16 Sono Yehova wakati kwa Mozesi: “Wona, sono uli pafupi kufwa.* Ndipo ŵanthu aŵa ŵamwamba kuchita uzaghali na ŵachiuta ŵachilendo awo ŵamuŵazingilizga mu charu icho ŵakuya.+ Ŵamunileka+ na kuswa phangano lane ilo nachita nawo.+ 17 Pa nyengo iyo, ukali wane wamugolera pa iwo,+ namuŵasida+ na kubisa chisko chane kwa iwo+ m’paka ŵamare. Para masoka na visuzgo vinandi viza pa iwo,+ ŵamuti: ‘Asi masoka agha ghatiwira chifukwa chakuti Chiuta withu wafumapo pakati pithu?’+

Kweni wakalutilira kwenda nga ngwakugaluka,+ kulondezga nthowa ya mtima wake.

23 Ŵamitundu ŵazamumanya kuti nyumba ya Israyeli yikaluta ku wuzga chifukwa cha ubendezi wawo, chifukwa ŵakaŵa ŵambura kugomezgeka kwa ine.+ Ntheura nkhabisa chisko chane kwa iwo+ ndipo nkhaŵapeleka mu woko la ŵalwani ŵawo,+ ndipo wose ŵakawa na lupanga.
