12 ¹Yiyo le imimiselo namasiko eniya kuyigcina niyenze ngenyameko ezweni aninikileyo uBawo wethu, uThixo wooyihlo, ukuba nilidle ilifa, yonke imihla eniphila ngayo emhlabeni. ²Nozitshabalalisa zonke iindawo apho zazibakhonzela khona oothixo bazo izizwe enizigqogqayo—phezu kweentaba eziphakamileyo, nasezindulini, naphantsi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza. ³Nozichitha izibingelelo zazo, nizaphule izimiso zazo zamatye, niyitshise ngomlilo imithi yooAshera bazo; niyigawule imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yoothixo bazo, nilicime igama lazo kuloo ndawo. ^a a v3 OoAshera babeziinto zonqulo ezikroliweyo zemithi ezanikezelwa kuthixokazi wamaKanan uAshera, ezazimiswa kwiindawo zonqulo lobuhedeni. ⁴Uze ungamnquli ngaloo ndlela uBawo wethu. ⁵Endaweni yoko, funani indawo aya kuyinyula uBawo wethu kuzo zonke izizwe zenu ukuba alibeke kuyo igama lakhe, enze ikhaya lakhe khona; nize niye khona. ⁶Nize nizise khona amadini enu anyukayo nemibingelelo yenu, isishumi senu nomrhumo wesandla senu, izibhambathiso zenu neminikelo yenu yokuqhutywa yintliziyo, kwakunye namazibulo eenkomo neempahla yenu emfutshane. ⁷Khona apho, phambi koBawo wethu, niya kudla nibe nemihlali, nina nezindlu zenu, ngako konke enikubeka isandla, ngokuba uBawo wethu enisikelele. ⁸Nize ningenzi njengoko senza ngako apha namhla, elowo esenza oko kulungileyo emehlweni akhe. ⁹Kuba anikafiki ekuphumleni naselifeni aninika lona uBawo wethu. ¹⁰Kodwa xa nithe nayiwela iYordan, nahlala ezweni aninikayo uBawo wethu ukuba nilidle ilifa, waza waninika ukuphumla kwiintshaba zenu zonke eziningqongileyo, nahlala nikholosile, ¹¹nize kuloo ndawo aya kuyinyula uBawo wethu ukuba alibeke kuyo igama lakhe, nizise konke endiniwisela umthetho ngako: amadini enu anyukayo nemibingelelo yenu, isishumi senu nomrhumo wesandla senu, nazo zonke izibhambathiso zenu ezihle enizibhambathisa kuBawo wethu. ¹²Nibe nemihlali phambi koBawo wethu—nina noonyana benu neentombi zenu, nabakhonzi benu abangamadoda nabangabafazi, nomLevi osemasangweni enu, ngokuba engenasabelo nalifa ndawonye nani. ¹³Zigcineni ningawanyusi amadini enu anyukayo kuzo zonke iindawo enizibonayo, ¹⁴kodwa kuloo ndawo kuphela aya kuyinyula uBawo wethu, kwesinye sezizwe zenu; apho ke ninyuse amadini enu anyukayo, apho nenze konke endiniwisela umthetho ngako.

¹⁵Noko ningaxhela nidle inyama kuyo yonke imizi yenu, nokuba yintoni eniyinqwenelayo, ngokwentsikelelo aninike yona uBawo wethu. Oyinqambi nohlambulukileyo bofana ukuyidla, into enjengebhadi nenjengexhama. ¹⁶Kodwa igazi nize ningalidli; nolithulula emhlabeni njengamanzi. ¹⁷Aniyi kudla emasangweni enu isishumi sengqolowa yenu, nesewayini yenu entsha, neseoli yenu, namazibulo eenkomo zenu nawempahla yenu emfutshane, nazo zonke izibhambathiso zenu, neminikelo yenu yokuqhutywa yintliziyo, nomrhumo wesandla senu, ¹⁸koko nowadlela phambi koBawo wethu kuloo ndawo aya kuyinyula—nina nonyana wenu nentombi yenu, nomkhonzi wenu nomkhonzazana wenu, nomLevi osemasangweni enu; nibe nemihlali phambi kwakhe ngako konke enikwenzayo. ¹⁹Zigcineni ningamlibali umLevi lonke ixesha enihleli ngalo ezweni lenu.

²⁰Xa athe uBawo wethu wawenza banzi umda wenu njengoko wathethayo kuni, naza nathi: “Ndiya kudla inyama,” ngokuba umphefumlo wenu unqwenela inyama, ningayidla inyama ngokunqwena komphefumlo wenu. ²¹Ukuba loo ndawo aya kuyinyula uBawo wethu ukuba alibeke kuyo igama lakhe ikude kakhulu kuni, ningaxhela kwiinkomo nakwimpahla emfutshane aninikileyo uBawo wethu, njengoko ndaniwisela umthetho, nidle emasangweni enu ngokunqwena komphefumlo wenu. ²²Njengoko kudliwa ibhadi nexhama, ngokunjalo niya kuyidla; oyinqambi nohlambulukileyo bofana ukuyidla. ²³Kodwa yomelelani kunene ningalidli igazi, kuba igazi bubomi; ize ningadli ubomi kunye nenyama. ²⁴Nize ningalidli; nolithulula emhlabeni njengamanzi. ²⁵Nize ningalidli, ukuze kulunge kuni nakubantwana benu emva kwenu, xa nisenza oko kulungileyo emehlweni kaBawo wethu. ²⁶Kodwa izinto zenu ezingcwele nezibhambathiso zenu nize niyise kuloo ndawo aya kuyinyula uBawo wethu. ²⁷Nize ninyuse amadini enu anyukayo—inyama negazi—esibingelelweni sikaBawo wethu. Igazi lemibingelelo yenu nolithulula ecaleni lesibingelelo sikaBawo wethu, nidle inyama. ²⁸Nigcine ngenyameko ukuwenza onke la mazwi endiniwisela umthetho ngawo, ukuze kulunge kuni nakubantwana benu emva kwenu ngonaphakade, xa nisenza oko kulungileyo nokuthe tye emehlweni kaBawo wethu.

²⁹Xa athe uBawo wethu wazinqumla phambi kwenu iintlanga eniya kuzigqogqa, naza nazigqogqa, nahlala ezweni lazo, ³⁰zigcineni ningabanjwa ningene ekulandeleni iindlela zazo emva kokuba zitshabalalisiwe phambi kwenu, ningabuzi ngoothixo bazo nisithi: “Zazibakhonza njani ezi ntlanga oothixo bazo? Nam ndiya kwenjenjalo.” ³¹Uze ungamnquli ngaloo ndlela uBawo wethu, kuba zona zazisenzela oothixo bazo yonke into eyisikizi ayithiyileyo uBawo wethu—bade batshise oonyana bazo neentombi zabo ngomlilo koothixo bazo. ³²Zigcineni nenze konke endiniwisela umthetho ngako; ningongezi nto kuko, ningasusi nto kuko.
