¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi pagomo reSinai, akati,

²Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye come into the land that I will give you, the land shall celebrate a sabbath to Jehovah.

²Taura navana vaIsiraeri uti kwavari: Kana muchisvika munyika yandichakupai, nyika inofanira kuitira Jehovha sabata.

³Six years shalt thou sow thy field, and six years shalt thou prune thy vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof,

³Unofanira kudzvara munda wako makore matanhatu, nokugurira mizambiringa yako makore matanhatu, nokuunganidza michero yayo.

⁴but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest for the land, a sabbath to Jehovah. Thy field shalt thou not sow, and thy vineyard shalt thou not prune.

⁴Asi pagore rechinomwe nyika inofanira kuzorora kwazvo, rive sabata kuna Jehovha; usadzvara munda wako, kana kugurira mizambiringa yako.

⁵That which springeth up from the scattered seed of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thine undressed vines thou shalt not gather: a year of rest shall it be for the land.

⁵Magoko ako usaakohwa, namazambiringa omuzambiringa wako usina kugurirwa usaatanha; rinofanira kuva gore rokuzorora kwazvo kwenyika.

⁶And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you, for thee, and for thy bondman, and for thy handmaid, and for thy hired servant, and for him that dwelleth as a sojourner with thee, and for thy cattle,

⁶Gohwo resabata renyika ndizvo zvinofanira kuva zvokudya zvenyu; zvako nezvomuranda wako, nezvomurandakadzi wako, nezvomubatiri wako, nezvomutorwa wako ugere newe;

⁷and for the beasts that are in thy land: all the produce thereof shall be for food.

⁷nezvezvipfuwo zvako, nezvemhuka dziri munyika yako; zvibereko zvazvo zvose zvinofanira kuva zvokudya zvazvo.

⁸And thou shalt count seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; so that the days of the seven sabbaths of years be unto thee forty-nine years.

⁸Unofanira kuverengawo masabata manomwe amakore, manomwe akaverengwa kanomwe; kuti mazuva amasabata manomwe amakore aite kwauri makore makumi mana namapfumbamwe.

⁹Then shalt thou cause the loud sound of the trumpet to go forth in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; on the day of atonement shall ye cause the trumpet to go forth throughout your land.

⁹Zvino pazuva regumi romwedzi wechinomwe unofanira kuraira kuti hwamanda iridzwe kwazvo; pazuva rokuyananisira munofanira kuraira kuti hwamanda iridzwe panyika yenyu yose.

¹⁰And ye shall hallow the year of the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; a [year of] jubilee shall it be unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family;

¹⁰Munofanira kutsaura gore ramakumi mashanu, mugoparidza sununguko panyika yose kuna vose vageremo; rinofanira kuva gore rejubheri kwamuri; munofanira .kudzokera mumwe nomumwe kune zvake, munofanira kudzokera mumwe nomumwe kuhama dzake.

¹¹a year of jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap its aftergrowth, nor gather [the fruit of] its undressed vines.

¹¹Gore irero ramakumi mashanu rinofanira kuva rejubheri kwamuri; kusadzvara, uye musakohwa naro magoko, uye musatanha naro pamizambiringa isina kugurirwa.

¹²For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; out of the field shall ye eat its produce.

¹²nekuti igore rejubheri; rinofanira kuva dzvene kwamuri; munofanira kudya zvibereko zvaro paminda.

¹³In this year of the jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

¹³Negore iri rejubheri munofanira kudzokera mumwe nomumwe kune zvake.

¹⁴And if ye sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy of your neighbour's hand, ye shall not overreach one another.

¹⁴Zvino kana uchitengesera wokwako chinhu, kana kutenga chinhu kwaari, musamanikidzana.

¹⁵According to the number of years since the jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour; according to the number of years of the produce, he shall sell unto thee.

¹⁵Utenge kuno wokwako uchienzanisa namakore kubva pagore rejubheri, naiye unofanira kukutengesera achienzanisa namakore akasara okukohwa.

¹⁶According to the greater number of the years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for it is the number of crops that he selleth unto thee.

¹⁶Unofanira kuwedzera mutengo wazvo uchienzanisa nokuwanda kwamakore, uye unofanira kutapudza mutengo uchienzanisa noushoma hwamakore; nekuti iye unokutengesera nguva dzokukohwa.

¹⁷And ye shall not oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am Jehovah your God.

¹⁷Musamanikidzana, asi utye Mwari wako; nekuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

¹⁸And ye shall do my statutes, and observe mine ordinances and do them: thus shall ye dwell in your land securely.

¹⁸Naizvozvo munofanira kuita zvandakatema, nokuchengeta zvandakatonga, nokuzviita, kuti mugare munyika makachengeteka.

¹⁹And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat and be satisfied, and dwell therein securely.

¹⁹Nyika ichabereka zvibereko zvayo, imwi muchadya mukaguta, mukagaramo makachengeteka.

²⁰And if ye say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our produce;

²⁰Zvino kana mukati, Tichadyei negore rechinomwe? Tarirai, hatifaniri kudzvara, hatifaniri kuunganidza zvibereko zvedu ;

²¹then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, that it may bring forth produce for three years;

²¹ipapo ndicharaira kuti mukomborerwe neni pagore rechitanhatu, kuti rikuberekerei zvibereko zvicharingana makore matatu.

²²and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat of the old fruit until the ninth year; until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old.

²²Negore rorusere muchadzvara, muchidya zvibereko zvisharu, kusvikira gore repfumbamwe, kusvikira zvibereko zvaro zvichisvika, muchadya zvisharu.

²³And the land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

²³Nyika haifaniri kutengeswa chose nokusingaperi, nekuti nyika ndeyangu; nekuti muri vaeni navatorwa kwandiri.

²⁴And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

²⁴Panyika yenyu yose munofanira kutendera kuti nyika idzikunurwe.

²⁵If thy brother grow poor, and sell of his possession, then shall his redeemer, his nearest relation, come and redeem that which his brother sold.

²⁵Kana hama yako ikava murombo, ikatengesa zvimwe zvayo, ipapo hama yake yomumba inofanira kuuya kuzodzikunura izvo zvakatengeswa nehama yako.

²⁶And if the man have no one having right of redemption, and his hand have acquired and found what sufficeth for its redemption,

²⁶Kana munhu akashaiwa unozvidzikunura, akazova mufumi, akawana zvinoringana kuzvidzikunura;

²⁷then shall he reckon the years since the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so return unto his possession.

²⁷unofanira kuverenga makore kubva pakutengeswa kwazvo, agodzosera kuna iye waakatengana naye zvakasara, iye ndokudzokera kune zvake;

²⁸And if his hand have not found what sufficeth for him to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the purchaser, until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

²⁸asi kana asingagoni kuzvidzikunura, izvo zvaakatengesa zvinofanira kugara kuna iye wakazvitenga kusvikira pagore rejubheri; zvino pagore rejubheri zvinofanira kusunungurwa, iye agodzokera kune zvake.

²⁹And if any one sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he shall have the right of redemption up to the end of the year of the sale thereof; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.

²⁹Kana munhu akatengesa imba iri muguta rakakombwa namasvingo, ungaidzikunura gore rose raakatenga naro risati rapera; unofanira kuva nesimba rokuidzikunura gore rose.

³⁰But if it be not redeemed until a whole year is complete, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.

³⁰Kana isingadzikunurwi gore rose rikapera, zvino imba iyo iri muguta rakakombwa namasvingo inofanira kusimbiswa kuti ndeyaiye wakaitenga nokusingaperi, nokumarudzi ake; haingasunungurwi negore rejubheri.

³¹But the houses in villages that have no wall round about them shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

³¹Asi dzimba dzemisha isina kukombwa namasvingo dzinofanira kuverengwa pamwechete neminda yenyika; dzingadzikunurwa, dzichasunungurwa pagore rejubheri.

³²But as to the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption.

³²Asi pamaguta avaRevhi, idzo dzimba pamaguta avo, vaRevhi vangadzidzikunura nguva ipi neipi.

³³And if any one redeem from one of the Levites, then the house that was sold, in the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

³³Kana munhu akadzikunura kuva Revhi, imba yakatengeswa neguta rake zvinofanira kusunungurwa pagore rejubheri; nekuti dzimba mumaguta avaRevhi ndedzavo pakati pavana vaIsiraeri.

³⁴And the field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

³⁴Asi minda yokuruwa rwamaguta avo haingatengeswi, nekuti ndeyavo nokusingaperi.

³⁵And if thy brother grow poor, and he be fallen into decay beside thee, then thou shalt relieve him, [be he] stranger or sojourner, that he may live beside thee.

³⁵Kana hama yako ikava murombo, akapera simba anewe, unofanira kumubatsira, agare newe somweni kana mutorwa.

³⁶Thou shalt take no usury nor increase of him; and thou shalt fear thy God; that thy brother may live beside thee.

³⁶Usatora mhindu yemari kwaari kana yezvibereko kwaari, asi unofanira kutya Mwari wako, kuti hama yako igare newe.

³⁷Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

³⁷Usamupa mari yako uchireva mhindu, kana zvokudya zvako uchireva kuwedzerwa.

³⁸I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.

³⁸Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, wakakubudisai munyika yeEgipita, kuti ndikupei nyika yeKanani, ndive Mwari wenyu.

³⁹And if thy brother grow poor beside thee, and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

³⁹Kana hama yako ikava murombo, agere newe, akazvitengesa kwauri, usamubatisa somusungwa;

⁴⁰as a hired servant, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of jubilee shall he serve thee.

⁴⁰ngaave somubatiri unopiwa mubayiro, kana somutorwa kwauri; ngaakubatire kusvikira pagore rejubheri.

⁴¹Then shall he depart from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

⁴¹Ipapo ngaabude hake kwauri, iye pamwechete navana vake, adzokere kuhama dzake, adzokere kuna madzibaba ake.

⁴²For they are my bondmen, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as [men] sell bondmen.

⁴²nekuti ivo varanda vangu vandakabudisa munyika yeEgipita; ngavarege kutengeswa, sezvinoitwa vasungwa.

⁴³Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; and thou shalt fear thy God.

⁴³Usamubata nehasha, asi utye Mwari wako.

⁴⁴And as for thy bondman and thy handmaid whom thou shalt have -- of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and handmaids.

⁴⁴Kana vari vasungwa vako, varume kana vakadzi, vauchazova navo mungazvitengera vasungwa, varume navakadzi, kumarudzi anokupoteredzai.

⁴⁵Moreover of the children of them that dwell as sojourners with you, of them may ye buy, and of their family that is with you, which they beget in your land, and they shall be your possession.

⁴⁵Mungatengawo kuvana vavatorwa vagere pakati penyu nokuvana vavo vari pakati penyu, vavakabereka panyika yenyu; ivo vangava venyu.

⁴⁶And ye shall leave them as an inheritance to your children after you, to inherit them as a possession: these may ye make your bondmen for ever; but as for your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule over one another with rigour.

⁴⁶Muvaite nhaka yavana venyu vanokuteverai, kuti vave vavo; munofanira kutora vasungwa venyu kwavari nokuvana vaIsiraeri, mumwe ngaarege kubata mumwe nehasha.

⁴⁷And if a stranger or sojourner become wealthy beside thee, and thy brother beside him grow poor, and sell himself unto the stranger, who is settled by thee, or to a scion of the stranger's family,

⁴⁷Kana mweni kana mutorwa akafuma agere newe, asi hama yako igere naye ikava murombo, akazvitengesa kumweni kana mutorwa uyo ugere newe, kana kumwana worudzi rwomweni uyo,

⁴⁸after that he is sold there shall be right of redemption for him; one of his brethren may redeem him.

⁴⁸kana atengeswa, ungadzikunurwa; munin'ina kana mukoma wake ungamudzikunura;

⁴⁹Either his uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him, or one of his next relations of his family may redeem him; or if his means be sufficient, he may redeem himself.

⁴⁹kana babamunini vake, kana mwanakomana wababamunini vake, ungamudzikunura, kana ani naani wehama dzake dzomumba make ungamudzikunura; kana iye akazova mufumi, ungazvidzikunura amene.

⁵⁰And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of the years, according to the days of a hired servant shall he be with him.

⁵⁰Zvino iye nomutengi wake vanofanira kuverenga makore kubva pagore raakazvitengesa naro kwaari kusvikira pagore rejubheri, mutengo waakazvitengesa nawo unofanira kuenzaniswa namakore; nguva yokugara kwake naye inofanira kuenzaniswa nenguva yomubatiri unopiwa mubayiro wake.

⁵¹If there are yet many years, according unto them shall he return his redemption [money] out of the money that he was bought for;

⁵¹Kana makore mazhinji achinge asara, unofanira kudzosera mari yokudzikunurwa kwake yakaenzaniswa namakore iwayo, zvichibva pamari yaakanga atenga nayo.

⁵²and if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his [remaining] years [of service] shall he give him back his redemption [money].

⁵²Kana kuchinge kwasara makore mashoma kusvikira pagore rejubheri, unofanira kurangana naye; unofanira kudzosera mari yokudzikunurwa kwake zvichienzaniswa namakore ake.

⁵³As a hired servant shall he be with him year by year; [his master] shall not rule with rigour over him before thine eyes.

⁵³Unofanira kugara naye gore rimwe nerimwe somubatiri unopiwa mubayiro wake; ngaarege kumubata nehasha pamberi pako.

⁵⁴And if he be not redeemed in this manner, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he and his children with him.

⁵⁴Kana asingadzikunurwi nemitoo iyi, anofanira kusunungurwa negore rejubheri, iye navana vake pamwechete naye.

⁵⁵For the children of Israel are servants unto me; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.

⁵⁵nekuti vana vaIsiraeri varanda vangu; varanda vangu vandakabudisa panyika yeEgipita; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
