11 “Naizvozvo makauya pedyo, mukamira mujinga megomo, uye gomo racho rakanga richibvira moto kusvikira pakati pedenga; pakanga paine rima, gore nezarima.+
12 Jehovha akatanga kutaura nemi ari pakati pomoto+ wacho. Maingonzwa mashoko, asi hapana chimiro+ chamaiona—maingonzwa inzwi+ chete.
13 Akakuudzai sungano+ yake, yaakakurayirai kuti muite—iwo Mashoko Gumi,+ achibva azoanyora pamahwendefa maviri ematombo.+
14 Panguva iyoyo chaiyo ndini ndakarayirwa naJehovha kuti ndikudzidzisei mirau nezvakatongwa, kuti muzviite munyika yamuri kuyambukira kwairi kuti muitore, ive yenyu.+
15 “Munofanira kutarisira mweya yenyu zvakanaka,+ nokuti hapana chero chimiro+ chipi zvacho chamakaona pazuva rakataura Jehovha nemi muHorebhi ari pakati pomoto,
16 kuti murege kuita zvakaipa+ uye murege kuzvigadzirira mufananidzo wakavezwa, mufananidzo wechiratidzo chero wechinhu chipi zvacho, mufananidzo womunhurume kana kuti munhukadzi,+
17 mufananidzo wemhuka chero ipi zvayo iri panyika,+ mufananidzo weshiri chero ipi zvayo ine mapapiro inobhururuka mumatenga,+
18 mufananidzo wechinhu chero chipi zvacho chinofamba panyika, mufananidzo wehove+ chero ipi zvayo iri mumvura pasi penyika;
19 uye kuti murege kutarira kumatenga moona zuva nomwedzi nenyeredzi, uto rose rokumatenga, mukanyengedzwa, mukazvikotamira nokuzvishumira,+ izvo Jehovha Mwari wenyu akagovera marudzi ose ari pasi pematenga ose.+
20 Asi imi ndimi makatorwa naJehovha kuti akubudisei muvira resimbi,+ muIjipiti, kuti muve rudzi rwake pachake+ sezvazvakaita nhasi.
21 “Zvino Jehovha akanditsamwira kwazvo nokuda kwenyu,+ zvokuti akapika kuti handifaniri kuyambuka Jodhani kana kupinda munyika yakanaka yamuchapiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti ive nhaka yenyu.+
22 Nokuti ndichafira munyika ino.+ Handizoyambuki Jodhani, asi imi muchayambuka, uye munofanira kutora nyika iyi yakanaka kuti ive yenyu.
23 Chenjererai kuti murege kukanganwa sungano yaJehovha Mwari wenyu yaakaita nemi+ uye kuti murege kuzvigadzirira mufananidzo wakavezwa, mufananidzo wechinhu chero chipi zvacho chamakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti musagadzira.+
24 Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wako moto unoparadza,+ ndiMwari anoda kuzvipira kwakazara.+

26 ndinoshevedza matenga nenyika kuti zvikupupurirei nhasi,+ kuti chokwadi muchakurumidza kuparara panyika yamuri kuyambukira Jodhani kuti munoitora, ive yenyu. Hamuzovi nemazuva mazhinji pairi, nokuti chokwadi muchatsakatiswa.+
27 Jehovha achakuparadzirai pakati pemamwe marudzi,+ uye muchasiyiwa muri vashoma+ pakati pemarudzi amuchadzingirwa kwaari naJehovha.
28 Ikoko muchashumira vamwe vanamwari,+ basa remaoko omunhu, vematanda nevematombo,+ vasingagoni kuona kana kunzwa kana kudya kana kunhuhwidza.+
29 “Kana mukatsvaka Jehovha Mwari wenyu muri ikoko, muchamuwana,+ nokuti muchamutsvaka nemwoyo yenyu yose uye nemweya yenyu yose.+
30 Paunenge uchitambudzika kwazvo uye mashoko ose aya aitika kwauri pachapera mazuva acho, uchabva wadzokera kuna Jehovha Mwari wako+ uye uchateerera inzwi rake.+
31 Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wako ndiMwari ane ngoni.+ Haazokusiyi kana kukuparadza kana kukanganwa sungano+ yemadzitateguru ako yaakavapikira.
32 “Zvino ndapota, bvunza nezvemazuva ekare+ akavapo iwe usati wavapo, kubvira pazuva rakasikwa munhu panyika+ naMwari uye kubvira kune mumwe mugumo wematenga kusvikira kune mumwe mugumo wematenga, Chimwe chinhu chikuru chakadai chakamboitwa kuti chiitike here uye chimwe chinhu chakadai chakambonzwiwa here?+
33 Pane vamwe vanhu vakambonzwa inzwi raMwari richitaura riri pakati pomoto sokurinzwa kwawakaita, vakaramba vachirarama here?+
34 Kana kuti Mwari akamboedza kuzvitorera rudzi pakati porumwe rudzi achishandisa miedzo+ nezviratidzo+ nezvishamiso+ nehondo+ noruoko rune simba+ noruoko rwakatambanudzwa+ uye kutyisa kukuru+ sezvose zvamakaitirwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu muIjipiti imi muchizviona here?
35 Iwe—wakaratidzwa, kuti uzive kuti Jehovha ndiye Mwari wechokwadi;+ hakuna mumwe kunze kwake.+
36 Akaita kuti unzwe inzwi rake ari kumatenga kuti akururamise; uye akaita kuti uone moto wake mukuru panyika, uye wakanzwa mashoko ake achibva pakati pomoto.+
37 “Asi unoramba uchirarama, nokuti iye akada madzitateguru ako zvokuti akasarudza vana vawo vaiatevera,+ akakubudisa muIjipiti akakutarisa achishandisa simba+ rake guru,
38 kuti adzinge pamberi pako marudzi makuru neane simba kukupfuura, kuti aite kuti upinde imomo, kuti akupe nyika yawo kuti ive nhaka yako sezvazvakaita nhasi.+
39 Unonyatsoziva nhasi, uye unofanira kuyeuka nomwoyo wako kuti Jehovha ndiye Mwari wechokwadi kumatenga ari kumusoro nepanyika iri pasi.+ Hakuna mumwe.+
40 Unofanira kuchengeta mirau+ yake nemirayiro yake yandiri kukurayira nhasi, kuti zvikufambire zvakanaka+ iwe nevanakomana vako vanokutevera, uye kuti uve nemazuva mazhinji panyika yauri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wako,+ nguva dzose.”
