Ubunqunu bukadadewenu, indodakazi kayihlo loba indodakazi kanyoko, ezelwe ekhaya loba ezelwe ngaphandle, ungembuli ubunqunu babo.

Ungalali laloba yiyiphi inyamazana ukungcola ngayo; futhi owesifazana angemi phambi kwenyamazana ukulala layo; kuyingxube elihlazo.
24 “‘Munngu mo ho fi wɔ saa akwan ahorow yi biara so na eyinom ne nea abosonsomfo yɛ. Esiane sɛ wɔyɛ saa nti, merebeyi wɔn afi asase a morekɔ so no so.
Lingazingcolisi langenye yalezizinto, ngoba ngazo zonke lezizinto izizwe ziyangcoliswa engizixotsha phambi kwenu.
25 Saa ahohwibra no agu ɔman mu no nyinaa ho fi; ɛno nti na meretwe nnipa a wɔte hɔ no aso na mayi wɔn afi asase no so.
Ngalokho ilizwe lingcolile; ngakho ngiphindisela ububi balo phezu kwalo, lelizwe liyabahlanza abahlali balo.
26 Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi me mmara ne mʼahyɛde no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ na ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ saa akyiwade yi mu bi koraa. Saa mmara yi ka mo a wɔwoo mo Israelman mu ne ahɔho a wɔne mo te nyinaa bi.
Ngakho lina lizagcina izimiso zami lezahlulelo zami, lingenzi okwazo zonke lezizinengiso; owokuzalwa elizweni loba owemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwenu.
27 Ampa ara, efisɛ daa nnipa a wɔte saa asase a mede mo rekɔ so no so yɛ saa akyiwade yi nti, asase no ho agu fi.
Ngoba zonke lezizinengiso bazenza abantu balelolizwe ababekhona ngaphambi kwenu, ngakho ilizwe langcola.
28 Monnyɛ saa ade no bi, anyɛ saa a, mɛpam mo afi asase no so sɛnea mɛyɛ wɔn a wɔte hɔ mprempren no.
Ukuze ilizwe lingalihlanzi lapho lilingcolisa, njengalokhu lahlanza isizwe esasikhona ngaphambi kwenu.
29 “‘Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ akyiwade yi mu bi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no asu fi ɔman no mu.
Ngoba wonke owenza okwalezizinengiso, imiphefumulo ekwenzayo izaqunywa isuke ebantwini bayo.
30 Enti monhwɛ sɛ mubedi me mmara no so na monnyɛ saa abusude kɛse yi bi. Monnkɔyɛ abususɛm a wɔn a wɔte asase a morekɔ so no yɛ no bi mmfa ngu mo ho fi. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn.’”
Ngakho lizagcina umlayo wami, ukuze lingenzi okwalezozimiso eziyisinengiso ezenziwa ngaphambi kwenu, ukuthi lingazingcolisi ngazo. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
