Deuteronomy 27
1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
UMozisi labadala bakoIsrayeli basebelaya abantu besithi: Gcina yonke imithetho engililaya yona lamuhla.
2 And it shall be on the day when ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
Kuzakuthi-ke mhla lichapha iJordani lisiya elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona, uzazimisela amatshe amakhulu, uwahuqe ngekalaga,
3 and thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou goest over that thou mayest enter into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
ubhale kuwo wonke amazwi alumlayo nxa usuchaphile, ukuze ungene elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, njengalokho iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo ikhulumile kuwe.
4 And it shall be when ye go over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, as I command you this day, on mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
Kuzakuthi-ke selichaphile iJordani, limise lamatshe engililaya ngawo lamuhla, entabeni yeEbhali, liwahuqe ngekalaga.
5 And there shalt thou build an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones; thou shalt not lift up an iron [tool] upon them;
Wakhele khona iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ilathi, ilathi lamatshe. Ungasebenzisi insimbi phezu kwawo.
6 of whole stones shalt thou build the altar of Jehovah thy God; and thou shalt offer up burnt-offerings thereon to Jehovah thy God.
Wakhele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ilathi ngamatshe apheleleyo. Unikele phezu kwalo iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho,
7 And thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before Jehovah thy God.
uhlabe iminikelo yokuthula, udle lapho, uthokoze phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
Futhi ubhale phezu kwamatshe wonke amazwi alumlayo, kukhanye kuhle.
9 And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hearken, Israel! this day thou art become the people of Jehovah thy God.
UMozisi labapristi abangamaLevi basebekhuluma kuIsrayeli wonke besithi: Thula ulalele, Israyeli; lamuhla usuyisizwe seNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
10 And thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
Ngakho uzalalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, wenze imilayo yayo lezimiso zayo engikulaya zona lamuhla.
11 And Moses gave commandment to the people the same day, saying,
UMozisi wasebalaya abantu ngalolosuku esithi:
12 These shall stand to bless the people upon mount Gerizim, when ye have gone over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
Laba bazakuma entabeni yeGerizimi ukubusisa abantu nxa selichaphe iJordani: OSimeyoni, loLevi, loJuda, loIsakari, loJosefa, loBhenjamini.
13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
