“‘Musaita zvifananidzo kana kumisa chifananidzo kana ibwe rinoyera kwamuri, uye musaisa dombo rakavezwa munyika yenyu kuti mukotamire pamberi paro. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
2 Gcinani amasabatha ami, lihloniphe indlu yami engcwele. NgiyiNkosi.

3 Uba lihamba ngezimiso zami, ligcine imilayo yami, liyenze,
“‘Kana mukatevera mitemo yangu uye mukachenjerera kuti muteerere mirayiro yangu,
4 khona ngizanika izulu lenu ngesikhathi salo, lelizwe lizaveza isivuno salo, lezihlahla zeganga zithele isithelo sazo.
ndichakutumirai mvura nenguva yayo, uye ivhu richabereka zvirimwa zvaro uye miti yesango ichabereka michero yayo.
5 Lesikhathi sokubhula kwenu sizafinyelela esikhathini sokuvuna amavini, lesikhathi sokuvuna amavini sizafinyelela esikhathini sokuhlanyela; njalo lizakudla ukudla kwenu lize lisuthe, lihlale livikelekile elizweni lakini.
Kupura kwenyu kuchasvika pakukohwa mazambiringa uye kukohwa mazambiringa kuchasvika pakudyara, uye muchadya zvose zvamunoda uye mugogara makachengetedzeka munyika menyu.
6 Njalo ngizanika ukuthula elizweni, lilale futhi kungelamuntu owethusayo, njalo ngisuse inyamazana ezimbi elizweni, lenkemba kayiyikudabula elizweni lakini.
“‘Ndichapa rugare panyika, uye muchavata pasi pasina achakuvhundutsai. Ndichabvisa zvikara zvesango panyika, uye munondo haungazopfuuri nomunyika yenyu.
7 Njalo lizaxotsha izitha zenu, zizakuwa-ke phambi kwenu ngenkemba.
Muchadzinganisa vavengi venyu, uye vachawa nomunondo pamberi penyu.
8 Labahlanu benu bazaxotsha ikhulu, labalikhulu benu bazaxotsha inkulungwane ezilitshumi; lezitha zenu zizakuwa phambi kwenu ngenkemba.
Vashanu venyu vachadzinganisa zana, uye zana renyu richadzinganisa zviuru gumi uye vavengi venyu vachawa nomunondo pamberi penyu.
9 Njalo ngizaphendukela kini, ngilenze ukuthi lizale, ngilandise, ngimise isivumelwano sami lani.
“‘Ndichakutarisai nenyasha uye ndichaita kuti muve nezvibereko uye muwande, uye ndichachengeta sungano yangu nemi.
10 Lizakudla-ke okudala okugciniweyo, likhuphe okudala ngenxa yokutsha.
Muchange muchiri kudya gohwo regore rakapera pamuchazobvisa kuti muise zvitsva.
11 Njalo ngizamisa ithabhanekele lami phakathi kwenu, lomphefumulo wami kawuyikunengwa yini.
Ndichadzika tabhenakeri yangu pakati penyu uye handizokusemai.
12 Ngizahambahamba-ke phakathi kwenu, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu, lina libe ngabantu bami.
Ndichafamba pakati penyu ndigova Mwari wenyu, uye muchava vanhu vangu.
13 NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu owalikhupha elizweni leGibhithe ukuze lingabi yizigqili zabo; ngephule izikeyi zejogwe lenu, ngenze ukuthi lihambe leluleme.
Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, ndakakubudisai kubva munyika yeIjipiti kuti musazova varanda kuvaIjipita zvakare, ndakatyora matanda ejoko renyu ndikakufambisai makati twi.
14 Kodwa uba lingangilaleli, lingayenzi yonke le imilayo,
“‘Asi kana mukasanditeerera uye mukasaita zvose izvi zvandinorayira,
15 njalo uba lidelela izimiso zami, njalo uba umphefumulo wenu unengwa yizahlulelo zami, ukuze lingenzi yonke imilayo yami, ukwephula isivumelwano sami,
uye mukaramba mitemo yangu, mukasema mirayiro yangu, mukatadza kuzadzisa zvose zvandakarayira, saizvozvo mukaputsa sungano yangu,
16 lami ngizakwenza lokhu kini: Ngizamisa phezu kwenu ukwesaba okukhulu, isifo esicakisayo, lomkhuhlane, okuqeda amehlo, okwenza impilo iphele. Njalo inhlanyelo yenu lizayihlanyelela ize, ngoba izitha zenu zizayidla.
ipapo ndichaita izvi kwamuri: Ndichauyisa pamusoro penyu zvinotyisa, zvirwere zvinoparadza nedenda richaparadza meso enyu, uye rigokusvetai upenyu hwenyu. Muchadyarira zviyo zvenyu pasina nokuti vavengi venyu vachazvidya.
17 Njalo ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lani, njalo litshaywe phambi kwezitha zenu. Labalizondayo bazalibusa, libaleke kungelamuntu olixotshayo.
Chiso changu chichanangana nemi zvokuti muchakundwa navavengi venyu. Avo vanokuvengai vachakutongai, uye muchatiza kunyange pasina anokudzinganisai.
18 Kodwa uba ngalezizinto lingangilaleli, ngizakwengeza ngilijezise kasikhombisa ngenxa yezono zenu,
“‘Kana mukasanditeerera mushure maizvozvi zvose, ndichakurangai kakapetwa kanomwe nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu.
19 ngephule ukuziphakamisa kwamandla enu, ngenze isibhakabhaka senu sibe njengensimbi, lomhlabathi wenu njengethusi;
Ndichaputsa kuzvikudza kwenyu ndigoita kuti denga renyu rive sesimbi, uye ivhu riri pasi penyu sendarira.
20 lamandla enu azachithelwa ize, ngoba ilizwe lenu kaliyikuveza isivuno salo, lezihlahla zelizwe kaziyikuthela isithelo sazo.
Simba renyu richaperera pasina nokuti ivhu renyu harizobereki zvibereko, kana miti yenyika yenyu, michero yayo.
21 Uba-ke lihamba ngokuphambene lami, lingafuni ukungilalela, ngizakwengezelela kini inhlupheko kasikhombisa ngokwezono zenu.
“‘Kana mukaramba muchirwisana neni uye mukaramba kunditeerera, ndichawedzera matambudziko enyu zvakapetwa kanomwe, sezvakafanira zvivi zvenyu.
22 Ngizathumela phakathi kwenu izilo zeganga ezizalemuka abantwana benu, zichithe izifuyo zenu, zilenze libe balutshwana, lezindlela zenu zibe yinkangala.
Ndichatuma zvikara zvesango kuti zvizokurwisai, uye zvichakutorerai vana venyu, zvigoparadza mombe dzenyu zvigokuitai vashoma zvokuti nzira dzenyu dzichasara dzisina vanhu.
23 Njalo uba lingavumi ukuxwayiswa yimi ngalezizinto, kodwa lihamba ngokuphambene lami,
“‘Ipapo kana musingadi kudzorwa neni pazvinhu izvi, asi mukaramba muchirwisana neni,
24 lami ngizahamba ngokuphambene lani, lami ngilitshaye kasikhombisa ngenxa yezono zenu.
ini pachangu ndicharwisana nemi, uye ndichakurangai kakapetwa kanomwe nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu.
25 Ngizakwehlisela inkemba phezu kwenu ezaphindisela impindiselo yesivumelwano. Uba libuthana emizini yenu, ngizathumela umatshayabhuqe wesifo phakathi kwenu, njalo linikelwe esandleni sesitha.
Uye ndichauyisa munondo wehondo pamusoro penyu kuti unditsivire kuputswa kwesungano. Kana mukatizira mumaguta enyu ndichatumira denda pakati penyu, uye muchaiswa mumaoko avavengi.
26 Lapho ngilephulela udondolo lwesinkwa, abesifazana abalitshumi bazabhaka isinkwa senu eziko elilodwa, babuyise isinkwa senu ngesisindo; njalo lizakudla, kodwa lingasuthi.
Kana ndikamisa mugove wenyu wechingwa, vakadzi gumi vachagona kubika chingwa chenyu pachoto chimwe chete, uye vachakanya chingwa chenyu zviri pamwero. Muchadya, asi hamungaguti.
27 Kodwa uba lingangilaleli kulokhu, lihambe ngokuphambene lami,
“‘Mushure maizvozvi, mukaramba musinganditeereri asi mukaramba muchienderera mberi nokundirwisa,
28 lami ngizahamba ngokuphambene lani ngilentukuthelo, lami ngilijezise kasikhombisa ngenxa yezono zenu.
ipapo mukutsamwa kwangu ndicharwisana nemi, uye ini pachangu ndichakurangai nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu kakapetwa kanomwe.
29 Njalo lizakudla inyama yamadodana enu lenyama yamadodakazi enu lizayidla.
Muchadya nyama yavanakomana venyu nenyama yavanasikana venyu.
30 Njalo ngizachitha indawo zenu eziphakemeyo, ngidilize amalathi enu elanga, ngiphosele izidumbu zenu phezu kwezidumbu zezithombe zenu, lomphefumulo wami unengwe yini.
Ndichaparadza nzvimbo dzenyu dzakakwirira, ndigotemera pasi aritari dzenyu dzezvinonhuhwira uye ndigounganidza zvitunha zvenyu pamusoro pavamwari venyu vasina upenyu, uye ndichakusemai.
31 Ngizakwenza-ke imizi yenu ibe lunxiwa, ngidilize izindlu zenu ezingcwele; kangiyikunuka uqhatshi lwenu olumnandi.
Ndichaita kuti maguta enyu ave matongo uye ndigoparadza nzvimbo dzenyu tsvene, uye handizofariri munhuwi unonhuhwira zvinofadza wezvipiriso zvenyu.
32 Mina-ke ngizachitha ilizwe ukuze izitha zenu ezihlala kulo zikhakhamale ngalo.
Ndichaparadza nyika yenyu, zvokuti vavengi venyu vanogaramo vachashamiswa.
33 Njalo ngizalihlakazela ezizweni, ngihwatshe inkemba emva kwenu; lelizwe lakini lizakuba yincithakalo, lemizi yenu ibe lunxiwa.
Ndichakuparadzirai pakati pendudzi uye ndichabudisa munondo wangu ndigokudzingirirai. Nyika yenyu ichaparara, uye maguta enyu achava matongo.
34 Khona ilizwe lizathokoza ngamasabatha alo zonke izinsuku zencithakalo, liselizweni lezitha zenu; khona ilizwe lizaphumula, lithokoze ngamasabatha alo.
Ipapo nyika ichafarira makore ayo esabata panguva yose yokuparadzwa kwayo pamunenge muri munyika yavavengi venyu; ipapo nyika ichazorora igofadzwa namasabata ayo.
35 Zonke insuku zencithakalo lizaphumula, ngoba kaliphumulanga ngamasabatha enu lisahlala kilo.
Panguva yose yokuparadzwa kwayo nyika ichava nezororo rayakashayiwa pamasabata panguva yamakararama mairi.
36 Mayelana lalabo abaseleyo phakathi kwenu, ngizathuma ubuthakathaka enhliziyweni zabo emazweni ezitha zabo; lomsindo wehlamvu eliphephukayo uzabaxotsha, bazabaleka njengomuntu obalekela inkemba, bawe kungelamuntu obaxotshayo.
“‘Kana vari vamwe venyu vanosara, ndichaita kuti hana dzavo dzizare nokutya munyika dzavavengi vavo zvokuti kurira kweshizha rinopeperetswa nemhepo kuchaita kuti vatize. Vachamhanya vachiwirana sokunge vari kutiza munondo, vachawa kunyange pasina ari kuvadzinganisa.
37 Bazakhubeka omunye phezu komunye kungathi kuphambi kwenkemba, kungelamuntu obaxotshayo. Kaliyikuba lakho ukuma phambi kwezitha zenu.
Vachabonderana sokunge vanotiza munondo, kunyange pasina anovadzinganisa. Saka hamuzogoni kumira pamberi pavavengi venyu.
38 Njalo lizabhubha phakathi kwezizwe, lelizwe lezitha zenu lizakulidla.
Muchaparara pakati pendudzi; nyika yavavengi venyu ichakuparadzai.
39 Labaseleyo phakathi kwenu bazacikizeka ebubini babo emazweni ezitha zabo, yebo lebubini baboyise bazacikizeka kanye labo.
Avo pakati penyu vachasara, vachaonda munyika dzavavengi vavo nokuda kwezvivi zvavo; uye vachaonda nokuda kwezvivi zvamadzibaba avo.
40 Uba bezavuma ububi babo lobubi baboyise, lesiphambeko sabo abaphambeka ngaso kimi, yebo futhi ukuthi bahambe ngokuphambene lami,
“‘Asi kana vakareurura zvivi zvavo nezvivi zvamadzibaba avo, kundimukira kwavo noruvengo rwavo kwandiri,
41 lami ngihambe ngokuphambene labo, ngibase elizweni lezitha zabo. Uba ngalesosikhathi inhliziyo yabo engasokanga izathotshiswa, langalesosikhathi bemukele ngokuthokoza ukutshaywa ngenxa yobubi babo,
zvakaita kuti ndivarwise kusvikira ndavaendesa kunyika yavavengi vavo, ipapo kana mwoyo yavo isina kudzingiswa yaninipiswa, varipira zvivi zvavo,
42 khona ngizakhumbula isivumelwano sami loJakobe, yebo lesivumelwano sami loIsaka, yebo lesivumelwano sami loAbrahama ngisikhumbule, lelizwe ngilikhumbule.
ndicharangarira sungano yangu naJakobho nesungano yangu naIsaka uye nesungano yangu naAbhurahama; uye ndicharangarira nyika iyi.
43 Lelizwe lizatshiywa yibo, lithokoze ngamasabatha alo lisachithekile lingelabo. Bona bazakwemukela ngokuthokoza ukutshaywa ngenxa yobubi babo, ngoba, yebo ngoba badelela izahlulelo zami, lomphefumulo wabo wanengwa yizimiso zami.
Nokuti nyika yavachasiya icharamba ichifarira masabata ayo kunyange yaparadzwa saizvozvo vasimo. Vacharipira zvivi zvavo nokuti vakaramba mirayiro yangu vakasema mitemo yangu.
44 Kanti-ke lalokhu, lapho beselizweni lezitha zabo, kangiyikubadelela, futhi kangiyikunengwa yibo ukuze ngibaqothule, ngephule isivumelwano sami labo, ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo.
Asi kunyange zvakadaro, kana vari munyika yavavengi vavo, handizovarambi kana kuvasema kuti ndivaparadze zvachose, ndichiputsa sungano yangu navo. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo.
45 Kodwa ngizabakhumbulela isivumelwano sabokhokho babo engabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe phambi kwamehlo ezizwe, ukuze ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo. NgiyiNkosi.
Asi nokuda kwavo ndicharangarira sungano yandakaita namadzitateguru avo vandakabudisa kubva muIjipiti pamberi pendudzi dzose kuti ndive Mwari wavo. Ndini Jehovha.’”
46 Lezi yizimiso lezahlulelo lemilayo iNkosi ekunikileyo phakathi kwayo labantwana bakoIsrayeli entabeni yeSinayi ngesandla sikaMozisi.
Iyi ndiyo mitemo, mirayiro nezvakatemwa zvakamiswa naJehovha pagomo reSinai pakati pake navaIsraeri kubudikidza naMozisi.
