13
1“Ukuba kuvela umshumayeli okanye umlawuli-maphupha phakathi kwenu, evakalisa ummangaliso okanye umqondiso oza kubakho, 2ize ke kwenzeke ngokwaloo mmangaliso okanye loo mqondiso, aze athi: ‘Masilandele *thixo bambi’ – thixo abo eningazange nibazi – aqhubele phambili athi: ‘Masibanqule,’ 3ze ningawathatheli ngqalelo amazwi aloo mshumayeli okanye loo mphuphi. Kaloku uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu uyanivavanya, khon' ukuze aqonde ukuba nimthanda ngengondo iphela nangomoya uphela na. 4NguNdikhoyo uThixo wenu emanimlandele, nimhlonele. Mthobeleni, niyenze imiyalelo yakhe; futhi mkhonzeni, nibambelele kuye. 5Nabani na ongumshumayeli okanye umphuphi oniqhubela ekuvukeleni uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu mbulaleni. Kaloku uNdikhoyo lo ngulo wanikhupha eJiputa apho naningamakhoboka khona. Umntu onjalo uzama ukunilukuhla, khon' ukuze niphulukane nehambo eniyalelwe yona nguNdikhoyo uThixo wenu. Ubugwenxa mabususwe mpela phakathi kwenu.
6“Nkqu nomntakwenu, noba ngunyana okanye intombi, mhlawumbi umfazi wakho omthandayo, noba sisihlobo sakho esisenyongweni, singakulukuhla sikukhuthaze ngasese ngelithi: ‘Masiye kunqula thixo bambi’ – thixo abo ongabaziyo nabangazange banqulwe nangooyihlo-mkhulu, 7oothixo bezizwe eziningqongileyo okanye abo bezizwe ezisekudeni. 8Kambe ke ungaze umqhelisele nakancinci; ungamphulaphuli. Ungaze ube nalusini nanceba kuye; ungaze umqume. 9Mbulale nya; mayibe nguwe kanye ophambili, baze ke nabanye bakulandele. 10Ewe, mgibisele ngamatye umbulale, kuba ebezama ukukuqweqwedisa, khon' ukuze umlahle uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho owakukhulula ulikhoboka eJiputa. 11Aya kuthi ke akuyiva loo nto, atsho onke amaSirayeli oyike, kungaze kubekho mntu phakathi kwenu ulenzayo isikizi elinjalo.
12“Xa senihlala kwezo zixeko aniphe zona uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu, kungenzeka nive 13ukuba kukho zinkewu zilulahlekisileyo uhlanga apho esixekweni, zisithi: ‘Masiye kunqula abanye oothixo’ – thixo abo eningabaziyo. 14Nakuba niluvile ke umingi-mingi olunjalo, luphandeni ngokucokisekileyo; nithi ke ukuba luyinyani, kwaye kucace mhlophe ukuba ngenene likho isikizi elinjalo elenzekileyo, 15ze nibabulale bonke abemi beso sixeko ndawonye nemfuyo yabo. Ewe, vuthululani konke kutshabalale. 16Ziqokeleleni zonke izinto ezizezâbo bantu, nizifumbe ebaleni lembutho. Watshiseni onke loo maxhoba ndawonye nesixeko eso, nenzele uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu umnikelo otshiswayo. Mayisale ilinxuwa nanini nanini, ingaze iphinde yakhiwe. 17Ningabokuzishiyela nento le kwebezimiselwe ukutshatyalaliswa. Ukuba niyenzile ke loo nto uNdikhoyo uya kwetha emsindweni wakhe, abe novelwano ngani. Ngenene wosikwa yinceba, anandise ngokwesithembiso sesifungo sakhe kooyihlo-mkhulu 18xa nithe nayithobela imiyalelo yakhe endinimisele yona namhlanje, nakwenza konke akufunayo uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu.”
