8 “Uzisunga tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika.
9 Uzigwira ntchito zako zonse masiku asanu ndi limodzi.
10 Koma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ndi Sabata, tsiku loperekedwa kwa Yehova Mulungu wako. Tsiku limeneli musagwire ntchito iliyonse, inuyo kapena mwana wanu wamwamuna kapena mwana wanu wamkazi, wantchito wanu wamwamuna kapena mdzakazi wanu, ziweto zanu kapena mlendo amene akukhala mʼmudzi mwanu.

18 Pamene anthu ankamva mabingu ndi kuona ziphaliwali ndi kumvanso lipenga ndi kuona utsi umene umafuka mʼphiri, ananjenjemera ndi mantha. Ndipo iwo anayima patali.
19 Ndipo anati kwa Mose, “Iwe utiyankhule ndipo tidzamvera. Koma usalole kuti Mulungu atiyankhule, tingafe.”
20 Koma Mose anati kwa anthuwo, “Musachite mantha. Mulungu wabwera kudzakuyesani kuti mukhale ndi mtima woopa Mulungu kuti musamuchimwire.”
21 Anthu aja anayima patali koma Mose anayandikira mtambo wakuda kumene kunali Mulungu.
22 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Awuze izi Aisraeli: ‘Inu mwaona nokha kuti Ine ndakuyankhulani kuchokera kumwamba.
23 Choncho musadzipangire milungu yasiliva kapena yagolide kuti muziyipembedza pamodzi ndi Ine.’”
24 Mundimangire guwa ladothi ndipo muziperekapo nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano, nkhosa, mbuzi ndi ngʼombe zanu. Pamalo paliponse pamene Ine ndidzakonza kuti muzinditamandirapo, ndidzabwera ndi kukudalitsani.
25 Ngati mudzandimangira guwa lansembe lamiyala, musagwiritse ntchito miyala yosema, pakuti mudzalidetsa mukadzagwiritsa ntchito zida.
26 Musamakwere pa makwerero popita pa guwa langa lansembe kuti mungaonetse maliseche anu.
