Chapter 31
1 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses esithi,
2 Khangela, ndibize ngegama uBhetsaleli unyana kaUri, unyana kaHuri, wesizwe sakwaYuda;
3 ndamzalisa ngomoya kaThixo, ngobulumko, nangokuqonda, nangokwazi, nangobungcibi bamashishini onke;
4 ukuba athelekelele, ayile, asebenze ngegolide nangesilivere nangobhedu,
5 nangokukrola amatye, awafake, nangokukrola imithi, asebenze amashishini onke.
6 Yabona, mna ndimkhuphe kunye noAholiyabhi unyana ka-Ahisamaki, wesizwe sakwaDan; nasezintliziyweni zabo bonke abalumkileyo entliziyweni ndibeke ubulumko, ukuza bazenze zonke izinto endikuwisele umthetho ngazo:
7 intente yokuhlangana, netyeya yesingqino, nesihlalo sokucamagusha esiphezu kwayo, nempahla yonke yentente,
8 netafile nempahla yayo, nesiphatho sezibane esicocekileyo, nempahla yaso yonke, nesibingelelo sokuqhumisela,
9 nesibingelelo sedini elinyukayo nempahla yaso yonke, nohehema lwesitya sokuhlambela, noseko lwalo;
10 nezambatho zokubusa, nezambatho ezingcwele zika-Aron umbingeleli, nezambatho zoonyana bakhe zokwenzelelela;
11 neoli yokuthambisa, nesiqhumiso esimnandi sengcwele; benze njengako konke endikuwisele umthetho ngako.
12 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses esithi,
13 Wena, thetha koonyana bakaSirayeli uthi, Inene, iisabatha zam zigcineni; kuba zingumqondiso phakathi kwam nani kwizizukulwana zenu, ukuze nazi ukuba ndinguYehova oningcwalisayo;
14 niyigcine isabatha, kuba ingcwele kuni. Lowo uyihlambelayo wobulawa afe; kuba bonke abo basebenza umsebenzi ngayo, loo miphefumlo yonqanyulwa, ingabikho ebantwini bakowayo.
15 Imihla emithandathu wosebenza umsebenzi ngayo, ke umhla wesixhenxe yisabatha kasabatha, ingcwele kuYehova; bonke abo basebenza umsebenzi ngomhla wesabatha, bobulawa bafe.
16 Oonyana bakaSirayeli mabayigcine ke isabatha, bayenze isabatha kwizizukulwana zabo: ingumnqophiso ongunaphakade.
17 Phakathi kwam noonyana bakaSirayeli, ngumqondiso ongunaphakade; kuba imihla emithandathu uYehova wenza izulu nomhlaba, waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe, waphefumla.
18 Akukhova ukuthetha naye entabeni yaseSinayi, wamnika uMoses amacwecwe amabini esingqino, amacwecwe amatye, ebhalwe ngomnwe kaThixo.
