7 Saka Mozisi akadzokera akadana vakuru vavanhu akaisa pamberi pavo mashoko ose aakanga arayirwa naJehovha kuti ataure.
Ndipo Mose anabwerera ndi kuyitanitsa akuluakulu. Atabwera anawafotokozera mawu amene Yehova anamulamulira kuti adzanene.
8 Vanhu vose vakapindura pamwe chete vachiti, “Tichaita zvose zvakarehwa naJehovha.” Saka Mozisi akadzosera mhinduro yavo kuna Jehovha.
Anthu onse anayankha pamodzi kuti, “Ife tidzachita zonse zimene Yehova wanena.” Choncho Mose anabweza yankho lawo kwa Yehova.
9 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Ndiri kuzouya kwauri ndiri mugore gobvu, kuitira kuti vanhu vagondinzwa ndichitaura newe vagoramba vachivimba newe.” Ipapo Mozisi akaudza Jehovha zvakanga zvarehwa navanhu.

10 Uye Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Enda kuvanhu undovanatsa nhasi namangwana. Uite kuti vawache nguo dzavo
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Pita kwa anthu onse ndi kuwayeretsa lero ndi mawa. Achape zovala zawo
11 uye vange vagadzirira nezuva rechitatu, nokuti pazuva iroro Jehovha achaburuka paGomo reSinai pamberi pavanhu vose.
ndipo akhale atakonzeka pofika tsiku lachitatu, chifukwa tsiku limenelo Yehova adzatsika pa phiri la Sinai anthu onse akuona.
12 Uisire vanhu miganhu yakapoteredza gomo ugovaudza kuti, ‘Chenjerai kuti murege kukwira mugomo kana kubata mujinga maro. Ani naani achabata gomo achaurayiwa, zvirokwazvo.
Uwalembere malire anthuwo kuzungulira phirilo ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Samalani musakwere phirilo kapena kukhudza tsinde lake. Aliyense wokhudza phiri adzaphedwa ndithu.
13 Zvirokwazvo achatakwa namabwe kana kubayiwa nemiseve; hakuna ruoko ruchamubata. Angava munhu kana chipfuwo, haangatenderwi kurarama.’ Vangakwira havo kugomo kana bedzi hwamanda yorunyanga rwegondobwe yaramba ichirira.”
Aliyense wokhudza phiri adzaphedwa ndi miyala kapena kumulasa ndi mivi. Palibe amene adzamukhudze. Palibe munthu amene adzaloledwa kukhala ndi moyo ngakhale nyama. Iwo adzayenera kuphedwa.’ Koma anthu adzapita ku phirilo akadzamva kulira kwa lipenga la nyanga yankhosa.”
14 Shure kwokuburuka kwaMozisi mugomo achienda kuvanhu, akavanatsa, uye ivo vakashambidza nguo dzavo.
Tsono Mose anatsika phiri lija nafika kwa anthu aja ndi kuwayeretsa. Iwo anachapa zovala zawo.
15 Ipapo akati kuvanhu, “Zvigadzirirei nezvezuva rechitatu. Murege kurara navakadzi venyu.”
Kenaka iye anati kwa anthu, “Konzekerani tsiku lachitatu, musagone pamodzi ndi mkazi.”
16 Panguva yamangwanani yezuva rechitatu pakava nokutinhira uye nemheni, negore gobvu rakafukidza gomo, uye kurira kukuru kwehwamanda. Munhu wose aiva mumisasa akadedera.
Mʼmamawa wa tsiku lachitatu kunali mabingu, ziphaliwali ndi mtambo wakuda umene unaphimba phiri, ndiponso lipenga lolira kwambiri. Aliyense ku misasa kuja ananjenjemera ndi mantha.
17 Ipapo Mozisi akatungamirira vanhu vachibuda mumisasa kuti vandosangana naMwari, uye vakandomira mujinga megomo.
Ndipo Mose anatsogolera anthu kutuluka mʼmisasa kukakumana ndi Mulungu, ndipo anayima mʼmunsi mwa phiri.
18 Gomo reSinai rakanga rakafukidzwa noutsi, nokuti Jehovha akanga aburukira pamusoro paro ari mumoto. Utsi hwakapfungaira huchikwira kumusoro soutsi hwakanga huchibva pavira romoto, gomo rose rakazungunuka nesimba guru,
Phiri la Sinai linakutidwa ndi utsi, chifukwa Yehova anatsika ndi moto pa phiripo. Utsi unakwera ngati wochokera mʼngʼanjo yamoto ndipo phiri lonse linagwedezeka kwambiri.
19 uye inzwi rehwamanda rakanyanya kurira nokurira kukuru. Ipapo Mozisi akataura uye inzwi raMwari rikamupindura.
Liwu la lipenga linkakulirakulira. Tsono Mose anayankhula ndipo Yehova anamuyankha ndi mabingu.
20 Jehovha akaburukira pamusoro peGomo reSinai uye akadana Mozisi kuti auye pamusoro pegomo. Saka Mozisi akakwirako
Yehova anatsika nafika pamwamba pa phiri la Sinai, ndipo anayitana Mose kuti apite pa phiripo. Choncho Mose anakwera,
21 uye Jehovha akati kwaari, “Buruka unoyambira vanhu kuti varege kumanikidzira kupinda kuti vandoona Jehovha vazhinji vavo vakazofa.
ndipo Yehova anati kwa iye, “Tsika ukawachenjeze anthu kuti asayesere kudutsa malire kuti adzandione chifukwa ambiri a iwo adzafa.
22 Kunyange vaprista, vanoswedera kuna Jehovha, vanofanira kuzvinatsa, kuti Jehovha arege kuvaparadza.”
Ngakhale ansembe amene amatumikira pamaso pa Yehova ayenera kudziyeretsa kuopa kuti ndingadzawalange.”
23 Mozisi akati kuna Jehovha, “Vanhu havangakwiri muGomo reSinai, nokuti imi pachenyu makatiyambira mukati, ‘Isai miganhu yakapoteredza gomo uye muritsaure kuti rive dzvene.’”
Mose anati kwa Yehova, “Anthu sangakwere phiri la Sinai chifukwa inu munatichenjeza. Lembani malire kuzungulira phiri ndipo mulipatule kuti likhale loyera.”
24 Jehovha akapindura akati, “Buruka undotora Aroni ukwire naye kuno. Asi vaprista navanhu havafaniri kumanikidzira kusvika kuno kuna Jehovha, nokuti angavaparadza.”
Yehova anayankha, “Tsika ukamutenge Aaroni. Koma ansembe ndi anthu asayesere kubzola malire kuti abwere kwa Yehova chifukwa Iye adzawalanga.”
25 Saka Mozisi akaburuka akaenda kuvanhu akandovaudza.
Ndipo Mose anatsika ndi kukawawuza anthuwo.
