11 ¹Ngoko mthande uBawo wakho, ugcine izinto azifunayo, nemimiselo yakhe, namasiko akhe, nemithetho yakhe, ngamaxesha onke. ²Yazini namhlanje—andithethi noonyana benu, abangazange baluve, bengazange balubone uqeqesho lukaBawo wenu, ubukhulu bakhe, isandla sakhe esithe nkqi, ingalo yakhe eyolukileyo, ³nemiqondiso yakhe nezenzo zakhe awazenzayo ezweni laseYiputa, kuFaro ukumkani walo, nelizwe lakhe lonke, ⁴awakwenzayo emkhosini waseYiputa, namahashe awo neenqwelo zawo, waluthi phithi ulwandle oluBomvu phezu kwawo xa ayenisukela, waza uBawo wethu wawatshabalalisa unanamhla; ⁵nawakwenzayo kuni entlango, nada nafika kule ndawo; ⁶nawakwenzayo kuDatan noAbhiram, oonyana bakaEliyabhi unyana kaRubhen—xa umhlaba wawuvula umlomo wawo wabaginya, nezindlu zabo, neentente zabo, nayo yonke into ephilileyo ebibalandela, phakathi kwamaSirayeli onke. ⁷Ngokuba amehlo enu ngokwenu abonile wonke umsebenzi omkhulu awenzileyo uBawo wethu.

⁸Wugcine wonke umthetho endiniwisela wona namhlanje, ukuze nomelele, ningene, nilime ilizwe eniwelela kulo ukuba nilime, ⁹ukuze nihlale imihla emininzi kwelo lizwe awafunga ngalo uBawo wethu ukuba uza kulinika ooyihlo nembewu yabo, ilizwe elibaleka amasi nobusi. ¹⁰Kaloku ilizwe eningena kulo ukuba nilime alinjengelizwe laseYiputa enaphuma kulo, apho naninityala khona imbewu yenu, niyinkcenkceshela ngonyawo, njengomyezo wemifuno. ^a a v10 Abalimi baseYiputa babesebenzisa imijelo eqhutywa ngonyawo ukuze bathumele amanzi omlambo iNayile emasimini athe tyaba—into engafaniyo nezinduli zaseKanan ezinkcenkceshelwa yimvula. ¹¹Kodwa ilizwe eniwelela kulo ukuba nilime lineenduli nezihlambo, elisela amanzi emvula yasezulwini. ¹²Lilizwe anonelela ngalo uBawo wakho; amehlo kaBawo wakho asoloko ekulo, kuthabathela ekuqaleni komnyaka kude kuse ekupheleni komnyaka. ¹³Ukuba nithe nayiphulaphula ngenyaniso imithetho endiniwisela yona namhlanje—nimthande uBawo wenu, nimkhonze ngentliziyo yenu yonke nangomphefumlo wenu wonke— ¹⁴ndolinika ilizwe lenu imvula ngexesha layo, eyokuqala neyokugqibela, ukuze nivune ingqolowa yenu, newayini yenu entsha, neoli yenu. ^b b v14 Imvula yokuqala iyana ekwindla ukuze ithambise umhlaba wokuhlwayela; imvula yokugqibela ifika entwasahlobo phambi nje kokuvuna. ¹⁵Ndoninika utyani entsimini yenu ngenxa yeenkomo zenu, nidle nihluthe. ¹⁶Lumkani, ukuze intliziyo yenu ingalukuhlwa, ningasuki niphambuke, nikhonze thixo bambi, nabaqubude, ¹⁷uze uvuthe umsindo kaBawo wethu kuni; alivale izulu—kungabikho mvula, umhlaba ungaveliswa ngeniselo—nikhawuleze nibhubhe kwelo lizwe lihle aninika lona uBawo wethu.

¹⁸Ngoko la mazwi am wabekeni entliziyweni yenu nasemphefumlweni wenu; niwabophe ezandleni zenu abe ngumqondiso, aze abe zizikhumbuzo phakathi kwamehlo enu. ^c c v18 "Izikhumbuzo zebunzi" yayizikhongozelo ezincinane ezaziphethe iinxalenye ezibhaliweyo zeziBhalo, ziboshelelwe ebunzini—isiko eleza kuthiwa kamva kukunxiba iitefilin (ii-phylacteries). Lo mthetho ubonisa ukugcina amazwi kaBawo wethu esoloko ephambi kwamehlo akho. ¹⁹Wafundiseni oonyana benu—nithethe ngawo xa nihleli ezindlwini zenu, naxa nihamba endleleni, nasekulaleni kwenu nasekuvukeni kwenu. ²⁰Wabhaleni emigubasini yezindlu zenu nasemasangweni enu, ²¹ukuze nina noonyana benu nihlale imihla emininzi kwelo lizwe awafunga ngalo uBawo wethu ukuba uza kulinika ooyihlo, logama izulu liphezu komhlaba. ²²Ukuba nithe niwugcina kakuhle wonke lo mthetho endiniwisela wona—ukuthanda uBawo wenu, nokuhamba ngazo zonke iindlela zakhe, nokunamathela kuye, ²³uya kuzigqogqa uBawo wethu zonke ezi ntlanga phambi kwenu, nizihluthe iintlanga ezinkulu ezinamandla kunani. ²⁴Yonke indawo oya kunyathela kuyo unyawo lwenu yoba yeyenu: umda wenu wothabathela entlango neLebhanon, uthabathele eMlanjeni, kumEfrati, use elwandle lwasentshonalanga. ^d d v24 "Ulwandle lwasentshonalanga" luLwandle iMeditera, olwalusecaleni lasentshonalanga kwaSirayeli. ²⁵Akuyi kubakho namnye onokumelana nani; uBawo wenu wozibeka inkwantyiso noloyiko lwenu phezu kwelizwe lonke enilunyathelayo, njengoko wathembisayo.

²⁶Yabonani, ndibeka phambi kwenu namhlanje intsikelelo nesiqalekiso: ²⁷intsikelelo, ukuba nithe nayiphulaphula imithetho kaBawo wenu endiniwisela yona namhlanje; ²⁸nesiqalekiso, ukuba anithanga niphulaphule imithetho kaBawo wenu, nisuke niphambuke kuloo ndlela endiniwisela yona namhlanje, nilandele thixo bambi eningabaziyo. ²⁹Xa uBawo wenu enifikisa kwelo lizwe eningena kulo ukuba nilime, nize niyivakalise intsikelelo entabeni yeGerizim, nesiqalekiso entabeni ye-Ebhali. ³⁰Azikho na phesheya kweYordan, ngasentshonalanga, kwelizwe lamaKanan ahleli eArabha, malungana neGiligali, ngaseMiokini kaMore? ³¹Kaloku niwela iYordan ukuze ningene nilime ilizwe aninika lona uBawo wenu; nolidla, nihlale kulo. ³²Niyigcine ngenyameko yonke imimiselo namasiko endiniwisela wona namhlanje.
