10 Lamulo ni ciratizo ca bzinthu bzabwino bzomwe bzikubwera, tsono sikuti bzinthu caibzo, thangwe Lamulolo lingacitise lini wale omwe ambafenderera Mulungu kukhala wakulungama mwakuphatisa basa ntsembe zomwe ambakhala akupereka gole na gole. 2 Bzingadakhala kuti ntsembe zimbacitisa wanthu kukhala wakulungama, kodi iwo angadapitiriza kumbapereka ntsembezo? Pakuti wale omwe ambabweresa ntsembe acicenesedwa, angadabzibva lini pomwe kuti ana mulandu wa pikado. 3 Tsono mwakusiyana na bzimwebzi, ntsembezo zikhawakumbusa pikado zawo, gole liri-lentse. 4 Pakuti bzingakwanisike lini kuti mulopa wa mkono wa ng’ombe na wa tonde ucose pikado.

5 Pomwe adabwera pa dziko la pantsi, iye adati: “‘Imwepo mulibe kufuna ntsembe ne bzakupereka koma mudandikonzera thupi. 6 Imwepo mulibe kubvuma ntsembe zakucita kutentha na ntsembe za pikado.’ 7 Na tenepo ine ndidati: ‘Onani! Inepano ndabwera (m’bukhu* mudanembedwa bza ine) kuti ndidzacite kufuna kwanu, Imwe Mulungu.’” 8 Cakuyamba iye akuti: “Imwepo mulibe kufuna ne kubvuma ntsembe na bzakupereka pabodzi na ntsembe zakucita kutentha na ntsembe za pikado,” zomwe ni ntsembe zakuperekedwa mwakubverana na Lamulo. 9 Patsogolo pace iye akuti: “Onani! Inepano ndabwera kudzacita kufuna kwanu.” Iye amalisa cinthu comwe n’cakuyamba* kuti akhazikise caciwiri.* 10 Mwakubverana na “kufuna” kumweku, ifepano tacenesedwa thangwe ra ntsembe ya thupi la Jezu Kristu lomwe lidaperekedwa kabodzi kokha mpaka kale-kale.

11 Kuthumizira bzimwebzi, wantsembe ali-wentse ambaima pa mbuto yace ya basa ntsiku na ntsiku, kuti acite basa lakupambulika ndipo ambapereka ntsembe zimwezi kawiri-kawiri zomwe zingakwanise lini kumalisiratu pikado. 12 Tsono munthu umweyu adapereka ntsembe kabodzi kokha mpaka kale-kale thangwe ra pikado ndipo adakhala kumbali ya madidi ya Mulungu. 13 Kuyambira pamwepo iye akudikhirira mpaka pomwe anyamadulanthaka wace an’dzaikhidwa pantsi pa nzayo zace. 14 Ndipo thangwe ra ntsembe ibodzi yomwe iye adaipereka adacitisa kuti wale omwe akucenesedwa akhale wakulungama mpaka kale-kale. 15 Kuthumizira bzimwebzi, mzimu wakucena ukuticitirambo umboni pakulewa kuti: 16 “‘Uyu ni mpangano omwe nin’dzacita na iwo pambuyo pa ntsiku zimwezo,’ walewa tenepo Yahova. ‘Nin’dzaikha malamulo yangu m’mitima mwawo ndipo nin’dzayanemba m’makumbukidwe mwawo.’” 17 Patsogolo pace adati: “Nin’dzakumbukira lini pomwe pikado zawo na bzicito bzawo bzakulatiza kusaya kubvera malamulo.” 18 Pomwe Mulungu walekerera bzinthu bzimwebzi, mpsakufunika lini pomwe ntsembe ya pikado.

19 Na tenepo abale, pakuti tatsimikiza* kupita mu njira yakutiyendesa ku mbuto yakucena mwakuphatisa basa mulopa wa Jezu, 20 omwe adatifungulira njira ipsa na ya moyo mwakuphatisa basa cinguwo, comwe ni thupi lace, 21 nakuti tina mkulu wa antsembe omwe ambanyang’anira nyumba ya Mulungu, 22 mbatifenderereni Mulungu na mtima wentse na cikhulupiro cakulimba, ticikhala na mitima yathu yakucenesedwa kucokera ku mtima wakuipa* na mathupi yathu yakusambisidwa na madzi yakucena. 23 Bwerani tipitirize kulewa padeca bza cikhulupiro cathu mwakusaya kutekenyeka, pakuti ule omwe adalewa bzimwebzi ngwakukhulupirika. 24 Ndipo bwerani timbakumbukirane* kuti timbalimbikisane pa kulatiza lufoyi na kucita mabasa yabwino, 25 ticileka kusiya kutsonkhana kwathu pabodzi ninga momwe winango omwe ana cizolowezi cimweci ambacitira. Koma bwerani timbalimbikisane ndipo tithumizire kucita bzimwebzi pomwe tikuwona kuti ntsikuyo ikufendera.

26 Pakuti tikacita pikado utowa, pomwe tatambira kale cidziwiso caico cacadidi, palibe pomwe ntsembe inango yomwe yasala kuti iperekedwere pikado zathuzo. 27 Koma tin’dikhirira na mantha kulangidwa na kudikhirirambo ukali bwakugaka ninga moto, bomwe bun’dzapfudza anyakusaya kubvera Mulungu. 28 Munthu ali-wentse omwe angadanyoza Lamulo la Mozeji, akhafunika kuphedwa mwakusaya kucitiridwa ntsisi pakakhala kuti pana umboni bwa wanthu awiri ayai atatu. 29 Kodi mukuwona tani? Penu munthu waponda Mwana wa Mulungu ndipo alibe kulemekeza mulopa wa mpangano omwe adacenesedwa naye ndipo watukwana mzimu wakucena wa kudeka mtima kukulu kwa Mulungu, kodi munthu umweyu an’themera lini cirango camphanvu? 30 Pakuti tikudziwa Ule omwe adalewa kuti: “Kubwezera n’kwangu; Ine ndine omwe nin’dzabwezera.” Ndipo iye adalewa pomwe kuti: “Yahova an’dzalanga wanthu wace.” 31 Ni cinthu cakugopswa kutambira cirango cakucokera kwa Mulungu wamoyo.

32 Na tenepo pitirizani kukumbukira ntsiku za m’mbuyo, kuti pomwe mudabvunikiridwa mudapirira bzinthu bzizinji pabodzi na mabvuto. 33 Nthawe zinango imwepo mukhatukwanidwa na kuzunzidwa padeca* ndipo nthawe zinango imwepo mukhali pabodzi na wale omwe adagumanambo na mabvuto ninga yamweya. 34 Pakuti imwepo mudacitira ntsisi wale omwe akhali m’kawoko ndipo mudabvuma mwakukondwa kutengeredwa bzinthu bzanu, thangwe mukhadziwa kuti imwepo muna cinthu cabwino kwene-kwene na cakusaya kumala.

35 Na tenepo, lekani kusiya kukhwimika kwanu,* pakuti thangwe ra bzimwebzi imwepo mun’dzabairidwa. 36 Pakuti mun’funika kupirira kuti mukacita bzomwe Mulungu ambafuna, mudzatambire bzomwe iye adalewa kuti angadadzakupasani. 37 Pakuti “kwasala kanthawe kakucepa,” ndipo “ule omwe akubwera an’fikadi ndipo an’cedwa lini.” 38 “Tsono munthu wakulungama an’dzakhala na moyo thangwe ra cikhulupiro” ndipo “penu iye an’siya Mulungu thangwe ra mantha inepano nin’dzakomedwa lini naye.” 39 Na tenepo, ifepano ndife lini wanthu omwe ambabwerera m’mbuyo kuyenda kukapfudzidwa, koma ndife wanthu omwe tina cikhulupiro kuti tipulumuse moyo wathu.
