¹Vapristi vaRevhi, norudzi rwose rwaRevhi, havafaniri kuva nomugove kana nhaka pamwechete naIsiraeri, vanofanira kudya zvipiriso zvaJehovha zvinopiswa nenhaka yake.

¹The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.

²Havafaniri kuva nenhaka pakati pehama dzavo; Jehovha ndiye nhaka yavo, sezvaakataura kwavari.

²Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

³Zvino ndizvo zvinofanira kupiwa vapristi navanhu, naivo vanouya nechibayiro, kana iri nzombe kana gwai; vanofanira kupa mupristi bandauko, neshayambiri, nesusu.

³And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

⁴Zvitsva zvezviyo zvako, nezvewaini yako, nezvamafuta ako, nemvere dzokutanga dzamakwai ako, ndizvo zvaunofanira kuvapa.

⁴The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.

⁵nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako wakamutsaura iye pakati pamarudzi ako ose, kuti amire achishumira nezita raJehovha, iye, navanakomana vake nokusingaperi.

⁵For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

⁶Zvino kana muRevhi akabva kune rimwe ramasuwo ako muIsiraeri mose, kwaagere, akauya nomoyo wake kunzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha,

⁶And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;

⁷iye anofanira kubata basa nezita raJehovha Mwari wake, sezvinoita hama dzake dzose vaRevhi dzinomirapo pamberi paJehovha.

⁷Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

⁸Vanofanira kupiwa migove yakaenzana yezvokudya, kunze kwezvaakawana pakutengesa nhaka yamadzibaba ake.Havafaniri kutevera tsika dzavahedheni

⁸They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

⁹Zvino kana wasvika munyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, usadzidza kutevera zvinonyangadza zvendudzi idzo.

⁹When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

¹⁰Pakati pako hapafaniri kuwanikwa munhu unopinza mwanakomana wake kana mwanasikana wake mumoto, kana unouka, kana unotenda mashura, kana unoita mazango, kana muroyi,

¹⁰There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

¹¹kana n'anga, kana unobvunza masvikiro, kana muuki, kana unobvunza vakafa.

¹¹Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

¹²Nekuti vose vanoita zvinhu izvi vanonyangadza Jehovha; nokuda kwezvinonyangadza izvi Jehovha Mwari wako unovadzinga pamberi pako.

¹²For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

¹³Unofanira kuva wakarurama pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako.

¹³Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

¹⁴Nekuti ndudzi idzi dzamunopiwa dzive dzenyu, dzinoteerera vanotenda mashura navanouka; asi iwe Jehovha Mwari wako haana kukutendera kuita izvozvo.

¹⁴For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

¹⁵Jehovha Mwari wako uchakumutsira muporofita, unobva pakati pako, pahama dzako, wakafanana neni; unofanira kumuteerera iye;

¹⁵The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

¹⁶sezvawakakumbira kuna Jehovha Mwari wako paHorebhu nomusi weungano, uchiti,

¹⁶According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

¹⁷Jehovha akati kwandiri, Zvose zvavakareva, vakataura havo zvakanaka.

¹⁷And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

¹⁸Ndichavamutsira muporofita, unobva pakati pehama dzavo, wakafanana newe; ndichaisa mashoko angu mumuromo make, iye uchavaudza zvose zvandinomuraira.

¹⁸I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

¹⁹Zvino munhu upi noupi usingatereri mashoko angu, aachataura muzita rangu, ndichamubvunza pamusoro paizvozvo.

¹⁹And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

²⁰Asi muporofita unotaura shoko muzita rangu achizvikudza, riri shoko randisina kumuraira kuti aritaure, kana zvimwe unotaura muzita ravamwe vamwari, muporofita uyo anofanira kufa.

²⁰But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

²¹Zvino kana iwe ukati mumoyo mako, Ko tichaziva seiko shoko risina kutaurwa naJehovha?

²¹And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

²²Kana muporofita achinge ataura muzita raJehovha, chinhu icho chikasaitika, chikasavapo, ndicho chinhu chisina kutaurwa naJehovha; muporofita wakaritaura achizvikudza, haufaniri kumutya.

²²When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
