Nguwo lo umthetho, imimiselo ke kwanamasiko, awaniwiselayo uYehova uThixo wenu, ukuba niwufundiswe, niwenze ezweni elo niwelela kulo ukuba nilime;
2 ukuze umoyike uYehova uThixo wakho, uyigcine yonke imimiselo yakhe nemithetho yakhe endikuwiselayo, wena nonyana wakho, nonyana wonyana wakho, yonke imihla yobomi bakho, ukuze yolulwe imihla yakho.
3 Yiva ke, Sirayeli, ugcine ukwenza, ukuze kulunge kuwe, ukuze nande kunene ezweni elibaleka amasi nobusi, njengokuba uYehova, uThixo wooyihlo, akuthethileyo kuwe.
4 Yiva, Sirayeli: uYehova uThixo wethu nguYehova mnye.
5 Uze umthande uYehova uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho yonke, nangomphefumlo wakho wonke, nangamandla akho onke.
6 La mazwi ndikuwisela umthetho ngawo namhlanje, aze abe sentliziyweni yakho.
7 Uze uwatsolise koonyana bakho, uthethe ngawo ekuhlaleni kwakho endlwini yakho, nasekuhambeni kwakho ngendlela, nasekulaleni kwakho, nasekuvukeni kwakho;
8 uwabophe esandleni sakho abe ngumqondiso, abe zizikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo akho;
9 uwabhale emigubasini yendlu yakho, nasemasangweni akho.
10 Kothi, xa athe wakungenisa uYehova uThixo wakho kulo ilizwe abelifungele ooyihlo, ooAbraham noIsake noYakobi, ukuba akunike: imizi emikhulu, emihle, ongayakhanga;
11 nezindlu ezizele zizinto zonke ezintle, ongazizalisanga; namaqula ambiweyo, ongawambanga; nezidiliya nezinquma, ongazityalanga; wadla wahlutha:
12 uzigcine, hleze umlibale uYehova okukhuphileyo ezweni laseYiputa, endlwini yobukhoboka.
13 UYehova uThixo wakho uze umoyike, umkhonze, ufunge igama lakhe.
14 Nize ningalandeli thixo bambi koothixo bezizwe eziningqongileyo;
15 ngokuba nguThixo onekhwele, uYehova uThixo wakho phakathi kwakho; hleze umsindo kaYehova uThixo wakho uvuthe ngakuwe, ukutshabalalise, ungabikho ehlabathini.
16 Nize ningamlingi uYehova uThixo wenu, njengoko namlingayo eMasa.
17 Nize niyigcine niyigcinile imithetho kaYehova uThixo wenu, nezingqino zakhe, nemimiselo yakhe, awakuwiselayo; wenze okuthe tye,
18 okulungileyo emehlweni kaYehova; ukuze kulunge kuwe, ungene ulime ilizwe elihle, awalifungela ooyihlo uYehova,
19 ukuba azigxothe iintshaba zakho zonke ebusweni bakho, njengoko wathethayo uYehova.
20 Xa athe unyana wakho wakubuza ngomso, esithi, Zezani na ezi zingqino nemimiselo namasiko, aniwiseleyo uYehova uThixo wethu?
21 wothi kunyana wakho, Sibe singamakhoboka kaFaro eYiputa; wasikhupha uYehova eYiputa ngesandla esithe nkqi;
22 uYehova wenza eYiputa imiqondiso nezimanga ezikhulu, ezibi, kuFaro, nasendlwini yakhe yonke, emehlweni ethu;
23 wasikhupha khona, ukuze asingenise, ukuba asinike ilizwe elo abelifungele oobawo.
24 Wasiwisela umthetho uYehova, ukuba siyenze le mimiselo yonke, ukuba simoyike uYehova uThixo wethu, kulunge kuthi yonke imihla, silondolozelwe ebomini, njengoko kunjalo namhla.
25 Koba bubulungisa kuthi, xa sithe sagcina ukuwenza wonke lo mthetho phambi koYehova uThixo wethu, njengoko wasiwiselayo umthetho.
