Imithetho kwezinye izindaba
1Ungasakazi amahemuhemu; ungahlanganisi izandla nomubi ukuba ube ngufakazi ongalungile.
2Ungalandeli isixuku ukwenza okubi; futhi ngeke ukhulume ukwenqaba ngemva kwabaningi ukubhubhisa ukwahlulela.
3Futhi ungafakazi ompofu ecaleni lakhe.
4Uma uthola inkabi yesitha sakho noma imbongolo yaso izulazula, woyibuyisela nokuyibuyisela kuso;
5Uma ubona imbongolo yenzondo yakho ilele phansi komthwalo wayo futhi ungafuni ukuyisiza, kumelwe uyisize ngempela.
6Ungalichithi ilungelo lompofu wakho ecaleni lakhe.
7Deda endabeni yamanga; futhi ungambulali ongenacala nolungileyo, ngoba ngeke ngithethelele omubi.
8Akumelwe namukele noma yisiphi isipho, ngoba isipho siphuphuthekisa abahlakaniphileyo futhi siphendukezela amazwi olungile.
9Ungamcindezeli umfokazi, ngokuba niyayazi inhliziyo yomfokazi, ngokuba naningabafokazi ezweni laseGibithe.
10Kumelwe uhlwanyele izwe lakho iminyaka eyisithupha futhi ubuthe izithelo zalo;
11Kodwa ngonyaka wesikhombisa kumelwe uwuyeke uphumule futhi uthule; ukuze abampofu babantu bakho badle; futhi ezikushiyayo, kumelwe kudliwe yizilwane zasendle. Kumelwe wenze ngendlela efanayo ngesivini sakho nangeminqumo yakho.
12Izinsuku eziyisithupha kumelwe wenze umsebenzi wakho, futhi ngosuku lwesikhombisa kumelwe uphumule, ukuze inkabi yakho nembongolo yakho ziphumule, futhi indodana yesigqilakazi sakho nomfokazi baqabuleke.
13Niqaphele kukho konke enginitshele khona; igama labanye onkulunkulu ningaliphathi, lingazwakala emlonyeni wenu.
14Kathathu ngomnyaka ningienzele umkhosi.
15Kumelwe ugubhe umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo (izinsuku eziyisikhombisa uyakudla isinkwa esingenamvubelo, njengoba nje ngakuyala, ngesikhathi esimisiwe senyanga ka-Abibi, ngoba waphuma ngayo eGibhithe, futhi akekho oyolala phambi kwami ayiveli).
16Nomkhosi wokuvuna, ulibo lwezisebenzi zenu enizihlwanyele ezweni, nomkhosi wokubutha osekupheleni konyaka, lapho nibutha umshikashika wenu ezweni.
17Kathathu ngomnyaka bonke abesilisa bakho bayakubonakala phambi kweNkosi uJehova.
18Ungalethi igazi lesinkwa sami kanye lesinkwa esivutshelweyo; namanoni omhlatshelo wami akayikusala kuze kuse.
19Izibulo lezibulo lezwe lakini wolingenisa endlini kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho. Ungase ungaliboni izinyane obisini lukanina.
20Bheka, ngiyathuma ingelosi phambi kwakho ukuba ikugcine endleleni, ikuyise endaweni engiyilungisileyo.
21Mnakekele futhi ulalele izwi lakhe, ungamgconi; ngoba kayikuthethelela iziphambeko zenu, ngoba ibizo lami likuyo.
22Kodwa uba lilalela ilizwi lakhe, lenze konke engikutshoyo; khona ngiyakuba yisitha sezitha zakho, ngibe yisitha sabamelene nawe.
23Ngokuba ingelosi yami iyakuhamba phambi kwakho, ikuyise kuma-Amori, namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaKhanani, namaHivi, namaJebusi; futhi ngizobabhubhisa.
24Ungakhothameli onkulunkulu babo, ungabakhonzi, ungenzi njengemisebenzi yabo; kodwa kumelwe ubashaye ngesiqalekiso esichithayo futhi ubhidlize izithombe zabo ezibaziweyo ngokuphelele.
25Niyakumkhonza uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, abusise ukudla kwenu namanzi enu; ngiyakususa ukugula phakathi kwakho.
26Kakuyikulahli amazinyane azo, kumbe oyinyumba elizweni lakini; inani lezinsuku zakho ngiyakuligcwalisa.
27Ngiyakuthuma ingebhe yami phambi kwakho, ngibulale zonke izizwe oyakufika kuzo, ngenze ukuba zonke izitha zakho zikufulathele.
28Ngiyakuthuma phambi kwakho imivuvu eyakuxosha amaHivi, namaKhanani, namaHeti phambi kwakho.
29Kangiyikubaxotsha phambi kwakho ngomnyaka owodwa; funa izwe libe yihlane, izilo zasendle zande phezu kwenu.
30Ngiyakubaxosha kancane kancane phambi kwakho, uze wande, ulidle izwe.
31Ngizamisa imingcele yakho kusukela eLwandle lweSikefe kusiya eLwandle lwamaFilisti, kusukela enkangala kuze kufike eNayile; ngokuba ngiyakubanikela abakhileyo ezweni esandleni sakho; futhi kumelwe ubaxoshe phambi kwakho.
32Aniyikwenza isivumelwano nabo noma nawonkulunkulu babo.
33Bangahlali ezweni lakini, funa bakwenze wone kimi; ngoba uma ukhonza onkulunkulu babo, kuzakuba lugibe kuwe.
