ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​သည်​ငါ့​အား​မိန့်​တော်​မူ​သည်​မှာ၊
2 “మీరు ఈ నిబంధన మాటలు వినండి. యూదా ప్రజలతో, యెరూషలేము నివాసులతో ఇలా చెప్పు.

3 ఇశ్రాయేలు దేవుడైన యెహోవా చెప్పేదేమంటే, ఈ నిబంధన మాటలు వినని వాడు శాపానికి గురౌతాడు.
4 ఐగుప్తుదేశం అనే ఆ ఇనప కొలిమిలో నుండి నేను మీ పూర్వికులను రప్పించిన రోజున నేను ఈ ఆజ్ఞ ఇచ్చాను, ‘నేను మీ పూర్వికులకు పాలు తేనెలు ప్రవహించే దేశాన్ని ఇస్తానని వారికి చేసిన ప్రమాణాన్ని నెరవేర్చేలా, మీరు నా వాక్యం విని నేను మీకిచ్చే ఆజ్ఞలను బట్టి ఈ నిబంధన వాక్యాలను అనుసరిస్తే మీరు నా ప్రజలుగా, నేను మీ దేవుడుగా ఉంటాను.’”
ထို​ပ​ဋိ​ညာဉ်​သည်​သူ​တို့​၏​ဘိုး​ဘေး​များ​အား သံ​မီး​ဖို​ကြီး​နှင့်​တူ​သော​အီ​ဂျစ်​ပြည်​မှ ငါ ထုတ်​ဆောင်​လာ​စဉ်​အ​ခါ​က​ချုပ်​ဆို​ခဲ့​သည့် ပဋိ​ညာဉ်​ဖြစ်​၏။ ငါ​သည်​ထို​သူ​တို့​အား​ငါ့ စ​ကား​ကို​နား​ထောင်​ကြ​ရန်၊ ငါ​ခိုင်း​စေ​သ​မျှ သော​အ​မှု​တို့​ကို​ပြု​လုပ်​ကြ​ရန်​မှာ​ကြား​ခဲ့ ၏။ အ​ကယ်​၍​သူ​တို့​သည်​ငါ​၏​စ​ကား​ကို နား​ထောင်​ကြ​မည်​ဆို​ပါ​မူ ငါ​၏​လူ​မျိုး တော်​ဖြစ်​ရ​ကြ​လျက်၊ ငါ​သည်​လည်း​သူ​တို့ ၏​ဘုရား​ဖြစ်​တော်​မူ​မည်။-
5 అందుకు నేను “యెహోవా, అలాగే జరుగు గాక” అన్నాను.
ထို​နောက်​ယ​ခု​သူ​တို့​နေ​ထိုင်​လျက်​ရှိ​ရာ​နို့ နှင့်​ပျား​ရည်​စီး​သည့်​ပြည်​ကို သူ​တို့​၏​ဘိုး ဘေး​များ​အား​ပေး​အပ်​ရန်​ငါ​ပြု​ခဲ့​သည့် သစ္စာ​က​တိ​ကို​လည်း​တည်​စေ​မည်​ဖြစ် ကြောင်း​သူ​တို့​အား​ငါ​ပြော​ကြား​ခဲ့​၏။ ငါ​က``မှန်​လှ​ပါ၊ အို ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား'' ဟု လျှောက်​လေ​၏။
6 యెహోవా నాతో ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “నువ్వు యూదా పట్టణాల్లో, యెరూషలేము వీధుల్లో ఈ మాటలు ప్రకటించు. ‘మీరు ఈ నిబంధన మాటలు విని వాటిని పాటించండి.’
ထို​အ​ခါ​ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​က ငါ့​အား``ယု​ဒ မြို့​များ​နှင့်​ယေ​ရု​ရှ​လင်​လမ်း​များ​သို့​သွား လော့။ ထို​အ​ရပ်​တို့​တွင်​ငါ​၏​ဗျာ​ဒိတ်​တော်​ကို ကြေ​ညာ​ကာ၊ ပ​ဋိ​ညာဉ်​တော်​တွင်​ပါ​ရှိ​သည့် အ​ချက်​အ​လက်​များ​ကို​နား​ထောင်​လိုက်​နာ ကျင့်​သုံး​ရန်​သူ​တို့​အား​ပြော​ကြား​လော့။-
7 ఐగుప్తులో నుండి మీ పూర్వికులను రప్పించిన రోజు మొదలుకుని నేటివరకూ వారితో ‘నా మాట వినండి’ అని నేను గట్టిగా, ఖండితంగా చెబుతూ వచ్చాను.
သူ​တို့​၏​ဘိုး​ဘေး​များ​အား​အီ​ဂျစ်​ပြည်​မှ ထုတ်​ဆောင်​လာ​စဉ်​အ​ခါ​က ငါ​သည်​သူ​တို့ အား​ငါ​၏​စ​ကား​ကို​နား​ထောင်​ကြ​ရန်​ကြပ် တည်း​စွာ​သ​တိ​ပေး​ခဲ့​၏။ ယ​နေ့​ထိ​တိုင် အောင်​ဆက်​လက်​၍​သ​တိ​ပေး​၏။-
8 అయినా వారు తమ దుష్టహృదయంతో, మూర్ఖులై నడుచుకుంటూ నామాట వినలేదు. ఈ నిబంధన మాటలన్నిటినీ అనుసరించి నడవమని చెప్పినా వారు వినలేదు కాబట్టి నేను ఆ నిబంధనలోని శాపాలన్నిటినీ వారి మీదికి రప్పిస్తాను.”
သို့​ရာ​တွင်​သူ​တို့​သည်​ငါ့​စ​ကား​ကို​နား​မ ထောင်​ကြ။ လိုက်​နာ​မှု​လည်း​မ​ပြု​ကြ။ သူ​တို့ အား​လုံး​ပင်​ခေါင်း​မာ​မြဲ​ခေါင်း​မာ​လျက်​ဆိုး ညစ်​မြဲ​ဆိုး​ညစ်​လျက်​နေ​ကြ​၏။ ငါ​သည်​သူ တို့​အား​လိုက်​နာ​ရန်​အ​မိန့်​ချ​မှတ်​ထား​လျက် နှင့်​သူ​တို့​မ​လိုက်​နာ​ကြ​သော ပ​ဋိ​ညာဉ်​တော် တွင်​ဖော်​ပြ​ပါ​ရှိ​သည့်​ကျိန်​စာ​များ​ကို​သူ တို့​အ​ပေါ်​သို့​သက်​ရောက်​စေ​၏'' ဟု​မိန့်​တော် မူ​၏။
9 యెహోవా నాతో ఇలా చెప్పాడు. “యూదా ప్రజల్లో, యెరూషలేము నివాసుల్లో ఒక కుట్ర జరుగుతున్నట్టు కనిపిస్తున్నది.

၁၁ထို့​ကြောင့်​သူ​တို့​အ​ပေါ်​သို့​ငါ​သက်​ရောက် စေ​မည့်​ဘေး​အန္တ​ရာယ်​ဆိုး​မှ​သူ​တို့​သည် လွတ်​မြောက်​ကြ​လိမ့်​မည်​မ​ဟုတ်​ကြောင်း ငါ​ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​သ​တိ​ပေး​၏။ ကူ​မ တော်​မူ​ရန်​သူ​တို့​ဟစ်​အော်​ကြ​သော​အ​ခါ ၌​လည်း​ငါ​နား​ထောင်​လိမ့်​မည်​မ​ဟုတ်။-
