Deuteronomy 11
1 And you will love Yahweh God your and you will keep command his and statutes his and judgments his and commandments his all the days.
Ngakho wothanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ugcine umlayo wayo lezimiso zayo lezahlulelo zayo lemithetho yayo insuku zonke.
2 And you will know this day that - not children your who not they have known and who not they have seen [the] training of Yahweh God your greatness his hand his mighty and arm his outstretched.
Yazini lamuhla, ngoba kangikhulumi ebantwaneni benu abangakwaziyo labangakubonanga ukulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, ubukhulu bayo, isandla sayo esilamandla, lengalo yayo eyeluliweyo,
3 And signs his and deeds his which he did in [the] midst of Egypt to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and to all land his.
lezibonakaliso zayo lezenzo zayo eyazenza phakathi kweGibhithe kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, lelizweni lakhe lonke,
4 And which he did to [the] army of Egypt to horses its and to chariotry its when he caused to flow [the] water of [the] sea of reed[s] over faces their when pursued they after you and he destroyed them Yahweh until the day this.
lalokho eyakwenza ebuthweni leGibhithe, emabhizeni ayo lenqoleni zayo, lokuthi yenza amanzi oLwandle oluBomvu abakhukhule lapho bexotshana lani, lokuthi iNkosi yababhubhisa, kuze kube lamuhla,
5 And which he did to you in the wilderness until came you to the place this.
lalokho eyakwenza kini enkangala laze lafika kulindawo,
6 And which he did to Dathan and to Abiram [the] sons of Eliab [the] son of Reuben when it opened the earth mouth its and it swallowed them and households their and tents their and all the substance which [was] at feet their in [the] midst of all Israel.
lalokho eyakwenza kuDathani lakuAbiramu amadodana kaEliyabi indodana kaRubeni, ukuthi umhlaba wakhamisa umlomo wawo wabaginya bona labezindlu zabo, lamathente abo, lakho konke okwakungokwabo, phakathi kukaIsrayeli wonke.
7 For eyes your [are] the [ones which] saw all [the] work of Yahweh great which he did.
Kodwa amehlo enu abonile zonke izenzo ezinkulu zeNkosi eyazenzayo.
8 And you will keep all the commandment which I [am] commanding you this day so that you may be strong and you will go and you will take possession of the land where you [are] about to pass over there towards to take possession of it.
Ngakho lizagcina yonke imithetho engikulaya yona lamuhla, ukuze libe lamandla lingene lidle ilifa lelizwe, elichaphela kulo ukuyakudla ilifa lalo,
9 And so that you may prolong days on the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your to give to them and to offspring their a land flowing of milk and honey.
lokuthi lelule izinsuku elizweni iNkosi eyalifungela oyihlo ukubanika lona lenzalo yabo, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.
10 For the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it not [is] like [the] land of Egypt it where you came out from there where you sowed seed your and you watered [it] with foot your like [the] garden of vegetable[s].
Ngoba ilizwe ongena kilo ukudla ilifa lalo kalinjengelizwe leGibhithe eliphuma kilo, lapho owahlanyela khona inhlanyelo yakho, wayithelela ngonyawo lwakho, njengesivande semibhida;
11 And the land where you [are] about to pass over there towards to take possession of it [is] a land of mountains and valleys to [the] rain of the heavens it drinks water.
kodwa ilizwe elichaphela kilo ukudla ilifa lalo liyilizwe lamaqaqa lezigodi, linatha amanzi ngezulu lamazulu;
12 A land which Yahweh God your [is] caring for it continually [the] eyes of Yahweh God your [are] on it from [the] beginning of the year and until [the] end of a year.
ilizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho elikhathalelayo; amehlo eNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho aphezu kwalo njalo, kusukela ekuqaleni komnyaka kuze kube sekupheleni komnyaka.
13 And it will be certainly [if] you will obey commandments my which I [am] commanding you this day to love Yahweh God your and to serve him with all heart your and with all being your.
Kuzakuthi-ke, uba lilalela lokulalela imithetho yami engililaya yona lamuhla, ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lokuyikhonza ngenhliziyo yenu yonke langomphefumulo wenu wonke,
14 And I will give [the] rain of land your at appropriate time its autumn rain and spring rain and you will gather grain your and new wine your and fresh oil your.
ngizanika izulu lelizwe lenu ngesikhathi salo, izulu elokuqala lezulu lokucina, ukuze ubuthe amabele akho lewayini lakho elitsha lamafutha akho.
15 And I will give grass in field[s] your for cattle your and you will eat and you will be satisfied.
Ngizanika izifuyo zakho utshani edlelweni lakho, njalo uzakudla, usuthe.
16 Take heed to yourselves lest it should be deceived heart your and you will turn aside and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them.
Ziqapheleni, hlezi inhliziyo yenu ikhohliseke, liphambuke, likhonze abanye onkulunkulu, libakhothamele,
17 And it will burn [the] anger of Yahweh on you and he will shut up the heavens and not it will come rain and the ground not it will yield produce its and you will perish quickly from on the land good which Yahweh [is] about to give to you.
ukuze ulaka lweNkosi lulivuthele, njalo ivale amazulu, ukuze kungabi khona izulu, lelizwe lingatheli isivuno salo, libhubhe masinyane lisuke elizweni elihle iNkosi elinika lona.
18 And you will put words my these on heart your and on being your and you will tie them for a sign on hand your and they will be for marks between eyes your.
Ngakho lizabeka lamazwi ami enhliziyweni yenu lemphefumulweni wenu, liwabophele esandleni senu abe luphawu, ukuze abe ngamafilakteriyu phakathi laphakathi kwamehlo enu.
19 And you will teach them children your by speaking in them when sitting you in house your and when walking you on the road and when lying down you and when rising up you.
Lizawafundisa abantwana benu, ukhulume ngawo lapho uhlezi endlini yakho, lalapho uhamba endleleni, lalapho ulala, lalapho uvuka.
20 And you will write them on [the] doorposts of house your and on gates your.
Liwabhale emigubazini yendlu yakho lemasangweni akho,
21 So that they may increase days your and [the] days of children your on the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your to give to them like [the] days of the heavens above the earth.
ukuze zande insuku zenu lensuku zabantwana benu, elizweni iNkosi eyalifungela oyihlo ukubanika lona, njengensuku zamazulu phezu komhlaba.
22 That except certainly you will keep! all the commandment this which I [am] commanding you to do it to love Yahweh God your to walk in all ways his and to cleave to him.
Ngoba uba ligcina lokugcina yonke imithetho le engililaya ukuthi liyenze, ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuhamba ngendlela zayo zonke, lokunamathela kuyo,
23 And he will dispossess Yahweh all the nations these from to before you and you will dispossess nations great and mighty more than you.
khona iNkosi izaxotsha elifeni zonke lezizizwe zisuke phambi kwenu, lidle ilifa lezizwe ezinkulu lezilamandla kulani.
24 Every place which it will tread [the] sole of foot your on it to you it will belong from the wilderness and Lebanon from the River [the] river of Euphrates and to the sea western it will be territory your.
Yonke indawo lapho ingaphansi yonyawo lwenu ezanyathela khona izakuba ngeyenu; kusukela enkangala, leLebhanoni, kusukela emfuleni, umfula iYufrathi, kuze kufike elwandle lokucina, kuzakuba ngumngcele wenu.
25 Not he will stand anyone in faces your dread your and fear your he will put - Yahweh God your over [the] face of all the land which you will tread on it just as he spoke to you.
Kakulamuntu ozakuma phambi kwenu; iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izabeka ukwesabeka kwenu lokutshaywa luvalo ngani phezu kwalo lonke ilizwe elizanyathela kulo, njengalokhu etshilo kini.
26 See I [am] setting before you this day a blessing and a curse.
Khangelani, lamuhla ngiyabeka phambi kwenu isibusiso lesiqalekiso;
27 The blessing that you will obey [the] commandments of Yahweh God your which I [am] commanding you this day.
isibusiso, uba lilalela imithetho yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu engililaya yona lamuhla;
28 And the curse if not you will obey [the] commandments of Yahweh God your and you will turn aside from the way which I [am] commanding you this day to walk after gods other which not you have known.
lesiqalekiso, uba lingalaleli imithetho yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, kodwa liphambuka endleleni engililaya yona lamuhla, ukulandela abanye onkulunkulu elingabazanga.
29 And it will be that he will bring you Yahweh God your into the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it and you will set the blessing on [the] mountain of Gerizim and the curse on [the] mountain of Ebal.
Kuzakuthi lapho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho esekungenisile elizweni oya kulo ukudla ilifa lalo, uzabeka isibusiso phezu kwentaba yeGerizimi, lesiqalekiso phezu kwentaba yeEbhali.
30 ¿ Not [are] they on [the] other side of the Jordan behind [the] direction of [the] setting of the sun in [the] land of the Canaanite[s] who is dwelling in the Arabah opposite to Gilgal beside [the] great trees of Moreh.
Angithi zona ziphetsheya kweJordani emva kwendlela yekutshoneni kwelanga, elizweni lamaKhanani ahlala emagcekeni maqondana leGiligali, eduze lezihlahla zama-okhi zeMore?
31 For you [are] about to pass over the Jordan to go to take possession of the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you and you will take possession of it and you will dwell in it.
Ngoba lizachapha iJordani ukuze lingene lidle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu elinika lona. Lizakudla ilifa lalo, lihlale kilo,
32 And you will take care to observe all the statutes and the judgments which I [am] setting before you this day.
linanzelele ukwenza zonke izimiso lezahlulelo engizibeka phambi kwenu lamuhla.
