1 UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma wonke la amazwi esithi:
UNkulunkulu wakhuluma amazwi wonke la wathi:
2 NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyakukhupha elizweni leGibhithe, endlini yobugqili.
“NginguThixo uNkulunkulu wakho owakukhupha eGibhithe, elizweni lobugqili.
3 Ungabi labanye onkulunkulu phambi kwami.
Ungabi labanye onkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.
4 Ungazenzeli isithombe esibaziweyo loba yiwuphi umfanekiso wokusemazulwini phezulu, loba wokusemhlabeni phansi, loba wokusemanzini ngaphansi komhlaba;
Ungazenzeli isithombe ngesimo saloba yini esezulwini phezulu loba phansi emhlabeni kumbe ngaphansi kwamanzi.
5 ungakukhothameli, ungakukhonzi; ngoba mina iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, nginguNkulunkulu olobukhwele, ngiphindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana, kuze kube sesizukulwaneni sesithathu lesesine sabangizondayo,
Ungazikhothameli loba ukuzikhonza; ngoba mina Thixo uNkulunkulu wakho nginguNkulunkulu olobukhwele, ojezisa abantwana ngenxa yezono zabazali babo kuze kube yisizukulwane sesithathu lesesine salabo abangizondayo,
6 kodwa ngibenzela umusa abayizinkulungwane zabangithandayo lezabagcina imilayo yami.
kodwa ngitshengisela uthando kuzizukulwane eziyinkulungwane zalabo abangithandayo njalo begcina imilayo yami.
7 Ungaliphathi ngeze ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ngoba iNkosi kayiyikumyekela engelacala ophatha ibizo layo ngeze.
Ungadlali ngebizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ngoba uThixo kayikumyekela olecala lokudlala ngebizo lakhe.
8 Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ukulugcina lube ngcwele.
Khumbula usuku lweSabatha ngokulwenza lubengcwele.
9 Insuku eziyisithupha uzasebenza, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho;
Okwensuku eziyisithupha uzasebenza wenze yonke imisebenzi yakho,
10 kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa lulisabatha leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ungenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalo, wena lendodana yakho lendodakazi yakho, inceku yakho lencekukazi yakho lezifuyo zakho lowemzini wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho.
kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa luyiSabatha kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho. Ngalo awuyikwenza loba yiwuphi umsebenzi, wena, loba indodana yakho, loba indodakazi yakho, loba inceku kumbe incekukazi yakho, loba izifuyo zakho loba isihambi esikwethekeleleyo emzini wakho.
11 Ngoba ngensuku eziyisithupha iNkosi yenza amazulu lomhlaba lolwandle lakho konke okukukho, yasiphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa; ngalokhu iNkosi yalubusisa usuku lwesabatha, yalungcwelisa.
Ngoba ngensuku eziyisithupha uThixo wenza amazulu lomhlaba, ulwandle lakho konke okukukho, kodwa waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa. Ngakho-ke walubusisa usuku lweSabatha walwenza lwaba ngcwele.
12 Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko, ukuze insuku zakho zelulwe elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona.
Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko ukuze impilo yakho ibende elizweni akunika lona uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho.
16 Unganiki ubufakazi bamanga ngomakhelwane wakho.
Ungafakazi amanga ngomakhelwane wakho.
17 Ungafisi indlu kamakhelwane wakho, ungafisi umkamakhelwane wakho, lenceku yakhe, lencekukazi yakhe, lenkabi yakhe, lobabhemi wakhe, njalo loba yini ekamakhelwane wakho.
Ungahawukeli indlu kamakhelwane wakho. Ungahawukeli umfazi kamakhelwane wakho, loba inceku kumbe incekukazi yakhe, inkabi yakhe loba ubabhemi wakhe loba yini ekamakhelwane wakho.”
18 Bonke abantu basebebona imidumo lemibane lelizwi lophondo, lentaba ithunqa. Kwathi abantu bekubona bathuthumela, bema khatshana;
Kwathi abantu besizwa umdumo bebona lombane, besizwa icilongo njalo bebona intaba ithunqa intuthu, bathuthumela ngokwesaba. Bema khatshana,
19 bathi kuMozisi: Khuluma wena lathi, njalo sizakuzwa; kodwa uNkulunkulu kangakhulumi lathi hlezi sife.
bathi kuMosi, “Khuluma kithi wena sizakulalela. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kangakhulumi kithi yena ngokwakhe ngoba singafa.”
20 UMozisi wasesithi ebantwini: Lingesabi; ngoba uNkulunkulu ufikile ukuze alilinge, lokuze ukwesabeka kwakhe kube phambi kwenu, ukuze lingoni.
UMosi wathi, “Lingesabi, uNkulunkulu uzelihlola ukuze limesabe lokuze lingoni.”
21 Abantu bema-ke khatshana; kodwa uMozisi wasondela emnyameni onzima lapho uNkulunkulu ayekhona.
Abantu basala belokhu bemi bucwadlanyana, uMosi wangena phakathi komnyama waya lapho okwakuloNkulunkulu khona.
22 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: Lina selibonile ukuthi ngikhulume lani ngisemazulwini.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Tshela abantu bako-Israyeli uthi, ‘Lizibonele lina ngokwenu ukuthi ngikhulume lani ngisezulwini.
23 Kaliyikwenza kanye lami onkulunkulu besiliva, njalo onkulunkulu begolide kaliyikuzenzela.
Lingenzi onkulunkulu ukuba babekhona kanye lami; lingazenzeli onkulunkulu besiliva kumbe onkulunkulu begolide.
24 Ngenzela ilathi lenhlabathi, unikele phezu kwalo iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa leminikelo yakho yokuthula, izimvu zakho lenkabi zakho. Kuyo yonke indawo lapho engilenza ibizo lami ukuthi likhunjulwe khona ngizakuza kuwe ngikubusise.
Ngakhelani i-alithari ngomhlabathi lenzele kulo umhlatshelo womnikelo wokutshiswa, leminikelo yobudlelwano, izimvu lembuzi kanye lenkomo zenu. Loba kungaphi lapho engizakwenza ibizo lami lihlonitshwe khona, ngizakuza kini ngilibusise.
25 Kodwa uba ungenzela ilathi lamatshe, awuyikulakha ngamatshe abaziweyo; ngoba nxa uphakamisela kulo insimbi yakho yokubaza, uyalingcolisa.
Nxa lingakhela i-alithari ngamatshe, lingaze lawabaza lawomatshe ngoba lizalingcolisa nxa lingasebenzisa okokubaza kulo.
26 Awuyikukhwela phezu kwelathi lami ngezikhwelo, ukuze ubunqunu bakho bungembulwa phezu kwalo.
Lingaze laya e-alithareni lami ngezikhwelo funa ubunqunu benu bembulwe khona lapho.’”
