Dutheronomi 11:1-32
11 “Kufanele nitsandze Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu+ futsi ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi nente tintfo latilindzele kini, nigcine imitsetfo yakhe, timiso takhe kanye nemiyalo yakhe.
2 Niyati kutsi lamuhla ngikhuluma nani hhayi nemadvodzana enu, wona langasati sijeziso lesivela kuJehova Nkulunkulu wenu+ futsi langazange sekasibone, langabati nebukhulu bakhe,+ nesandla sakhe lesinemandla+ kanye nesandla sakhe leseluliwe.
3 Lamadvodzana enu akazange atibone tibonakaliso takhe kanye netintfo latenta eGibhithe kuFaro inkhosi yakhona, nakulo lonkhe live lakhe;+
4 akazange akubone naloko lakwenta emabutfweni aseGibhithe, emahhashini aFaro nasetinkalishini takhe temphi, konkhe lokwambonywa ngemanti eLwandle Lolubovu ngesikhatsi anicosha. Jehova wababhubhisa baphela nya!*+
5 Lamadvodzana enu akazange akubone naloko Nkulunkulu lanentela* kona ehlane, naze nefika kulendzawo,
6 naloko lakwenta kuboDathani na-Abiramu, emadvodzana a-Eliyabe indvodzana yaRubeni, ngesikhatsi umhlaba uvuleka futsi ubagwinya embikwawo onkhe ema-Israyeli, bona kanye nemindeni yabo, emathende abo nabo bonkhe bantfu lebebabalandzela kanye netilwane tabo.+
7 Emehlo enu atibonile tonkhe letintfo letinkhulu Jehova latentile.
8 “Niboyigcina yonkhe lemitsetfo lengininiketa yona lamuhla, kuze nitewuba nemandla, newelele kulelive lenitawulitsatsa libe lenu,
9 niphindze niphile sikhatsi lesidze+ kulelive Jehova lafunga kutsi utalinika bokhokho benu nentalelwane* yabo,+ live leligeleta lubisi neluju.+
10 “Lelive lenitawulitsatsa alifani nelive laseGibhithe, live lenaphuma kulo, lapho benihlanyela khona niphindze nisebente kamatima ninisela umhlaba,* njengengadze yetibhidvo.
11 Kodvwa lelive lesenitakwewelela kulo futsi nilitsatse, lona lilive lelinetintsaba nematsafa.+ Liniselwa ngemanti emvula levela emazulwini.+
12 Leli live Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu lalinakekelako. Emehlo aJehova Nkulunkulu wenu ahlale akulo, kusukela ekucaleni kwemnyaka kuze kube sekupheleni kwawo.
13 “Nanitawutimisela kutsi nilalele imitsetfo yaNkulunkulu lengininika yona lamuhla, nimtsandze Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu futsi nimkhonte ngayo yonkhe inhlitiyo yenu nangawo wonkhe umphefumulo* wenu,+
14 naye* utawuletsa imvula kulelive lenu ngesikhatsi lesifanele, lokuyimvula lebakhona nakungena busika nalebakhona entfwasahlobo. Nitawubutsa lokutinhlavu kwenu, nitfole neliwayini lenu lelisha kanye nemafutsa.+
15 Utawuveta netitjalo emadlelweni kuze kudle imfuyo yenu, nani nitawudla nenetiseke.+
16 Nibocaphela kutsi inhlitiyo yenu ingayengeki kutsi iphambuke, bese nikhonta labanye bonkulunkulu futsi nibakhotsamele.+
17 Ngobe intfukutselo yaJehova itawunivutsela, bese uvala emazulu kuze imvula ingani+ futsi nemhlaba angeke usakhicita, nani nitawushabalala ngekushesha kulelive lelihle Jehova laninika lona.+
18 “Nibogcina lamavi ami etinhlitiyweni tenu kanye nangekhatsi kini, niphindze niwabophe abe sikhumbuto etandleni tenu, futsi kufanele abe njengelibhande emabuntini enu.*+
19 Nibowafundzisa bantfwana benu, nikhulume ngawo nanihleti etindlini tenu, nanihamba endleleni, nanilala nalapho nivuka.+
20 Nibowabhala etinsikeni teminyango yetindlu tenu nasemagedeni enu,
21 kuze nine nemadvodzana enu nitewuphila sikhatsi lesidze+ kulelive Jehova lafunga kutsi utalinika bokhokho benu,+ yingci nje emazulu nakasengetulu kwemhlaba.
22 “Nanitawugcina ngekucophelela lomyalo lengininiketa wona futsi niwulandzele, lokukutsi nitsandze Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu,+ nihambe ngato tonkhe tindlela takhe futsi ninamatsele kuye,+
23 Jehova utaticosha tonkhe letive letisembikwenu.+ Nine nitayitsatsa indzawo yaletive letinemandla naletinkhulu kakhulu kunani.+
24 Yonkhe indzawo leninyatsela kuyo itawuba ngeyenu.+ Umncele wenu utawusuka ehlane uze uyewufika eLebanoni, usuke naseMfuleni iYufrathe uze uyewufika elwandle* lolusenshonalanga.+
25 Kute umuntfu lotawumelana nani.+ Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu utakwenta kutsi bantfu kuyo yonkhe indzawo lenihamba kuyo bachachatele futsi banesabe,+ njengobe nje anetsembisa.
26 “Lamuhla ngibeka sibusiso nesicalekiso embikwenu.+
27 Nitawubusiswa nangabe nilalela lemitsetfo yaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu lengininika yona lamuhla,+
28 kantsi nitawucalekiswa nangabe ningayilaleli lemitsetfo yaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu,+ nanangabe niphambuka endleleni lenginitjela kutsi nihambe ngayo lamuhla, bese nilandzela bonkulunkulu leningabati.
29 “Kutawutsi lapho Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu aningenisa kulelive lenitawulitsatsa libe lenu, kufanele nibusise niseNtsabeni iGerizimu, futsi nicalekise niseNtsabeni i-Ebali.+
30 Angitsi letintsaba tingale kweJordane, nawuya ngasenshonalanga, eveni lemaKhenani lahlala e-Arabha, macondzana neGilgali eceleni kwetihlahla letinkhulu taseMore?+
31 Nyalo newela iJordane kuze ningene nitsatse lelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninika lona.+ Nasenilitsetse lelive futsi senihlala kulo,
32 nibociniseka kutsi niyayigcina yonkhe lemitsetfo netimiso lengininiketa tona lamuhla.+
