₂₃“Kwathi lapho nilizwa izwi elivela phakathi kobumnyama, intaba ivutha umlilo, nasondela kimi, zonke izinhloko zenu zezizwe zenu namalunga enu, ₂₄nathi: ‘Bheka, uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu usibonisile inkazimulo yakhe nobukhulu bakhe, salizwa izwi lakhe livela phakathi komlilo; sibonile namuhla ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma nomuntu, adlule aphile. ₂₅Ngalokho siyakufelani na? Ngokuba lo mlilo omkhulu uyakusiqeda; uma silizwa futhi izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, siyakufa. ₂₆Ngokuba ngubani enyameni yonke ozwile njengathi izwi likaNkulunkulu ophilayo livela phakathi komlilo, waphila, na? ₂₇Sondela wena, uzwe konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ayakukukhuluma, usitshele konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ayakukukhuluma kuwe, sikuzwe, sikwenze.’

₂₈“UJehova wawezwa amazwi enu ekukhulumeni kwenu kimi; uJehova wayesethi kimi: ‘Ngiwezwile amazwi alaba bantu abawakhulume kuwe; basho kahle konke abakukhulumile. ₂₉Sengathi kungaba khona kubo inhliziyo enjalo ukuba bangesabe, bagcine njalo yonke imiyalelo yami, kube kuhle kubo nakubantwana babo kuze kube phakade.

₃₀“ ‘Hamba, usho kubo ukuthi: “Buyelani ematendeni enu.” ₃₁Kepha wena, yima lapha ngakimi, ngikhulume kuwe yonke imiyalo, nezimiso, nezahlulelo oyakubafundisa khona ukuba bakwenze ezweni engibanika lona ukuba balidle.’

₃₂“Niyakuqaphela ukwenza njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu eniyalile, ningaphenduki ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo. ₃₃Niyakuhamba njalo endleleni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aniyale ngayo, ukuze niphile, kube kuhle kini, nandise izinsuku zenu ezweni eniyakulidla.

₁“Nansi imiyalo, nezimiso, nezahlulelo uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ayala ukuba nifundiswe khona, nikwenze ezweni eniya kulo ukulidla, ₂ukuze umesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ugcine zonke izimiso zakhe nemiyalo yakhe engikuyala ngakho, wena nendodana yakho nendodana yendodana yakho zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakho, kwandiswe imihla yakho. ₃Yizwa-ke, Israyeli, uqaphele ukukwenza ukuba kube kuhle kuwe, nande ngamandla, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo wakuthembisa khona ezweni elivame ubisi nezinyosi.

₄“Yizwa, Israyeli: uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, uJehova, munye; ₅wothanda uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangawo onke amandla akho. ₆Lawa mazwi engikuyala ngawo namuhla ayakuba senhliziyweni yakho, ₇ubafundise impela wona abantwana bakho, uwakhulume lapho uhlezi endlini yakho, nalapho uhamba endleleni, nalapho ulala, nalapho uvuka. ₈Uyakuwabopha abe luphawu esandleni sakho, abe yisikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho. ₉Wowaloba ezinsikeni zomnyango wendlu yakho nasemasangweni akho.

₁₀“Kuyakuthi lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eyakukungenisa ezweni alifungela oyihlo, o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, ukukunika lona kanye nemizi emikhulu nemihle ongayakhanga, ₁₁nezindlu ezigcwele zonke izinto ezinhle ongazigcwalisanga, nemithombo embiweyo ongayimbanga, nezivini neminqumo ongakutshalanga, nalapho udla usuthe, ₁₂xwaya ukuba ungakhohlwa uJehova owakukhipha ezweni laseGibithe, indlu yobugqila.

₁₃“Womesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; wokhonza yena, ufunge igama lakhe. ₁₄Aniyikulandela abanye onkulunkulu, onkulunkulu babantu abanizungezayo ₁₅ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ophakathi kwakho unguNkulunkulu onomhawu funa intukuthelo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ikuvuthele, ikuchithe ebusweni bomhlaba.

₁₆“Aniyikumlinga uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, njengalokho namlinga eMasa. ₁₇Niyakugcina nokugcina imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nobufakazi bakhe, nezimiso zakhe akuyale ngakho. ₁₈Wokwenza okulungile nokuhle emehlweni kaJehova ukuba kube kuhle kuwe, ungene ulidle lelo zwe elihle uJehova alifungela oyihlo ₁₉ukuxosha zonke izitha zakho phambi kwakho, njengalokho ekhulumile uJehova.

₂₀“Lapho indodana yakho ikubuza ngesikhathi esizayo, ithi: ‘Buyini ubufakazi, nezimiso, nezahlulelo uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu aniyale ngakho na?’ ₂₁uyakusho kuyo indodana yakho ukuthi: ‘Sasiyizigqila zikaFaro eGibithe; uJehova wasikhipha eGibithe ngesandla esinamandla; ₂₂uJehova wenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso ezinkulu nezesabekayo phezu kweGibithe, naphezu kukaFaro, naphezu kwayo yonke indlu yakhe phambi kwamehlo ethu, ₂₃wasikhipha lapho ukuba asingenise ukusinika izwe alifungela obaba. ₂₄UJehova wasiyala ukwenza zonke lezo zimiso, simesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, kube kuhle kithi njalo, ukuba asiphe siphile njenganamuhla. ₂₅Kuyakuba ngukulunga kithi, uma sigcina ukwenza yonke le miyalo phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, njengalokho esiyalile.’

₁“Lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eyakukungenisa ezweni oya kulo ukulidla, axoshe izizwe eziningi phambi kwakho, amaHeti, namaGirigashi, nama-Amori, namaKhanani, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, izizwe eziyisikhombisa ezinkulu nezinamandla kunawe, ₂nalapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ezinikela phambi kwakho, uzinqobe, wozichitha nokuzichitha, ungenzi isivumelwano nazo, ungabi namusa kuzo, ₃ungaganiselani nazo, ungayiniki indodana yakhe indodakazi yakho, ungathatheli indodana yakho indodakazi yakhe. ₄Ngokuba uyakuphambukisa indodana yakho ekungilandeleni ukuba bakhonze abanye onkulunkulu, intukuthelo kaJehova ikuvuthele, akuchithe masinyane. ₅Niyakubaphatha kanje: niyakudiliza ama-altare abo, niphohloze izinsika zabo, ninqume o-Ashera* babo, nishise ngomlilo izithombe zabo ezibaziweyo. ₆Ngokuba uyisizwe esingcwele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho: uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukukhethile ukuba ube yisizwe senzuzo yakhe phezu kwezizwe zonke ezisebusweni bomhlaba.

₇“UJehova akanamathelanga kini, kanikhethanga ngokuba nanibaningi kunezinye izizwe, ngokuba naniyingcosana kunezizwe zonke, ₈kepha ngokuba uJehova enithanda nangokuba ebeyakugcina isifungo asifungela oyihlo uJehova unikhiphile ngesandla esinamandla, wanihlenga endlini yezigqila esandleni sikaFaro inkosi yaseGibithe. ₉Yazi-ke ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho unguNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu othembekileyo, ogcina isivumelwano nomusa nabamthandayo abagcina imiyalo yakhe kuze kube sezizukulwaneni eziyinkulungwane, ₁₀abaphindisele abamzondayo ebusweni babo, ababhubhise; akayikulibala kuyena omzondayo, uyakumphindisela ebusweni bakhe. ₁₁Ngalokho uyakugcina imiyalo, nezimiso, nezahlulelo engikuyala ngakho namuhla ukukwenza.

₁₂“Kuyakuthi ngokuba nilalela lezi zahlulelo, nizigcine, nizenze, uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakugcina isivumelwano nawe nomusa awufungela oyihlo, ₁₃akuthande, akubusise, akwandise, abusise nenzalo yesisu sakho, nesithelo somhlabathi wakho, namabele akho, newayini lakho, namafutha akho, nenzalo yezinkomo zakho, nokwanda kwezimvu zakho ezweni alifungela oyihlo ukuninika lona. ₁₄Uyakubusiswa ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke, kungabikho mlisa nowesifazane oyinyumba phakathi kwenu noma phakathi kwezinkomo zenu. ₁₅UJehova uyakususa kuwe zonke izifo, angabeki kuwe izifo ezimbi zaseGibithe ozaziyo, kepha azifake phezu kwabo bonke abakuzondayo. ₁₆Uyakuqeda zonke izizwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakuzinikela kuwe; iso lakho lingazihawukeli, ungakhonzi onkulunkulu bazo, ngokuba lokho kuyakuba lugibe kuwe.

₁₇“Uma uyakuthi enhliziyweni yakho: ‘Lezi zizwe ziningi kunami; ngingazixosha kanjani?’ ₁₈ungazesabi, kodwa ukhumbule kahle lokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akwenza kuFaro nakulo lonke iGibithe: ₁₉izilingo ezinkulu azibonayo amehlo akho, nezibonakaliso, nezimangaliso, nesandla esinamandla, nengalo eyeluliweyo uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akukhipha ngakho; uyakwenza kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kuzo zonke izizwe ozesabayo. ₂₀Futhi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuthuma iminyovu phakathi kwazo, kuze kuthi bona abaseleyo abazithukusayo baphele phambi kwakho. ₂₁Ngalokho awuyikuzesaba, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uphakathi kwakho, uNkulunkulu omkhulu nowesabekayo. ₂₂UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuxosha lezo zizwe phambi kwakho kancane kancane, ungaziqedi masinyane, funa izilwane zasendle zande ngaphezu kwakho. ₂₃Kepha uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakuzinikela phambi kwakho, azingquzule ngokungquzula okukhulu, zize zichithwe. ₂₄Uyakuwanikela amakhosi azo esandleni sakho, wena uqede igama lawo phansi kwezulu; akuyikubakho muntu ongema phambi kwakho, uze uzichithe. ₂₅Izithombe ezibaziweyo zawonkulunkulu bazo niyakuzishisa ngomlilo; awuyikufisa isiliva noma igolide elikuzo, ungazithatheli lona, funa ucushwe ngalo, ngokuba kuyisinengiso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; ₂₆awuyikungenisa isinengiso endlini yakho, ube yinto eqalekisiweyo njengaso; uyakusenyanya nokusenyanya, unengwe nokunengwa yiso, ngokuba kuyinto eqalekisiweyo.

₁“Yonke imiyalo engikuyala ngayo namuhla niyakuyigcina niyenze ukuba niphile, nande, ningene ukulidla izwe uJehova alifungela oyihlo. ₂Woyikhumbula yonke indlela uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuholile ngayo le minyaka engamashumi amane ehlane ukuba akuthobise, akuvivinye, azi okusenhliziyweni yakho, uma ubuyakuyigcina imiyalo yakhe noma qha. ₃Wakuthobisa-ke, wakulambisa, wakupha ukuba udle imana* obungalazi, bebengalazi futhi oyihlo, ukuba akwazise ukuthi umuntu akaphili ngesinkwa sodwa; kepha ngakho konke okuphuma emlonyeni kaJehova, yikho umuntu aphila ngakho. ₄Izingubo zakho azikugugelanga, nonyawo lwakho aluvuvukalanga le minyaka engamashumi amane. ₅Wokwazi enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi njengalokhu umuntu elaya indodana yakhe, kanjalo uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakulaya wena.

₆“Woyigcina imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, uhambe ezindleleni zakhe, umesabe. ₇Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho useyakungenisa ezweni elihle, izwe elinemifudlana yamanzi, nemithombo, nezinzulu eziphuphuma ezigodini nasezintabeni, ₈izwe likakolweni, nelebhali,* nelemivini, nelemikhiwane, nelamapomegranati,* izwe leminqumo enamafutha, nelezinyosi, ₉izwe lapho uyakudla khona isinkwa kungekho kuswela; awuyikudinga lutho; izwe elimatshe alo ayinsimbi, nelizintaba zalo ungemba kuzo ithusi.

₁₀“Uyakudla usuthe, umbonge uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngezwe elihle akunike lona. ₁₁Xwaya, funa ukhohlwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngokungagcini imiyalo yakhe, nezahlulelo zakhe, nezimiso zakhe engikuyala ngakho namuhla, ₁₂funa lapho usudlile wasutha, nalapho usuwakhile izindlu ezinhle, wahlala kuzo, ₁₃kwandile izinkomo zakho nezimvu zakho, kwandile nesiliva lakho negolide lakho, kwandile konke onakho, ₁₄inhliziyo yakho bese yiphakama, ukhohlwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owakukhipha ezweni laseGibithe, indlu yobugqila, ₁₅wakuhola ehlane elikhulu nelesabekayo elinezinyoka ezinesihlungu nawofezela nomhlabathi owomileyo, lapho kwakungekho manzi khona; wakuvezela amanzi edwaleni lensengetsha; ₁₆wakupha imana* ehlane, oyihlo ababengalazi, ukuba akuthobise, akuvivinye, akwenzele okuhle ngasekugcineni, ₁₇uze uthi enhliziyweni yakho: ‘Amandla ami nezikhwepha zesandla sami kunginike le mfuyo.’ ₁₈Kepha womkhumbula uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ngokuba nguyena okupha amandla okuzuza imfuyo ukuba amise isivumelwano sakhe asifungela oyihlo njenganamuhla.

₁₉“Kuyakuthi uma ukhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ulandele abanye onkulunkulu, ubakhonze, ukhuleke kubo, ngiyanixwayisa namuhla ukuthi niyakubhubha nokubhubha. ₂₀Njengezizwe uJehova azenza ukuba zibhubhe phambi kwenu, kanjalo niyakubhubha nani, ngokuba naningalilaleli izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
