5 Kodwa kumele limdinge uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu loba ngaphi lapho azakhetha ukuthi ibizo lakhe lihlale khona, endaweni yakhe yokuhlala phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zenu futhi yikho okumele liyekhona.+ 6 Endaweni leyo yikho okufanele lilethe khona iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa,+ lemihlatshelo yenu, leminikelo yenu yokwetshumi,+ leminikelo evela esandleni senu,+ leminikelo yenu yezifungo, leminikelo yenu yokuzithandela+ kanye lamazibulo emihlambi yenu yenkomo leyezimvu leyembuzi.+
