₁“Yizwa, Israyeli: Wena uyakuwela iJordani namuhla, ungene udle izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla kunawe, imizi emikhulu nebiyelwe kuze kube sezulwini, ₂abantu abakhulu nabade, amadodana ama-Anaki owaziyo, ozwile ngawo ukuthi: ‘Ngubani ongema phambi kwamadodana ka-Anaki na?’ ₃Yazi-ke namuhla ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho unguye owela ngaphambi kwakho njengomlilo oqedayo; uyakubachitha, abanqobe, wena ubaxoshe, ubabhubhise masinyane, njengalokho ebekhuluma kuwe uJehova.

₄“Ungakhulumi enhliziyweni yakho, uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho esebaxoshile ngaphambi kwakho, ngokuthi: ‘Ngenxa yokulunga kwami uJehova ungingenisile ukuba ngidle leli zwe,’ ingani kungenxa yobubi balezo zizwe uJehova azixosha phambi kwakho. ₅Akungokulunga kwakho noma ngobuqotho benhliziyo yakho ungena ulidle izwe lazo, kepha kungobubi balezo zizwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho azixosha phambi kwakho nangokuba eyakuliqinisa izwi uJehova alifungela oyihlo, o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe. ₆Yazi-ke uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akakuniki leli zwe elihle ukuba ulidle ngenxa yokulunga kwakho, ngokuba uyisizwe esintamo ilukhuni.

₇“Khumbula, ungakhohlwa ukuthi wamthukuthelisa uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ehlane; kusukela osukwini owaphuma ngalo ezweni laseGibithe waze wafika kule ndawo nanizinge nihlubuka kuJehova. ₈NaseHorebe namthukuthelisa uJehova, uJehova wanithukuthelela ukuba anibhubhise. ₉Lapho sengikhuphukele entabeni ukuba ngamukele izibhebhe zamatshe, izibhebhe zesivumelwano uJehova asenza nani, ngahlala entabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane; angidlanga sinkwa, angiphuzanga manzi. ₁₀UJehova wanginika lezo zibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe, zilotshwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu; kwakulotshwe kuzona njengamazwi onke uJehova awakhuluma kini entabeni, ephakathi komlilo ngosuku lokuhlangana.

₁₁“Kwathi ngasekupheleni kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane uJehova wanginika izibhebhe zombili zamatshe, izibhebhe zesivumelwano. ₁₂UJehova wathi kimi: ‘Vuka wehle lapha masinyane, ngokuba abantu bakho owabakhipha eGibithe bonile, baphambukile masinyane endleleni engabayala ngayo; bazenzele isithombe esibunjiweyo.’

₁₃“UJehova wabuye wakhuluma kimi, wathi: ‘Ngibabonile laba bantu; bheka, bangabantu abantamo ilukhuni; ₁₄ngiyeke ukuba ngibabhubhise, ngesule igama labo phansi kwezulu, ngenze wena ube yisizwe esinamandla nesikhulu kunabo.’

₁₅“Ngase ngiphenduka ngehla entabeni, intaba yavutha umlilo; izibhebhe zombili zesivumelwano zazisezandleni zami zombili. ₁₆Ngase ngibheka, ngabona ukuthi nanonile kuJehova; nanizenzele ithole elibunjiweyo; naniphambukile masinyane endleleni uJehova abeniyale ngayo. ₁₇Ngathatha-ke izibhebhe zombili, ngazilahla ezandleni zami zombili, ngazaphula phambi kwamehlo enu.

₁₈“Ngawela phansi phambi kukaJehova njengakuqala izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane; angidlanga sinkwa, angiphuzanga manzi ngenxa yaso sonke isono senu enona ngaso ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba nimthukuthelise. ₁₉Ngokuba ngangesaba intukuthelo nolaka uJehova anithukuthelela ngakho ukuba anibhubhise, kepha uJehova wangizwa nangaleso sikhathi. ₂₀UJehova wathukuthelela kakhulu u-Aroni ukuba ambhubhise; ngamkhulekela u-Aroni ngaleso sikhathi. ₂₁Ngase ngithatha isono senu, ithole enanilenzile, ngalishisa ngomlilo, ngaligxoba, ngaligayisisa laze laba njengothuli, ngaphonsa uthuli lwalo emfudlaneni owehla entabeni.

₂₂“EThabehera naseMasa naseKibiroti Hathawa namthukuthelisa uJehova.

₂₃“Nalapho uJehova enithuma, nisuka eKadeshi Barineya, ngokuthi: ‘Khuphukani, nilidle izwe engininike lona,’ nahlubuka ezwini likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, anikholwanga nguye, analalela izwi lakhe. ₂₄Nimhlubukile uJehova kusukela osukwini enganiqabuka ngalo.

₂₅“Ngawela phansi phambi kukaJehova lezo zinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane engawa ngazo, ngokuba uJehova wayeshilo ukuthi uyakunibhubhisa. ₂₆Ngakhuleka kuJehova, ngathi: ‘Jehova Nkulunkulu, ungabhubhisi abantu bakho nefa lakho olihlengile ngobukhulu bakho, walikhipha eGibithe ngesandla esinamandla. ₂₇Khumbula izinceku zakho o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, ungabheki inkani yalaba bantu, nabubi babo, nasono sabo, ₂₈funa izwe owasikhipha kulo lithi: “Lokhu uJehova wayengenamandla okubangenisa ezweni abathembise lona nangokuba wabazonda, ubakhiphile ukuba ababulale ehlane.” ₂₉Nokho bangabantu bakho nefa lakho owalikhipha ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo.’

₁“Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wathi kimi: ‘Zibazele izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezokuqala, ukhuphukele kimi entabeni, uzenzele umphongolo womuthi. ₂Ngiyakuloba ezibhebheni amazwi ayesezibhebheni zokuqala owazaphula, uzifake emphongolweni.’

₃“Ngase ngenza-ke umphongolo womuthi womtholo, ngabaza izibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe njengezokuqala, ngakhuphukela entabeni nginezibhebhe zombili esandleni sami. ₄Waloba ezibhebheni njengokulotshwa kokuqala imiyalelo eyishumi uJehova ayikhulumayo kini entabeni, ephakathi komlilo ngosuku lokuhlangana; uJehova wanginika zona. ₅Ngase ngiphenduka ngehla entabeni, ngazifaka izibhebhe emphongolweni engiwenzile; zikhona lapho, njengalokho uJehova ebengiyala.”

₆Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli basuka eBeyeroti Bene Jahakani, bafika eMosera; u-Aroni wafela khona, wembelwa khona; u-Eleyazare indodana yakhe wakhonza ebupristini esikhundleni sakhe. ₇Basuka lapho, baya eGudigoda; basuka eGudigoda baya eJothabata, izwe lemifudlana yamanzi.

₈Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wahlukanisa isizwe sakwaLevi ukuba sithwale umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, sime phambi kukaJehova ukumkhonza nokubusisa egameni lakhe, kuze kube namuhla. ₉Ngalokho uLevi akanasabelo noma ifa kanye nabafowabo; uJehova uyifa lakhe njengokukhuluma kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho kuye.

₁₀“Ngahlala entabeni njengakuqala izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane; uJehova wangilalela nangaleso sikhathi, akanibhubhisanga. ₁₁UJehova wayesethi kimi: ‘Vuka uhambe phambi kwabantu; bayakungena, balidle izwe engalifungela oyise ukubanika lona.’

₁₂“Manje-ke, Israyeli, uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ufunani kuwe ngaphandle kokuba umesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, uhambe ngezindlela zakhe zonke, umthande, umkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, ₁₃ugcine imiyalo kaJehova nezimiso zakhe engakuyala ngakho ngalolo suku ukuba kube kuhle kuwe, na?

₁₄“Bheka, izulu nezulu lamazulu lingelikaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, nomhlaba nakho konke okukuwo. ₁₅Nokho uJehova wanamathela koyihlo, wabathanda, wakhetha inzalo yabo emva kwabo, yebo, nina ngaphezu kwabantu bonke, njenganamuhla. ₁₆Ngalokho sokani ijwabu lezinhliziyo zenu, ningabe nisaba ntamo ilukhuni. ₁₇Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu unguNkulunkulu wawonkulunkulu, neNkosi yamakhosi, uNkulunkulu omkhulu onamandla nowesabekayo, ongakhethi buso bamuntu, nongamukeli mvuzo. ₁₈Uyenza ukwahlulela kwezintandane nokomfelokazi, uyathanda umfokazi ngokumnika ukudla nezingubo. ₁₉Thandani-ke umfokazi, ngokuba naningabafokazi ezweni laseGibithe. ₂₀Womesaba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, umkhonze, unamathele kuye, ufunge igama lakhe. ₂₁Uludumo lwakho, unguNkulunkulu wakho okwenzele lezi zinto ezinkulu nezesabekayo azibonileyo amehlo akho. ₂₂Oyihlo behla, baya eGibithe bengabantu abangamashumi ayisikhombisa; manje uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukwenzile ube ngangezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi.

₁“Ngalokho wothanda uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ugcine imfanelo yakhe, nezimiso zakhe, nezahlulelo zakhe, nemiyalo yakhe izinsuku zonke. ₂Yazini namuhla ngokuba angikhulumi kubantwana benu abangazanga nabangabonanga ukulaya kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ubukhulu bakhe, nesandla sakhe esinamandla, nengalo yakhe eyeluliweyo, ₃nezibonakaliso zakhe, nezenzo zakhe owazenza phakathi kweGibithe kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe nakulo lonke izwe lakhe, ₄nowakwenzayo kuyo impi yaseGibithe, nakuwo amahhashi abo, nakuzo izinqola zabo, nokwenza kwakhe ukuba amanzi oLwandle Olubomvu abaminzise ekunixosheni kwabo, nokubabhubhisa kukaJehova kuze kube namuhla, ₅nowakwenzayo kuwe ehlane naze nafika kule ndawo, ₆nowakwenzayo kuDathani naku-Abiramu amadodana ka-Eliyabe kaRubeni ukuthi umhlaba wavula umlomo wawo, wabagwinya nabendlu yabo, namatende abo, nayo yonke imfuyo eyabalandelayo phakathi kwabo bonke abakwa-Israyeli. ₇Ngokuba amehlo enu abonile zonke izenzo ezinkulu zikaJehova azenzileyo.

₈“Ngalokho niyakugcina yonke imiyalo engikuyala ngayo namuhla ukuba nibe namandla, ningene nilidle izwe eniwela ukuya kulo ukulidla, ₉nokuba nandise izinsuku zenu ezweni uJehova alifungela oyihlo ukubanika lona nenzalo yabo, izwe elivame ubisi nezinyosi. ₁₀Ngokuba izwe ongena kulo ukulidla alinjengezwe laseGibithe enaphuma kulo, lapho wahlwanyela khona imbewu yakho, wayinisela ngonyawo lwakho njengesivande semifino, ₁₁kepha izwe eniya kulo ukulidla liyizwe lezintaba nelezigodi, liphuza amanzi emvula yezulu, ₁₂izwe elinakekelwa nguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; amehlo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akulo njalo, kusukela ekuqaleni komnyaka kuze kube sekupheleni komnyaka.

₁₃“Kuyakuthi uma nilalela nokulalela imiyalo yami enginiyala ngayo namuhla ukuba nimthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nimkhonze ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu nangawo wonke umphefumulo wenu, ₁₄ngiyakuninika imvula yezwe lakini ngesikhathi sayo, imvula yokuqala nemvula yamuva, ukuba ubuthe amabele akho, newayini lakho, namafutha akho. ₁₅Ngiyakunika izinkomo zakho utshani emadlelweni akho; uyakudla, usuthe.

₁₆“Xwayani funa inhliziyo ikhohliswe, niphambuke, nikhonze abanye onkulunkulu, nikhuleke kubo, ₁₇intukuthelo kaJehova inivuthele, avale izulu, ukuze kungabikho mvula, izwe lingabe lisathela izithelo zalo, niphele masinyane ezweni elihle uJehova aninika lona. ₁₈Niyakuwabeka lawa mazwi ami enhliziyweni yenu nasemphefumulweni wenu, niwabophe abe luphawu esandleni senu, abe yisikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo enu. ₁₉Niyakuwafundisa abantwana benu, ukhulume ngawo, lapho uhlezi endlini yakho, nalapho uhamba endleleni, nalapho ulala, nalapho uvuka. ₂₀Uyakuwaloba ezinsikeni zomnyango wendlu yakho nasemasangweni akho ₂₁ukuba zandiswe izinsuku zakho nezinsuku zabantwana benu ezweni uJehova alifungela oyihlo ukubanika lona, njengezinsuku zezulu phezu komhlaba.

₂₂“Ngokuba uma nigcina nokugcina yonke le miyalo enginiyala ngayo ukuba niyenze, nimthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nihambe ngazo zonke izindlela zakhe, ninamathele kuye, ₂₃uJehova uyakuzixosha zonke lezi zizwe phambi kwenu, nizidle izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla kunani. ₂₄Yonke indawo lapho amathe onyawo lwakho eyakunyathela khona iyakuba ngeyenu, kusukela ehlane naseLebanoni naseMfuleni, umfula u-Ewufrathe, kuze kube selwandle olungasemuva, lube ngumkhawulo wenu. ₂₅Akuyikubakho muntu ongema phambi kwenu; uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu uyakubeka ingebhe novalo ngani ezweni lonke eniyakunyathela kulo, njengalokho akhuluma kini.

₂₆“Bheka, ngibeka phambi kwakho namuhla isibusiso nesiqalekiso, ₂₇isibusiso, uma niyilalela imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu enginiyala ngayo namuhla, ₂₈nesiqalekiso, uma ningayilaleli imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, kepha niphambuka endleleni enginiyala ngayo namuhla, ukulandela abanye onkulunkulu eningabaziyo.

₂₉“Kuyakuthi lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho eyakukungenisa ezweni oya kulo ukulidla, usibeke isibusiso entabeni yaseGerizimu nesiqalekiso entabeni yase-Ebali. ₃₀Angithi ziphesheya kweJordani ngalaphaya kwendlela yasentshonalanga ezweni lamaKhanani ahlala e-Araba, malungana neGiligali ngaseceleni kwama-oki* aseMore na? ₃₁Ngokuba niyakuwela iJordani, ningene ukulidla izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aninika lona, nilidle, nihlale kulo. ₃₂Niyakugcina ukuzenza zonke izimiso nezahlulelo engizibeka phambi kwenu namuhla.
