25 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi:
2 “Tjela ema-Israyeli kutsi abekele eceleni iminikelo latayiletsa kimi, bese wena kanye nebaholi balesive niya kubo bonkhe bantfu labanenhlitiyo levumako, nitsatse leminikelo yami.+
3 Nayi iminikelo lokufanele niyitsatse kubo: ligolide,+ lisiliva,+ litfusi,+
4 intsambo leluhlata njengesibhakabhaka, insontfo lebukhwebeletane,* indvwangu lebovu, ilineni lecolisakele, boya bembuti,
5 tikhumba tetimvu letidaywe taba bovu, tikhumba tetilwane,* sigodvo sesihlahla semgamba,+
6 emafutsa etibane,+ ibhalisamu yekwenta emafutsa ekugcoba,*+ imphepho leneliphunga lelimnandzi,+
7 ematje e-oniksi kanye nalamanye ematje lokufanele kuhlotjiswe ngawo sidziya+ nesembatfo sesifuba.+
8 Kufanele bangentele indzawo lengcwele, futsi ngitawuhlala emkhatsini wabo.+
9 Kufanele wente lithende lekukhontela* kanye nato tonkhe tintfo letikulo ulandzela lendlela* lengikukhombisa yona njengobe injalo.+
10 “Ubowenta libhokisi ngesigodvo sesihlahla semgamba, libe ngemasentimitha langaba ngu-111* budze, emasentimitha langaba ngu-66* bubanti kanye nemasentimitha langaba ngu-66* kuphakama.+
11 Ubolinameka ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe.+ Utawulinameka ngeligolide ngephandle nangekhatsi, futsi ekugcineni kwalo ufake libhande lelingumhlobiso lelentiwe ngeligolide.+
12 Kufanele wente emajiva lamane ngeligolide bese uwafaka ngenhla kwetinyawo talo letine. Emajiva lamabili atawuba ngenhlanye nalawa lamanye lamabili abe ngenhlanye.
13 Ubokwenta netindvuku ngesigodvo sesihlahla semgamba bese utinameka ngeligolide.+
14 Letindvuku kufanele utifake kuletimbobo talamajiva langala nangale kwaleLibhokisi kuze niliphakamise ngato.
15 Ningatikhiphi kulamajiva aleLibhokisi, kufanele tihlale tikuwo.+
16 KuleLibhokisi ubofaka tibhelekece tematje letibufakazi lengitakunika tona.+
17 “Kufanele wente nesimbonyo ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe, sibe ngemasentimitha langaba ngu-111 budze nemasentimitha langaba ngu-66 bubanti.+
18 Kufanele wente nemakherubhi lamabili ngeligolide, uwente* abe ngetulu kwalesimbonyo, lelinye libe ngala lelinye libe ngale.+
19 Lamakherubhi akabe semaphetselweni omabili alesimbonyo, lelinye libe ngala lelinye libe ngale kwaso.
20 Kufanele avule timphiko tawo tibuke etulu, asibekele lesimbonyo ngaletimphiko,+ futsi abukane. Buso bawo kufanele bubuke phansi kulesimbonyo.
21 Lesimbonyo+ utasibeka etikwaleLibhokisi, ekhatsi kwalo ufake letibhelekece tematje letibufakazi lengitakunika tona.
22 Ngitawubonakala kuwe lapho futsi ngikhulume nawe ngisetikwalesimbonyo,+ ngikunikete nayo yonkhe imitsetfo lokufanele uyitjele ema-Israyeli, ngibe ngisemkhatsini walamakherubhi lamabili lasetikwalelibhokisi leBufakazi.
23 “Kufanele wente nelitafula+ ngesigodvo sesihlahla semgamba, libe ngemasentimitha langaba ngu-89* budze, emasentimitha langaba ngu-45* bubanti nemasentimitha langaba ngu-66* kuphakama.+
24 Kufanele ulinameke ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe, emaphetselweni alo ufake umhlobiso lowentiwe ngeligolide.
25 Ubokwenta nelibhande lelilingana nebubanti besandla* bese ufaka nemhlobiso weligolide lotungeleta ngephansi kwalelibhande.
26 Ubokwenta emajiva lamane ngeligolide bese uwafaka emakoneni alo lamane, lapho kufakwe khona tinyawo talo letine.
27 Lamajiva kufanele asondzele kulelibhande kuze kufakwe kuwo tindvuku lokutawuphakanyiswa ngato lelitafula.
28 Letindvuku ubotenta ngesigodvo sesihlahla semgamba bese utinameka ngeligolide. Lelitafula nitawuliphakamisa ngato.
29 “Utawukwenta titja talelitafula, tindzebe talo, kanye netindziwo netindishi lokutawutfululwa ngato iminikelo yalokunatfwako. Konkhe kufanele kwentiwe ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe.+
30 Ubobeka sinkhwa* njalo embikwami sibe kulelitafula.+
31 “Kufanele wente lutsi lwesibane+ ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe. Lolutsi lwesibane kufanele lwentiwe ngesandvo. Sisekelo salo, sicu, emagala, timbali, imidvumba yalo kanye nemacembe langephansi kwaletimbali, konkhe kutawuba yintfo yinye.+
32 Lolutsi lwesibane lutawuba nemagala lasitfupha, ngenhlanye kube nalamatsatfu kuphindze kube nalamanye lamatsatfu ngenhlanye.
33 Ligala ngalinye kulawa lamatsatfu langenhlanye kufanele libe netimbali letintsatfu letimise kwetimbali te-alimondi, nguleyo naleyo mbali ibe nemidvumba kanye nemacembe ngephansi kwayo. Nakulawa lamanye emagala lamatsatfu langenhlanye, ngalinye kufanele libe netimbali letintsatfu letimise kwetimbali te-alimondi, nguleyo naleyo mbali ibe nemidvumba kanye nemacembe ngephansi kwayo. Atawuba njalo-ke lamagala lasitfupha lasuka kulesicu salolutsi lwesibane.
34 Kulesicu salolutsi lwesibane kufanele kube netimbali letine letimise kwetimbali te-alimondi, nguleyo naleyo mbali itawuba nemidvumba kanye nemacembe ngephansi kwayo.
35 Kufanele kube nemdvumba munye ngephansi kwemagala lamabili ekucala laphuma kulesicu, kube nalomunye umdvumba ngephansi kwemagala lamabili lalandzelako kanye nalomunye umdvumba ngephansi kwemagala lamabili ekugcina, kuwo onkhe lamagala lasitfupha laphuma kulesicu.
36 Lemidvumba nalamagala kanye nalo lonkhe lolutsi lwesibane kutawuba yintfo yinye leyentiwe* ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe.+
37 Lolutsi lwesibane kufanele ulwente lube netibane letingu-7, futsi nasetikhanyisiwe titawukhanyisa lendzawo lesembikwalo.+
38 Tindlawu kanye netitja talo tekufaka emalahle kufanele tentiwe ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe.+
39 Lolutsi lwesibane kanye nako konkhe lokuhambisana nalo kufanele kwentiwe ngeligolide lelicwengisisiwe lelinesisindvo selithalenta.*
40 Ciniseka kutsi konkhe ukwenta ulandzela lendlela lengikukhombise yona entsabeni.+
