UDutheronomi 6

1 “Le yiyo imilayo, izimiso lemithetho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu angithuma ukuthi ngilifundise ukuyigcina elizweni elizachapha uJodani lilithathe libe ngelenu,

(And this *L(P)*) [is] the commandment the statutes and the judgments which he has commanded Yahweh God your to teach you to observe in the land where you [are] about to pass over there towards to take possession of it.

2 ukuze lina, labantwabenu kanye labantwababo abezayo bamesabe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ekuphileni kwenu ngokugcina izimiso lemilayo engizalinika yona, ukuze libe lempilo ende.

So that you may fear Yahweh God your to keep all statutes his and commandments his which I [am] commanding you you and child your and [the] child of child your all [the] days of life your and so that they may grow long! days your.

3 Zwana, wena Israyeli, njalo unanzelele ukuthi uyalalela ukuze kukulungele njalo wande kakhulu elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju, njengokuthembisa kukaThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu.

And you will hear O Israel and you will take care to observe [them] that it will go well for you and that you will increase! exceedingly just as he spoke Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you a land flowing of milk and honey.

4 Zwana, wena Israyeli: UThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, nguThixo munye.

Hear O Israel Yahweh God our Yahweh - [is] one.

5 Thanda uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomphefumulo wakho wonke kanye langamandla akho wonke.

And you will love Yahweh God your with all heart your and with all being your and with all strength your.

6 Imilayo le engikupha yona lamuhla kumele ibe sezinhliziyweni zenu.

And they will be the words these which I [am] commanding you this day on heart your.

7 Igcizeleleni ebantwaneni benu. Likhulume ngayo nxa lihlezi emakhaya enu lalapho lihamba endleleni, lapho lilala lanxa livuka.

And you will repeat them to children your and you will speak 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.

8 Ibopheleni ezandleni zenu ibe luphawu, liyibophele lasemabunzini enu.

And you will tie them for a sign on hand your and they will be for marks between eyes your.

9 Ibhaleni emigubazini yezindlu zenu kanye lasemasangweni enu.

And you will write them on [the] doorposts of house your and on gates your.

10 Kuzakuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu eselingenisa elizweni afunga ngalo kuboyihlo, u-Abhrahama, u-Isaka loJakhobe, ukulinika lona, ilizwe elilamadolobho amakhulu, aphumelelayo kodwa elingazakhelanga wona,

And it will be that he will bring you - Yahweh God your into the land which he swore to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give to you cities large and good which not you built.

11 izindlu ezigcwele konke okuhle elingazange likuhluphekele, imithombo yamanzi elingazange liyigebhe, kanye lezivini lezihlahla zama-oliva elingazihlanyelanga, ukuze kuthi lingadla lisuthe,

And houses full every good thing which not you filled and wells dug out which not you dug vineyards and olive trees which not you planted and you will eat and you will be satisfied.

12 linanzelele ukuthi alimkhohlwa uThixo, yena owalikhupha eGibhithe, elizweni lobugqili.

Take heed to yourself lest you should forget Yahweh who he brought out you from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves.

13 Mesabeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, mkhonzeni yena yedwa njalo lifunge ngebizo lakhe.

Yahweh God your you will fear and him you will serve and in name his you will swear oaths.

14 Lingabalandeli abanye onkulunkulu babantu elakhelene labo;

Not you will walk! after gods other any of [the] gods of the peoples which [are] around you.

15 ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ophakathi kwenu, nguThixo olobukhwele njalo ongalithukuthelela, alitshabalalise ebusweni bomhlaba.

For [is] a God jealous Yahweh God your in midst your lest it should burn [the] anger of Yahweh God your on you and he will destroy you from on [the] surface of the ground.

16 Lingamlingi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njengalokhu elakwenza eMasa.

Not you will put to [the] test Yahweh God your just as you put [him] to [the] test at Massah.

17 Nanzelelani ukuthi liyayigcina imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lezimiso kanye lemilayo aliphe yona.

Certainly you will keep! [the] commandments of Yahweh God your and testimonies his and statutes his which he has commanded you.

18 Yenzani okuqondileyo lokuhle emehlweni kaThixo, ukuze konke kulihambele kuhle njalo lingene liyethatha ilizwe uThixo alithembisa okhokho benu ngesifungo,

And you will do the right and the good in [the] eyes of Yahweh so that it may go well for you and you will go and you will take possession of the land good which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your.

19 lidudule zonke izitha eziphambi kwenu, njengokutsho kukaThixo.

To drive out all enemies your from before you just as he has spoken Yahweh.

20 Kuzakuthi ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi nxa indodana yakho ikubuza isithi, ‘Zitshoni izimiso, imilayo lemithetho leyo uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu alipha yona?’

If he will ask you child your tomorrow saying what? [are] the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which he commanded Yahweh God our you.

21 Wena uzakuthi: ‘Sasiyizigqili zikaFaro eGibhithe, kodwa uThixo wasikhupha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe esilamandla.

And you will say to child your slaves we were of Pharaoh in Egypt and he brought out us Yahweh from Egypt by a hand strong.

22 Thina sazibonela ngawethu amehlo uThixo ethumela izibonakaliso lezimangaliso ezinkulu lezesabekayo phezu kweleGibhithe laphezu kukaFaro labo bonke abendlu yakhe.

And he gave Yahweh signs and wonders great and bad - on Egypt on Pharaoh and on all household his to eyes our.

23 Kodwa wasikhupha khonale wasiletha lapha ukuze asinike ilizwe alithembisa okhokho bethu ngesifungo.

And us he brought out from there so as to bring us to give to us the land which he swore to ancestors our.

24 UThixo wasilaya ukuba silalele zonke lezi zimiso lokwesaba uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, ukuze sithole ukuphumelela lokuphila, njengoba kunje lamhlanje.

And he commanded us Yahweh to observe all the statutes these to fear Yahweh God our for good of us all the days to preserve alive us as the day this.

25 Kanti-ke nxa sinanzelela silalela wonke umthetho lo phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, njengokusilaya kwakhe, lokhu kuzakuba yikulunga kwethu.’”

And righteousness it will belong to us that we will take care to observe all the commandment this before Yahweh God our just as he commanded us.
