₁“Njalo nje ngenyanga ya-Abibi nibowugcina niwugubhe uMkhosi weliPhasika laSimakadze Nkulunkulu wenu, ngobe ngayo lenyanga wanikhipha ebusuku eGibhithe. ₂Niyakwenta umhlatjelo weliPhasika kuSimakadze Nkulunkulu wenu ngesilwane leniyawusitsatsa emihlambini yenu yetimvu nome yetinkhomo, niwentele endzaweni Simakadze layakuyikhetsela kubeka Libito lakhe. ₃LeliPhasika ningalidli kanye nesinkhwa lesinembiliso. Kuyawuze kuphele emalanga lasikhombisa solomane nidla sinkhwa lesite imbiliso, sinkhwa selusizi, ngobe naphuma ngekuphutfuma lokukhulu eGibhithe.

₁₃“Niyawugubha uMkhosi Wemadlangala emalanga lasikhombisa emvakwekucedza kwenu kuvuna kolo nemagelebisi. ₁₄Niyawujabula eMkhosini wenu nine, nemadvodzana nemadvodzakati enu, netigcili kanye netigcilikati tenu, nemaLevi, nebetive, netintsandzane, nebafelokati labahlala emadolobheni enu. ₁₅LoMkhosi niyakuwugubha emalanga lasikhombisa kuSimakadze Nkulunkulu wenu kuleyo ndzawo Simakadze layakuyikhetsa. Ngobe Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu uyawunibusisa kuto tonkhe tivuno tenu nakuyo yonkhe imisebenti yetandla tenu, nekujabula kwenu kuyawuphelela.

₁₆“Onkhe emadvodza esive sakini kufanele ete katsatfu ngemnyaka atetibonakalisa kuSimakadze Nkulunkulu wenu kuleyo ndzawo Simakadze latayikhetsa: eMkhosini Wesinkhwa Lesingenambiliso, naseMkhosini Wemaviki, naseMkhosini Wemadlangala.

Ngibo labayakwehlulela ngekungakhetsi. ₁₉Kufanele ningawephuli umtsetfo, futsi ningabakhetsi bantfu. Akukafaneli nemukele umdizo, ngobe uphumphutsekisa emehlo alabahlakaniphile, uphambukise nemavi alabalungile. ₂₀Niyawulandzela umtsetfo wona wodvwa, nehlulele ngebucotfo bodvwa, kuze niphile nilidle lelive Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu lanipha lona.

₂₁“Aniyikumisa ngisho nayinye insika ya-Ashera welugodvo eceleni kwelilati lenilakhele Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu, ₂₂ningayimbeli nimise ngisho nensikalitje lekutsiwa ingcwele, ngobe nguloko Simakadze Nkulunkulu wenu lakutondzako.”
