23Ungawuphathi umbiko wamangaa, ungafaki isandla sakho lomubi ukuze ube ngumfakazi wobubib.

2 Ungalandeli abanengi ngezinto ezimbic, ungafakazi ecaleni ukuze weyamele kwabanengi uliphambuled.

4 Uba uhlangana lenkabi yesitha sakho loba ubabhemi waso kuduha, uzakubuyisela lokukubuyisela kusof. 5 Uba ubona ubabhemi walowo okuzondayo elele ngaphansi komthwalo wakhe, uyekele ukumkhulula, uzamkhulula lokumkhulula laye.

6 Kawuyikuphambula ukwahlulelwa komyanga wakho ecaleni lakheg. 7 Bana khatshana lendaba yamangah, ungabulali ongelacala lolungileyoi, ngoba kangiyikumlungisisa okhohlakeleyoj.

8 Njalo kawuyikwemukela isivalamlomok, ngoba isivalamlomo siphumputhekisa ababonayo, sonakalise amazwi abalungileyo.

9 Futhi kawuyikumcindezela owezizwel; ngoba lina liyayazi imizwa yowezizwe, ngoba lalingabezizwe elizweni leGibhithe.

10 Njalo iminyaka eyisithupha uzahlanyela isiqinti sakhom, ubuthe isivuno saso. 11 Kodwa ngowesikhombisa uzasilalukisa sibe lifusi, ukuze abayanga besizwe sakho badle, lalokho okuseleyo inyamazana zeganga zikudle. Wenze njalo ngesivini sakho lemihlwathi yakho. 12 Insuku eziyisithupha uzakwenza umsebenzi wakho, njalo ngosuku lwesikhombisa uphumulen, ukuze kuphumule inkabi yakho labobabhemi bakho, kuvuselele-ke indodana yencekukazi yakho lowezizweni. 13 Lezintweni zonke esengizitshilo kini qaphelanio, lebizo labanye onkulunkulu lingaliphathi, kaliyikuzwakala emlonyeni wakhop.

14 Kathathuq ngomnyaka uzangigcinela umkhosir. 15 Umkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo uzawugcinas, insuku eziyisikhombisa udle isinkwa esingelamvubelo njengokukulaya kwami, ngesikhathi esimisiweyo senyanga kaAbhibhi; ngoba kuyo waphuma eGibhithe; kabayikubonakala phambi kwami bengaphethe luthot. 16 Lomkhosi wesivunou, izithelo zokuqala zomsebenzi wakho, owuhlanyeleyo ensimini; lomkhosi wokubutha ekupheleni komnyakav, lapho usubuthile umsebenzi wakho ensimini. 17 Kathathu ngomnyaka bonke abesilisa bakho bazabonakala phambi kweNkosi uJehova.

18 Kawuyikunikela igazi lomhlatshelo wami kanye lesinkwa esilemvubelow. Lamafutha omkhosi wami angalali kuze kuse. 19 Ikhethelo lezithelo zokuqala zensimu yakho uzaliletha endlini yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhox. Ungapheki izinyane echagweni lukaninay.

20 Khangela, ngithuma ingilosi1 phambi kwakho ukuze ikulondoloze endleleniz, ikuse endaweni engiyilungisileyo. 21 Uqaphele phambi kwayo, ulalele ilizwi layo; ungayicunulia, ngoba kayiyikuthethelela iziphambeko zenub; ngoba ibizo lami liphakathi kwayo. 22 Kodwa uba ulalela lokulalela ilizwi layo, wenze konke engikutshoyo, sengizakuba yisitha sezitha zakhoc, ngiphambane labaphambana lawe. 23 Ngoba ingilosi yami izahamba phambi kwakhod, ikungenise kumaAmori lamaHethi lamaPerizi lamaKhanani lamaHivi lamaJebusie. Njalo ngizababhubhisa. 24 Ungakhothameli onkulunkulu babo, ungabakhonzi, ungenzi njengemisebenzi yabof; kodwa ubachithe lokubachithag, ubhidlize lokubhidliza izinsika zabo eziyizithombeh. 25 Lizakhonza-ke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenui; njalo izabusisa ukudla kwakho lamanzi akhoj, njalo ngisuse isifo phakathi kwakhok.

26 Kakuyikuba khona okuphunzayo lokuyinyumba elizweni lakhol. Ngizaphelelisa inani lensuku zakhom. 27 Ngizathumela ukwesabeka kwami phambi kwakhon, ngiphambanise bonke abantu ozafika kuboo, ngenze izitha zakho zonke zikunike isiphundu. 28 Ngizathumela olonyovu phambi kwakhop abazaxotsha amaHivi, amaKhanani lamaHethi phambi kwakho. 29 Kangiyikubaxotsha phambi kwakhoq ngomnyaka owodwa, hlezi ilizwe libe ngamanxiwa, lenyamazana zeganga zikwandele. 30 Ngizabaxotsha phambi kwakho kancinyane kancinyane, uze wande, udle ilifa lelizwe. 31 Njalo ngizamisa imingcele yakhor kusukela eLwandle oluBomvu kuze kufike elwandle lwamaFilisti, njalo kusukela enkangala kuze kufike emfuleni; ngoba ngizanikela esandleni sakho abakhileyo belizwes; uzabaxotsha phambi kwakho. 32 Ungenzi isivumelwano labo labonkulunkulu babot. 33 Kabayikuhlala elizweni lakho, hlezi bakwenze ukuthi wone kimi; uba ukhonza onkulunkulu babo, ngeqiniso kuzakuba yisifu kuweu.
