1 “Nanzelelani njalo lilandele yonke imilayo engilinika yona lamuhla, ukuze liphile njalo lande khona lizangena lithumbe ilizwe uThixo alinika okhokho benu ethembisa ngesifungo.
O NA kauoha a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, o ka oukou ia e hoomanao ai e hana, i ola oukou, i mahuahua ae, i komo aku oukou, a noho ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna.
2 Likhumbule ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu walikhokhela njani lidabula inkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, elichumisa lokulilinga ukuthi abone okwakusezinhliziyweni zenu, ukuthi kambe lizayigcina imiyalo yakhe na loba hayi.
E hoomanao hoi oe i ke ala a pau a Iehova kou Akua i kai mai ai ia oe ma ka waonahele i keia mau makahiki he kanaha, e hoohaahaa iho ia oe, e hoao hoi ia oe, e ike hoi ia i ka mea maloko o kou naau, i malama paha oe, i malama ole paha i kana mau kauoha.
3 UThixo walichumisa, walenza lalamba kanti njalo walipha ukudla okuyimana, ukudla lokho laboyihlo abangazange bakwazi, kuyikulifundisa ukuthi umuntu kaphili ngesinkwa kuphela zwi kodwa ngalo lonke ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni kaThixo.
Ua hoohaahaa ia ia oe, ua haawi mai oia ia oe i ka pololi, a ua hanai mai ia oe i ka mane au i ike ole ai, aole hoi i ike kou mau kupuna; i hoike mai ia ia oe, aole e ola ke kanaka ma ka berena wale no; aka, ke ola nei ke kanaka i na huaolelo a pau mailoko mai o ka waha o Iehova.
4 Izigqoko zenu aziguganga njalo lezinyawo zenu azivuvukanga kuleyo minyaka engamatshumi amane.
Aole i weluwelu kou aahu maluna ou, aole hoi i pehu kou wawae i neia mau makahiki he kanaha.
5 Gcinani lokhu ezinhliziyweni zenu lazi ukuthi njengendoda ikhuza indodana yayo, ngokufananayo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyalikhuza.
E hoomanao hoi oe iloko o kou naau, e like me ke kanaka e hooehaeha ana i kana keiki, pela hoi o Iehova e hooehaeha mai ai ia oe.
6 Gcinani imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lihambe endleleni yakhe njalo limkhonze.
No ia hoi, e malama oe i na kauoha a Iehova a kou Akua, e hele oe ma kona mau aoao, a e makau ia ia.
7 Ngakho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulisa elizweni elihle, ilizwe elilezifula leziziba zamanzi, intombo zamanzi ezimpompoza ezigodini lasemaqaqeni;
No ka mea, ke alakai aku nei o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i ka aina maikai he aina wai e kahe ana ma kahawai, o na punawai, o na waipuna e piipii mai ana, mailoko mai o na awawa a me na puu:
8 elizweni lengqoloyi lebhali, amavini lemikhiwa, amaphomegranathi, amafutha ama-oliva lenyosi;
He aina mea palaoa, a me ka bale, a me na kumu waina, a me na laau fiku, a me na pomegerane, he aina laau oliva mea aila, a me ka meli:
9 elizweni lapha okungasayi kusweleka khona isinkwa njalo aliyikuswela lutho; elizweni lapho amatshe akhona ayinsimbi kanti njalo lingemba ikhopha emaqaqeni.
He aina kahi au e ai ai i ka berena me ka wi ole, aole oe e nele i kekahi mea malaila; he aina mea pohaku hao, a ma na puu ona e eli iho ai oe i ke keleawe.
10 Lizakuthi selidlile lasutha, lidumise uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngelizwe elihle alinike lona.
Aia ai iho oe a maona, alaila e hoomaikai aku oe ia Iehova kou Akua, no ka aina maikai ana i haawi mai ai ia oe.
11 Linanzelele ukuthi alilibali uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lingehluleki ukugcina imilayo yakhe, imithetho kanye lezimiso engilinika zona lamuhla.
E ao, o hoopoina oe ia Iehova kou Akua, ma ka malama ole i kana mau kauoha, i kana mau olelo kupaa, a me kona mau kanawai, a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la.
12 Kungenzeka ukuthi lithi selidlile lasutha, selakhe izindlu ezinhle lahlala lazinza,
Malia paha, a ai iho oe a maona, a kukulu oe i na hale maikai a noho iho iloko;
13 njalo imihlambi yezifuyo zenu leyezimvu zenu isiqhelile yanda kuze kuthi lesiliva legolide lenu selilinengi kanye lakho konke okwenu sekukunengi kuphindwe kanenginengi,
A hoomahuahuaia'e kou poe bipi a me kau poe hipa, a mahuahua hoi kau kala a me kau gula, a ua nui hoi kau mau mea a pau;
14 liziqhenye ezinhliziyweni zenu, libe selikhohlwa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, yena owalikhupha eGibhithe, walikhupha elizweni lobugqili.
Alaila e hookiekieia'e kou naau iluna, a hoopoina oe ia Iehova kou Akua, nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, mailoko mai hoi o ka liale hooluhi;
15 UThixo walikhokhela enkangala enkulu eyesabekayo, eyomileyo engelamanzi, elobuthi benyoka lenkume. Walinika amanzi aphuma edwaleni.
Nana oe i alakai mai mawaena o kela waonahele nui weliweli; kahi o na nahesa wela, a me na moohueloawa, he maloo, he wahi wai ole, nana i hookahe mai ka wai nou mailoko mai o ka pohaku paa;
16 Walinika imana ukuba lidle enkangala, into abangazange bayazi oyihlo, ukulichumisa njalo lokulilinga ukuze kuthi ekucineni kulihambele kuhle.
Nana no hoi oe i hanai me ka mane ma ka waonahele, ka mea a ko oukou mau kupuna i ike ole ai, i hoohaahaa mai ai ia ia oe, a i hoao mai ai hoi ia ia oe, i mea e pomaikai ai oe i kou wa mahope;
17 Mhlawumbe lingathi, ‘Ngokuzimisela kwami langamandla ezandla zami sengizidalele inotho.’
O i iho oe ma kou naau, Na ko'u mana, a me ka ikaika o kuu lima, i loaa'i ia'u keia waiwai.
18 Kodwa khumbulani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngoba kunguye olipha amandla okunotha, lokho kuyikho ukugcwaliseka kwesivumelwano sakhe, sona afunga kubokhokho benu, okulokhu kunjalo lalamuhla.
E hoomanao oe ia Iehova i kou Akua: no ka mea, oia ke haawi mai ia oe i ka pono e loaa'i ka waiwai, i hookupaa oia i kana berita ana i hoohiki ai i ou mau kupuna, e like me ia i keia la.
19 Nxa lizake likhohlwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu beselilandela abanye onkulunkulu libakhonze libakhothamele, ngiyalifungela lamuhla ukuthi lizabhujiswa ngempela.
A ina oe e hoopoina iki ia Iehova i kou Akua, a e hele mamuli o na akua e, e malama, a e hoomana aku ia lakou, ke hoike aku nei au ia oukou i keia la, he oiaio, e make oukou.
20 Njengezizwe uThixo azibhubhisa phambi kwenu lani lizabhujiswa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”
E like me na lahuikanaka a Iehova e luku aku ana imua o ko oukou maka, pela oukou e make ai; no ka mea, aole oukou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova ko oukou Akua.
