3 Lina selibonile konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ekwenzileyo kulezizizwe zonke ngenxa yenu, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu yiyo elilweleyo.

and you(m. p.) to see: see [obj] all which to make: do LORD God your to/for all [the] nation [the] these from face: before your for LORD God your he/she/it [the] to fight to/for you

4 Bonani, ngilabele ngenkatho lezizizwe eziseleyo zibe yilifa lezizwe zenu, kusukela eJordani, lazo zonke izizwe engiziqumileyo, ngitsho kuze kube selwandle olukhulu lapho okutshona khona ilanga.

to see: behold! to fall: allot to/for you [obj] [the] nation [the] to remain [the] these in/on/with inheritance to/for tribe your from [the] Jordan and all [the] nation which to cut: eliminate and [the] sea [the] Great (Sea) entrance [the] sun

and to strengthen: strengthen much to/for to keep: obey and to/for to make: do [obj] all [the] to write in/on/with scroll: book instruction Moses to/for lest to turn aside: turn aside from him right and left

7 ukuze lingangeni kulezi izizwe, lezi ezisele lani, lingaphathi ibizo labonkulunkulu bazo, lingafungisi ngabo, lingabakhonzi, lingakhothami kubo,

to/for lest to come (in): come in/on/with nation [the] these [the] to remain [the] these with you and in/on/with name God their not to remember and not to swear and not to serve: minister them and not to bow to/for them

for if: except to return: return to return: return and to cleave in/on/with remainder [the] nation [the] these [the] to remain [the] these with you and be related in/on/with them and to come (in): marry in/on/with them and they(masc.) in/on/with you

13 yazini lokwazi ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu kayiyikuqhubeka ngokuzixotsha elifeni lezizizwe phambi kwenu; kodwa zizakuba yisifu lomjibila kini, zibe luswazi enhlangothini zenu, lameva emehlweni enu, lize libhubhe liphele kulelilizwe elihle, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu elinike lona.

14 Khangelani-ke, ngihamba lamuhla ngendlela yomhlaba wonke. Njalo liyazi enhliziyweni yenu yonke lemphefumulweni wenu wonke ukuthi akukho lelizwi elilodwa elehlulekayo kuwo wonke amazwi amahle iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ewakhulumileyo phezu kwenu; wonke ezile kini, akukho lelizwi elilodwa elehlulekayo kuwo.

and behold I to go: went [the] day: today in/on/with way: journey all [the] land: country/planet and to know in/on/with all heart your and in/on/with all soul your for not to fall: fail word: thing one from all [the] word: thing [the] pleasant which to speak: promise LORD God your upon you [the] all to come (in): come to/for you not to fall: fail from him word: thing one
