| 1. | Waya uMoses, wawathetha la mazwi kumaSirayeli onke, |
| 2. | wathi kuwo, Ndiminyaka ilikhulu elinamanci mabini namhla ndizelwe. Andisenako ukuphuma nokungena; noYehova uthe kum, Akusayi kuyiwela le Yordan. |
| 3. | NguYehova uThixo wakho owela phambi kwakho; wozitshabalalisa ezo ntlanga phambi kwakho, uzithimbe. NguYoshuwa owela phambi kwakho, njengoko wathethayo uYehova. |
| 4. | Uya kwenza uYehova kuzo njengoko wenzayo kuSihon nakuOgi, ookumkani bama-Amori, nakwilizwe labo, awabatshabalalisayo; |
| 5. | azinikele kuni uYehova; nenze kuzo ngokomthetho wonke endiniwiseleyo. |
| 6. | Yomelelani nikhaliphe: musani ukoyika, musani ukungcangcazela ebusweni bazo. Ngokuba nguYehova uThixo wakho ohamba nawe; akayi kukuyekela, akayi kukushiya. |
| 7. | UMoses wambiza ke uYoshuwa, wathi kuye emehlweni amaSirayeli onke, Yomelela ukhaliphe; kuba wena uya kungena naba bantu kwelo zwe wafungayo kooyise uYehova ukuba wobanika; wena uya kubadlisa ilifa. |
| 8. | NguYehova ohamba phambi kwakho; yena uya kuba nawe; akayi kukuyekela, akayi kukushiya. Uze ungoyiki, ungaqhiphuki mbilini. |
| 9. | Wawubhala uMoses lo myalelo, wawunika ababingeleli, oonyana bakaLevi, ababethwala ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli onke. |
| 10. | UMoses wabawisela umthetho, esithi, Ekupheleni kweminyaka esixhenxe, ngexesha elimisiweyo lomnyaka woyekelelo, emthendelekweni weminquba, |
| 11. | ekuzeni kubonakala kwamaSirayeli onke phambi koYehova uThixo wakho, kuloo ndawo aya kuyinyula, wowulesa lo myalelo phambi kwamaSirayeli onke ezindlebeni zawo. |
| 12. | Bobizelwa ndawonye abantu, amadoda, nabafazi, nabantwana, nomphambukeli wakho osemasangweni akho, ukuze beve, nokuze bafunde, bamoyike uYehova uThixo wenu, bagcine ukuwenza onke amazwi alo myalelo; |
| 13. | beve noonyana babo abangaziyo, bafunde ukumoyika uYehova uThixo wenu, yonke imihla enidla ubomi ngayo, kuloo mhlaba eniwela iYordan nisiya kuwuma. |
| 14. | Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Yabona, isondele imihla yakho yokuba ufe. Biza uYoshuwa, niye nime ententeni yokuhlangana, ndimyale. Baya ooMoses noYoshuwa, bema ententeni yokuhlangana. |
| 15. | Wabonakala uYehova ententeni emqulwini welifu. Wamana umi umqulu welifu phezu komnyango wentente. |
| 16. | Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Yabona, uya kulala nooyihlo; basuke aba bantu bahenyuze ngokulandela thixo bambi belo zwe bangena kulo phakathi kwalo, bandishiye, bawaphule umnqophiso wam endiwenze nabo; |
| 17. | uvuthe umsindo wam kubo ngaloo mini, ndibashiye, ndibusithelise ubuso bam kubo, babe ngabokudliwa kuthi tu, bafunyanwe bububi obuninzi naziimbandezelo; bathi ngaloo mini, Akungenxa yokuba engekho na uThixo wam phakathi kwam, le nto ndifunyenwe bobu bubi? |
| 18. | Ke mna ndiya kubusithelisa kuphele ubuso bam ngaloo mini, ngenxa yobubi bonke ababenzileyo; ngokuba bejike baya thixweni bambi. |
| 19. | Kaloku ke zibhaleleni le ngoma, niyifundise oonyana bakaSirayeli, niyibeke emlonyeni wabo, ukuze le ngoma ibe lingqina lam koonyana bakaSirayeli. |
| 20. | Kuba ndiya kubangenisa kuwo umhlaba endafunga kooyise ngawo, obaleka amasi nobusi, badle bahluthe, batyebe; bajike baye thixweni bambi, babakhonze, bandigibe, bawaphule umnqophiso wam. |
| 21. | Kothi, xa bathe bafunyanwa bububi obuninzi naziimbandezelo, isuke le ngoma iphendule phambi kwabo, ibe lingqina: kuba ayisayi kulityalwa imke emlonyeni wembewu yabo; kuba ndiyakwazi ukucamanga kwabo abakwenzayo namhla, ndingekabangenisi njekwelo zwe ndifunge ngalo. |
| 22. | Wayibhala uMoses loo ngoma ngaloo mini, wayifundisa oonyana bakaSirayeli. |
| 23. | Wammisela uYoshuwa unyana kaNun umthetho; wathi, Yomelela, ukhaliphe, kuba uya kubangenisa wena oonyana bakaSirayeli kwelo zwe ndabafungela lona. Ndiya kuba nawe mna. |
| 24. | Kwathi, akugqiba uMoses ukuwabhala amazwi alo myalelo encwadini ada agqitywa, |
| 25. | uMoses wabawisela umthetho abaLevi, ababethwala ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, esithi, |
| 26. | Yithabatheni incwadi yalo myalelo, niyibeke ecaleni letyeya yomnqophiso kaYehova uThixo wenu, ibe lingqina khona kuni. |
| 27. | Ngokuba ndiyazazi iinkani zakho, nentamo yakho elukhuni. Yabonani, ndisadla ubomi nje, ndisenani, namana niphikisana noYehova; kobeka phi na emva kokufa kwam? |
| 28. | Bizelani ndawonye onke amadoda amakhulu ezizwe zenu, nababhali benu, beze kum, ndiwathethe la mazwi ezindlebeni zabo, ndingqinisise amazulu nehlabathi ngabo. |
| 29. | Kuba ndiyazi ukuba, emva kokufa kwam, niya kuzonakalisa kanye, nityeke endleleni endiniwisele umthetho ngayo, nihlelwe bububi ekupheleni kwemihla; ngokuba niya kwenza ububi phambi koYehova, ukuba nimqumbise ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu. |
| 30. | Wawathetha ke uMoses ezindlebeni zebandla lonke lakwaSirayeli amazwi ale ngoma, ada agqitywa: |
