¹Thou shalt not accept a false report; extend not thy hand to the wicked, to be an unrighteous witness.

¹Usapupurira mumwe nhema; usabatsirana nowakaipa pakuita chapupu chisakarurama.

²Thou shalt not follow the multitude for evil; neither shalt thou answer in a cause, to go after the multitude to pervert [judgment].

²Usatevera vazhinji pakuita zvakaipa; usapupura pamhosva pamwechete navazhinji kuti irege kururamiswa;

³Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.

³usatsaura murombo uchimuitira tsitsi pamhaka yake.

⁴-- If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt certainly bring it back to him.

⁴Kana ukasangana nenzombe kana dhongi rakarasika remuvengi wako, zvirokwazvo unofanira kuidzosera kwaari.

⁵If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, beware of leaving [it] to him: thou shalt certainly loosen [it] with him.

⁵Kana ukaona dhongi remuvengi wako rawira pasi nemutoro waro, usaramba kumubatsira, zvirokwazvo umubatsire kuisunungura.

⁶Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

⁶Usatsautsa zvakarurama zvomurombo pamhaka yake.

⁷Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.

⁷Unzvenge shoko renhema; usauraya munhu asina mhosva uye akarurama, nekuti handingaruramisiri akaipa.

⁸And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blindeth those whose eyes are open, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

⁸Usagamuchira fufuro, nekuti fufuro inopofumadza vanoona, nokukanganisa mashoko avakarurama.

⁹And the stranger thou shalt not oppress; for ye know the spirit of the stranger, for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

⁹Usatambudza mutorwa, nekuti munoziva moyo womutorwa, zvamakanga muri vatorwa munyika yeEgipita.

¹⁰And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in its produce;

¹⁰Dzvara munda wako makore matanhatu, uchikohwa zvibereko zvawo.

¹¹but in the seventh thou shalt let it rest and lie [fallow], that the poor of thy people may eat [of it]; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thine olive-tree.

¹¹Asi negore rechinomwe unofanira kuuzorodza nokurega kuurima, kuti varombo vavanhu vako vadye, nemhuka dzesango dzidye zvavasiya. Saizvozvo uitewo nomunda wako wemizambiringa nomunda wako wemiorivhi.

¹²-- Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger may be refreshed.

¹²Ubate mabasa ako namazuva matanhatu, ugozorora nezuva rechinomwe; kuti nzombe yako nedhongi raako zvizorore, nomwanakomana womurandakadzi wako nomutorwa vambofema havo.

¹³And ye shall be on your guard as to everything that I have said unto you; and shall make no mention of the name of other gods -- it shall not be heard in thy mouth.

¹³Zvinhu zvose zvandakakuudzai muzviteerere; musareva zita ravamwe vamwari, ngarirege kunzwika pamiromo yenyu.

¹⁴Thrice in the year thou shalt celebrate a feast to me.

¹⁴Undiitire mutambo katatu pagore.

¹⁵Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread, (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I have commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear in my presence empty;)

¹⁵Uite mutambo wezvingwa zvisina kuviriswa; udye zvingwa zvisina kuviriswa mazuva manomwe, sezvandakakuraira, panguva yakatarwa pamwedzi weAbhibhi (nokuti wakabuda nawo Egipita); kurege kuva nomunhu anouya pamberi pangu asina chinhu;

¹⁶and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours which thou hast sown in the field, and the feast of in-gathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.

¹⁶uye mutambo wokukohwa, wezvitsva zvamabasa ako, zvawakadzvara mumunda mako; uye mutambo wokuunganidza pakupera kwegore, kana wounganidza zvamabasa ako pamunda.

¹⁷Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the presence of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁷Varume venyu vose ngavauye pamberi paShe Mwari katatu pagore.

¹⁸Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

¹⁸Usandivigira ropa rechibayiro changu pamwechete nechingwa chakaviriswa; namafuta omutambo wangu arege kuvata usiku hwose kusvikira mangwana.

¹⁹The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

¹⁹Zvokutanga zvezvitsva zvomunda wako unofanira kuuya nazvo kumba kwaJehovha Mwari wako. Usabika mbudzana mumukaka wamai vayo.

²⁰Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place that I have prepared.

²⁰Tarira, ndinotuma mutumwa pamberi pako, akuchengete panzira, akuise panzvimbo yandakakugadzirira.

²¹Be careful in his presence, and hearken unto his voice: do not provoke him, for he will not forgive your transgressions; for my name is in him.

²¹Munzwei, muteerere inzwi rake, musamutsamwisa, nekuti haangakukangamwiriyi kudarika kwenyu, nekuti zita rangu riri maari.

²²But if thou shalt diligently hearken unto his voice, and do all that I shall say, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.

²²Asi kana ukateerera inzwi rake nomoyo wako wose, ukaita izvozvo zvose zvandinotaura, ndichava muvengi wavavengi vako, nomudzivisi wavadzivisi vako.

²³For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.

²³Nekuti mutumwa wangu achakutungamirira, akusvitse kuvaAmori, navaHeti, navaPerezi, navaKanani, navaHivhi, navaJebhusi; ini ndichavaparadza.

²⁴Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their deeds; but thou shalt utterly destroy them, and utterly shatter their statues.

²⁴Usapfugamira vamwari vavo, kana kuvashumira, kana kutevera mabasa avo; asi unofanira kuvaparadza chose, nokuputsanya shongwe dzavo.

²⁵And ye shall serve Jehovah your God; and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness away from thy midst.

²⁵Shumira Jehovha Mwari wako, kuti aropafadze chingwa chako nemvura yako; neni ndichabvisa urwere pakati penyu.

²⁶There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days will I fulfil.

²⁶Hakungavi nechinhu chinosvodza, kana chisingabereki panyika yako; ndichazadzisa mazuva ako.

²⁷I will send my fear before thee, and confound every people to which thou comest, and will make all thine enemies turn their back to thee.

²⁷Ndichatuma chityiso changu pamberi pako, nokukanganisa ndudzi dzose dzauchasvika kwadziri, ndichafuratidza vavengi vako vose.

²⁸And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

²⁸Ndichatuma mago pamberi pako, adzinge vaHivhi, navaKanani, navaHeti pamberi pako.

²⁹I will not drive them out from before thee in one year: lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

²⁹Handingavadzingi pamberi pako negore rimwe, kuti nyika irege kuita renje, zvikara zvesango zvirege kukuwandira.

³⁰By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou art fruitful, and possess the land.

³⁰Ndichanyatsovadzinga pamberi pako, kusvikira mava vazhinji, upiwe nyika ive nhaka yako.

³¹And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the river; for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, that thou mayest dispossess them from before thee.

³¹Ndichaisa miganhu yako kubva paGungwa Dzvuku kusvikira kuGungwa ravaFirisitia, nokubva kurenje kusvikira kuRwizi, nekuti ndichapa vagere munyika mumaoko enyu, uvadzinge pamberi pako.

³²Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

³²Rega kuita sungano navo, kana navamwari vavo.

³³They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it is sure to be a snare unto thee.

³³Havafaniri kugara munyika yako, kuti varege kukutadzisa pamberi pangu, nekuti kana ukashumira vamwari vavo, zvirokwazvo izvo zvichava musungo kwauri.
