Lewa profesiya yakulewa bza amakabusa yakuti: ‘Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu akuti: “Tsoka kwa amakabusa wa Jirayeri, omwe ambandobzisamalira* iwo okha basi. Kodi ni mabira lini yomwe iwo akhafunika kuyasamalira?*
3 Imwepo mumbadya mafuta, mumbabvala bzakubvala bzabwino kwene-kwene ndipo mumbapha cifuwo cakunenepa, tsono mumbasamalira lini mabirayo.
4 Mulibe kulimbisa mabira yakutepa, kusamalira yakuduwala, kumanga na ligadura yomwe yana bzironda, kubweza yomwe yakhadabzipambula na yanzace ne kukanyang’ana yomwe yakhadataika. M’mbuto mwace mwayatsogolera mwaukali na mwadima.
5 Ndipopa iyo yadabalalisidwa thangwe pakhalibe makabusa. Yadabalalisidwa ndipo yadakhala cakudya ca bzirombo bzentse bza m’thengo.
6 Mabira yangu yadataika m’mapiri yentse na m’tumapiri tung’ono-tung’ono. Mabira yangu yadabalalika pa dziko lentse la pantsi ndipo palibe omwe adayanyang’ana kuti akayatenge.
7 “‘“Tenepo imwe amakabusa, tetekerani mafala ya Yahova yakuti:

9 tenepo imwe amakabusa, tetekerani mafala ya Yahova yakuti:
10 Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: ‘Nin’dzalanga amakabusa ndipo iwo an’dzatawira mulandu thangwe ra bzinthu bzomwe acitira mabira yangu, ndipo nin’dzabvuma lini pomwe kuti iwo asamalire mabira yangu. Amakabusawo an’dzabzisamalira lini pomwe okha. Nin’dzapulumusa mabira yangu m’kamwa mwawo ndipo iwo an’dzayadya lini pomwe.’”
11 “‘Pakuti Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: “Ine ndiri pano. Ine nin’dzanyang’ana ndekha mabira yangu na kuyasamalira.
12 Nin’dzasamalira mabira yangu ninga momwe ambacitira makabusa omwe wagumana mabira yace yomwe yakhadabalalika aciyasamalira. Nin’dzayapulumusa kuli-kwentse komwe yadabalalisidwira pa ntsiku ya mitambo na ya mdima ukulu.
13 Nin’dzayacosa pakati pa mitundu ya wanthu ndiciyatsonkhanisa m’madziko, ndipo nin’dzayayendesa m’dziko lawo na kuyacitisa kuti yadye m’mapiri ya Jirayeri, m’mbuto zomwe zina mikulo ya madzi na mbuto zentse zakukhalidwa na wanthu m’dzikolo.
14 Nin’dzayayendesa pa mbuto ya mauswa yabwino kuti yakadye ndipo mbuto yakudyerayo iri m’mapiri matali-matali ya Jirayeri. Kumweko yan’dzagona pa mauswa yabwino ndipo yan’dzadya mauswa yabwino m’mapiri ya Jirayeri.”
15 “‘“Nin’dzasamalira ndekha mabira yangu, ndipo nin’dzayapasa mbuto kuti yagone,” walewa tenepo Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu.
16 “Nin’dzanyang’ana bira omwe wataika, nin’dzabweresa omwe akhadabzipambula na mwanzace, nin’dzamanga na ligadura omwe akhadapwetekeka, nin’dzalimbisa wakutepa ndipo nin’dzapha wakunenepa na wamphanvu. Inepano nin’dzayatonga ndipo nin’dzayapasa cirango cakuthemera.”
17 “‘Pakulewa bza imwepo mabira yangu, Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: “Ndasala pang’ono kutonga bira ali-wentse payekha, pakati pa mabvululume na atonde.
18 Kodi mpsakukwanira lini kudyera m’mbuto zomwe zina mauswa yabwino? Kodi mukhafunika kuponda-ponda mauswa yentse yakusala pa mbuto zanu zakudyera? Pomwe mwamala kumwa madzi yakucena, kodi yakusala mukhafunika kuyaponda-ponda muciyapswipiza?
19 Kodi mabira yangu ndiyo yomwe yakhafunika kudya mauswa yomwe imwepo mwaponda-ponda na kumwa madzi yomwe imwepo mwapswipiza na minyendo yanu?”
20 “‘Pakuti Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: “Ine ndiri pano. Inepano nin’dzatonga bira wakunenepa na wakuwonda,
21 pakuti imwepo mukupitiriza kumbagwinyana na thupi lanu na phewa lanu ndipo mukhasuntha na nyanga zanu mabira yentse yakuduwala mpaka iyo kubalalika.
22 Ine nin’dzapulumusa mabira yangu, ndipo iyo yan’dzasiya kukhala nyama yakuphatidwa ndipo nin’dzatonga bira ali-wentse payekha.
23 Nin’dzayapasa m’busa m’bodzi, omwe ni mtumiki wangu Davide ndipo iye an’dzayasamalira.* Iye an’dzayasamaliradi* acikhala makabusa wawo.
24 Ine Yahova nin’dzakhala Mulungu wawo ndipo mtumiki wangu Davide an’dzakhala mtsogoleri pakati pawo. Ndine Yahova omwe ndalewa.
25 “‘“Nin’dzacita nayo mpangano wa mtendere ndipo nin’dzapulumusa dzikoli ku bzirombo bzaukali kuti yadzakhale mwakukhotcerereka m’dambo na kugona m’thengo.
26 Nin’dzacitisa kuti mabirayo na mbuto zakuzungulira phiri langu zikhale bzisimbo, ndipo nin’dzacitisa kuti nvula igwe pa nthawe yace. Kun’dzawoneka bzisimbo bzizinji ninga kubvumba kwa nvula.
27 Miti ya m’munda in’dzabala bzisapo, bzakudya bzin’dzabala bwino pa mataka ndipo mabira yangu yan’dzakhala mwakukhotcerereka m’dzikomo. Ndipo iyo yan’dzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova, ndikadzatcola djoki lawo na kuyapulumusa kwa wale omwe akhayaboneresa.
28 Iyo yan’dzakhala lini pomwe nyama yakuphatidwa kwa mitundu ya wanthu, ndipo bzirombo bza m’thengo bza pa dziko la pantsi bzin’dzayadya lini pomwe. Iyo yan’dzakhala mwakukhotcerereka ndipo palibe omwe an’dzayagopswa.
29 “‘“Nin’dzayapasa mbuto yomwe in’dzakhala yakubvekera thangwe ra bzomwe bzin’dzamera pa mbutoyo. Iyo yan’dzafa lini pomwe na njala m’dzikomo ndipo ne yan’dzanyozedwa lini pomwe na mitundu ya wanthu.
30 ‘Iwo an’dzadziwa kuti ine Yahova Mulungu wawo, ndinawo pabodzi, ndipo Ajirayeri ni wanthu wangu,’ walewa tenepo Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu.”’
31 “‘Imwe mabira yangu, mabira yomwe nimbayasamalira, imwepo ndimwe wanthu, koma ine ndine Mulungu wanu,’ walewa tenepo Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu.”
