Imithetho kweminye imiba
1Musa ukuxoka; musa ukunxulumana nabangendawo, ukuba ube lingqina elingalungisiyo. 2Musani ukulandela isininzi ukuya kwenza ububi; kwaye ungathethi ukwala emva kwabaninzi ukonakalisa umgwebo. 3Yaye musa ukungqina kwihlwempu ngemeko yalo. 4Xa uthe wayifumana inkomo yotshaba lwakho, nokuba liesile lalo, libhadula, wolibuyisela kulo. 5Ukuba uthe walibona iesile lentiyo yakho libotshelelwe phantsi komthwalo walo, ungafuni ukulinceda, lincede lincede. 6Musa ukulonakalisa ibango lesisweli sakho ecaleni laso; 7Suka entethweni yobuxoki; uze ungambulali omsulwa nolilungisa, kuba ndiya kumvelela ongendawo. 8Musa ukwamkela isipho, ngokuba isipho simfamekisa izilumko, siphenule amazwi amalungisa. 9Kanjalo, ningamcinezeli owasemzini, kuba niyayazi intliziyo yomphambukeli, kuba naningabaphambukeli nani ezweni laseYiputa. 10Wowuhlwayela umhlaba wakho iminyaka emithandathu, ubuthe iziqhamo zawo; 11ke ngomnyaka wesixhenxe mayiphumle, izole; ukuze adle amahlwempu abantu bakowenu; ekushiyeni kwawo kwadliwa ngamarhamncwa. Yenza okufanayo ngesidiliya sakho nangomnquma wakho. 12Wowusebenza umsebenzi wakho imihla emithandathu, uphumle ngomhla wesixhenxe, iphumle inkomo yakho ne-esile lakho, aphumle unyana wesicakakazi sakho nomphambukeli. 13Kugcineni konke endikuthethileyo kuni; amagama thixo bambi uze ungawakhankanyi, ungavakali emlonyeni wakho. 14Ndenzele isidlo kathathu ngonyaka; 15Uze uwenze umthendeleko wezonka ezingenagwele (imihla esixhenxe uya kudla izonka ezingenagwele, njengoko ndakuwisela umthetho, ngexesha elimisiweyo lenyanga enguAbhibhi; ngokuba waphuma ngayo eYiputa, nasekuyeni kolalayo ecaleni kwam akaveli). 16Nomthendeleko wokuvuna, wentlahlela yemigudu yakho, oyihlwayeleyo ezweni, nomthendeleko wokuphela konyaka, ekuhlanganiseni kwakho ukuxelenga kwakho ezweni; 17Izihlandlo ezithathu ngomnyaka, onke amadoda akowenu obonakala phambi kweNkosi uYehova. 18Igazi ledini lam musa ukulisondeza ndawonye nento enegwele; nenqatha lombingelelo wam malingabi kude kuse. 19Owamazibulo ezweni lakho uze uwangenise endlwini kaYehova uThixo wakho. Usenokungaliboni itakane ebisini lukanina. 20Uyabona, ndithuma isithunywa sezulu, ukuba sikukhokele, sikugcine endleleni, sikufikise endaweni endiyilungisileyo. 21Sigcine, uliphulaphule izwi laso, ungasigculeli; kuba engayi kuluxolela ukreqo lwenu, kuba igama lam liphezu kwakhe. 22Ke ukuba nithe naliphulaphula izwi lakhe, nakwenza konke endikuthethayo; ndoba lutshaba lweentshaba zakho, ndibe lutshaba lweentshaba zakho. 23Ngokuba isithunywa sam siya kukukhokela, sikuse kuma-Amori, namaHeti, namaPerizi, namaKanan, namaHeti, namaYebhusi; ndibatshabalalise. 24Uze ungaqubudi koothixo bazo, ungabakhonzi, ungenzi imisebenzi yabo; kodwa babethe ngesiqalekiso esikrakra nize niyaphule imifanekiso yabo eqingqiweyo ngokupheleleyo. 25Mkhonzeni uYehova uThixo wenu, asisikelele isonka sakho, namanzi akho; yaye ndiya kusisusa isifo phakathi kwenu. 26Akuyi kugxothwa amathole awo, nongazaliyo ezweni lakho; ndiya kulizalisa inani lemihla yakho; 27Ndiya kuzithuma phambi kwakho izothuso zam, ndizibulale zonke iintlanga oya kufika kuzo, iintshaba zakho zonke ndizenze zikunikele ikhosi; 28Ndiza kuthumela oonomeva phambi kwakho abaya kuwagxotha amaHebhere, amaKanan namaHiti phambi kwakho. 29Andiyi kuwagxotha phambi kwakho ngamnyaka mnye; hleze ilizwe kube senkangala kulo, ande amarhamncwa elizwe phezu kwenu. 30Ndiza kubagxotha kancinane phambi kwakho ude wande ulidle ilifa ilizwe. 31Ndoyimisa imida yakho, ithabathele eLwandle oluBomvu, ise elwandle lwamaFilisti, ithabathele entlango, ise kuMlambo umNayile; kuba abemi behlabathi ndiya kubanikela esandleni sakho; uwagxothe phambi kwakho. 32Uze ungenzi mnqophiso nabo okanye noothixo babo. 33Mabangemi ezweni lakho, hleze bakwenze ucakwe; ngenxa yokuba xa uthe wabakhonza oothixo bazo, ngokuqinisekileyo baya kuba ngumgibe kuwe.
