Eksodus
2 “NdinguYehova uThixo wakho, owakukhupha elizweni laseYiputa, kwindlu yobukhoboka.+ 3 Uze ungabi nabanye oothixo ngaphandle kwam.*+
4 “Uze ungazenzeli umfanekiso oqingqiweyo okanye into efana nayo nantoni na esemazulwini phezulu, esemhlabeni phantsi, okanye esemanzini phantsi komhlaba.+ 5 Uze ungaqubudi kuzo okanye uzikhonze,+ kuba mna Yehova Thixo wakho, ndinguThixo ofuna umntu azinikele ngokupheleleyo,+ yaye ndohlwaya oonyana ngesono sootata babo, ndohlwaya isizukulwana sesithathu nesesine sabo bandicaphukelayo. 6 Kodwa ndibathanda ndingagungqi abo bandithandayo nabathobela imiyalelo yam,+ kude kuse kwisizukulwana sewaka.
7 “Uze ungaliphathi ngokungathi yinto engenaxabiso igama likaYehova uThixo wakho,+ kuba uYehova soze angamohlwayi nabani na oliphatha ngokungathi yinto engenaxabiso igama lakhe.+
8 “Lukhumbule usuku lweSabatha ukuze ulugcine lungcwele.+ 9 Umele uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho iintsuku ezintandathu,+ 10 kodwa lona usuku lwesixhenxe luyisabatha kuYehova uThixo wakho. Awumelanga wenze nawuphi na umsebenzi, wena, unyana wakho, intombi yakho, ikhoboka lakho, ikhobokazana lakho, isilwanyana sakho sasekhaya kunye nomntu wasemzini ohlala kwakho.*+ 11 Kuba ngeentsuku ezintandathu uYehova wenza amazulu, umhlaba nolwandle, nazo zonke izinto ezikuzo, waza waphumla ngosuku lwesixhenxe.+ Yiloo nto uYehova walusikelelayo usuku lweSabatha waza walwenza ngcwele.
12 “Hlonipha utata wakho nomama wakho,+ ukuze uphile ixesha elide kwilizwe akunika lona uYehova uThixo wakho.+
16 “Uze ungangqini ubuxoki ngommelwane wakho.+
17 “Uze ungayinqweneli indlu yommelwane wakho. Uze ungamnqweneli umfazi wommelwane wakho,+ ikhoboka lakhe, ikhobokazana lakhe, inkunzi yakhe yenkomo, idonki yakhe okanye nantoni na yommelwane wakho.”+
18 Ngoku bonke abantu baziva iindudumo, bakubona ukulenyeza kwemibane, beva isandi sophondo, babona nentaba iqhuma, yaye le nto yabenza boyika baza bamela kude.+ 19 Ngoko bathi kuMoses: “Mayibe nguwe othetha nathi, siza kumamela, kodwa makangathethi nathi uThixo, hleze sife.”+ 20 UMoses wathi kubo: “Sanukoyika, kuba uThixo wokwenene uze kunivavanya,+ ukuze niqhubeke nimoyika nize ningoni.”+ 21 Abantu baqhubeka bemele kude, kodwa yena uMoses wasondela kwelo lifu limnyama awayekulo uThixo wokwenene.+
22 UYehova wathi kuMoses: “Yithi kumaSirayeli, ‘Nizibonele ngokwenu ukuba ndithethe nani ndisezulwini.+ 23 Nize ningenzi oothixo besilivere eniza kubakhonza nibadibanisa nam, ningazenzeli noothixo begolide.+ 24 Ndenzele isibingelelo ngomhlaba, uze ubingelele kuso iminikelo yakho etshiswayo, imibingelelo yakho yobuhlobo,* iigusha zakho neenkomo zakho. Kuzo zonke iindawo endilenza likhunjulwe kuzo igama lam,+ ndiza kuza kuwe ndikusikelele. 25 Xa undenzela isibingelelo ngamatye, uze ungasenzi ngamatye aqingqiweyo.+ Ukuba ukhe wasebenzisa itshizili kuso, uya kube usingcolisile. 26 Uze ungasenzi sibe nezitepsi oza kunyuka ngazo, ukuze bungatyhileki ubuze bakho kuso.’
