16 Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mosesi: “Tarira! Ucharara nemadzitateguru ako;+ uye vanhu ava vachasimuka+ voita unzenza navanamwari vokune imwe nyika vomunyika yavari kuenda kwairi,+ pakati pavo chaipo, uye vachandisiya+ voputsa sungano yangu yandakaita navo.+
17 Ndichabva ndavatsamwira kwazvo pazuva iroro,+ ndichavasiya+ ndovavanzira chiso changu,+ uye vachava chinhu chinofanira kuparadzwa; matambudziko mazhinji nenhamo zvichavawira,+ uye nezuva iroro vachati, ‘Matambudziko aya haana kutiwira nokuti Mwari wedu haasi pakati pedu here?’+
18 Asi ini ndichavanza chiso changu zvachose nezuva iroro nokuda kwezvakaipa zvose zvavanenge vaita, nokuti vanenge vaenda kune vamwe vanamwari.+
19 “Zvino nyorai rwiyo urwu+ murudzidzise vanakomana vaIsraeri.+ Ruisei mumiromo yavo kuti rwiyo urwu ruve chapupu changu kuvanakomana vaIsraeri.+
20 Nokuti ndichavaunza kunyika yandakapikira madzitateguru avo,+ inoyerera mukaka nouchi,+ uye vachadya,+ voguta, vokora+ uye votsaukira kune vamwe vanamwari,+ vachavashumira, vorega kundiremekedza, voputsa sungano yangu.+
21 Zvino kana matambudziko mazhinji nenhamo zvikavawira,+ rwiyo urwu ruchavapindura sechapupu, nokuti harufaniri kukanganwika mumiromo yevana vavo, nokuti ndinonyatsoziva mafungiro avo+ avari kutanga kuita nhasi ndisati ndavapinza munyika yandakapika nezvayo.”
22 Naizvozvo Mosesi akanyora rwiyo urwu pazuva iroro, kuti arudzidzise vanakomana vaIsraeri.+
23 Akarayira Joshua mwanakomana waNuni,+ akati: “Shinga, usimbe,+ nokuti iwe—ndiwe uchapinza vanakomana vaIsraeri munyika yandakavapikira,+ uye ini ndicharamba ndinewe.”
24 Zvino Mosesi paakanga angopedza kunyora mashoko omutemo uyu mubhuku kusvikira apera,+
25 Mosesi akatanga kurayira vaRevhi, vatakuri veareka yesungano yaJehovha,+ achiti:
