Zvino Mosesi akapindura akati, “Asi tarirai, havanganditendi, kana kuteerera izwi rangu, nokuti vachati, ‘Jehovha haana kuzviratidza kwauri.’ ”
Jehovha akati kwaari, “Chiiko icho chiri muruoko rwako?” Akati, “Itsvimbo.”
Akati, “Ikandire pasi.” Akaikandira pasi, ikashanduka kuvanyoka, Mosesi akaitiza. Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mosesi, “Tambanudza ruoko rwako, uibate parumhinda; (iye akatambanudza ruoko rwake, akaibata, ikashanduka kuvatsvimbo muruoko rwake); kuti vatende kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba avo, Mwari waAbhurahamu, naMwari waIsaka, naMwari waJakobho, akazviratidza kwauri.”
Jehovha akatiwo kwaari, “Isa ruoko rwako muchipfuva chako.” Akaisa ruoko rwake muchipfuva chake; zvino akati achirubvisa, onei ruoko rwake rwava namaperembudzi rwati mbembe sechando. Akati, “Isa ruoko rwako muchipfuva chakozve. (Iye akaisa ruoko rwake muchipfuva chakezve; zvino akati achirubvisa muchipfuva chake, onei rwashandukazve senyama yake.) Zvino kana vachiramba kukutenda, kana kuteerera izwi rechiratidzo chokutanga, vachatenda izwi rechiratidzo chechipiri. Zvino kana vachiramba kutenda zviratidzo izvo zviviri, kana kutenda izwi rako, uchere mvura yomurwizi, uidururire pakaoma, ipapo mvura yawachera ichashanduka ropa ipapo pakaoma.”
Zvino Mosesi akati kuna Jehovha, “Haiwa, Jehovha, handizi munhu anogona kutaura zvakanaka, kunyange zuro, kana zuro riya, kana kubva panguva yamakataura nomuranda wenyu; nokuti ndiri munhu anomuromo usingagoni norurimi rusingagoni.”
Jehovha akati kwaari, “Ndianiko akaita muromo womunhu, ndianiko anoita mbeveve kana matsi, kana anoona, kana bofu? Ko handizi Jehovha here? Naizvozvo zvino chienda, ini ndichava muromo wako, ndikudzidzise zvaunofanira kutaura.”
Iye akati, “Haiwa, Ishe, tumai henyu wamunoda kutuma naye.”
Zvino kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakamukira Mosesi, akati, “Ko Aroni, mukoma wako, muRevhi, haapo here? Ndinoziva kuti iye anogona kutaura kwazvo. Zvino tarira, wotobuda kusangana newe; kana achikuona achafara mumwoyo make. Utaure naye, ugoisa mashoko mumuromo make; ini ndichava nomuromo wako, uye nomuromo wake, ndikudzidzisei zvamunofanira kuita.
“Iye achataura navanhu panzvimbo yako, agova muromo wako, iwe uchava saMwari kwaari. Zvino tora tsvimbo iyi muruoko rwako, ugoita zviratidzo nayo.”
