Senikubonile konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akwenzileyo kuzo zonke lezi zizwe ngenxa yenu; ngoba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nguye owanilwelayo.

Yibani nesibindi kakhulu nigcine, nenze konke okulotshwe encwadini yomthetho kaMose, ukuze ningaphambuki kuyo niye kwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo;
ukuze lingangeni phakathi kwalezi zizwe eziseleyo phakathi kwenu; futhi ungaliphathi igama labonkulunkulu babo, ufunge ngabo, ungabakhonzi, ungabakhothameli.
Kepha bambelelani kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, njengalokho nenzile kuze kube namuhla.
Ngokuba uJehova waxosha izizwe ezinkulu nezinamandla phambi kwenu, kepha nina akukho muntu okwazile ukuma phambi kwenu kuze kube namuhla.
Umuntu oyedwa phakathi kwenu uyakuxosha inkulungwane; ngoba uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nguye onilwelayo njengokuthembisa kwakhe kini.
Ziqapheleni, ukuze nimthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
Uma kungenjalo, buyelani emuva nibambelele ensalini yalezi zizwe ezisele phakathi kwenu, nizithathe ningene nazo, nazo kanye nani;
Yazini impela ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akasayikuxosha nesisodwa salezi zizwe phambi kwenu; kodwa ziyakuba yizihibe nezihibe kini, neziswebhu ezinhlangothini zenu nameva emehlweni enu, nize nibhubhe kuleli zwe elihle uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aninike lona.
Bhekani, namuhla ngihamba ngendlela yomhlaba wonke, niyazi ngenhliziyo yenu yonke nangomphefumulo wenu wonke ukuthi akuphuthanga nento eyodwa kuzo zonke izinto ezinhle uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu azikhulumile ngani; konke kwenzeke kuwe, akuphuthanga nento eyodwa kukho.
Kuyakuthi-ke, njengalokho konke okuhle uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akuthembisa khona, sekukwehlele; ngakho uJehova uyakwehlisela phezu kwakho konke okubi, aze akubhubhise kuleli zwe elihle uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunike lona.
