9 Akati kwavari, “Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, iye wamakanditumira kwaari kuti ndisvitse chikumbiro chenyu:

10 ‘Kana mukagara munyika ino, ndichakuvakai handizokukoromorei; ndichakusimai uye handingakudzurei, nokuti ndinorwadziwa nokuda kwenjodzi yandakaisa pamusoro penyu.
“Ngati mukhala mʼdziko muno, ndiye kuti ndidzakukhazikitsani, osakuchotsani. Inde ndidzakudzalani osakuchotsani pakuti ndi kumva chisoni kwambiri chifukwa cha mavuto amene ndabweretsa pa inu.
11 Musatya mambo weBhabhironi, iye wamunotya zvino. Musamutya, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, nokuti ndinemi uye ndichakuponesai nokukuponesai kubva mumaoko ake.
Musayiope mfumu ya ku Babuloni, imene mukuyiopa tsopano. Musachite nayo mantha, akutero Yehova, pakuti Ine ndili nanu ndipo ndidzakupulumutsani ndi kukulanditsani mʼmanja mwake.
12 Ndichakunzwirai tsitsi kuitira kuti agokunzwirai tsitsi, agokudzoserai kunyika yenyu.’
Ndidzakuchitirani chifundo, ndipo mfumuyonso idzakuchitirani chifundo ndi kukulolani kuti mukhale mʼdziko mwanumwanu.
13 “Kunyange zvakadaro, kana mukati, ‘Hatidi kugara munyika ino,’ nokudaro musingateerere Jehovha Mwari wenyu,
“Koma mwina simudzamvera Yehova Mulungu wanu nʼkumanena kuti, ‘Ayi ife sitidzakhala mʼdziko muno,
14 uye kana mukati, ‘Kwete tichaenda kundogara kuIjipiti, kwatisingazooni hondo kana kunzwa hwamanda kana kunzwa nzara yechingwa,’
ndipo ngati mukunena kuti, ‘Ayi, koma tidzapita ku Igupto kumene sitidzaonako nkhondo kapena kumva kulira kwa lipenga kapenanso kusowa chakudya.’
15 zvino chinzwai shoko raJehovha imi vakasara vaJudha. Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Kana mashinga kuenda kuIjipiti kana mukaenda kundogarako,
Tsono, inu otsala a ku Yuda, imvani mawu a Yehova. Iye akuti, ngati mutsimikiza zopita ku Igupto, nʼkupitadi kukakhala kumeneko,
16 ipapo munondo wamunotya uchakukundai ikoko uye nenzara yamunotya ichakuteverai kuIjipiti, uye muchafira ikoko.
ndiye nkhondo imene mukuyiopayo idzakugonjetsani ku Igupto komweko. Njala imene mukuyiopayo idzakupezani ku Igupto komweko ndipo mudzafera kumeneko.
17 Zvirokwazvo, vose vashinga kuenda kuIjipiti kundogarako vachafa nomunondo, nenzara uye nedenda; hakuna achasara pakati pavo kana kupukunyuka njodzi yandichauyisa pamusoro pavo.’
Kunena zoona, onse amene atsimikiza zopita ku Igupto kuti akakhale kumeneko adzafa ndi nkhondo njala ndi mliri. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzapulumuke kapena kuthawa mavuto amene ndidzawagwetsera.’
18 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Sokudururwa kwakaitwa hasha dzangu nokutsamwa kwangu pamusoro peavo vaigara muJerusarema, saizvozvo kutsamwa kwangu kuchadururirwa pamusoro penyu kana maenda kuIjipiti. Muchava chinhu chinotukwa nechinosemwa, nechinomhurwa, nokuzvidzwa; hamuchazombooni nzvimbo ino zvakare.’
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Momwe ndinawakwiyira mwaukali anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu, koteronso ndidzakukwiyirani mukapita ku Igupto. Mudzasanduka chinthu chotembereredwa ndi chochititsa mantha, choseketsa ndi chonyozeka. Malo ano simudzawaonanso.’
19 “Haiwa imi vakasara veJudha, Jehovha akuudzai kuti, ‘Musaenda kuIjipiti.’ Ivai nechokwadi: ndinokuyambirai nhasi
“Inu otsala a ku Yuda, Yehova wakuwuzani kuti, ‘Musapite ku Igupto.’ Dziwani chinthu ichi: Ine lero ndikukuchenjezani
20 kuti makakanganisa kwazvo pamakandituma kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu muchiti, ‘Tinyengeterere kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu, utiudze zvose zvaanoreva uye isu tichazviita.’
kuti munalakwitsa kwambiri. Inu munandituma kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu nʼkumati ‘Mukatipempherere kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu, nʼkudzatiwuza chimene afuna kuti tichite, ndipo ife tidzachita.’
21 Ndakuudzai nhasi, asi kunyange zvakadaro hamuna kuteerera Jehovha Mwari wenyu pane zvose zvaakandituma kuzokuzivisai imi.
Ine lero ndakuwuzani, koma inu simukumverabe zonse zimene Yehova Mulungu anandituma kuti ndikuwuzeni.
22 Saka zvino, ivai nechokwadi nezvizvi: Muchafa nomunondo, nenzara, uye nedenda kunzvimbo yamunoda kuenda kundogara.”
Tsono dziwani ichi: mudzafadi ndi nkhondo, njala ndi mliri kumalo kumene mukufuna mukakhaleko.”
