2 yabakho ke imiqondiso nezimanga azithethileyo kuwe, esithi, Masilandele thixo bambi ongabaziyo, sibakhonze:
3 uze ungawaphulaphuli amazwi aloo mprofeti naloo mphuphi wamaphupha; ngokuba kusukuba enilinga uYehova uThixo wenu, ukuze azi ukuba niyamthanda na uYehova uThixo wenu ngentliziyo yenu yonke, nangomphefumlo wenu wonke.
4 Nize nilandele uYehova uThixo wenu, noyike yena, nigcine imithetho yakhe, niphulaphule ilizwi lakhe, nikhonze yena, ninamathele kuye.
5 Ke loo mprofeti naloo mphuphi wamaphupha makabulawe; kuba ethethe elokutyeka kuYehova uThixo wenu, owanikhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa, wanikhulula ngentlawulelo endlwini yobukhoboka; ukuba akuwexule endleleni, akuwisele umthetho ngayo uYehova uThixo wakho ukuba uhambe ngayo. Uze ubutshayele ke ububi, bungabikho phakathi kwakho.
6 Xa athe umzalwana wakho, umntakanyoko, nonyana wakho, nentombi yakho, nomfazi wesifuba sakho, nommelwane wakho onjengomphefumlo wakho kuwe, wakuhenda ngasese, esithi, Masiye kukhonza thixo bambi ongabazanga, wena nooyihlo;
7 koothixo bezizwe eziningqongileyo, ezikufuphi kuwe, nokuba zezikude nawe, ezithabathele esiphelweni sehlabathi, zada zesa esiphelweni sehlabathi:
8 uze ungavumelani naye, ungamphulaphuli; lingabi nanceba iliso lakho kuye, ungamcongi, ungamfihli; uze umbulale afe.
