1Ngosuku lwamashumi omabini anesine lwaloo nyanga, bahlanganisana oonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba bazile ukudla, banxibe iingubo ezimnyama, benomhlaba.

2Bazahlula oonyana bakaSirayeli kuzo zonke iintlanga, besuka bazixela izono zabo, nobugwenxa booyise.

3Bema endaweni yabo baza bafunda inxalenye yesine yemini encwadini yomthetho kaYehova uThixo wabo; esinye isahlulo sesine sasivuma izono zabo, sinqula uYehova uThixo wabo.

4Wema ezinyukweni zabaLevi ooYeshuwa, noBhani, noKademiyeli, noShebanja, noBhuni, noSherebhiya, noBhani, noKenani, badanduluka ngezwi elikhulu kuYehova uThixo wabo.

5AbaLevi, ooYeshuwa, noKademiyeli, noBhani, noHasabhenja, noSherebja, noHodiya, noSebanja, noPetaya, bathi, Sukani nime, nimdumise uYehova uThixo wenu ngonaphakade kanaphakade, nilidumise igama lakhe elibekekileyo, eliphakame ngaphezu kwayo yonke indumiso, nemibongo yonke.

6Wena, ewe, wena unguYehova wedwa; Wena wenza izulu, nezulu lawo amazulu, nomkhosi walo wonke, umhlaba nento yonke ephezu kwawo, iilwandle neento zonke ezikhona, uzidlisa ubomi zonke ezo; kwaye imikhosi yezulu ikunqula.

7Wena unguYehova uThixo owanyula uAbram waza wamkhupha eUre yamaKhaledi waza wamthiya igama elinguAbraham;

8Yaye wayimisa intliziyo yakhe enyanisekileyo phambi kwenu waza wenza umnqophiso kunye naye wokunika ilizwe lamaKanan namaHiti nama-Amori namaPersi namaYebhusi namaGirgashi ukuba alinike lona, ndithi, ‘Ndiza kulinika ilizwe lamaKanan namaHiti nama-Amori namaPersi namaYebhusi namaGirgashi ukuba alinike lona. Yithi, wolinika imbewu yakhe. Yehova, ndiwafezekisile amazwi akho; ngokuba ulilungisa;

9Ndazibona iintsizi zoobawo eYiputa, ndakuva ukukhala kwabo eLwandle oluBomvu;

10Wenza imiqondiso nezimanga kuFaro, nakubakhonzi bakhe bonke, nakubantu bonke belizwe lakhe, ngokuba ubusazi ukuba banekratshi kubo; Nantso ke indlela owazenzela ngayo igama, njengokuba kunjalo namhlanje.

11Walwahlula ulwandle phambi kwabo, baluwela ulwandle kowomileyo; Wabaphosa enzulwini ababandezeli babo, Njengelitye emanzini alwayo.

12Wabakhokela ngelifu emini; nasebusuku ngesibane somlilo, ukubakhanyisela endleleni abafanele bahambe ngayo.

13Kananjalo wehla waya entabeni yeSinayi, wathetha kubo usemazulwini, wabanika imiyalelo eyinyaniso, nemiyalelo eyinyaniso, nomyalelo olungileyo, nomyalelo olungileyo;

14wabazisa ngesabatha yakho engcwele, wabawisela umthetho, nemithetho, nemithetho, ngesandla somkhonzi wakho uMoses.

15Wabanika isonka sasezulwini ngenxa yokulamba kwabo, wabavelisela namanzi engxondorheni ngenxa yokunxanwa kwabo; wabathembisa ukuba baya kulidla ilifa ilizwe, owabaphakamisela isandla sakho, ukuba wobanika lona.

16Bakhukhumala bona noobawo bethu, bazenza lukhuni iintamo zabo, àbayiphulaphula imithetho yakho.

17Kwaye akavumanga ukuphulaphula, kwaye akazange acinge ngemimangaliso yakho owayenzayo phakathi kwabo; Wazenza lukhuni iintamo zabo, wabenza umlawuli ezikreqweni zabo, babuyela ebukhobokeni babo; kodwa wena unguThixo oxolelayo, onemfesane, onemfesane, oqinisekileyo, onenceba enkulu, akwabafulathela.

18Ewe, xa bazenzela ithole elityhidiweyo, bathi, ‘Nguye lo uThixo wenu owanikhuphayo eYiputa, wanizisela intlekele enkulu;

19Akubashiyanga ke ngobuninzi benceba yakho entlango; Ayesuki kubo isithunzi selifu emini, ukuba abahambe endleleni; kwanesikhuni somlilo ebusuku ukuze sibabonise ukukhanya nendlela abafanele bahambe ngayo.

20Wabanika umoya wakho olungileyo, ukuba ubafundise, akuyicima imana yakho emlonyeni wabo, wabanika amanzi ngenxa yenxano labo.

21Wabaxhasa iminyaka emashumi mane entlango, abaswela nto; iimpahla zabo azonakalanga bubudala, neenyawo zabo azidumbanga.

22Ngapha koko, wabanika izikumkani neentlanga waza wazahlula zaba zimbombo, ukuze balidle ilifa ilizwe lakwaSihon nelizwe likakumkani waseHeshbhon nelizwe likaOgi ukumkani waseBhashan.

23Wabandisa oonyana babo njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu, wabazisa kwelo zwe, owafunga kooyise ngalo, ukuba baya kulidla ilifa.

24Bangena ke aba bantwana, balihlutha ilizwe, wabathoba phambi kwabo abemi belo lizwe, amaKanan, wabanikela esandleni sabo, nookumkani bawo nabantu belo lizwe, ukuba bawenze njengoko bebeya kwenza.

25Bazithimba izixeko ezinqatyisiweyo nomhlaba otyebileyo baza bathimba izindlu ezizele zizinto zonke, amaqula nambiweyo, nezidiliya nemithi yomnquma nemithi yeziqhamo yamininzi; batye, bahluthe, batyebe, badle ukulunga kwakho okukhulu.

26Bakhukhumala, bagwilika kuwe, babuya emyalelweni wakho, bababulala abaprofeti bakho ababengqina ukubabuyisela kuwe;

27Ngenxa yoko wabanikela esandleni seentshaba zabo, ezabaqumbisayo; ngokobuninzi benceba yakho wabanika abasindisi, wabahlangula esandleni seentshaba zabo.

28Ke ekuphumleni kwabo, baya kuphinda benze ububi phambi kwakho; ngenxa yoko wabanikela esandleni seentshaba zabo, ukuba babalawule; wabakhulula ngokuphindaphindiweyo ngeenceba zakho;

29Bangqine, ukuba ubabuyisele emyalelweni wakho; ke bona bakhukhumala, abayiphulaphula imithetho yakho; bagqitha emithethweni yakho, awothi umntu ewenzile aphile ngayo; bayenza lukhuni igxalaba neentamo zabo, abaphulaphula.

30Wabanyamezela iminyaka emininzi, wangqina ngabo ngomoya wakho, ngabaprofeti bakho; noko abeva; ke ngoko, wabanikela ezandleni zabantu baloo mazwe.

31Ngenxa yenceba yakho enkulu, akubatshabalalisanga kuphele, akwabashiya; ngokuba unguThixo onemfesane, unemfesane.

32Ke kaloku, Thixo wethu, Thixo omkhulu, onamandla, owoyikekayo, owugcinayo umnqophiso nenceba, mabungabi ncinane phambi kwakho bonke ububi obusifikeleyo, nookumkani bethu, nabathetheli bethu, naphezu kwethu ababingeleli nabaprofeti bethu, noobawo, nabantu bakho bonke, kususela kwimihla yookumkani baseAsiriya, unanamhla.

33Uyilungisa wena kuko konke okusizelayo; ngokuba yena wenze okulungileyo, ke thina senze okubi.

34Ookumkani bethu, nabathetheli bethu, nababingeleli bethu, noobawo, abawugcinanga umyalelo wakho, abayiphulaphula imithetho yakho, necebo lakho, owabawisela lona.

35Ngenxa enokuba bengakukhonzanga ebukumkanini babo, nangobabalo lwakho olukhulu owabanikayo, nasezweni elibanzi, elichumayo, owabanikayo; ababuyanga ezenzweni zabo ezimbi.

36Yabona, singabakhonzi namhla; nelizwe owalinika oobawo, ukuba sidle iziqhamo zalo nokulunga kwalo, nanku singabakhonzi bakho.

37Ke lona linika isivuno esikhulu kookumkani obamise phezu kwethu ngenxa yezono zethu; Imizimba yethu neenkomo zethu zezabo ngokuthanda kwabo, kwaye sisendlaleni enkulu.

38Ngezo zinto zonke senza umnqophiso oqinileyo, sawubhala; ziqinise abathetheli bethu, nabaLevi bethu, nababingeleli bethu;
