UMose ulaya abakoIsrayeli ukuba bagcine imilayo

1Khathesike, lina bakoIsrayeli, zwanini izimiso lezahlulelo engilifundisa zona, lizenze ukuze liphile, lingene lilithumbe ilizwe elinika lona iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu.

2Kaliyikwengezelela lutho elizwini engililaya ngalo, lingaphunguli lutho kulo, ukuba ligcine imilayo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu engililaya yona.AbakoIsrayeli baxwayiswa ukuba bangoni

15Ngakhoke qaphelani. Njengoba lingabonanga isimo somuntu mhla wosuku iNkosi ikhuluma lani eHorebe iphakathi komlilo,

16xwayani funa lone, lizenzele isithombe esibaziweyo sowesilisa loba sowesifazana,

25Lapho lizuza abantwana labazukulu, lalapho selihlale elizweni isikhathi eside, uba lisona, lenze isithombe esibaziweyo solutho oluthile, lenze okubi emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ukuze limthukuthelise,

26ngibiza izulu lomhlaba lamhla ukuba kufakaze ngani ukuthi lizabhubha masinyane elizweni elichapha iJordani ukuya kilo ukuba libe ngelenu; kaliyikuhlala kilo isikhathi eside, kodwa lizabhujiswa isibili.

27INkosi izalichithachitha phakathi kwabantu, lisale liyingcosana nje phakathi kwezizwe iNkosi ezakulixotshela kuzo.Dute 28:36

28Lapho lizakukhonza onkulunkulu abenziwe ngezandla zabantu ngezihlahla langamatshe, abangaboniyo, abangezwayo, abangadliyo labanganukiyo.

29Kodwa uba lilapho liyifune iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lizayifumana uba liyidinga ngenhliziyo yenu yonke langomphefumulo wenu wonke.Jer 29:13

30Lapho lisekuhluphekeni lisehlelwa yilezizinto zonke, ensukwini ezizayo lizakuphendukela eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lilalele ilizwi layo;

31ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu inguNkulunkulu olomusa, kayiyikulitshiya, kayiyikulibhubhisa, kayiyikukhohlwa isivumelwano eyasifunga kubokhokho benu.

32Ake libuze ngensuku ezidlulileyo ezazingaphambi kwenu, kusukela osukwini uNkulunkulu adala ngalo umuntu emhlabeni, libuze kusukela komunye umkhawulo wezulu kuze kube komunye, ukuthi kwake kwenzakala loba kwezwakala yini into engangale.

33Abantu bake balizwa yini ilizwi likaNkulunkulu likhuluma phakathi komlilo, njengalokhu lilizwile lina, baphila na?

34Futhi omunye unkulunkulu wake wazama yini ukuzithathela isizwe phakathi kwesinye isizwe ngezinhlupheko, langezibonakaliso, langezimangaliso, langempi, langesandla esilamandla, langengalo elamandla, langezinto ezesabekayo, njengakho konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu eyalenzela khona eGibithe phambi kwamehlo enu na?

35Lina lakutshengiswa lokho ukuba lazi ukuthi iNkosi inguNkulunkulu, kakho omunye onjengayo.Mark 12:32

36Isezulwini yalivumela ukuzwa ilizwi layo, ukuba ilifundise; emhlabeni yalivumela ukubona umlilo wayo omkhulu, lezwa amazwi ayo evela emlilweni.

37Njengoba ibathandile okhokho benu, yakhetha inzalo yabo emva kwabo, yalikhupha yona ngokwayo eGibithe ngamandla ayo amakhulu,

38yaxotsha phambi kwenu izizwe ezinkulu ezilamandla kulani ukuze ilingenise elizweni lazo, ilinike lona libe ngelenu njengalamhla.

39Ngakhoke yazini lamuhla, likugcine enhliziyweni zenu ukuthi iNkosi inguNkulunkulu phezulu ezulwini laphansi emhlabeni; kakho omunye.

40Ngakhoke lizagcina izimiso zayo lemilayo yayo engililaya yona lamhla, ukuba kulilungele lina labantwana benu emva kwenu, lokuba liphile isikhathi eside elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu elinika lona kuze kube nini lanini.

Ukukhethwa kwemizi emithathu yokuphephela

41UMose wasekhetha imizi emithathu ngasempumalanga ngaphetsheya kweJordani,Josh 20:8, 9

42ukuba ibe zindawo zokubalekela umbulali ongabulalanga umakhelwana wakhe ngabomu, obekade engamzondi, ukuze ekubalckeleni kwakhe komunye waleyomizi asile:

43imizi yile, iBezeri elisenkangala emagcekeni, libe ngumuzi wabakoRubeni; iRamothi eGileyadi, libe ngowabakoGadi; iGolani eBashani, libe ngowabakoManase.

44Yiwo lo umlayo uMose awubeka phambi kwabantu bakoIsrayeli;

45yilobu ubufakazi, yizo lezi izimiso lezahlulelo uMose azimemezela ebantwini bakoIsrayeli ekuphumeni kwabo eGibithe,

46ngaphetsheya kweJordani, esigodini maqondana leBeti‐Peyori, elizweni likaSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, owayehlala eHeshiboni, owanqotshwa nguMose labantu bakoIsrayeli ekuphumeni kwabo eGibithe.

47Balithumba ilizwe lakhe lelizwe likaOgi inkosi yaseBashani, amakhosi amabili amaAmori ayehlala ngasempumalanga ngaphetsheya kweJordani,

48kusukela eAroweri eliseduze kwesihotsha saseArinoni kuze kufike entabeni yaseSiriyoni, iHermoni,

49kanye lalo lonke iAraba ngaphetsheya kweJordani ngasempumalanga, kuze kube solwandle lwaseAraba, ngaphansi kwamawa ePisiga.
