UHlaziyo-mnqophiso 5 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

5 ¹UMoses wawabiza onke amaSirayeli, wathi kuwo: “Phulaphula, Sirayeli, imimiselo namasiko endiwathethayo ezindlebeni zenu namhla. Niwafunde niwenze ngenyameko.” ²UBawo wethu wenza umnqophiso nathi eHorebhe. ³Lo mnqophiso uBawo wethu akawenzanga noobawo bethu, wawenza nathi, thina sonke esiphilileyo apha namhla. ⁴UBawo wethu wathetha nani ubuso ngobuso entabeni, ephakathi komlilo.

⁵Ngelo xesha ndema phakathi koBawo wethu nani, ukuze ndinixelele ilizwi likaBawo wethu, ngokuba nawoyika umlilo, aninyukanga entabeni. Wathi:

⁶“NdinguBawo wakho, owakukhupha eYiputa, indlu yobukhoboka.

⁷“Uze ungabi nabanye oothixo phambi kwam.

⁸“Uze ungazenzeli umfanekiso oqingqiweyo, nokuba yimbonakalo yantoni na esezulwini phezulu, nesemhlabeni phantsi, nesemanzini phantsi komhlaba. ⁹Uze ungaqubudi kuyo, ungazikhonzi, ngokuba mna, uBawo wakho, ndinguBawo onekhwele, ovelela ukungalungisi kooyise koonyana, kwesesithathu nakwesesine isizukulwana sabandithiyayo, ¹⁰kodwa ndiwenzela inceba amawaka ezizukulwana abandithandayo, abayigcinayo imithetho yam.

¹¹“Uze ungaliphatheli ngelize igama likaBawo wakho, ngokuba uBawo wethu akayi kumenza omsulwa lowo uliphatha ngelize igama lakhe.

¹²“Gcina umhla wesabatha, ukuba uwungcwalise, njengoko uBawo wakho akuwisele umthetho. ¹³Wosebenza imihla emithandathu, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho, ¹⁴kodwa umhla wesixhenxe uyisabatha kaBawo wakho. Uze ungenzi msebenzi—wena, nonyana wakho, nentombi yakho, nesicaka sakho, nesicakakazi sakho, nenkomo yakho, ne-esile lakho, nayo yonke imfuyo yakho, nowasemzini osemizini yakho—ukuze isicaka sakho nesicakakazi sakho siphumle njengawe. ¹⁵Uze ukhumbule ukuba wawulikhoboka eYiputa, waza uBawo wakho wakukhupha khona ngesandla esithe nkqi nangengalo eyolukileyo. Ngenxa yoko uBawo wakho wakuwisela umthetho wokuba uwugcine umhla wesabatha.

¹⁶“Beka uyihlo nonyoko, njengoko uBawo wakho akuwisele umthetho, ukuze yolulwe imihla yakho, kulunge kuwe ezweni akunikayo uBawo wakho.

¹⁷“Uze ungabulali.

¹⁸“Uze ungakrexezi.

¹⁹“Uze ungebi.

²⁰“Uze ungangqini ubungqina obubuxoki ngommelwane wakho.

²¹“Uze ungamnqweneli umfazi wommelwane wakho. Kananjalo uze ungayinqweneli indlu yakhe, nentsimi yakhe, kwanesicakakazi nesicaka sakhe, kwaneenkomo nee-esile zakhe, kungenjalo nayiphi na into eyeyakhe.”

²²La mazwi uBawo wethu wawathetha kwesikhungu senu sonke entabeni, ephakathi komlilo, nelifu, nesithokothoko sobumnyama, ngezwi elikhulu; akongeza nto. Wawabhala emacwecweni amabini amatye, wawanika mna. ²³Nathi nakuliva izwi liphuma ebumnyameni, intaba isitsha ngumlilo, nasondela kum—zonke iintloko zezizwe zenu namadoda enu amakhulu,

²⁴nathi: “Yabona, uBawo wethu usibonise uzuko lwakhe nobukhulu bakhe; silivile izwi lakhe liphuma emlilweni. Namhla sibonile ukuba uBawo wethu angathetha nomntu, aze loo mntu adle ubomi. ²⁵Ngoku kutheni na siya kufa? Lo mlilo mkhulu uya kusidla. Ukuba siya kuhlala sisiva izwi likaBawo wethu, siya kufa. ²⁶Ngubani na kuyo yonke inyama oseve izwi likaBawo ophilileyo lithetha liphuma phakathi komlilo, njengathi, waza wadla ubomi? ²⁷Sondela, uve konke akuthethayo uBawo wethu, uze usixelele konke akuxelelayo uBawo wethu, size siphulaphule, sithobele.”

²⁸UBawo wethu waweva amazwi enu enawathetha kum, waza uBawo wethu wathi kum: “Ndiwavile amazwi aba bantu abawathethe kuwe. Konke abakuthethileyo kuthe tye. ²⁹Akwaba babeyigcinile le ntliziyo—bendoyika, begcina yonke imithetho yam ngamaxesha onke—ukuze kulunge kubo nakoonyana babo ngonaphakade! ³⁰Hamba uye uthi kubo: ‘Buyelani ezintenteni zenu.’ ³¹Ke wena, yima apha nam, ndikuxelele wonke umthetho—imimiselo namasiko—omawubafundise wona, ukuze bawenze ezweni endibanika lona ukuba balime.”

³²Ngoko zigcineni nenze njengoko uBawo wenu aniwisele umthetho; ningatyeki ngasekunene nangasekhohlo. ³³Hambani ngayo yonke indlela aniwisele umthetho ngayo uBawo wenu, ukuze niphile, niphumelele, nibe nemihla emide ezweni eniya kulidla ilifa.
