Wathi kuzo : Lokhu kuyikho uJehova akukhulumileyo : kusasa kulusuku lokuphumula, isabatha elingcwele likaJehova ; yosani lokho eniyakukosa , nipheke lokho eniyakukupheka , nizibekele konke okuseleyo , kulondolozwe kuze kuse.

Bhekani, njengalokho uJehova eniphile isabatha , ngalokho uyaninika ngosuku lwesithupha isinkwa sezinsuku ezimbili ; hlalani, kube yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe , kungaphumi muntu endaweni yakhe ngosuku lwesikhombisa.

Gcinani isabatha , ngokuba lingcwele kini ; yilowo nalowo olo nayo uyakubulawa nokubulawa , ngokuba osebenza umsebenzi ngalo uyakunqunywa kubantu bakubo.

Ngalokho abakwa-Israyeli bayakuligcina isabatha, balilonde ezizukulwaneni zabo libe yisivumelwano esiphakade.

Kuyakuba yisabatha lokuphumula okuzothileyo kini , nithobise imiphefumulo yenu ; ngolwesishiyagalolunye lwenyanga kusihlwa , kusukela kusihlwa kuze kube kusihlwa, anogcina isabatha lenu.

Yisho kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: Nxa nifika ezweni engininika lona, izwe liyakumgcinela uJehova isabatha.

kepha ngomnyaka wesikhombisa kuyakuba khona isabatha lokuphumula okuzothileyo kwezwe , isabatha kuye uJehova ; awuyikulima insimu ya kho, ungatheni isivini sakho.

Isabatha lezwe liyakuba ngukudla kwenu , okwakho nokwenceku yakho nokwencekukazi yakho nokomqashwa wakho nokomfokazi wakho ogogobeleyo kuwe;

Kepha wathi: Uyelani kuye namuhla na? Akusilo olokwethwasa kwenyanga, akusilo isabatha. Wathi: Kahle.

ukuba ligcwaliseke izwi likaJehova ngomlomo kaJeremiya , lize laneliswe izwe ngamasabatha alo sonke isikhathi liyincithakalo laligcina isabatha kuze kugcwaliswe iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa. Isimemezelo sikaKoresi

wabazisa isabatha lakho elingcwele , wabayala ngemiyalo , nangezimiso, nangomthetho ngesandla sikaMose inceku yakho;

Abenzanga kanjalo oyihlo , noNkulunkulu wenu akehl iselanga yini phezu kwenu konke lokho okubi , naphezu kwalo muzi, na? Nokho nina niyenezela intukuthelo phezu kuka-Israyeli ngokulona isabatha.

Kwathi lapho amasango aseJerusalema eseqala ukuba mnyama lingakafiki isabatha, ngathi mazivalwe izivalo , ngathi futhi mazingavulwa lize lidlule isabatha, ngabeka ezinye izinceku zami ngasemasangweni ukuba kungangeniswa mthwalo ngosuku lwesabatha.

Ubusisiwe umuntu owenza lokhu, nendodana yomuntu ebambelela kukho , ogcina isabatha engaloni , osibamba isandla sakh e ukuba singenzi nakuphi okubi.

Nabezizwe abazihlanganisa noJehov a ukumkhonza uJehova nokulithanda igama likaJehov a ukuba babe yizinceku zakh e bonke abaligcina isabatha , bangaloni, nababambelela esivumelwaneni sami,

Uma ulubuyisa unyawo lwakho kulo isa batha, ukuze ungenzi umsebenzi wakho ngosuku lwami olungcwele, ulibize isabatha ngokuthi intokozo , nolungcwele lukaJehova ngokuthi lunodumo , uludumise, ungahambi ngezindlela zakho, ungawuqhubi umsebenzi wakho, ukhulume ize,

Kusukela ekwethwaseni kwenyanga kuye kwenye, kusukela kwelinye isabatha kuye kwelinye yonke inyama iyakufika ukukhuleka phambi kwami , usho uJehova.

Mababe namahloni abangizingelayo , kepha mina mangingabi nawo ; baphele amandla bona , mina ngingaphe li wona kodwa ; behlisele usuku lobubi, ubaphule ngokwaphula okuphindiweyo. Isabatha

Ekuphikisaneni bayakuma ukwahlulela , bakwahlulele njengezahlulelo zami, bagcine imith etho yami nezimiso zami emikhosini yonke yami , balingcwelise isabatha lami.

Futhi anifundanga yini emthethweni ukuthi ngesabatha abapristi bayalona isabatha ethempelini, bangabi nacala, na?

Wayesethi kubo : Isabatha lenzelwa umuntu , umuntu akenzelwanga isabatha.

Sekufikile isabatha, waqala ukufundisa esinagogeni . Abaningi abamuzwayo bamangala bathi: Lo ukuthathaphi lokhu na? Ukuhlakanipha kuni akunikiwe lona na? Nemisebenzi yamandla enje yenziwe ngezandla zakhe na?

Kwathi ukuba kuhlwe , ngokuba kwakulusuku lokulungisela okungukuthi olwandulela isabatha,

Selidlulile isabatha , oMariya Magd alena, noMariya unina kaJakobe , noSalome bathenga amakha ukuba beze bamgcobe.

Kwathi-ke ngelinye isabatha wangena esinagogeni , wafundisa. Kwakukhona umuntu lapho osandla sakhe sokunene sasishwabene.

Kwakulusuku lokulungisela; isabatha lase lizakuqala.

Ngakho abanye kubaFarisi bathi : Lona kaveli kuNkulunkulu , lokhu engagcini isabatha . Abanye bathi : Umuntu oyisoni angazenza kanjani izibonakaliso ezinje na? Kwaba khona ukwahlukana phakathi kwabo.
