1Ndizvo zvakatemwa, nezvakatongwa, zvamunofanira kuchenjera kuti muzviite panyika yawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wamadzibaba ako, kuti ive yako, mazuva ose amunogara panyika.
1These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
2Munofanira kuparadza chose nzvimbo dzose, apo, ndudzi dzose dzamunopiwa kuti dzive dzenyu, padzaishumira vamwari vadzo, pamakomo marefu, napazvikomo, napasi pemiti mitema yose;
2Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
3munofanira kuputsa aritari dzavo, nokuputsanya shongwe dzavo, nokupisa matanda avo okunamata nawo; mutemewo mifananidzo yavo yakavezwa; kuti muparadze zita razvo panzvimbo iyo.
3And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
4Regai kuitira Jehovha Mwari wenyu saizvozvo.
4Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
5Asi munofanira kushanyira panzvimbo yakatsaurwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu pakati pamarudzi enyu ose, kuti aise zita rakepo, paanogara, ndipo pamunofanira kushanyirapo, nokuendapo,
5But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
6munofanira kuuyapo nezvipiriso zvenyu zvinopiswa, nezvibayiro zvenyu, nezvegumi zvenyu, nezvipiriso zvakatsaurwa namaoko enyu, nezvipikiso zvenyu, nezvipo zvokuda kwenyu, navana vemhongora dzemombe dzenyu nedzamakwai enyu;
6And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
7ndipo pamunofanira kudya pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu, muchifarira zvose zvamunobata namaoko enyu, imwi, nemhuri dzenyu, sezvamakaropafadzwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu.
7And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
8Hamufaniri kuita sezvatinoita pano nhasi, mumwe nomumwe sezvaanoona kuti ndizvo zvakanaka;
8Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
9nekuti muchigere kusvika pazororo napanhaka, yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
9For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
10Asi kana mayambuka Joridhani, mogara munyika yamunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu, ive nhaka yenyu, kana iye achikupai zororo pavavengi venyu vose vanokukombai, mogara makachengetwa,
10But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
11Zvino kunzvimbo yakatsaurwa naJehovha, kuti aise zita rakepo, ndiko kwamunofanira kuuya nezvose zvandinokurairai, zvinoti: zvipiriso zvenyu zvinopiswa, nezvibayiro zvenyu, nezvegumi zvenyu, nezvipiriso zvakatsaurwa namaoko enyu, nezvipikiso zvenyu zvakaisvonaka zvamunopikira Jehovha;
11Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
12mufare pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu, imwi navanakomana venyu, navanasikana venyu, navaranda venyu, navarandakadzi venyu, nomuRevhi uri mukati mamasuwo enyu, nekuti iye haana mugove kana nhaka pakati penyu.
12And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
13Chenjera kuti urege kuuya nezvipiriso zvako zvinopiswa panzvimbo ipi neipi yaunoona,
13Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
14asi panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha pano rumwe rwamarudzi ako, ndipo paunofanira kuuya nezvipo zvako zvinopiswa, ndipo paunofanira kuita zvose zvandinokuraira.
14But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
15Asi ungabaya hako nokudya hako nyama mukati mamasuwo ako ose, sezvinoda moyo wako, uye sezvawakaropafadzwa naJehovha Mwari wako; usina kunaka nowakanaka vose vangaidya, sezvinoitwa nenyama yemhara nenondo.
15Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
16Asi hamufaniri kudya ropa; unofanira kuriteurira pasi semvura.
16Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17Usadya mukati mamasuwo ako zvegumi zvezviyo zvako, kana zvewaini yako, kana zvamafuta ako, kana vana vemhongora dzemombe dzako, kana dzamakwai ako, kana chipikiso chipi nechipi chaunopika nacho, kana zvipo zvokuda kwako, kana chipiriso chinotsaurwa noruoko rwako;
17Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
18asi unofanira kuzvidya pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha Mwari wako, iwe, navanakomana vako navanasikana vako, navaranda vako navarandakadzi vako, nomuRevhi uri mukati mamasuwo ako; unofanira kufara pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako pazvose zvaunobata namaoko ako.
18But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
19Chenjera kuti urege kukangamwa muRevhi nguva yose yaunogara munyika yako.
19Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
20Zvino kana Jehovha Mwari wako akurisa nyika yako, sezvaakakupikira, iwe ukati, Ndichadya nyama, nekuti moyo wako unoda kudya nyama, ungadya hako nyama, sezvinoda moyo wako.
20When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
21Kana nzvimbo yakatsaurwa naJehovha, kuti aise zita rakepo, iri kure newe, unofanira kubaya zvimwe zvemombe dzako, kana zvamakwai ako, zvawakapiwa naJehovha, sezvandakakuraira, ugozvidya mukati mamasuwo ako, sezvinoda moyo wako.
21If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
22Unofanira kuzvidya sezvinodyiwa nyama yemhara neyenondo; usina kunaka nowakanaka vose vanofanira kuzvidya pamwechete.
22Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
23Asi chenjera kwazvo kuti urege kudya ropa, nekuti ropa ndihwo upenyu; usadya upenyu pamwechete nenyama.
23Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
24Usaridya, asi unofanira kuriteurira pasi semvura.
24Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
25Usaridya, kuti zvive zvakanaka newe, iwe, navana vako vanokutevera, kana uchiita zvakarurama pamberi paJehovha.
25Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
26Asi zvinhu zvako zvitsvene, nezvipikiso zvako, unofanira kuzvitora nokuenda nazvo kunzvimbo yakatsaurwa naJehovha.
26Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
27Zvino unofanira kugadzira zvipiriso zvako zvinopiswa, nyama neropa, paaritari yaJehovha Mwari wako; ropa rezvibayiro zvako rinofanira kuteurirwa paaritari yaJehovha Mwari wako, asi iwe unofanira kudya nyama.
27And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
28teerera unzwe zvakanaka mashoko awa andinokuraira, kuti zvive zvakanaka newe, iwe,navana vako vanokutevera nokusingaperi, kana uchiita zvakanaka nezvakarurama pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako.
28Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
29Zvino kana Jehovha Mwari wako achiparadza pamberi pako ndudzi idzo, dzaunoenda kwadziri kundodziita dzako, ukadziita dzako, ukagara munyika yadzo;
29When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
30uchenjere kuti urege kunyengerwa kuzodzitevera, idzo dzamboparadzwa pamberi pako; kuti urege kubvunza vamwari vavo, uchiti, Ndudzi idzi dzinoshumira vamwari vadzo seiko? Neni ndichaitawo saizvozvo.
30Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31Usaitira Jehovha Mwari wako saizvozvo; nekuti ivo vakaitira vamwari vavo zvose zvinonyangadza Jehovha, nezvaanovenga; nekuti kunyange vanakomana vavo navanasikana vavo vanovapisira vamwari vavo pamoto.
31Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32Chinhu chipi nechipi chandinokurairai, chenjerai kuti muzviite; musawedzera kwazviri, kana kutapudza kwazviri.
32What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
