3 Ndaimbozviratidza kuna Abrahamu, Isaka, naJakobho saMwari Wemasimbaose,+ asi handina kuita kuti vandizive+ nezita rangu rekuti Jehovha.+
4 Ndakaitawo sungano navo kuti ndivape nyika yeKenani, nyika yavaigara vari vatorwa.+
5 Ini pachangu ndanzwa kugomera kwevaIsraeri, vari kuitwa varanda nevaIjipiti, uye ndayeuka sungano yangu.+
6 “Saka udza vaIsraeri kuti: ‘Ndini Jehovha, uye ndichakubvisai pamabasa anorema evaIjipiti ndokununurai pauranda,+ uye ndichakusunungurai neruoko rwakatambanudzwa* uye nekuvapa mitongo mikuru.+
7 Uye ndichakutorai kuti muve vanhu vangu, ndova Mwari wenyu,+ uye muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu ari kukubvisai pamabasa anorema evaIjipiti.
8 Uye ndichakupinzai munyika yandakapika* kuti ndichapa Abrahamu, Isaka, naJakobho; uye ndichakupai kuti ive yenyu.+ Ndini Jehovha.’”+
