Ngakho zinakekeleni; ngoba anibonanga mfanekiso mhla uJehova ekhuluma kini eHorebe ephakathi komlilo.
Ukuze ningonakalisi, nizenzele isithombe esibaziweyo, umfanekiso wanoma yisiphi isimo, umfanekiso wowesilisa noma wowesifazane,
umfanekiso wazo zonke izilwane ezisemhlabeni, umfanekiso wazo zonke izinyoni ezinamaphiko ezindiza emoyeni,
umfanekiso wakho konke okunwabuzelayo emhlabeni, umfanekiso wezinhlanzi zonke ezisemanzini ngaphansi komhlaba;
futhi ungaphakamiseli amehlo akho ezulwini, nalapho ubona ilanga, nenyanga, nezinkanyezi, yebo, lonke ibandla lasezulwini, lixoshwe ukuba likhuleke kuzo, likhonze lezo uJehova UNkulunkulu wahlukanisela izizwe zonke ngaphansi kwalo lonke izulu.
Kepha uJehova wanithatha, wanikhipha esithandweni sensimbi, eGibithe, nibe yifa lakhe, njenganamuhla.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uJehova wangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, wafunga ukuthi ngeke ngiwele iJordani nokuthi ngeke ngingene kulelo zwe elihle uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aninika lona njengefa.
Kodwa kufanele ngifele kuleli zwe, angiyikuwela iJordani; kepha niyakudabula, nilidle lelo zwe elihle.
Ziqapheleni ukuba ningakhohlwa isivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu asenza nani, nizenzele isithombe esibaziweyo noma umfanekiso wakho konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akwenqabele ngakho.
Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ungumlilo oqothulayo, unguNkulunkulu onomhawu.
Nxa nizala abantwana nabazukulu, senihlale isikhathi eside ezweni, niziphange, nenze isithombe esibaziweyo noma umfanekiso wanoma yini, nenze okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ukuba amthukuthelise zala:
Ngifakaza kini namuhla izulu nomhlaba ukuthi niyakubhubha masinyane ezweni eniwela iJordani ukuya kulo ukulidla; aniyikuzandisa izinsuku zenu kulo, kepha niyakushaywa ngesiqalekiso.
UJehova uyakunihlakaza phakathi kwezizwe, nisale niyingcosana phakathi kwezizwe uJehova eyakuniholela kuzo.
Kumelwe nikhonze lapho onkulunkulu, umsebenzi wezandla zomuntu, imithi namatshe, abangaboni, abangezwa, abangadli, abangahogi.
Kodwa uma nifuna uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu lapho, niyomthola, uma nimfuna ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu nangawo wonke umphefumulo wenu.
Lapho usekuhluphekeni, zonke lezi zinto zikwehlela, ekupheleni kwezinsuku, uma uphendukela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ulalele izwi lakhe;
Ngoba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho unguNkulunkulu olesihawu;
Manje buzani ezinsukwini ezidlule, ezazingaphambi kwenu, kusukela osukwini uNkulunkulu adala ngalo umuntu emhlabeni, futhi nibuze kusukela kolunye uhlangothi lwezulu kuze kufike kolunye uhlangothi, uma kukhona into enjengalena enkulu, noma ingabe kakade yezwa?
Bake balizwa yini izwi likaNkulunkulu likhuluma liphakathi komlilo, njengalokho nina nizwile, baphile, na?
Noma uNkulunkulu wafuna ukuzibuthela isizwe phakathi kwesinye isizwe ngezilingo, nangezibonakaliso, nangezimangaliso, nangempi, nangesandla esinamandla, nangengalo eyeluliweyo, nangokwesabeka okukhulu, njengakho konke uJehova akwenzileyo. UNkulunkulu wenze kini eGibhithe phambi kwamehlo enu?
Lokhu sekwaziwe kini, ukuze nazi ukuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu; akakho omunye ngaphandle kwakhe.
Wenza ukuba uzwe izwi lakhe esezulwini ukuba anifundise; nasemhlabeni wanikhombisa umlilo wakhe omkhulu; nawezwa amazwi akhe ephakathi komlilo.
Futhi ngenxa yokuthi wabathanda oyihlo, ngakho wakhetha inzalo yabo ngemva kwabo, futhi wakukhipha phambi kwamehlo akhe eGibhithe ngamandla akhe amakhulu;
ukuba axoshe phambi kwakho izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla kunawe, ukuba akungenise, akunike izwe lazo libe yifa lakho, njengokuba kunjalo namuhla.
Yazi-ke namuhla, ukubeke enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu phezulu ezulwini naphansi komhlaba; akekho omunye.
Ugcine izimiso zakhe nemiyalo yakhe engikuyala ngayo namuhla ukuba kukuhambele kahle wena nabantwana bakho emva kwakho, zande izinsuku zakho emhlabeni uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika wona kuze kube phakade.
