15 UJehova waraga wakhuluma noMosi wathi:
2 “Khuluma nama-Israyeli uthi kiwo, ‘Nanifika enarheni engininikela yona bona nihlale kiyo,+
3 kufuze nilethe umnikelo kuJehova, nithathe eenkomeni zenu, ezimvwini zenu neembuzini zenu bona nenze umnikelo otjhiswako+ namkha umhlatjelo wokwenza isifungo esikhethekileko namkha umnikelo osuka ehliziyweni+ namkha umnikelo weminyanya egidingwa ngeenkhathi ezithileko zomnyaka+ bona ube liphunga elimnandi kuJehova,+
4 oletha umnikelwakhe kufuze alethe kuJehova nomnikelo weenthoro weflowuru esefiweko,+ ingcenye yetjhumi ye-efa* okuhlanganiswe nengcenye yesine yehini* yamafutha.
5 Kufuze unikele iwayini bona libe mnikelo wesiselo, kwesine kwehini kunye nomnikelo otjhiswako+ namkha umhlatjelo wemvana eduna.
6 Emhlatjelwenakho weramu, kufuze wenze umnikelo weenthoro omakhilogremu amabili weflowuru esefiweko ohlanganiswe nokwesithathu kwehini yamafutha.
7 Kufuze unikele ngewayini libe mnikelo wesiselo, kwesithathu kwehini bona kube liphunga elimnandi kuJehova.
8 Kodwana nange unikela ngekunzana bona ibe mnikelo otjhiswako+ namkha ibe mhlatjelo wokwenza isifungo esikhethekileko+ namkha imihlatjelo yetjhebiswano kuJehova,+
9 emhlatjelwenakho wekunzana, kufuze ulethe nomnikelo weenthoro+ omakhilogremu amathathu nesiquntu weflowuru esefiweko ehlanganiswe nesiquntu sehini yamafutha.
10 Kufuze unikele ngewayini libe mnikelo wesiselo,+ isiquntu sehini libe mnikelo kaZimu owenziwe ngomlilo bona ube liphunga elimnandi kuJehova.
11 Ngilokhu okufuze kwenziwe ngekunzana ngayinye, iramu, iimvana eziduna namkha iimbuzi.
12 Kufuze nenze lokho ngokwesibalo seenlwana enizinikelako.
13 Le yindlela umIsrayeli ngamunye okufuze anikele ngayo umnikelo owenziwe ngomlilo bona ube liphunga elimnandi kuJehova.
14 Nangabe umuntu ovela kwenye inarha ohlala hlangana nani namkha esele anesikhathi eside ahlala nani enze umnikelo ngomlilo bona ube liphunga elimnandi kuJehova, kufuze enze njengani.+
15 Kuzokusebenza umthetho munye kuma-Israyeli nebantwini abavela kwezinye iinarha. Umthetho ozokusebenza kizo zoke iinzukulwana zenu. Abantu abavela kwezinye iinarha kufuze babe njengani phambi kwakaJehova.+
16 Kufuze kube nomthetho munye nesahlulelo sinye esizokusebenza kini nebantwini abavela kwezinye inarha abahlala hlangana nani.’”
17 UJehova waraga wakhuluma noMosi, wathi:
18 “Khuluma nama-Israyeli uthi kiwo, ‘Nanifika enarheni enginisa kiyo
19 benidle ukudla kwakhona,+ kufuze nenzele uJehova umnikelo.
20 Kufuze nenze umnikelo woburotho oburondo obuvuleke phakathi obenziwe ngeflowuru evela esivunweni senu sokuthoma.+ Kufuze niwunikele njengomnikelo weselelweni.
21 Enye iflowuru evela esivunweni senu sokuthoma, kufuze niyinikele bona ibe mnikelo kaJehova kizo zoke iinzukulwana zenu.
22 “‘Nje-ke nange nenza umtjhapho nibhalelwe kulandela yoke imiyalo uJehova ayitjele uMosi,
23 koke uJehova aniyala ngakho asebenzisa uMosi kusukela ngelanga uJehova aniyala ngalo bekufike eenzukulwaneni zenu,
24 nange kwenzeka umtjhapho begodu ihlangano ingazi ngawo, yoke ihlangano kufuze inikele ngekunzana bona ibe mnikelo otjhiswako oliphunga elimnandi kuJehova, inikele umnikelo weenthoro nomnikelo wesiselo ngokwendlela okwenziwa ngayo+ nembuzana bona ibe mnikelo wesono.+
25 Umphristi uzokwenzela ihlangano yoke yakwa-Israyeli umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono+ begodu izokulitjalelwa ngombana kube mtjhapho, izokuletha umnikelwayo owenziwe ngomlilo kuJehova nomnikelwayo wesono phambi kwakaJehova ngebanga lomtjhaphwayo.
26 Yoke ihlangano yakwa-Israyeli izokulitjalelwa nabantu abavela kwezinye iinarha abahlala hlangana nayo ngombana bekumtjhapho owenziwe babantu boke.
27 “‘Nange umuntu enza isono angakahlosi, kufuze anikele ngembuzana esikazi enomnyaka munye bona ibe mnikelo wesono.+
28 Umphristi uzokwenzela umuntu owenze isono phambi kwakaJehova angakahlosi umnikelo wokulitjalelwa kwezono begodu umuntu loyo uzokulitjalelwa.+
29 Kufuze kusebenze umthetho munye kuma-Israyeli nebantwini abavela kwezinye iinarha abahlala hlangana nawo, lokha umuntu nakone angakahlosi.+
30 “‘Kodwana nange umuntu enza isono ngabomu,+ kungaba mIsrayeli namkha umuntu ovela kwenye inarha, uhlambalaza uJehova begodu kufuze abulawe.
31 Ngebanga lokuthi udelele ilizwi lakaJehova weqa umyalwakhe, umuntu loyo kufuze abulawe.+ Uzoziphendulela ngebanga lomtjhaphwakhe.’”+
32 Ngesikhathi ama-Israyeli asemmangweni, afumana umuntu atheza ngelanga leSabatha.+
33 Labo abamfumana atheza bamusa kuMosi no-Aroni nehlangano yoke.
34 Bamvalela+ ngombana bekungakatjhiwo ukuthi kuzokwenziwani ngaye.
35 UJehova wathi kuMosi: “Umuntu loyo kufuze abulawe,+ ihlangano yoke kufuze imkghadlhe ngamatje ngaphandle kwekampa.”+
36 Nje-ke ihlangano yoke yamkhuphela ngaphandle kwekampa, yamkghadlha ngamatje bewafa njengombana uJehova bekayale uMosi.
37 UJehova waraga wathi kuMosi:
38 “Tjela ama-Israyeli bona azenzele wona neenzukulwana zawo amatjharhatjharha emphethweni wezambatho zawo bekathungelele intambo ehlaza komkayi ngaphezudlwana komphetho wamatjharhatjharha.+
39 ‘Kufuze nizenzele umphetho lo wamatjharhatjharha, khona nizakuthi naniwubonako nikhumbule yoke imiyalo kaJehova beniyilalele.+ Akukafuzi nilandele iinhliziyo zenu nalokho enikubonako, okuzonenza ningathembeki kimi.+
40 Lokhu kuzonisiza nikhumbule begodu nilalele yoke imiyalwami, nicwengeke kuZimenu.+
41 NginguJehova uZimenu, owanikhupha enarheni yeGibhide bona nginitjengise ukuthi nginguZimenu.+ NginguJehova uZimenu.’”+
