UBawo wethu uthembekile, akenzi bugwenxa; ulungile, uthe tye. ⁵Benze inkohlakalo kuye; abasengabo oonyana bakhe, koko baliphazamo—isizukulwana esigwenxa nesijibilizayo. ⁶Nibuyekeza ngolu hlobo na uBawo wethu, nina bantu baziziyatha nabangenangqondo? Akanguye na uYihlo, owanidalayo, owaninzayo waza waninzinzisa? ^a a v6 Apha iNgoma ikutsho kucace: uBawo wethu nguye owadala uSirayeli, wamenza, waza wamzinzisa — intliziyo yoko abesoloko eyiyo koonyana bakhe. ⁷Khumbulani imihla yamandulo; nicamange ngeminyaka yezizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Buzani kuyihlo, uya kunixelela, kumadoda enu amakhulu, aya kunicacisela. ⁸Xa uPhezukonke, uBawo wethu, wazinika iintlanga ilifa lazo, akuba ebahlula abantu, wayimisa imida yezizwe ngokwenani loonyana bakaSirayeli. ⁹Kuba isabelo sikaBawo wethu ngabantu bakhe, uYakobi lilifa lakhe elabelweyo. ¹⁰Wamfumana kwilizwe eliyintlango, encwadini elilphang' ekruqukayo yasentlango; wamjikeleza, wamnonophela, wamgcina njengokhozi lweliso lakhe. ¹¹Njengokhozi oluvuselela indlu yalo, olubhabha phezu kwamathole alo, wawolula amaphiko akhe wababamba, ebathwele phezu kwamaphiko akhe. ¹²UBawo wethu yedwa wamkhokela, kwaye kwakungekho thixo wasemzini naye. ¹³Wammisa phezu kwemimango yelizwe, wadla iziqhamo zomhlaba; wamondla ngobusi obuphuma eliweni, nangeoli ephuma engxondorheni elilitye. ¹⁴Amasi enkomo nobisi lwempahla emfutshane, ndawonye namanqatha eemvana, iinkunzi zezimvu zaseBhashan neebhokhwe, kunye nezinconywayo zengqolowa—waza wasela iwayini ephuphumayo yegazi lediliya. ¹⁵Kodwa uYeshurun watyeba waza wakhaba— watyeba, wadumba, waba butyebi—wandula wamshiya uBawo wethu owamenzayo, walidela iLiwa losindiso lwakhe. ^b b v15 UYeshurun ligama lesibongo likaSirayeli, elithetha "lowo uthe tye." ¹⁶Bamvuselela ubukhwele ngoothixo basemzini; bamqumbisa ngamasikizi. ¹⁷Babingelela kwiidemon ezingenguThixo, koothixo ababengazanga babazi, oothixo abatsha abavele kutshanje, ababengazange banxunguphale ngabo ooyihlo. ¹⁸Walityeshela iLiwa elakuzalayo, waza wamlibala uBawo wethu owakuzalayo. ¹⁹UBawo wethu wakubona oko wabacekisa, ngenxa yokumqumbisa koonyana bakhe neentombi zakhe.

²⁰Wathi: “Ndiya kubusithelisa ubuso bam kubo; ndibone okuya kubehlela, kuba basisizukulwana esigwenxa, abantwana abangenanyaniso.

²¹“Bandikhweletisa ngento engenguthixo; bandiqumbisa ngezithixo zabo ezingento. Nam ke ndiya kubakhweletisa ngabo bangengobantu; ndibaqumbise ngohlanga olusisidenge. ²²Kuba umsindo wam uphembe umlilo ovutha use ezinzulwini zelabafileyo; udla ihlabathi nemveliso yalo, utshise iziseko zeentaba. ²³Ndiya kubafumbela ububi phezu kwabo; ndiziphelise iintolo zam kubo. ²⁴Bephelelwe ngamandla yindlala, bedliwe sisibetho esivuthayo nentshabalalo ekrakra; ndithumele amazinyo amarhamncwa kubo, nobuhlungu bezinto ezinambuzelayo eluthulini. ²⁵Ngaphandle ikrele liya kubulala, nangaphakathi unkwantyiso—kumfana nasentombini ngokufanayo, usana olusanyayo nengwevu enezimvi. ²⁶Ngendithe: ‘Ndiya kubaqwenga; ndisicime isikhumbuzo sabo phakathi kwabantu,’ ²⁷koko ndasoyika intlekiso yotshaba, hleze abachasi babo baphazame, bathi: ‘Isandla sethu sinqobile; akunguThixo owenze konke oku.’ ²⁸Kuba baluhlanga olungenabulumko, kungekho ngqondo kubo. ²⁹Akwaba bebelumkile, ngebekuqonda oku; ngebesibona isiphelo sabo. ³⁰Angasukela njani na omnye iwaka, ababini babhacise ishumi lamawaka, ngaphandle kokuba iLiwa labo belibathengisile, uBawo wethu wabanikela? ³¹Kuba iliwa labo alinjengeLiwa lethu; kwaneentshaba zethu ziyakuvuma oku. ³²Kuba umdiliya wabo uvela kumdiliya waseSodom, nasemasimini aseGomora; iidiliya zabo ziidiliya zobuhlungu, izihloko zabo zimuncu. ³³Iwayini yabo bubuhlungu beenyoka, netyhefu enobungcwangu yamaphimpi.

³⁴“Oku akubekwanga na kum, kutywiniwe ebuncwaneni bam? ³⁵Impindezelo nembuyekezo zezam, ngexesha lokutyibilika konyawo lwabo; kuba imini yentlekele yabo isondele, nesiphelo sabo singxamele ukubafikela. ³⁶Kuba uBawo wethu uya kubagwebela abantu bakhe, abe nemfesane ngabakhonzi bakhe, akubona ukuba amandla abo aphelile, kungasekho namnye oseleyo, nokuba likhoboka nokuba likhululekileyo. ³⁷Uya kuthi: ‘Baphi na oothixo babo, iliwa ababezimela ngalo, ³⁸ababesidla amanqatha emibingelelo yabo, besela iwayini yomnikelo wabo othululwayo? Mabavuke banincede nina; mababe sisikhuselo senu!’ ³⁹Bonani—ndim yena, kungekho thixo wumbi ngaphandle kwam. Ndibulale, ndidlise ubomi; ndiyenzakalisa, ndiphilise; kungekho namnye onokuhlangula esandleni sam. ⁴⁰Kuba ndiphakamisela isandla sam ezulwini, ndithi: Njengokuba ndidla ubomi ngonaphakade, ⁴¹xa ndilola ikrele lam elibengezelayo, nesandla sam sibamba isigwebo, ndozibuyekeza iintshaba zam, ndibaphindezele abandithiyayo. ⁴²ndoziseza igazi iintolo zam, nekrele lam lodla inyama, igazi labahlatyiweyo nabathinjwa, iintloko ezineenwele ezinde zotshaba.”

⁴³Vuyani, zizwe, nabantu bakhe, ngokuba uya kuliphindezela igazi labantwana bakhe, azibuyekeze iintshaba zakhe; wolicamagushela ilizwe lakhe nabantu bakhe.

⁴⁴Wafika uMoses, wawavakalisa onke amazwi ale ngoma ebantwini, yena noYoshuwa unyana kaNun. ⁴⁵Wathi uMoses akugqiba ukuwathetha onke la mazwi kuwo onke amaSirayeli,

⁴⁶wathi kubo: “Zibekeleni entliziyweni onke la mazwi endiningqinela ngawo namhlanje, ukuze nibawisele umthetho oonyana benu bawagcine, bawenze onke amazwi alo myalelo. ⁴⁷Kaloku asilizwi elingento kuni, lusuke lube bubomi benu. Ngeli lizwi niya kuyolula imihla yenu kwelo zwe niwela iYordan ukuba nilime.”

UBawo wethu Umbizela Ekhaya uMoses

⁴⁸Ngayo kanye loo mini wathetha uBawo wethu kuMoses, esithi:

⁴⁹“Nyuka uye kule ntaba yeAbharim, intaba yeNebho, ekwelakwaMowabhi, ekhangelene neYeriko, ulibone ilizwe lamaKanan, endilinika oonyana bakaSirayeli ukuba balime. ⁵⁰Wandule ufele kuloo ntaba uyinyukayo, uhlanganiselwe ebantwini bakowenu, njengokuba wafayo uAron umnakwenu entabeni yeHore, wahlanganiselwa ebantwini bakowabo, ⁵¹ngenxa yokuba nandinganyanisekanga phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli emanzini aseMeribha-Kadeshe entlango yeTsin, ngenxa yokuba naningandingcwalisanga phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli. ⁵²Ngokuba ilizwe wolibona ngaphesheya, kodwa ungangeni kulo, elo lizwe ndilinike oonyana bakaSirayeli.”
