Yabona, ndikuwisele umthetho wokuba womelele, ukhaliphe. Musa ukunkwantya, ungaqhiphuki umbilini; ngokuba uYehova uThixo wakho unawe, apho sukuba usiya khona.

Ize ingesuki incwadi yaló myalelo emlonyeni wakho; uze ucinge ngayo imini nobusuku, ukuze ugcine, ukwenze konke okubhaliweyo kuyo; ngokuba wòba nokuphumelela ngendlela yakho oko, ukwenze ngengqiqo oko.

Kodwa ke yomelela, ukhaliphe kunene, ukuze ugcine ukwenza ngokomyalelo wonke, awakuwisela wona uMoses umkhonzi wam. Musa ukutyekela ekunene nasekhohlo kuwo, ukuze wenze ngengqiqo apho sukuba usiya khona.

Akuyi kuma mntu phambi kwakho, yonke imihla yokudla kwakho ubomi; njengoko ndandinoMoses, ndoba nawe; andiyi kukuyekela, andiyi kukushiya.

Yomelela ukhaliphe; ngokuba wena uya kulabela bona aba bantu elo lizwe ndabafungela lona ooyise, ukuba ndiya kubanika.

Iindawo zonke eziya kunyathelwa yintende yonyawo lwenu, ndininikile, njengoko ndathethayo kuMoses.

UMoses umkhonzi wam ufile; suka ke ngoko, uyiwele iYordan le, wena naba bantu bonke, niye kwelo zwe ndibanika lona oonyana bakaSirayeli.

Kwathi emva kokufa kukaMoses, umkhonzi kaYehova, wathetha uYehova kuYoshuwa unyana kaNun, umlungiseleli kaMoses, wathi

Kuthabathele entlango nakwiLebhanon le, kuse emlanjeni omkhulu, emlanjeni ongumEfrati, lonke ilizwe lamaHeti, kuse elwandle olukhulu ngasekutshoneni kwelanga, woba ngumda wenu.

Bonke abantu abaphikisa umlomo wakho, bangàwaphulaphuli amazwi akho entweni yonke osiwisela umthetho ngayo, mababulawe; kodwa ke yomelela, ukhaliphe wena.

Candani phakathi kweminquba, nibawisele umthetho abantu, nithi, Zilungiseleni umphako, ngokuba kusele imihla emithathu, ukuze niyiwele iYordan le, ningene nilihluthe ilizwe elo aninikayo uYehova uThixo wenu, ukuba limiwe nini.
