3 “Nitawubusiswa emadolobheni, nibusiswe nasemasimini.+
4 “Nitawubusiswa ngebantfwana*+ labanyenti, ngetitselo temhlaba wenu, nangemfuyo lenyenti, lokungematfole etinkhomo nemazinyane etimvu.+
5 “Utawubusiswa bhasikidi+ wenu kanye nesitja+ senu sekubhucela inhlama.
6 “Nitawubusiswa kuto tonkhe tindzawo leniya kuto, niphindze nibusiswe nakuko konkhe lenikwentako.
7 “Jehova utakwenta kutsi titsa tenu letinihlaselako tincotjwe embikwenu.+ Titawuchamuka ngendlela yinye natinihlasela, kodvwa titawutsatsa tindlela letingu-7 letehlukene nasetinibalekela.+ 8 Jehova utaniletsela sibusiso kuto tonkhe tincolobane+ tenu nakuko konkhe lenikwentako, futsi nakanjani utawunibusisa kulelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninika lona. 9 Jehova utawunenta nibe bantfu labangcwele kuye,+ njengobe nje anetsembisile,+ ngobe niyachubeka nilalela imitsetfo yaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu nangenca yekutsi nihamba etindleleni takhe. 10 Bonkhe bantfu labasemhlabeni kutawudzingeka babone kutsi nibitwa ngelibito laJehova,+ futsi batawunesaba.+
11 “Kulelive Jehova lafunga kubokhokho benu kutsi utaninika lona,+ Jehova utakwenta kutsi nibe nebantfwana labanyenti, nibe nemfuyo lenyenti, ente nekutsi umhlaba wenu ukhicite.+ 12 Jehova utanivulela incolobane yakhe lenhle, lokungemazulu, kuze anise imvula ngesikhatsi sayo+ kulelive lenu aphindze anibusise kuko konkhe lenikwentako. Nitawuboleka tive letinyenti, kodvwa nine ngeke kudzingeke niboleke lutfo.+ 13 Jehova utaniphakamisa nibe ngetulu kwaletinye tive futsi ngeke tinibuse; nine nitawuba ncono kunato,+ ningabi ngephansi kwato, nangabe nje nitawuchubeka nilalela imitsetfo yaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu lenginitjela yona lamuhla kutsi niyigcine futsi niyente. 14 Kufanele ningakhweshi kuwo onkhe lamavi lenginitjela wona lamuhla, ningayi ngesekudla nobe ngesencele,+ bese nilandzela labanye bonkulunkulu futsi nibakhonte.+
15 “Kodvwa nangabe ningeke nililalele livi laJehova Nkulunkulu wenu ngekutsi ningayilandzeli yonkhe lemitsetfo kanye netimiso takhe lenginitjela tona lamuhla, nitawukwehlelwa ngito tonkhe leticalekiso futsi titawuba tinyenti:+
16 “Nitawucalekiswa emadolobheni, niphindze nicalekiswe nasemasimini.+
17 “Utawucalekiswa bhasikidi+ wenu kanye nesitja+ senu sekubhucela inhlama.
18 “Batawucalekiswa bantfwana benu,*+ futsi titawucalekiswa titselo temhlaba wenu kanye nematfole etinkhomo tenu nemazinyane etimvu tenu.+
19 “Nitawucalekiswa kuto tonkhe tindzawo lenitawukuya kuto, nako konkhe lenikwentako kutawucalekiswa.
20 “Jehova utawunehlisela sicalekiso, anente nidideke futsi anijezise kuko konkhe lenikwentako kuze kube ngulapho senicotfuliwe futsi senicedvwe ngekushesha, ngenca yetintfo letimbi lenitentile nangenca yekungishiya kwenu.+ 21 Jehova utaniletsela sifo lesingeke sisuke kuze kube ngulapho asanicedzile kulelive lenitawulitsatsa libe ngelenu.+ 22 Jehova utawunishaya ngesifo sesifuba sengati, ngemkhuhlane lomatima,+ ngekuvuvuka, ngekushisa lokukhulu, ngenkemba,+ ngemoya loshisako futsi titjalo tenu titakufa;+ letintfo titawunihlasela nize niphele. 23 Emazulu langetulu kwenu atawufana nelitfusi, umhlaba longephansi kwenu wona ufane nensimbi.+ 24 Jehova utawukwenta kutsi imvula letakuna eveni lenu ibe njengemphuphu nanjengelutfuli lolwehla luvela emazulwini, kuze kube ngulapho nine seniphelile. 25 Jehova utawubangela kutsi nincotjwe embikwetitsa tenu.+ Nitawuchamuka ngendlela yinye nanitihlasela, kodvwa nasenitibalekela nitawutsatsa tindlela letingu-7 letehlukene, futsi nitawuba yintfo leyetfusako kuyo yonkhe imibuso yemhlaba.+ 26 Tidvumbu tenu titawuba kudla kwato tonkhe tinyoni letisesibhakabhakeni nekwetilwane letisemhlabeni, futsi kute nalotaticosha.+
27 “Jehova utanishaya ngematfumba aseGibhithe, netilondza, nekucubuka nangekubhadluka kwesikhumba, lokutintfo leningeke nelapheke kuto. 28 Jehova utawunenta nihlanye, ningaboni emehlweni+ futsi nidideke.* 29 Nitawuphumphutsa emini, njengemuntfu longaboni emehlweni lophumphutsa ebumnyameni,+ futsi ngeke niphumelele kunobe yini leniyentako. Bantfu batawuhlale banihumusha baphindze banigebenge, kube kute nalonganisita.+ 30 Utawetsembisana nemuntfu lomsikati, kodvwa kufike lenye indvodza imgagadlele. Utawukwakha indlu, kodvwa ngeke uhlale kuyo.+ Utawuhlanyela insimu yemagilebisi, kodvwa ngeke utidle titselo tayo.+ 31 Inkhabi yakho itawuhlatjwa embikwakho, kodvwa kute ngisho nalencane inyama yayo lotawuyidla. Imbongolo yakho itakwebiwa embikwakho, futsi ngeke iphindze ibuye kuwe. Timvu takho titawuniketwa titsa takho, futsi kute lotakusita. 32 Emadvodzana nemadvodzakati enu atawuniketwa labanye bantfu nibuka,+ futsi nitawuhlale niwakhumbula, kodvwa tandla tenu ngeke tibe nemandla. 33 Titselo temhlaba wenu kanye nako konkhe lenikukhicitako kutawudliwa bantfu leningabati.+ Bantfu batawuhlale banigebenga futsi nitawuva buhlungu lobukhulu. 34 Lenitakubona ngemehlo enu kutanihlanyisa.
35 “Jehova utanishaya ngematfumba labuhlungu langelapheki. Lamatfumba atawuba semadvolweni nasemilenteni yenu, kusukela phansi etinyaweni kuze kuyewufika etulu enhloko. 36 Nine kanye nenkhosi lenitawutibekela yona, Jehova utawuniyisa eveni leningalati, nabokhokho benu lebebangalati.+ Kulelo live nitawukhonta labanye bonkulunkulu, lokubonkulunkulu labentiwe ngesigodvo nangematje.+ 37 Kuto tonkhe tive Jehova latawuniyisa kuto, bantfu batawetfuka nabanibona, banedzelele,* baphindze bahlekise ngani.+
38 “Nitawuhlanyela inhlanyelo lenyenti emasimini enu, kodvwa nitawuvuna lokuncane+ ngobe kutawudliwa sikhonyane. 39 Nitawuhlanyela emagilebisi ensimini yenu futsi niyinakekele, kodvwa kute liwayini lenitawulinatsa, kute nalenitakuvuna,+ ngobe kutawube kudliwe tibungu. 40 Nitawuba netihlahla temncumo kuyo yonkhe indzawo lenihlala kuyo, kodvwa kute emafutsa lenitawagcobisa ngobe titselo tenu temncumo titawube tihhohlokile. 41 Nitawutala emadvodzana nemadvodzakati, kodvwa ngeke ahlale angewenu, ngobe atawutfunjwa.+ 42 Libulo letilwanyakatane litawugcwala kuto tonkhe tihlahla tenu nakuto tonkhe titselo temhlaba wenu. 43 Umuntfu wekuhamba losemkhatsini wenu utawuchubeka aphakama kancane kancane abe ngetulu kwenu, futsi nine nitawuchubeka nehla kancane kancane. 44 Yena utaneboleka lokutsite, kodvwa nine kute lenitamboleka kona.+ Utawuba ngetulu kwenu, nine nibe ngephansi kwakhe.+
45 “Tonkhe leticalekiso+ titawuba setikwenu, tinehlele futsi tibe tinyenti kuze kube ngulapho senicotfuliwe,+ ngobe anizange nililalele livi laJehova Nkulunkulu wenu ngekutsi nigcine imitsetfo netimiso takhe lanitjele tona.+ 46 Leticalekiso titawuchubeka tinehlela, nine nebantfwana benu, tibe sibonakaliso nesecwayiso+ lesihlala njalo, 47 ngobe anizange nikhonte Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu ngekutfokota nangenhlitiyo lejabulako ngesikhatsi nisenenala yato tonkhe tintfo.+ 48 Jehova utawukwenta kutsi titsa tenu tinihlasele, futsi tona nitawutisebentela+ kodvwa nibe nilambile,+ nomile, nembetse emanikiniki futsi neswele yonkhe intfo. Utawubeka lijoka lensimbi etintsanyeni tenu kuze kube ngulapho anicotfula.
49 “Jehova utawukwenta kutsi nihlaselwe sive lesikhashane nani,+ lesisuka ekugcineni kwemhlaba. Lesive sitawunihlasela njengelusoti,+ futsi ngeke nilucondze lulwimi lwaso,+ 50 sive lesesabekako, lesingeke sibe neluvelo kulabakhulile nobe sibe nemusa kulabancane.+ 51 Bantfu bakuleso sive batawukudla ematfole etinkhomo tenu, emazinyane etimvu newetimbuti tenu, badle netitselo temhlaba wenu, kuze kube ngulapho nine senicotfuliwe. Ngeke banishiyele lutfo lolutinhlavu, liwayini lelisha nobe emafutsa, tinkhomo letisetincane nobe timvu, kuze kube ngulapho sebanincobile.+ 52 Batawunivimbetela, banivalele ngekhatsi kuwo onkhe emadolobha* enu lakulo lonkhe lelive lenu, kuze kube ngulapho tindvonga tenu letiphakeme naleticinile futsi lenetsembele kuto tiwa. Nakanjani batawunihlasela kuwo onkhe emadolobha lakulo lonkhe lelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninika lona.+ 53 Kutawudzingeka kutsi nidle bantfwana benu,* nidle inyama yemadvodzana enu nemadvodzakati enu,+ lawo Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninike wona, ngenca yekutsi nitawube nihlaselwe kamatima nangenca yekutsi titsa tenu tinibangela buhlungu.
54 “Ngisho nendvodza lenemusa futsi lephila kamnandzi ngeke isamvela umuntfu wakubo nobe umfati wayo lemtsandzako nobe emadvodzana ayo lasele, 55 futsi ngeke ibaphe inyama yemadvodzana ayo letawube iyidla, ngobe itawube ite lutfo ngenca yekutsi nitawuhlaselwa kamatima nangenca yekutsi titsa tenu titawube tinibangela buhlungu emadolobheni enu.+ 56 Nemfati lonemusa futsi lophila kamnandzi emkhatsini wenu, lobekangeke aze akucabange nekubeka lunyawo lwakhe emhlabatsini ngenca yekutsi uphila kamnandzi,+ ngeke asayivela indvodza yakhe layitsandzako, nendvodzana yakhe nobe indvodzakati yakhe, 57 ngeke asaba nendzaba ngisho nangaloko lokuphuma esiswini sakhe nakacedza kubeleka, ngisho nangemadvodzana akhe lawatele, ngobe konkhe loku utawukudla angabonwa, ngenca yekutsi nitawuhlaselwa kamatima nangenca yekutsi titsa tenu titawube tinibangela buhlungu emadolobheni enu.
58 “Naningeke niwagcine ngekucophelela onkhe lamavi aloMtsetfo labhalwe kulencwadzi,+ futsi ningeke nilesabe nelibito laJehova+ Nkulunkulu wenu lelikhatimulako nalelibabatekako,+ 59 Jehova utaniletsela tishayo letimatima kakhulu, nine kanye nebantfwana benu. Kutawuba tishayo letinkhulu naletingapheli,+ kanye netifo letibuhlungu naletingancamuki. 60 Utawukwenta kutsi niphindze nihlaselwe ngito tonkhe tifo taseGibhithe lebenitesaba, futsi nakanjani titawunibamba. 61 Ngetulu kwaloko, Jehova utawuniletsela tonkhe tinhlobo tetifo nobe tishayo letingakabhalwa kulencwadzi yeMtsetfo, kuze kube ngulapho senicotfuliwe. 62 Ngisho nobe nitawube senibanyenti ngangetinkhanyeti letisemazulwini,+ kutawusala labambalwa+ kakhulu kini ngenca yekutsi anikalilaleli livi laJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.
63 “Njengobe nje Jehova ake wakujabulela kunenta niphumelele futsi nibe banyenti, Jehova utawuphindze akujabulele kunibhubhisa nekunicotfula. Nitawucedvwa kulelive lesenitawulitsatsa libe ngelenu.
64 “Jehova utawunisakatela kuto tonkhe tive, kusukela ngale kwemhlaba kuze kuyewufika ngale kwawo,+ futsi nasenilapho kutawudzingeka nikhonte bonkulunkulu labentiwe ngesigodvo nangematje, lokubonkulunkulu nine nabokhokho benu lebeningabati.+ 65 Ngeke nibe nekuthula kuleto tive,+ netinyawo tenu ngeke tibe nayo indzawo yekuphumula. Esikhundleni saloko Jehova utawukwenta kutsi tinhlitiyo tenu tikhatsateke,+ nemehlo enu angaboni kahle futsi niphelelwe ngemandla.+ 66 Kuphila kwenu kutawuba sengotini lenkhulu futsi nitawuhlale netfukile busuku nemini. Nitawube ningaciniseki nangekutsi nitawusindza yini. 67 Ekuseni nitawutsi: ‘Kube mane sekuhlwile!’ kantsi nasekuhlwile nitawutsi: ‘Kube mane sekusile!’ ngenca yekutsi tinhlitiyo tenu titawube tetfukile nangenca yaloko lenitawube nikubona ngemehlo enu. 68 Nakanjani Jehova utawunibuyisela eGibhithe ngemkhumbi, nihambe endleleni lengakhuluma ngayo kini, ngatsi: ‘Angeke niphindze niyibone.’ Nasenilapho kutawudzingeka nititsengise etitseni tenu kuze nibe tigcili netigcilikati, kodvwa kutawuba bete longanitsenga.”
