23 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi, watsi: 2 “Khuluma nema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Imikhosi+ yaJehova latsi niboyigubha itawuba yimibutsano lengcwele. Ngako kufanele niyimemetele.+ Nayi lemikhosi:

3 “‘Ningasebenta emalanga lasitfupha, kodvwa lilanga lesi-7 lilisabatha lenitawuphumula ngalo,+ futsi litawuba ngumbutsano longcwele. Akukafaneli nisebente sanhlobo ngalelolanga. Litawuba lisabatha laJehova kuto tonkhe tindzawo lenitawuhlala kuto.+

4 “‘Nayi-ke lemikhosi yaJehova, letawuba yimibutsano lengcwele futsi lokufanele niyimemetele ngetikhatsi tayo: 5 Ngelilanga lesi-14 lenyanga yekucala,+ nitawugubha liPhasika+ laJehova kusengakahlwi.*

6 “‘Ngelilanga lesi-15 laleyo nyanga, kutawuba neMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesite Imvubelo lowentelwa Jehova.+ Kufanele nidle sinkhwa lesite imvubelo emalanga langu-7.+ 7 Ngelilanga lekucala nitawuba nembutsano longcwele.+ Akukafaneli nente umsebenti lomatima ngalelolanga. 8 Kulamalanga langu-7 nitawuletsa umnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova. Kutawuba nembutsano longcwele ngelilanga lesi-7, futsi akukafaneli nente umsebenti lomatima ngalelolanga.’”

9 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi watsi: 10 “Tjela ema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Nasenifikile eveni lengininika lona futsi senivune naloko benikulimile, kufanele niletse kumphristi+ sitfungo sesivuno senu sekucala.+ 11 Umphristi utawujikitisa lesitfungo embikwaJehova kuze nemukeleke kuNkulunkulu. Kufanele asijikitise ngelilanga lelilandzela liSabatha. 12 Ngalelilanga lokutawujikitiswa ngalo lesitfungo, nibonikela ngemvu lendvuna lephile kahle lenemnyaka munye, ibe ngumnikelo wekushiswa kuJehova. 13 Kanye nalomnikelo wekushiswa, nitawunikela ngemnikelo walokutinhlavu, ube ngufulaha locolisakele logcwele esikoteleni lesingemalitha langaba sihlanu* lobhicwe nemafutsa, futsi ube ngumnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova, loliphunga lelimnandzi.* Umnikelo walokunatfwako lenitawunikela nalemvu kufanele ube yilitha* yeliwayini. 14 Kufanele ningasidli sinkhwa, nobe lokutinhlavu lokugayingiwe, nobe lokutinhlavu lokusandza kuvunwa kuze kube ngulelilanga, lapho nitawuletsa khona umnikelo waNkulunkulu wenu. Lona ngumtsetfo lotawuhlala njalo kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu nakuto tonkhe tindzawo lapho nitawuhlala khona.

15 “‘Nibobala emasabatha* langu-7 kusukela ngelilanga lelilandzela liSabatha, lokulilanga leniletse ngalo sitfungo lesentiwe umnikelo lojikitiswako.+ Lawa kufanele kube ngemaviki lagcwele. 16 Ngako nitawubala emalanga langu-50+ kuze kube lilanga lelilandzela liSabatha lesi-7. Ngemuva kwaloko kufanele niletse lomunye umnikelo walokutinhlavu kuJehova.+ 17 Etindlini tenu nibotsatsa tinkhwa letimbili letitawuba ngumnikelo lojikitiswako. Kufanele tentiwe ngafulaha locolisakele logcwele esikoteleni lesingemalitha langaba sihlanu,* futsi tibe nemvubelo.+ Letinkhwa titawuba ngumnikelo wesivuno sekucala lowentelwa Jehova.+ 18 Naniletsa letinkhwa, niboletsa netimvu letindvuna letingu-7 letiphile kahle futsi letinemnyaka munye, niletse nenkunzana kanye netimvu letindvuna letimbili.+ Letilwane titawuba ngumnikelo wekushiswa loya kuJehova tihambisane nemnikelo walokutinhlavu nemnikelo walokunatfwako, tibe ngumnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo naloliphunga lelimnandzi* kuJehova. 19 Niboletsa nembuti leseyincane letawuba ngumnikelo wesono+ kanye netimvu letindvuna letimbili letinemnyaka munye, letitawuba ngumhlatjelo wekuthula.+ 20 Umphristi utawujikitisa letimvu kanye naletinkhwa letingumnikelo wesivuno sekucala, tibe ngumnikelo lojikitiswako embikwaJehova. Titawuba ngcwele kuJehova futsi tibe temphristi.+ 21 Ngalelolanga nitawumemetela+ umbutsano longcwele, futsi kute nemsebenti lomatima lokufanele niwente ngalelolanga. Lona ngumtsetfo lotawuhlala njalo kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu nakuto tonkhe tindzawo lapho nitawuhlala khona.

22 “‘Nanivuna emasimu enu, ningabokuvuna konkhe lokusemaphetselweni awo, ningakubutsi naloko lokusele nanivuna.+ Kufanele nikushiyele bantfu labeswele*+ kanye netihambi.+ NginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.’”

23 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi, watsi: 24 “Tjela ema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Ngelilanga lekucala lenyanga yesi-7, kutawuba lilanga lekuphumula, futsi litawumenyetelwa ngekushaywa kwelicilongo,+ kube ngumbutsano longcwele. 25 Kute umsebenti lomatima lokufanele niwente ngalelolanga, futsi nitawuletsa umnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova.’”

26 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi, watsi: 27 “Ngelilanga lesi-10 kulenyanga yesi-7 kutawuba Lilanga Lekubuyisana NaNkulunkulu.+ Nitawuba nembutsano longcwele futsi kufanele nikhombise kutsi niva buhlungu* ngenca yetono tenu,+ niletse nemnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova. 28 Kute umsebenti lokufanele niwente ngalelolanga, ngobe leli lilanga umphristi lenta ngalo kutsi nibuyisane+ naJehova Nkulunkulu wenu. 29 Ngalelolanga, nobe ngubani* longeke akhombise kutsi uva buhlungu* ngenca yetono takhe kufanele abulawe.+ 30 Wonkhe umuntfu lotawusebenta ngalelolanga ngitambhubhisa kubantfu bakubo. 31 Ngako kute umsebenti lokufanele niwente. Lona ngumtsetfo lotawuhlala njalo kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu nakuto tonkhe tindzawo lapho nitawuhlala khona. 32 Leli liSabatha futsi akukafaneli nisebente sanhlobo. Kusihlwa ngelilanga lesi-9 kuleyo nyanga, kufanele nikhombise kutsi niva buhlungu ngenca yetono tenu.+ Nitawugcina lisabatha kusukela kusihlwa ngalelolanga kuze kube kukusihlwa ngelilanga lelilandzelako.”

33 Jehova wachubeka akhuluma naMosi watsi: 34 “Khuluma nema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Ngelilanga lesi-15 kulenyanga yesi-7 kutawuba neMkhosi Wemadlangala* lowentelwa Jehova. Lomkhosi utawutsatsa emalanga langu-7.+ 35 Kutawuba nembutsano longcwele ngelilanga lekucala futsi kute umsebenti lomatima lokufanele niwente. 36 Kulamalanga langu-7 nitawuletsa umnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova. Ngelilanga lesi-8 kufanele nibe nembutsano longcwele,+ niletse nemnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova. Lona kutawuba ngumbutsano lokhetsekile. Kute umsebenti lomatima lokufanele niwente ngalelolanga.

37 “‘Lena ngulemikhosi+ yaJehova letawuba yimibutsano lengcwele nalokufanele niyimemetele,+ kuze kuletfwe umnikelo lowentiwa ngemlilo kuJehova,+ lokungumnikelo wekushiswa nemnikelo walokutinhlavu+ lohambisana nawo, kanye nemnikelo walokunatfwako,+ kuye ngaloko lokudzingekako ngalelolanga. 38 Lena nguleminye iminikelo lenitayenta ngetulu kwaleyo leniyentela Jehova ngeliSabatha,+ nangetulu kwetipho lenitentako,+ neminikelo yekufunga+ neminikelo yekutitsandzela,+ lokufanele niyentele Jehova. 39 Ngelilanga lesi-15 enyangeni yesi-7, nasenibutse sivuno semasimu enu, kufanele nigubhe umkhosi waJehova emalanga langu-7.+ Ngelilanga lekucala nelesi-8 akukafaneli nisebente sanhlobo.+ 40 Ngelilanga lekucala nitawutsatsa titselo tetihlahla letinhle, emagala etihlahla telusundvu,+ emagala etihlahla letinemacembe lamanyenti kanye newetihlahla* tasesihosheni, futsi kufanele nijabule+ embikwaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu emalanga langu-7.+ 41 Umnyaka ngamunye, lomkhosi waJehova nitawugubha emalanga langu-7.+ Kufanele niwugubhe ngenyanga yesi-7, futsi lona ngumtsetfo lotawuhlala njalo kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu. 42 Kufanele nihlale emadlangaleni emalanga langu-7.+ Onkhe ema-Israyeli kufanele ahlale khona, 43 kuze titukulwane letitako titewukwati+ kutsi ngahlalisa ema-Israyeli emadlangaleni ngesikhatsi ngiwakhipha eveni laseGibhithe.+ NginguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.’”

44 Ngako Mosi watjela ema-Israyeli ngalemikhosi yaJehova.
