3 “Nawike pova Amoo, nawike pova Moambe upondola okukala pokati kovanthu va Siovaa.+ Aveho vakatuka-tuka muvo, nawike kumbi ukaliata pokati kovanthu va Siovaa,
4 mokonda pokutunda ko Isitu+ kavemupele okulia, nomeva vala kavemupele, soka nkhee vekemwiihanenene Mbalaau omona wa Mbeole wo ko Petole, ko Mesopotamia, emuteyele onkhano.*+
5 Mahi Siovaa Huku yenyi, ehetavela etyi Mbalaau+ ahandele. Siovaa Huku yenyi etyipilulula, Mbalaau ehemuteyela onkhano, emupe elao,+ mokonda Siovaa Huku yenyi umuhole.+
6 Ononthiki ambuho una omwenyo, ove weheveovolele ombembwa, wehevehandele oviwa.+

8 Onomphokole mbavo vapondola okukakala novanthu va Siovaa.
9 “Tyina woonga onthanda na ulwise onondyale mbove, wahakale neetyi tyasila.*+
10 Ine omulume umwe ukala tyasila, hamwe welisilisa neehu kounthiki,+ monthanda una okutunda-mo, ahakondoka-mo vali.
11 Tyina tyiti komakumbi elikohe nomeva, akondoka vala monthanda tyina ekumbi linyingila.+
12 Muna okukoya apa mamwiila-ila kohika, kondye yonthanda, ngako mwenda-enda nako.
13 Povityuma uundapa navio pakale okatemo. Tyina wenda kondye, heya etoto, ngapo ulingila, ohihila-ko.

15 “Ine umona omupika umwe wahena ou aundapela, weya kwoove, ove wehemukondole-ko.
16 Omupika oo upondola okukala apa ahanda momapunda-umbo enyi, mwene akoye apa ahanda. Wehemulinge onya.+
17 “Ovafikwena aveho ovana vova Isilayeli, pahamone ou ulinga ekunga,+ alingila ovivi mondywo yokufendela. Ovakwendye aveho ovana vova Isilayeli, pahamone ou ulinga ekunga,+ alingila ovivi mondywo yokufendela.
18 Onombongo* mbafetwa ekunga, lilinge ekunga liomukai, lilinge liomulume* ove wehembutwale mondywo ya Siovaa Huku yove, nii mbahafete pomphango imwe yalingilwe, ombo onombongo Siovaa Huku yove atoya.
19 “Tyina utantha ongele mukwenyi mulikwai nae una ongele yove,+ wahatyitise onombongo mbove, wahayawisilwe kokulia walevasile, nii kotyipuka otyikwavo.
20 Tyitisa vala ongele yonthunda-vilongo,+ mahi mukwenyi mulikwai nae, wehemulinge ngootyo,+ wehemulinge ngootyo opo Siovaa Huku yove ekuyamba movipuka aviho mokalinga motyilongo mopewa.+
21 “Ine ulinga omphango ulingile Siovaa Huku yove+ otyipuka tyimwe, wahasete, tyilinga umwe.+ Siovaa Huku yove, mekutanthe-tyo, ove okwehetyilingi pahe opo onkhali.+
22 Mahi ine kwalingile omphango naike, opo kwalingile onkhali.+
23 Mahi tyamatundu momulungu wove, tyilinga umwe,+ linga etyi omulungu wove wapanga tyilinge ngatyina walinga otyali Siovaa Huku yove.+
24 “Ine unyingila motyitaka tya mukwenyi, muna omiti vionouva, nyanga-ko onouva oli okuta,* mahi wahanyange opake motyipapo tyove.+
25 “Ine unyingila mepia lya mukwenyi liovilia, tenga-mo nomavoko ove evi viayela-le, mahi wahakwatele ofoso ovikuna vya mukwenyi.+
