Musapereke nsembe kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu ngʼombe kapena nkhosa imene ili ndi chilema kapena cholakwika chilichonse, pakuti zimenezi zimamunyansa. 
Ngati mwamuna kapena mkazi pakati panu, mʼmizinda imene Yehova akukupatsani apezeka akuchita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu pophwanya pangano lake, 
ndipo ngati motsutsana ndi lamulo langa wapembedza milungu ina, kuyigwadira milunguyo, kaya ndi dzuwa kapena mwezi kapena nyenyezi zakumwamba, 
ndipo inu nʼkuwuzidwa zimenezi, mufufuze bwinobwino. Ngati ndi zoona, ndipo ngati zatsimikizika kuti chonyansa choterechi chachitikadi mu Israeli, 
mumutengere mwamuna kapena mkazi amene wachita chonyansa choterechi ku chipata cha mzinda wanu ndi kumupha pomugenda miyala. 
Munthu aziphedwa pakakhala mboni ziwiri kapena zitatu koma osati mboni imodzi yokha ayi. 
Wochitira umboniwo ndiwo aziyamba kumupha munthuyo, ndipo kenaka anthu onse. Muyenera kuchotsa choyipa pakati panu. 
Ngati akubweretserani milandu mʼmabwalo anu imene ili yovuta kuweruza kaya ndi yokhetsa magazi, kaya ndi yophwanyirana ufulu, kaya ndi yovulazana, muyitengere kumalo kumene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe. 
Mudzapite kwa ansembe Alevi ndi kwa woweruza wa pa nthawi imeneyo. Kawafunseni ndipo iwowo adzakuwuzani zoyenera kuchita. 
Kachiteni zimene adzakuwuzenizo kuchokera ku malo amene Yehova adzasankhe. Kaonetsetseni kuti mukutsatira zonse zimene akuwuzanizo. 
Kachiteni motsatira malamulo ndi malangizo amene adzakuwuzeni; osawanyoza, potembenukira kumanja kapena kumanzere. 
Munthu aliyense amene adzanyoza woweruza kapena wansembe amene akutumikira kumeneko mʼmalo mwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, aphedwe ndithu. Muzichotsa choyipa pakati pa Israeli. 
Anthu onse adzamva zimenezi ndipo adzachita mantha, choncho sadzadzikuzanso. 
Mukalowa mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani kuti mulitenge, ndipo mukakakhazikika mʼmenemo nimunena kuti, “Tiyeni tisankhe mfumu yoti izitilamulira monga imachitira mitundu yonse yotizungulirayi,” 
mudzakhazikitse mfumu yoti izikakulamulirani, mfumu imene Yehova Mulungu wanu adzasankhe pakati panu. Mudzasankhe mfumuyo kuchokera pakati pa abale anu. Osasankha mlendo, munthu amene sachokera pakati pa abale anu Aisraeli. 
Komatu mfumuyo isadzikundikire akavalo, kapena kutuma anthu kupita ku Igupto kukayipezera akavalo ena, pakuti Ambuye akuti, “Simuyenera kubweranso ku Igupto mʼnjira yomweyo.” 
Asadziwunjikire akazi kuopa kuti mtima wake ungamusocheretse. Asadziwunjikirenso golide ndi siliva wambiri. 
Akakhala pa mpando waufumuwo, ayenera kulemba za iye mwini mʼbuku la malamuloli, kuchokera kwa ansembe Alevi. 
Asunge zimene walembazo ndipo ayenera kumaziwerenga masiku onse a moyo wake, kuti aphunzire kuopa Yehova Mulungu wake posunga mosamalitsa malamulo ndi malangizowa. 
Asadzione kuti iyeyo ndi wopambana kuposa abale ake, nalekeratu kutsatira malamulo. Akasamala zimenezi iye ndi ana ake adzalamulira ufumu wa Israeli kwa nthawi yayitali.
