1 Ungahlabeli iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho inkabi kumbe imvu okukuyo isici, loba yiyiphi into embi, ngoba kuyisinengiso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho.
“ʻOua naʻa ke feilaulau ʻaki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ha pulu, pe ha sipi, ʻaia ʻoku ai hano mele, pe ha momoʻi kovi: he ko e meʻa kovi ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
2 Uba kutholakala phakathi kwakho, loba phakathi kwaliphi lamasango akho, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika wona, owesilisa loba owesifazana owenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ngokweqa isivumelwano sayo,
“Kapau ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi ha kolo ʻaia ʻoku tuku mai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ha tangata pe ha fefine, ʻaia kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae angakovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi he fai talangataʻa ki heʻene fuakava,
3 abesesiyakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, abakhothamele, loba ilanga kumbe inyanga, kumbe enye yebutho lamazulu, engingakulayanga,
Pea kuo ʻalu ia ʻo tauhi ʻotua kehe, pea lotu ki ai, pe ko e laʻā, pe ko e māhina, pe ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he langi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau;
4 ube usukubikelwa, ukuzwe, uzakubuzisisa, khangela-ke, kuliqiniso, indaba iqinisekile, lesosinengiso senziwe koIsrayeli,
Pea kapau ʻoku tala ia kiate koe, pea kuo ke fanongo ki ai, mo ke fehuʻi fakapapau, pea vakai, ʻoku moʻoni, pea kuo pau pe ʻae meʻa ko ia, kuo fai ʻi ʻIsileli ʻae meʻa kovi ko ia:
5 uzayikhupha leyondoda kumbe lowo owesifazana, abenze leyonto embi, emasangweni akho, leyondoda kumbe lowo owesifazana, ubakhande ngamatshe baze bafe.
Te ke toki ʻomi kituʻa ʻae tangata pe ko e fefine ko ia, ʻaia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa kovi ko ia, ki ho matapā, ʻio, ʻae tangata pe ko e fefine ko ia, pea tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka, ke mate.
6 Ngomlomo wabafakazi ababili loba wabafakazi abathathu ofanele ukufa uzabulawa; kayikubulawa ngomlomo womfakazi oyedwa.
“ʻI he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua, pe toko tolu, ʻe tuku ke mate ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke mate; ka ʻi he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe tokotaha pe ʻe ʻikai fakamaau ke mate ia;
7 Isandla sabafakazi sizakuba ngesokuqala phezu kwakhe ukumbulala, lemva kwalokho isandla sabo bonke abantu. Ngalokhu uzakhupha ububi phakathi kwakho.
ʻE tomuʻa ʻai ʻae nima ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni kiate ia ke tāmateʻi ia, pea toki hoko ʻae nima ʻoe kakai kotoa pē. ʻE pehē ʻa hoʻomou tukuange ai ʻae kovi ʻiate kimoutolu.
8 Uba kulodaba olulukhuni kakhulu kuwe ekwahluleleni, phakathi kwegazi legazi, phakathi kwesahlulelo lesahlulelo, laphakathi kokutshaya lokutshaya, indaba zokuphikisana emasangweni akho, khona uzasukuma uye endaweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ezayikhetha,
“Kapau ʻe hoko ha meʻa ʻoku fifilingataʻa ʻaupito ʻa hono fakamaauʻi, ʻi he fetāmateʻiʻaki, ʻi he fefakamaau ʻaki, mo e fetāʻaki, ʻaia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae fakakikihi ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo: pea te ke toki tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu hake ki he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua;
9 uze kubapristi abangamaLevi lakumahluleli ozakuba ekhona ngalezonsuku, uzabuza; babesebekutshela isinqumo sesahlulelo.
Pea te ke haʻu ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai, pea kiate ia ʻoku fakamaau ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ke fehuʻi ki ai; pea tenau fakahā kiate koe ʻa hono fakamaau totonu.
10 Njalo uzakwenza njengokwesinqumo abazakutshela sona kuleyondawo iNkosi ezayikhetha; njalo unanzelele ukwenza njengakho konke abazakufundisa khona.
Pea te ke fai ʻo hangē ko hono fakatonutonu, ʻaia ʻe fakahā ʻi he potu ko ia kiate koe ʻekinautolu, ʻi he potu ko ia ʻaia kuo fili ʻe Sihova; pea te ke tokanga ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau tala kiate koe:
11 Njengokomthetho abazakufundisa wona, lanjengokwesahlulelo abazakutshela sona, uzakwenza. Kawuyikuphambuka kusinqumo abazakutshela sona, uye ngakwesokunene kumbe ngakwesokhohlo.
Ke ke fai ʻo tatau mo e fakamaau ʻoe fono ʻaia tenau ako ʻaki kiate koe, pea hangē ko e fakamaau ʻaia tenau tala kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke afe mei hono fakatonutonu ʻaia tenau fakahā kiate koe, ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema.
12 Lendoda eyenza ngokuziqhenya ukuze ingalaleli umpristi omi ukukhonza khona iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, kumbe umahluleli, leyondoda izakufa. Ngalokhu uzakhupha ububi koIsrayeli.
“Pea ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku pau pe ke fai loto lahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai fie fanongo ki he taulaʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pe ki he fakamaau, ko e tangata ko ia ʻe mate: pea te ke tukuange ʻae kovi mei ʻIsileli.
13 Njalo bonke abantu bazakuzwa, besabe, bangaphindi ukuziqhenya.
Pea ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea manavahē, pea ʻe ʻikai toe fai ʻae anga loto lahi.
14 Lapho usufikile elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona ukuthi udle ilifa lalo, uhlale kilo, ubususithi: Ngizazimisela inkosi njengazo zonke izizwe ezingizingelezeleyo;
“ʻI hoʻo hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, pea ke maʻu ia, mo ke nofo ki ai, pea ke pehē, Te u fakanofo ha tuʻi ke pule kiate au, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai au;
15 umbeke lokumbeka abe yinkosi phezu kwakho, yena iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ezamkhetha. Evela phakathi kwabafowenu umbeke abe yinkosi phezu kwakho; kawulakumbeka owezizweni phezu kwakho ongesumfowenu.
Ko e moʻoni ke ke fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi ke pule kiate koe, ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ke ke fakanofo ha tokotaha mei ho kāinga ko e tuʻi kiate koe: ʻoua naʻa ke fakanofo ha muli ke pule kiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ko ho tokoua.
16 Kodwa angazandiseli amabhiza, njalo angababuyiseli abantu eGibhithe ukuze andise amabhiza, ngoba iNkosi ithe kini: Kalisayikubuyela futhi ngaleyondlela.
Kaeʻoua naʻa fakalahi ʻe ia ʻae fanga hoosi kiate ia, pe pule ke toe ʻalu atu ʻae kakai ki ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi ke ne fakalahi ʻae fanga hoosi: he kuo folofola ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou toe ʻalu ʻi he hala ko ia.
17 Futhi angazandiseli abafazi, ukuze inhliziyo yakhe ingaphambuki; njalo angazandiseli kakhulu isiliva legolide.
Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatokolahi ʻe ia ʻae uaifi kiate ia, telia naʻa afe kehe hono loto: pea ʻoua naʻa ne fakalahi ʻaupito ʻae siliva mo e koula kiate ia.
18 Kuzakuthi esehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso wakhe, uzazibhalela impinda yalumlayo egwalweni, okuvela kulokho okuphambi kwabapristi abangamaLevi.
Pea ʻoka hoko ia ʻo nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga, te ne hiki ʻo tohi nima maʻana ʻae fono ni ʻi ha tohi mei he tohi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai:
19 Njalo luzakuba laye, njalo abale kulo insuku zonke zempilo yakhe, ukuze afunde ukuyesaba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe, agcine wonke amazwi alumlayo lezimiso lezi, akwenze,
Pea ʻe ʻiate ia ia, pea te ne lau ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ai ia ke manavahē kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ke fai ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ke fai ki ai:
20 ukuze inhliziyo yakhe ingaziphakamisi phezu kwabafowabo, lokuze angaphambuki emthethweni aye ngakwesokunene loba ngakwesokhohlo, ukuze elule izinsuku embusweni wakhe, yena labantwana bakhe, phakathi kukaIsrayeli.
Ke ʻoua naʻa hiki hake hono loto ki hono kāinga, pea ke ʻoua naʻa tafoki mei he fekau, ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema: koeʻuhi ke fakatolonga ai hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻi hono puleʻanga, ʻa ia, mo ʻene ngaahi fānau, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻIsileli.
