11:12  ilizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho elikhathalelayo; amehlo eNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho aphezu kwalo njalo, kusukela ekuqaleni komnyaka kuze kube sekupheleni komnyaka.

11:13  Kuzakuthi-ke, uba lilalela lokulalela imithetho yami engililaya yona lamuhla, ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lokuyikhonza ngenhliziyo yenu yonke langomphefumulo wenu wonke,

11:14  ngizanika izulu lelizwe lenu ngesikhathi salo, izulu elokuqala lezulu lokucina, ukuze ubuthe amabele akho lewayini lakho elitsha lamafutha akho.

11:15  Ngizanika izifuyo zakho utshani edlelweni lakho, njalo uzakudla, usuthe.

11:16  Ziqapheleni, hlezi inhliziyo yenu ikhohliseke, liphambuke, likhonze abanye onkulunkulu, libakhothamele,

11:17  ukuze ulaka lweNkosi lulivuthele, njalo ivale amazulu, ukuze kungabi khona izulu, lelizwe lingatheli isivuno salo, libhubhe masinyane lisuke elizweni elihle iNkosi elinika lona.

11:18  Ngakho lizabeka lamazwi ami enhliziyweni yenu lemphefumulweni wenu, liwabophele esandleni senu abe luphawu, ukuze abe ngamafilakteriyu* phakathi laphakathi kwamehlo enu.

11:19  Lizawafundisa abantwana benu, ukhulume ngawo lapho uhlezi endlini yakho, lalapho uhamba endleleni, lalapho ulala, lalapho uvuka.

11:20  Liwabhale emigubazini yendlu yakho lemasangweni akho,

11:21  ukuze zande insuku zenu lensuku zabantwana benu, elizweni iNkosi eyalifungela oyihlo ukubanika lona, njengensuku zamazulu phezu komhlaba.

11:22  Ngoba uba ligcina lokugcina yonke imithetho le engililaya ukuthi liyenze, ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuhamba ngendlela zayo zonke, lokunamathela kuyo,

11:23  khona iNkosi izaxotsha elifeni zonke lezizizwe zisuke phambi kwenu, lidle ilifa lezizwe ezinkulu lezilamandla kulani.

11:24  Yonke indawo lapho ingaphansi yonyawo lwenu ezanyathela khona izakuba ngeyenu; kusukela enkangala, leLebhanoni, kusukela emfuleni, umfula iYufrathi, kuze kufike elwandle lokucina, kuzakuba ngumngcele wenu.

11:25  Kakulamuntu ozakuma phambi kwenu; iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izabeka ukwesabeka kwenu lokutshaywa luvalo ngani phezu kwalo lonke ilizwe elizanyathela kulo, njengalokhu etshilo kini.

11:26  Khangelani, lamuhla ngiyabeka phambi kwenu isibusiso lesiqalekiso;

11:27  isibusiso, uba lilalela imithetho yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu engililaya yona lamuhla;

11:29  Kuzakuthi lapho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho esekungenisile elizweni oya kulo ukudla ilifa lalo, uzabeka isibusiso phezu kwentaba yeGerizimi, lesiqalekiso phezu kwentaba yeEbhali.

11:30  Angithi zona ziphetsheya kweJordani emva kwendlela yekutshoneni kwelanga, elizweni lamaKhanani ahlala emagcekeni maqondana leGiligali, eduze lezihlahla zama-okhi* zeMore?

11:31  Ngoba lizachapha iJordani ukuze lingene lidle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu elinika lona. Lizakudla ilifa lalo, lihlale kilo,

11:32  linanzelele ukwenza zonke izimiso lezahlulelo engizibeka phambi kwenu lamuhla.
