1 Inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi vaIsraeri, nokuti Jehovha ane mhosva yaari kupa kwamuri imi vagere munyika: “Hapana akatendeka, hapana ane rudo, hapana anoziva Mwari munyika.
Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama, mmwe abantu ba Isirayiri, kubanga Mukama abalinako ensonga mmwe abatuula mu nsi. “Obwesigwa n’okwagala Katonda, n’okumumanya bikendedde mu nsi.
2 Mune kutuka chete, kunyengera nokuuraya, kuba noupombwe; vanoparadza zvose zvinovadzivisa, uye kudeuka kweropa kunotevera kudeuka kweropa.
Waliwo okukolima, n’okulimba, n’okutta, n’okubba, n’okukola eby’obwenzi; bawaguza, era bayiwa omusaayi obutakoma.
3 Nokuda kwaizvozvi nyika inochema, navose vanogara mairi vanoperezeka. Mhuka dzesango neshiri dzedenga nehove dzegungwa zviri kufa.
Ensi kyeneeva ekaaba, ne bonna abagibeeramu ne bafuuka ekitagasa; n’ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko zirifa, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga nazo zirifa, n’ebyennyanja ebiri mu nnyanja ne bifa.
4 “Asi ngapasava nomunhu anopa mhosva, ngapasava nomunhu anopomera mumwe nokuti vanhu venyu vakafanana neavo vanopomera muprista mhaka.
“Naye temuloopagana, so tewabaawo muntu avunaana munne, kubanga ensonga ngivunaana gwe kabona.
5 Imi munogumburwa masikati nousiku, uye vaprofita vanogumburwawo pamwe chete nemi. Saka ndichaparadza mai venyu.
Wakola ebibi emisana n’ekiro, ne bannabbi ne babikolera wamu naawe; kyendiva nzikiriza maama wo.
6 Vanhu vangu vanoparadzwa nokuda kwokushayiwa zivo. “Sezvo maramba zivo, ini ndinokurambaiwo savaprista vangu; nokuti makashayira hanya murayiro waMwari wenyu, ini ndichashayirawo hanya vana venyu.
Abantu bange bazikiridde olw’obutamanya. “Kyemunaava mulema okubeera bakabona bange; era olw’okulagajjalira etteeka lya Katonda wo, nange kyendiva ndagajjalira abaana bo.
7 Vaprista vakati vachiwanda, kunditadzira kwavo kukawandawo; vakatsinhanisa kukudzwa nechimwe chinhu chinonyadzisa.
Gye beeyongera okuba abangi, gye baakoma n’okukola ebibi; baasuula ekitiibwa kyabwe ne banswaza.
8 Vanodya zvivi zvavanhu vangu uye vachifarira zvakaipa zvavo.
Bagaggawalira ku bibi by’abantu bange, era basemba okwonoona kwabwe.
9 Uye zvichaitika kuti: Zvakaita vanhu, ndizvo zvichaitawo vaprista. Ndicharanga vose, nokuda kwenzira dzavo uye ndichavapa mubayiro wamabasa avo.
Era bwe kityo bwe kiriba eri abantu n’eri bakabona: ndibabonereza olw’enneeyisa yaabwe, era ne mbasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe.
10 “Vachadya asi havangaguti; vachaita ufeve asi havangawandi, nokuti vakatiza Jehovha kuti vazvipire
“Balirya naye tebalikkuta, balikola ebibi eby’obwenzi kyokka tebalyeyongera bungi, kubanga bavudde ku Mukama ne beewaayo
11 kuufeve, newaini yakare neitsva, zvinobvisa kunzwisisa
eri obwenzi, wayini omukadde n’omusu, ne bibamalamu okutegeera.
12 kwavanhu vangu. Vanobvunza chifananidzo chedanda uye vanopindurwa netsvimbo yomuti. Mweya woufeve unovatungamirira mukurasika, havana kutendeka kuna Mwari wavo.
Abantu bange beebuuza ku kikonge ky’omuti, ne baddibwamu omuti. Omwoyo ogw’obwenzi gubasendasenda ne gubaleetera obutaba beesigwa eri Katonda waabwe.
13 Vanobayira pamusoro pamakomo uye vanopisira zvinonhuhwira pazvikomo, pasi pemiouki, mipopura nemiterebhini, pane mimvuri yakanaka. Naizvozvo vanasikana venyu vanotendeukira kuufeve navaroora venyu kuupombwe.
Baweerayo ssaddaaka ku ntikko z’ensozi, ne baweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku busozi, wansi w’emyalooni, n’emiribine n’emyera awali ekisiikirize ekirungi. Bawala bammwe kyebava baba bamalaaya, ne baka baana bammwe ne bakola obwenzi.
14 “Handizorangi vanasikana venyu pavanotendeukira kuufeve, kana varoora venyu pavanoita upombwe, nokuti varume pachavo vanoenda kuzvifeve uye vanobayira pamwe chete nezvifeve zvepashongwe, vanhu vasinganzwisisi vachasvika pakuparadzwa.
“Siribonereza bawala bammwe olw’okubeera bamalaaya, newaakubadde baka baana bammwe okukola eby’obwenzi, kubanga abasajja bennyini bassa bumu ne bamalaaya, ne baweerayo ssaddaaka ne bamalaaya ab’omu masabo; abantu abatategeera balizikirira.
15 “Kunyange uchiita upombwe, iwe Israeri, usaita kuti Judha ave nemhosva. “Usaenda kuGirigari; usakwidza uchienda kuBheti Avheni. Uye usapika uchiti, ‘Zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu!’
“Newaakubadde ggwe Isirayiri oyenda, omusango guleme okuba ku Yuda. Togenda Girugaali, newaakubadde okwambuka e Besaveni. Tolayiranga nti, ‘Nga Katonda bw’ali omulamu.’
16 VaIsraeri vakasindimara, setsiru rakasindimara. Zvino Jehovha achavafudza sei samakwayana pamafuro?
Abayisirayiri bakakanyavu mu mitima ng’ennyana endalu. Olwo Mukama ayinza atya okubalabirira ng’abaana b’endiga abali mu kisibo?
17 Efuremu akabatana nezvifananidzo; musiyei ari oga!
Efulayimu yeegasse n’abasinza ebifaananyi, mumuleke abeere yekka.
18 Kunyange zvokunwa zvavo pazvinenge zvapera, vanoramba vachiita ufeve hwavo; vatongi vavo vanoda kwazvo nzira dzinonyadzisa.
Ebyokunywa ne bwe bibaggwaako, beeyongera mu bwamalaaya; n’abakulembeze baabwe baagala nnyo eby’ensonyi:
19 Chamupupuri chichavatsvairira kure, uye zvibayiro zvavo zvichavaunzira kunyadziswa.
Embuyaga kyeziriva zibatwala, ne ssaddaaka zaabwe ne zibaswaza.”
