1Xa athe uYehova uThixo wakho wakungenisa kulo ilizwe, oya kulo ukuba ulimé, wanyothula iintlanga ezininzi ebusweni bakho, amaHeti, namaGirgashi, nama-Amori, namaKanan, namaPerizi, namaHivi, namaYebhusi, iintlanga ezisixhenxe, zizininzi, zinamandla kunawe, 2wazinikela kuwe uYehova uThixo wakho: uze uzixabele, uzisingele phantsi kuphele; ungenzi mnqophiso nazo, ungazisizeli. 3Uze ungendiselani nazo, intombi yakho ungayiniki unyana wakhe, intombi yakhe ungayizekeli unyana wakho; 4kuba yomtyekisa unyana wakho angandilandeli, bakhonze thixo bambi, uvuthe umsindo kaYehova kuni, akutshabalalise kamsinya.
5Ke yenjani nje kuzo: zidilizeni izibingelelo zazo, nizichithe izimiso zazo, nibaxakaxe ooAshera• bazo, niyitshise ngomlilo imifanekiso yazo eqingqiweyo. 6Ngokuba ningabantu abangcwele kuYehova uThixo wakho; úninyule uYehova uThixo wakho, ukuba nibe ngabantu abayinqobo kuye, kunabantu bonke abaphezu komhlaba. 7Akungabuninzi benu kunezinye izizwe zonke, le nto athene nca nani uYehova, waninyula; kuba nimbalwa kunezinye izizwe zonke. 8Kungokunithanda kukaYehova, kungokusigcina kwakhe isifungo abesifungele ooyihlo, le nto anikhuphe ngesandla esithe nkqi uYehova, wanikhulula ngentlawulelo endlwini yobukhoboka, esandleni sikaFaro, ukumkani waseYiputa.
9Yazi ke, ukuba uYehova uThixo wakho nguye uThixo, uThixo wenyaniso, obagcinela umnqophiso nenceba abamthandayo, abayigcinayo imithetho yakhe, ase ewakeni lesizukulwana; 10obabuyekezayo abamthiyayo ebusweni babo, ukuba abatshabalalise. Akalibali ukumbuyekeza omthiyayo; uya kumbuyekeza ebusweni bakhe. 11Wugcine ke umthetho, nemimiselo, namasiko, endikuwisela wona namhla, ukuba uwenze.
12Kothi ke ngenxa enokuba nithe naweva la mabango, nawagcina, nawenza, akugcinele umnqophiso nenceba uYehova uThixo wakho, awawufunga kooyihlo; 13akuthande, akusikelele, akwandise, asikelele nesiqhamo sesizalo sakho, neziqhamo zomhlaba wakho, ingqolowa yakho, newayini yakho entsha, neoli yakho, nenkonyana yenkomo yakho, netakane lempahla yakho emfutshane, emhlabeni lowo wawufungela ooyihlo ukuba wokunika. 14Wósikeleleka ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke; akusayi kubakho nto ingázaliyo, nokuba yindoda nokuba ngumfazi kuwe; nasezinkomeni zakho ayisayi kubakho. 15UYehova wósusa zonke izifo kuwe; nobulwelwe bonke obubi baseYiputa, obo ubaziyo, akayi kububeka kuwe; úya kububeka kubo bonke abakuthiyayo. 16Uze uzidle zonke izizwe ezo akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho; iliso lakho lingabi nanceba kuzo, ungábakhonzi oothixo bazo; ngokuba ngumgibe lowo kuwe.
17Xa uthe entliziyweni yakho, Ezi ntlanga zininzi kunam, ndinokuthini na ukuzigqogqa? uze ungazoyiki. 18Khumbula kakuhle awakwenzayo uYehova uThixo wakho kuFaro nakumaYiputa onke; 19izilingo ezikhulu azibonileyo amehlo akho, nemiqondiso, nezimanga, nesandla esithe nkqi, nengalo eyolukileyo, awakukhupha ngazo uYehova uThixo wakho. Úya kwenjenjalo uYehova uThixo wakho kuzo zonke izizwe ozoyikayo. 20Ngaphezu koko, uYehova uThixo wakho uya kuthuma oonomeva kuzo, zide ezo ziselayo, zizisithelisayo ebusweni bakho, zibhubhe. 21Uze ungangcangcazeli ebusweni bazo; ngokuba uYehova uThixo wakho phakathi kwakho nguThixo omkhulu, owoyikekayo.
22UYehova uThixo wakho uya kuzinyothula ezi ntlanga ebusweni bakho, kancinane, kancinane. Akuyi kuba nako ukuziphelisa kamsinya, hleze ande akongamele amarhamncwa asendle. 23UYehova uThixo wakho wozinikela kuwe, azidungadunge ngodungadungo olukhulu, zide zitshatyalaliswe; 24abanikele ookumkani bazo esandleni sakho, ulicime igama labo phantsi kwezulu. Akuyi kuma mntu ebusweni bakho, ude uzitshabalalise zona. 25Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yoothixo bazo woyitshisa ngomlilo; uze ungayinqweneli isilivere negolide ekuzo, ungayithabatheli kuwe, ibe ngumgibe; ngokuba lisikizi kuYehova uThixo wakho. 26Uze ungalingenisi isikizi endlwini yakho, ukuze ungabi yinto yokusingelwa phantsi njengálo. Ize ibe nezothe, ibe linyala kuwe, ibe lisikizi kuwe, ngokuba yinto yokusingelwa phantsi.
