Eksodusi 23 Imithetho kwezinye izindaba

¹ Ungasakazi amahemuhemu; ungahlanganisi izandla nomubi ukuba ube ngufakazi ongalungile.

² Ungalandeli isixuku ukwenza okubi; futhi ngeke ukhulume ukwenqaba ngemva kwabaningi ukubhubhisa ukwahlulela.

³ Futhi ungafakazi ompofu ecaleni lakhe.

⁴ Uma uthola inkabi yesitha sakho noma imbongolo yaso izulazula, woyibuyisela nokuyibuyisela kuso;

⁵ Uma ubona imbongolo yenzondo yakho ilele phansi komthwalo wayo futhi ungafuni ukuyisiza, kumelwe uyisize ngempela.

⁶ Ungalichithi ilungelo lompofu wakho ecaleni lakhe.

⁷ Deda endabeni yamanga; futhi ungambulali ongenacala nolungileyo, ngoba ngeke ngithethelele omubi.

⁸ Akumelwe namukele noma yisiphi isipho, ngoba isipho siphuphuthekisa abahlakaniphileyo futhi siphendukezela amazwi olungile.

⁹ Ungamcindezeli umfokazi, ngokuba niyayazi inhliziyo yomfokazi, ngokuba naningabafokazi ezweni laseGibithe.

¹⁰ Kumelwe uhlwanyele izwe lakho iminyaka eyisithupha futhi ubuthe izithelo zalo;

¹¹ Kodwa ngonyaka wesikhombisa kumelwe uwuyeke uphumule futhi uthule; ukuze abampofu babantu bakho badle; futhi ezikushiyayo, kumelwe kudliwe yizilwane zasendle. Kumelwe wenze ngendlela efanayo ngesivini sakho nangeminqumo yakho.

¹² Izinsuku eziyisithupha kumelwe wenze umsebenzi wakho, futhi ngosuku lwesikhombisa kumelwe uphumule, ukuze inkabi yakho nembongolo yakho ziphumule, futhi indodana yesigqilakazi sakho nomfokazi baqabuleke.

¹³ Niqaphele kukho konke enginitshele khona; igama labanye onkulunkulu ningaliphathi, lingazwakala emlonyeni wenu.

¹⁴ Kathathu ngomnyaka ningienzele umkhosi.

¹⁵ Kumelwe ugubhe umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo (izinsuku eziyisikhombisa uyakudla isinkwa esingenamvubelo, njengoba nje ngakuyala, ngesikhathi esimisiwe senyanga ka-Abibi, ngoba waphuma ngayo eGibhithe, futhi akekho oyolala phambi kwami ayiveli).

¹⁶ Nomkhosi wokuvuna, ulibo lwezisebenzi zenu enizihlwanyele ezweni, nomkhosi wokubutha osekupheleni konyaka, lapho nibutha umshikashika wenu ezweni.

¹⁷ Kathathu ngomnyaka bonke abesilisa bakho bayakubonakala phambi kweNkosi uJehova.

¹⁸ Ungalethi igazi lesinkwa sami kanye lesinkwa esivutshelweyo; namanoni omhlatshelo wami akayikusala kuze kuse.

¹⁹ Izibulo lezibulo lezwe lakini wolingenisa endlini kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho. Ungase ungaliboni izinyane obisini lukanina.

²⁰ Bheka, ngiyathuma ingelosi phambi kwakho ukuba ikugcine endleleni, ikuyise endaweni engiyilungisileyo.

²¹ Mnakekele futhi ulalele izwi lakhe, ungamgconi; ngoba kayikuthethelela iziphambeko zenu, ngoba ibizo lami likuyo.

²² Kodwa uba lilalela ilizwi lakhe, lenze konke engikutshoyo; khona ngiyakuba yisitha sezitha zakho, ngibe yisitha sabamelene nawe.

²³ Ngokuba ingelosi yami iyakuhamba phambi kwakho, ikuyise kuma-Amori, namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaKhanani, namaHivi, namaJebusi; futhi ngizobabhubhisa.

²⁴ Ungakhothameli onkulunkulu babo, ungabakhonzi, ungenzi njengemisebenzi yabo; kodwa kumelwe ubashaye ngesiqalekiso esichithayo futhi ubhidlize izithombe zabo ezibaziweyo ngokuphelele.

²⁵ Niyakumkhonza uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, abusise ukudla kwenu namanzi enu; ngiyakususa ukugula phakathi kwakho.

²⁶ Kakuyikulahli amazinyane azo, kumbe oyinyumba elizweni lakini; inani lezinsuku zakho ngiyakuligcwalisa.

²⁷ Ngiyakuthuma ingebhe yami phambi kwakho, ngibulale zonke izizwe oyakufika kuzo, ngenze ukuba zonke izitha zakho zikufulathele.

²⁸ Ngiyakuthuma phambi kwakho imivuvu eyakuxosha amaHivi, namaKhanani, namaHeti phambi kwakho.

²⁹ Kangiyikubaxotsha phambi kwakho ngomnyaka owodwa; funa izwe libe yihlane, izilo zasendle zande phezu kwenu.

³⁰ Ngiyakubaxosha kancane kancane phambi kwakho, uze wande, ulidle izwe.

³¹ Ngizamisa imingcele yakho kusukela eLwandle lweSikefe kusiya eLwandle lwamaFilisti, kusukela enkangala kuze kufike eNayile; ngokuba ngiyakubanikela abakhileyo ezweni esandleni sakho; futhi kumelwe ubaxoshe phambi kwakho.

³² Aniyikwenza isivumelwano nabo noma nawonkulunkulu babo.

³³ Bangahlali ezweni lakini, funa bakwenze wone kimi; ngoba uma ukhonza onkulunkulu babo, kuzakuba lugibe kuwe.
