ISAMBULO 9

₁Ingelosi yesihlanu yayisibetha; ngase ngibona inkanyezi ivela ezulwini, iwela emhlabeni, yanikwa isihluthulelo somgodi wakwalasha.

₂Yayisivula umgodi wakwalasha; kwenyuka umusi emgodini njengomusi weziko elikhulu, kwafiphazwa ilanga nomkhathi ngomusi womgodi.

₃Kwaphuma isikhonyane emsini, seza emhlabeni, sanikwa amandla njengamandla abanawo ofezela bomhlaba.

₄Kwathiwa kuso masingoni utshani bomhlaba, nanye into eluhlaza, nowodwa umuthi, kuphela labobantu abangenalo uphawu lukaNkulunkulu emabunzini abo.

₅Sanikwa ukuba singababulali kepha sibahluphe izinyanga eziyisihlanu; nokuhlushwa kwabo kwaba-njengobuhlungu bukafezela, nxa emqosela umuntu.

₆Ngaleyomihla abantu bayakufuna ukufa, bangaze bakufumana; futhi bayakufisa ukufa, kepha ukufa kubabalekele.

₇Nesimo sesikhonyane sasifana namahashi alungiselwe ukulwa, nasemakhanda aso kukhona okunjengemiqhele efana negolide, nobuso bunjengobuso babantu;

₈futhi sasinezinwele ezinjengezinwele zabesifazane, namazinyo aso ayenjengawezingonyama,

₉sinezivikelo zezifuba njengezivikelo zensimbi, nomdumo wamaphiko aso wawunjengomdumo wezinqola zamahashi amaningi egijimela ekulweni.

₁₀Sasinemisila efana neyawofezela inezindosi, nasemisileni yaso kukhona amandla aso okona abantu izinyanga eziyisihlanu.

₁₁Sinenkosi phezu kwaso, ingelosi yakwalasha, igama layo ngesiHeberu linguAbadoni, kepha ngesiGreki inegama lokuthi uApholiyoni.

₁₂UMaye wokuqala udlulile; bheka, kuseza oMaye ababili ngasemva kwalokho.

₁₃Ingelosi yesithupha yayisibetha; ngezwa izwi livela ezimpondweni ezine zealtare legolide eliphambi kukaNkulunkulu,

₁₄lithi kuyo ingelosi yesithupha enecilongo: Thukulula izingelosi ezine eziboshwé ngasemfuleni omkhulu uEwufrathe.

₁₅Zase zithukululwa izingelosi ezine ezilungiselwe ihora, nosuku, nenyanga, nomnyaka, ukuba zibulale okwesithathu kwabantu.

₁₆Umumo wezimpi zabakhwele amahashi wawungukuphindwa kabili kwezinkulungwane eziyishumi ziphindwé kazinkulungwane eziyishumi.

₁₇Nakanjalo ngabona ngombono amahashi nabakhwele kuwo benezivikelo zezifuba, zibomvu njengomlilo nezehiyakinte* nezesibabule; namakhanda amahashi ayenjengamakhanda ezingonyama, nasemilonyeni yawo kuphuma umlilo, nomusi, nesibabule.

₁₈Ngalezozinhlupho ezintathu kwabulawa okwesithathu kwabantu ngomlilo, nangomusi, nangesibabule, okwaphuma emilonyeni yawo.

₁₉Ngokuba amandla amahashi asemilonyeni yawo nasemisileni yawo; ngokuba imisila yawo ifana nezinyoka, inamakhanda ona ngawo.

₂₀Kepha abaseleyo babantu abangabulawanga ngalezozinhlupho abaphendukanga emisebenzini yezandla zabo ukuba bangakhuleki kuwo amademoni, nezithombe zegolide, nezesiliva, nezethusi, nezamatshe, nezemithi, ezingenakho ukubona, nakuzwa, nakuhamba,

₂₁futhi abaphendukanga ekubulaleni kwabo, nasekuthakatheni kwabo, nasebufebeni babo, nasekwebeni kwabo.
