1Uze ungabingeleli kuYehova uThixo wakho, nkomo, nagusha ineqhenqa, nokuba sisiphi na isifo; ngokuba lisikizi kuYehova uThixo wakho.

2Xa kuthe kwafunyanwa kuwe, kwelinye emasangweni akho, akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho, indoda nokuba yinkazana, eyenze okubi emehlweni kaYehova uThixo wakho, ngokwaphula umnqophiso wakhe;

3Waya wakhonza thixo bambi, waqubuda kubo, ilanga, nenyanga, nesazulu, endingawisanga mthetho ngaso;

4Kwathi, ekuxeleni kwakho, weva, wabuza, wabona, kuyinyaniso, inyaniso, ukuba enziwe la masikizi kwaSirayeli.

5Ke ngoko, yikhuphela loo ndoda, nokuba yilaa nkazana, iyenzileyo ububi ngaphandle kwamasango akho, loo ndoda, nokuba yiloo nkazana, uyixulube ngamatye, ife;

6Lowo ufanelwe kukubulawa wobulawa ngomlomo wamangqina amabini, nokuba ngamathathu; kodwa ngamlomo walinye ingqina makangabulawa.

7Ziya kuba phezu kwakhe izandla zamangqina ngaphambi kokuba ambulale, kwandule ke kufike izandla zabantu bonke ubutshayele ke ububi, bungabikho phantsi kwakho;

8Xa kuthe kwavela ityala kuni elikhulu enkundleni ngenxa yenu, phakathi kwegazi negazi, phakathi komthandazo nomthandazo, naphakathi kwesijeziso nesigwebo, ngokuba ngumcimbi lowo emasangweni enu; ninduluke ninyuke niye kuloo ndawo aya kuyinyula uYehova uThixo wenu;

9Yiya kubabingeleli babaLevi, nakumgwebi oya kubakho ngaloo mihla, ubuze; kwaye baya kukuxelela umgwebo.

10Yenza ngokwesigwebo abo baya kukunika sona ngoxa ulapho kuloo ndawo aya kuyinyula uYehova; uze wenze ngenyameko ngako konke abaya kukuxelela kona.

11Yenza ngokomyalelo abaya kukuyala ngawo, nangokwesiko abaya kusithetha kuwe;

12Nabani na ofuna ukuzibeka kwindawo yokuqala aze angamphulaphuli umbingeleli omi apho ukuze akhonze uYehova uThixo wakho okanye umgwebi wakho, loo mntu uya kufa; yaye bususe ububi kwaSirayeli.

13Bonke abantu baya kuva, boyike, bangabi saqhayisa.

14Xa uthe wafika kulo ilizwe akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho, ulihluthe, uhlale kulo, uthi, Ndiya kuzenza ukumkani, njengeentlanga zonke ezingeenxa zonke;

15Zinyuleleni abe ngukumkani wenu, entweni yonke aya kuyinyula uYehova uThixo wenu; nimenze ukumkani kubazalwana benu; uze ungakhethi mntu wasemzini ongengomzalwana wakho.

16Kodwa makangawandisi amahashe, angabavumeli abantu ukuba babuyele eYiputa ukuze andise amahashe;

17Makangazazeli bafazi, ize ityeke intliziyo yakhe; yaye akayi kuziqwebela isilivere negolide eninzi.

18Wothi, xenikweni athe wahlala etroneni yobukumkani bakhe, azibhalele impinda yombhalo yalo myalelo encwadini, esusela kubabingeleli abangabaLevi;

19Yoba ngakuye, ayifunde yonke imihla yobomi bakhe, ukuze afunde ukumoyika uYehova uThixo wakhe nokuwagcina onke amazwi alo mthetho nale mithetho imiselweyo ukuba ayiphumeze;

20ukuze ingaphakami intliziyo yakhe phezu kwabazalwana bakhe nokuze angatyeki emyalelweni, aye ekunene okanye aye ekhohlo, ukuze ayolule imihla yakhe ebukumkanini bakhe, yena noonyana bakhe, phakathi koSirayeli.
