₄“ ‘Kepha lezi aniyikuzidla kwezetshisayo nakwezahlukanisa inselo: ikamela, ngokuba liyetshisa, lingahlukanisi kodwa inselo; lingcolile kini; ₅nembila, ngokuba iyetshisa, ingahlukanisi kodwa inselo; ingcolile kini; ₆nonogwaja, ngokuba uyetshisa, engahlukanisi kodwa inselo; ungcolile kini; ₇nengulube, ngokuba iyahlukanisa inselo, idabula inselo kabili, ingetshisi kodwa; ingcolile kini. ₈Ningadli inyama yazo, ningathinti izidumbu zazo; zingcolile kini.

₉“ ‘Lezi ningazidla kuzo zonke ezisemanzini: zonke ezinamaphiko nezingcwecwe ezisemanzini neziselwandle nezisemifuleni, lezo ningazidla. ₁₀Kepha zonke ezingenamaphiko nazingcwecwe eziselwandle nezisemifuleni, nazo zonke eziswebezelayo emanzini, nazo zonke izinto eziphilayo emanzini ziyisinengiso kini. ₁₁Zoba yisinengiso kini; ningadli inyama yazo; izidumbu zazo ziyakunengeka kini. ₁₂Zonke ezingenamaphiko nazingcwecwe emanzini ziyisinengiso kini.

₁₃“ ‘Yilezi eniyakunengwa yizo ezinyonini; aziyikudliwa, ziyisinengiso: ukhozi, nenqe, nengqungqulu, ₁₄nonhloyile, noheshe ngezinhlobo zakhe, ₁₅nawo onke amagwababa ngezinhlobo zawo, ₁₆nentshe, nenkovana, nenkanu, noklebe ngezinhlobo zakhe, ₁₇nesikhova, nomphishamanzi, nomxwagele, ₁₈nefukezi, nevuba, nophalane, ₁₉nonogolantethe, nonozalizingwenya ngezinhlobo zakhe, noziningweni, nelulwane.

₂₀“ ‘Nezilwanyana zonke ezinamaphiko, ezihamba ngezinyawo zozine, ziyisinengiso kini. ₂₁Kepha lezi ningazidla kuzo zonke izilwanyana ezinamaphiko, ezihamba ngezinyawo zozine, ezinamanqina ngaphezu kwezinyawo zazo ukuxhuma ngazo emhlabeni; ₂₂kuzo ningadla lezi: isikhonyane ngezinhlobo zaso, namaboni ngezinhlobo zawo, namadiye ngezinhlobo zawo, nezintethe ngezinhlobo zazo. ₂₃Kepha zonke ezinye izilwanyana ezinamaphiko nezinyawo ezine ziyisinengiso kini.

₂₄“ ‘Niyakungcoliswa yilezi: bonke abathinta izidumbu zazo bayakuba ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe. ₂₅Bonke abathwala utho lwezidumbu zazo bayakuhlanza izingubo zabo, babe ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe.

₂₆“ ‘Zonke izilwane ezahlukanisa inselo, zingayidabuli kabili kodwa, zingetshisi, zingcolile kini; bonke abazithintayo bayakuba ngabangcolile. ₂₇Nazo zonke ezihamba ngezidladla kuzo zonke izilwane ezihamba ngezinyawo ezine zingcolile kini; bonke abathinta izidumbu zazo bayakuba ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe. ₂₈Othwala izidumbu zazo makahlanze izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe; zingcolile kini.

₂₉“ ‘Lezi zingcolile kini kuzo izilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni: uchakide, nempuku, noxamu ngezinhlobo zakhe, ₃₀nesigcilikisha, nesiquzi, nentulo, nesibankwa, nonwabu. ₃₁Yilezo ezingcolile kini phakathi kwezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo; bonke abazithintayo sezifile bayakuba ngabangcolile kuze kuhlwe. ₃₂Konke esiwela phezu kwakho esinye sazo sezifile kuyakuba ngokungcolile, noma kuyinto yomuthi noma yingubo noma yisikhumba noma yisaka noma yintoni okusetshenzwa ngayo; makufakwe emanzini, kube ngokungcolile kuze kuhlwe; khona kuyakuhlanzeka. ₃₃Nezitsha zonke esiwela kuzo esinye sazo, noma yintoni ephakathi kwazo iyakuba ngengcolile, nize nizaphule. ₃₄Konke ukudla okudliwayo okukuzo, afika kukho futhi amanzi anjalo, kuyakuba ngokungcolile, nakho konke okuphuzwayo kuzo izitsha ezinjalo kuyakuba ngokungcolile. ₃₅Konke esiwela kukho isidumbu sazo kuyakuba ngokungcolile, noma iziko noma ikhanzi; makuphohlozwe; kungcolile, kuyakuba ngokungcolile kini. ₃₆Kepha umthombo nomgodi lapho amanzi eqoqene khona uyakube uhlambulukile, kodwa okuthinta izidumbu zazo kuyakuba ngokungcolile. ₃₇Uma izidumbu zazo ziwela phezu kwembewu etshalwayo ezakuhlwanyelwa, iyakuba ngehlambulukile. ₃₈Kepha uma amanzi ethelwa embewini, izidumbu zazo ziwele phezu kwayo, ingcolile kini.

₃₉“ ‘Uma kufa isilwane esidliwayo, othinta isidumbu saso uyakuba ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe. ₄₀Odla isidumbu saso makahlanze izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe; nothwala isidumbu saso makahlanze izingubo zakhe, abe ngongcolile kuze kuhlwe.

₄₁“ ‘Zonke izilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni ziyisinengiso; mazingadliwa. ₄₂Zonke ezihamba ngesisu, nazo zonke ezihamba ngezinyawo ezine noma ngeziningi, nazo zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, ningazidli, ngokuba ziyisinengiso. ₄₃Ningazenzi ninengeke ngezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, ningazingcolisi ngazo, funa ningcole ngazo. ₄₄Ngokuba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; ngalokho zingcweliseni, nibe ngcwele, ngokuba mina ngingcwele; ningazingcolisi ngezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni. ₄₅Ngokuba nginguJehova owakukhuphula ezweni laseGibithe, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu; ngalokho yibani ngcwele, ngokuba ngingcwele.

₄₆“ ‘Yilowo umthetho wezilwane nowezinyoni nowezilwane zonke eziswebezelayo emanzini, nowezilwanyana zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, ₄₇ukuba kwahlukaniswe okungcolileyo nokuhlambulukileyo, okuphilayo okudliwayo nokuphilayo okungadliwayo.’ ”
