Iziyalo nezilumkiso
1Ngawo la amazwi omnqophiso, awamwisela uMoses umthetho ngawo uYehova, ukuba awenze noonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni lakwaMowabhi, ngaphandle komnqophiso awawenzayo nabo eHorebhe.
2UMoses wawabiza amaSirayeli onke, wathi kuwo, Nikubonile konke akwenzileyo uYehova emehlweni enu ezweni laseYiputa, kuFaro, nakubakhonzi bakhe bonke, nakwilizwe lakhe lonke; 3izilingo ezikhulu azibonileyo amehlo akho, eziyimiqondiso nezimanga ezikhulu. 4Ke akaninikanga uYehova intliziyo yokwazi, namehlo okubona, neendlebe zokuva, unanamhla.
5Ndinihambisile iminyaka engamashumi amané entlango. Iingubo zenu azonakalanga bubudala, zinishiye; neembadada zakho azonakalanga ziphele ezinyaweni zakho; 6anidlanga sonka, aniselanga wayini nasiselo sinxilisayo, ukuze nazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu. 7Nafika kule ndawo, waphuma uSihon ukumkani waseHeshbhon, no-Ogi ukumkani waseBhashan, basihlangabeza ngemfazwe, sababulala; 8salithabatha ilizwe labo salinika amaRubhen, namaGadi, nesiqingatha sesizwe sakwaManase, ukuba libe lilifa. 9Wagcineni ke amazwi alo mnqophiso, niwenze, ukuze nikwenze ngengqiqo konke eniya kukwenza.
10Nimi namhla nonke niphela phambi koYehova uThixo wenu; iintloko zenu, nezizwe zenu, namadoda amakhulu akowenu, nababhali benu, onke amadoda akwaSirayeli, 11nabantwana benu, nabafazi benu, nomphambukeli ophakathi komzi wakho, kuthabathela kogawula iinkuni zakho, kuse kokha amanzi akho; 12ukuba ungène emnqophisweni kaYehova uThixo wakho, asesifungweni sakhe, asenzayo uYehova uThixo wakho nawe namhla; 13ukuze animise namhla nibe ngabantu kuye, yena abe nguThixo kuni, njengoko wakuthethayo kuni, njengoko wakufungayo kooyihlo, ooAbraham noIsake noYakobi.
14Andiwenzi nani nedwa lo mnqophiso nesi sifungo; 15ndiwenza nomiyo apha nathi namhla phambi koYehova uThixo wethu, kwanongekhoyo apha nathi namhla. 16Ngokuba nina niyakwazi ukuhlala kwethu ezweni laseYiputa, nokucanda kwethu phakathi kweentlanga enacanda kuzo; 17nazibona izinto zazo ezinezothe, nezigodo ezizizithixo zazo, imithi namatye, isilivere negolide, ezinazo: 18hleze kubekho kuni ndoda, namfazi, namzalwane, nasizwe, sintliziyo ijikayo namhla, imke kuYehova uThixo wethu, iye kukhonza oothixo bezo ntlanga; hleze kubekho kuni ingcambu ezele ubuhlungu nomhlonyane; 19kuthi, ekuweveni kwakhe amazwi esi sishwabulo, azisikelele entliziyweni yakhe, esithi, Ndoba noxolo; ngokuba ndihamba ebungqoleni bentliziyo yam, ukuze kuphetshethwe osele wahlutha kwanonxaniweyo. 20UYehova akasayi kuvuma ukumxolela; wosuka uqhume umsindo kaYehova nekhwele lakhe kuloo ndoda, silale phezu kwayo sonke isishwabulo esibhaliweyo kule ncwadi, alicime uYehova igama layo phantsi kwezulu. 21Wóyahlulela uYehova okubi ezizweni zonke zamaSirayeli, ngokwezishwabulo zonke zomnqophiso obhaliweyo encwadini yalo myalelo.
22Sóthi isizukulwana esisemva kwenu, oonyana benu abaya kuvela emva kwenu nowolunye uhlanga ovela ezweni elikude, bazibone izibetho zelo lizwe, nezifo zalo uYehova azihlisileyo kulo: 23isulfure netyuwa, litshile lonke ilizwe lakhona, lingàhlwayelwa, lingahlumi nto, lingaphumi tyani; linjengokubhukuqwa kweSodom neGomora, iAdama neTsebhoyim, awazibhukuqayo uYehova ngomsindo wakhe nangobushushu bakhe.
24Zothi ke zonke iintlanga, Kungenxa yantoni na, ukuba uYehova enjenje kweli lizwe? Kuyini na ukuvutha kwaló msindo mkhulu kangaka? 25Kuthiwe, Kungokuba bewushiyile umnqophiso kaYehova uThixo wooyise, áwawenza nabo ekubakhupheni kwakhe ezweni laseYiputa. 26Baya bakhonza thixo bambi, babanqula, oothixo abangabaziyo, abengababelanga yena. 27Wavutha ke umsindo kaYehova kwelo zwe, ukuba kuziswe phezu kwalo zonke iziqalekiso ezibhaliweyo kule ncwadi; 28uYehova wabanyothula emhlabeni wabo ngomsindo, nangobushushu, nangoburhalarhume obukhulu, wabaphosa zweni limbi, njengoko kunjalo namhla.
29Izinto ezisitheleyo zezikaYehova uThixo wethu; izinto ezityhilekileyo zezethu, nezoonyana bethu kude kuse ephakadeni, ukuze siwenze onke amazwi alo myalelo.
