1 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,2 Bawisele umthetho oonyana bakaSirayeli, bathabathe bazise kuwe ioli eqaqambileyo yeminquma engqushiweyo yesikhanyiso, ukuba kumiswe isibane samaxesha onke.3 Nganeno komkhusane wesingqino, ententeni yokuhlangana, wohlala ezicwangcisa uAron izibane phambi koYehova, kuthabathela ngokuhlwa kuzise ekuseni: ngummiselo ongunaphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu.4 Wohlala ezicwangcisa izibane esiphathweni sezibane esicocekileyo phambi koYehova.5 Uze uthabathe umgubo ocoliweyo, uwose ube yimiqhathane elishumi elinamibini, umqhathane omnye ube zizahlulo ezibini zesishumi.6 Uze uyikrozise ngemikrozo emibini, ibe mithandathu mkrozweni mnye, etafileni ecocekileyo ephambi koYehova;7 ubeke intlaka emhlophe eqaqambileyo phezu komkrozo ngamnye, ibe sisikhumbuzo sesonka, ukudla kwasemlilweni kuYehova.8 Wohlala eyicwangcisa phambi koYehova ngemihla yonke yesabatha, ivela koonyana bakaSirayeli: ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade.9 Yoba yeka-Aron noonyana bakhe, bayidle endaweni engcwele; kuba yingcwele kangcwele kuye, ivela ekudleni kwasemlilweni kukaYehova: ngummiselo ongunaphakade.

10 Ke kaloku kwaphuma unyana womSirayelikazi phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli; waye engunyana womYiputa. Lo nyana womSirayelikazi nomfo wakwaSirayeli bantlalana eminqubeni,11 unyana womSirayelikazi lowo walithuka iGama, watshabhisa. Bamzisa kuMoses (igama lonina lalinguShelomiti, intombi kaDibri, wesizwe sakwaDan).12 Bamfaka elugcinweni, bade babahlulele loo nto ngokomlomo kaYehova.13 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,14 Mkhupheni lowo utshabhisileyo, abe ngaphandle kweminquba; bonke abo bamvileyo bacinezele ngezandla zabo entlokweni yakhe, limxulube ngamatye lonke ibandla.15 Uze uthethe koonyana bakaSirayeli, uthi, Umntu ngomntu, xa athe wamtshabhisa uThixo wakhe, wosithwala isono sakhe.16 Olithukayo igama likaYehova makabulawe afe. Lonke ibandla lomxuluba okunene ngamatye, kwanomphambukeli, kwanozalelwe ekhaya; ekulithukeni kwakhe iGama makabulawe.17 Umntu othe wabetha umntu wafa, nokuba nguwuphi, makabulawe afe.18 Obethe inkomo yafa, woyimisela; umphefumlo ngomphefumlo.19 Umntu xa athe wamlimaza ummelwane wakhe, njengoko enze ngako, makwenziwe ngako kuye:20 ukwaphulwa ngokwaphulwa, iliso ngeliso, izinyo ngezinyo. Njengoko amlimazileyo umntu, makwenziwe ngoko kuye.21 Obethe inkomo yafa, woyimisela; ke obethe umntu wafa makabulawe.22 Masibe sinye isigwebo senu kumphambukeli nakozalelwe ekhaya; ngokuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu.23 Wathetha uMoses koonyana bakaSirayeli; bamkhuphela phandle kweminquba lowo utshabhisileyo, bamxuluba ngamatye. Benza oonyana bakaSirayeli njengoko uYehova wamwisela umthetho uMoses.
