13 Ipapo ugoti kuna Jehovha Mwari wako, “Ndabvisa mugove mutsvene paimba yangu uye ndaupa kumuRevhi, nokumutorwa, nokunherera uye nokuchirikadzi, maererano nezvose zvamakarayira. Handina kutsauka kubva pamirayiro yenyu kana kukanganwa kunyange mumwe chete zvawo.
Kenaka munene kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti “Ndatulutsamo mʼnyumba mwanga gawo lopatulika ndipo ndalipereka kwa Mlevi, mlendo, ana ndi akazi amasiye, monga mwa zonse zimene munalamula. Sindinapatuke pa zimene munalamula kapena kuyiwala ndi chimodzi chomwe.
14 Handina kudya kana chikamu zvacho chomugove mutsvene panguva yandaiva pakuchema, kana kubvisa chikamu chawo panguva yandaiva ndisina kunatswa, kana kupa chikamu chawo kuvakafa. Ndakateerera Jehovha Mwari wangu; ndaita zvose zvamakandirayira.

16 Jehovha Mwari wenyu anokurayirai nhasi kuti muteerere mitemo nemirayiro iyi; muchenjerere kuichengeta nomwoyo wenyu wose uye nomweya wenyu wose.
Yehova Mulungu wanu akukulamulani lero lino kuti mutsate malangizo ndi malamulo ake ndipo muwasunge mosamalitsa ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse.

18 Uye Jehovha azvireva nhasi kuti imi muri vanhu vake, pfuma yake inokosha sezvaakavimbisa, uye kuti imi muchachengeta mirayiro yake.
Ndipo Yehova wanenetsa lero lino kuti inu ndinu anthu ake, chuma chake chamtengowapatali monga momwe analonjezera, ndipo mukuyenera kusunga malamulo ake onse.
19 Ati achakukurisai kwazvo kupfuura ndudzi dzose dzaakaita pakurumbidzwa, napamukurumbira napakukudzwa kuti muve rudzi rutsvene kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu, sezvaakavimbisa.
Iye wanenetsa kuti adzakuyikani kukhala oyamikika, otchuka ndi olemekezeka koposa mitundu yonse imene anayilenga. Komanso mudzakhala anthu opatulika a Yehova Mulungu wanu monga momwe analonjezera.
