Deuteronomy 5
1 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them.
UMozisi wasebiza uIsrayeli wonke, wathi kubo: Zwana, Israyeli, izimiso lezahlulelo engizikhuluma endlebeni zenu lamuhla, ukuze lizifunde, linanzelele ukuzenza.
2 Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yenza isivumelwano lathi eHorebe.
3 Jehovah did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
INkosi kayisenzanga lesisivumelwano labobaba, kodwa lathi, thina sonke esilapha siphila lamuhla.
4 Jehovah spoke with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire
INkosi yakhuluma lani ubuso lobuso entabeni, iphakathi komlilo,
5 (I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Jehovah, for ye were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up onto the mount), saying,
(ngema phakathi kweNkosi lani ngalesosikhathi, ukulazisa ilizwi leNkosi; ngoba lesaba ngenxa yomlilo, kalenyukelanga entabeni) isithi:
6 I am Jehovah thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, eyakukhupha elizweni leGibhithe, endlini yobugqili.
7 Thou shall have no other gods before me.
Ungabi labanye onkulunkulu phambi kwami.
8 Thou shall not make to thee a graven image: any likeness that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Ungazenzeli isithombe esibaziweyo, loba yiwuphi umfanekiso wokusemazulwini phezulu loba wokusemhlabeni phansi, loba wokusemanzini ngaphansi komhlaba.
9 Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, Jehovah thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me,
Ungakukhothameli, ungakukhonzi; ngoba mina iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, nginguNkulunkulu olobukhwele, ngiphindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana, kuze kube sesizukulwaneni sesithathu lesesine sabangizondayo,
10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
njalo ngibenzela umusa abayizinkulungwane zabangithandayo lezabagcina imilayo yami.
11 Thou shall not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Ungaliphathi ngeze ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ngoba iNkosi kayiyikumyekela engelacala ophatha ibizo layo ngeze.
12 Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee.
Gcina usuku lwesabatha, ukulungcwelisa, njengokukulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
13 Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work,
Insuku eziyisithupha uzasebenza, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho;
14 but the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah thy God: thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.
kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa lulisabatha leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ungenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalo, wena lendodana yakho lendodakazi yakho lenceku yakho lencekukazi yakho lenkabi yakho lobabhemi wakho loba yisiphi sezifuyo zakho, lowemzini wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho, ukuze iphumule inceku yakho lencekukazi yakho, njengawe.
15 And thou shall remember that thou were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God brought thee out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm, therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
Njalo ukhumbule ukuthi wawuyinceku elizweni leGibhithe, lokuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakukhupha khona ngesandla esilamandla langengalo eyeluliweyo. Ngakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakulaya ukuthi ugcine usuku lwesabatha.
16 Honor thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee, that thy days may be long, and that it may go well with thee in the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.
Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko, njengokukulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ukuze insuku zakho zelulwe, lokuthi kukulungele elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona.
17 Thou shall not murder.
Ungabulali.
18 Neither shall thou commit adultery.
Njalo ungafebi.
19 Neither shall thou steal.
Njalo ungebi.
20 Neither shall thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Njalo unganiki ubufakazi bamanga ngomakhelwane wakho.
21 Neither shall thou covet thy neighbor's wife. Neither shall thou desire thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is thy neighbor's.
Njalo ungafisi umkamakhelwane wakho; ungahawukeli indlu kamakhelwane wakho, insimu yakhe, lenceku yakhe, lencekukazi yakhe, inkabi yakhe, lobabhemi wakhe, njalo loba yini ekamakhelwane wakho.
22 These words Jehovah spoke to all your assembly on the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.
Amazwi la iNkosi yawakhuluma ebandleni lenu lonke entabeni, iphakathi komlilo, eyezini, lemnyameni onzima, ngelizwi elikhulu; njalo kayengezelelanga. Yawabhala ezibhebheni ezimbili zamatshe, yanginika zona.
23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that ye came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders.
Kwasekusithi lilizwa ilizwi livela phakathi komnyama, lentaba ivutha umlilo, lasondela kimi, zonke inhloko zezizwe zenu, labadala benu,
24 And ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man, and he lives.
lathi: Khangela, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu isitshengisile inkazimulo yayo lobukhulu bayo, lelizwi layo silizwile livela phakathi komlilo; lamuhla sibonile ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma lomuntu aphile.
25 Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, then we shall die.
Ngakho-ke sizafelani? Ngoba lumlilo omkhulu uzasiqothula. Uba siphinda silizwa ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu futhi, sizakufa-ke.
26 For who is there of all flesh, who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
Ngoba ngubani enyameni yonke owezwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu ophilayo likhuluma livela phakathi komlilo, njengathi, waphila?
27 Go thou near, and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say. And speak thou to us all that Jehovah our God shall speak to thee, and we will hear it, and do it.
Sondela wena, uzwe konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezakutsho, usitshele wena konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezakutsho kuwe, sizakuzwa, sikwenze.
28 And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me. And Jehovah said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to thee. They have well said all that they have spoken.
INkosi yasisizwa ilizwi lamazwi enu ekukhulumeni kwenu kimi; iNkosi yasisithi kimi: Ngizwile ilizwi lamazwi alababantu abawakhulume kuwe; kulungile konke abakukhulumileyo.
29 Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their sons forever!
O kungathi bangaba lenhliziyo enjalo yokungesaba, bagcine yonke imilayo yami, insuku zonke, ukuze kubalungele labantwana babo kuze kube nininini!
30 Go say to them, Return ye to your tents.
Hamba uthi kibo: Zibuyeleleni emathenteni enu.
31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to thee all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
Kodwa wena, mana lapha phansi kwami, ke ngikhulume kuwe yonke imilayo lezimiso lezahlulelo ozabafundisa zona, ukuze bazenze elizweni engibanika lona ukuthi badle ilifa lalo.
32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God has commanded you. Ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi lenze njengokulilaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu; lingaphambukeli ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo.
33 Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God has commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
Lizahamba endleleni yonke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu elilaye yona, ukuze liphile, njalo kulilungele, libe seliselula izinsuku elizweni elizakudla ilifa lalo.
