1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 “Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari: ‘Kana mapinda munyika yandinokupai kuti mugare,
“Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Ngemva kokungena kwenu elizweni engilinika lona ukuba libe likhaya lenu,
3 uye mukauya nezvipiriso zvinopiswa kuna Jehovha, kubva kumombe kana makwai, kuti muite zvinonhuhwira zvinofadza Jehovha, zvingava zvinopiswa kana zvibayiro, zvemhiko dzakasarudzika kana zvipo zvokupa nokuzvisarudzira kana zvipiriso zvemitambo,
kumele lethule iminikelo yenu eyenziwa ngomlilo kuThixo, kusukela emihlambini yenkomo leyezimvu, kube liphunga elimnandi kuThixo, kungakhathalekile ukuthi ngumnikelo wokutshiswa kumbe ngumhlatshelo, kungokwezifungo eziqakathekileyo loba iminikelo yokuzithandela loba eyemikhosi emisiweyo,
4 ipapo munhu anouya nechipiriso chake achapa kuna Jehovha chipiriso chezvipo chiri chegumi cheefa youpfu hwakatsetseka hwakavhenganiswa nechikamu chimwe chete muzvina chehini yamafuta.
ngakho lowo oletha umnikelo wakhe uzakwethula kuThixo umnikelo wamabele oyingxenye eyodwa etshumini lehefa lefulawa ecolekileyo exutshaniswe lamafutha ayingxenye eyodwa kokune kwehini.
5 Pagwayana rimwe nerimwe rechipiriso chinopiswa kana rechibayiro, munofanira kugadzira chikamu chimwe chete muzvina chehini yewaini chive chipiriso chokunwa.
Lungisa lewundlu ngalinye elomnikelo wokutshiswa loba umhlatshelo ingxenye eyodwa kokune yehini yewayini njengomnikelo wokunathwayo.
6 “‘Munofanira kugadzira negondobwe chipiriso chezviyo chezvikamu zviviri mugumi zveefa youpfu hwakatsetseka hwakavhenganiswa nechikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu chehini yamafuta,
Kuthi ngenqama ulungise umnikelo wamabele ube yisilinganiso sokubili kokulitshumi kwehefa lefulawa ecolekileyo exutshaniswe lamafutha ayisilinganiso esisodwa kokuthathu kwehini,
7 uye nechikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu chehini yewaini chive chipiriso chokunwa. Muchipe sechinonhuhwira chinofadza kuna Jehovha.
lewayini eliyisilinganiso sehini esisodwa kokuthathu kube ngumnikelo wokunathwayo. Kunikele kube liphunga elimnandi kuThixo.
8 “‘Pamunogadzirira Jehovha nzombe duku sechipiriso chinopiswa kana sechibayiro, chemhiko yakasarudzika kana chipiriso chokuwadzana,
Nxa ulungisa inkunzi eliguqa njengomnikelo wokutshiswa loba umhlatshelo, kusenzelwa isifungo esiqakathekileyo loba umnikelo wobudlelwano kuThixo,
9 munofanira kuuya nechipiriso chezviyo chezvikamu zvitatu kubva mugumi cheefa youpfu hwakatsetseka hwakavhenganiswa nehafu yehini yamafuta pamwe chete nehando.
letha ndawonye lenkunzi umnikelo wamabele acholiweyo aba yifulawa ecolekileyo eyisilinganiso sehefa sokuthathu etshumini exutshaniswe lamafutha ayingxenye yehini.
10 Uyezve muuye nehafu yehini yewaini sechipiriso chokunwa. Chichava chipiriso chinoitwa nomoto, chinonhuhwira chinofadza Jehovha.
Letha njalo lewayini eliyizilinganiso zengxenye yehini kube ngumnikelo wokunathwayo. Lokhu kuzakuba ngumhlatshelo wokudla, iphunga elimnandi kuThixo.
11 Hando imwe neimwe kana gondobwe, gwayana rimwe nerimwe kana mbudzana, zvinofanira kugadzirwa nenzira iyoyi.
Ngakho inkunzi inye ngayinye loba inqama, iwundlu linye ngalinye loba izinyane lembuzi, akulungiswe ngale indlela.
12 Munofanira kuita izvi pane chimwe nechimwe chazvo, sokuwanda kwezvamunenge magadzira.
Lokhu kwenze emnikelweni ngamunye loba ulungise emingaki.
13 “‘Munhu wose anoberekwa munyika yenyu, anofanira kuita zvinhu izvi nenzira iyi paanenge achiuya nechipiriso chinoitwa nomoto, chive chinonhuhwira zvinofadza kuna Jehovha.
Wonke ozalwa lapha kumele enze lezizinto ngale indlela lapho eletha umnikelo wakhe owenziwe ngomlilo njengephunga elimnandi kuThixo.
14 Kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera kana mutorwa kana mumwe munhuwo zvake agere pakati penyu akapa chipiriso chinoitwa nomoto, chinonhuhwira zvinofadza Jehovha, anofanira kuita zvakangofanana nezvamunoita imi.
Ezizukulwaneni ezilandelayo, owezizweni loba ngubani ohlezi lani nxa esethula umnikelo owenziwa ngomlilo njengoqhatshi olumnandi kuThixo, kumele enze khona lokho elikwenzayo.
15 Ungano inofanira kuva nomutemo mumwe chete kumutorwa agere pakati penyu; uyu murayiro usingaperi kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera. Muchafanana pamberi paJehovha imi nomutorwa.
Imithetho le kumele uyilandele wena labantu bonke kanye labezizweni abahlala phakathi kwenu; lesi yisimiso esimi njalo lakuzizukulwane ezilandelayo. Lina kanye labezizweni lizafanana phambi kukaThixo:
16 Mirayiro mimwe cheteyo ichashanda kwamuri mose, imi nomutorwa agere pakati penyu.’”
Lizabuswa ngemithetho lemilayo efananayo lina kanye labezizwe abahlala phakathi kwenu.’”
17 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
18 “Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari: ‘Kana mopinda munyika yandinokuendesai
“Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi: ‘Ekungeneni kwenu elizweni engilisa kulo
19 uye mukadya zvokudya zvenyika iyo, munofanira kupa chikamu kuna Jehovha sechipiriso.
lingadla ukudla kwalelolizwe, yethulani ingxenye yakho ibe ngumnikelo kuThixo.
20 Munofanira kupa keke rinoitwa noupfu hwenyu hwokutanga mugoripa sechipiriso chinobva paburiro.
Lethani isinkwa esenziwe ngempuphu yakuqala lisethule njengomnikelo ovela esizeni.
21 Kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera munofanira kupa chipiriso ichi kuna Jehovha kubva paupfu hwenyu hwokutanga.
Kuzozonke izizukulwane ezilandelayo lizakwethula umnikelo kuThixo uthethwe emputshini yenu yakuqala.’”
22 “‘Zvino kana musingatadzi nobwoni kuchengeta mirayiro iyi yakapiwa kuna Mozisi naJehovha,
“‘Kungakho nxa wehlulekile ukugcina loba yiphi imilayo uThixo ayinika uMosi ungananzelelanga,
23 zvipi zvazvo zvakarayirwa naJehovha kubudikidza naMozisi, kubva nezuva razvakapiwa naJehovha uye zvichienda mberi kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvinotevera,
loba yiphi imilayo kaThixo alitshele yona ngoMosi, kusukela ngosuku uThixo amupha yona kuqhubekela ezizukulwaneni ezilandelayo,
24 uye kana izvi zvikaitwa kwete nobwoni zvisina kuzivikanwa neungano, ungano yose inofanira kupa hando duku sechipiriso chinopiswa, sezvinonhuhwira zvinofadza kuna Jehovha, nenhongo yembudzi kuti ive chipiriso chechivi.
kanti njalo lokhu kwenzakele ngephutha abantu bengakunanzelele, kutsho ukuthi abantu bonke bakuleyondawo bazanikela ngenkunzi eliguqa kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa olephunga elimnandi kuThixo, ndawonye lomnikelo wamabele lowokunathwayo, kanye lempongo yomnikelo wesono njengokumisiweyo.
25 Muprista anofanira kuyananisira ungano yose yavaIsraeri, uye vachakanganwirwa, nokuti zvakanga zvisina kuitwa nobwoni, uye, nokuda kwokukanganisa kwavo, vakavigira Jehovha chipiriso chinopiswa uye nechipiriso chechivi.
Umphristi uzakwenzela isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli indlela yokubuyisana, ngakho bazathethelelwa, ngoba bekungayisingabomo njalo banikele kuThixo ngokona kwabo umhlatshelo wokudla kanye lomnikelo wesono.
26 Ungano yose yavaIsraeri navatorwa vagere pakati pavo vachakanganwirwa, nokuti vanhu vose vakatadza vasingazivi.
Abantu bonke bako-Israyeli kanye labezizwe abahlala labo bazathethelelwa, ngoba bonke lababantu babengonanga ngabomo.
27 “‘Asi kana munhu mumwe chete akatadza nokusaziva, anofanira kuuya nembudzana hadzi yegore rimwe chete kuti chive chipiriso chechivi.
Kodwa nxa kungumuntu oyedwa owonayo kungesikho ngabomo, kumele alethe imbuzi ensikazi elomnyaka owodwa ibe ngumnikelo wesono.
28 Muprista anofanira kuyananisira uyo akatadza pamberi paJehovha nokutadza nokusaziva, uye kana ayananisirwa, achakanganwirwa.
Umphristi uzamenzela lowo owone ngokwenza isono kungesikho ngabomo indlela yokubuyisana phambi kukaThixo, kuthi ngemva kokuba indlela yokubuyisana isiyenziwe, uzathethelelwa.
29 Murayiro mumwe chete iwoyu unoshanda kuna vose vanotadza vasingazivi, angava akaberekerwa muIsraeri kana mutorwa.
Wonalo umthetho ngowomuntu wonke owonayo kungesikho ngabomo, kungakhathalekile ukuthi ungowako-Israyeli ozalelwe khonapha kumbe ngowezizweni.
30 “‘Asi ani naani anotadza nokuzvikudza, angava akaberekwa muIsraeri kana mutorwa, anomhura Jehovha, munhu uyo anofanira kubviswa pakati pavanhu vokwake.
Kodwa loba ngubani owenza isono ngabomo, kungaba ngowakini loba owezizweni, athuke uThixo, lowomuntu uzaxotshwa ebantwini bakibo.
31 Nokuti akazvidza shoko raJehovha uye akaputsa mirayiro yake, munhu uyo anofanira kubviswa zvachose; mhosva yake inogara pamusoro pake.’”
Ngenxa yokweyisa ilizwi likaThixo lokwephula imilayo yakhe, lowomuntu ngempela kaxotshwe kwabakibo; uhlala elokhu elalo icala.’”
32 VaIsraeri vachiri murenje, mumwe murume akawanikwa achiunganidza huni nezuva reSabata.
Ngesikhathi abako-Israyeli besenkangala, indoda ethile yatholakala itheza inkuni ngosuku lweSabatha.
33 Avo vakamuwana achiunganidza huni vakauya naye kuna Mozisi naAroni nokuungano yose,
Kwathi labo abamficayo etheza bamusa kuMosi lo-Aroni kanye lakubo bonke abantu,
34 uye vakamuchengeta mutorongo, nokuti vakanga vasingazivi zvaifanira kuitwa kwaari.
ngoba kungakazakali ukuthi kumele enziweni; wavalelwa entolongweni.
35 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Murume uyo anofanira kufa. Ungano yose inofanira kumutaka namabwe kunze kwomusasa.”
UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Indoda leyo kumele ife. Abantu bonke kumele bamkhande ngamatshe ngaphandle kwezihonqo.”
36 Saka ungano yakamubudisa kunze kwomusasa vakamutaka namabwe kusvikira afa, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
Ngakho abantu bamusa ngaphandle kwezihonqo bamkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
37 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
38 “Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari: ‘Kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvichatevera, munofanira kugadzira pfunha pamakona enguo dzenyu, dzinenge dzine tambo yebhuruu papfunha imwe neimwe.
“Tshela abako-Israyeli uthi kubo: ‘Kuzozonke izizukulwane ezizayo, kumele lithungele izixha zentshaka emiphethweni yezembatho zenu, isixha ngasinye sibe lentambo eluhlaza.
39 Muchava nepfunha idzi kuti mudzitarire uye naizvozvo mucharangarira zvakarayirwa naJehovha zvose, kuti muzviteerere mugorega kuita ufeve muchitevera kuchiva kwemwoyo yenyu nameso enyu.
Lizakhumbula imilayo yonke kaThixo njalo liyilalele izikhathi zonke nxa likhangela intshaka lezi ukuze lingazibhixi ngokulandela izinkanuko zezinhliziyo zenu kanye lamehlo enu liduhe.
40 Ipapo mucharangarira kuteerera mirayiro yangu yose uye muchazvitsaura kuti muve vanhu vaMwari wenyu.
Ngakho lizakhumbula ukuyilandela yonke imilayo yami ukuze lehlukaniselwe uNkulunkulu wenu.
41 Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, akakubudisai kubva muIjipiti kuti ndive Mwari wenyu. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.’”
Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, owalikhupha eGibhithe ukuze ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu. NginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.’”
