40 Nize nizithabathele ngosuku lokuqala iziqhamo zemithi emihle,+ amagqabi emithi yesundu namasebe emithi eshinyeneyo nemingcunube yasentlanjeni, nibe nemihlali+ phambi koYehova uThixo wenu iintsuku ezisixhenxe.

12 Nize nibe nemihlali phambi koYehova uThixo+ wenu, nina noonyana benu neentombi zenu namakhoboka enu namakhobokazana enu nomLevi osemasangweni enu, ngokuba akanasabelo nalifa nani.+

11 Uze ube nemihlali+ wena nendlu yakho ngezinto zonke ezintle akunike zona uYehova uThixo wakho, wena nomLevi nomphambukeli ophakathi kwenu.+

10 Kwaye wahlabela mgama wathi kubo: “Hambani, nidle izinto ezinamanqatha nize nisele izinto ezimnandi, nithumele izabelo+ kwabo bebengalungiselelwanga nto; kuba olu suku lungcwele kwiNkosi yethu, ningabi buhlungu, kuba uvuyo lukaYehova ligwiba lenu.”

17 Ngaloo ndlela lonke ibandla labo babebuye ekuthinjweni lenza iminquba laza lahlala eminqubeni; kuba oonyana bakaSirayeli babengenzi ngaloo ndlela ukususela kwimihla kaYoshuwa unyana kaNun+ de kube ngaloo mini, kangangokuba baba nemihlali kakhulu.+

18 Khangela! Eyona nto ilungileyo ndiyibonileyo, nentle, kukuba ubani adle, asele aze abone okulungileyo ekusebenzeni kwakhe nzima+ akusebenzayo phantsi kwelanga ngemihla yobomi bakhe amnike yona uTHIXO oyinyaniso, kuba kusisabelo sakhe oko.
