19 Pa mwezi wacitatu pidamala kubuluka Aizraeli mu dziko ya Ejitu, pa ntsiku ineyi,* iwo afika kuthando ya Sinai. 2 Iwo abuluka ku Refidhimu,+ afika kuthando ya Sinai mbamanga misasa nʼthando. Aizraeli amanga misasa yawo kweneko cifupi na phiri ya Sinai.+
3 Penepo Mose akwira paphiri toera kuonana na Mulungu wandimomwene. Yahova ancemera paphiri,+ mbalonga: “Ipi ndipyo pinafunika iwe kupanga dzindza ya Yakobe, mbudziwisa Aizraeli kuti: 4 ‘Imwe mwaona mwekhene na maso anu pidacita ine kuna Aejitu,+ pontho kuti ndakuthukulani tani ninga munathukula capungu anace padzulu pa maphapido ace, mbandikubweresani kuna ine.+ 5 Cincino, imwe mungabvera fala yanga mu pinthu pyonsene, mbamutoweza cibverano canga, mwandimomwene imwe munadzakhala mbumba yanga yakusankhulwa* pakati pa mbumba zonsene,+ thangwi dziko yonsene ndi yanga.+ 6 Kwa ine, imwe munadzakhala umambo wa anyantsembe* na dzindza yakucena.’+ Anewa ndi mafala anafunika iwe kupanga Aizraeli.”
7 Natenepa Mose aenda, acemeresa akulu a mbumba mbaapanga mafala onsene adapangwa iye+ na Yahova. 8 Mbumba yonsene yatawira pabodzi pene: “Tiri dzololo toera kucita pyonsene pidalonga Yahova.”+ Mwakucimbiza Mose aenda kadziwisa Yahova mafala adalonga mbumba. 9 Penepo Yahova apanga Mose: “Bvesera, ine ndinabwera kuna iwe, mbandilonga na iwe kubulukira pa khole yakupswipa, toera anthu abve ndingalonga na iwe, pontho toera akukhulupire.” Natenepa Mose apanga Yahova mafala adalonga mbumba.
10 Yahova apanga Mose: “Ndoko kuna mbumba, icenese lero na mangwana, pontho iwo asafunika afule nguwo zawo. 11 Pa ntsiku yacitatu iwo asafunika akhale akukhunganyika, thangwi pa ntsiku ineyi Yahova anatcita Paphiri ya Sinai pamaso pa mbumba yonsene. 12 Khazikisa madire kuna mbumba nʼkhundu mwa phiri yonsene, mbuapanga: ‘Citani mphole-mphole toera mukhonde kukwira paphiri peno kukhuya tsinde yace. Ule anafuna kukhuya phiri, mwakukhonda penula anaphiwa. 13 Nkhabe anafunika kuphata munthu wakuti ali na mulando, iye asafunika kuponyerwa miyala peno kulaswa.* Munthu unoyu asafunika kuphiwa,+ mwakukhonda tsalakana khala ndi cinyama peno munthu.’ Mbwenye nyanga ya bira ingalizwa,+ iwo anakwanisa kufendedzera phiri.”
14 Natenepa Mose atcita paphiri, aenda kuna mbumba mbatoma kuicenesa, pontho iwo afula nguwo zawo.+ 15 Iye apanga mbumba: “Pa ntsiku yacitatu musafunika kukhala akukhunganyika. Lekani kupita mʼmabonde na akazanu.”*
16 Pa ntsiku yacitatu namacibese, kwabveka njazi kunja mbakucetuma, penepo khole ikulu+ yaphimbira phiri yonsene, pontho kwabvekambo kulira kwa nyanga mwamphambvu, natenepa mbumba yonsene pa nsasa yatoma kutetemera.+ 17 Mose abulusa mbumba kunja kwa nsasa toera iende kaonana na Mulungu wandimomwene, iwo alimira pa tsinde ya phiri. 18 Phiri yonsene ya Sinai ikhabuluka utci, thangwi Yahova akhadatcita paphiri ninga malirimi a moto;+ utci ukhakwira ninga utci unabuluka pa forno,* phiri yonsene ikhatekenyeka kakamwe.+ 19 Nyanga pikhathimizirika iyo kulira kakamwe, Mose alonga, pontho Mulungu wandimomwene antawira.
20 Yahova atcita Paphiri ya Sinai, pa ntsonga ya phiri. Yahova acemera Mose pa ntsonga ya phiri, Mose mbakwira.+ 21 Yahova apanga Mose: “Tcita, ndoko kacenjeze mbumba toera ikhonde kunumpha madire toera kuona Yahova; thangwi iwo angacita pyenepi azinji a iwo anadzafa. 22 Pontho anyantsembe akuti ndzidzi onsene asafendedzera Yahova, asafunika aceneseke toera Yahova akhonde kuapha.”* + 23 Penepo Mose apanga Yahova: “Mbumba nee inakwanisa kukwira Paphiri ya Sinai thangwi imwe mwaticenjeza kale kuti: ‘Khazikisa madire nʼkhundu mwa phiri mbuicenesa.’”+ 24 Mbwenye Yahova ampanga: “Ndoko, tcita, ungamala, kwira paphiri pabodzi na Aroni, mbwenye leka kutawirisa kuti mbumba na anyantsembe anumphe madire kuenda kuna Yahova, toera iye akhonde kuapha.”+ 25 Natenepa Mose atcita mpaka kuna mbumba mbaapanga pyenepi.
