¹Haufaniri kuona nzombe yehama yako, kana gwai rake, zvichirashika, ukazvinyenyeredza; zvirokwazvo unofanira kuzvidzosera kuhama yako.

¹Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.

²Kana hama yako iri kure newe, zvimwe usingachizivi, unofanira kuenda nacho kumusha kwako, chigare kwauri kusvikira hama yako ichichitsvaka, ugochidzosera kwaari.

²And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.

³Unofanira kuita saizvozvowo nembongoro yake; unofanira kuita saizvozvowo nenguvo yake; unofanira kuita saizvozvowo nezvinhu zvose zvehama yako zvakarashika, chaakanga arashikirwa nacho, chikawanikwa newe; haufaniri kuzvinyenyeredza.

³In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

⁴Haufaniri kuona mbongoro, kana nzombe, zvehama yako zvawira pasi panzira, ukazvinyenyeredza; unofanira kumubatsira zvirokwazvo kuzvimutsa.

⁴Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

⁵Mukadzi haafaniri kufuka nguvo dzomurume, nomurume haafaniri kufuka nguvo dzomukadzi; nekuti ani naani unoita izvozvo unonyangadza Jehovha Mwari wako.

⁵The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

⁶Kana ukawana dendere reshiri panzira, pamuti upi noupi, kana pasi, rina vana kana mazai, mai ichivhuvatira vana kana mazai, haufaniri kutora mai navana;

⁶If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:

⁷unofanira kurega mai, asi vana ungatora hako; kuti zvive zvakanaka newe, uwedzerwe mazuva ako.

⁷But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

⁸Kana ukavaka imba itsva, unofanira kuisa rumhanda padenga rako, kuti urege kuuyisa mhosva yeropa pamusoro peimba yako, kana mumwe munhu akawapo.

⁸When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.

⁹Haufaniri kudzvara mbeu dzamarudzi maviri pamunda wako wemizambiringa, kuti zvibereko zvose zvirege kutsaurirwa nzvimbo tsvene, idzo mbeu dzawadzvara, nezvibereko zvomunda wemizambiringa.

⁹Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.

¹⁰Usarima nenzombe nembongoro zvakasungwa pamwechete.

¹⁰Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

¹¹Usafuka nguvo dzakarukwa nezvinhu zvakavhenganiswa, mvere pamwechete nomucheka.

¹¹Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.

¹²Unofanira kuzviitira masa pamiromo mina yenguvo yako yaunozvifukidza nayo.

¹²Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

¹³Kana munhu akawana mukadzi, akapinda kwaari, akazomuvenga,

¹³If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

¹⁴akamupomera zvinonyadza, nokutaura zvakaipa pamusoro pake, achiti, Ndakawana mukadzi uyu, asi ndakati ndichiswedera kwaari, handina kuwana zviratidzo zvoumhandara hwake kwaari;

¹⁴And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:

¹⁵zvino baba vomusikana namai vake vanofanira kuenda nezviratidzo zvoumhandara hwake kuvakuru veguta pasuwo;

¹⁵Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:

¹⁶zvino baba vomusikana vanofanira kuti kuvakuru, Ndakapa murume uyu mwanasikana wangu, kuti ave mukadzi wake, asi zvino womuvenga;

¹⁶And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

¹⁷tarirai, wamupomera zvinhu zvinonyadza, achiti, Handina kuwana zviratidzo zvoumhandara kumwanasikana wako; asi hezvi zviratidzo zvoumhandara hwomwanasikana wangu. Zvino vanofanira kuwarira nguvo pamberi pavakuru veguta.

¹⁷And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

¹⁸Ipapo vakuru veguta iro vanofanira kubata murume uyo, vamurove;

¹⁸And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

¹⁹nokumuripisa mashekeri esirivha ane zana, vagoapa baba vomusikana, nekuti wakataura zvakaipa pamusoro pomusikana waIsiraeri; zvino iye anofanira kuva mukadzi wake, haangamurashi mazuva ake ose.

¹⁹And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

²⁰Asi kana riri shoko rechokwadi, kuti zviratidzo zvoumhandara zvakashaikwa kumusikana,

²⁰But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

²¹vanofanira kubudisira musikana kumukova weimba yababa vake, varume veguta rake vagomutaka namabwe, afe; nekuti wakaita sebenzi pakati paIsiraeri, pakupata kwake paimba yababa vake; saizvozvo anofanira kubvisa zvakaipa pakati pako.

²¹Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

²²Kana murume akawanikwa achivata nomukadzi wakawanikwa nomurume wake, ivavo vose vanofanira kuurawa, murume wakavata nomukadzi naiye mukadziwo; saizvozvo iwe unofanira kubvisa zvakaipa pakati paIsiraeri.

²²If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

²³Kana kuno musikana, achiri mhandara, wakanyengwa nomurume, mumwe murume akamuwana muguta, akavata naye;

²³If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

²⁴ipapo munofanira kuvabudisa vose vari vaviri pasuwo reguta, mugovataka namabwe, vafe, musikana nekuti haana kuridza mhere, ari muguta hake, uye murume, nekuti wanyadzisa mukadzi wowokwake; saizvozvo iwe unofanira kubvisa zvakaipa pakati pako.

²⁴Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

²⁵Asi kana murume akawana musikana uyo wakanyengwa ari kusango, murume akaita simba naye, akavata naye, iye murume wakavata naye anofanira kufa, iye oga;

²⁵But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

²⁶asi musikana haufaniri kumuita chinhu; musikana haana kuita chivi chinofanirwa norufu; nekuti shoko iri rakafanana neromurume wakamukira wokwake akamuuraya;

²⁶But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

²⁷nekuti wakamuwana kusango, musikana wakanyengwa akaridza mhere, asi kwakanga kusinomunhu kumurwira.

²⁷For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

²⁸Kana murume akawana musikana, uchiri mhandara, ugere kunyengwa, akaita simba naye, akavata naye, vakaonekwa,

²⁸If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

²⁹ipapo murume wakavata naye anofanira kupa baba vake mashekeri ana makumi mashanu esirivha, zvino iye unofanira kuva mukadzi wake, nekuti wamunyadzisa; haafaniri kuzomurasha paupenyu hwake hwose.

²⁹Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

³⁰Murume haafaniri kutora mukadzi wababa vake, haafaniri kufukura nhere yababa vake.

³⁰A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
