13 ¹Xa kuthe kwavela phakathi kwenu umprofeti okanye umphuphi wamaphupha, waninika umqondiso okanye isimanga, ²waza wenzeke loo mqondiso okanye isimanga abethethe ngaso, esithi: ‘Masilandele thixo bambi eningabazanga, size sibakhonze,’ ³nize ningawaphulaphuli amazwi aloo mprofeti okanye aloo mphuphi wamaphupha. Uyanilinga uBawo wenu, ukuze azi ukuba niyamthanda na uBawo wenu ngentliziyo yenu yonke nangomphefumlo wenu wonke. ⁴Mlandeleni uBawo wenu, nimoyike, nigcine imithetho yakhe, niliphulaphule izwi lakhe, nimkhonze, ninamathele kuye. ⁵Loo mprofeti okanye loo mphuphi wamaphupha wobulawa afe, ngokuba ethethe ukreqo kuBawo wenu, owanikhuphayo eYiputa, wanihlangula endlwini yobukhoboka, ukuze anishenxise endleleni uBawo wenu aniwisele umthetho ngayo ukuba nihambe ngayo. Nibutshayele ke ububi, bungabikho phakathi kwenu.

⁶Xa athe umnakwenu, unyana kanyoko, okanye unyana wakho nokuba yintombi yakho, okanye umkakho olele esifubeni sakho, okanye umhlobo wakho omthanda njengomphefumlo wakho, wakuhenda ngasese, esithi: ‘Masihambe siye kukhonza thixo bambi’—thixo eningabaziyo nina nooyihlo, ⁷koothixo bezizwe eziningqongileyo, ekufuphi nakwikude kuwe, bethabathela esiphelweni somhlaba besa kwesinye isiphelo sawo: ⁸uze ungamvumeli, ungamphulaphuli; ize lingabi nanceba iliso lakho kuye, ungamcongeli, ungamsithi. ⁹Hayi, wombulala afe; isandla sakho sombetha kuqala, kwandule abantu bonke emva koko. ¹⁰Womxuluba ngamatye afe, ngokuba efune ukukushenxisa kuBawo wakho, owakukhuphayo eYiputa, endlwini yobukhoboka. ¹¹Bova onke amaSirayeli, boyike, kungabi saphindwa kwenziwe into embi enjalo phakathi kwenu.

¹²Xa uthe weva kuthethwa ngomnye wemizi yakho akunika yona uBawo wakho ukuba uhlale kuyo, ¹³amatshijolo aphumile phakathi kwenu, abalahlekisa abantu bomzi wawo, esithi: ‘Masihambe siye kukhonza thixo bambi eningabazanga,’ ¹⁴uze ufuna, uphengulule, ubuze ngenyameko. Ukuba kuyinyaniso, kuqinisekile ukuba le nto ilisikizi yenziwa phakathi kwenu, ¹⁵woyibulala yonke into yabemi baloo mzi ngohlangothi lwekrele, uwutshabalalise uphele—nako konke okukhoyo kuwo neenkomo zawo—ngohlangothi lwekrele. ¹⁶Uhlanganisele onke amaxhoba awo phakathi kwendawo yawo ebanzi, uwutshise umzi namaxhoba awo onke ngomlilo ube lidini elinyukayo elipheleleyo kuBawo wakho. Woba linxuwa ngonaphakade, ungabi sakhiwa. ¹⁷Makungabikho nento esingelwe phantsi enamathela esandleni sakho, ukuze uBawo wakho abuye ekuvutheni komsindo wakhe, akunike imfesane, abe nenceba kuwe, akwandise, njengoko wafunga kooyihlo, ¹⁸ukuba uthe waliphulaphula izwi likaBawo wakho, wagcina yonke imithetho yakhe endikuwisela ngayo namhla, usenza okuthe tye emehlweni kaBawo wakho.
