Oothixo baseBhabhilon kufuneka barhuqwe ngeenqwelo zizilwanyana ezidiniweyo, bengenako ukuzisindisa. Ngokuchasene naloo mfanekiso uBawo wethu uthi uye wamthwala uSirayeli ukususela phambi kokuzalwa, aze asathwale nasebudaleni obunezimvi. Isithixo ngumthwalo; yena nguye othwalayo.
46 1UBheli uyaqubuda, uNebho uyathoba; izithixo zabo zithwaliswe amarhamncwa neenkomo. Izinto enizithwalayo ziphakanyisiwe, zingumthwalo kwizilwanyana ezidiniweyo. a a v1 UBheli noNebho ngoothixo abaziintloko baseBhabheli; lo mbono ufanekisa imifanekiso yabo ithwaliswa iinqwelo lakuwa loo mzi. 2Bathoba kunye, baqubuda; abanakuzisindisa, baze bahambe baye ekuthinjweni.
3“Ndiphulaphuleni, ndlu kaYakobi, nina masalela onke endlu kaSirayeli—nina bendanithwala kwasengaphambi kokuzalwa kwenu, ndaniphakamisa kwasesizalweni. 4Kwanasebudaleni benu ndinguye, nasezimvini zenu ndonithwala. Ndanenza mna, yaye ndoninyamezela; ndonithwala ndize ndinihlangule. b b v4 Ngokungafaniyo nezithixo ekufuneka zithwalwe ngabanquli bazo, uBawo wethu uthwala abantwana bakhe — ethabathela esizalweni ebudaleni, akaze ababeke phantsi.
5“Niya kundifanisa nabani, okanye nindilinganise nabani? Niya kundifanekisa nabani, ukuze sifane? 6Inxenye ikhupha igolide engxoweni, balinganise isilivere esikalini; baqeshe ingcibi yegolide, ize iyenze ube nguthixo—baze baqubude, ewe, bawunqule. 7Bawuphakamise emagxeni abo bawuthwale; bawumise endaweni yawo, ume khona apho—awushukumi endaweni yawo. Ukuba umntu uthe wakhala kuwo, awunakuphendula, awunakumsindisa enkathazweni lakhe.
8“Khumbula oku ume uqine; kubeke entliziyweni, nina baneenkani. 9Khumbulani izinto zangaphambili ezadlulayo, kuba ndinguBawo wenu, akukho wumbi; ndinguBawo wenu, akukho onjengam. 10Ndixela isiphelo ndisekuqaleni, nakwasemandulo izinto ezingekehli, ndisithi: ‘Ingqibo yam iya kuma, ndiya kukwenza konke endikunanzayo.’ 11Ndibiza ixhalanga livela empumalanga, indoda ezalisekisa ingqibo yam ivela kwilizwe elikude. Oko ndikuthethileyo, ndiya kukuzisa; oko ndikucebileyo, ndiya kukwenza. c c v11 Ixhalanga elivela empumalanga nguKoreshi wasePersi, owoyisa iBhabheli waza wabakhulula abantu bakaThixo.
12“Ndiphulaphuleni, nina baneenkani ngentliziyo, nina bakude nobulungisa: 13Ndibusondeza ubulungisa bam—abukho kude—nosindiso lwam aluyi kulibazisa. Ndiya kunika usindiso eZiyon, ubungangamela bam kuSirayeli.”
