1Kwakuba kudlule imihla emininzi, uYehova wabaphumza oonyana bakaSirayeli emsebenzini wabo wonke. Waluphele uYoshuwa, wabacinezela.

2Wawabiza uYoshuwa onke amaSirayeli, amadoda awo amakhulu, nabathetheli bawo, nabagwebi bawo, nabathetheli bawo, wathi kubo, Mna ndisendimdala, ndicinezelekile.

3Nina nikubonile konke abekwenzile uYehova uThixo wenu kwezo ntlanga zonke ngenxa yenu; ngokuba uYehova uThixo wenu nguye onilweleyo.

4Yabonani, ndizahlula ngamaqashiso ezi ntlanga ziseleyo, zibe lilifa lezizukulwana zenu, zithabathele eYordan, kunye neentlanga zonke endazitshabalalisayo, zesa kulwandle olukhulu ngasentshonalanga.

5uYehova uThixo wakho wozigqogqa phambi kwakho, azigqogqe phambi kwakho; yaye niya kulidla ilifa ilizwe labo njengoko uYehova uThixo wenu wanithembisayo.

6Yomelelani kunene, nigcine nenze konke okubhaliweyo encwadini yomyalelo kaMoses, ukuze ningatyeki kuwo, niye ekunene nasekhohlo;

7ukuze ningangeni ezi ntlanga ziseleyo phakathi kwenu; ningawakhankanyi amagama oothixo bazo, nifunge ngawo, ningabakhonzi, ningabakhonzi.

8Kodwa namathelani kuYehova uThixo wenu, njengoko nenzileyo unanamhla.

9Kuba uYehova wagxotha iintlanga ezinkulu nezomeleleyo phambi kwenu, kodwa nina akukho namnye owakhe wema phambi kwenu de kube namhla;

10indoda enye kuni isukele iwaka; ngokuba uYehova uThixo wenu nguye onilwelayo, njengoko wakuthethayo kuni.

11Zilumkeleni, ukuze nimthande uYehova uThixo wenu.

12Kungenjalo ungenza nangayiphi na indlela, ubuye uwathabathe amasalela ezi zizwe, eziseleyo phakathi kwenu, uwathabathe, ungene nawo, nawo abe nawe;

13Yazini ukuba uYehova, uThixo wenu, akasayi kuphinda azigqogqe ezi ntlanga phambi kwenu; kube ngumgibe nomgibe kuni, kube ziingozi emacaleni enu, noviko emehlweni enu, nide nicinywe kulo mhlaba ulungileyo, aninikileyo uYehova uThixo wenu.

14Yabonani, ndihamba ngendlela yehlabathi lonke namhlanje; yonke into yenzeke kuwe, akukho nto iye yasilela kuyo.

15Kuya kuthi ke kuni, njengoko onke amazwi alungileyo, abewathethile uYehova uThixo wenu kuni, anifikele; uYehova wozisela ububi bonke kuwe, akonakalisa kulo mhlaba ulungileyo, aninikileyo uYehova uThixo wakho.

16Xa nithe nawaphula umnqophiso kaYehova uThixo wenu, awaniwisela umthetho ngawo, nahamba nakhonza thixo bambi, nabanqula; kulapho uvuthe umsindo kaYehova kuni, nitshabalale kamsinya emhlabeni olungileyo aninikileyo.
