12 “Kaloku ke, Sirayeli, yintoni na uYehova uThixo wakho ayifunayo kuwe+ ngaphandle kokuba woyike+ uYehova uThixo wakho, uhambe ngeendlela zakhe zonke+ uze umthande+ yaye umkhonze uYehova uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho yonke nangomphefumlo wakho wonke;+

4 ukuze uYehova aliphumeze ilizwi lakhe awalithethayo ngam,+ esithi, ‘Ukuba oonyana bakho+ baya kuyinyamekela indlela yabo ngokuhamba+ enyanisweni+ phambi kwam ngayo yonke intliziyo yabo+ nangawo wonke umphefumlo wabo, akukho mntu wakho uya kunqunyulwa ekuhlaleni etroneni yakwaSirayeli.’+

23 Ngaphezu kwako konke okunye okumele kulondolozwe, londoloza intliziyo yakho,+ kuba iphuma kuyo imithombo yobomi.+

4 UYehova wahlabela mgama wathi kuye: “Mthiye igama elinguYizereli,+ kuba kulithuba elincinane ukuze ndiyiphendulise indlu kaYehu+ ngezenzo zophalazo-gazi zaseYizereli, ndize ndiyiyekise ulawulo lwasebukhosini indlu kaSirayeli.+

38 “Kodwa owam yena lowo ulilungisa uya kuphila ngenxa yokholo,”+ yaye, “ukuba uthe wahlehla, umphefumlo wam awukholiswa nguye.”+
