1 UMozisi wasekhuluma kunhloko zezizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli esithi: Yile into iNkosi elaye ngayo:
UMosi wathi kwabazinhloko zezizwana zabako-Israyeli: “Nanku ukulaya kukaThixo:
2 Nxa indoda ithembisa isithembiso eNkosini, loba ifunga isifungo, ukubopha umphefumulo wayo ngesibopho, kayingephuli ilizwi layo; izakwenza njengakho konke okuphuma emlonyeni wayo.
Nxa indoda isenza isifungo kuThixo loba isenza isifungo iziphe icala ngokuthembisa, akumelanga yephule isithembiso sayo kodwa kumele igcwalise ngokwenza konke ekutshiloyo.
3 Futhi nxa owesifazana ethembisa isithembiso eNkosini, azibophe ngesibopho, esesemzini kayise ebutsheni bakhe,
Nxa intombazana elokhu isezandleni zabazali bayo isenza isifungo kuThixo loba iziphe icala ngokuthembisa
4 loyise esizwa isithembiso sakhe lesibopho sakhe abophe ngaso umphefumulo wakhe, loyise athule kuye, khona zonke izithembiso zakhe zizakuma, laso sonke isibopho abopha ngaso umphefumulo wakhe sizakuma.
kuthi uyise abesesizwa ngesifungo loba isithembiso sayo kodwa uyise angaze atsho lutho ngalokho kuyo, kutsho ukuthi izinqumo kanye lezithembiso zayo njengokuzethesa kwayo lowomlandu kuzakuma kunjalo.
5 Kodwa uba uyise emenqabela, ngosuku ezwa ngalo, kakuyikuma lesisodwa sezithembiso zakhe lezibopho zakhe abophe ngazo umphefumulo wakhe; leNkosi izamthethelela, ngoba uyise emnqabele.
Kodwa uyise angakuzwa lokho ayalise asikho isifungo lesithembiso sayo esizasebenza; uThixo uzayikhulula leyontombazana ngoba yalelwe nguyise.
6 Uba-ke elendoda sibili, lezithembiso zakhe ziphezu kwakhe, kumbe ilizwi lokungananzeleli lomlomo wakhe, abophe ngalo umphefumulo wakhe,
Nxa ingenda ngemva kokwenza isifungo loba kube ngemva kokuba indebe zayo zike zatsho isithembiso ngokucunuka izethesa icala
7 lendoda yakhe ikuzwa, yathula kuye ngosuku ezwa ngalo, khona izithembiso zakhe zizakuma, lezibopho abophe ngazo umphefumulo wakhe zizakuma.
kuthi indoda yayo ikuzwe lokho kodwa ingatsho lutho kuyo, lokho-ke kutsho ukuthi izifungo zayo loba izithembiso eyazethesa icala ngazo zizakuma zinjalo.
8 Kodwa uba indoda yakhe imenqabela ngosuku ekuzwa ngalo, iyasenza ize isithembiso esiphezu kwakhe, lelizwi lokungananzeleli lomlomo wakhe, abophe ngalo umphefumulo wakhe; leNkosi izamthethelela.
Kodwa nxa umkayo eyalela ekukuzweni kwakhe, kutsho ukuthi umkayo usesuse icala lesifungo loba isithembiso ngokujaha kwayo, ngakho uThixo uzayikhulula.
9 Kodwa isithembiso somfelokazi loba esolahliweyo, konke abophe ngakho umphefumulo wakhe, kuzakuma phezu kwakhe.
Loba yisiphi isifungo loba isithembiso esenziwe ngumfelokazi loba umfazi owehlukana lendoda yakhe kuyisibopho kuye.
10 Uba-ke ethembisile endlini yendoda yakhe, loba ebophe umphefumulo wakhe ngesibopho ngesifungo,
Nxa owesifazane ohlala lomkakhe esenza isinqumo loba ezethesa icala lesithembiso ngesifungo
11 lendoda yakhe izwile, yathula kuye, ingamenqabelanga, khona zonke izithembiso zakhe zizakuma, laso sonke isibopho abophe ngaso umphefumulo wakhe sizakuma.
kuthi indoda yakhe ikuzwe kodwa ingaze yatsho lutho kuye ingamaleli, kutsho ukuthi izifungo zakhe zonke lezithembiso zokuzethesa icala zizakuma zinjalo.
12 Kodwa uba indoda yakhe izenza ize sibili ngosuku izizwa, konke okuphuma endebeni zakhe mayelana lezithembiso zakhe lamayelana lesibopho somphefumulo wakhe kakuyikuma; indoda yakhe izenze ize; leNkosi izamthethelela.
Kodwa indoda yakhe ingakuzwa lokho imalise, kutsho ukuthi akukho isifungo loba isithembiso esivela endebeni zakhe esizakuma njalo. Indoda yakhe isikwalile lokho, ngakho uThixo uzamkhulula.
13 Sonke isithembiso laso sonke isifungo sesibopho ukuthobisa umphefumulo, indoda yakhe ingasiqinisa loba indoda yakhe isenze ize.
Indoda yakhe ilakho ukuqinisa loba ukwala loba yisiphi isifungo azasenza loba yisiphi isifungo sesithembiso sokuzidela kwakhe.
14 Kodwa uba indoda yakhe ithula lokumthulela insuku ngensuku, abeseqinisa zonke izithembiso zakhe kumbe zonke izibopho zakhe eziphezu kwakhe; iyaziqinisa, ngoba yathula kuye ngosuku lokuzwa kwayo.
Kodwa nxa indoda yakhe ingatshongo lutho kuye ngakho okwensuku, kuzakutsho ukuthi iyaziqinisa zonke izifungo loba izithembiso eziyisibopho kowesifazane. Indoda yakhe iyakuqinisa lokho ngokungatsho lutho kuye ekukuzweni kwakhe lokho.
15 Kodwa uba izenza ize sibili emva kokuzwa kwayo, izathwala ububi bakhe.
Kodwa-ke, nxa angakwenqabela ngemva kwesikhathi ezwile ngakho, kutsho ukuthi usethwele icala lakhe.”
16 Lezi yizimiso iNkosi eyamlaya zona uMozisi, phakathi kwendoda lomkayo, phakathi kukayise lendodakazi yakhe ebutsheni bayo emzini kayise.
Le yiyo imithetho eyaphiwa uMosi nguThixo emayelana lokuhlalisana kwendoda lomkayo, njalo phakathi kukayise lendodakazi yakhe esakhulayo elokhu isesezandleni zakhe.
