1Ngakho wothanda uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ugcine njalo izimiso zakhe, nezimiso zakhe, nezimiso zakhe, nemiyalo yakhe.
2Yazini nina namuhla, ngokuba angikhulumi kini bantwana abangabonanga, nabangabonanga, isijeziso sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nobukhulu bakhe, nesandla sakhe esinamandla, nengalo yakhe eyeluliweyo.
3Nezimangaliso zakhe nemisebenzi yakhe ayenza phakathi kweGibithe kuFaro inkosi yaseGibithe nakulo lonke izwe lakhe;
4Nalokho akwenza empini yaseGibithe, nakumahhashi abo, nasezinqoleni zabo; ukuthi wabakhukhula kanjani amanzi aseShelfsee, benixosha, nokuthi uJehova wababhubhisa kanjani kuze kube namuhla;
5nalokho akwenza kini ehlane, naze nafika kule ndawo;
6nalokho akwenza kuDathani no-Abiramu, amadodana ka-Eliyabe, indodana kaRubeni, ukuthi umhlaba wawuvula umlomo wawo, wabagwinya, bona nezindlu zabo, namatende abo, nempahla yonke ababeyifa. Wonke u-Israyeli:
7Kodwa amehlo enu abonile zonke izenzo zikaJehova ezinkulu azenzile.
8Ngakho anogcina yonke imiyalo engikuyala ngayo namuhla ukuba nibe namandla, nithathe izwe eningena kulo ukulidla;
9ukuze nandise izinsuku ezweni uJehova alithembisa oyihlo ngesifungo ukulinika bona nenzalo yabo, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi.
10Ngokuba izwe eningena kulo ukulidla alinjengezwe laseGibithe enaphuma kulo, lapho wahlwanyela khona imbewu yakho, wayinisela ngonyawo lwakho njengensimu yemifino.
11Kodwa izwe eniya kulo ukulidla liyizwe lezintaba nezigodi, eliphuza amanzi emvula yezulu.
12Izwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho alinakekelayo; amehlo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akulo njalo, kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka kuze kube sekupheleni konyaka.
13Uma nilalela nokulalela imiyalo yami enginiyala ngayo namuhla ukuba nithande uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nimkhonze ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu nangawo wonke umphefumulo wenu,
14ngiyakuninika imvula yezwe lakini ngesikhathi sayo, imvula yokuqala nemvula yamuva, ukuze nibuthe amabele enu, nothuli lwenu, namafutha akho.
15Ngiyakuthumelela izinkomo zakho utshani edlelweni lakho, udle, usuthe.
16Xwayani ukuba inhliziyo yenu ingakhohliswa, niphambuke, nikhonze abanye onkulunkulu, nikhuleke kubo;
17Khona-ke ulaka lukaJehova lunivuthela, wavala izulu ukuba kungabikho mvula, nomhlabathi unganiki izithelo zawo; futhi ningashabalali masinyane ezweni elihle uJehova aninika lona.
18Ngakho-ke kumelwe nisuse la mazwi ami enhliziyweni yenu nasemphefumulweni wenu niwabophe njengophawu esandleni senu, ukuze abe njengezibopho phakathi kwamehlo enu.
19Kumelwe uzifundise izingane zakho ngokukhuluma ngazo lapho uhlezi endlini yakho nalapho uhamba endleleni nalapho ulala nalapho uvuka.
20Kumelwe ulilobe ezinsikeni zomnyango wendlu yakho nasemasangweni akho.
21Ukuze izinsuku zenu nezinsuku zabantwana benu zande ezweni uJehova alithembisa oyihlo ngesifungo ukubanika lona, njengezinsuku zezulu emhlabeni.
22Ngokuba uma nigcina nokugcina yonke le miyalo enginiyala ngayo ukuba niyenze, nithande uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, nihambe ezindleleni zakhe zonke, ninamathele kuye;
23UJehova uyakuzixosha zonke lezi zizwe phambi kwenu, nidle ifa lezizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla kunani.
24Yonke indawo lapho amathe ezinyawo zenu eyakunyathela khona iyakuba ngeyenu, kusukela ehlane naseLebanoni, kusukela emfuleni, umfula u-Ewufrathe kuze kube selwandle lwasekugcineni kuyakuba ngumkhawulo wenu.
25Akuyikuma muntu phambi kwenu, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu uyakubeka ukwesatshwa kwenu nokwesabeka kwenu ezweni lonke eniyakunyathela kulo, njengokusho kwakhe kini.
26Bhekani, nginethula namuhla ngesibusiso nesiqalekiso;
27Isibusiso, uma nilalela imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu enginiyala ngayo namuhla:
28Futhi isiqalekiso, uma ningayilaleli imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, kodwa niphambuka endleleni enginiyala ngayo namuhla ukulandela abanye onkulunkulu eningabazi.
29Kuyakuthi lapho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho esekungenise ezweni oya kulo ukulidla, ubeke isibusiso entabeni yaseGerizimu nesiqalekiso entabeni yase-Ebali.
30Azikho yini ngaphesheya kweJordani endleleni eya ekushoneni kwelanga ezweni lamaKhanani akhileyo ekamu malungana neGiligali ngasemathafeni aseMore na?
31Ngoba lizawela iJordani lingene ukulidla ilizwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu azalinika lona, njalo lizalidla lihlale kulo.
32Kumelwe wenze ngokucophelela zonke izimiso nezahlulelo engizibeka phambi kwakho namuhla.
