4 “‘Kodvwa ningatidli letilwane letilandzelako letihlwabulako nobe letehlukanisa tinselo: likamela, ngobe liyahlwabula kodvwa aliyehlukanisi ngalokuphelele inselo. Ngako litawuba yintfo lengcolile kini.+ 5 Ningayidli nembila,+ ngobe iyahlwabula kodvwa ayiyehlukanisi ngalokuphelele inselo. Ngaleso sizatfu itawuba yintfo lengcolile kini. 6 Ningawudli logwaja, ngobe uyahlwabula kodvwa awuyehlukanisi ngalokuphelele inselo. Ngako utawuba yintfo lengcolile kini. 7 Nengulube+ ningayidli, ngobe yehlukanisa inselo ngalokuphelele kodvwa ayihlwabuli. Ngaleso sizatfu itawuba yintfo lengcolile kini. 8 Ningayidli inyama yaletilwane nobe nititsintse natifile, futsi titawuba nguletingcolile kini.+

9 “‘Nati tilwane leningatidla kuleto letihlala emantini: Nobe yini lenetimphiko tekuntjweza netincwencwe ningayidla, kungaba kutsi iselwandle nobe emfuleni.+ 10 Kodvwa nobe ngusiphi silwane lesiselwandle nobe lesisemfuleni lesite timphiko tekuntjweza nobe tincwencwe, kuto tonkhe tilwane letihamba tisicumbi nakuto tonkhe tilwane* letihlala emantini, leso silwane sitawuba ngulesenyanyekako kini. 11 Kufanele nititsatse njengaletenyanyekako, futsi ningayidli inyama yato,+ nitenyanye nalapho setifile. 12 Konkhe lokuhlala emantini lokute timphiko tekuntjweza netincwencwe kutawuba yintfo leyenyanyekako kini.

13 “‘Nati tilwane letindizako lokufanele tenyanyeke kini futsi akukafaneli nitidle ngobe tiyenyanyeka: Lusoti,+ lingce, ingculungculu,+ 14 nhloyile, nato tonkhe tinhlobo tabolohheya, 15 nato tonkhe tinhlobo temahhwabayi, 16 inshi,* sikhova, inkanku, tonkhe tinhlobo taboloklebe, 17 sikhova lesincane, sahhukulu, sikhova lesinetindlebe letindze, 18 imfuketi, livuba, inkwazi, 19 dvoye, nato tonkhe tinhlobo tabomatalatingwenya, tsekwane, kanye nelilulwane. 20 Tonkhe tilwane letinetimphiko futsi letihamba tilibulo* tiphindze tibe netinyawo letine tiyintfo leyenyanyekako kini.

21 “‘Kuletilwane letinetimphiko futsi letihamba tilibulo tiphindze tibe netinyawo letine, ningadla kuphela leto letinemilente yekugcuma. 22 Nati leningatidla: Tinhlobonhlobo tesikhonyane, letinye tintsetse letidliwako,+ emadziya, nemaboni. 23 Tonkhe letinye tilwane letinetimphiko futsi letihamba tilibulo tiphindze tibe netinyawo letine titawuba yintfo leyenyanyekako kini. 24 Letilwane titawunenta ningcole. Wonkhe umuntfu lotitsintsako nasetifile utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.+ 25 Nobe ngubani lotitsatsako nasetifile kufanele awashe tingubo takhe,+ futsi utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.

26 “‘Nobe ngusiphi silwane lesingayehlukanisi ngalokuphelele inselo nalesingahlwabuli sitawuba yintfo lengcolile kini. Wonkhe umuntfu lositsintsako utawuba ngulongcolile.+ 27 Emkhatsini wetilwane letinetinyawo letine, tonkhe letinetidladla titawuba yintfo lengcolile kini. Wonkhe umuntfu lotitsintsako nasetifile utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe. 28 Umuntfu lotitsatsako nasetifile kufanele awashe tingubo takhe,+ futsi utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.+ Letilwane titawuba yintfo lengcolile kini.

29 “‘Nati tilwane letihumako letitawuba nguletingcolile kini: Chakidze, ligundvwane,+ tonkhe tinhlobo tetibankhwa,* 30 intfulo, chamu, holoholo, umgololo, kanye nelunwabu. 31 Letilwane titawuba nguletingcolile kini.+ Wonkhe umuntfu lotitsintsako nasetifile utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.+

32 “‘Nakwenteka tifa futsi tiwela entfweni letsite, leyontfo itawuba ngulengcolile, kungaba sitja lesentiwe ngesigodvo, ingubo, sikhumba, nobe indvwangu yelisaka. Ngisho nome kungusiphi sitja, kufanele senyiwe emantini, futsi sitawuba ngulesingcolile kuze kuhlwe. Ngemuva kwaloko sitawubese siba ngulesihlantekile. 33 Nangabe letilwane tiwela esitjeni selubumba, leso sitja kufanele siphihlitwe. Nobe yini lebeyikulesitja itawuba yintfo lengcolile.+ 34 Nome ngukuphi kudla lokutawutsintfwa ngemanti labekulesitja kutawuba ngulokungcolile, futsi nobe yini lenatfwako lebeyikuleso sitja nayo itawuba ngulengcolile. 35 Nome yini letitawuwela kuyo nasetifile itawuba yintfo lengcolile. Leyontfo kufanele iphihlitwe, ngisho nobe kunguhhavini nobe kusitofu lesincane. Letintfo titawuba nguletingcolile futsi titawuhlala tingcolile kini. 36 Umtfombo nesicobho semanti ngiko kuphela lokutawuhlala kuhlantekile, kodvwa nobe ngubani lotsintsa letilwane nasetifile utawuba ngulongcolile. 37 Nangabe letilwane letifile tiwela enhlanyelweni leyawuhlanyelwa, leyo nhlanyelo ihlantekile. 38 Kodvwa nangabe kutselwa emanti kulenhlanyelo, bese kuyo kuwela incenye yalesilwane lesifile, lenhlanyelo itawuba yintfo lengcolile kini.

39 “‘Nangabe silwane lenivumelekile kusidla sifa, nobe ngubani lositsintsako utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.+ 40 Nome ngubani losidlako nasesifile kufanele awashe tingubo takhe futsi utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe.+ Nome ngubani lositsatsako nasesifile, naye kufanele awashe tingubo takhe futsi utawuba ngulongcolile kuze kuhlwe. 41 Tonkhe tilwane letisemhlabeni letihamba tisicumbi, tiyenyanyeka.+ Ngaleso sizatfu akukafaneli nitidle. 42 Ningadli nome ngusiphi silwane lesihamba ngesisu nobe lesinetinyawo letine, ningadli nanobe ngutiphi tilwane letihamba tisicumbi futsi letinetinyawo letinyenti, ngobe letilwane tiyenyanyeka.+ 43 Ningatenti kutsi nenyanyeke ngekudla nobe ngutiphi tilwane letihamba tisicumbi, futsi ningatingcolisi bese niba ngulabangakahlanteki ngenca yato.+ 44 Mine nginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu,+ ngako kufanele nitingcwelise kuze nibe ngcwele,+ ngobe mine ngingcwele.+ Ningatingcolisi ngekudla nobe ngutiphi tilwane letisemhlabeni letihamba tisicumbi. 45 Mine nginguJehova, lowanihola wanikhipha eveni laseGibhithe kuze ngikhombise kutsi nginguNkulunkulu wenu.+ Kufanele nibe ngcwele,+ ngobe mine ngingcwele.+

46 “‘Ngulona-ke umtsetfo lomayelana netilwane letinetinyawo letine, tilwane letindizako, tonkhe tilwane* letihlala emantini, nato tonkhe tilwane letisemhlabeni letihamba tisicumbi, 47 kuze kutewuba nemehluko emkhatsini walokungcolile nalokungakangcoli nasemkhatsini wetilwane leningatidla naleto lokungakafaneli nitidle.’”+
