2 Lweetelelo, luumuno aluyando aziyungizigwe kulindinywe.
3 Nibayandwa, nikuba kuti ndakali kweezya munzila zyoonse kuti ndimulembele atala alufutuko ndutulaalo toonse, ndakazoobona kakuyandikana kuti ndimulembele, kandimusungwaazya kuti mululwanine changuzu lusyomo lwakapegwa kamwi biyo kubasalali. 4 Ndamulembela oobu, nkaambo aakati kanu, kuli bamwi bantu bakanjila kabasobelela, aabo bakasalwa aaMagwalo chiindi loko kuti babe aalubeta oolu. Mbantu batayoowi Leza, bachincha luzyalo lupati lwaLeza wesu kuti bajane kaambo kapa kuti bachite michito iitondwa* alubo tabasyomeki pe kuli simalelo wesu uuli aalikke aMwaami, Jesu Kkristu.
5 Nikuba kuti muzizi kabotu zyoonse eezi, pesi ndiyanda kumuyeezya kuti Jehova* naakafutula bantu kuti bazwe muchisi cha-Ijipita, wakazoonyonyoona aabo bakatatondeezya lusyomo. 6 Alubo ngilozi zyakatabamba ndawu yazyo yakusaanguna, pesi zyakasiya ndawu yazyo yakukkala iizyeelede, ulizibambide kazyaangidwe zyaanzyo zitadunsuki mumudima uusiya mbi, kuti zizoobetekwe mubuzuba bupati. 7 Munzila iikozyenie, bantu bamuSodoma aGomora abamumyuunzi yakabazyungulukide, bakalibbide mukuchita bwaamu* alubo bakali kutobela zintu ziyandwa aamibili yabo zitondwa, bantu aaba nchikozyano chituchenjezya kwiinda mukubetekwa mumulilo uutamani.
8 Nikuba oobo, bantu aaba mbaasiziloto, babisya mibili yabo, tabalemeki bweendelezi alubo baambuula zintu zibi atala abaabo balemekwa. 9 Pesi chiindi Mikkayeli ngilozi mpati naakali kukazyania aaDyabbulosi atala achidumbu chaMozesi, taakwe naakamubeteka pe nikuba kumubuzya majwi mabi, pesi wakati: “Jehova* akukalalile.” 10 Pesi bantu aaba baambuula majwi mabi atala azintu zyoonse nzibatamvwisisisyi kabotu. Alubo muzintu zyoonse nzibamvwisisisya kwiinda mumaanu aakulengwaawo mbuli banyama batayeeyi, balikulipambanisya.

14 Kwaamba choonzyo, Inokki muntu wamusanu ababili kuzwa kuli Adamu, anguwe wakapolofita atala ambabo naakati: “Amubone! Jehova* wakaza aamakumi aazyuulu aangilozi zyakwe zisalala 15 kuti azoobeteke bantu boonse, akubapa mulandu bantu boonse batayoowi Leza akaambo kamichito yabo mibi yoonse njibakachita yakutayoowa Leza, kuswaanizya amajwi mabi woonse ngibakaambuula atala anguwe basizibi batayoowi Leza.”
16 Bantu aaba mbaasikusyolooka, mbaasikung’ung’una atala azintu nzibalaazyo mubuumi, batobela zintu ziyandwa aamibili yabo alubo milomo yabo yaambuula zintu zyakulisumpula, kumwi kabalumbayizya bamwi chakuupa-wupa* kuti bajane nzibayanda.
17 Pesi inywe nibayandwa, amuyeeye makani aakaambwa* chiindi abaapostoli baMwaami wesu Jesu Kkristu, 18 bakali kukkala kabamubuzya kuti: “Kuchiindi chakumamanino, kuzooba basikuseka, batobela ziyandwa aamibili yabo kuti bachite zintu zitondeezya kuti tabamuyoowi pe Leza.” 19 Aaba mbabo bapa kuti kube kwaanzaana, mbanyama,* tabakwe muuya waLeza pe. 20 Pesi inywe nibayandwa, amuliyake mulusyomo lwanu lusalalisya alubo mukombe mumuuya uusalala, 21 kuchitila kuti mukkale kamuli muluyando lwaLeza, kumwi kamulindila lweetelelo lwaMwaami wesu Jesu Kkristu, lupa kuti mukajane buumi butamani. 22 Alubo, amwiinkilile kunembo kubeetelela aabo bazumbuuzya, 23 amubavune kwiinda mukubagwisya chakufwambaana mumulilo. Pesi amwiinkilile kunembo kubeetelela bamwi, muchite oobo kamuyoowa, kumwi kamuzonda nichiba chigogo chakabisigwa aamichito yanyama.
24 Kuli yooyo uukonzya kumukwabilila kuti mutalebwi akupa kuti mukkale kamutakwe bubi kunembo lyabulemu bwakwe* akukondwa kupati, 25 kuli Leza uuli aalikke, Mufutuli wesu, kwiinda muli Jesu Kkristu Mwaami wesu, akube bulemu, bupati, manguzu, abweendelezi kuzwa lili alili, asunu, kusikila kukabe kutamani.
