¹And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

²Kuropafadzwa uku kose kuchaitika kwauri, uchatevererwa nako, kana uchiteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako.

²And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

³Ucharopafadzwa muguta, ucharopafadzwa mumunda.

³Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

⁴Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

⁶Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

⁷Jehovha uchakukundisa vavengi vako, vanokumukira, pamberi pako; vachauya kuzorwa newe nenzira imwe, vachatiza pamberi pako nenzira nomwe.

⁷The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

⁸The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

⁹The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.

¹⁰And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.

¹¹And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

¹²Jehovha uchakuzarurira fuma yake yakanaka yokudenga, akupe mvura yenyika yako nenguva yayo; nokuropafadza mabasa ose amaoko ako; iwe uchapa ndudzi zhinji chikwereti.

¹²The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

¹³Jehovha uchakuita musoro, haangakuiti muswe; uchava kumusoro chete, haungavi pasi; kana uchiteerera mirairo yaJehovha Mwari wako, yandinokuraira nhasi, uchishingaira kuiita;

¹³And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

¹⁴usingatsauki pane rimwe ramashoko andinokuraira, kurudyi kana kuruboshwe, uchitevera vamwe vamwari kuti uvashumire.

¹⁴And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

¹⁵But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

²⁰Jehovha uchatuma pamusoro pako kutukwa, nokunyonganiswa, nokurangwa, pazvose zvaunobata namaoko ako, kusvikira waparadzwa, uye kusvikira wakurumidza kupera, nokuda kwezvakaipa zvaunoita, zvawakandisiya nazvo.

²⁰The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

²¹Jehovha uchakunamatidza denda, kusvikira akupedza kunyika kwaunoenda, kuti ive yako.

²¹The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.

²²The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

²³And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

²⁴The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

²⁵Jehovha uchatendera kuti ukundwe navavengi vako; uchabuda kundorwa navo nenzira imwe, uchatiza pamberi pavo nenzira nomwe; uchava chinhu chinotyisa pakati poushe hwose bwenyika.

²⁵The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

²⁶Zvitunha zvako zvichava zvokudya zveshiri dzose dzokudenga nezvikara zvenyika, kusina munhu unozvidzinga.

²⁶And thy carcass shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.

²⁸The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

²⁹uchatsvangadzira masikati, sebofu rinotsvangadzira murima, haungafari panzira dzako; ucharemedzwa nokubirwa nguva dzose, hakungavi nomunhu unokurwira.

²⁹And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.

³⁰Uchanyenga mukadzi, asi mumwe murume uchavata naye; uchavaka dzimba, asi haungagarimo; ucharima munda wemizambiringa, asi haungadyi michero yayo.

³⁰Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.

³¹Mombe yako ichabayiwa uchizviona, asi haungaidyi; mbongoro yako ichatorwa nesimba uchizviona, asi haingadzoserwi kwauri; makwai ako achapiwa vavengi vako, haungawani unokurwira.

³¹Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.

³²Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.

³³The fruit of thy land, and all thy labors, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

³⁴Uchapengeswa nezvauchaona nameso ako.

³⁴So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

³⁵Jehovha uchakurova pamabvi ako, napamakumbo ako, namamota anorwadza, acharamba kupora, kubva parutsoka kusvikira pamusoro pomusoro wako.

³⁵The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

³⁶Jehovha uchakuisa iwe namambo wako wauchazvitsaurira kurudzi rwawakanga usingazivi iwe namadzibaba ako; zvino uchandoshumirapo vamwe vamwari vamatanda namabwe.

³⁶The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

³⁷Iwe uchaitwa chishamiso, neshumo, nechiseko, pakati pavanhu vose kwauchandoiswa naJehovha.

³⁹Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.

⁴³Mutorwa ugere pakati pako ucharamba achikwirira kupfuura iwe; iwe ucharamba uchiderera.

⁴³The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

⁴⁴lye uchakupa chikwereti, asi iwe haungamupi chikwereti; iye uchava musoro, iwe uchava muswe.

⁴⁴He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

⁴⁵Kutukwa uku kose kuchaitika kwauri, nokukutevera, nokukubata, kusvikira waparadzwa; nekuti hauna kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, nokuchengeta mirairo yake nezvaakatema, zvaakakuraira.

⁴⁵Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

⁴⁶Zvichava pamusoro pako napamusoro pavana vako, zvive zviratidzo nezvishamiso nokusingaperi;

⁴⁶And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

⁴⁷nekuti hauna kushumira Jehovha Mwari wako nomufaro, nomoyo unofara, nokuda kokuwanda kwezvose.

⁴⁷Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

⁴⁸Naizvozvo uchafanira kubatira vavengi vako, vauchatumirwa naJehovha kuti urwe navo , uchinzwa nzara nenyota, uchishaiwa zvokufuka nezvose izvi; iye uchaisa joko redare pamutsipa wako, kusvikira akuparadza.

⁴⁸Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

⁴⁹Jehovha achauyisa rudzi runobva kure kuzorwa newe, runobva kumagumisiro enyika, segondo rinobhururuka, rudzi rwausinganzwisisi rurimi rwarwo;

⁴⁹The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

⁵⁰rudzi rune hasha, rusingarangariri vatana, kana kunzwira majaya tsitsi.

⁵⁰A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young:

⁵¹Vachadya zvibereko zvemombe dzako, nezvibereko zvevhu rako, kusvikira waparadzwa; havangakusiiri zviyo, kana waini, kana mafuta, kana zvakaberekwa nemhou dzako, kana makwayana amakwai ako, kusvikira waparadzwa navo.

⁵¹And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

⁵²Vachakukomba pamasuwo ako ose, kusvikira masvingo ako marefu ane simba awa ose, awakatenda munyika yako yose; vachakukomba pamasuwo ako ose panyika yako yose, yawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

⁵²And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

⁵³Uchadya zvibereko zvomuviri wako, nyama yavanakomana vako navanasikana vako, vawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kana wokombwa nokumanikidzwa navavengi vako.

⁵³And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:

⁵⁴Murume unoundere nounounengwe kwazvo pakati pako uchava nomufungo wakaipa kuhama yake, nokumukadzi wake waanoda, nokuvana vake vaanenge asarirwa navo;

⁵⁴So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:

⁵⁵haangapi mumwe wavo nyama yavana vake vaachadya, nekuti iye haangavi nechaakasarirwa nacho, kana wokombwa nokumanikidzwa navavengi vako pamasuwo ako ose.

⁵⁵So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

⁵⁶Mukadzi unoundere nounounengwe pakati pako, wakange asingadi kutsika pasi norutsoka rwake nokuda kounengwe hwake noundere hwake, uchava nomufungo wakaipa kumurume wake waanoda, nemwanakomana wake, nomwanasikana wake;

⁵⁶The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

⁵⁷nokumwana wake muduku, waachangobereka, nokuvana vake vaachazobereka; nekuti uchadya pakavanda nokuda kokushaiwa zvinhu zvose, kana wokombwa nokumanikidzwa navavengi vako pamasuwo ako.

⁵⁷And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

⁵⁸Kana usingachenjeri kuita mashoko ose omurayiro uyu, akanyorwa mubhuku iyi, kuti utye zita iri rinobwinya nerinotyisa, rinoti: JEHOVHA MWARI WAKO;

⁵⁸If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;

⁵⁹Jehovha uchakurova iwe navana vako namatambudziko anoshamisa, matambudziko makuru, asingakurumidzi kupera, namatenda akaipa, asingakurumidzi kupera.

⁵⁹Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

⁶⁰Uchauyisazve pamusoro pako hosha dzose dzeEgipita, dzawakanga uchitya, kuti dzikunamatire.

⁶⁰Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

⁶¹Namatenda ose, namatambudziko ose, asina kunyorwa mubhuku yomurayiro uyu, ndiwo achauyiswa naJehovha pamusoro pako, kusvikira waparadzwa.

⁶¹Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

⁶²Muchasara mava vashoma, kunyange makanga muri vazhinji senyeredzi dzokudenga; nekuti hauna kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako.

⁶²And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

⁶³Zvino Jehovha sezvaakanga achikufarirai achida kukuitirai zvakanaka, nokukuwanzai, saizvozvo Jehovha uchafara pamusoro penyu kukupedzai nokukuparadzai; muchadzurwa kunyika kwaunoenda, kuti ive yako.

⁶³And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

⁶⁴Jehovha uchakurashanya pakati pendudzi dzose, kubva pamugumo mumwe wenyika kusvikira kuno mumwe mugumo; ipapo uchandoshumira vamwe vamwari vawakanga usingazivi, iwe namadzibaba ako, vamwari vamatanda navamabwe.

⁶⁴And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

⁶⁵Pakati pendudzi idzo haungawani zororo, netsoka dzako hadzingawani pokuzorora; asi Jehovha uchakupa ipapo moyo unowonda;

⁶⁵And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

⁶⁶upenyu hwako hucharembera pamberi pako, uchatya usiku namasikati, haungazivi kana uchararama;

⁶⁶And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

⁶⁷mangwanani uchati, Dai aiva madekwana! Madekwana uchati, Dai aiva mangwanani! Nokutya komoyo wako, zvauchaona nameso ako.

⁶⁷In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

⁶⁸Jehovha uchakuisazve Egipita nezvikepe nenzira yandakati kwauri, Hauchazoionizve; ipapo muchandozvitengesa kuvavengi venyu, kuti muve varanda navarandakadzi, asi hakungavi nomunhu uchakutengai.

⁶⁸And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
