¹Nenguva iyo Jehovha akati

¹At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.

²Ini ndichanyora pamahwandefa mashoko aya akanga ari pamabwendefa okutanga, awakaputsa, ugoaisa muareka.

²And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

³Naizvozvo ndikaita areka yamatanda omuakasia, ndikaveza mabwendefa maviri amabwe, akanga akaita sookutanga, ndikakwira mugomo ndakabata mabwendefa maviri muruoko rwangu.

³And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.

⁴Akanyora pamabwendefa zvakafanana norunyoro rwokutanga, aya mashoko ane gumi, amakaudzwa naJehovha pagomo, ari pakati pomoto, nezuva reungano; Jehovha akandipa iwo.

⁴And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.

⁵Zvino ndikadzoka, ndikaburuka mugomo, ndikaisa mabwendefa muareka yandakanga ndaita; ndipo paachiri zvino, sezvandakarairwa naJehovha.

⁵And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.

⁶Vana vaIsiraeri vakasimuka paBheeroti Bhenejaakani, vakaenda Mosera; ndipo pakafira Aroni, napaakavigwa; Ereazari, mwanakomana wake, akabata upristi panzvimbo yake.

⁶And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.

⁷Vakasimukapo, vakaenda Gudhogodha; vakasimuka paGudhogodha vakasvika Jotibhata, panyika yakanga ine hova dzemvura.

⁷From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

⁸Nguva iyo Jehovha akatsaura rudzi rwavaRevhi, kuti vatakure areka yesungano yaJehovha, nokumira pamberi paJehovha vachimushumira, nokuropafadza vanhu nezita rake, kusvikira nhasi.

⁸At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

⁹Naizvozvo vaRevhi havano mugove kana nhaka pakati pehama dzavo; Jehovha ndiye nhaka yavo, sezvavakaudzwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu.)

⁹Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.

¹⁰Ini ndikagara mugomo mazuva ana makumi mana nousiku huna makumi mana, sapakutanga; Jehovha akandinzwa nenguva iyowo; Jehovha akasakuparadza.

¹⁰And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.

¹¹Jehovha akati kwandiri, Simuka, utungamirire vanhu, vapinde, vatore nyika, yandakapikira madzibaba avo , kuti ndichavapa iyo.

¹¹And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.

¹²Zvino, Isiraeri, Jehovha Mwari wako unotsvakeiko kwauri, asi kuti utye Jehovha Mwari wako, ufambe munzira dzake dzose, nokumuda, nomoyo wako wose uye nomweya wako wose,

¹²And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

¹³nokuchengeta mirairo yaJehovha, nezvaakatema, zvandinokuraira nhasi kuti ufare zvakanaka.

¹³To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

¹⁴Tarira, denga nedenga ramatenga, nenyika nezvose zviri mukati mayo, ndezvaJehovha Mwari wako.

¹⁴Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.

¹⁵Asi Jehovha wakafarira madzibaba ako, akavada, akatsaura vana vavo vanovatevera, iyemi, kupfuura ndudzi dzose, sezvaunoona nhasi.

¹⁵Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

¹⁶Naizvozvo dzingisai moyo yenyu, murege kuva nemitsipa mikukutu.

¹⁶Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

¹⁷nekuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu ndiMwari wavamwari, naShe wamadzishe, Mwari mukuru, unotyisa, usingatsauri vanhu, kana kugamuchira mubayiro.

¹⁷For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

¹⁸Iye unoruramisira nherera nechirikadzi, unoda mutorwa, achimupa zvokudya nenguvo.

¹⁸He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

¹⁹Naizvozvo munofanira kuda mutorwa, nekuti imwi makanga muri vatorwa panyika yeEgipita.

¹⁹Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

²⁰Unofanira kutya Jehovha Mwari wako; unofanira kumushumira iye, nokumunamatira, nokupika nezita rake.

²⁰Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

²¹Ndiye waunofanira kurumbidza, ndiye Mwari wako, wakakuitira zvinhu izvi zvikuru zvinotyisa, zvawakaona nameso ako.

²¹He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

²²Madzibaba ako akaburukira Egipita vari vanhu vana makumi manomwe; zvino Jehovha Mwari wako wakakuwanza senyeredzi dzokudenga.

²²Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
