¹ Hulikisye ighambo lya Bhwaana, umwe bhantu bha Israel. Bhwaana ali ne mashtaka sumbaja bhenyesi bha nchi, kwa babhabhu kutuhu bhene au uaminifu bhwa agano, kutuhu bhu juzi bhwa Kabhumba katika nchi. ² Kuline laana, malami, mauaji, bhwifi ne bhazinzi. Bhantu bha funagha mipaka syose, ne malao ghakujisa baada jya malaso. ³ Kwa hijyo inchi jikughuma nekila muntu ghakanya kuishi mukati jaje akaangamia; manywela katika mabhala ne ndeghe angani, ninga msotikatika bhahari, bha ku bhusibwa. ⁴ Lakini usiruhusu muntu ghoghonse kuleta mashaka; msiruhusu muntu ghoghose ahukumu muntu mundi, ku maana umwe ndio makuhani, bho nkubha shitaki. ⁵ Umwe makuhani muloji kwaa bhwakati bhwa isyubha; ne manabii pia bhalo ji kwaa hamari nomwe bhufuku, none ndo mu angamiza majo ghobhe. ⁶ Bhantu bhane bhakubhi hilwa kwa sabhabhu jya ukosefu bhwa maarifa. Kwa sabhabhu makuhani bhatuni maarifa, none ndo bhanuna mibhe ma kuhani kumwane. Kwa sabhabhu ghwa la bhalila sheria syane, inganwa une nli Kabhumba ghobhe, none pia ndolabhilila bhatwana bhobhe. ⁷ Makuhani bhengi bhaka ongezeka, ngasumba bhaka jilanga mabhi sumba. Bhakahindulanga heshima syabho kunsonyi. ⁸ Bhakulilisha mabhigha bhantu bhane; bhabho ni bhakanya tamaa sumba jya uovu bhabho. ⁹ Jilobha sawa kubhantu kobhe kwa makuhani: ndobhaadhibhu bhose ku matendo ghabho; Ndobhaliha kumate ndo ghabho. ¹⁰ Bhalo lya laki tebhalojikutehi; bhalojila uzinzi lakini tebhalobhumbike, kwa sabhabhu khaja kumbali ne Bhwaana. ¹¹ Bhakuteha uasherati, divai, ne divai hya, ambajo jatwala bhuelewa bhwabho. ¹² Bhantu bhane huhensa shauri ku sanamu syabho sya mbao, ne mfimbo syabho sya kulyatila hubhana unabii. Kumaana mawazo gha uasherati ghabhalemba, nebhajila kobhe makahaba badala ya kubha bhaminifu ku Kabhumba ghwabho. ¹³ Bhaku funya sadaka halighulu lune misosi ne kute kesya uvumba kuli halughulu, hansija mialoni, milibua ne miela kwa sabhabhu silelo ni msogha. Ghasi bhinti nyenyu hujila hasherati, ne bhinti syenyu bhanazini. ¹⁴ Line te ndomba adhibu bhinti syobhe bhwakati bhaku saghula kujila hasherati wala bhinti syobhe wakati bhakuzini. Kumaanabhagosi pia bhakulifanya kwa makahaba, ne kufunya dhabihu ili bhakobhile kujila fitendo fya ka sherati ne ne makahaba. Tetyo bhantu bhasikanya kumanya bhalo angamizwa. ¹⁵ Ingawa ughwe, Israeli, ghwajila uzinzi, lakini Yuda asibhe ne hatia. Umwe musikaje Gilgali; musikaje hadi Beth Aven. Wala musibho, "Akuishi Bhwaana." ¹⁶ Kumaana Israeli ghajila ukaidi, kobhe ndama mkaidi. Je! Bhwaana akukobhola kubhaleta kuli malisyo kobhe mtama mahali hakana nafasi? ¹⁷ Efraimu ghaka liunga ne sanamu muleke; nengwa. ¹⁸ Ninga bhwakati silya sya kumwabho syabhuka bhakajanga kujila bhuzinzi; bhatawala bhaje huteha nhana nsonyi jabho. ¹⁹ Musagha ghalumutimbila kumapapa ghaje; nabho bhalolola nsoni kwa sabhabhu ja zabhihu syabho.
