1Uma kukhona ukuphikisana phakathi kwabantu, beza esahlulelweni ukuba abahluleli babahlulele; khona-ke bayakulungisisa olungileyo, balahle omubi.

2Uma omubi efanele ukushaywa, umahluleli amlalise phansi, amshaye phambi kwakhe njengokwecala lakhe ngenani elithile.

3Angamshaya imivimbo engamashumi amane, kungabi ngaphezu kwalokho; ukuthi, uma engasamehluli, amshaye imivimbo eminingi ngaphezu kwalezi zivimbo, umfowenu abe mnene kuwe.

4Ungayifaki isifonyo inkabi lapho ibhula ukolweni.

Yini elindelwe ekhweni

5Uma izelamani behlala ndawonye, omunye wabo ashone engenamntwana, umkamufi makangendi owezizwe; umfowabo wendoda yakhe kumelwe angene naye amthathe abe ngumkakhe futhi afeze isibopho. Womfowabo womuntu ngaye.

6Izibulo alizalayo kumelwe liphumelele egameni lomfowabo ofileyo, ukuze igama lakhe lingacinywa kwa-Israyeli.

7Uma indoda ingathandi ukuthatha umkamfowabo, umkamfowabo makakhuphuke aye esangweni kumalunga, athi: ‘Umfowabo wendoda yami uyala ukuvusa umfowabo igama kwa-Israyeli, akayikugcwalisa umthetho. Umsebenzi womfowabo womyeni wami.

8Khona-ke amadoda amadala omuzi wakubo kumelwe ambize akhulume naye; futhi uma emi eduze kwawo futhi ethi: Angifuni ukumthatha;

9Khona umkamfowabo uyakufika kuye phambi kwamalunga, akhumule isicathulo sakhe onyaweni lwakhe, amkhafulele ebusweni, aphendule athi: Kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kulowo muntu osendlini yomfowabo.

10Igama layo liyakubizwa kwa-Israyeli ngokuthi: Indlu yokhumula isicathulo sakhe.

11Lapho amadoda exabana, futhi umfazi wenye esondela ukuze akhulule indoda yakhe esandleni salowo oyishayayo, futhi elule isandla sakhe futhi ayibambe ngasese;

12Khona-ke kumelwe umnqume isandla, iso lakho ngeke limhawukele.

13Kungenzeka ungabi nezisindo ezahlukene esikhwameni sakho, ezinkulu nezincane.

14Ungabi nezilinganiso ezahlukene endlini yakho, esikhulu nesincane.

15Kodwa kumelwe ube nesisindo esiphelele nesilungile, kufanele ube nesilinganiso esiphelele nesilungile, ukuze izinsuku zakho zande ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona.

16Ngoba bonke abenza izinto ezinjalo labo bonke abenza okubi bayisinengiso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

17Khumbula lokho u-Amaleki akwenza kuwe endleleni ekuphumeni kwenu eGibithe;

18Ukuthi wakuhlangabeza endleleni, washaya ingemuva lakho, bonke ababuthakathaka emva kwakho, lapho usukhathele futhi ukhathele; futhi akazange amesabe uNkulunkulu.

19Ngakho-ke, lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ekuphumuza kuzo zonke izitha zakho nxazonke, ezweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona njengefa ukuba ulidle, uyakwesula ukukhunjulwa kuka-Amaleki phansi kwezulu.
