Imizi yokusabela
1Xa athe uYehova uThixo wakho wazinqumla iintlanga ezo akunika ilizwe lazo uYehova uThixo wakho, wazigqogqa wena, wahlala emizini yazo nasezindlwini zazo: 2wòzahlulela imizi emithathu phakathi kwelizwe lakho, akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho ukuba ulimé; 3uzilungisele indlela, uwahlule ube zahlulo zithathu umda welizwe lakho, aya kukudlisa ilifa lalo uYehova uThixo wakho, ukuze bonke ababulali basabele khona.
4Lilo eli isiko awophathwa ngalo umbulali, othe wasabela khona ukuba asinde: Othe wambulala ummelwane wakhe ngengozi, ebengamthiyile ngaphambili; 5waya nommelwane wakhe ehlathini, esiya kugawula imithi, isandla sakhe sajiwula izembe, enqumla imithi, yaphunyuka intsimbi emphinini, yabetha kummelwane wakhe, wafa: lowo wosabela komnye umzi kuloo mizi, asinde; 6hleze umphindezeli wegazi amsukele umbulali lowo, kuba ishushu intliziyo yakhe, amfumane ngokuba nde kwendlela, ambulale afe; engafanele kufa, kuba ebengamthiyile ngaphambili. 7Ngenxa yoko ndikuwisela umthetho, ndisithi, Wòzahlulela imizi emithathu.
8Ke ukuba uYehova uThixo wakho uthe wawenza banzi umda wakho, njengoko wafungayo kooyihlo, wakunika lonke elo zwe, awathi wobanika lona ooyihlo; 9xa uthe wawugcina ukuba uwenze, lo mthetho wonke ndikuwisela wona namhla, ukuba umthande uYehova uThixo wakho, uhambe ngeendlela zakhe imihla yonke; ùsaya kuyongeza imizi ibe mithathu kule mithathu; 10ukuze kungaphalazwa gazi lingenatyala phakathi kwelizwe lakho, akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho ukuba libe lilifa, amagazi abe phezu kwakho.
11Xa athe umntu wamthiya ummelwane wakhe, wamlalela, wamvunukela, wambulala, wafa; wasabela komnye umzi kuloo mizi; 12amadoda amakhulu omzi wakhe othumela, amthabathe khona, amnikele esandleni somphindezeli wegazi, ambulale, afe. 13Ze lingabi nanceba iliso lakho kuye; wòlitshayela ke igazi elingenatyala, lingabikho kwaSirayeli, kulúnge kuwe.
