Lesifo nasibonakala sesiphelile futsi singakandzi emtimbeni walomuntfu, lomphristi utamsusa emkhatsini webantfu, achubeke ahleli yedvwa lamanye emalanga langu-7.  “Umphristi utawuphindze amhlolisise ngelilanga lesi-7. Nangabe lesifo sesiphelile futsi singakandzi emtimbeni walomuntfu, lomphristi utawukusho kutsi uhlantekile,+ bekumane kusilondza nje. Lomuntfu utawubese uwasha tingubo takhe, abe ngulohlantekile.  Kodvwa nangabe lesilondza* sandzile emtimbeni walomuntfu ngemuva kwekutsi ete kumphristi kuze kushiwo kutsi sewuhlantekile, kufanele aphindze* abuyele kumphristi.  Umphristi utawusihlolisisa, futsi nangabe lesilondza sesandzile emtimbeni walomuntfu, lomphristi utawukusho kutsi ungcolile. Lesi sifo sebulephelo.+  “Nangabe umuntfu aba nebulephelo, kufanele aletfwe kumphristi, 10  futsi lomphristi utamhlolisisa.+ Nakavuvuka futsi kumhlophe lapho avuvuke khona, neboya lobulapho sebugucuke baba mhlophe futsi sekunesilondza lesivulekile,+ 11  loko kusuke kubulephelo lobusolo bungapheli. Umphristi utawukusho kutsi lomuntfu ungcolile. Kufanele angamsusi emkhatsini walabanye bantfu+ ngobe ungcolile. 12  Nangabe lobulephelo bandza bugcwala kuwo wonkhe umtimba, kusuka enhloko kuya etinyaweni, konkhe lapho kubona khona umphristi, 13  futsi umphristi sekamhlolisisile, wabona kutsi lobulephelo sebugcwele kuso sonkhe sikhumba sakhe, utawubese uyasho kutsi lomuntfu uhlantekile.* Sonkhe sikhumba sakhe sesigucuke saba mhlophe, ngako uhlantekile. 14  Kodvwa nakuvela silondza lesivulekile esikhumbeni sakhe, lomuntfu utawuba ngulongcolile. 15  Umphristi nakabona lesilondza lesivulekile, utawusho kutsi lomuntfu ungcolile.+ Lesilondza singcolile, futsi lesi sifo sebulephelo.+ 16  Kodvwa nangabe lesilondza siphindze sigucuka siba mhlophe, lomuntfu kufanele ete kumphristi. 17  Umphristi utamhlolisisa,+ futsi nangabe lesilondza sesigucuke saba mhlophe, utawubese uyasho kutsi lomuntfu uhlantekile. 18  “Nakwenteka umuntfu avelwa litfumba bese liyaphola, 19  kodvwa kuleyondzawo avuvuke futsi kube mhlophe nobe kuvele libala lelibovu sakuba mhlophe, lomuntfu kufanele aye kumphristi. 20  Umphristi utamhlolisisa,+ futsi nangabe loko lokuvelile kungene ekhatsi enyameni, neboya lobukuleyo ndzawo sebugucuke baba mhlophe, lomphristi utawukusho kutsi lomuntfu ungcolile. Lesi sifo sebulephelo lesivele lapho bekunelitfumba khona. 21  Kodvwa nangabe umphristi amhlolisisa futsi abona kutsi kute boya lobugucuke baba mhlophe, nekutsi loko lokuvelile akukangeni ekhatsi enyameni kantsi futsi sekuyaphela, lomphristi utamsusa emkhatsini webantfu, ahlale yedvwa emalanga langu-7.+ 22  Nangabe-ke kubonakala sekwandzile esikhumbeni salomuntfu, umphristi utawukusho kutsi lomuntfu ungcolile. Lesi sifo sebulephelo. 23  Kodvwa nangabe lelibala solo lisendzaweni yinye futsi lingakandzi, loko kumane kukuvuvuka kwalelitfumba, ngako umphristi utawukusho kutsi lomuntfu uhlantekile.+ 24  “Nangabe umuntfu aba nesibati sekusha, bese kulesibati kuvela libala lelibovu sakuba mhlophe nobe kuvele libala lelimhlophe, 25  umphristi utalihlolisisa. Nangabe boya lobukulelibala sebugucuke baba mhlophe futsi lelibala libonakala lingene ekhatsi enyameni, loko kutawube kubulephelo lobuvele kulesibati. Umphristi utawusho kutsi lomuntfu ungcolile. Lesi sifo sebulephelo. 26  Kodvwa nangabe umphristi alihlolisisa abone kutsi kute boya lobugucuke baba mhlophe nekutsi lelibala alikangeni ekhatsi enyameni, kantsi futsi seliyaphela, utawubese uyamsusa emkhatsini webantfu, ahlale yedvwa emalanga langu-7.+ 27  Umphristi utamhlolisisa ngelilanga lesi-7. Nakubonakala kutsi lelibala selandzile emtimbeni, utawukusho kutsi lomuntfu ungcolile. Lesi sifo sebulephelo. 28  Kodvwa nangabe lelibala solo lisendzaweni yinye, lingandzi emtimbeni futsi seliphela, loko kusuke kukuvuvuka nje kwalesibati. Umphristi utawukusho kutsi lomuntfu uhlantekile ngobe bekumane kukuvuvuka kwesibati. 29  “Nangabe umuntfu lomdvuna nobe lomsikati avelwa silondza enhloko nobe esilevini, 30  umphristi utasihlolisisa.+ Nangabe sibonakala singene ekhatsi enyameni, netinwele letikuso setimtfubi futsi setitincane, umphristi utawukusho kutsi lomuntfu ungcolile. Lesi silondza lesivele enhloko nome esilevini futsi kusuke kusifo sebulephelo lesisenhloko nobe esilevini. 31  Kodvwa umphristi nakabona kutsi lesilondza asikangeni ekhatsi enyameni nekutsi kute tinwele letimnyama kuso, lomuntfu utamsusa emkhatsini webantfu, ahlale yedvwa emalanga langu-7.+ 32  Umphristi utasihlolisisa ngelilanga lesi-7.

Umphristi utawubese uyamsusa emkhatsini webantfu, ahlale yedvwa emalanga langu-7. 34  “Ngelilanga lesi-7, umphristi utawuphindze ahlolisise lendzawo lenesilondza. Nangabe lesilondza lesisenhloko nobe esilevini singakandzi futsi singakangeni ekhatsi enyameni, lomphristi utawusho kutsi lomuntfu uhlantekile. Lomuntfu kufanele awashe tingubo takhe, abe ngulohlantekile. 35  Kodvwa lesilondza nasibonakala sandzile ngemuva kwekutsi sekutsiwe uhlantekile, 36  lomphristi utamhlolisisa, futsi nangabe lesilondza sesandzile, lomphristi akudzingeki abuke kutsi tikhona yini tinwele letimtfubi kuso. Lomuntfu usuke angcolile. 37  Kodvwa nangabe ngemuva kwekuhlolwa kubonakala kutsi lesilondza asikandzi nekutsi kukhule tinwele letimnyama kuso, sisuke sesipholile. Lomuntfu usuke angakangcoli futsi umphristi utawukusho kutsi uhlantekile.+ 38  “Nakwenteka umuntfu lomdvuna nobe lomsikati avela emabala esikhumbeni* sakhe futsi lamabala amhlophe, 39  umphristi kufanele awahlolisise.+ Nangabe lamabala amhloshana, kusuke kukucubuka lokungasikubi lokuvele esikhumbeni sakhe. Lomuntfu uhlantekile. 40  “Nangabe umuntfu aphelelwa tinwele enhloko aze abe nemphandla, loyo muntfu uhlantekile. 41  Tinwele takhe natiphela ngembili kuze kube nemphandla, loyo muntfu uhlantekile. 42  Kodvwa nangabe kuvela silondza lesibovu sakuba mhlophe lapho kunemphandla khona nobe ebuntini lakhe, loko kusuke kubulephelo lobuvele enhloko nobe ebunti. 43  Umphristi utamhlolisisa, futsi nangabe lesilondza lesisenhloko lapho kunemphandla khona nobe ebuntini lakhe sivuvuka, sibe bovu sakuba mhlophe siphindze sibonakale sibulephelo, 44  loyo muntfu usuke anesifo sebulephelo futsi ungcolile. Umphristi utawukusho kutsi lomuntfu ungcolile ngenca yesifo lesisenhloko yakhe. 45  Tingubo talomuntfu lonalesifo sebulephelo kufanele tidzatjulwe, netinwele takhe atiyekele futsi ambonye emadzevu akhe bese uyamemeta utsi: ‘Ngingcolile, ngingcolile!’ 46  Lomuntfu utawuba ngulongcolile yingci nje nakasenalesifo. Njengobe angcolile, kufanele ahlale yedvwana. Utawuhlala endzaweni lengaphandle kwalapho kuhlalwa khona.+ 47  “Nangabe lesifo sebulephelo sendlulela emphahleni, kungaba nguleyentiwe ngeboya nobe ngelineni, 48  futsi sibonakale emitiyeni yengubo yelineni nobe yeboya, nobe esikhumbeni nobe entfweni leyentiwe ngesikhumba, 49  bese kuba nelibala lelimtfubi sakuba luhlata nobe libala lelibovana lalesifo emphahleni, esikhumbeni, emitiyeni yengubo, nakunobe yini leyentiwe ngesikhumba, loko kusuke kubulephelo futsi leyontfo kufanele iletfwe kumphristi. 50  Umphristi utasihlolisisa lesifo. Leyontfo lenalesifo kufanele ayisuse emkhatsini webantfu, ayibeke yodvwa emalanga langu-7.+ 51  Nangabe ayihlola ngelilanga lesi-7, kodvwa atfole kutsi lesifo sesigcwele kulengubo, nobe emitiyeni yayo nobe kulesikhumba (ngisho nobe lesikhumba sisetjentiselwa ini), lesifo sebulephelo sisuke sisibi, futsi leyontfo ingcolile.+ 52  Umphristi kufanele ashise lengubo nobe imitiya yengubo leyentiwe ngeboya nobe ngelineni kanye nanobe yini leyentiwe ngesikhumba lenalesifo sebulephelo, ngobe lesifo sisuke sisibi. Leyontfo kufanele ishiswe ngemlilo. 53  “Kodvwa nangabe umphristi ayihlola futsi atfola kutsi lesifo asikagcwali kulengubo nobe kulemitiya yayo nobe kuleyontfo leyentiwe ngesikhumba, 54  lomphristi utawutsi leyontfo ayiwashwe. Utawubese uyayisusa emkhatsini webantfu, ayibeke yodvwa lamanye emalanga langu-7. 55  Umphristi utawuphindze ayihlolisise leyontfo naseyiwashisisiwe. Nangabe lesifo sibonakala singakashintji, ngisho nobe singakagcwali kuleyontfo, isuke ingcolile. Kufanele ishiswe ngemlilo ngobe idleke ngekhatsi nobe ngephandle. 56  “Kodvwa nangabe umphristi asayihlolile lendzawo lebeyinalesifo futsi watfola kutsi seyincono ngemuva kwekutsi iwashisisiwe, utawubese uyayidzabula ayisuse kulengubo nobe kulesikhumba nobe kulemitiya yalengubo. 57  Kodvwa lesifo nasivela kulenye indzawo kulengubo nobe kulemitiya yayo nakunobe yini leyentiwe ngesikhumba, lesifo sisuke sesandza, futsi nobe yini lenalesifo kufanele ishiswe ngemlilo.+ 58  Nangabe lesifo sesiphelile kulengubo nobe kulemitiya yayo nakunobe yini leyentiwe ngesikhumba leseyiwashiwe, leyontfo kufanele iphindze iwashwe kwesibili bese iba ngulehlantekile. 59  “Lona ngumtsetfo lotawusetjentiswa lomayelana nesifo sebulephelo lesisengutjeni leyentiwe ngeboya nobe ngelineni, nobe emitiyeni yayo nakunobe yini leyentiwe ngesikhumba, kuze kushiwo kutsi leyontfo ihlantekile nobe ingcolile.”
