UMose ukhuluma nama-Israyeli
1Lawa angamazwi uMose awakhuluma ku-Israyeli wonke ngaphesheya kweJordani ehlane ethafeni eliphambi koLwandle LweShelf, phakathi kwePharanu neThofeli neLabani neHaseroti neDisagabi.
2(Kuwuhambo lwezinsuku eziyishumi nanye ukusuka eHorebe ngomgwaqo osuka entabeni yaseSeyiri ukuya eKadeshi-Barineya.)
3Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amane, ngenyanga yeshumi nanye, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, uMose wakhuluma kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli njengakho konke uJehova ayebayale ngakho;
4Ngemva kokubulala uSihoni, inkosi yama-Amori, owayehlala eHeshiboni, no-Ogi inkosi yaseBashani, owayehlala e-Ashitaroti e-Edireyi.
5Ngaphesheya kweJordani, ezweni lakwaMowabi, uMose waqala ukumemezela lo mthetho, wathi:
6UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wakhuluma kithi eHorebe, wathi: “Senihlale isikhathi eside kule ntaba.
7Jikelani, nimuke, niye entabeni yama-Amori, nasezindaweni zonke eziseduze nayo, emathafeni, nasezintabeni, nasesigodini, naseningizimu, nangaselwandle, nxazonke zezwe lamaKhanani, nangasentshonalanga. ILebanoni, kuze kufike emfuleni omkhulu, umfula u-Ewufrathe.
8Bhekani, ngiyakwethula izwe kini; ngenani nilidle izwe uJehova alifungela oyihlo o-Abrahama, u-Isaka noJakobe ukulinika bona nenzalo yabo emva kwabo.
9Ngakhuluma kini ngaleso sikhathi, ngathi: Anginakunithwala ngedwa;
10UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu unandisile; bhekani, namuhla ningangezinkanyezi zezulu ngobuningi.
11(UJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo makanandise ngokuphindwe kayinkulungwane kunalokhu eniyikho, anibusise njengokuthembisa kwakhe kini!)
12Mina ngedwa ngingakuthwala kanjani ukuhlupheka kwenu nomthwalo wenu nokuxabana kwenu na?
13Zithatheleni amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, ahlakaniphileyo, aziwayo ezizweni zenu, ngiwabeke abe ngababusi phezu kwenu.
14Nangiphendula nathi: ‘Kuhle ukuba senze lokho okushilo.’
15Ngase ngithatha izikhulu zezizwe zenu, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo nabadumileyo, ngabamisa baba yizinhloko phezu kwenu, izinduna zenkulungwane nezinduna zekhulu nezinduna zamashumi ayisihlanu nezinduna zeshumi nezinduna ezizweni zenu.
16Ngabayala abahluleli benu ngaleso sikhathi ngathi: ‘Zwanini amacala phakathi kwabafowenu, nahlulele ngokulunga phakathi kwalowo nalowo nomfowabo nomfokazi okuye.
17Ningakhethi abantu ekwahluleleni; kepha niyakuzwa omncane nomkhulu; akufanele wesabe ubuso bomuntu; ngoba ukwahlulela kungokukaNkulunkulu; necala elinisindayo nililethe kimi, ngilizwe.
18Futhi nganiyala ngaleso sikhathi zonke izinto okufanele nizenze.
Ugwadule luyanyakaza
19Sasuka eHorebe, sadabula lonke ihlane elikhulu nelesabekayo enalibonayo endleleni yasentabeni yama-Amori, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wasiyala; safika eKadeshi Barineya.
20Ngathi kini: Senifikile entabeni yama-Amori uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ayakusinika yona.
21Bhekani, uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ulibekile izwe phambi kwenu; khuphukani nilidle, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyihlo eshilo kini; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla.
22Lase lisondela kimi, kwaba yilowo nalowo, lathi: ‘Sizothuma amadoda phambi kwethu, azosihlolela izwe, asitshele ukuthi iyiphi indlela okufanele sihambe ngayo nokuthi iyiphi imizi esiyofika kuyo.
23Lalunga-ke leli zwi kimi; ngathatha kini amadoda ayishumi nambili, yanye esizweni.
24Base bephenduka bakhuphukela entabeni, bafika esigodini sase-Eshikoli, basihlola.
25Athatha ezandleni zawo ezithelweni zezwe, asilethela kithi, asazisa, athi: ‘Leli yizwe elihle uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu azakusinika lona.
26Kodwa anithandanga ukukhuphuka, kepha nahlubuka emyalezweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
27Nakhonona ematendeni enu, nathi: ‘Ngokuba uJehova wayesizondile, wasikhipha ezweni laseGibithe ukuze asinikele esandleni sama-Amori ukuba asibhubhise.
28Siyakukhuphukelaphi na? abafowethu badikibalisa izinhliziyo zethu ngokuthi: Abantu bakhulu futhi bade kunathi; imizi mikhulu, ibiyelwe ngezindonga kuze kufike ezulwini; futhi sabona amadodana ama-Anaki lapho.
29Ngase ngithi kini: Ningabesabi, ningabesabi.
30UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ohamba phambi kwenu uyakunilwela njengakho konke akwenza kini phambi kwamehlo enu eGibithe;
31Ehlane, lapho wabona khona ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakuzala, njengalokho umuntu ezala indodana yakhe, endleleni yonke owahamba ngayo, naze nafika kule ndawo.
32Kodwa kule ndaba anikholwanga nguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu;
33owahamba phambi kwenu endleleni ukunifunela indawo yokumisa amatende enu, emlilweni ebusuku, ukuze anibonise indlela eniyakuhamba ngayo, nangefu emini.
34UJehova wezwa izwi lamazwi enu, wathukuthela, wafunga wathi:
35Impela akakho kulawa madoda alesi sizukulwane esibi oyobona lelo zwe elihle engafunga ukulinika oyihlo,
36Khululani uKalebi indodana kaJefune; uyakulibona, ngimnike izwe alinyathele yena nabantwana bakhe, ngokuba umlandele uJehova ngokupheleleyo.
37UJehova wangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, wathi: ‘Nawe awuyikungena khona.
38Kodwa uJoshuwa, indodana kaNuni, omi phambi kwakho, nguyena oyakungena khona; mkhuthaze, ngokuba uyakwenza u-Israyeli adle ifa lalo.
39Abancane benu enasho ukuthi bayakuba yimpango, nabantwana benu ababengakwazi ngalolo suku okuhle nokubi bayakungena khona, ngibanike lona, balidle.
40Kepha nina phendukani, ningene ehlane ngendlela yoLwandle Olubomvu.
41Nase niphendula, nathi kimi: ‘Sonile kuJehova; siyakukhuphuka silwe njengakho konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu asiyale ngakho. Lapho nibhincile, kwaba yilowo nalowo izikhali zakhe zempi, nalungela ukukhuphukela entabeni.
42UJehova wathi kimi: “Batshele ukuthi: Ningenyuki niyokulwa; ngoba kangikho phakathi kwenu; funa nihlulwe phambi kwezitha zenu.
43Kungakho ngikhulume kini; anilalelanga, kepha nahlubuka ezwini likaJehova, nakhuphuka intaba ngokugabadela.
44Ama-Amori ahlala kuleyo ntaba aphuma anihlangabeza, anixosha, njengokwenza kwezinyosi, anichitha eSeyiri kwaze kwaba seHorma.
45Nabuya nakhala phambi kukaJehova; kepha uJehova akalilalelanga izwi lakho, akakuzwanga.
46Nahlala izinsuku eziningi eKadeshi njengezinsuku enazihlala khona;
