1Yiyo le imimiselo namasiko, enowagcina ukuba niwenze ezweni elo, akunika lona uYehova uThixo wooyihlo, ukuba ulimé yonke imihla enidla ngayo ubomi emhlabeni. 2Zichitheni kuphele zonke iindawo, apho iintlanga enizigqogqayo zabakhonzela khona oothixo bazo, ezintabeni eziphakamileyo, nasezindulini, naphantsi kwemithi yonke eluhlaza; 3nizidilize izibingelelo zazo, niziqhekeze izimiso zazo zamatye, nibatshise ngomlilo ooAshera• bazo, niyixakaxe imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yoothixo bazo, nilicime igama lazo kule ndawo.

Ndiya kwenjenjalo nam.
31Uze ungènjenjalo kuYehova uThixo wakho; kuba yonke into elisikizi kuYehova, ayithiyileyo, ziyenzile koothixo bazo; ngokuba kwanoonyana bazo neentombi zazo zizitshisé emlilweni koothixo bazo.
32Into yonke endisukuba ndiniwisele umthetho ngayo, ize nigcine ukuyenza; uze ungòngezi kuyo unganciphisi nto.
