4 “Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu ningabomkhonta ngaleyo ndlela.+ 5 Kunekutsi nente njalo, kufanele nifune Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu kunobe nguyiphi indzawo lakhetsa kubeka libito lakhe kuyo nalakhetsa kuhlala kuyo emkhatsini wetive tenu, bese niya kuleyo ndzawo.+ 6 Kulapho nitawuletsa khona iminikelo yenu yekushiswa,+ imihlatjelo, kwelishumi,+ tipho,+ iminikelo yekufunga, iminikelo yekutitsandzela+ kanye nematibulo emihlambi yenu yetinkhomo, yetimvu kanye neyetimbuti.+ 7 Nine kanye nemindeni yenu kufanele nidlele lapho embikwaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu+ futsi nijabule ngako konkhe lenikwentile,+ ngobe Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu unibusisile.

8 “Ningabokwenta ngendlela lesenta ngayo lapha lamuhla, kutsi nguloyo naloyo ente lakubona kukuhle emehlweni akhe,* 9 njengobe nisengakefiki endzaweni yekuphumula+ nakulelifa Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninika lona. 10 Naseniyewelile iJordane,+ senihlala kulelive Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninika lona kutsi libe lenu, yena utaninika kuphumula kuto tonkhe titsa tenu letihlala eceleni kwenu, futsi nitawuhlala ngekuthula.+ 11 Kulendzawo Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu latawukhetsa kubeka libito lakhe kuyo,+ nitawuletsa konkhe loku lenginitjela kona, lokuyiminikelo yenu yekushishwa, imihlatjelo, kwelishumi,+ tipho kanye nayo yonkhe iminikelo yekufunga lenifunge kutsi nitayinika Jehova. 12 Nitawujabula embikwaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu,+ nine nemadvodzana enu nemadvodzakati enu, tigcili tenu netigcilikati tenu kanye nemaLevi lahlala emagcekeni* enu, ngobe wona ete sabelo nobe lifa emkhatsini wenu.+ 13 Iminikelo yenu yekushiswa ningaboyentela kunome nguyiphi indzawo leniyibonako.+ 14 Iminikelo yenu yekushiswa kufanele niyentele kuphela kulenye yetindzawo tetive tenu, leyo lekhetfwe nguJehova, futsi kulapho lakufanele nikwentele khona konkhe loku lenginitjela kona.+

15 “Kodvwa nobe nini nanifisa kudla inyama, ningahlaba nidle,+ kuwo onkhe emagceke* enu, kuye ngesibusiso Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu laninike sona. Umuntfu longcolile nalohlantekile angayidla lenyama, njengobe nje ningadla inswephe nobe inyamatane. 16 Ingati yona kufanele ningayidli,+ niboyitfululela emhlabatsini njengemanti.+ 17 Kwelishumi kwenu kwalokutinhlavu, kweliwayini, nekwemafutsa, kanye nematibulo emihlambi yenu yetinkhomo, yetimvu neyetimbuti,+ nanobe ngumiphi iminikelo yenu yekufunga lenifunge kutsi nitayinika Nkulunkulu, neminikelo yenu yekutitsandzela nobe tipho tenu, kona ngeke nivunyelwe kutsi nikudlele emagcekeni* enu. 18 Letintfo kufanele nitidle embikwaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu kulendzawo Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu latayikhetsa,+ nine nemadvodzana enu kanye nemadvodzakati enu, tigcili tenu netigcilikati tenu, kanye nemaLevi lasemagcekeni* enu, futsi nitawujabula embikwaJehova Nkulunkulu wenu ngako konkhe lenikwentile. 19 Kuko konkhe kuphila kwenu eveni lenu ningabowakhohlwa emaLevi.+

20 “Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu nasekayandzisa indzawo yenu,+ njengobe nje anetsembisile,+ bese nikhanuka inyama, ningayidla nobe nini naniyikhanuka.+ 21 Nangabe ikhashane lendzawo Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu lakhetse kutsi libito lakhe libe kuyo,+ nibohlaba emhlambini wenu wetinkhomo, nobe wetimvu nobe wetimbuti, loyo Jehova laninike wona, njengobe nje nganiyala, futsi lenyama niboyidlela emagcekeni* enu nobe nini naniyikhanuka.* 22 Ningayidla njengobe nidla inswephe kanye nenyamatane,+ futsi ingadliwa ngumuntfu longcolile nalohlantekile. 23 Kufanele niciniseke nje kutsi aniyidli ingati,+ ngobe ingati ikuphila,*+ ngako-ke akukafaneli nidle kuphila* kanye nenyama. 24 Ningaboyidla ingati, kodvwa niboyitfululela emhlabatsini njengemanti.+ 25 Ingati kufanele ningayidli kuze kunihambele kahle nine nebantfwana benu labatawukuta emvakwenu, ngobe nitawube nenta lokulungile emehlweni aJehova. 26 Naniya kulendzawo Jehova latayikhetsa, niboletsa tintfo tenu letingcwele kanye neminikelo yenu yekufunga kuphela. 27 Kuleyo ndzawo nitawukwenta iminikelo yekushiswa e-al’thare laJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, lokuyinyama kanye nengati.+ Lengati yemihlatjelo yenu kufanele itfululelwe phansi eceleni kweli-al’thare+ laJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, kodvwa lenyama yona ningayidla.

28 “Nibowalalelisisa onkhe lamavi lenginitjela wona, kuze tintfo tihlale tinihambela kahle nine nemadvodzana enu latawukuta emvakwenu, ngobe nitawube nenta lokuhle nalokulungile emehlweni aJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.

29 “Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu nasaticotfulile letive lenitawutsatsa indzawo yato,+ futsi nani senihlala kulelo live, 30 nibocaphela kutsi anitilandzeli tindlela tato ngemuva kwekutsi tona setibhujisiwe. Ningabuti ngabonkulunkulu bato, nitsi: ‘Letive betivame kubakhonta njani bonkulunkulu bato? Natsi sitawukwenta njengato.’+ 31 Loku ningabokwenta kuJehova Nkulunkulu wenu, ngobe letive tentela labonkulunkulu bato yonkhe inhlobo yetintfo letenyanyekako, leto Jehova langatitsandzi, tize tishise ngisho nemadvodzana ato nemadvodzakati ato emlilweni, tinikele ngawo kubonkulunkulu bato.+ 32 Kufanele niwagcine ngekucophelela onkhe lamavi lenginitjela wona.+ Ningengeti lutfo kuwo nobe nisuse lokutsite.+
