₁“Ke ukuba ulithobele ilizwi *likaNdikhoyo uThixo wakho, wayenza ngononophelo imiyalelo endikunika yona namhlanje, uNdikhoyo uya kukuphakamisa kunazo zonke izizwe zehlabathi. ₂Xa uthe walithobela ke walenza lizwi likaNdikhoyo uThixo wakho, nâzi iintsikelelo owozixhamla:

₃“Wosikelelwa ezidolophini nasemaphandleni.

₄“Wosikelelwa, umfazi wakho azale, emasimini indyebo ibe ngako, yona imfuyo yande, kubekho amathole namatakane.

₅“Wosikelelwa, ingobozi yakho iphuphume isivuno, isitya sakho sokuxovulela sihlale sinentlama.

₆“Wosikelelwa ekuphumeni kwakho, nasekubuyeni kwakho ngokunjalo.

₇“UNdikhoyo uya kukuvathisa ngoloyiso, nditsho noba sewuhlaselwa ziintshaba. Zothi noba sezivela kwicala elithile, wena uzibethe zithi saa macal' onke.

₈“UNdikhoyo uThixo uya kuwuthamsanqela umsebenzi wakho, izisele zakho zihlale ziphuphuma. Uya kukuthi jize ngamathamsanqa kwelo lizwe akunika lona.

₉“Ukuba niyithobele imiyalelo nahamba ngokwelizwi lakhe, uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu uya kunimisela nibe ngabantu bakhe ncakasana ngokwesithembiso sakhe.

₁₀“Ziya kuthi ke izizwe zehlabathi, zakuqonda ukuba uNdikhoyo unenze abantu bakhe, zitsho zinihlonele.

₁₁“Ewe, uNdikhoyo wokuthi jize ngenkqubela, uzale abantwana, imfuyo yakho ibe namathole namatakane, amasimi akho axakathe isivuno kwelo lizwe uNdikhoyo wafunga ukubanika lona ooyihlo-mkhulu. ₁₂UNdikhoyo uya kuwavula amazulu ngexesha elililo, imvula ayiphokoze kuvimba wakhe, awuthamsanqele umsebenzi wakho, khon' ukuze ungasweli nto, koko ubolekis' ezizweni, phofu wena ngokwakho ube ungafuni nto mntwini. ₁₃UNdikhoyo uya kukwenza ube yimbalasane phakathi kwezizwe, ungabi semxukuxeleni. Uya kuba soloko unenkqubela, ungaze uwe phantsi, ukuba uyithobele wayenza imiyalelo yakhe endikunika yona namhlanje. ₁₄Noba sekutheni na ungaze uphambuke nakancinane kule miyalelo; ungaze unqule ubuse *oothixo abangabambi.”

₁₅“Kambe ke ukuba akulithobelanga ilizwi *likaNdikhoyo uThixo wakho, ukuba akuyenzanga yonke le miyalelo nale mimiselo ndikunika yona namhlanje, ziya kukufumana iziqalekiso:

₁₆“Woqalekiswa ezidolophini nasemaphandleni.

₁₇“Yoqalekiswa ingobozi yakho, nesitya sakho sokuxovulela ngokunjalo.

₁₈“Yoqalekiswa inzala yakho, nesivuno somhlaba wakho, kwanamathole namatakane emfuyo yakho.

₁₉“Woqalekiswa ekuphumeni kwakho, nasekubuyeni kwakho ngokunjalo.

₂₀“UNdikhoyo uya kukuzisela ishwangusha, kube sisiphithi-phithi nenkxwaleko kuyo yonke into oyenzayo, suka uhlelwe sisithwakumbe ude utshabalale ngephanyazo, ngenxa yobubi obenzileyo bokumlahla ungamthobeli uNdikhoyo. ₂₁UNdikhoyo uya kukubetha ngezifo ngezifo, akutshayele uphele nya, ungawuhlali lo mhlaba uza kungena kuwo ngoku. ₂₂Uya kukubetha ngezifo ezidla umzimba, umkhuhlane, necesina. Umoya onolophu uya kuwatshabalalisa amasimi akho, akuyekele ngembalela kwanezifo kwizilimo zakho. Ezi zibetho ke ziya kukuthi nca ude ungabikho. ₂₃Ilanga liya kubalela esibhakabhakeni, umhlaba wome ube lilitye. ₂₄Imvula aya kuyinisa uNdikhoyo yoba zizaqhwithi nothuli, ude utshabalale.

₂₅“UNdikhoyo uya kuzipha uloyiso iintshaba zakho, zikuvuyelele. Wothi uzihlasela kweli cala, zona zikubethe uthi saa macal' onke. Zonke ke izizwe zehlabathi ziya kuthi zakuyibona le nto ikuhleleyo zitsho zihlasimle.

₂₆“Xa senifile imizimba yenu iya kutyiwa ziintaka namarhamncwa, futhi kungabikho namntu uzigxothayo. ₂₇UNdikhoyo uya kukubetha ngamathumba uxel' amaJiputa. Umzimba wakho uya kuphanjwa zizilonda nalukhwekhwe, urhawuzelelwe ingekho nendlela yokukunyanga. ₂₈UNdikhoyo uya kukubetha ngogezo, ubumfama, nobuthwanga-thwanga. ₂₉Uya kuba ngathi uyimfama, uphampathe ngoku ilanga lihlab' umhlaba. Kuyo yonke into oyenzayo akuyi kuba nampumelelo. Uya kuba sisisulu sengcinezelo, uphangwe, kungekho bani ungakuncedayo.

₃₀“Noba sewulobola intombi, kovela mntu wumbi ayixhaphaze. Noba sowusakha indlu, soze uyihlale. Uya kuba ngatyala isidiliya, ungacholi naphantsi kuso. ₃₁Nenkomo yakho iya kuxhelwa ujongile, kodwa ungakhothi naphantsi kuloo nyama. Idonki yakho iya kuthinjwa ubukele, ungaze ubuye uyibone. Iigusha zakho ziya kunikelwa ezintshabeni, kungabikho namntu ungakuncedayo. ₃₂Oonyana neentombi zakho ziya kunikezelwa kwezinye iintlanga ujongile. Uya kutyabuk' amehlo ujong' enkalweni, ulindele ukubuya kwabantwana bakho, kungekho nto unokuyenza. ₃₃Kuya kuvela uhlanga ongalwaziyo, lufike luvune izilimo zakho obulalekileyo ngazo, ke wena into oya kuyizuza yingcinezelo nentshutshiso engaphele ndawo. ₃₄Ububi obubonayo buya kukubetha utsho ube ligeza. ₃₅UNdikhoyo uya kukubetha ngamathumba anganyangekiyo emadolweni nasemilenzeni, athi tshitshilili ukusuka entloko kuye kuthi xhaxhe ngeenyawo.

₃₆“Wena, ngokunjalo nokumkani ommiseleyo, uNdikhoyo uya kunithatha anise kwilizwe eningalaziyo, elingazange laziwa nangooyihlo-mkhulu. Apho ke uya kunqula *thixo bambi abenziwe ngomthi, ngokunjalo nabamatye. ₃₇Kwezo zizwe akusasaze kuzo uNdikhoyo abantu baya kukuthela nqa, ube yintlekisa nondaba-mlonyeni.

₃₈“Uya kuthi ngoku ubuhlwayele kakhulu uvune into engekhoyo. Kaloku isivuno sakho siya kunqunquthwa ziinkumbi. ₃₉Uya kuba ngatyala isidiliya usihlakule usilungise, ungazuzi diliya nawayini, kuba kaloku siya kungenelwa ngurhuxeshe. ₄₀Umnquma uya kubakho kuyo yonke indawo kwelo lizwe, kodwa wena ungabi nawo amafutha okuthambisa, kuba umnquma lowo uya kuvuthuluka. ₄₁Oonyana neentombi uya kuba nabo nje ngegama, kuba baya kuthinjwa. ₄₂Imithi yakho yeziqhamo, ngokunjalo nezilimo, ziya kunqunquthwa yinkumbi.

₄₃“Abangeneleli belakowenu baya kubalasela baye beqaqamba ngokuqaqamba, ke nina niye nidodobala ngokudodobala. ₄₄Baya kubolekisa kuwe, ube ke wena ungenanto yakubolekisa. Ekugqibeleni ke baya kuba ziinkokheli, wena ube ngumlandeli.

₄₅“Zonke ke ezi ziqalekiso ziya kukujikeleza zide zikufumane, zikuvuthulule uphele, ngenxa yokuba ungaliphulaphulanga ilizwi likaNdikhoyo uThixo wakho, ungayenzanga imiyalelo nemimiselo endikunike yona. ₄₆Ziya kuba ngumqondiso nesimanga kuwe nakwisizukulwana sakho kude kube nini-nini.

₄₇“Nakuba uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho wakusikelela ngeendlela zonke nje, akuvumanga ukumnqula ngokuthakazela ngexesha lentlutha. ₄₈Ngoko ke uya kubusa iintshaba akuthumele ngazo uNdikhoyo. Uya kucikidwa yindlala, unxano, nobuze, naziindidi ngeendidi zeentswelo. Uya kukukhama ngedyokhwe yentsimbi ude utshabalale. ₄₉UNdikhoyo uya kukuthumela ngohlanga oluvela kwelikude eziphelweni zehlabathi, abantu abantetho ungayivayo; bona ke baya kukurhewula njengokhozi. ₅₀Olu ke iya kuba luhlanga olungwanyalala, olungakhathalele mntu mdala, lungenanceba nasemntwaneni. ₅₁Iinkomo nesivuno sakho siya kuba lilifa labo, ube ke ubulawa yindlala. Aba bantu baya kutshayela konke nje: ingqolowa, iwayini entsha, amafutha omnquma, inkomo nenzala yayo, ngokunjalo negusha; ke wena ude utshabalale. ₅₂Baya kuzihlasela bazingqinge zonke iidolophu zelo lizwe akunika lona uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho, nezo ndonga zinde ukholosa ngazo ziya kudilika zifadalale.

₅₃“Xa sezikungqingile iintshaba zakho uya kuxineka ucikideke yindlala kangangokuba ude utye nabantwana bakho obaphiwe nguNdikhoyo uThixo wakho. _54-55Nditsho namadoda aphucukileyo anesisa ngelo thuba aya kuphalala ebethwa yindlala, kangangokuba ade atye abantwana bawo. Indoda iya kuvimba nomntakwayo, nomfazi wayo oyintanda, nditsho nowokugqibela osekhoyo kubantwana bayo. _56-57Kwanomfazi ozitshoyo, intokazi esisigcodololo esichula ukunyathela, naye uya kuziphatha kwangolo hlobo. Luya kuthi lwakuningqinga utshaba acikidwe liphango, aphalale kangangokuba ade atye nosana agqib' ukulizala, ngokunjalo nomkhaya lowo, yonke ke le nto eyiba. Ewe, uya kude avimbe nendoda le yakhe yebhongo; asisathethi ke ngabantwana bakhe.

₅₈“Ukuba akuyithobelanga ngenyameko imfundiso yalo mthetho ubhalwe kule ncwadi, ukuba uthe awalihlonipha eli gama lizukileyo linobuqaqawuli likaNdikhoyo uThixo wakho, ₅₉wena ngokunjalo nenzala yakho úya kunibetha ngezithwakumbe ezingaqhelekanga nezingaphele ndawo, nezifo ezoyikekayo ezingeva yeza. ₆₀Uya kukuzisela ezaa zifo zaseJiputa wawuzoyika kunene, zaye ke zona ziya kunamathela kuwe.

₆₁“Ngaphezu koku uNdikhoyo uya kukuthumela ngazo zonke iindidi zezifo nezithwakumbe, nditsho nezo zingaxelwanga kule ncwadi yomthetho; ke zona ziya kukutshabalalisa. ₆₂Nokuba nande nada nayinyambalala enjengeenkwenkwezi ezisesibhaka-bhakeni, liqaqobana nje eliya kusinda, kuba kaloku ningamthobelanga uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu. ₆₃Kwanjengokuba uNdikhoyo wayenemihlali ngani waza waninika inkqubela wanandisa, kuya kuba kwanjalo ukunivuthulula nokunitshabalalisa kwakhe. Niya kuncothulwa nifuduswe kweli lizwe ningena kulo ngoku.

₆₄“UNdikhoyo uya kukusasaza ezizweni jikelele, ehlabathini liphela, apho ke uya kunqula *oothixo abenziwe ngomthi nabenziwe ngamatye, thixo abo ungazange ubanqule ngaphambili, bengazange banqulwa ngooyihlo-mkhulu. ₆₅Soze ufumane nzolo naphi naphi, ungasoze ufumane nandawo yakuphumla. UNdikhoyo uya kukubetha ngonxunguphalo, ukuphalala, nokuncama. ₆₆Ubomi bakho buya kuhlala busemngciphekweni. Imini nobusuku uya kuhlala ududa luloyiko, usoloko uxhalele ukufa. ₆₇Uya kuba liphakuphaku ngenxa yobubi obubonayo. Kuya kuthi kwakuba kusasa uthi: ‘Akwaba belitshona,’ uthi ke lakutshona: ‘Akwaba beliphuma.’ ₆₈UNdikhoyo uya kukubuyisela eJiputa ngeenqanawa, nangona nje ndandithe soze uphinde ubuyele khona. Apho ke uya kuzama ukuzithengisa kwiintshaba zakho, kodwa ke akukho bani uya kuze akuthenge.”

₁Nantsi ke imiqathango yomnqophiso *uNdikhoyo awayalela uMosis ukuba awenze namaSirayeli kwelaseMowabhi; yona ixhasa umnqophiso owenziwa nguNdikhoyo kwintaba iHorebhe.

₂UMosis wawahlanganisa ndawonye amaSirayeli, waza wathetha nawo wenjenje: “Nizibonele ngokwenu into eyenziwe nguNdikhoyo kukumkani waseJiputa, nakumaphakathi akhe, nelizwe lakhe liphela. ₃Nizibonile izibetho ezirhwaqelisayo, imiqondiso, nemimangaliso ayenzileyo uNdikhoyo. ₄Kanti unanamhla akaninikanga ingqondo yokuqiqa, namehlo okubona, neendlebe zokuva. ₅Kule minyaka ingamashumi amane ndinikhokela entlango, impahla yenu yokunxiba, ngokunjalo neembadada zenu, azikhange ziguge. ₆Beningenasonka nawayini natywala, kodwa uNdikhoyo unilungiselele, khon' ukuze nimqonde ukuba unguNdikhoyo uThixo wenu. ₇Sithe ke sakufika kulo mhlaba baphuma beza kusihlasela ookumkani uSihon waseHeshbhon nokumkani uOgi waseBhashan. Kambe ke saboyisa. ₈Umhlaba wabo ke sawuthimba, sawahlulela indlu kaRubhen nekaGadi ngokunjalo nesiqingatha sakwaManase. ₉Ngoko ke yithobeleni ngenyameko imiqathango yalo mnqophiso, khon' ukuze nibe nempumelelo kuyo yonke into eniyenzayo.

₁₀“Namhlanje ke nimi phambi koNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, nina xa ninonke – iintloko zezindlu zakuni, amadoda amakhulu, amaphakathi namadoda akwaSirayeli ephela, ₁₁abafazi nabantwana benu, nabangeneleli abacanda iinkuni nabakha amanzi. ₁₂Nilapha ke khon' ukuze nifungiswe nibopheleleke kumnqophiso noNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, ₁₃ukuze uNdikhoyo animisele nibe ngabantu bakhe ncakasana, yena ke abe nguThixo wenu ngokwesithembiso sakhe nanjengoko wafungayo kooyihlo-mkhulu, uAbraham noIsake noYakobi. ₁₄Lo mnqophiso ke ngokunjalo nesi sifungo uNdikhoyo akasenzi nani kuphela, ₁₅koko usenza nabo bonke, nabangekhoyo apha namhlanje, ngokunjalo nani nina nimi phambi kwakhe namhlanje.

₁₆“Niyazi ukuba kwakunjani na kwelaseJiputa; futhi nisayikhumbula indlela esahamba ngayo sicanda kwimihlaba yezinye izizwe. ₁₇Nayibona nemifanekiso engamasikizi eyenziwe ngomthi, amatye, isiliva, negolide. ₁₈Lumkani ke hleze kubekho ndoda, mfazi, noba ngumzi, okanye isizwe kwezimi apha namhlanje, esiya kuthi simfulathele uNdikhoyo uThixo, sinqule *oothixo beentlanga. Ze niqiniseke ingaze ibekho phakathi kwenu ingcambu eyityhefu evelisa iziqhamo ezikrakra. ₁₉Xa umntu ololo hlobo athi akuyiva imiqathango yalo mnqophiso azikhohlise entliziyweni yakhe, athi: ‘Mna andinakuhlelwa nto; ndohlala eluxolweni noxa ndisenza ukuthanda kwam,’ into enjalo ingabangela ukuba kutshatyalaliswe konke nje, olungileyo nongendawo. ₂₀Ewe, uNdikhoyo akayi kuba natarhu kumntu onjalo. Ndaweni yaloo nto uya kucaphuka, uvuthe umsindo wakhe, zize zithi neziqalekiso ezibhaliweyo apha kule ncwadi zimgubungele, ade ke uNdikhoyo amcime igama kwelimiweyo. ₂₁UNdikhoyo uya kwenza umzekelo ngaye kuzo zonke izizwe zakwaSirayeli, amhlisele izithwakumbe ngokweziqalekiso zomnqophiso obhalwe kule ncwadi yomthetho wakhe.

₂₂“Oonyana benu abaya kuvela emva kwenu, ngokunjalo neentlanga eziphuma kumazwe akude, ziya kusibona isithwakumbe nenkxwaleko ayihlisele ilizwe lenu uNdikhoyo. ₂₃Umhlaba uya kubharha, wambathiswe yisulfure netyuwa. Awuyi kuvelisa nto; akuyi kuntshula nokhula olu lwembala. Elo lizwe liya kuba njengeSodom neGomora, iAdama neZebhoyim, awathi ngenxa yengqumbo nomsindo wazitshabalalisa uNdikhoyo.

₂₄“Zonke iintlanga ziya kubuza zithi: ‘Kwakutheni ukuze uNdikhoyo awenjenje lo mhlaba? Wayekhathazwe yintoni ade abe nomsindo kangaka?’ ₂₅Impendulo ke iya kuthi: ‘Kungenxa yokuba betyeshele umnqophiso ophakathi kwabo noNdikhoyo uThixo wooyise-mkhulu; mnqophiso lowo bângena kuwo ekubakhupheni kwakhe eJiputa. ₂₆Basuke banqula *thixo bambi ababengabazi ngaphambili, ababengavumelekile ukuba babanqule. ₂₇UNdikhoyo ke wavutha ngumsindo, waza elo lizwe walihlisela ezi ziqalekiso zibhalwe apha kule ncwadi. ₂₈Ewe, wakhathazeka gqitha, wabancothula ngomsindo kwelakowabo, wabafudusela kwilizwe lasemzini apho basekhoyo unanamhla.’

₂₉“Kambe ke zona izinto ezifihlakeleyo zezikaNdikhoyo uThixo wethu, ukanti ke zona ezityhiliweyo ziya kusoloko zizezethu nabantwana bethu. Ngoko ke masiyithobele imiqathango yalo mthetho.”
