Ndebele - Deuteronomy - 23

23:1  Olimele emasendeni, loba oqunywe amaphambili, angangeni ebandleni leNkosi.

23:2  Ozelwe ngobufebe angangeni ebandleni leNkosi; ngitsho isizukulwana sakhe setshumi kasiyikungena ebandleni leNkosi.

23:3  UmAmoni lomMowabi kangangeni ebandleni leNkosi; ngitsho isizukulwana sabo setshumi kasiyikungena ebandleni leNkosi, kuze kube laphakade;

23:4  ngenxa yokuthi kabalihlangabezanga endleleni ngesinkwa langamanzi ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe; futhi ngoba baqhatsha ukumelana lawe uBalami indodana kaBeyori owePethori oweMesopotamiya ukuze akuqalekise.

23:5  Kodwa iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho kayifunanga ukuzwa uBalami; kodwa iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yaphendula isiqalekiso saba yisibusiso kuwe, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakuthanda.

23:6  Kawuyikudinga ukuthula kwabo lokuhle kwabo zonke izinsuku zakho, kuze kube laphakade.

23:7  Unganengwa ngumEdoma, ngoba ungumfowenu; unganengwa ngumGibhithe, ngoba wawungowemzini elizweni lakhe.

23:8  Abantwana abazalwa yibo, besizukulwana sesithathu sabo, bangangena ebandleni leNkosi.

23:9  Lapho inkamba iphuma ukuyamelana lezitha zakho, uzazigcina kuyo yonke into embi.

23:10  Uba ekhona phakathi kwenu umuntu ongahlambulukanga ngenxa yokungcola okwehla ebusuku, uzaphumela ngaphandle kwenkamba, angangeni phakathi kwenkamba.

23:11  Kodwa kuzakuthi sekuzakuhlwa uzageza ngamanzi, lalapho ilanga selitshonile angene aye phakathi kwenkamba.

23:12  Njalo uzakuba lendawo ngaphandle kwenkamba lapho ozaphumela khona ukuya ngaphandle,

23:13  ube lesikhonkwane ezikhalini zakho; njalo kuzakuthi usuye ngaphandle, ugebhe ngaso, uphenduke ugqibele okuphume kuwe.

23:14  Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iyahamba phakathi kwenkamba yakho, ukukukhulula, lokunikela izitha zakho phambi kwakho. Ngakho inkamba yakho izakuba ngcwele, ukuze ingaboni lutho oluyangisayo phakathi kwakho, ikufulathele.

23:15  Unganikeli enkosini yaso isigqili esibalekele kuwe sisuka enkosini yaso;

23:16  sizahlala lawe phakathi kwakho, endaweni esizayikhetha, kwelinye lamasango akho, lapho okusilungele khona; ungasicindezeli.

23:17  Kakungabi khona iwule elethempeli phakathi kwamadodakazi akoIsrayeli, njalo kakungabi khona inkotshana phakathi kwamadodana akoIsrayeli.

23:18  Ungalethi iholo lewule lemali yenja endlini yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngokwaloba yisiphi isithembiso; ngoba lokho kokubili kuyisinengiso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho.

23:19  Ungeboleki umfowenu ngenzalo, inzalo yemali, inzalo yokudla, inzalo yaloba yiyiphi into ebolekwa ngenzalo.

23:20  Ungeboleka owezizweni ngenzalo, kodwa ungeboleki umfowenu ngenzalo, ukuze iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusise kukho konke ofaka isandla sakho kukho elizweni oya kulo ukudla ilifa lalo.

23:21  Nxa uthembisa isithembiso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, ungaphuzi ukusikhokha; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho izasibiza lokusibiza kuwe; njalo kuzakuba yisono kuwe.

23:22  Kodwa uba uyekela ukuthembisa, kakuyikuba yisono kuwe.

23:23  Lokho okuphuma endebeni zakho uzakugcina ukwenze; njengokuthembisa kwakho eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, umnikelo wesihle owukhulume ngomlomo wakho.

23:24  Nxa ungena esivinini somakhelwane wakho, ungadla izithelo zevini njengokuthanda kwakho usuthe; kodwa ungafaki lutho esitsheni sakho.

23:25  Nxa ungena emabeleni amileyo kamakhelwane wakho, ungakha izikhwebu ngesandla sakho; kodwa ungangenisi isikela emabeleni amileyo kamakhelwane wakho.
