¹If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.

¹Kana munhu akaba nzombe kana gwai, akazviuraya, kana akazvitengesa, anofanira kuripa nzombe shanu panzombe imwe, namakwai mana pagwai rimwe.

²If the thief be encountered breaking in, and be smitten so that he die, there shall be no blood-guiltiness for him.

²Kana mbavha ikabatwa ichipaza, ikarohwa, ikafa, wamuuraya haangavi nemhosva paropa rake.

³If the sun be risen on him, there shall be blood-guiltiness for him; he should have made full restitution: if he had nothing, he would have been sold for his theft.

³Asi kana zuva rakanga ramubudira, achava nemhosva paropa rake, anofanira kuripa; kana asina chinhu anofanira kutengeswa nokuda kokuba kwake.

⁴If the stolen thing be actually found alive in his hand, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double.

⁴Kana chaakanga aba chikawanikwa muruoko rwake chichiri chipenyu, kana iri nzombe, kana dhongi, kana gwai, anofanira kuripa kaviri.

⁵If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and put in his cattle, and pasture in another man's field, of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard shall he make [it] good.

⁵Kana munhu akadyisa munda, kana munda wemizambiringa, akasundira chipfuwo chake, chikandodya munda womumwe, anofanira kuripa sezvakaisvonaka zvomunda wake, nezvakaisvonaka zvomunda wake wemizambiringa.

⁶-- If fire break out, and seize the thorns, and the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed, he that kindled the fire shall fully make it good.

⁶Kana moto ukadarika, ukabata mhinzwa, ukapisa murwi wezviyo, kana zviyo zvichiri mumunda, kana munda umene, iye akatungidza moto anofanira kuripa.

⁷-- If a man deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him restore double;

⁷Kana munhu achinge apa wokwake mari kana nhumbi kuti azvichengete, zvikabiwa mumba momunhu uyo, mbavha, kana ikawanikwa, inofanira kuripa kaviri.

⁸if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall be brought before the judges, [to see] if he has not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.

⁸Kana mbavha ikasawanikwa, muridzi weimba anofanira kuswedera kuna Mwari, kuti zvionekwe kana iye asina kuisa ruoko rwake panhumbi dzowokwake,

⁹As to all manner of fraud, -- as to ox, as to ass, as to sheep, as to clothing, as to everything lost, of which [a man] saith, It is this -- the cause of both parties shall come before the judges: he whom the judges shall condemn shall restore double to his neighbour.

⁹pamhaka dzose dzokudarika, kana iri yenzombe, kana yedhongi, kana yegwai, kana yechokufuka, kana yechinhu chipi nechipi chakarasika, kana zvikanzi, Ndicho! mhaka yavose vaviri inofanira kuuya pamberi paMwari; uyo anopiwa mhosva naMwari anofanira kuripira wokwake kaviri.

¹⁰If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any cattle, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, and no man see [it],

¹⁰Kana munhu akapa wokwake dhongi, kana nzombe, kana gwai, kana chimwe chipfuwo, kuti achichengete, chikafa, kana kukuvara, kana kutinhwa asina kuzviona;

¹¹an oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make [it] good.

¹¹ivo vaviri ngavapikirane pamberi paJehovha, kuti zvionekwe kana akaisa ruoko rwake panhumbi dzowokwake; muridzi wazvo ngaatende nazvo, iye arege kuripa.

¹²But if it have been stolen from him, he shall make [it] good unto its owner.

¹²Asi kana zvikabiwa zviri kwaari, anofanira kuripira muridzi wazvo.

¹³If it have been torn in pieces, let him bring it [as] witness: he shall not make good what was torn.

¹³Kana zvikabvamburwa nechikara, ngaauye nazvo chive chapupu; haafaniri kuripa zvabvamburwa.

¹⁴-- And if a man borrow anything of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, its owner not being with it, he shall fully make it good;

¹⁴Kana munhu achinge akumbira chinhu kunowokwake, chakuvara, kana kufa, muridzi wacho asisipo, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuchiripa.

¹⁵if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make [it] good; if it be a hired [thing], it came for its hire.

¹⁵Kana muridzi wacho aripo, haafaniri kuripa; kana chiri chinhu chairipirwa, muripo wacho wauya panzvimbo yacho.

¹⁶And if a man seduce a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall certainly endow her, to be his wife.

¹⁶Kana munhu achinge anyengedzera musikana asina kunyengwa, akavata naye, zvirokwazvo anofanira kumuroora, ave mukadzi wake.

¹⁷If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall weigh money according to the dowry of virgins.

¹⁷Kana baba vake vakaramba chose kumupa iye, anofanira kuripa mari yakaenzana neroora yavasikana.

¹⁸-- Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

¹⁸Usarega muroyi ari mupenyu.

¹⁹-- Every one that lieth with a beast shall certainly be put to death.

¹⁹Ani naani anovata nechipfuwo, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa.

²⁰-- He that sacrificeth to [any] god, save to Jehovah only, shall be devoted to destruction.

²⁰Anobayira mumwe mwari, asi Jehovha chete, anofanira kuparadzwa chose.

²¹Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

²¹Usaitira mutorwa zvakaipa, kana kumumanikidza, nekuti nemiwo maiva vatorwa munyika yeEgipita.

²²Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

²²Usatambudza chirikadzi kana nherera.

²³If thou afflict him in any way, if he cry at all unto me, I will certainly hear his cry;

²³Kana ukatongovatambudza, vakadana kwandiri, ndichateerera kudana kwavo;

²⁴and my anger shall burn, and I will slay you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

²⁴kutsamwa kwangu kuchamuka, ndikakuurayai nomunondo; vakadzi venyu vachava chirikadzi, navana venyu nherera.

²⁵-- If thou lend money to my people, the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer: ye shall charge him no interest.

²⁵Kana ukapa mumwe wavanhu vangu vaunavo chikwereti chemari, ari murombo, usaita kwaari somupi wechikwereti; usareva mhindu kwaari.

²⁶-- If thou at all take thy neighbour's garment in pledge, thou shalt return it to him before the sun goes down;

²⁶Kana ukatongotora nguvo yowokwako ruve rubatso, unofanira kuidzosera kwaari zuva rovira;

²⁷for that is his only covering, his garment for his skin: on what shall he lie down? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

²⁷nekuti ndicho chokufuka chake choga, inguvo yake yaanofukidza nayo ganda rake; achavata neiko? Kana iye akadana kwandiri, ndichamunzwa, nekuti ndine tsitsi.

²⁸Thou shalt not revile the judges, nor curse a prince amongst thy people.

²⁸Usatuka Mwari, kana kushuridzira mubati pakati pavanhu vako.

²⁹-- Thou shalt not delay the fulness of thy [threshing-floor] and the outflow of thy [winepress]. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

²⁹Usanonoka kupa Mwari zvimwe kune zvizhinji zvezviyo zvako nezvinomwiwa. Undipe dangwe ravana vako vavakomana.

³⁰Likewise shalt thou do with thy calf, with thy sheep: seven days shall it be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

³⁰Uitewo saizvozvo nenzombe dzako namakwai ako; rigare mazuva manomwe namai varo, ugondipa iro nezuva rorusere.

³¹-- And ye shall be holy men unto me; and ye shall not eat flesh torn in the field: ye shall cast it to the dog.

³¹imwi munofanira kuva vanhu vatsvene kwandiri; naizvozvo hamufaniri kudya nyama yakabvamburwa nezvikara kusango, muikandire imbwa.
