Malamulo oteteza anthu pamene ali pachiopsezo kwambiri: mwamuna wongokwatira kumene samapita ku nkhondo chaka chimodzi, mwala wopera sutengedwa ngati chikole, chofunda cha munthu wosauka chimabwezedwa dzuwa lisanalowe, malipiro amaperekedwa tsiku lomwelo. Mitolo yoiwalika ndi maolivi ndi mphesa zotsala ndi za mlendo, mwana wamasiye ndi mkazi wamasiye.
24 1Mwamuna akakwatira mkazi, ngati mkaziyo sakumkondweretsanso chifukwa wapeza chinthu chonyansa mwa iye, amlembera kalata yachisudzulo, nayiika m'manja mwake, namtulutsa m'nyumba mwake, a a v1 Mose analola chisudzulo chifukwa cha kuuma mtima kwa anthu; koma Yesu anasonyeza ku dongosolo loyambirira la Atate wathu la kuphatikana kwa moyo wonse (Mateyu 19:8). 2ndipo ngati mkaziyo achoka m'nyumba mwake, napita nakakhala mkazi wa mwamuna wina, 3ndipo mwamuna wake wachiwiri namuda, namlembera kalata yachisudzulo, nayiika m'manja mwake, namtulutsa m'nyumba mwake—kapena ngati mwamuna wachiwiriyo amene anamtenga kukhala mkazi wake amwalira, 4pamenepo mwamuna wake woyamba, amene anamtulutsa, sangathe kumkwatiranso mkaziyo atadetsedwa; chimenecho nchonyansa pamaso pa Atate wathu, ndipo musabweretse mlandu pa dziko limene Atate wanu akukupatsani kukhala cholowa.
5Mwamuna akatenga mkazi watsopano, asapite ku nkhondo kapena kupatsidwa ntchito ina iliyonse; akhale mfulu kunyumba kwake chaka chimodzi, kuti akondweretse mkazi amene anamtenga.
6Wina asatenge mphero ziwiri, kapena ngakhale yapamwamba yokha, kukhala chikole cha ngongole—pakuti akhala akukola moyo weniweni wa munthu.
7Ngati munthu apezeka akuba Mwisraeli mnzake, namsandutsa kapolo kapena kumgulitsa, wakubayo afe. Choncho muchotse choipa pakati panu.
8Za nthenda yakhungu yodetsa, samalani kwambiri kuchita monga momwe ansembe a Chilevi akukuphunzitsani, monga ndinawalamulira. 9Kumbukirani zimene Atate wanu anachitira Miriamu pa njira pamene munkatuluka mu Igupto.
10Mukabwereketsa mnansi wanu kanthu kalikonse, musalowe m'nyumba mwake kukatenga chikole chake. 11Muyenera kuyima panja, ndipo wobwerekayo abweretse chikole kunja kwa inu. 12Ndipo ngati iye ndi munthu wosauka, musagone ndi chikole chake usiku. 13Mubwezere chikole chake dzuwa lisanalowe, kuti agone mu mkanjo wake nakudalitsani; ndipo Atate wanu adzakuwerengerani chimenecho kukhala chilungamo.
14Musapondereze wantchito waganyu wosauka ndi wosowa, kaya ndi m'bale wanu kapena mlendo wokhala m'dziko lanu, m'mizinda yanu. 15Mumulipire malipiro ake tsiku lomwelo, dzuwa lisanalowe—pakuti ndi wosauka ndipo malipirowo ndiye chiyembekezo chake. Mukapanda kutero, angalirire kwa Atate wathu zokutsutsani inu, ndipo kudzakhala uchimo kwa inu.
16Makolo asaphedwe chifukwa cha ana awo, ngakhale ana asaphedwe chifukwa cha makolo awo; aliyense aphedwe chifukwa cha uchimo wake womwe.
17Musapotoze chiweruzo cha mlendo kapena wamasiye, ngakhale kutenga mkanjo wa mkazi wamasiye kukhala chikole. 18Kumbukirani kuti munali akapolo mu Igupto; Atate wanu anakuwombolani kuchokera kumeneko—nchifukwa chake ndikukulamulirani kuchita zimenezi.
19Mukakolola m'munda mwanu ndikuiwala mtolo, musabwerere kukautenga. Musiyire mlendo, wamasiye, ndi mkazi wamasiye, kuti Atate wanu akudalitseni pa ntchito yonse ya manja anu. 20Mukamenya mtengo wanu wa maolivi, musabwererenso ku nthambi zake; zotsala musiyire mlendo, wamasiye, ndi mkazi wamasiye.
21Mukathyola mphesa za munda wanu wampesa, musakunkhenthe zotsala; musiyire mlendo, wamasiye, ndi mkazi wamasiye. 22Kumbukirani kuti munali akapolo m'dziko la Igupto; nchifukwa chake ndikukulamulirani kuchita zimenezi.
