17 “‘“Pele bakandeetezya, aboobo tiindakabanyonyoona pe; tiindakabamana kubanyonyoona munkanda.
18 Ndakaambila bana babo munkanda+ kuti, ‘Tamweelede kweenda mumilawo yabamauso,+ nokuba kutobela mbeta zyabo naa kulisofwaazya amituni yabo iisesemya.
19 Ndime Jehova Leza wanu. Amweende mumilawo yangu, amutobele mbeta zyangu akuzicita.+
20 Alimwi amusalazye masabata aangu,+ eelyo alaba citondezyo akati kandime andinywe, kutegwa muzyibe kuti ndime Jehova Leza wanu.’+
21 “‘“Pele bana aabo bakatalika kundizangila.+ Tiibakeenda mumilawo yangu alimwi tiibakatobela akucita mbeta zyangu, eezyo zinga, ikuti muntu wazitobela, ulaba abuumi kwiinda mulinzizyo. Bakasampaula masabata aangu. Aboobo ndakaamba kuti ndiyoobatila bukali bwangu, akubanyemena kapati munkanda.+
22 Nokuba boobo ndakalijata+ akubweza ntaamu akaambo kazina lyangu,+ kutegwa litasampaulwi kumasi, aayo aakali kulangilila ciindi nindakabagusya.*
23 Alimwi ndakakonka kulimbabo munkanda kuti ndiyoobamwaya akati kamasi akubapalanganya muzisi,+

25 Aboobo andime ndakabaleka kuti batobele milawo iitali kabotu alimwi ambeta zyatakali kukonzya kubapa buumi.+
26 Ndakabalekela kuti basofwaazyigwe azipaizyo zyabo, ciindi nobakabaumpa* mumulilo+ bana babo boonse bataanzi kuzyalwa, kutegwa banyonyoonwe, akuti bazyibe kuti ndime Jehova.”’
27 “Aboobo, yebo omwanaamuntu kobandika abamuŋanda ya Israyeli, ubaambile kuti, ‘Mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: “Munzila njimunya eeyi abalo bamauso bakandisampaula kwiinda mukutasyomeka kulindime.
28 Ndakabaleta mucisi ncondakakonka kuti ndiyoobapa.+ Nobakabona tulundu toonse tulamfwu azisamu zyoonse zifwefwema,+ bakatalika kutuula zipaizyo zyabo azituuzyo zyabo zinyemya. Bakatuula bweema bununkilila bwazipaizyo zyabo akutila zituuzyo zyabo zinyugwa nkomunya ooko.
29 Aboobo ndakababuzya kuti, ‘Ino busena oobu bwakukombela nkomuunka bwaamba nzi? (Asunu buciitwa kuti Busena Bwakukombela.*)’”’+
30 “Lino kobaambila bamuŋanda ya Israyeli kuti, ‘Mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: “Sena andinywe mulalisofwaazya mbubonya bwakacita bamauso kwiinda mukutobela mituni yabo iisesemya kuti mucite buvwuule bwakumuuya anjiyo?+
31 Sena asunu mucilisofwaazya kwiinda mukutuula zipaizyo kumituni yanu yoonse iisesemya, nomuumpa* bana banu mumulilo?+ Aciindi nciconya eeci, sena mebo ndeelede kumuvwiila nywebo nobamuŋanda ya Israyeli?”’+
“‘Masimpe, mebo mbondili muumi,’ mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova, ‘tandikoomuvwiila pe.+
32 Alimwi eeco ncomuyeeya tacikacitiki pe, nomwaamba kuti, “Atube mbubonya mbuli masi aambi, mbuli misyobo yamuzisi zimbi, eeyo iikomba zisamu amabwe.”’”+
33 “‘Masimpe, mebo mbondili muumi,’ mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova, ‘Ndilaba mwami wanu akumweendelezya ajanza lyanguzu, akuboko kutandabede, alimwi abukali bupati.+
34 Ndilamugwisya akati kabantu akumubunganya kuzwa kuzisi ooko nkomwakamwailidwe, ajanza lyanguzu, akuboko kutandabikidwe alimwi abukali bupati.+

36 “‘Mbubonya mbondakababeteka bamauso munkanda yacisi ca Egepita, andinywe mbondiyoomubeteka,’ mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova.
37 ‘Ndiyoomupa kwiinda kunsi aamusako wamweembezi+ akumupa kwaangwa acizuminano.
38 Nokuba boobo, akati kanu ndiyoogwisya bazangi alimwi abaabo bandibisyila.+ Nkaambo ndiyoobagwisya mucisi mobakkede kabali bamuzwakule, pele tabakanjili mucisi ca Israyeli;+ aboobo muyoozyiba kuti ndime Jehova.’
39 “Lino nywebo nobamuŋanda ya Israyeli, mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: ‘Umwi aumwi wanu kaya akabelekele mituni yakwe iisesemya.+ Pele kuzwa waawo, ikuti naa mutandiswiilili, tamukacikonzyi limbi kulisampaula zina lyangu lisalala kwiinda muzipaizyo zyanu alimwi amituni yanu iisesemya.’+
40 “‘Nkaambo kucilundu cangu cisalala, atala aacilundu cilamfwu ca Israyeli,’+ mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova, ‘nkonkuko bamuŋanda ya Israyeli, boonse buyo, nkobayoondibelekela mucisi.+ Ookuya ndiyoobakkomanina alimwi ndiyoozitambula zyakusanga zyanu alimwi amicelo mitaanzi yazituuzyo zyanu, nkokuti zintu zyanu zyoonse zisalala.+
41 Akaambo kabweema bununkilila, ndiyoomukkomanina ciindi nondiyoomugusya akati kabantu bambi akumubunganya kuzwa kuzisi zimbi ooko nkomwakamwailidwe;+ eelyo ndiyoolibonya kuti ndilasalala akati kanu mumeso aabantu bamasi.’+
42 “‘Eelyo muyoozyiba kuti ndime Jehova,+ ndaakumuleta mucisi ca Israyeli,+ inzya mucisi eeco ncondakakonka kuti ndiyoocipa bamauso.
43 Alimwi oomo muyoobuyeeya bukkale bwanu alimwi amicito yanu yoonse eeyo njomwakacita yakulisofwaazya,+ eelyo muyoolisesemwa nobeni akaambo kazintu zyoonse zibi nzyomwakacita.+

45 Alimwi ijwi lya Jehova lyakandisikila kaliti:
46 “Omwanaamuntu, kolanzya busyu bwako kucooko cakumusanza waambilizye majwi kumusanza, alimwi akusinsimina cisaka camusyokwe cakumusanza.
47 Ambila cisaka cakumusanza kuti, ‘Komvwa jwi lya Jehova.

Mulilo ooyo uuvwilima taukazimwi pe, alimwi masyu oonse alaumpwa anguwo,+ kuzwa kumusanza kusikila kunyika.
48 Eelyo bantu boonse bayoobona kuti mebo lwangu nde Jehova ndime ndacidoneka cisaka, cakuti mulilo taukazimwi pe.”’”+
49 Mpoonya ndakaamba kuti: “Akaka, O Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova! Bandaamba kuti, ‘Sena ooyu taambauli buyo mutulabi?’”
