- NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu: hambani ngezimiso zami, nigcine izahlulelo zami, nizenze, ningcwelise amasabatha ami, abe yisibonakaliso phakathi kwami nani, ukuze nazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
- Gcina usuku lwesabatha, ulungcwelise, njengalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ekuyalile. Izinsuku eziyisithupha uyakusebenza, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho, kepha usuku lwesikhombisa luyisabatha likaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; awuyikusebenza msebenzi ngalo, wena nendodana yakho, nendodakazi yakho, nenceku yakho, nencekukazi yakho, nenkabi yakho, nembongolo yakho, nezinkomo zakho, nomfokazi wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho, ukuba inceku yakho nencekukazi yakho ziphumule njengawe.
- “Uma ulubuyisa unyawo lwakho kulo isabatha,
ukuze ungenzi umsebenzi wakho ngosuku lwami olungcwele,
ulibize isabatha ngokuthi intokozo,
nolungcwele lukaJehova ngokuthi lunodumo,
uludumise, ungahambi ngezindlela zakho,
ungawuqhubi umsebenzi wakho, ukhulume ize,
khona uyakuzijabulisa kuJehova,
ngikukhweze ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zomhlaba,
ngikuphe ukuba ulidle ifa likaJakobe uyihlo,”
ngokuba umlomo kaJehova ukukhulumile. - UNkulunkulu wabusisa usuku lwesikhombisa, walungcwelisa, ngokuba ngalolo suku waphumula emisebenzini yonke abeyidalile uNkulunkulu, wayenza.
- Kwathi edabula amasimu ngesabatha, abafundi bakhe baqala ukukha izikhwebu behamba. Base bethi kuye abaFarisi: “Bheka, bakwenzelani ngesabatha okungavunyelwe na?”
Wathi kubo: “Anizange nifunde yini akwenzayo uDavide mhla eswele, elambile yena nababe naye ukuthi wangena endlini kaNkulunkulu enkathini ka-Abiyathara umpristi omkhulu, wadla izinkwa zokubukwa ezingavunyelwe ukudliwa muntu, ngabapristi bodwa, wanika nababe naye, na?”
Wayesethi kubo: “Isabatha lenzelwa umuntu, umuntu akenzelwanga isabatha. Ngokunjalo iNdodana yomuntu iyinkosi neyesabatha.” - Pho-ke, umuntu udlula imvu kangakanani. Ngakho-ke kuvunyelwe ukwenza okuhle ngesabatha.
- Omunye wazisa olunye usuku kunolunye, omunye wazisa izinsuku zonke; yilowo nalowo akaqiniseke enhliziyweni yakhe.
- Ngakho makungabikho muntu onilahla ngokudla nesiphuzo, noma ngemikhosi, noma ukwethwasa kwenyanga, noma amasabatha, okuyisithunzi nje salokhu obekuzakuza; kepha umzimba ngokaKristu.
- Ngakho-ke kubasalele abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuphumula kwesabatha. Ngokuba ongenile ekuphumuleni kwakhe yena uphumula emisebenzini yakhe njengoNkulunkulu kweyakhe.
- Umsebenzi uyakwenziwa izinsuku eziyisithupha; kepha ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuyisabatha lokuphumula okuzothileyo, umhlangano ongcwele; ningasebenzi msebenzi; kuyisabatha kuJehova ezindlini zenu zonke.
- Anogcina amasabatha ami, nihloniphe indlu yami engcwele; nginguJehova.
- Ngakho-ke masikhuthalele ukungena kulokho kuphumula, ukuze kungawi muntu ngaleso siboniso sokungalaleli.
- Wayefundisa kwelinye lamasinagoge ngesabatha. Bheka, kwaba khona owesifazane onomoya wobuthakathaka iminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalombili, eseqhothile engenakululama nempela. Kwathi uJesu embona, wambiza, wathi kuye: “Mame, ukhululiwe ebuthakathakeni bakho.” Wabeka izandla phezu kwakhe; weluleka khona lapho, wamdumisa uNkulunkulu.
Umphathi wesinagoge, ecunukile ngokuba uJesu ephulukisile ngesabatha, waphendula, wathi kuso isixuku: “Kukhona izinsuku eziyisithupha okufanele ukusetshenzwa ngazo; ngakho-ke anoza ngazo, niphulukiswe, kungabi ngosuku lwesabatha.”
Kepha iNkosi yamphendula yathi: “Bazenzisi, kanti yilowo nalowo kini kayithukululi yini ngesabatha inkabi yakhe noma imbongolo yakhe emkhombeni, ayise ukuyoyiphuzisa, na? Kepha lona, eyindodakazi ka-Abrahama, uSathane abembophile, bhekani, iminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalombili, bekungafanele yini ukuba akhululwe kuleso sibopho ngosuku lwesabatha na?”
Wathi ukuba asho lokho, bajabha bonke ababemelene naye; isixuku sonke sathokoza ngemisebenzi yonke yenkazimulo eyenziwe nguye. - Wokhumbula ukuthi wawuyinceku ezweni laseGibithe nokuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakukhipha khona ngesandla esinamandla nangengalo eyeluliweyo; ngalokho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho wakuyala ukugcina usuku lwesabatha.
