The judge ordered the witness to tell the truth.
The verb "said" is replaced with "ordered" because it's a command.
The structure "to tell" is used in the indirect speech, and the tense remains the same.
An indirect object tells to whom or for whom the action is done.
Example: She gave him a gift. ('him' is the indirect object).
Direct Speech: He said, 'By God I am not guilty'.
Indirect speech: He swore by God that he was not guilty.
