4 “Nine ma-Israyeli, lalelani lemitsetfo nalemiyalo lenginifundzisa yona nalokufanele niyigcine, kuze niphile+ futsi ningene nilitsatse lelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wabokhokho benu laninike lona. 2 Ningengeti lutfo kulamavi lenginitjela wona, futsi ningakhiphi lutfo kuwo,+ kuze nigcine imitsetfo yaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu lenginitjela yona.
3 “Natibonela ngewenu loko Jehova lakwenta endzabeni yaBhali wasePheyori. Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu wabacotfula bonkhe bantfu lebebalandzela Bhali.+ 4 Kodvwa nonkhe nine lenibambelele kuJehova Nkulunkulu wenu nisaphila nalamuhla. 5 Mine nginifundzisile imitsetfo kanye nemiyalo,+ njengobe nje Jehova Nkulunkulu wami angitjelile, kuze niyigcine nasenikulelive lenitalitsatsa libe ngelenu. 6 Kufanele niyigcine ngekucophelela+ ngobe loku kutawukwenta bantfu labatakuva ngayo yonkhe lemitsetfo babone kutsi nihlakaniphile+ futsi ninekucondza.+ Labantfu batawutsi: ‘Kuyacaca kutsi lesive lesikhulu sihlakaniphile futsi sinekucondza.’+ 7 Ngusiphi nje sive lesikhulu lesinabonkulunkulu labasondzelene naso ngendlela Jehova Nkulunkulu wetfu lasedvute ngayo natsi nobe nini nasimbita?+ 8 Ngusiphi nje sive lesikhulu lesinemitsetfo nemiyalo lelungile njengawo wonkhe loMtsetfo lengininika wona lamuhla?+
9 “Nibocaphela niphindze nitigadzisise kuze ningatikhohlwa tintfo lenitibonile, futsi tingasuki etinhlitiyweni tenu, kuko konkhe kuphila kwenu. Nibotitjela emadvodzana enu nebatukulu benu.+ 10 Ngelilanga lenema ngalo embikwaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu eHorebe, Jehova watsi kimi: ‘Hlanganisa labantfu ndzawonye embikwami kuze beve emavi lengitabatjela wona,+ khona batewufundza kungesaba+ kuwo onkhe emalanga ekuphila kwabo emhlabeni futsi bafundzise nemadvodzana abo.’+
11 “Ngako nasondzela nema ngephansi kwalentsaba lebeyivutsa umlilo kuyewufika etulu emazulwini.* Kwakumnyama futsi kunemafu lamakhulu lamnyama.+ 12 Jehova wabese ukhuluma nani akulomlilo.+ Naweva emavi akhe, kodvwa anibonanga lutfo+—kwakuvakala livi nje kuphela.+ 13 Wanitjela ngesivumelwane sakhe,+ leso laniyala kutsi nisigcine, lokuyiMitsetfo Lelishumi.*+ Ngemuva kwaloko lemitsetfo wayibhala etibhelekeceni tematje letimbili.+ 14 Ngaleso sikhatsi Jehova wangitjela kutsi nginifundzise imitsetfo nemiyalo lokufanele niyigcine kulelive lenitalitsatsa libe ngelenu.
15 “Ngako-ke, njengobe ningabonanga lutfo ngelilanga Jehova lakhuluma ngalo nani eHorebe, ekhatsi emlilweni, ticaphelisiseni 16 kute ningenti lokubi ngekutentela tithico letibatiwe letingumfanekiso wanobe yini, ningenti nemfanekiso wemuntfu lomdvuna nobe walomsikati,+ 17 nobe umfanekiso wanobe ngusiphi silwane lesisemhlabeni, newanobe nguyiphi inyoni lendiza esibhakabhakeni,+ 18 nobe umfanekiso wanobe yini lehumako emhlabatsini, newanobe nguyiphi inhlanti lesemantini ngephansi kwemhlaba.+ 19 Naniphakamisa emehlo enu nibuka emazulwini, futsi nibone lilanga, inyeti netinkhanyeti, lokungilo lonkhe libutfo lasemazulwini, ningalingeki bese niyakukhotsamela niphindze nikukhonte.+ Leto tintfo, Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu utinike bonkhe bantfu labangephansi kwemazulu. 20 Kodvwa nine Jehova wanitsatsa wanikhipha eGibhithe, eveni lelifana nemlilo lomkhulu wekuncibilikisa insimbi, kuze nibe bantfu bakhe,*+ njengobe nje ningibo lamuhla.
21 “Jehova wangitfukutselela ngenca yenu,+ wafunga nekutsi ngeke ngiyewele iJordane nobe ngingene kulelive lelihle Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninike lona kutsi libe lifa lenu.+ 22 Mine ngitawufela lapha, ngeke ngiyewele iJordane,+ kodvwa nine nitayewela, nilitsatse lelive lelihle. 23 Nibociniseka kutsi anisikhohlwa sivumelwane Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu lasenta nani.+ Ningatenteli tithico letibatiwe letingumfanekiso wanobe yini, njengobe nje Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu analele kutsi nente loko.+ 24 Ngobe Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu ungumlilo locotfulako,+ unguNkulunkulu lofuna kukhontwe yena yedvwa.+
25 “Naseninemadvodzana kanye nebatukulu, seniphile nesikhatsi lesidze kulelive futsi nenta ngekukhohlakala, nakha tithico letibatiwe+ tanobe nguluphi luhlobo, naphindze nenta lokubi emehlweni aJehova Nkulunkulu wenu futsi ngaleyo ndlela namcansula,+ 26 lamuhla ngenta emazulu nemhlaba abe bofakazi labamelene nani, bekutsi ngekushesha nitawuphela nya kulelive lenitakwewela iJordane kuze nilitsatse libe ngelenu. Ngeke nihlale sikhatsi lesidze kulo kodvwa nitawucotfulwa niphele.+ 27 Jehova utanihlakatela etiveni,+ futsi kutawusindza labambalwa kuphela kini+ nanisemkhatsini waletive Jehova latawube anihlakatele kuto. 28 Kuleyo ndzawo nitawukhonta bonkulunkulu labentiwe bantfu ngesigodvo nangematje,+ lokubonkulunkulu labangaboni, labangeva, labangadli nalabangahogeli.
29 “Nanitawufuna Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu nikuleyo ndzawo, nimfune ngenhlitiyo yenu yonkhe nangemphefumulo* wenu wonkhe,+ nakanjani nitamtfola.+ 30 Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi, nasenicindzeteleke kakhulu futsi tonkhe letintfo setentekile kini, nitawubuyela kuJehova Nkulunkulu wenu niphindze nilalele livi lakhe.+ 31 Ngobe Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu unguNkulunkulu lonesihawu.+ Ngeke anilahle nobe anicotfule nobe asikhohlwe sivumelwane lafunga ngaso kubokhokho benu.+
32 “Nyalo-ke butani ngemalanga asendvulo, ngaphambi kwesikhatsi senu, kusukela ngelilanga Nkulunkulu ladala ngalo umuntfu emhlabeni; hlolani kusukela ngale kwemazulu kuya ngale kwawo. Ikhona yini intfo lenkhulu kangaka leyake yenteka nobe lenjengayo leyake yevakala?+ 33 Bakhona yini labanye bantfu labake beva Nkulunkulu akhuluma asemlilweni, ngendlela nine lenamuva ngayo kodvwa nachubeka niphila?+ 34 Nkulunkulu wake watitsatsela yini sive emkhatsini walesinye sive, asebentisa tehlulelo, tibonakaliso, timangaliso,+ imphi,+ sandla lesinemandla,+ nesandla leselulekile kanye netintfo letimangalisako,+ njengobe Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu anentela eGibhithe embikwemehlo enu? 35 Nine nikhonjisiwe letintfo kuze nati kutsi Jehova unguNkulunkulu weliciniso,+ kute lomunye ngaphandle kwakhe.+ 36 Wanenta neva livi lakhe lelisuka emazulwini kuze aneluleke, wenta nekutsi nibone umlilo lomkhulu emhlabeni, futsi neva nemavi akhe labephuma emlilweni.+
37 “Ngenca yekutsi abebatsandza bokhokho benu nangenca yekutsi ukhetse intalelwane* yabo leta emvakwabo,+ wanikhulula embikwakhe eGibhithe asebentisa emandla akhe lamakhulu. 38 Waticosha embikwenu tive letinkhulu naletinemandla kunani, kuze aningenise futsi aninike live lato libe lifa lenu, njengobe nje kunjalo lamuhla.+ 39 Ngako-ke lamuhla yatini futsi nikhumbule kutsi Jehova unguNkulunkulu weliciniso etulu emazulwini naphansi emhlabeni.+ Kute lomunye Nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwakhe.+ 40 Niboyigcina lemitsetfo nalemiyalo yakhe lenginitjela yona lamuhla, kuze kunihambele kahle nine nemadvodzana enu latawukuta emvakwenu, khona nitewuhlala sikhatsi lesidze kulelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninike lona.”+
41 Ngaleso sikhatsi Mosi wakhetsa emadolobha lamatsatfu emphumalanga yeJordane.+ 42 Nakwenteka lotsite abulala umuntfu wakubo ngeliphutsa, kodvwa kungasiko kutsi abemtondza,+ bekufanele abalekele kulinye lalamadolobha futsi achubeke aphila.+ 43 Lamadolobha bekuyiBheseri+ lebeyisentsabeni ehlane, yona iyesive sakaRubeni, kube yiRamothi+ leseGileyadi, yona iyesive sakaGadi, bese kuba yiGolani+ leseBhashani, yona iyesive sakaManase.+
44 Lona nguMtsetfo+ Mosi lawunika bantfu baka-Israyeli. 45 Nguleto-ke tikhumbuto, timiso nemiyalo Mosi layinika ema-Israyeli ngemuva kwekuphuma kwawo eGibhithe,+ 46 ngesikhatsi asesifundzeni saseJordane, esigodzini lesibukene neBhethi-pheyori,+ leseveni laSihoni inkhosi yema-Amori lobekahlala eHeshboni,+ loyo Mosi nema-Israyeli lamncoba ngemuva kwekuphuma eGibhithe.+ 47 Ema-Israyeli atsatsa live laSihoni nelive la-Ogi+ inkhosi yaseBhashani, lokungemakhosi lamabili ema-Amori labesesifundzeni lesisemphumalanga yeJordane, 48 kusuka e-Aroyeri+ leseceleni kwesigodzi sase-Anoni, kuze kuyewufika eNtsabeni iSiyoni, lokuyiHemoni,+ 49 atsatsa nayo yonkhe i-Arabha, lesesifundzeni lesisemphumalanga yeJordane, kuze kuyewufika eLwandle lwase-Arabha,* lolungephansi kwePhisga.+
