1 Mose ndi akuluakulu a Israeli analamula anthu kuti, “Sungani malamulo onse amene ndikukupatsani lero lino.
Then Moses and the elders of Israel instructed the people, saying: “Keep each commandment that I instruct to you this day.
2 Mukawoloka mtsinje wa Yorodani kulowa mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani, muyimiritse miyala ingapo ikuluikulu ndi kuyikulungiza.
And when you have crossed over the Jordan, into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, you shall erect immense stones, and you shall coat them with plaster,
3 Mulembepo mawu onse a malamulo amenewa pamene muwoloka kulowa mʼdziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akukupatsani, dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi, monga momwe Yehova Mulungu wa makolo anu anakulonjezerani.
so that you may be able to write upon them all the words of this law, when you have crossed the Jordan so as to enter into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as he swore to your fathers.
4 Ndipo mukawoloka Yorodani muyimike miyala iyi pa Phiri la Ebala monga momwe ndikukulamulirani lero lino ndipo muyikulungize.
Therefore, when you have crossed over the Jordan, erect the stones, just as I instruct you to do this day, on Mount Ebal. And you shall coat them with plaster,
5 Pamenepo mumange guwa lansembe la miyala la Yehova Mulungu wanu. Musagwiritse ntchito chida chilichonse chachitsulo pa miyalapo.
and you shall build, in that place, an altar to the Lord your God out of stones which have not been touched by iron,
6 Mumange guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi miyala yakutchire ndi kuperekerapo nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu.
out of stones which have not been hewn or polished. And you shall offer holocausts on it to the Lord your God.
7 Muperekerepo nsembe zopereka za chiyanjano, muzidye ndi kukondwera pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu.
And you shall immolate peace victims. And you shall eat and feast in that place, in the sight of the Lord your God.
8 Ndipo pa miyalapo mudzalembepo mawu onse a malamulo ndi malemba akuluakulu.”
And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law, plainly and clearly.”
9 Kenaka Mose ndi ansembe, amene ndi Alevi anati kwa Aisraeli onse, “Khalani chete Aisraeli inu ndipo mumvetsere! Tsopano inu ndinu anthu a Yehova Mulungu wanu.
And Moses and the priests of Levitical stock said to all of Israel: “Attend and listen, O Israel! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.
10 Muzimvera Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kutsata malamulo ake ndi malangizo ake omwe ndikukupatsani lero lino.”
You shall listen to his voice, and you shall do the commandments and justices, which I am entrusting to you.”

“These shall stand upon Mount Gerizim, as a blessing to the people, when you will have crossed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
