Uye Mwari akataura mashoko aya ose akati:
2 NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyakukhupha elizweni leGibhithe, endlini yobugqili.
“Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, akakubudisa kubva muIjipiti, munyika youranda.
3 Ungabi labanye onkulunkulu phambi kwami.
“Usava navamwe vamwari kunze kwangu.
4 Ungazenzeli isithombe esibaziweyo loba yiwuphi umfanekiso wokusemazulwini phezulu, loba wokusemhlabeni phansi, loba wokusemanzini ngaphansi komhlaba;
Usazviitira mufananidzo wechinhu chipi zvacho chiri kudenga kumusoro kana wechiri panyika pasi kana wechiri mumvura.
5 ungakukhothameli, ungakukhonzi; ngoba mina iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, nginguNkulunkulu olobukhwele, ngiphindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana, kuze kube sesizukulwaneni sesithathu lesesine sabangizondayo,
Usazvipfugamira kana kuzvinamata, nokuti ini Jehovha Mwari wako, ndiri Mwari ane godo, ndinoranga vana nokuda kwechivi chamadzibaba kusvikira kuchizvarwa chechitatu nechechina cheavo vanondivenga,
6 kodwa ngibenzela umusa abayizinkulungwane zabangithandayo lezabagcina imilayo yami.
asi ndicharatidza rudo kuzvizvarwa zvine chiuru, avo vanondida uye vanochengeta mirayiro yangu.
7 Ungaliphathi ngeze ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ngoba iNkosi kayiyikumyekela engelacala ophatha ibizo layo ngeze.
Usareva zita raJehovha Mwari wako pasina nokuti Jehovha haazoregi kupa mhosva munhu upi zvake anoreva zita rake pasina.
8 Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ukulugcina lube ngcwele.
Rangarira zuva reSabata kuti urichengete riri dzvene.
9 Insuku eziyisithupha uzasebenza, uwenze wonke umsebenzi wakho;
Uchashanda mazuva matanhatu nokuita basa rako rose,
10 kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa lulisabatha leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho; ungenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalo, wena lendodana yakho lendodakazi yakho, inceku yakho lencekukazi yakho lezifuyo zakho lowemzini wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho.
asi zuva rechinomwe iSabata kuna Jehovha Mwari wako. Pazuva iroro hamufaniri kuita basa ripi zvaro, iwe kana mwanakomana wako, kana mwanasikana wako, murandarume wako kana murandakadzi wako, uye zvipfuwo zvako kana mutorwa ari mukati mamasuo ako.
11 Ngoba ngensuku eziyisithupha iNkosi yenza amazulu lomhlaba lolwandle lakho konke okukukho, yasiphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa; ngalokhu iNkosi yalubusisa usuku lwesabatha, yalungcwelisa.
Nokuti mumazuva matanhatu Jehovha akaita matenga nenyika, gungwa, nezvose zviri mariri, asi akazorora nomusi wechinomwe. Naizvozvo Jehovha akaropafadza zuva reSabata akariita dzvene.
12 Hlonipha uyihlo lonyoko, ukuze insuku zakho zelulwe elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika lona.
Kudza baba vako namai vako, kuti ugorarama mazuva mazhinji munyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
13 Ungabulali.
Usauraya.
14 Ungafebi.
Usaita upombwe.
15 Ungebi.
Usaba.
16 Unganiki ubufakazi bamanga ngomakhelwane wakho.
Usapupurira muvakidzani wako nhema.
17 Ungafisi indlu kamakhelwane wakho, ungafisi umkamakhelwane wakho, lenceku yakhe, lencekukazi yakhe, lenkabi yakhe, lobabhemi wakhe, njalo loba yini ekamakhelwane wakho.
Usachiva imba yomuvakidzani wako. Usachiva mukadzi womuvakidzani wako, kana murandarume wake, kana murandakadzi wake, kana nzombe yake, kana mbongoro yake, kana chinhu chipi zvacho chomuvakidzani wako.”
18 Bonke abantu basebebona imidumo lemibane lelizwi lophondo, lentaba ithunqa. Kwathi abantu bekubona bathuthumela, bema khatshana;
Vanhu vakati vaona mheni nokutinhira uye vanzwa hwamanda, uye vaona gomo richipfungaira utsi, vakadedera nokutya. Vakagara vari chinhambwe
19 bathi kuMozisi: Khuluma wena lathi, njalo sizakuzwa; kodwa uNkulunkulu kangakhulumi lathi hlezi sife.
vakati kuna Mozisi, “Taura iwe kwatiri uye tichakuteerera. Asi usarega Mwari achitaura nesu, kuti tirege kufa.”
20 UMozisi wasesithi ebantwini: Lingesabi; ngoba uNkulunkulu ufikile ukuze alilinge, lokuze ukwesabeka kwakhe kube phambi kwenu, ukuze lingoni.
Mozisi akati kuvanhu, “Musatya. Mwari auya kuzokuedzai, kuitira kuti kutya Mwari kugova nemi, kuti murege kutadza.”
21 Abantu bema-ke khatshana; kodwa uMozisi wasondela emnyameni onzima lapho uNkulunkulu ayekhona.
Vanhu vakaramba vari chinhambwe, Mozisi paakanga achiswedera kurima gobvu kwakanga kuna Mwari.
22 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: Lina selibonile ukuthi ngikhulume lani ngisemazulwini.
Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Taurira vaIsraeri kuti, ‘Mazvionera pachenyu kuti ndataura kwamuri ndiri kudenga ndikati:
23 Kaliyikwenza kanye lami onkulunkulu besiliva, njalo onkulunkulu begolide kaliyikuzenzela.
Musaita vamwari vapi zvavo kunze kwangu; musazviitira vamwari vesirivha kana vamwari vegoridhe.
24 Ngenzela ilathi lenhlabathi, unikele phezu kwalo iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa leminikelo yakho yokuthula, izimvu zakho lenkabi zakho. Kuyo yonke indawo lapho engilenza ibizo lami ukuthi likhunjulwe khona ngizakuza kuwe ngikubusise.
“‘Mundiitire aritari yevhu mugobayira pamusoro payo zvipiriso zvinopiswa uye zvipiriso zvokuwadzana, makwai enyu, mbudzi dzenyu nemombe dzenyu. Pose pandichaita kuti zita rangu rikudzwe, ndichauya kwamuri ndigokuropafadzai.
25 Kodwa uba ungenzela ilathi lamatshe, awuyikulakha ngamatshe abaziweyo; ngoba nxa uphakamisela kulo insimbi yakho yokubaza, uyalingcolisa.
Kana muchindiitira aritari yamabwe, musaivaka namabwe akavezwa, nokuti mungazoisvibisa kana mukashandisa mbezo pairi.
26 Awuyikukhwela phezu kwelathi lami ngezikhwelo, ukuze ubunqunu bakho bungembulwa phezu kwalo.
Uye musakwira kuaritari yangu namatanho, kuti kusasimira kwenyu kurege kuonekwa muri pairi.’
