Deuteronomy 5
1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the ordinances and judgments, all that I speak in your ears this day, and ye shall learn them, and observe to do them.
UMozisi wasebiza uIsrayeli wonke, wathi kubo: Zwana, Israyeli, izimiso lezahlulelo engizikhuluma endlebeni zenu lamuhla, ukuze lizifunde, linanzelele ukuzenza.
2 The Lord your God made a covenant with you in Choreb.
INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yenza isivumelwano lathi eHorebe.
3 The Lord did not make this covenant with your fathers, but with you: ye are all here alive this day.
INkosi kayisenzanga lesisivumelwano labobaba, kodwa lathi, thina sonke esilapha siphila lamuhla.
4 The Lord spoke to you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire.
INkosi yakhuluma lani ubuso lobuso entabeni, iphakathi komlilo,
5 And I stood between the Lord and you at that time to report to you the words of the Lord, (because ye were afraid before the fire, and ye went not up to the mountain) saying,
(ngema phakathi kweNkosi lani ngalesosikhathi, ukulazisa ilizwi leNkosi; ngoba lesaba ngenxa yomlilo, kalenyukelanga entabeni) isithi:
6 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, eyakukhupha elizweni leGibhithe, endlini yobugqili.
7 Thou shalt have no other gods before my face.
Ungabi labanye onkulunkulu phambi kwami.
8 Thou shalt not make to thyself an image, nor likeness of any thing, whatever things [are] in the heaven above, and whatever [are] in the earth beneath, and whatever [are] in the waters under the earth.
Ungazenzeli isithombe esibaziweyo, loba yiwuphi umfanekiso wokusemazulwini phezulu loba wokusemhlabeni phansi, loba wokusemanzini ngaphansi komhlaba.
9 Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor shalt thou serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,
Ungakukhothameli, ungakukhonzi; ngoba mina iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, nginguNkulunkulu olobukhwele, ngiphindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana, kuze kube sesizukulwaneni sesithathu lesesine sabangizondayo,
10 and doing mercifully to thousands of them that love me, and that keep my commandments.
njalo ngibenzela umusa abayizinkulungwane zabangithandayo lezabagcina imilayo yami.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord thy God will certainly not acquit him that takes his name in vain.
Ungaliphathi ngeze ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ngoba iNkosi kayiyikumyekela engelacala ophatha ibizo layo ngeze.
12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God commanded thee.
Gcina usuku lwesabatha, ukulungcwelisa, njengokukulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
13 Six days thou shalt work, and thou shalt do all thy works;
Insuku eziyisithupha uzasebenza, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho;
14 but on the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do in it no work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and the stranger that sojourns in the midst of thee; that thy man-servant may rest, and thy maid, and thine ox, as well as thou.
kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa lulisabatha leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ungenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalo, wena lendodana yakho lendodakazi yakho lenceku yakho lencekukazi yakho lenkabi yakho lobabhemi wakho loba yisiphi sezifuyo zakho, lowemzini wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho, ukuze iphumule inceku yakho lencekukazi yakho, njengawe.
15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought thee out thence with a mighty hand, and a high arm: therefore the Lord appointed thee to keep the sabbath day and to sanctify it.
Njalo ukhumbule ukuthi wawuyinceku elizweni leGibhithe, lokuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakukhupha khona ngesandla esilamandla langengalo eyeluliweyo. Ngakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakulaya ukuthi ugcine usuku lwesabatha.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God commanded thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long upon the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee.
Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko, njengokukulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ukuze insuku zakho zelulwe, lokuthi kukulungele elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona.
17 Thou shalt not commit murder.
Ungabulali.
18 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Njalo ungafebi.
19 Thou shalt not steal.
Njalo ungebi.
20 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Njalo unganiki ubufakazi bamanga ngomakhelwane wakho.
21 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, nor his field, nor his man-servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any beast of his, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Njalo ungafisi umkamakhelwane wakho; ungahawukeli indlu kamakhelwane wakho, insimu yakhe, lenceku yakhe, lencekukazi yakhe, inkabi yakhe, lobabhemi wakhe, njalo loba yini ekamakhelwane wakho.
22 These words the Lord spoke to all the assembly of you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire—[there was] darkness, blackness, storm, a loud voice—and he added no more, and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and he gave them to me.
Amazwi la iNkosi yawakhuluma ebandleni lenu lonke entabeni, iphakathi komlilo, eyezini, lemnyameni onzima, ngelizwi elikhulu; njalo kayengezelelanga. Yawabhala ezibhebheni ezimbili zamatshe, yanginika zona.
23 And it came to pass when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the fire, for the mountain burned with fire, that ye came to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders:
Kwasekusithi lilizwa ilizwi livela phakathi komnyama, lentaba ivutha umlilo, lasondela kimi, zonke inhloko zezizwe zenu, labadala benu,
24 and ye said, Behold, the Lord our God has shewn us his glory, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: this day we have seen that God shall speak to man, and he shall live.
lathi: Khangela, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu isitshengisile inkazimulo yayo lobukhulu bayo, lelizwi layo silizwile livela phakathi komlilo; lamuhla sibonile ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma lomuntu aphile.
25 And now let us not die, for this great fire will consume us, if we shall hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, and we shall die.
Ngakho-ke sizafelani? Ngoba lumlilo omkhulu uzasiqothula. Uba siphinda silizwa ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu futhi, sizakufa-ke.
26 For what flesh [is there] which has heard the voice of the living God, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have heard], and shall live?
Ngoba ngubani enyameni yonke owezwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu ophilayo likhuluma livela phakathi komlilo, njengathi, waphila?
27 Do thou draw near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say, and thou shalt speak to us all things whatsoever the Lord our God shall speak to thee, and we will hear, and do.
Sondela wena, uzwe konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezakutsho, usitshele wena konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezakutsho kuwe, sizakuzwa, sikwenze.
28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words as ye spoke to me; and the Lord said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, even all things that they have said to thee. [They have] well [said] all that they have spoken.
INkosi yasisizwa ilizwi lamazwi enu ekukhulumeni kwenu kimi; iNkosi yasisithi kimi: Ngizwile ilizwi lamazwi alababantu abawakhulume kuwe; kulungile konke abakukhulumileyo.
29 O that there were such a heart in them, that they should fear me and keep my commands always, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever.
O kungathi bangaba lenhliziyo enjalo yokungesaba, bagcine yonke imilayo yami, insuku zonke, ukuze kubalungele labantwana babo kuze kube nininini!
30 Go, say to them, Return ye to your houses;
Hamba uthi kibo: Zibuyeleleni emathenteni enu.
31 but stand thou here with me, and I will tell thee all the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, and let them do so in the land which I give them for an inheritance.
Kodwa wena, mana lapha phansi kwami, ke ngikhulume kuwe yonke imilayo lezimiso lezahlulelo ozabafundisa zona, ukuze bazenze elizweni engibanika lona ukuthi badle ilifa lalo.
32 And ye shall take heed to do as the Lord thy God commanded thee; ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left,
Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi lenze njengokulilaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu; lingaphambukeli ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo.
33 according to all the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in it, that he may give thee rest; and that it may be well with thee, and ye may prolong your days on the land which ye shall inherit.
Lizahamba endleleni yonke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu elilaye yona, ukuze liphile, njalo kulilungele, libe seliselula izinsuku elizweni elizakudla ilifa lalo.
