Kanganathi umhluzi wezithelo zevini, njalo angadli izithelo zevini ezimanzi loba ezomileyo. 4 Nxa elokhu engumNaziri kangadli lutho oluvela esivinini kungakhathalekile ukuthi zintanga loba ngamakhasi esithelo.

5 “ ‘Ngaso sonke isikhathi esemi esifungweni sokuzahlukanisela akumelanga kube lempuco ekhanda lakhe. Kumele abe ngcwele size sedlule isikhathi sakhe sokuzahlukanisela uJehova; kayekele izinwele zakhe zikhule zibende. 6 Kuso sonke isikhathi sakhe sokuzahlukanisela uJehova kangasondeli esidunjini. 7 Loba kungaze kube kufe uyise loba unina loba umfowabo loba udadewabo, akumelanga azingcolise ngokomlayo ngenxa yabo, ngoba uphawu lokuzahlukanisela uNkulunkulu lusekhanda lakhe. 8 Ngaso sonke isikhathi sokuzahlukanisela kwakhe ungokhethiweyo kuJehova.

9 “ ‘Nxa kungafa umuntu emehlweni akhe, ngakho besekungcolisa izinwele zakhe asezinikele, kumele aphuce ikhanda ngosuku lokuhlanjululwa kwakhe – usuku lwesikhombisa. 10 Ngakho ngosuku lwesifica mibili kalethe kumphristi esangweni leThente lokuHlanganela amajuba amabili loba inkwilimba ezincane ezimbili. 11 Umphristi uzanikela umnikelo wesono ngenye inyoni kuthi enye ibe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa ukumenzela indlela yokubuyisana ngoba enze isono ngokuba lapho okulesidumbu khona. Ngalo lolosuku kumele angcwelise ikhanda lakhe.

12 Kazinikele kuJehova okwesikhathi leso azahlukanisele sona njalo alethe izinyane lemvu elilomnyaka owodwa eliduna libe njengomnikelo wecala. Izinsuku ezadlulayo kazibalwa, ngoba ube ngongcolileyo ngesikhathi sokuzahlukanisela kwakhe.

13 “ ‘Lo ngumlayo womNaziri nxa isikhathi sakhe sokuzahlukanisela sesiphelile. Kumele alethwe esangweni leThente lokuHlanganela.

14 Kethule lapho umnikelo wakhe kuJehova: izinyane lemvu elilomnyaka owodwa eliduna elingelasici libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, izinyane lemvu elisikazi elilomnyaka owodwa elingelasici libe ngumnikelo wesono, inqama engelasici ibe ngumnikelo wobudlelwano,

15 ndawonye leminikelo yamabele leyokunathwayo, kanye lesitsha sesinkwa esingelamvubelo – amakhekhe enziwe ngefulawa ecolekileyo ixutshwe ngamafutha, njalo lamaqebelengwana anindwe ngamafutha.

16 “ ‘Umphristi uzakwethula lokhu phambi kukaJehova enze umnikelo wesono lowokutshiswa. 17 Umphristi uzakwethula isitsha esilesinkwa esingelamvubelo njalo enze umhlatshelo ngenqama kube ngumnikelo wobudlelwano kuJehova, ndawonye lomnikelo wakho wamabele lowokunathwayo.

18 “ ‘Ngakho umNaziri uzaphucela izinwele zakhe zokwahlukanisela esangweni leThente lokuHlanganela. Uzaphosela izinwele lezo emlilweni ongaphansi komhlatshelo wobudlelwano.

19 “ ‘Nxa umNaziri esephuce izinwele zokuzahlukanisela kwakhe, umphristi uzabeka ezandleni zakhe umkhono wenqama ephekiweyo, kanye lekhekhe leqebelengwana esitsheni, kokubili kungelamvubelo. 20 Umphristi uzakuzunguza phambi kukaJehova njengomnikelo wokuzunguza; kungcwele njalo kungokomphristi, kuhlanganisela lesifuba esizunguziweyo kanye lomlenze owethuliweyo. Ngemva kwalokho, umNaziri usenganatha iwayini.

21 “ ‘Lo ngumlayo womNaziri ofunga ngokunikela kuJehova kusiya ngokuzahlukanisela, kuyikwengeza kulokho ayabe ekwenelisile. Kagcwalise isifungo asenzileyo, ngokomlayo womNaziri.’ ”
