¹Murayiro wose wandinokurairai nhasi munofanira kuchenjera kuti muuite, kuti mugorarama, nokuwanda, nokupinda munyika yakapikirwa madzibaba enyu naJehovha, muiite yenyu.

¹All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.

²Unofanira kurangarira nzira yose yawakafambiswa nayo naJehovha Mwari wako murenje makore awa makumi mana, kuti akuninipise, nokukuidza, kuti azive zvaiva mumoyo mako, kana wakange uchida kuchengeta mirairo yake, kana kwete.

²And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

³Akakuninipisa, akakuziyisa nenzara, akakugutsa nemana yawakanga usingazivi, kunyange madzibaba ako akanga asingaziviwo; kuti akuzivise kuti munhu haararami nezvokudya zvoga, asi kuti munhu unorarama nezvose zvinobuda mumuromo waJehovha.

³And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

⁴nguvo dzako hadzina kukusakarira, netsoka dzako hadzina kuzvimba makore awa makumi mana.

⁴Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

⁵Funga mumoyo mako, kuti Jehovha Mwari wako unokuranga somunhu unoranga mwanakomana wake.

⁵Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

⁶Unofanira kuchengeta mirairo yaJehovha Mwari wako, kuti ufambe nenzira dzake nokumutya.

⁶Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

⁷nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako unokupinza munyika yakanaka, nyika ine hova dzemvura, namatsime, namadziva akadzika, anobuda pamipata napamakomo;

⁷For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

⁸nyika ine zviyo, nebhari, nemizambiringa, nemionde, nemitamba; nyika yemiorivhi ina mafuta, nouchi;

⁸A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

⁹nyika kwauchadya chingwa, usingashaiwi, kwausingatongoshaiwi chinhu; nyika ina mabwe emhangura, napamakomo ayo uchachera ndarira.

⁹A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

¹⁰Uchadya ukaguta, ukavonga Jehovha Mwari wako nokuda kwenyika yakanaka yaakakupa.

¹⁰When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

¹¹Chenjera kuti urege kukangamwa Jehovha Mwari wako, ukasachengeta mirairo yake, nezvaakatonga, nezvaakatema, zvandinokuraira nhasi;

¹¹Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

¹²kuti kana wadya ukaguta, ukavaka dzimba dzakanaka, ukagara madziri,

¹²Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

¹³nemombe dzako namakwai ako akawanda, nesirivha yako nendarama yako ikawanda, nezvose zvaunazvo zvikawanda,

¹³And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

¹⁴moyo wako ukazvikudza, ukakangamwa Jehovha Mwari wako, wakakubudisa panyika yeEgipita paimba youranda;

¹⁴Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

¹⁵iye wakakufambisa murenje guru rinotyisa, makanga mune nyoka dzinopenga nezvinyavada, nevhu rakaoma risina mvura; iye wakakubudisira mvura padombo romusarasara;

¹⁵Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

¹⁶wakakugutsa murenje nemana, yakanga isina kuzikamwa namadzibaba ako, kuti akuninipise akuidze, kuti akuitire zvakanaka pakupedzisira;

¹⁶Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

¹⁷kuti urege kuzoti mumoyo mako, Simba rangu nokugona koruoko rwangu ndizvo zvakandiwanisa fuma iyi.

¹⁷And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

¹⁸Asi unofanira kurangarira Jehovha Mwari wako, nekuti ndiye unokupa simba rokufuma; kuti asimbise sungano yake, yaakapikira madzibaba ako, sezvaanoita nhasi.

¹⁸But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

¹⁹Zvino kana ukakangamwa Jehovha Mwari wako, ukatevera vamwe vamwari, ukavashumira, ukanamata kwavari, ndinokupupurirai nhasi kuti muchaparadzwa zvirokwazvo.

¹⁹And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

²⁰imwi muchaparadzwa sendudzi dzinoparadzwa naJehovha pamberi penyu; nekuti makaramba kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wenyu.

²⁰As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
