| 3. | Imidugudu bayibemo ubwabo, inzuri zibemo ubutunzi bwabo, zibe izo kuragirwamo amashyo yabo n’amatungo yabo yose. |

| 10. | “Bwira Abisirayeli uti ‘Nimwambuka Yorodani mukajya mu gihugu cy’i Kanāni, |
| 11. | muzitoranirize imidugudu y’ubuhungiro, kugira ngo gatozi wishe umuntu atabyitumye, ayihungiremo. |
| 12. | Iyo midugudu ibabere ubuhungiro bwo guhunga umuhōzi, kugira ngo gatozi adapfa adahagaze imbere y’iteraniro, gucirwa urubanza. |
| 13. | Mu midugudu muzatanga, itandatu izababere iy’ubuhungiro. |
| 14. | Muzatange imidugudu itatu hakuno ya Yorodani, iyindi itatu muzayitange mu gihugu cy’i Kanāni, ibe imidugudu y’ubuhungiro. |
| 15. | Iyo midugudu uko ari itandatu ibere Abisirayeli n’umunyamahanga n’umusuhuke bo muri bo iy’ubuhungiro, kugira ngo gatozi wese wishe undi atabyitumye, ayihungiremo. |
| 16. | “ ‘Ariko niba yaramukubise ikintu cy’icyuma agapfa, yaba ari umwicanyi, kandi umwicanyi ntakabure kwicwa. |
| 17. | Cyangwa niba yaramuhonze ibuye afite mu ntoki, ryabasha kwica umuntu agapfa, yaba ari umwicanyi, kandi umwicanyi ntakabure kwicwa. |
| 18. | Cyangwa niba yaramukubise ikintu cyabajwe mu giti, afite mu ntoki cyabasha kwica umuntu agapfa, yaba ari umwicanyi, kandi umwicanyi ntakabure kwicwa. |
| 19. | Uhōrera amaraso y’uwapfuye abe ari we umuhōra ubwe, namubona amuhōre. |
| 20. | “‘Cyangwa niba yaramusunikishijwe n’urwango, cyangwa niba yaragize icyo amutera amuciriye igico, agapfa, |
| 21. | cyangwa niba yaramukubitishijwe igipfunsi n’urwango agapfa, uwamukubise ntakabure kwicwa, yaba ari umwicanyi. Uhōrera amaraso y’uwapfuye ahōre uwo mwicanyi, namubona. |
| 22. | “‘Ariko niba yaramusunitse atamwanze akamugwa mu maboko, cyangwa niba yaragize icyo amuteye atamuciriye igico, |
| 23. | cyangwa niba yaramutembagarijeho ibuye ryabasha kwica umuntu, agapfa atamubonye, adasanzwe ari umwanzi we, atashakaga kugira icyo amutwara, |
| 24. | iteraniro rice urubanza rw’uwamwishe n’uhōrera amaraso y’uwapfuye, ruhwanye n’ayo mategeko. |
| 25. | Rikize gatozi uhōrera amaraso y’uwapfuye, rimusubize mu mudugudu w’ubuhungiro bwe yari yahungiyemo, awugumemo ageze aho umutambyi mukuru wasīzwe amavuta yera azapfira. |
| 26. | Ariko gatozi uwo nagira ubwo arenga urugabano rw’umudugudu w’ubuhungiro bwe yahungiyemo, |
| 27. | uhōrera amaraso y’uwapfuye agasanga ari inyuma y’urugabano rw’umudugudu w’ubuhungiro bwe akamuhōra, ntazagibwaho n’urubanza rw’inyama y’uwo, |
| 28. | kuko uwo yari akwiriye kuguma mu mudugudu w’ubuhungiro bwe, akageza aho umutambyi mukuru azapfira. Maze umutambyi namara gupfa, gatozi uwo azasubire mu isambu ya gakondo ye. |
| 29. | Ibyo bibabere itegeko ritegeka uko muca imanza, mu bihe byanyu byose no mu buturo bwanyu bwose. |
| 30. | “‘Uzica umuntu wese, gatozi uwo azicishwe n’abagabo bamushinje, ariko umugabo umwe ntagashinje umuntu ngo amwicishe. |
| 31. | “‘Ntimukemere ikarabo ry’uwishe umuntu akaba akwiye guhōrwa, ahubwo ntakabure guhōrwa. |
| 32. | Kandi ntimukemere ikarabo ry’uwahungiye mu mudugudu w’ubuhungiro bwe ngo asubire gutura mu gihugu, umutambyi atarapfa. |
| 33. | “‘Nuko ntimuzanduze igihugu muzabamo, kuko amaraso yanduza igihugu, ntihabe impongano yagihongererwa ku bw’amaraso yakiviriyemo, itari ay’uwayavushije. |
| 34. | Ntimuzanduze igihugu muzaturamo nkaba hagati muri cyo, kuko ndi Uwiteka uba hagati mu Bisirayeli.’” |
