19 “‘Kufuze nilalele imiyalwami: Akukafuzi nizalanise imihlobo emibili yeenlwana ezifuywako. Akukafuzi nitjale esiminenu ngemihlobo emibili yembewu+ begodu akukafuzi nimbathe izambatho ezenziwe ngeenrhara ezimbili ezihlukileko zahlanganiswa ndawonye.+
20 “‘Nangabe indoda itjhinga emabhayini nomfazi osisebenzi esithenjiswe enye indoda kodwana nangabe umfazi loyo akakahlengwa namkha akakatjhatjhululwa, bobabili kufuze bajeziswe. Kodwana akukafuzi babulawe ngombana bekangakatjhatjhululwa.

24 Ngomnyaka wesine, zoke iinthelo zizokucwengeka begodu nizozinikela kuJehova nithabile.+
25 Ngomnyaka wesihlanu ningazidla iinthelo zayo, nanyana yini eniyibuthelela kizo izokwandisa isivuno senu. NginguJehova uZimenu.
26 “‘Ningadli litho eneengazi.+
“‘Ningathukuli namkha nenze imilingo.+
27 “‘Akukafuzi nigude iinhluthu ezingemaqadi eenhlokweni zenu namkha niphungule iindevu zenu.+
28 “‘Ningazisiki ngebanga lomuntu ohlongakeleko*+ begodu akukafuzi nizigwale emzimbeni. NginguJehova.

33 “‘Nangabe umuntu ovela kwenye inarha ahlala hlangana nani enarhenenu, akukafuzi nimphathe kumbi.+
34 Umuntu ovela kwenye inarha ohlala hlangana nani, kufuze nimphathe njengomuntu wenarhenenu+ begodu kufuze nimthande njengombana nizithanda nina ngombana nani nakhe nahlala enarheni ekungasi ngeyenu eGibhide.+ NginguJehova uZimenu.
35 “‘Ningakhwabanisi lokha nanilinganisa ubude, ubudisi namkha into emamanzi.+
36 Kufuze nisebenzise izinto ezifaneleko zokukala, amatje afaneleko wokukala izinto ezibudisi, i-efa* elifaneleko nehini* elifaneleko.+ NginguJehova uZimenu, owanikhupha enarheni yeGibhide.
37 Kufuze nilalele yoke imithetho nemiyalwami beniyilandele.+ NginguJehova.’”
