3 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, lankhula ndi akuluakulu a Isiraeliwo ndipo uwauze kuti, ‘Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Kodi amuna inu mwabweradi kudzafunsira kwa ine?+ ‘Pali ine Mulungu wamoyo, sindilola kuti inu mufunsire kwa ine,’+ watero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa.”’
4 “Kodi ndiwe wokonzeka kuwaweruza? Kodi uwaweruza, iwe mwana wa munthu?+ Auze zinthu zonyansa zimene makolo awo anachita.+
5 Uwauze kuti, ‘Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Pa tsiku limene ndinasankha Isiraeli,+ ndinakweza mkono wanga+ polumbirira mbewu ya nyumba ya Yakobo+ ndi kuwachititsa kuti andidziwe m’dziko la Iguputo.+ Inde, ndinakweza mkono wanga ndi kuwalumbirira kuti, ‘Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’+
6 Pa tsiku limenelo ndinakweza dzanja langa+ powalumbirira kuti ndidzawatulutsa m’dziko la Iguputo kupita nawo kudziko limene ndinaliyendera kuti iwo akakhalemo, dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi.+ Linali dziko lokongola kwambiri kuposa mayiko onse.+
7 Ine ndinawauza kuti, ‘Aliyense wa inu ataye zinthu zake zonyansa zimene amaziyang’anitsitsa pozilambira+ ndipo musadziipitse ndi mafano onyansa a ku Iguputo.+ Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’+
8 “‘“Koma iwo anayamba kundipandukira+ ndipo sanafune kundimvera. Aliyense wa iwo sanataye zinthu zonyansa zimene anali kuziyang’anitsitsa pozilambira ndipo sanasiye mafano onyansa a ku Iguputo.+ Choncho ine ndinatsimikiza mtima kuwatsanulira mkwiyo wanga kuti ukali wanga uthere pa iwo m’dziko la Iguputo.+
9 Koma ine ndinachita zinthu molemekeza dzina langa kuti lisadetsedwe pamaso pa anthu a mitundu ina amene iwo anali kukhala pakati pawo,+ pakuti ndinawachititsa kuti andidziwe pamaso pa anthu a mitundu inawo powatulutsa m’dziko la Iguputo.+
10 Chotero ndinawatulutsa m’dziko la Iguputo ndi kuwalowetsa m’chipululu.+
11 “‘“Kumeneko ndinawapatsa malamulo+ ndi kuwadziwitsa zigamulo zanga,+ kuti munthu amene akuzitsatira akhalebe ndi moyo.+
12 Ndinawapatsanso sabata langa+ kuti likhale chizindikiro pakati pa ine ndi iwowo.+ Ndinachita zimenezi n’cholinga choti adziwe kuti ine Yehova, ndiye amene ndikuwapatula.
13 “‘“Koma iwowo, a nyumba ya Isiraeli, anandipandukira m’chipululu.+ Iwo sanayende motsatira malamulo anga+ ndipo anakana zigamulo zanga+ zimene munthu akamazitsatira, amakhala ndi moyo.+ Sabata langa analidetsa kwambiri,+ moti ndinatsimikiza mtima kuwatsanulira mkwiyo wanga m’chipululu kuti ndiwafafanize.+
14 Koma ndinachita zinthu molemekeza dzina langa kuti lisadetsedwe pamaso pa mitundu ya anthu amene anaona ndikutulutsa anthu anga pakati pawo.+
15 Ine ndinakweza dzanja langa powalumbirira m’chipululu+ kuti sindidzawalowetsa m’dziko limene ndinawapatsa, dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi,+ (dziko lokongola kwambiri kuposa mayiko onse)+
16 chifukwa anakana zigamulo zanga, sanayende motsatira malamulo anga, anadetsa sabata langa komanso mtima wawo unali pa mafano awo onyansa.+
17 “‘“Maso anga anayamba kuwamvera chisoni kuti ndisawawononge,+ chotero sindinawafafanize m’chipululu.
18 Choncho ndinauza ana awo m’chipululu kuti,+ ‘Musayende motsatira malamulo a makolo anu,+ ndipo musasunge zigamulo zawo.+ Musadziipitse ndi mafano awo onyansa.+
19 Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.+ Yendani motsatira malamulo anga+ ndipo musunge zigamulo zanga+ ndi kuzitsatira.+
20 Muzisunga sabata langa kuti likhale lopatulika+ ndipo likhale chizindikiro pakati pa ine ndi inu, kuti mudziwe kuti ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’+
21 “‘“Koma anawo anayamba kundipandukira.+ Sanayende motsatira malamulo anga ndipo sanasunge ndi kutsatira zigamulo zanga, zimene ngati munthu atazitsatira angakhale ndi moyo.+ Iwo anadetsa sabata langa,+ choncho ndinatsimikiza mtima kuwatsanulira mkwiyo wanga, kuti ukali wanga uthere pa iwo m’chipululu.+
22 Ine ndinabweza dzanja langa+ ndi kuchita zinthu molemekeza dzina langa kuti lisadetsedwe pamaso pa mitundu ya anthu amene anaona ndikutulutsa anthu anga pakati pawo.+
23 Komanso ndinakweza dzanja langa powalumbirira m’chipululu,+ kuti ndidzawabalalitsira ku mitundu ya anthu ndi kuwamwazira m’mayiko osiyanasiyana,+
24 chifukwa chakuti sanatsatire zigamulo zanga,+ anakana malamulo anga,+ anadetsa sabata langa+ komanso maso awo anali pa mafano onyansa a makolo awo.+
25 Chifukwa cha zimenezi ine ndinawalola kutsatira malamulo oipa ndi zigamulo zimene sizikanawathandiza kukhala ndi moyo.+
26 Ndinawalola kudziipitsa ndi mphatso zawo pamene anali kuponya pamoto* mwana aliyense woyamba kubadwa.+ Ndinachita zimenezi kuti ndiwasautse n’cholinga choti adziwe kuti ine ndine Yehova.”’+
27 “Choncho iwe mwana wa munthu, lankhula ndi nyumba ya Isiraeli ndipo uwauze kuti,+ ‘Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Makolo anu anandilankhulira mawu onyoza pamene anali kundichitira zinthu mosakhulupirika.+
28 Komabe ine ndinawalowetsa m’dziko+ limene ndinawalumbirira nditakweza dzanja langa kuti ndidzawapatsa.+ Koma ataona phiri lililonse lalitali+ ndi mtengo uliwonse wanthambi zambiri, anayamba kupereka nsembe zawo pamenepo+ ndi zopereka zawo zochititsa mseru. Analinso kufukiza nsembe zafungo lokhazika mtima pansi+ ndi kuthira nsembe zawo zachakumwa pamalo amenewo.+
29 Choncho ndinawafunsa kuti, ‘Kodi malo okwezekawa ndi a chiyani? Kodi mumachitako chiyani kumeneko kuti malowo azitchedwa kuti Malo Okwezeka mpaka lero?’”’+
30 “Tsopano uza nyumba ya Isiraeli kuti, ‘Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Kodi anthu inu mukudziipitsa potsatira njira za makolo anu?+ Kodi mukutsatira zinthu zawo zonyansa ndi kuchita zachiwerewere ndi mafano amenewo?+
31 Kodi mukudziipitsa polemekeza mafano anu onse onyansa mpaka lero,+ popereka mphatso zanu mwa kuponya pamoto ana anu aamuna?+ Kodi pa nthawi imodzimodziyo ndilole kuti mufunsire kwa ine, inu anthu a nyumba ya Isiraeli?”’+
“‘Pali ine Mulungu wamoyo, sindilola kuti mufunsire kwa ine,’+ watero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa.
32 ‘Ndithu zimene mukuganiza+ sizichitika.+ Inu mukunena kuti: “Tiyeni tikhale ngati anthu a mitundu ina. Tikhale ngati mabanja a m’mayiko ena+ potumikira mitengo ndi miyala.”’”+
33 “‘Pali ine Mulungu wamoyo,’ watero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, ‘ndidzakhala mfumu yanu ndipo ndidzakulamulirani ndi dzanja lamphamvu, mkono wotambasula+ ndi mkwiyo wosefukira.+
34 Ndidzakuchotsani pakati pa mitundu ya anthu ndipo ndidzakusonkhanitsani pamodzi kuchokera kumayiko amene munabalalikirako. Ndidzakusonkhanitsani ndi dzanja lamphamvu, mkono wotambasula ndi mkwiyo wosefukira.+
35 Ndidzakulowetsani m’chipululu cha mitundu ya anthu+ ndipo kumeneko ndidzatsutsana nanu pamasom’pamaso.+
36 “‘Monga mmene ndinatsutsirana ndi makolo anu m’chipululu cha dziko la Iguputo,+ ndidzatsutsananso ndi inu,’ watero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa.
37 ‘Ndidzakudutsitsani pansi pa ndodo ya m’busa+ ndi kuchita nanu pangano lolimba.+
38 Ndidzachotsa pakati panu anthu ondipandukira ndi ondichimwira.+ Pakuti ndidzawatulutsa m’dziko limene akukhalamo monga alendo, koma sadzalowa m’dziko la Isiraeli,+ ndipo anthu inu mudzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yehova.’+
39 “Inu a nyumba ya Isiraeli, Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti, ‘Pitani, aliyense wa inu akatumikire mafano ake onyansawo.+ Pambuyo pake, ngati simundimvera ndidzakusiyani ndipo simudzadetsanso dzina langa loyera ndi mphatso zanu ndiponso mafano anu onyansa.’+
40 “‘Nyumba yonse ya Isiraeli idzanditumikira m’phiri langa loyera,+ phiri lalitali la m’dziko la Isiraeli,’+ watero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa. ‘Kumeneko ndidzasangalala nawo ndipo ndidzafuna zopereka zanu ndi nsembe zanu za zinthu zoyambirira kucha pa zinthu zanu zonse zopatulika.+
41 Ndikadzakutulutsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndi kukusonkhanitsani pamodzi kuchokera m’mayiko osiyanasiyana kumene munabalalikira,+ ndidzasangalala nanu chifukwa cha nsembe zanu zafungo lokhazika mtima pansi,+ ndipo ndidzakhala woyera chifukwa cha inu pamaso pa anthu a mitundu ina.’+
42 “‘Ndikadzakulowetsani m’dziko la Isiraeli,+ dziko limene ndinalumbira nditakweza dzanja kuti ndidzalipereka kwa makolo anu, anthu inu mudzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yehova.+
43 Ndithu kumeneko mudzakumbukira njira zanu+ ndi zochita zanu zonse zimene munali kudziipitsa nazo.+ Mukadzakumbukira zimenezi, mudzachita manyazi ochita kuonekera pankhope zanu chifukwa cha zoipa zonse zimene munachita.+
44 Ndikadzachitapo kanthu chifukwa cha dzina langa,+ inu mudzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yehova.+ Inu a nyumba ya Isiraeli, ine sindidzachitapo kanthu mogwirizana ndi njira zanu zoipa kapena zochita zanu zosayenera,’+ watero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa.”
45 Ndiyeno Yehova anapitiriza kulankhula nane kuti:
46 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, yang’ana+ ku mbali ya kum’mwera ndipo ulankhule+ mawu onena za kumeneko. Ulosere kunkhalango ya dziko la kum’mwera.
47 Uuze nkhalango ya kum’mwerayo kuti, ‘Imva mawu a Yehova. Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Ine ndikukuyatsa moto.+ Motowo unyeketsa mtengo uliwonse wauwisi ndi mtengo uliwonse wouma.+ Malawi a motowo sadzatheka kuwazimitsa,+ ndipo nkhope zonse,* kuchokera kum’mwera mpaka kumpoto zidzapsa ndi moto.+
48 Anthu onse adzaona kuti ine Yehova ndaiyatsa moto nkhalangoyo ndipo sudzatheka kuuzimitsa.”’”+
49 Ine ndinanena kuti: “Kalanga ine, Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa! Iwo akundinena kuti, ‘Kodi si miyambi imene akunenayi?’”+
