Lesilwane lesingumnikelo weliPhasika nibonikela ngaso kusihlwa, ngekushesha nje nakushona lilanga,+ ngesikhatsi lenaphuma ngaso eGibhithe. 7 Nibosipheka futsi nisidlele+ kulendzawo Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu latayikhetsa,+ bese ekuseni nibuyela emathendeni enu. 8 Kufanele nidle sinkhwa lesite imvubelo emalanga lasitfupha, bese kutsi ngelilanga lesi-7 kube nembutsano lokhetsekile leniwentela Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu. Akukafaneli nisebente ngalelolanga.+
9 “Nibobala emaviki langu-7. Lamaviki nibocala kuwabala ngesikhatsi lenicala ngaso kuvuna lokutinhlavu kwenu.+ 10 Ngemuva kwaloko nibogubha uMkhosi Wemaviki leniwentela Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu.+ Nitawuletsa umnikelo wekutitsandzela, futsi lomnikelo kufanele uhambelane nelizinga Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu lanibusise ngalo.+ 11 Nibojabula embikwaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, nine nemadvodzana enu, nemadvodzakati enu, netigcili netigcilikati tenu, emaLevi lasemagcekeni* enu, nebantfu bekuhamba, tintsandzane kanye nebafelokati labasemkhatsini wenu, futsi loku kufanele nikwentele kulendzawo Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu latawukhetsa kubeka libito lakhe kuyo.+ 12 Khumbulani kutsi nani nake naba tigcili eGibhithe,+ ngako-ke niboyigcina lemiyalo niphindze niyilalele.
13 “Nibogubha uMkhosi Wemadlangala*+ emalanga langu-7, nanibutsa loko lenikutsetse ebaleni lenu lekubhulela nasetjeni lenu lekuhlutela emafutsa nelekuhlutela liwayini. 14 Ngesikhatsi salomkhosi kufanele nijabule,+ nine nemadvodzana enu, nemadvodzakati enu, netigcili netigcilikati tenu, nemaLevi, nebantfu bekuhamba, netintsandzane kanye nebafelokati, bonkhe labasemagcekeni enu. 15 Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu nitawumentela lomkhosi emalanga langu-7,+ endzaweni Jehova layikhetsile, ngobe Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu utawubusisa wonkhe umkhicito wenu nako konkhe lenikwentako,+ nine nitawujabula nje kuphela.+
16 “Katsatfu ngemnyaka, bonkhe labadvuna kini kufanele baye embikwaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu endzaweni layikhetsile. Loku kutawukwenteka ngeMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesite Imvubelo,+ ngeMkhosi Wemaviki,+ nangeMkhosi Wemadlangala.*+ Kute ngisho namunye kubo lokufanele aye embikwaJehova angakaphatsi lutfo. 17 Ngamunye wabo aboletsa sipho lesihambelana nelizinga Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu lanibusise ngalo.+
