U-Eksodusi 21
1 “Nansi imithetho ozayethula phambi kwabo.”
“Pea ko e ngaahi fono ʻeni, ʻaia ke ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao.
2 “Nxa ungathenga isisebenzi esingumHebheru kumele sikusebenzele okweminyaka eyisithupha. Kodwa emnyakeni wesikhombisa kuzamele usikhulule kungelanhlawulo.
Kapau te ke fakatau ha tamaioʻeiki ko e Hepelū, ko e taʻu ʻe ono te ne tauhi koe: pea ʻi hono fitu ʻe ʻalu atu tauʻatāina ia taʻetotongi.
3 Nxa sifike sodwa, kumele sikhululwe sihambe sodwa kodwa nxa silomfazi ekufikeni kwasokumele sihambe laye.
Kapau naʻe haʻu tokotaha pe, ʻe ʻalu kituaʻā tokotaha pe: kapau naʻe mali, pea ʻe ʻalu hono mali mo ia.
4 Nxa umqhatshi waso angasipha umfazi asizalele amadodana lamadodakazi, owesifazane labantwabakhe bazakuba ngabomqhatshi, njalo indoda izazihambela yodwa ikhululekile.
Kapau naʻe foaki ha mali kiate ia ʻe hono ʻeiki, pea kuo ne fānau kiate ia ʻae fānau tangata pe ʻe fānau fefine: ko e mali mo e fānau ʻe ʻa hono ʻeiki, pea te ne ʻalu tokotaha pe ia.
5 Kodwa nxa isisebenzi singathi, ‘Ngiyayithanda inkosi yami lomkami labantwabami, njalo kangifuni kukhululwa,’
Pea kapau ʻe lea totonu ʻae tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou ʻofa ki hoku ʻeiki, mo hoku mali, mo ʻeku fānau; ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ke tauʻatāina au,
6 ngakho inkosi yaso kumele isihambise kubahluleli. Izasisa emnyango kumbe emgubazini abesesibhoboza indlebe yaso ngosungulo. Ngakho-ke sizakuba yisisebenzi sayo okwempilo yaso yonke.
Pea ʻe toki ʻomi ia ʻe hono ʻeiki ki he kau fakamaau; pea ʻe ʻomi ia foki ki he matapā, pe ki he pou ʻoe matapā; pea ʻe tui hono telinga ʻe hono ʻeiki ke ʻasi ʻaki ʻae hui; pea te ne tauhi ia ʻo fai maʻuaipē.
7 Nxa indoda ingathengisa indodakazi yayo njengesigqili, indodakazi kayingakhululeki njengalokho okwenza ezinye inceku.
“Pea kapau ʻe fakatau ʻe ha tangata hono ʻofefine ke hoko ko e kaunanga, ʻe ʻikai ʻalu kituaʻā ia ʻo hangē ko e kau tamaioʻeiki.
8 Nxa singathokozisi umnini waso oyabe esikhethile ukuze sibe ngesakhe kumele asiyekele sihlengwe. Akalamvumo yokusithengisa kwabezizwe, ngoba esikhohlisile.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ʻeiki, ʻaia kuo ne fakanofo ia kiate ia, te ne toki tukuange ia ke huhuʻi ia: ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ʻene fakatau ia ki ha kakai kehe, koeʻuhi kuo fai taʻetotonu ia kiate ia.
9 Angasikhethela indodana yakhe kumele asinike amalungelo alingana lawendodakazi yakhe.
Pea kapau kuo ne fakanofo ia ki hono foha, pea te ne fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻae ʻofefine.
10 Angathatha omunye umfazi akumelanga asincitshe ukudla, izigqoko lamalungelo okwenda.
Kapau ʻoku ne toʻo kiate ia ʻae uaifi ʻe taha: ʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne fakasiʻisiʻi ʻene meʻakai, pe ko e kofu, mo e ngāue totonu ʻae uaifi.
11 Angayekela ukusipha izinto lezi ezintathu sikhululekile ukuthi sizihambele kungahlawulwanga mali.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻe tolu kiate ia, pea ʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻiate ia, ʻe tauʻatāina ia taʻetotongi.
12 “Wonke umuntu otshaya omunye ambulale laye kumele abulawe.
“Ko ia ʻoku ne tali ha tangata, pea mate ai ia, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
13 Kodwa nxa engakwenzanga ngabomo, uNkulunkulu evumele ukuba kwenzakale, kumele abalekele endaweni engizayiphawula.
Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai lamasi ia ʻe ha tangata, ka naʻe tukuange ia ʻe he ʻOtua ki hono nima; pea te u fakahā kiate koe ha potu ke hola ia ki ai.
14 Kodwa umuntu angaceba ukubulala omunye ngabomo, msuseni e-alithareni lami liyembulala.
Ka koeʻuhi kapau ʻe haʻu loto lahi ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, ke tāmateʻi ia ʻi he angakovi; te ke ʻave ia mei hoku feilaulauʻanga koeʻuhi ke mate ia.
15 Wonke umuntu ohlasela uyise kumbe unina kumele abulawe.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne taaʻi ʻene tamai, pe ko ʻene faʻē, ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.
16 Wonke umuntu othumba omunye abesemthengisa kumbe aficwe elaye kumele abulawe.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kaihaʻasi ha tangata, ʻo fakatau ia, pea kapau ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻi hono nima, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
17 Wonke umuntu othuka uyise kumbe unina kumele abulawe.
“Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia.
18 Nxa amadoda angaxabana omunye abesetshaya omunye ngelitshe kumbe ngenqindi, angafi kodwa agule alale phansi,
“Pea kapau ʻe fekuki ʻae ongo tangata, pea taaʻi ʻe he tokotaha ʻae tokotaha ʻaki ʻae maka, pe tuki ʻaki hono nima, pea ʻikai mate kae toka ai:
19 lowo ophose inqindi kasoze anikwe umlandu nxa omunye angavuka abesehambahamba ephethe intonga yakhe; lanxa kunjalo kumele ahlawule indoda elimeleyo ngokulahlekelwa yisikhathi njalo ayelaphise.
Kapau ʻe toetuʻu hake ʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻituʻa mo hono tokotoko, pea ʻe toki hao ai ʻaia naʻa ne taaʻi ia: ka ʻe totongi ia ki hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo liaki, pea te ne totongi hono fakamoʻui ke haohaoa.
20 Nxa umuntu angatshaya isigqili sakhe sesilisa kumbe esesifazane ngomqwayi, isigqili besesisifa ngenxa yalesisenzo, kumele ajeziswe,
“Kapau ʻe taaʻi ʻe ha tangata ʻene tamaioʻeiki, pe ko ʻene kaunanga ʻaki ha vaʻa ʻakau, pea mate ai ia ʻi hono nima; ko e moʻoni ʻe tautea ia.
21 kodwa kasoze ajeziswe nxa isigqili singasila ngemva kwelanga elilodwa kumbe insuku ezimbili, ngoba isigqili siyimpahla yakhe.
Ka koeʻuhi kapau ʻe moʻui ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, pe ua, ʻe ʻikai tautea ia, he ko ʻene koloa ia.
22 Nxa amadoda alwayo angatshaya umfazi ozithweleyo abesebeletha isikhathi sakhe singakafiki, kodwa engalimalanga kakubi, owonileyo kumele ahlawuliswe lokho okuyabe kubizelwe yindoda yomfazi kwasekuvunywa ngumthethwandaba.
“Kapau ʻoku fekuki ʻae ongo tangata, pea lavea ai ha fefine feitama, pea tō ai ʻene tama, pea ngata ai hono kovi: ʻe tautea moʻoni ai ʻae tangata, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻe lea ki ai ʻae mali ʻoe fefine: pea ʻe totongi ia ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae kau fakamaau.
23 Kodwa kungangabi lokulimala okubi, kumele impilo ibhadalwe ngempilo,
Pea kapau ʻe tupu ai ʻae kovi, ke ke ʻatu ʻae moʻui ke totongi ʻae moʻui.
24 ilihlo ngelihlo, izinyo ngezinyo, isandla ngesandla, unyawo ngonyawo.
Ko e mata ki he mata, ko e nifo ki he nifo, ko e nima ki he nima, ko e vaʻe ki he vaʻe,
25 Ukutshiswa ngokutshiswa, isilonda ngesilonda, ukulimala ngokulimala.
Ko e tutu ki he tutu, ko e lavea ki he lavea, mo e tā ki he tā.
26 Nxa umuntu angatshaya isigqili sakhe sesilisa kumbe esesifazane elihlweni alipatshaze, kumele asiyekele isisebenzi sizihambele kube yinhlawulo yelihlo.
“Pea kapau ʻe taaʻi ʻe ha tangata ʻae mata ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki pe ko e mata ʻo ʻene kaunanga, pea kui ai; pea ʻe tukuange ia ke ʻalu ʻataʻatā, koeʻuhi ko hono mata.
27 Angatshaya akhumule izinyo lesigqili sesilisa kumbe esesifazane, kumele asiyekele isisebenzi sizihambele kube yinhlawulo yezinyo.
Pea kapau te ne taaʻi ʻene tamaioʻeiki, pea mokulu ai ʻae nifo, pe ko e nifo ʻo ʻene kaunanga; te ne tukuange ia ke ʻalu tauʻatāina koeʻuhi ko e nifo.
28 Nxa inkunzi ingahlaba indoda kumbe umfazi afe, leyonkunzi kumele itshaywe ngamatshe ize ife njalo inyama yayo kayingadliwa. Kodwa umnikazi wenkunzi akumelanga etheswe umlandu.
“Kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe ha pulu ha tangata pe ha fefine, pea mate ai ia: ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate, pea ʻe ʻikai kai hono sino: pea ʻe ʻataʻatā ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae pulu.
29 Kodwa nxa inkunzi ivele ilomkhuba wokuhlaba abantu, njalo umnikazi eseke wakhuzwa kodwa wekela ukuyivalela ibisibulala indoda kumbe umfazi, inkunzi kumele ibulawe ngamatshe lomnikazi abulawe.
Pea kapau naʻe faʻa tui ʻe he pulu ʻaki hono meʻatui, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe hili, pea naʻe tala ia kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne noʻotaki ia, ka kuo ne tāmateʻi ha tangata, pe ha fefine; ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate ia, pea ʻe tāmateʻi mo ia ʻoku ʻaʻana.
30 Kodwa kungathiwa kahlawule, angahlenga impilo yakhe ngokuhlawula lokho okuyabe kubiziwe.
Pea kapau ʻe lau paʻanga kiate ia mo hono huhuʻi, pea te ne ʻatu ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku tala kiate ia.
31 Umthetho lo uyasebenza njalo nxa inkunzi ingahlaba indodana kumbe indodakazi.
Kapau kuo ne tuiʻi ha foha pe ha ʻofefine, ʻe fai kiate ia ʻo fakatatau ki ha fakamaau ni.
32 Nxa inkunzi ingahlaba isigqili sesilisa kumbe esesifazane, umnikazi kumele ahlawule amashekeli angamatshumi amathathu esiliva kumnini wesigqili, njalo inkunzi kumele ibulawe ngamatshe.
Kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe he pulu ha tamaioʻeiki pe ha kaunanga; ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ki heʻena ʻeiki ʻae sikeli siliva ʻe tolungofulu, pea ʻe tolongaki ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate.
33 Nxa umuntu etshiya umgodi ukhamisile, loba esimba umgodi angawusibekeli kuwele kuwo inkabi ingabe ubabhemi,
“Pea kapau ʻe tangaki ʻe ha tangata ha luo, pe kapau ʻe keli ʻe ha tangata ha luo, pea ʻikai ʻufiʻufi ia, pea tō ki ai ha pulu, pe ha ʻasi;
34 umninimgodi kahlawule; kahlawule umnikazi, isifuyo esifileyo besesisiba ngesakhe.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae luo te ne totongi ia, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻae manu; ka e ʻaʻana ʻae manu mate.
35 Nxa inkunzi yomuntu ingalimaza eyomunye kuzamele ukuthi bathengise leyo ephilayo, babelane imali lesidumbu saleyo efileyo ngokulinganayo.
Pea kapau ʻe tuiʻi ʻe ha pulu ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae pulu ʻae tangata kehe, pea mate ai ia; te na toki fakatau ʻae pulu moʻui, ʻo vaeua ʻae totongi; pea te na vaeua mo e pulu mate.
36 Kodwa nxa kusaziwa ukuthi inkunzi ivele ilomkhuba wokuhlaba ezinye, kodwa umnikazi engayivaleli esibayeni, umnikazi kumele ahlawule isifuyo ngesinye isifuyo, njalo isifuyo esifileyo sizakuba ngesakhe.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻilo, naʻe faʻa tui ʻe he pulu ʻi muʻa, pea naʻe ʻikai noʻotaki ia ʻe heʻene ʻeiki; ko e moʻoni te ne totongi ʻae pulu ʻaki ʻae pulu; pea ʻe ʻaʻana ʻae pulu mate.
