20 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi watsi: 2 “Ubokhuluma nema-Israyeli utsi kuwo: ‘Nobe ngumuphi um-Israyeli kanye nemuntfu losihambi lohlala ka-Israyeli lonikela ngemntfwana wakhe kuMoleki, nakanjani kufanele abulawe.+ Bantfu kufanele bamgcobe ngematje aze afe. 3 Loyo muntfu ngitawumelana naye, ngimncume* nakubantfu bakubo, ngobe unikele ngebantfwana bakhe kuMoleki, wangcolisa indzawo yami lengcwele+ futsi wahlambalata libito lami lelingcwele. 4 Nangabe bantfu bakuleyo ndzawo benta shengatsi abakuboni loko lomuntfu lakwentile futsi bangambulali, njengobe anikele ngebantfwana bakhe kuMoleki,+ 5 nakanjani mine ngitawumelana naloyo muntfu nemndeni wakhe.+ Ngitamncuma* kubantfu bakubo, yena kanye nabo bonkhe labahlanganyela naye ekugwadleni ngekutsi bakhonte Moleki.

6 “‘Nangabe umuntfu angetsembeki* kimi ngekutsi aye kubantfu labatangoma+ nakulababhulako,+ loyo muntfu ngitawumelana naye, ngimncume* nakubantfu bakubo.+

7 “‘Kufanele nitingcwelise kuze nibe ngcwele,+ ngobe nginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu. 8 Nibogcina nemitsetfo yami niphindze niyilandzele.+ NginguJehova, loyo loningcwelisako.+

9 “‘Nakukhona umuntfu localekisa babe wakhe nobe make wakhe, kufanele nakanjani abulawe.+ Njengobe acalekise babe wakhe nobe make wakhe, ingati yakhe itawuba setikwakhe.

10 “‘Naku lokufanele kwentiwe ngendvodza lephinga nemfati walomunye umuntfu: Indvodza lephinge nemfati wemuntfu wakubo, kufanele nakanjani ibulawe, yona nalomfati lephinge naye.+ 11 Indvodza leya ecansini nemfati wababe wayo, isuke ihlazise* babe wayo.+ Ngako lendvodza nalomfati kufanele babulawe, nengati yabo itawuba setikwabo. 12 Nangabe indvodza iya ecansini namalukatane wayo, bobabili kufanele nakanjani babulawe. Basuke bente intfo lephambene nemvelo, futsi ingati yabo itawuba setikwabo.+

13 “‘Nangabe indvodza iya ecansini nalenye indvodza, lamadvodza omabili asuke ente intfo leyenyanyekako.+ Ngako kufanele abulawe, nengati yawo itawuba setikwawo.

14 “‘Nangabe indvodza itsatsa umfati iphindze iye ecansini namaketala wayo, loko kusuke kuyintfo leyenyanyekako.*+ Bonkhe kufanele bashiswe ngemlilo+ kuze kutiphatsa lokubi kungachubeki kukhona emkhatsini wenu.

15 “‘Nakwenteka indvodza ilala nesilwane, nakanjani kufanele ibulawe. Nalesilwane naso kufanele sibulawe.+ 16 Nangabe umuntfu lomsikati aya esilwaneni kuze alale naso,+ kufanele nimbulale, yena kanye nalesilwane. Ngako lendvodza nalomuntfu lomsikati kufanele babulawe, nengati yabo itawuba setikwabo.

17 “‘Nakwenteka indvodza iya ecansini nadzadzewabo, kungaba yindvodzakati yababe wayo nobe indvodzakati yamake wayo, futsi ibone bungcunu balodzadzewabo, naye abone bungcunu bayo, loko kulihlazo.+ Bobabili kufanele babulawe embikwebantfu bakubo. Lendvodza ihlazise* dzadzewabo, ngako kufanele iphendvule ngenca yesono sayo.

18 “‘Nangabe indvodza iya ecansini nemuntfu lomsikati losesikhatsini, bobabili basuke bakhombise kungayihloniphi ingati.+ Ngako kufanele babulawe.

19 “‘Ungabokuya ecansini nasisi wamake wakho nobe na-anti wakho, ngobe nawenta njalo utawube uhlazisa sihlobo sakho sengati.+ Nobabili nitawuphendvula ngenca yesono senu. 20 Indvodza leya ecansini nemfati wemnakabobabe wayo isuke ihlazise* umnakabobabe wayo.+ Lendvodza nalomfati kufanele baphendvule ngenca yesono sabo. Kufanele bafe futsi ngeke babe nebantfwana. 21 Nangabe indvodza itsatsa umfati wemnakabo, loko kuyenyanyeka.+ Isuke ihlazise* umnakabo, ngako lomfati nalendvodza ngeke babe nebantfwana.

22 “‘Kufanele nigcine yonkhe imiyalo yami nayo yonkhe imitsetfo lengininike yona+ futsi niyilandzele,+ kuze ningalahlelwa ngephandle kwalelive lengitaninika lona.+ 23 Ningayilandzeli imikhuba yaletive lengiticosha embikwenu,+ ngobe titente tonkhe letintfo leti, futsi ngiyatenyanya.+ 24 Kungako ngitsite kini: “Lelive lato leligeleta lubisi neluju nitawulitsatsa, futsi ngitaninika lona libe lenu.+ NginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, lonente nehluka kuletinye tive.”+ 25 Kufanele nehlukanise emkhatsini wesilwane lesihlantekile nalesingcolile, nasemkhatsini wenyoni lehlantekile nalengcolile.+ Ningatingcolisi ngetilwane nangetinyoni letingcolile, nanganobe ngusiphi silwane lesihumako emhlabatsini lengitsite singcolile kini.+ 26 Kufanele nibe ngcwele embikwami ngobe mine Jehova ngingcwele,+ futsi nginenta kutsi nehluke kuletinye tive kuze nibe bantfu bami.+

27 “‘Nobe nguyiphi indvodza nobe umfati losangoma nobe lobhulako,* kufanele nakanjani abulawe.+ Bantfu kufanele bamgcobe ngematje aze afe, futsi ingati yalowo muntfu itawuba setikwakhe.’”
