6 “Ndimwe basi Yahova;+ imwe mwacita kudzulu, kudzulu kakamwe na pyonsene piri kweneko, pontho mwacita dziko yapantsi na pyonsene piri mwenemo, bara na pyonsene piri mwenemo. Ndimwe anakoya pyonsene toera pipitirize kukhala na umaso, pontho pinthu pyonsene pya kudzulu* pisakugodamirani.
7 Imwe ndimwe Yahova, Mulungu wandimomwene, mudasankhula Abhramu+ mbamum’bulusa ku Uri,+ dziko ya Kaldheya, mbamumpasa dzina ya Abhrahamu.+
8 Imwe mwaona kuti ntima wace ukhali wakukhulupirika kuna imwe.+ Na thangwi ineyi, mwacita cibverano na iye toera kupasa iye na anace*+ dziko ya Akanani, ya Aeti, ya Aamori, ya Aperesi, ya Ayebusi na dziko ya Ajirgasi, pontho imwe mwakwanirisa mapikiro anu thangwi ndimwe wakulungama.
9 “Imwe mwaona nyatwa zidatamba ambuyathu ku Ejitu,+ pontho mwabva kulira kwawo pa Bara Yakufuira.
10 Penepo, imwe mwacita pidzindikiro na pirengo toera kutcunyusa Farau na atumiki ace onsene,+ pabodzi na anthu onsene a mu dziko yace, thangwi imwe mukhadziwa kuti iwo athabusa+ mbumba yanu. Imwe mwapasika dzina yakuti isapitiriza mpaka lero.+
11 Imwe mwagawa bara pamaso pawo, natenepa, iwo awambuka bara mbakafamba pa mataka akuuma,+ pontho ale akhaatowera, mwaaponya m’madzi akuzika ninga mwala unaponywa m’madzi akubvunduka.+
12 Namasikati imwe mukhaatsogolera na khole, pontho namasiku mukhaatsogolera na moto, toera kumwanikira njira ikhafunika iwo kupita nayo.+
13 Imwe mwatcita Paphiri ya Sinai,+ mbamulonga na iwo kubulukira kudzulu,+ pontho mwaapasa mitemo yaulungami, miyambo yakunyindirika, matongero na pitsogolero pyadidi.+
14 Imwe mwaadziwisa pya Sabudu+ yanu yakucena, pontho mwaapasa matongero, mitemo na mwambo kubulukira mwa ntumiki wanu Mose.
15 Mu ndzidzi ukhali iwo na njala, imwe mwaapasa cakudya bulukira kudzulu.+ Mwabulusa madzi pamwala mbamuapasa toera amalise nyota yawo,+ pontho mwaapanga toera apite, mbakhala mu dziko ikhadapikira imwe toera kuapasa.
16 “Mbwenye ambuyathu acita pinthu mwakudzikuza,+ mbaumisa misolo yawo,+ pontho iwo nee abvera matongero anu.
17 Iwo akhonda kubvera,+ pontho nee akumbuka pirengo pyakudzumatirisa pidacita imwe pakati pawo, mbwenye iwo aumisa misolo yawo, mbasankhula ntsogoleri toera abwerere mu ubitcu ku Ejitu.+ Imwe ndimwe Mulungu wakuti ndzidzi onsene muli dzololo toera kulekerera, ndimwe wakukoma ntima na wakubvera ntsisi, wakupirira na wakudzala na ufuni,+ pontho imwe nee mwaasiya.+
18 Iwo acita dzimunthu ya utale yakulandana na mwanang’ombe, mbalonga kuti: ‘Uyu ndi Mulungu wathu adatibulusa ku Ejitu,’+ pontho iwo acita pinthu pikulu pinapangiza kusowa cilemedzo,
19 ngakhale tenepo, thangwi ya ntsisi zanu zikulu, nee mwaasiya n’thando.+ Khole yakuti ikhaatsogolera namasikati nee yabuluka pakati pawo, pontho moto ukhamwanikira njira ikhafuna kupita na iwo namasiku, nee wabuluka pakati pawo.+
20 Imwe mwaapasa nzimu wanu* toera acite pinthu mwaudziwisi,+ nee mwaakhondera mana,+ pontho mwaapasa madzi pikhali iwo na nyota.+
21 Mu pyaka 40 imwe mwaapasa cakudya n’thando.+ Iwo nee akhasowa cinthu. Nguwo zawo nee zikhasakala,+ pontho miyendo yawo nee ikhabzwimba.
22 “Imwe mwaapasa maumambo na mbumba, mwaagawiza mbuto,+ natenepa iwo akwata dziko ya Sihoni,+ yakuti ikhali dziko ya mambo Esibhoni,+ kuphatanizambo dziko ya Ogi,+ mambo wa Bhasani.
23 Pontho mwanjipisa anawo ninga nyenyezi zakudzulu.+ Buluka penepo, mwaaendesa ku dziko ikhadapikira imwe kuna ambuyawo kuti mbadaikwata, mbakhala mwenemo.+
24 Natenepa, iwo apita mbakwata dziko,+ pontho mwakunda Akanani+ pamaso pawo, akuti akakhala mu dziko ineyi, mbamuapereka m’manja mwawo. Mwaperekambo amambo na anthu akakhala mu dziko ineyi m’manja mwawo toera acite nawo pinthu pikhafuna iwo.
25 Iwo akunda mizinda yakutsidzikizwa mwadidi,+ mataka a ndimu,+ pontho iwo akwata nyumba zakudzala na pinthu pyonsene pyadidi, micera yakukumbwa kale, minda ya mauva, ya milivera+ na miti mizinji ya misapo. Natenepa, iwo adya, akhuta, akhuma, mbatsandzaya thangwi ya udidi wanu ukulu.
26 “Mbwenye iwo adzakhala akukhonda bvera, akusandukirani,+ mbapasira nkhodolo Mwambo wanu.* Iwo apha aprofeta anu akuti akhaacenjeza toera abwerere kuna imwe, pontho iwo acita pinthu pikulu pinapangiza kusowa cilemedzo.+
27 Na thangwi ineyi, mwaapereka m’manja mwa anyamalwa awo,+ akuti akhapitiriza kuathabusa.+ Mbwenye mu ndzidzi ukhathabuswa iwo akhakulirirani, imwe mukhaabvesera bulukira kudzulu. Pontho thangwi ya ntsisi zanu zikulu, imwe mukhaapasa anthu toera kuapulumusa m’manja mwa anyamalwa awo.+
28 “Mbwenye angamala kupulumuswa, iwo akhacita pontho pinthu pyakuipa pamaso panu,+ natenepa imwe mukhaasiya m’manja mwa anyamalwa awo, akuti akhaathabusa.*+ Penepo iwo akhabwerera kuna imwe, mbaphemba ciphedzo,+ pontho imwe mukhaabvesera bulukira kudzulu, mbamuapulumusa mwakubwereza-bwereza thangwi ya ntsisi zanu zikulu.+
29 Maseze imwe mwaacenjeza toera abvere pontho Mwambo wanu, iwo acita pinthu mwakudzikuza, mbakhonda kubvera matongero anu.+ Iwo adawa thangwi nee abvera matongero anu, akuti munthu angaatoweza asakhala na umaso.+ Iwo akupasirani nkhodolo, akhala akudzikuza, mbakhonda kubvesera.
30 Mu pyaka pizinji imwe mwapangiza kupirira kuna iwo,+ pontho imwe mwaphatisira aprofeta mbamupitiriza kuacenjeza na nzimu wanu, mbwenye iwo akhonda kubvera. Natenepa, imwe mwaapereka m’manja mwa anthu a madziko a dhuzi na iwo.+
31 Na ntsisi zanu zikulu, imwe nee mwaafudza+ peno kuasiya okhene, thangwi ndimwe Mulungu wadidi* na wantsisi.+
32 “Cincino, Mulungu wathu, Mulungu wankulu, wamphambvu na wakudzumatirisa wakuti asakwanirisa cibverano cace, mbapangiza ufuni,+ lekani kupwaza nyatwa zonsene zidatamba ife, amambo athu, atsogoleri athu,+ anyantsembe athu,+ aprofeta athu,+ ambuyathu na mbumba yanu yonsene kubulukira mu ntsiku za amambo a ku Asirya+ mpaka lero.
33 Imwe mwakhala wakulungama mu pinthu pyonsene pidaticitikira, thangwi mwacita pinthu mwakukhulupirika; mbwenye ife tacita pinthu pyakuipa.+
34 Amambo athu, atsogoleri athu, anyantsembe athu na ambuyathu nee abvera Mwambo wanu, pontho nee abvera matongero anu peno macenjezo adapereka imwe kuna iwo.
35 Ngakhale mu ndzidzi ukhatonga amambo athu, mbatsandzaya na udidi ukulu udapangiza imwe kuna iwo mu dziko ikulu na ya ndimu idaapasa imwe, iwo nee akutumikirani,+ pontho nee asiya pinthu pyakuipa pikhacita iwo.
36 Na thangwi ineyi, lero ife ndife mabitcu+ mu dziko idapereka imwe kuna ambuyathu toera adye misapo na pinthu pyadidi pya dziko ineyi.
37 Pinthu pizinji pinalimwa mu dziko ino, pisaperekwa kuna amambo adakhazikisa imwe thangwi ya madawo athu.+ Iwo asatonga ife* pabodzi na pifuyo pyathu ninga munafunira iwo, pontho ife tiri pa nyatwa ikulu kakamwe.
38 “Natenepa, thangwi ya pyenepi pyonsene, ife tiri kucita cibverano+ cakufunika kakamwe cakulembwa, pontho caikhwa cidzindikiro ca atsogoleri athu, Alevi athu na anyantsembe athu+ toera kupangiza kuti ndi candimomwene.”
