Levitikus
21 UYehova waphinda wathi kuMoses: “Thetha nababingeleli, oonyana baka-Aron, uthi kubo, ‘Makungabikho mbingeleli uzingcolisayo ngomntu ofileyo kubantu bakowabo.+ 2 Kodwa angayenza loo nto ngenxa yesalamane sakhe segazi esisondeleyo kuye, ngenxa kamama wakhe, utata wakhe, unyana wakhe, intombi yakhe, umntakwabo 3 nangenxa kadadewabo ukuba useyintombi engazange yalala nandoda, usondele kuye yaye akakatshati. 4 Akamele azingcolise aze azenze angabi ngcwele ngenxa yomfazi onomyeni wakhe kubantu bakowabo. 5 Bafanele bangazichebi inkqayi iintloko zabo,+ bangazincweli iindevu zabo ekugqibeleni, bangazisiki nasemzimbeni.+ 6 Bafanele babe ngcwele kuThixo wabo,+ bangalingcolisi igama loThixo wabo,+ kuba ngabo abazisa umnikelo kaYehova owenziwa ngomlilo, isonka soThixo* wabo, yaye bamele babe ngcwele.+ 7 Mabangatshati nomfazi othengisa ngomzimba,+ intombi ehluthwe ubuntombi bayo, okanye umfazi oqhawule umtshato nendoda yakhe,+ kuba umbingeleli ungcwele kuThixo wakhe. 8 Umele umngcwalise,+ kuba nguye ozisa isonka soThixo wakho. Umele abe ngcwele kuwe, kuba mna Yehova oningcwalisayo, ndingcwele.+
9 “‘Ukuba intombi yombingeleli iye yazingcolisa ngokuthengisa ngomzimba, ingcolisa igama likatata wayo. Imele itshiswe.+
10 “‘Umbingeleli omkhulu ophakathi kwabantakwabo, ekuza kugalelwa ioli yokuthambisa entlokweni yakhe,+ noye wabekwa* ukuba anxibe izambatho zababingeleli,+ umele angayiyeki ingalungiswanga intloko yakhe, angazikrazuli iimpahla zakhe.+ 11 Umele angayi nakumntu ofileyo.*+ Akamele azingcolise nangenxa katata okanye umama wakhe. 12 Umele angaphumi kwindawo engcwele yaye angayingcolisi indawo engcwele kaThixo wakhe,+ kuba ioli yokuthambisa kaThixo wakhe,+ ebonisa ukuzinikezela kwakhe, iphezu kwakhe. NdinguYehova.
13 “‘Makazithathele umfazi ongazange walala nandoda.+ 14 Akamele atshate umhlolokazi, umfazi oqhawule umtshato, intombi ehluthwe ubuntombi bayo, okanye umfazi othengisa ngomzimba, kodwa ufanele athathe intombi engazange yalala nandoda ebantwini bakowabo ukuba ibe ngumfazi wakhe. 15 Makangayingcolisi inzala* yakhe phakathi kwabantu bakowabo,+ kuba ndinguYehova omngcwalisayo.’”
16 Waqhubeka uYehova wathi kuMoses: 17 “Yithi kuAron, ‘Makungabikho ndoda enesiphene kwinzala* yakho, kuzo zonke izizukulwana zayo, esondelayo ukuze izise isonka soThixo wayo. 18 Ukuba kukho nayiphi na indoda enesiphene, ayimele isondele: indoda eyimfama okanye isiqhwala okanye enempumlo esikekileyo okanye esisilima, 19 indoda eyaphuke unyawo okanye eyaphuke isandla, 20 esisifombo okanye emfutshane* ngokungaqhelekanga, enesifo emehlweni ayo okanye enokhwekhwe okanye enesitshanguba okanye etyumke amasende.+ 21 Akukho ndoda inesiphene kwinzala ka-Aron umbingeleli emele izise iminikelo kaYehova eyenziwa ngomlilo. Ekubeni inesiphene, ayivumelekanga ukuzisa isonka soThixo wayo. 22 Ingasitya isonka soThixo wayo esivela kwizinto ezizezona zingcwele+ nakwizinto ezingcwele.+ 23 Kodwa ke, ayimele ize kufuphi nekhethini,+ yaye ayimele isondele esibingelelweni,+ kuba inesiphene. Ayifanele ingcolise ingcwele yam,+ kuba ndinguYehova obangcwalisayo.’”+
24 Ngoko uMoses wathetha noAron noonyana bakhe nawo onke amaSirayeli.
