₁“Akuba ke *uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho ezitshabalalisile ezo zizwe zimhlaba wazo awupha wena, naza nazigxotha nema kwiidolophu zazo ngokunjalo nemizi yazo, _2-3lahlule kathathu elo lizwe, kummandla ngamnye ukhethe idolopu efikeleleka lula, uzilungise iindlela eziya kuyo. Úya kuthi ke umntu obulele omnye abe nokuphephela kwenye yazo, afumane ukukhuseleka. ₄Inkqubo iya kuhamba ngolu hlobo: Umntu obulele omnye ngengozi, engelotshaba lwakhe, wobalekela kwenye yazo ukuze asinde. ₅Ukuba abantu ababini baphumile baya kutheza ehlathini, waza ke wathi omnye wabo esagawula umthi lasuka lapoqa izembe lakhe laza lamenzakalisa wafa omnye lowo, lo ebegawula makaphephele kwenye yezo dolophu ukuzisindisa. ₆Xa umgama ekufuneka uhanjwe ngulowo ubalekayo umde, isizalwane esingumphindezeli soba nako ukumfumana lo ubuleleyo engekafiki, simbulale nakuba engenatyala yena ngokwakhe. Andithi na kaloku umbulele ngengozi lo mntu engelotshaba lwakhe! ₇Kungenxa yeso sizathu ke le nto ndikuyalela ukuba umise iidolophu zibe ntathu.

₈“Xa uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho ethe walandisa elo lizwe lakho, wakongezela wonke umhlaba awuthembise ookhokho bakho efunga, ₉kofuneka uphinde ukhethe nezinye iidolophu zibe ntathu. Uzukwenze ke konke endikuyaleleyo namhlanje, ubonakalise ukumthanda uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho, uhlale uziphatha ngokweemfundiso zakhe. ₁₀Ezi dolophu ziyimfuneko, khon' ukuze abantu abamsulwa bangabi loxhoba lokubulawa kwelo lizwe uliphiwa nguNdikhoyo uThixo wakho.

₁₁“Kambe ke xa umntu elalele umwabo amthiyileyo wamgebenga engacingele nto, waza wabalekela kwenye yezi dolophu, ₁₂amadoda amakhulu aloo dolophu yakhe makamlande, amnikezele kwisizalwane sikamfi esingumphindezeli, size sisibulale isigebenga eso. ₁₃Umntu onjalo sukuba natarhu mpela kuye. Ubugebenga mabutshayelwe buphele tu kwaSirayeli, khon' ukuze nihlale ngoxolo.”

₁₅“Ingqina elinye alanele xa umntu ebekwa ityala, nokuba wone kanjani na. Ubutyala bommangalelwa kufuneka bumelwe ngamangqina amabini okanye amathathu. ₁₆Ukuba umntu okhohlakeleyo uzama ukudyobha omnye ngetyala, ₁₇bobabini mabasiwe phambi *koNdikhoyo endaweni yonqulo, ityala elo liphicothwe ngababingeleli nabagwebi abasesikhundleni. ₁₈Abagwebi mabenze uphando olunzulu, baze bathi xa befumanisa ukuba ummangali lo umdyoba nje uwabo lo, ₁₉bohlwaye ummangali lowo ngesohlwayo ebelindele ukuba siya kunikwa ummangalelwa lowo. Ngale ndlela ke wobutshayela ububi buphele phakathi kwenu. ₂₀Baya kuthi ke abanye abantu bakuyiva le nto yenzekileyo batsho boyike, kungabi sabakho mntu uphinda ayenze into enjalo. ₂₁Ewe, uzungabi natarhu mpela; isohlwayo sibe bubomi ngobomi, iliso ngeliso, izinyo ngezinyo, isandla ngesandla, nonyawo ngonyawo.”
