1 Teererai zvino, imi vaIsraeri, mitemo nemirayiro yandava kukudzidzisai. Muitevere kuti murarame uye mugopinda mugotora nyika iyo munopiwa naJehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba enyu.
Mverani inu Aisraeli, malangizo ndi malamulo amene ndikuphunzitseni. Muwatsatire kuti mukhale ndi moyo ndi kuti mulowe ndi kutenga dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wa makolo anu akukupatsani.
2 Musawedzera kana kutapudza kubva pane zvandinokurayirai, asi chengetai mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu yandinokupai.
Musawonjezere pa zimene ndikukulamulirani ndipo musachotserepo, koma muwasunge malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndikukupatsani.
3 Makaona nameso enyu zvakaitwa naJehovha paBhaari Peori, Jehovha Mwari wenyu akaparadza mumwe nomumwe pakati penyu aitevera Bhaari Peori.
Inu munaona ndi maso anu zimene Yehova anachita ku Baala-Peori. Yehova Mulungu wanu anawononga aliyense amene anatsata Baala wa ku Peori pakati panu.
4 Asi imi mose makanamatira pana Jehovha Mwari wenyu muchiri vapenyu nhasi.
Koma inu nonse amene munagwiritsitsa Yehova Mulungu wanu mukanali ndi moyo mpaka lero.
5 Tarirai, ndakudzidzisai mitemo nemirayiro sezvandakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wangu, kuti muitevere munyika yamuri kupinda kuti muitore ive yenyu.
Taonani, ndakuphunzitsani malangizo ndi malamulo monga Yehova Mulungu wanga anandilamulira kuti inuyo muwatsatire mʼdziko limene mukulowa ndi kulitengali.
6 Muichengete zvakanaka, nokuti izvi zvicharatidza uchenjeri nokunzwisisa kwenyu kundudzi dzichanzwa pamusoro pemitemo iyi yose uye vachati, “Zvirokwazvo rudzi urwu rukuru, vanhu vakachenjera uye vanonzwisisa.”
Muwasunge mosamalitsa pakuti zimenezi zidzaonetsa nzeru zanu ndi kuzindikira kwanu kwa anthu a mitundu ina, amene adzamva za malangizo onsewa nati, “Ndithudi, mtundu waukulu uwu ndi wa anthu anzeru ndi ozindikira.”
7 Ndorupi rumwe rudzi rukuru runa vamwari varwo vari pedyo navo saJehovha Mwari wedu ari pedyo nesu nguva ipi neipi zvayo yatinonyengetera kwaari?
Mtundu wina wa anthu ndi uti umene uli waukulu chomwechi, woti ukhoza kukhala ndi milungu yawo pafupi monga mmene alili Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi ife nthawi zonse pamene tipemphera kwa Iye?
8 Uye ndorupiko rudzi rukuru rune mitemo nemirayiro yakarurama semirayiro iyi yandiri kuisa pamberi penyu nhasi?
Ndipo ndi mtundu uti mwa mitundu ya anthu umene ndi waukulu chotere kuti nʼkukhala ndi malangizo ndi malamulo olungama ngati malamulo amene ndikuyika pamaso panu lero?
9 Asi zvichenjererei, mugonyatsozvichengetedza kuitira kuti murege kukanganwa zvinhu zvakaonekwa nameso enyu kana kuzvirega zvichibuda mumwoyo menyu mazuva ose oupenyu hwenyu. Muzvidzidzise nokuvana venyu.
Inu mungosamala ndi kudziyangʼanira kwambiri nokha kuti musayiwale zimene maso anu aona. Musalole kuti zichoke mʼmitima mwanu pa moyo wanu wonse. Zimenezi muziphunzitse kwa ana anu ndi zidzukulu zanu ngakhale mʼtsogolo.
10 Murangarire zuva ramakamira pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu paHorebhi, paakati kwandiri, “Unganidza vanhu pamberi pangu kuti vanzwe mashoko angu vagodzidza kunditya mazuva ose avachagara panyika uye kuti vagozoadzidzisa kuvana vavo.”
Kumbukirani tsiku limene munayimirira pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu ku Horebu, pamene anati kwa ine, “Sonkhanitsa anthu pamaso panga kuti amve mawu anga ndi kuti aphunzire kundilemekeza mʼmoyo wawo onse mʼdzikomo ndi kuti ana awo aziwaphunzitsa zimenezi.”
11 Makaswedera mukamira pajinga pegomo, gomo paraipfuta nomoto waisvika kumatenga chaiko, pamwe chete nemakore matema nerima guru.
Munabwera pafupi ndi kuyima pa tsinde pa phiri pamene phirilo limayaka moto umene umafika mpaka kumwamba. Panalinso mtambo wakuda ndi mdima wambiri.
12 Ipapo Jehovha akataura kwamuri ari mukati memoto. Makanzwa inzwi chete asi hamuna kuona kuti ndiani; kwaingova nenzwi roga.
Kenaka Yehova anayankhula nanu kuchokera mʼmotowo. Inu munamva mawu ake okha koma simunamuone pakuti panali mawu chabe.
13 Akataura sungano yake kwamuri, Mirayiro Gumi, yaakakurayirai kuti muitevere uye ipapo akainyora pamahwendefa maviri amabwe.
Iye anakuwuzani Malamulo Khumi omwe ndi pangano lake limene anakulamulirani kuti mutsatire. Ndipo anawalemba malamulowo pa mapale awiri a miyala.
14 Zvino Jehovha akanditungamirira panguva iyo kuti ndikudzidzisei mitemo nemirayiro yamunofanira kundotevera munyika iyo yamunoyambukira Jorodhani kuti ive yenyu.
Ndipo Yehova anandilamula nthawi imene ija kuti ndikuphunzitseni malangizo ndi malamulo amene muyenera kutsata mʼdziko limene mutenge mukawoloka Yorodani.
15 Nokuti hamuna kuona zvaakanga akaita nezuva iro Jehovha akataura kwamuri paHorebhi ari mumoto. Naizvozvo zvichenjererei zvikuru,
Tsiku limene Yehova anayankhula nanu ku Horebu mʼmoto uja, simunaone thupi lake. Choncho mudziyangʼanire nokha mosamalitsa,
16 kuitira kuti murege kuzvisvibisa muchizvigadzirira chifananidzo, chifananidzo chechinhu chipi zvacho, chingava chakaitwa somurume kana somukadzi,
kuti musasokonezeke ndi kudzipangira nokha fano kapena chifanizo cha mtundu uliwonse, kaya chokhala ngati mwamuna kapena ngati mkazi,
17 kana semhuka ipi zvayo panyika kana seshiri ipi zvayo inobhururuka mudenga,
kaya chokhala ngati nyama iliyonse ya pa dziko lapansi kapena mbalame iliyonse yowuluka mlengalenga.
18 kana sechisikwa chipi zvacho chinofamba pasi kana hove ipi zvayo iri pasi mumvura.
Kapena cholengedwa chilichonse choyenda pa nthaka kapena nsomba ya mʼmadzi akuya.
19 Uye kuti kana muchitarisa kudenga mukaona zuva, nomwedzi nenyeredzi, zvose zviri kudenga, musatsauswa kuti muzvipfugamire nokunamata zvinhu izvo Jehovha Mwari wenyu akagovera ndudzi dzose dziri pasi pedenga.
Ndipo pamene muyangʼana kumwamba muona dzuwa, mwezi ndi nyenyezi, zonse zakumwambazo musakopeke kuti muzigwadire ndi kumapembedza zinthu zimene Yehova wapereka kwa anthu a mitundu yonse pa dziko lapansi.
20 Asi kana muri imi, Jehovha akakutorai akakubudisai muchoto chamatare, akakubudisai muIjipiti, kuti muve vanhu venhaka yake, sezvamuri nhasi.
Koma inuyo, Yehova anakutengani ndi kukutulutsani mʼngʼanjo yosungunulira zitsulo, ku Igupto kuti mukhale anthu olandira chuma chake monga mmene mulili tsopano.
21 Jehovha akanditsamwira nokuda kwenyu, akapika kuti handingayambuki Jorodhani nokupinda munyika yakanaka iyo munopiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti ive nhaka yenyu.
Yehova anakwiya nane chifukwa cha inu, ndipo analumbira kwathunthu kuti sindidzawoloka Yorodani ndi kulowa mʼdziko labwinolo limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani inu ngati cholowa chanu.
22 Ini ndichafira munyika ino; handichayambuki Jorodhani; asi imi mava kuzoyambuka nokutora nyika yakanaka.
Ine ndifera mʼdziko lino, sindiwoloka Yorodani. Koma inu mwatsala pangʼono kuwoloka ndi kukatenga dziko labwinolo.
23 Muzvichenjerere kuti murege kukanganwa sungano yaJehovha Mwari wenyu yaakaita nemi; musazviitira chifananidzo chorudzi rwechinhu chipi zvakadziviswa naJehovha Mwari wenyu.
Samalani, musayiwale pangano limene Yehova Mulungu wanu anapangana nanu ndipo musadzipangire nokha fano la chinthu chilichonse chimene Yehova Mulungu wanu waletsa.
24 Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu moto unoparadza, ndiMwari ane godo.
Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi moto wonyeketsa ndipo ndi Mulungu wansanje.
25 Mushure mokunge mava navana navazukuru uye magara nguva refu munyika, kana mukazvishatisa nokugadzira chifananidzo chorudzi rupi zvarwo, mukaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu muchimuita kuti atsamwe,
Mukadzakhala nthawi yayitali mʼdzikomo ndi kubereka ana ndi kukhala ndi zidzukulu ndipo mukadzasokonekera ndi kupanga fano la mtundu uliwonse, nʼkumachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kumukwiyitsa,
26 ndinodana denga napasi sezvapupu pamusoro penyu nhasi, kuti muchakurumidza kuparara kubva panyika yamuri kuyambukira Jorodhani kuti ive yenyu. Hamungagarimo nguva refu asi muchaparadzwa zvirokwazvo.
ine ndi kuti kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zikhale mboni lero zokutsutsani kuti mudzawonongedwa msanga ndipo mudzachotsedwa mʼdziko limene mutenge mukawoloka Yorodani. Simudzakhalitsa kumeneko koma mudzawonongedwa ndithu.
27 Jehovha achakuparadzirai pakati pamarudzi, uye vashoma venyu chete ndivo vachapona pakati pendudzi uko kwamuchadzingirwa naJehovha.
Yehova adzakubalalitsani pakati pa anthu ena. Ochepa okha pakati panu ndi amene adzapulumuke pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kumene Yehova adzakupirikitsireniko.
28 Ikoko muchanamata vamwari vakaitwa navanhu, vamatanda navamabwe, vasingagoni kana kunzwa kana kudya kana kunhuhwidza.
Kumeneko mudzapembedza milungu ya mitengo ndi miyala yopangidwa ndi anthu, imene singaone kapena kumva kapena kudya kapena kununkhiza.
29 Asi kana mava ikoko mukatsvaka Jehovha Mwari wenyu, muchamuwana kana mukamutsvaka nomwoyo wenyu wose nomweya wenyu wose.
Mukanali komweko, ngati mudzamufunafuna Yehova Mulungu wanu mudzamupeza koma ngati mutamufunafuna ndi mtima wanu wonse ndi moyo wanu wonse.
30 Kana muchinge matambudzika uye zvinhu zvose izvi zvaitika kwamuri, ipapo pamazuva achatevera muchadzoka kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu mugomuteerera.
Mukadzakhala pa chipsinjo ndipo zonsezi zikadzakuchitikirani, ndi pamene pambuyo pake mudzabwerera kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kumumvera Iye.
31 Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu ndiMwari ane ngoni, haangakusiyei kana kukuparadzai, kana kukanganwa sungano yamadzibaba enyu, yaakasimbisa kwavari nemhiko.
Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi Mulungu wachifundo, Iye sadzakutayani kapena kukuwonongani kapena kuyiwala pangano lake ndi makolo anu, limene analitsimikiza mwa lumbiro.
32 Bvunzai zvino pamusoro pamazuva akapfuura kare imi musati mavapo, kubva nezuva iro Mwari akasika munhu panyika; bvunzai kubva kuno rumwe rutivi rwedenga kusvikira kuno rumwe. Kune chinhu chakamboitika chakakura seichi here, kana chimwe chakafanana nacho chakambonzwika?
Tsopano tafunsani za masiku a mʼmbuyomu, zakale inu musanabadwe, kuyambira tsiku limene Mulungu analenga munthu pa dziko lapansi. Tafufuzani kuyambira kumapeto mpaka mapeto anzake a thambo. Kodi chinachitikako china chachikulu ngati ichi, kapena chinayamba chamvekako chokhala ngati ichi?
33 Kune vamwe vanhu vakambonzwa inzwi raMwari achitaura ari mukati momoto here, sezvamakanzwa imi uye vakararama?
Kodi uliponso mtundu wina wa anthu umene unamva mawu a Mulungu akuyankhula kuchokera mʼmoto nʼkukhala ndi moyo monga mwachitira inumu?
34 Kune mumwe mwari here akaedza kundozvitsaurira rudzi pakati porumwe rudzi, nemiedzo, nezviratidzo, nezvishamiso, nehondo, noruoko rune simba, noruoko rwakatambanudzwa, kana namabasa makuru anotyisa, sezvinhu zvose zvakaitwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu pamberi penyu muIjipiti?
Kodi alipo mulungu amene anayeserapo kudzitengera mtundu wa anthu kuwachotsa mu mtundu unzake mwa mayesero, zizindikiro zozizwitsa, nkhondo, komanso mwa mphamvu zake zopanda malire, kapena mwa zochita zazikulu ndi zochititsa mantha, monga zimene Yehova Mulungu wanu anakuchitirani ku Igupto inu mukupenya?
35 Makaratidzwa zvinhu zvose izvi kuti muzive kuti Jehovha ndiMwari; kunze kwake hakuna mumwe.
Iye anakuonetsani zonsezi kuti inu muzindikire kuti Yehova ndiye Mulungu, palibenso wina wofanana naye.
36 Kubva kudenga akaita kuti munzwe inzwi rake kuti akudzidzisei. Panyika akakuratidzai moto wake mukuru, uye makanzwa mashoko ake kubva mukati momoto.
Kuchokera kumwamba, Iye anafuna kuti inu mumve mawu ake ndi kuti mukhale osunga mwambo. Pa dziko lapansi anakuonetsani moto waukulu, ndipo inu munamva mawu ake kuchokera mʼmotomo.
37 Nokuti akada madzibaba enyu uye akazvitsaurira zvizvarwa zvavo zvakavatevera shure kwavo, akakubudisai muIjipiti noKuvapo kwake nesimba rake guru,
Popeza anakonda makolo anu ndi kusankha adzukulu awo, a pambuyo pawo, anakutulutsani kuchoka ku Igupto ali pakati panu ndi mphamvu yake,
38 kuti adzinge pamberi penyu ndudzi dzinokupfuurai pakukura napasimba uye nokukuuyisai munyika yavo kuti aipe kwamuri senhaka sezvazviri nhasi.
kuti akupirikitsireni mayiko akuluakulu ndi amphamvu kuposa inu, ndi kukubweretsani inu ku dziko lawo kuti likhale lanu, monga liliri lero.
39 Zvizivei nokuzvichengeta mumwoyo nhasi kuti Jehovha ndiMwari ari kudenga kumusoro uye napanyika pasi. Hakunazve mumwe.
Vomerezani lero ndipo dziwani mu mtima mwanu kuti Yehova ndiye Mulungu kumwamba ndi pa dziko lapansi. Palibenso wina.
40 Chengetai mitemo nemirayiro yake yandinokupai nhasi, kuitira kuti zvigokuitirai zvakanaka imi navana venyu vanokuteverai uye kuti mugogara mazuva mazhinji panyika yamunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu nokusingaperi.
Sungani malangizo ake ndi malamulo ake amene ndikukupatsani lero lino, kuti zikuyendereni bwino inu ndi ana anu kutsogoloko, ndi kuti mukhalitse mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani kwa nthawi zonse.
41 Zvino Mozisi akatsaura maguta matatu kumabvazuva mhiri kwaJorodhani,
Kenaka Mose anapatula mizinda itatu cha kummawa kwa Yorodani,
42 uko ani naani anenge auraya munhu aitizira kana achinge auraya muvakidzani wake asingaiti nobwoni uye asingazvifungiri. Aigona kutizira mune rimwe ramaguta aya kuti ararame.
kumene aliyense amene wapha munthu akhoza kuthawirako ngati wopha munthuyo sanaphe mnzakeyo mwadala ndi maganizo oyipa. Iye akhoza kuthawira ku umodzi mwa mizinda imeneyi napulumutsa moyo wake.
43 Maguta aya aiti: Bhezeri mudunhu rakakwirira rokurenje raiva ravaRubheni; Ramoti paGireadhi, raiva ravaGadhi; neGorani paBhashani, raiva ravaManase.
Mizindayo inali iyi: ku fuko la Rubeni, unali mzinda wa Bezeri ku mapiri a ku chipululu; ku fuko la Gadi, unali Ramoti ku Giliyadi; ndipo ku fuko la Manase, unali Golani ku Basani.
44 Uyu ndiwo murayiro wakaiswa naMozisi pamberi pavaIsraeri:
Awa ndi malamulo amene Mose anapereka kwa Aisraeli.
45 Izvi ndizvo zvakataurwa naMozisi, mitemo nemirayiro yaakavapa pavakabuda kubva muIjipiti
Izi ndi ndondomeko, malangizo ndi malamulo amene Mose anawapatsa iwo pamene anatuluka ku Igupto.
46 uye vari kumabvazuva kwaJorodhani mumupata uri pedyo neBheti Peori, munyika yaSihoni mambo wavaAmori, aitonga muHeshibhoni uyo akakundwa navaIsraeri pavakabuda muIjipiti.
Anali ku chigwa cha kufupi ndi Beti-Peori mbali ya kummawa kwa Yorodani, mʼdziko la Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori amene ankalamulira ku Hesiboni ndipo anagonjetsedwa ndi Mose ndi Aisraeli pamene ankachokera ku Igupto.
47 Vakatora nyika yake nenyika yaOgi mambo weBhashani, madzimambo maviri avaAmori aiva kumabvazuva kweJorodhani.
Iye anamulanda dziko lake ndi dziko la Ogi mfumu ya ku Basani. Awa anali mafumu awiri Aamori a kummawa kwa Yorodani.
48 Nyika iyi yaibva paAroeri pamahombekombe oMupata weArinoni kusvika pagomo reSioni (ndiro Herimoni),
Dziko ili linayambira ku Aroeri cha kumphepete kwa khwawa la Arinoni ku phiri la Siyoni (limeneli ndi phiri la Herimoni),
49 uye kusanganisira Arabha yose kumabvazuva kwaJorodhani, kusvikira kuGungwa reArabha, mujinga memateru ePisiga.
ndi kuphatikizapo dziko lonse la Araba cha kummawa kwa Yorodani mpaka kukafika ku Nyanja ya Araba, kumunsi kwa Phiri la Pisiga.
