15 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi, watsi: 2 “Tjela ema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Naseningenile kulelive lengitaninika lona kutsi nihlale kulo,+ 3 bese nenta umnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova, ngesilwane lenisitsetse emhlambini wetinkhomo, nobe wetimvu nobe wetimbuti, kungaba kutsi ngumnikelo wekushiswa+ nobe ngumhlatjelo wekwenta sifungo lesikhetsekile nobe ngumnikelo wekutitsandzela+ nobe loyo leniwenta emikhosini yenu+ futsi lowentelwa kutsi ube liphunga lelimnandzi* kuJehova,+ 4 loyo loletsa lomnikelo kufanele aphindze aletse kuJehova umnikelo walokutinhlavu wafulaha locolisakele+ logcwele esikoteleni lesingemalitha lamabili,* lobhicwe nelitha* yemafutsa. 5 Kufanele ninikele nangelitha yeliwayini libe ngumnikelo walokunatfwako, lihambisane nemnikelo wekushiswa+ nobe umhlatjelo welizinyane lemvu lelidvuna. 6 Naninikela ngemvu lendvuna, nibokwenta nemnikelo walokutinhlavu ngafulaha locolisakele logcwele esikoteleni lesingemalitha langaba sihlanu,* lobhicwe nemafutsa langetudlwana kwelitha. 7 Nibonikela nangeliwayini lelingetudlwana kwelitha, kuze libe ngumnikelo walokunatfwako lotawuba liphunga lelimnandzi* kuJehova.

8 “‘Kodvwa naninikela ngenkhomo lendvuna kutsi ibe ngumnikelo wekushiswa,+ nobe umhlatjelo wekwenta sifungo lesikhetsekile+ nobe umhlatjelo wekuthula loya kuJehova,+ 9 kufanele ihambisane nemhlatjelo walokutinhlavu+ wafulaha locolisakele logcwele esikoteleni lesingemalitha langaba ngu-7,* lobhicwe nemafutsa langaba ngemalitha lamabili. 10 Nibonikela nangeliwayini lelingaba ngemalitha lamabili kuze libe ngumnikelo walokunatfwako,+ futsi libe ngumnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo loliphunga lelimnandzi* kuJehova. 11 Nguloku lokufanele nikwente naninikela ngenkunzi, ngemvu lendvuna, nobe ngemvu lendvuna leseyincane nobe ngembuti. 12 Ngisho nobe titingakhi tilwane leninikela ngato, nguleyo indlela lokufanele nitinikele ngayo, kuye ngekutsi tingakhi. 13 Nguleyo indlela onkhe ema-Israyeli ekutalwa lokufanele ente ngayo iminikelo leyentiwa ngemlilo, leliphunga lelimnandzi* kuJehova.

14 “‘Nangabe umuntfu wekuhamba lohlala nani nobe loyo lesekwendlule titukulwane letinyenti solo ahleti nani, naye enta umnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo, loliphunga lelimnandzi* kuJehova, abowenta ngalendlela leniwenta ngayo.+ 15 Munye umtsetfo lotawusebenta kum-Israyeli nakumuntfu wekuhamba lohlala kanye nani, futsi lona kutawuba ngumtsetfo lohlala njalo kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu. Umuntfu wekuhamba kufanele afane nem-Israyeli embikwaJehova.+ 16 Kutawusebenta umtsetfo munye kanye nemyalo munye kumuntfu longum-Israyeli nakumuntfu wekuhamba lohlala emkhatsini wenu.’”

17 Jehova waphindze watsi kuMosi: 18 “Khuluma nema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Naningena kulelive lengitaninika lona, 19 futsi nidla sinkhwa* sakhona,+ kufanele nente umnikelo kuJehova. 20 Kufanele nente umnikelo wetitselo tenu tekucala+ talokutinhlavu lokuhhatekile, kube tinkhwa letiyindingilizi. Nibowunikela njengemnikelo waloko lenikutsetse ebaleni lekubhulela. 21 Letinye taletitselo tenu tekucala talokutinhlavu lokuhhatekile nitawunikela ngato kuJehova kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu.

22 “‘Nangabe nenta liphutsa, futsi ningayigcini yonkhe lemitsetfo Jehova layitjele Mosi, 23 nayo yonkhe imiyalo Jehova laninike yona asebentisa Mosi kusukela ngelilanga Jehova layisho ngalo kuchubeke kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu, 24 futsi nangabe loko lenikwentile nikwente ngeliphutsa, nebantfu bangakakuboni, sonkhe lesive kufanele sinikele ngenkunzana, ibe ngumnikelo wekushiswa loliphunga lelimnandzi* kuJehova. Lenkunzana itawuhambisana nemnikelo walokutinhlavu kanye nemnikelo walokunatfwako ngendlela lokuhlale kwentiwa ngayo,+ bese kunikelwa nangembuti leseyincane letawuba ngumnikelo wesono.+ 25 Umphristi utakwenta kutsi sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli sibuyisane naNkulunkulu siphindze sicolelwe+ ngobe besente liphutsa, futsi sawuletsa umnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova nemnikelo wesono kuJehova ngenca yeliphutsa laso. 26 Sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli sitawucolelwa kanye nebantfu bekuhamba labahlala emkhatsini waso, ngobe loku bekuliphutsa labo bonkhe bantfu.

27 “‘Nakwenteka umuntfu ona ngeliphutsa, kufanele aletse imbuti lensikati lenemnyaka munye letawuba ngumnikelo wesono.+ 28 Umphristi utakwenta kutsi lomuntfu lowone ngeliphutsa embikwaJehova abuyisane naNkulunkulu, kuze lesono lasentile sicolelwe futsi naye atsetselelwe.+ 29 Nangabe umuntfu one ngeliphutsa, kufanele kusebente umtsetfo munye kum-Israyeli wekutalwa nakumuntfu wekuhamba lohlala kanye nani.+

30 “‘Kodvwa umuntfu lowona ngemabomu,+ ngisho nobe angum-Israyeli wekutalwa nobe angumuntfu wekuhamba, usuke ahlambalata Jehova futsi kufanele abulawe. 31 Loyo muntfu kufanele abulawe nakanjani ngobe wedzelele livi laJehova, wephula nemtsetfo wakhe.+ Ngako lomuntfu utawutfwala licala lakhe.’”+

32 Ngesikhatsi ema-Israyeli asehlane, akhandza lenye indvodza itfota tinkhuni ngeliSabatha.+ 33 Labo labebakhandze lendvodza itfota bayiletsa kuboMosi na-Aroni, nakuso sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli. 34 Babese bayayivalela+ ngobe bekusengakashiwo kutsi kufanele yentiwe njani.

35 Jehova watsi kuMosi: “Lendvodza kufanele ibulawe nakanjani,+ futsi sonkhe sive kufanele siyigcobe ngematje ngephandle kwendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo.”+ 36 Ngako-ke sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli sayikhiphela ngephandle kwendzawo lokuhlalwa kuyo, sayigcoba ngematje yaze yafa, njengobe nje Jehova abetjele Mosi.

37 Jehova wachubeka watsi kuMosi: 38 “Khuluma nema-Israyeli, uwatjele kutsi atentele timvakaza emiphetfweni yetingubo tawo, kuto tonkhe titukulwane tawo. Kufanele afake nentsambo leluhlata njengesibhakabhaka ngenhla kwaletimvakaza.+ 39 ‘Nibokwenta letimvakaza, kuze nanitibona nikhumbule yonkhe imitsetfo yaJehova futsi niyigcine.+ Ningabolandzela tinhlitiyo tenu kanye nemehlo enu, lokungiko lokwenta kutsi ningetsembeki kimi.*+ 40 Letimvakaza titanisita nikhumbule, futsi nitayilalela yonkhe imitsetfo yami, nibe ngcwele kuNkulunkulu wenu.+ 41 NginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, lowanikhipha eveni laseGibhithe kuze ngikhombise kutsi nginguNkulunkulu wenu.+ NginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.’”+
