1 Makangangeni ebandleni likaYehova olinyazwe ngokutyunyuzwa amasende, nonqanyulwe ubudoda.
2 Makungangeni mgqakhwe ebandleni likaYehova; nesizukulwana sawo seshumi masingangeni ebandleni likaYehova.
3 Makangangeni ebandleni likaYehova umAmon nomMowabhi; nesizukulwana sabo seshumi masingangeni ebandleni likaYehova naphakade;
4 ngenxa yokuba benganikhawulelanga ngesonka nangamanzi endleleni, ekuphumeni kwenu eYiputa; nangenxa enokuba bakuqeshela uBhileham unyana kaBhehore, wasePetore kwa-Aram* phakathi kwemiLambo,* ukuba akuqalekise.
5 Àkavuma ke uYehova uThixo wakho ukumphulaphula uBhileham; usuke uYehova uThixo wakho wakuguqulela isiqalekiso saba yintsikelelo; ngokuba ubekuthanda uYehova uThixo wakho.
6 Uze ungalukhathaleli naphakade uxolo lwabo nokuhlala kwabo kakuhle, yonke imihla yakho.
7 Aze angabi lisikizi kuwe umEdom, ngokuba ngumzalwana wakho; aze angabi lisikizi kuwe umYiputa, ngokuba ube ungumphambukeli ezweni lakhe.
8 Oonyana abathe babazala, abasisizukulwana sabo sesithathu, bongena ebandleni likaYehova.
9 Xa uthe waphuma umkhosi, waya ezintshabeni zakho, uze uzigcine kwinto yonke embi.
10 Xa kuthe kwakho kuwe indoda engahlambulukileyo, ngenxa yento eyihleleyo ebusuku, yophuma iye ngaphandle kweminquba; mayingangeni phakathi kweminquba.
11 Kothi, xa kuhlwayo, ihlambe ngamanzi; ithi lakutshona ilanga, ingene ke ngaphakathi kweminquba.
12 Wòba nendawo engaphandle kweminquba, uphume ke uye khona endle.
13 Uze ube nolungxa empahleni yakho; kuthi ekuhlaleni phantsi kwakho endle, umbe ngalo, uhlale phantsi, ukuselele okuphuma kuwe;
14 ngokuba uYehova uThixo wakho uhambahamba phakathi kweminquba yakho, ukuba akuhlangule, azinikele iintshaba zakho kuwe. Ize icokiseke iminquba yakho, angaboni nto iziintloni kuwe, ajike emke kuwe.
15 Uze ungasinikeli enkosini yaso isicaka esisabele kuwe, sisuka enkosini yaso.
16 Sohlala nawe phakathi kwenu, kuloo ndawo sithe sayinyula kwelinye isango emasangweni akho, apho kusilungele khona; uze ungasixinzeleli phantsi.
17 Makungabikho ng'awukazi kwindawo engcwele ezintombini zakwaSirayeli; makungabikho sifebe kwindawo engcwele koonyana bakaSirayeli.
18 Uze ungalungenisi utsheqo lwehenyukazi nomvuzo wenja endlwini kaYehova uThixo wakho, ngenxa yesibhambathiso nokuba sisiphi; ngokuba zingamasikizi kuYehova zombini ezo zinto.
19 Uze ungambizi nzala umzalwana wakho: nzala yamali, nzala yakutya, nzala nokuba yeyani ekubizwa inzala ngayo.
20 Wobiza inzala kowolunye uhlanga; uze ungabizi nzala kumzalwana wakho, ukuze akusikelele uYehova uThixo wakho ezintweni zonke osisa kuzo isandla sakho, kulo ilizwe ongena kulo ukuba ulimé.
21 Xa uthe wabhambathisa isibhambathiso kuYehova uThixo wakho, uze ungalibali ukusizalisa; ngokuba uYehova uThixo wakho uya kusibiza kuwe, kube sisono kuwe.
22 Ke xa uthe wayeka, akwabhambathisa, akuyi kuba sono oko kuwe.
23 Okuphume emlonyeni wakho kugcine, ukwenze; njengoko ubhambathise ngako kuYehova uThixo wakho ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo, wakuthetha ngomlomo wakho.
24 Xa uthe wangena esidiliyeni sommelwane wakho, ungáyidla idiliya uzifikisele, uhluthe, kodwa ungagaleli esityeni sakho.
25 Xa uthe wangena engqoloweni yommelwane wakho, engekavunwa, wokha izikhwebu ngesandla sakho; ungàfaki rhengqa engqoloweni yommelwane wakho engekavunwa.
