1 UMoses namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli abawisela abantu umthetho, esithi, Wugcineni wonke umthetho endiniwiselayo namhla.
2 Wòthi, ngemini enithe nayiwela iYordan, nangena kwelo zwe akunikayo uYehova uThixo wakho, uzimisele amatye amakhulu,
3 uwaqabe ngefutha, ubhale kuwo onke amazwi aló myalelo, wakuba uwelile; ukuze ungene kulo ilizwe akunikayo uYehova uThixo, ilizwe elibaleka amasi nobusi, njengoko uYehova uThixo woyihlo wathethayo kuwe.
4 Nothi, nakuyiwela iYordan, nimise la matye ndiniwisela umthetho ngawo namhla, entabeni ye-Ebhali, uwaqabe ngefutha;
5 wakhele apho isibingelelo kuYehova uThixo wakho, isibingelelo samatye; ungasiphakamiseli ntlabo yantsimbi.
6 Wosakha ngamatye awonke isibingelelo sikaYehova uThixo wakho, unyuse phezu kwaso amadini anyukayo kuYehova uThixo wakho;
7 ubingelele imibingelelo yoxolo, udle khona, uvuye phambi koYehova uThixo wakho;
8 uwabhale uwalungise ematyeni lawo onke amazwi aló myalelo kakuhle.
9 UMoses nababingeleli abaLevi bathetha ke kumaSirayeli onke, besithi, Yithi cwaka, uve, Sirayeli! Namhla nithe naba ngabantu kuYehova uThixo wakho;
10 uze uliphulaphule izwi likaYehova uThixo wakho, wenze imithetho yakhe nemimiselo yakhe, endikuwiselayo namhla.

12 Aba baya kuma basikelele abantu, entabeni yeGerizim, nakuyiwela iYordan: uSimon, noLevi, noYuda, noIsakare, noYosefu, noBhenjamin:
13 aba baya kuma baqalekise, entabeni ye-Ebhali: uRubhen, noGadi, noAshere, noZebhulon, noDan, noNafetali.
