20 UJehova waqhubeka ekhuluma noMose, wathi: 2 “Kufanele uthi kuma-Israyeli, ‘Noma yimuphi umuntu wakwa-Israyeli noma oyisifiki ohlala kwa-Israyeli, onikela nganoma iyiphi inzalo yakhe kuMoloki, kufanele abulawe nakanjani. + Abantu bezwe kufanele bamshaye ngamatshe aze afe. 3 Mina ngokwami ngiyomelana nalowo muntu, futhi ngiyombulala* ngoba unikele ngenye yenzalo yakhe kuMoloki, wangcolisa indawo yami engcwele + negama lami elingcwele. 4 Uma abantu bezwe bengavala amehlo abo ngamabomu kulokho okwenziwa yilowo muntu lapho enikela ngenzalo yakhe kuMoloki futhi bangambulali, + 5 nakanjani mina ngiyomelana nalowo muntu nomndeni wakhe. + Ngiyombulala* lowo muntu kanye nabo bonke abahlanganyela naye ekufebeni noMoloki.

6 “‘Ngokuqondene nomuntu ophendukela kwabasebenzelana nemimoya + nakubabikezeli bekusasa + ukuze afebe nabo ngokomoya,* nakanjani ngiyomelana nalowo muntu ngimbulale. *+

7 “‘Kumele nizingcwelise nibe ngcwele + ngoba nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu. 8 Kumele nigcine imithetho yami futhi niyenze. + NginguJehova oningcwelisayo. +

9 “‘Uma kukhona noma yimuphi umuntu oqalekisa uyise noma unina, kufanele abulawe nakanjani. + Ngenxa yokuthi uqalekise uyise noma unina, igazi lakhe liphezu kwakhe.

10 “‘Ngokuqondene nendoda ephinga nomfazi wenye indoda: Umuntu ophinga nomfazi wenye indoda kufanele abulawe nakanjani, isiphingi nesiphingikazi. + 11 Indoda elala nomkayise ithele uyise ngehlazo. *+ Bobabili kufanele babulawe nakanjani. Igazi labo liphezu kwabo. 12 Uma indoda ilala nomalokazana wayo, bobabili kufanele babulawe nakanjani. Baphule umthetho wemvelo. Igazi labo liphezu kwabo. +

13 “‘Uma indoda ilala nowesilisa ngendlela elala ngayo nowesifazane, bobabili benze into enyanyekayo. + Kufanele babulawe nakanjani. Igazi labo liphezu kwabo.

14 “‘Uma indoda ithatha owesifazane kanye nonina, kuyihlazo lokho. *+ Kufanele bayishise ngomlilo kanye nabo, + ukuze ukuziphatha okuyihlazo kungaqhubeki phakathi kwenu.

15 “‘Uma indoda ilala nesilwane, kufanele ibulawe nakanjani, kufanele nibulale naleso silwane. + 16 Uma owesifazane eya kunoma yisiphi isilwane ukuze alale naso, + kumele nimbulale owesifazane nesilwane. Kufanele babulawe nakanjani. Igazi labo liphezu kwabo.

17 “‘Uma indoda ilala nodadewabo, indodakazi kayise noma kanina, ibone ubunqunu bakhe, naye abone ubunqunu bayo, kuyihlazo. + Kumele babulawe* phambi kwabantu bakubo. Ithele udadewabo ngehlazo.* Kufanele iphendule ngesiphambeko sayo.

18 “‘Uma indoda ilala nowesifazane osesikhathini, bobabili bambule umthombo wegazi lakhe. + Kumele babulawe* bobabili.

19 “‘Akumele ulale nodadewabo kanyoko noma nodadewabo kayihlo, ngoba lokho kuyobe kuwukuthela isihlobo sakho segazi ngehlazo. + Kufanele baphendule ngesiphambeko sabo. 20 Indoda elala nomfazi womfowabo kayise ithele umfowabo kayise ngehlazo. *+ Kufanele baphendule ngesono sabo. Kufanele bafe bengenamntwana. 21 Uma indoda ithatha umkamfowabo, kuyinto enyanyekayo. + Ithele umfowabo ngehlazo.* Kufanele bangabi nabantwana.

22 “‘Kumele nigcine yonke imithetho yami nazo zonke izinqumo zami zokwahlulela + futhi nikwenze, + ukuze izwe enginiletha kulo ukuba nihlale kulo linganihlanzi linikhiphe. + 23 Akumele nihambe ngemithetho yezizwe engizixosha phambi kwenu; + ngoba zizenzile zonke lezi zinto futhi ngiyazenyanya. + 24 Yingakho ngithe kini: “Niyodla ifa lezwe lazo futhi mina ngiyolinika nina libe ifa lenu, izwe eligeleza ubisi noju. + NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, onihlukanisile kwezinye izizwe.” + 25 Kumele nihlukanise phakathi kwesilwane esihlanzekile nesingcolile naphakathi kwenyoni engcolile nehlanzekile; + akumele nizenze nenyanyeke ngenxa yesilwane noma inyoni nanoma yini ehuquzela emhlabathini enginihlukanisele yona ngathi ingcolile. + 26 Kumele nibe ngcwele kimi ngoba mina Jehova ngingcwele + futhi ngiyanihlukanisa kwezinye izizwe ukuze nibe ngabami. +

27 “‘Noma iyiphi indoda noma owesifazane osebenzelana nemimoya noma obikezela ikusasa,* kufanele abulawe nakanjani. + Abantu kufanele bamshaye ngamatshe aze afe. Igazi lakhe liphezu kwakhe.’”
