UDuteronomi 8
1Yonke imiyalo enginiyala ngayo namuhla niyakugcina ukuyenza ukuba niphile, nande, ningene nilidle izwe uJehova alifungela oyihlo.
2Woyikhumbula yonke indlela uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuholile ngayo le minyaka engamashumi amane ehlane ukuba akuthobise, akuvivinye, azi okusenhliziyweni yakho, uma uthanda ukugcina imiyalo yakhe noma qha.
3Wakuthobisa, wakulambisa, wakupha imana ongalazi, noyihlo ababengalazi; ukuze akwazise ukuthi umuntu akaphili ngesinkwa sodwa, kodwa ngamazwi onke aphuma emlonyeni kaJehova.
4Izingubo zakho azikugugelanga, nonyawo lwakho aluvuvukalanga kule minyaka engamashumi amane.
5Kumelwe uqaphele enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi njengalokhu umuntu elaya indodana yakhe, kanjalo uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakulaya wena.
6Ngakho wogcina imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, uhambe ezindleleni zakhe, umesabe.
7Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukungenisa ezweni elihle, izwe lemifudlana yamanzi, nemithombo, nezitwa eziphuma ezigodini nasemagqumeni;
8Izwe likakolweni nelebhali nezivini nemikhiwane namahalananda; izwe lamafutha omnqumo nezinyosi;
9Izwe lapho uyakudla khona ungenayo isinkwa, awuyikuswelakala kulo; izwe elimatshe alo ayinsimbi, nezintaba zalo ningamba ithusi.
10Lapho usudlile usuthe, kumelwe udumise uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngezwe elihle akunike lona.
11Ziqaphele ukuba ungamkhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngokungagcini imiyalo yakhe, nezimiso zakhe, nezimiso zakhe engikuyala ngakho namuhla.
12Bhekani, nxa senidlile, nasutha, nakha izindlu ezinhle, nihlale kuzo;
13Uma izinkomo zakho nezimvu zakho zanda, isiliva lakho negolide lakho kwanda, nakho konke onakho kwanda;
14Khona inhliziyo yakho iziphakamisile, ukhohlwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owakukhipha ezweni laseGibithe, endlini yobugqila;
15owanihola ogwadule olukhulu nolwesabekayo, okwakukhona kulo izinyoka ezinomlilo nawofezela nesomiso, lapho kwakungekho manzi khona; owanikhiphela amanzi edwaleni;
16owakupha ehlane imana oyihlo ababengayazi, ukuba akuthobise, akuvivinye, akwenzele okuhle ekupheleni kwakho;
17Futhi uthi enhliziyweni yakho: Amandla ami namandla esandla sami kungizuzele le ngcebo.
18Kodwa kumelwe nicabange ngoJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ngoba nguye onipha amandla okuzuza inotho ukuze aqinise isivumelwano sakhe asithembisa okhokho benu ngesifungo njenganamuhla.
19Uma ukhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ulandele abanye onkulunkulu, ubakhonze, ubakhothamele, ngiyafakaza ngani namuhla ukuthi niyakubhubha nokubhubha.
20Njengezizwe uJehova azichitha phambi kwenu, niyakubhubha kanjalo; ngoba awulilalelanga ilizwi le Nkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
