlala khona bona bube mnikelo ophephezeliswako. Kufuze benziwe ngeflowuru esefiweko emakhilogremu amabili. Kufuze bubhagwe ngesibiliso,+ bube ziinthelo zokuthoma eziya kuJehova.+ 18 Naniletha uburothobu kufuze nilethe neemvana eziduna ezilikhomba eziphile kuhle, ngayinye ibe nomnyaka munye benilethe nekunzana yinye namaramu amabili.+ Koke lokhu kuzokuba mnikelo otjhiswako oya kuJehova nomnikelo weenthoro, umnikelo weenselo bona kube mnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo, iphunga elimnandi eliya kuJehova. 19 Kufuze ninikele imbuzana yinye bona ibe mnikelo wesono+ neemvana eziduna ezimbili, ezinomnyaka munye, bona zibe mhlatjelo wetjhebiswano.+ 20 Umphristi uzoziphephezelisa azise emuva naphambili noburotho beenthelo zokuthoma bona bube mnikelo ophephezeliswako phambi kwakaJehova neemvana eziduna ezimbili. Kufuze bube ngebomphristi,+ okucwengileko kuJehova. 21 Ngelangeli nizokwenza isimemezelo+ somhlanganwenu ocwengileko. Akukafuzi nenze nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi obudisi. Lo mthetho ozokuhlala usebenza eenzukulwaneni zenu zoke, kizo zoke iindawo enihlala kizo.

22 “‘Lokha nanivunako esiminenu, akukafuzi nivune koke okungemaqadi+ begodu niburuje isivuno senu. Kufuze nitjhiyele umuntu otlhagileko+ nomuntu ovela kwenye inarha ohlala nani.+ NginguJehova uZimenu.’”

23 UJehova waragela phambili wakhuluma noMosi wathi: 24 “Tjela ama-Israyeli uthi, ‘Ngenyanga yekhomba, ngelanga lokuthoma lenyanga, kufuze niphumule kiyo yoke imisebenzenu, ilangeli lizokumenyezelwa ngokuvuthelwa kwebhorompita+ ukwenzela bona nikhumbule ukuthi mhlangano ocwengileko. 25 Ningenzi nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi obudisi begodu nizokunikela umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oya kuJehova.’”

26 UJehova waraga wathi kuMosi: 27 “Kodwana ngelanga letjhumi layo inyanga yekhomba le, liLanga lokuLitjalelwa kweZono.+ Kufuze nigidinge umhlangano ocwengileko, kufuze nidane*+ ngebanga lezono zenu begodu nilethe umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo oya kuJehova. 28 Ningenzi nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi ngelangeli ngombana lilanga lokulitjalelwa kwezono+ zenu phambi kwakaJehova uZimenu. 29 Nanyana ngubani ongekhe adane* ngelangeli ngebanga lezono zakhe uzokubulawa.+ 30 Ngizokutjhabalalisa woke umuntu owenza nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi ngelangeli. 31 Akukafuzi nenze nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi. Lo mthetho ozokuhlala usebenza eenzukulwaneni zenu zoke nanyana kukuphi lapha nihlala khona. 32 Lisabatha, lilanga lokuphumula kwenu begodu kufuze nidane+ ngebanga lezono zenu ngelanga lethoba lenyanga ntambama. Kufuze nigidinge isabatha lenu kusukela ntambama bekube lilanga elilandelako ntambama.”

33 UJehova waraga wathi kuMosi: 34 “Tjela ama-Israyeli uthi, ‘Ngelanga le-15 lenyanga yekhomba le mNyanya wemiTlhatlhana wamalanga alikhomba wokudumisa uJehova.+ 35 Ngelanga lokuthoma kuzokuba nomhlangano ocwengileko begodu akukafuzi nenze nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi obudisi. 36 Amalanga alikhomba kufuze nilethe kuJehova umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo. Elangeni lobunane kufuze nigidinge umhlangano ocwengileko+ begodu kufuze nilethe umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo kuJehova. Mhlangano okhethekileko. Nje-ke akukafuzi nenze nanyana ngimuphi umsebenzi obudisi.

37 “‘Le minyanya kaJehova egidingwa ngeenkhathi ezithileko zomnyaka+ ekufuze niyimemezele bona imihlangano ecwengileko+ yokunikela umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo kuJehova:+ umnikelo otjhiswako, umnikelo weenthoro+ neminikelo yesiselo kuye ngokwalokho okutlhogeka ilanga nelanga.+ 38 Lezi zizinto ezingezelelwako kilokho enikunikela ngamasabatha kaJehova,+ ezingezelelwako eziphweni zenu,+ eminikelwenenu yesifungo+ neminikelwenenu esuka ehliziyweni+ okufuze nizinikele uJehova. 39 Ngelanga le-15 lenyanga yekhomba, nasele nibuthelele isivuno senarha, kufuze nigidinge umnyanya kaJehova amalanga alikhomba.+ Ilanga lokuthoma lilanga lokuphumula nelanga lobunane lilanga lokuphumula.+ 40 Ngelanga lokuthoma, nizokuthatha iinthelo zemithi ekhethekileko, amakari wemithi yesundu,+ iimpande zemithi enamakari amanengi nemithi ekhulela ngemirhobeni nizokuthaba+ phambi kwakaJehova uZimenu amalanga alikhomba.+ 41 Kufuze nigidinge umnyanya kaJehova amalanga alikhomba ngomnyaka.+ Lo mthetho ozokuhlala usebenza kizo zoke iinzukulwana zenu, kufuze niwugidinge ngenyanga yekhomba. 42 Kufuze nihlale emitlhatlhaneni amalanga alikhomba.+ Woke ama-Israyeli kufuze ahlale emitlhatlhaneni, 43 khona iinzukulwana zenu ezizako zizokwazi+ bona nganihlalisa emitlhatlhaneni nanginikhupha enarheni yeGibhide.+ NginguJehova uZimenu.’”

44 Nje-ke uMosi wakhuluma nama-Israyeli ngeminyanya kaJehova egidingwa ngeenkhathi ezithileko zomnyaka.
