¹ Nyalo nangu umtsetfo lokumete uwushaye phambi kwabo: ² Nangabe utsenga sisebenti semaHebheru, kumele sisebente iminyaka lesitfupha, bese kulomnyaka wesikhombisa utawuhamba angakabhadali lutfo. ³ Nangabe ete ngekwakhe, akahambe angulokhululekile; nangabe ashadile, kumele ahambe nemfati wakhe bakhululekile. ⁴ Nangabe umphatsi wakhe amnika umfati bese umtalela emadvodza nemadvodzakati, lomfati nalabantfwana batawuba balomphatsi wakhe, yena kumele ahambe akhululekile ngekwakhe. ⁵ Kepha nangabe lesisebenti satsi ngalokusebaleni, ''Ngiyamtsandza umphatsi wami, umfati wami, kanye nebantfwana bami; Angeke ngihambe ngikhululekile,'' ⁶ kumele lomphatsi amletse kuNkulunkulu . Lomphatsi kumele amletse emnyango noma ensikeni yemnyango, Lomphatsi wakhe kumele ambhoboze endlebeni ngentfo lekhaliphako. Ngaloko lesisebenti sitamsebenta imphilo yaso yonkhe. ⁷ Nangabe indvodza itsengisa indvodzakati yayo njenge sisebenti lesisikati, akukameli ahambe mahhala njengobe sisebenti lesidvuna senta. ⁸ Nangabe angamu jabulisi umphatsi wakhe, lona labamkhetsele yena kumele amvumele bamtsenge emuva, kumele amente abuyele emuva. Ute imvumo yekumtsengisela bantfu labatihambi. Ute leyo mvumo, njengobe umphatsise kwesikhohlakali. ⁹ Nangabe lomphatsi wakhe abona kutsi lomfati angayilungela indvondzana yakhe, kumete amphatse njenge dvodzakati yakhe. ¹⁰ Nangabe amtsatsela lomunye umfati. Akangakulahli kudla kwakhe, timphahla takhe, nemalungelo emshado wakhe. ¹¹ Kepha nangabe angamniki loku lokutsatfu yena, lapho sekangahamba naye ngaphandle kwekubhadala imali. ¹² Nomangabe ngubani loshaya indvodza kute ife, loyo muntfu impela kumete afe. ¹³ Nangabe lomuntfu ukwente loku angakakucabangi, kepha kube siphosiso, ngitawubese ngilungisa indzawo lapho angabalekela khona. ¹⁴ Nangabe indvodza ihlasela ngenjongo makhelwane wakhe futsi imbulale ngekuhambisana nemasu akhe, kufanele umutsatse, noma ngabe uselathini laNkulunkulu, khona atewukufa. ¹⁶ Nomangabe ngubani loshaya uyise noma unina ngicinisile maka bulawe. ¹⁵ Loyo lotfumba umuntfu-noma ke lomtfumbi amtsengisa, noma loyo muntfu nakatfolakala etandleni takhe-loyo muntfumbi makabulawe. ¹⁷ Loyo localekisa uyise noma unina ngicinisile makabulawe. ¹⁸ Nangabe emadvodza alwa bese munye ushaya lomunye ngelitje noma ngesibhakela, bese loyo muntfu akasafi, kepha uhlala embhedzeni wakhe; ¹⁹ bese uyelulama sewuyakhona kuhamba asebentise indvuku, lendvodza leyamlimata kumele imbhadale ngalesikhatsi sakhe lesacitseka; Aphindze abhadalele kululama kwakhe ngalokuphelele. Kepha leyo ndvodza ayinacala lekubulala. ²⁰ Umangabe indvodza ilimata sisebenti sayo lesidvuna noma lesisikati ngendvuku, bese lesisebenti siyafa ngenca yalokulimala, kumele leyo ndvodza ngicinisile ijeziswe. ²¹ Noma kunjalo, uma lesisebenti siphila lilanga noma lamabili, lomphatsi kumele angajeziswa, ngoba sewu hlukumetwe kulahlekelwa sisebenti. ²² Umangabe emadvodza alwa ndzawonye bese alimata umfati lokhulelwe bese uphunyelwa sisu, kepha kute lokunye kulimala kuye, loyo lodliwa licala ngicinisile kumele abhadale njengobe lendvodza yalomfati ikufuna kuye, futsi kumele abhadale njengoba kusho ummehluleli. ²³ Kepha nangabe alimele mbamba, ngako kumele unikele imphilo ngemphilo, ²⁴ liso ngeso, litinyo ngelitinyo, sandla nesandla, lunyawo ngelunyawo, ²⁵ kusha ngekusha, silondza nesilondza noma kulimala nekulimala. ²⁶ Nangabe indvodza ilimata liso lesisebenti salo lesidvuna noma sisebenti sakhe lesisikati futsi asibhubhisa, kumele asiyekele lesisebenti sihambe sikhululekile ngesincephetelo seliso laso. ²⁷ Umangabe akhipha litinyo lesisebenti sakhe lesidvuna noma sisebenti lesisikati, akakhulule leso sisebenti sihambe nalesincephetelo salelitinyo. ²⁸ Nangabe inkunzi ihlaba indvodza noma wesifazane afe lenkunzi kumele niciniseke kutsi iyashaywa, futsi nenyama yayo ingadliwa; kepha lomnikati walenkunzi nangabe angatisoli. ²⁹ kepha nangabe lenkunzi inemkhuba wekuhlabana kusukela kadzeni, futsi lomnikati wacasheliswa wangakugcini loko, lenkunzi nangabe yabulala indvodza noma wesifazane, leyo nkunzi ayishaywe ngematje, kanye nemnikati wayo abulawe. ³⁰ Nangabe imbhadalo idzingeka ngemphilo yakhe, akabhadale noma ngabe yini ngaloko lokufunele akubhadale. ³¹ Nangabe lenkuzi ihlaba indvodzana yendvodza noma indvodzakati, Lomnikati walenkuzi ngiyashicilela kutsi akwente konkhe latjelwa kona. ³² Nangabe lenkuzi ihlaba sisebenti lesidvuna noma lesisikati, Kepha lomnikati wale nkunzi kumele abhadale emashumi lamatsatfu esiliva, futsi leyo nkuzi kumele ishaywe ngematje. ³³ Umangabe indvodza ivula umgodzi, noma ngabe igubha umgodzi bese ayisawuvali, bese inkunzi noma imbongolo igcumukela kuwo, ³⁴ Lomnikati walomgodzi kumele abhadale ngenca yalokulahlekelwa. Kumele anike lomnikati walesilwane lesifile imali, futsi lesilwane lesifile sitawuba sakhe. ³⁵ Umangabe inkunzi yinye yendvodza ilimata lenye inkuzi yendvodza kute ife, kumele batsengise lenkuzi lephilako futsi bayihlukanise ngekwesilinganiso sayo, futsi kumete bahlukanise nalena lefile. ³⁶ Kepha nangabe beyatiwa kutsi iyahlabana ngase muva, futsi umnikati wayo wangakugcini loko. Ngicinisile akabhadale inkunzi ngenkunzi, futsi leso silwane lesifile sitawuba ngesakhe.
