¹Naizvozvo unofanira kuda Jehovha Mwari wako, nokuchengeta nguva dzose murayiro wake, nezvaakatema, nezvaakatonga, nezvaakaraira.

¹Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

²Zivai nhasi nekuti handitauri navana venyu vasina kuziva, vasina kuona kuranga kwaJehovha Mwari wenyu ukuru hwake, neruoko rwake rune simba, noruoko rwake rwakatambanudzwa,

²And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

³nezviratidzo zvake, namabasa ake, aakaitira Farao, mambo pakati peEgipita nenyika yake yose;

³And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

⁴nezvaakaitira hondo yeEgipita, namabhiza avo, nengoro dzavo; kuti wakavafukidza nemvura yeGungwa Dzvuku, nguva yavakakutevererai, Jehovha akavaparadza kusvikira nhasi;

⁴And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;

⁵nezvaakakuitirai murenje, kudzimana makasvika panzvimbo ino;

⁵And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;

⁶nezvaakaitira Dhatani naAbhiramu, vanakomana vaEriabhu, mwanakomana waRubheni; namashamisire akaita nyika muromo wayo, ikavamedza, ivo navedzimba dzavo, namatende avo, nezvipenyu zvavo zvose zvakanga zvichivatevera, pakati pavalsiraeri vose.

⁶And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:

⁷Asi meso enyu akaona mabasa ose makuru aJehovha aakaita.

⁷But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

⁸Naizvozvo munofanira kuchengeta murayiro wose wandinokuraira nhasi, kuti musimbe, mupinde, mutore nyika iyo kwamunoyambuka kundoiita yenyu;

⁸Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;

⁹kuti mazuva enyu awedzerwe panyika, yakapikirwa madzibaba enyu naJehovha, kuti uchaipa ivo navana vavo, nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi.

⁹And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

¹⁰Nekuti nyika kwaunoenda kundoiita yako, haina kufanana nenyika yeEgipita, kwamakabuda, kwawaidzvara mbeu dzako, uchidzidiridza namakumbo ako, somunda wemiriwo,

¹⁰For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

¹¹asi nyika kwamunoyambuka, kundoiita yenyu, inyika yamakomo nemipata, inomwa mvura yokudenga;

¹¹But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

¹²inyika inochengetwa naJehovha Mwari wako; meso aJehovha Mwari wako anoramba achiitarira, kubva pakutanga kwegore kusvikira pakupedzisira kwegore.

¹²A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

¹³Zvino kana mukateerera zvakanaka mirairo yangu, yandinokurairai nhasi, mukada Jehovha Mwari wenyu nokumushumira nomoyo wenyu wose uye nomweya wenyu wose,

¹³And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

¹⁴ndichapa nyika yenyu mvura panguva yayo, mvura yokutanga nemvura yokuteverera, kuti ugone kukohwa zviyo zvako, newaini yako, namafuta ako.

¹⁴That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

¹⁵Ndichameresa uswa bwemombe dzako pamafuro ako, udye, ugute.

¹⁵And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

¹⁶Chenjerai kuti moyo yenyu irege kunyengerwa, murege kutsauka, mukashumira vamwe vamwari, nokunamata kwavari;

¹⁶Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

¹⁷kuti Jehovha arege kukutsamwirai, akapfiga kudenga, kuti mvura irege kunaya nenyika irege kubereka zvibereko zvayo; imwi mukakurumidza kuparadzwa panyika yakanaka yamunopiwa naJehovha.

¹⁷And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.

¹⁸Naizvozvo munofanira kuchengeta mashoko angu awa mumoyo yenyu nomumweya yenyu; munofanira kuasungira pamaoko enyu, chive chiratidzo, uye anofanira kuva rundanyara pakati pameso enyu.

¹⁸Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

¹⁹Uye munofanira kuadzidzisa vana venyu, muchitaurirana pamusoro pawo, kana iwe ugere paimba yako, kana uchifamba panzira, kana uchivata pasi, uye kana uchimuka;

¹⁹And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

²⁰unofanira kuanyora pamagwatidziro emikova yeimba yako, napamasuwo ako;

²⁰And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

²¹kuti mazuva enyu awedzerwe, namazuva avana venyu, panyika yakapikirwa madzibaba enyu naJehovha kuti uchavapa iyo, aite samazuva okudenga pamusoro penyika.

²¹That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

²²Nekuti kana mukachengeta zvakanaka murayiro uyu wose wandinokurairai, kuti muuite; mukada Jehovha Mwari wenyu, nokufamba nenzira dzake dzose, nokumunamatira;

²²For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

²³Jehovha uchadzinga ndudzi idzi dzose pamberi penyu, imwi muchabata ndudzi dzinokupfuurai noukuru nesimba, dzive dzenyu.

²³Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

²⁴Nzvimbo ipi neipi inotsikwa netsoka dzenyu ichava yenyu, nenyika yenyu ichabva parenje, neRebhanoni, kubva parwizi, rwizi Yufuratesi, kusvikira kugungwa rokumavirazuva.

²⁴Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

²⁵Hakuna munhu ungagona kumira pamberi penyu; Jehovha Mwari wenyu uchatyisa nokuvhundusa nyika yose pamusoro penyu, nyika iyo yamuchazotsika pamusoro payo, sezvaakataura kwamuri.

²⁵There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

²⁶Tarirai, nhasi ndinoisa pamberi penyu kuropafadzwa nokutukwa;

²⁶Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

²⁷kuropafadzwa, kana mukateerera mirairo yaJehovha Mwari wenyu, yandinokurairai nhasi;

²⁷A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

²⁸nokutukwa, kana musingateereri mirairo yaJehovha Mwari wenyu, asi muchitsauka panzira yandinokuraira nhasi, mukatevera vamwe vamwari vamusina kuziva.

²⁸And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

²⁹Zvino kana Jehovha Mwari wako akupinza panyika, kwamunoenda, kundoiita yako, unofanira kuisa kuropafadzwa pagomo reGerizimi, nokutukwa pagomo reEbhari.

²⁹And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

³⁰Ko makomo awo haazi mhiri kwaJoridhani, mberi kwenzira yokumavirira ezuva, munyika yavaKanani, vagere paMupata, pakatarisana neGirigari, pamiouki yeMore here?

³⁰Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

³¹Nekuti munofanira kuyambuka Joridhani, mupinde kundotora nyika yamunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu; ichava yenyu, mugaremo.

³¹For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

³²Chenjerai kuti muite zvakatemwa nezvakatongwa zvose, zvandinoisa pamberi penyu nhasi.

³²And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
