¹Ndiwo mashoko esungano yakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha, kuti aiite navana vaIsiraeri panyika yaMoabhu, kunze kwesungano yaakaita navo paHorebhu.

¹These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

²Zvino Mozisi akadana vaIsiraeri vose, akati kwavari, Makaona zvose zvakaitwa naJehovha pamberi penyu panyika yeEgipita kuna Farao navaranda vake vose, nokunyika yake yose;

²And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

³miidzo iya mikuru yamakaona nameso enyu, nezviratidzo, nezvishamiso zviya zvikuru.

³The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:

⁴Asi Jehovha haana kukupai moyo inoziva, nameso anoona, nenzeve dzinonzwa kusvikira nhasi.

⁴Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

⁵Ndakakutungamirirai murenje makore ana makumi mana; nguvo dzenyu hadzina kukusakarirai, neshangu dzako hadzina kusakara patsoka dzako.

⁵And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

⁶Hamuna kudya chingwa, kana kumwa waini nezvinobata; kuti muzive kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

⁶Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

⁷Zvino makati muchisvika panzvimbo ino, Sihoni, mambo weHeshibhoni, naOgi, mambo weBhashani, vakauya kuzorwa nesu, tikavakunda;

⁷And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:

⁸tikatora nyika yavo, tikaipa vaRubheni navaGadhi nehafu yorudzi rwaManase, kuti ive nhaka yavo.

⁸And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.

⁹Naizvozvo chengetai mashoko esungano iyi, muiite, kuti mufare pazvose zvamunoita,

⁹Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

¹⁰Mumire nhasi mose pamberi paJehovha Mwari, vatungamiriri venyu, namarudzi enyu, navakuru venyu, navatariri venyu, ivo varume vose vaIsiraeri,

¹⁰Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,

¹¹nepwere dzenyu, navakadzi venyu, navatorwa vako vari pakati pemisasa yako, kubva pavatemi vehuni dzako kusvikira kuvacheri vemvura yako;

¹¹Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:

¹²kuti upinde pasungano yaJehovha Mwari wako, napakupika kwake kwaanokupikira nhasi iye Jehovha Mwari wako;

¹²That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:

¹³kuti akusimbise nhasi uve rudzi rwake, iye ave Mwari wako, sezvaakataura kwauri, uye sezvaakapikira madzibaba ako, Abhurahamu, naIsaka, naJakove.

¹³That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

¹⁴Handiiti sungano iyi nokupika uku nemwi moga;

¹⁴Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

¹⁵asi naivo vamire pano nesu nhasi pamberi paJehovha Mwari wedu, uye navasipo nesu nhasi;

¹⁵But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:

¹⁶(Nokuti munoziva kugara kwedu panyika yeEgipita, nokufamba kwedu pakati pendudzi, dzamakapfuura pakati padzo,

¹⁶(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;

¹⁷mukaona zvinonyangadza zvavo, nezvifananidzo zvavo zvamatanda nezvamabwe, nesirivha nendarama, zvakanga zviri pakati pavo;)

¹⁷And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

¹⁸kuti pakati penyu parege kuva nomurume, kana mukadzi, kana mhuri, kana rudzi, vanomoyo unotsauka kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu nhasi, kuti vandoshumira vamwari vendudzi idzo; kuti pakati penyu parege kuva nomudzi unobereka zvinouraya negavakava;

¹⁸Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

¹⁹zvino kana achinzwa mashoko okupika uku, azvirumbidze pamoyo wake, achiti, Ndichava norugare, kunyange ndichifamba hangu noukukutu hwomoyo wangu, kuti zvakanyorova nezvakaoma zviparadzwe pamwechete ;

¹⁹And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

²⁰Jehovha haangamukangamwiri, asi nenguva iyo kutsamwa kwaJehovha neshungu dzake zvichapfungairira munhu uyo, nokutukwa kose kwakanyorwa mubhuku iyi kuchamunamatira; Jehovha uchadzima zita rake pasi pokudenga.

²⁰The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

²¹Jehovha uchamutsaurira zvakaipa zvose pakati pamarudzi ose alsiraeri, kuti atukwe nokutuka kose kwesungano yakanyorwa mubhuku iyi yomurayiro.

²¹And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

²²Zvino rudzi runotevera, ivo vana venyu vachamuka pashure penyu, navatorwa vanobva kunyika iri kure, kana vachiona matambudziko enyika iyo, namatenda aicharwadziswa nawo naJehovha;

²²So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;

²³uye kuti nyika yose isuferi, nomunyu, nokutsva, kuti haidzvarwi, haimedzi, uye kuti uswa hahumerimo, sapakuparadzwa kweSodhoma neGomora, neAdhama neZebhoimu, aya maguta akaparadzwa naJehovha pakutsamwa kwake neshungu dzake;

²³And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

²⁴uye ndudzi dzose dzichati, Jehovha wakaitira nyika iyo saizvozvo neiko? Kupisa kokutsamwa uku kukuru kunoti kudiniko?

²⁴Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

²⁵Zvino vanhu vachati, nekuti vakasiya sungano yaJehovha Mwari wamadzibaba avo, yaakaita navo nguva yaakavabudisa panyika yeEgipita;

²⁵Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:

²⁶vakashumira vamwe vamwari, vakanamata kwavari, vamwari vavakanga vasingazivi, vavasina kupiwa naye;

²⁶For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

²⁷naizvozvo kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakamukira nyika iyi, kuti aituke nokutuka kose kwakanyorwa mubhuku iyi.

²⁷And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

²⁸Jehovha akavadzipura panyika yavo nokutsamwa kwake neshungu dzake nehasha dzake huru, akavarashira kune imwe nyika, sezvazvakaita nhasi.

²⁸And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

²⁹Zvinhu zvakavanzwa ndezvaJehovha Mwari wedu; asi zvinhu zvakaratidzwa pachena ndezvedu, isu navana vedu nokusingaperi, kuti tiite mashoko ose omurayiro uyu.

²⁹The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
