1. UJehova wathi kimi: “Hamba futhi, umthande owesifazane othandwa ngumngane wakhe, eyisiphingikazi, njengalokhu uJehova ethanda abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, noma bephendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu, bethanda izigaxa zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo.”
2. Ngase ngizithengela yena ngezinhlamvu eziyishumi nanhlanu zesiliva, nangehomere* lebhali,* nangenxenye yehomere lebhali,
3. ngathi kuye: “Uyakuhlala kimi izinsuku eziningi, ungafebi, ungabi ngowomunye, nami ngibe njalo kuwe.”
4. Ngokuba izinsuku eziningi abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bayakuhlala bengenankosi, bengenasikhulu, bengenamhlatshelo, bengenansika, bengenangubo yamahlombe namatherafi.*
5. Ngasemuva abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bayakubuya, bamfune uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo noDavide inkosi yabo, babuyele kuJehova benovalo nakukho okuhle kwakhe ngezinsuku ezizayo.
