1Zvino Mwari akataura mashoko awa ose, akati,
1And God spake all these words, saying,
2Ndini Jehovha, Mwari wako, akakubvisa munyika yeEgipita, muimba yeuranda.
2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3Usava nevamwe vamwari kunze kwangu.
3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4Usazviitira mufananidzo wakavezwa, kana uri mufananidzo wechinhu chiri kudenga kumusoro, kana wechiri panyika pasi, kana wechiri mumvura pasi penyika.
4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5Usapfugamira izvozvo, kana kuzvishumira; nekuti ini Jehovha, Mwari wako, ndiri Mwari ane godo; ndinorova vana nokuda kwezvivi zvamadzibaba avo, kusvikira kurudzi rwechitatu norwechina rwavanondivenga ;
5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6ndichaitira nyasha vane zviuru zvamazana vanondida, vanochengeta mirairo yangu.b
6And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7Usareva zita raJehovha Mwari wako pasina; nekuti Jehovha haangaregi kupa mhosva anoreva zita rake pasina.
7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8Rangarira zuva resabata, kuti urichengete rive dzvene.
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Ubate mazuva matanhatu, uite mabasa ako ose;
9Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
10asi zuva rechinomwe isabata raJehovha Mwari wako; usatongobata mabasa naro, iwe, kana mwanakomana wako, kana mwanasikana wako, kana muranda wako, kana murandakadzi wako, kana zvipfuwo zvako, kana mweni wako ari mukati mamasuwo ako,
10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11nekuti namazuva matanhatu Jehovha akaita denga napasi, negungwa, nezvose zviri mukati mazvo, akazorora nezuva rechinomwe; naizvozvo Jehovha akaropafadza zuva resabata akariita dzvene.
11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12Kudza baba vako namai vako, kuti mazuva ako ave mazhinji panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
12Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13Usauraya.
13Thou shalt not kill.
14Usaita upombwe.
14Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15Usaba.
15Thou shalt not steal.
16Usapupurira wokwako nhema.
16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
17Usachiva imba yowokwako, usachiva mukadzi wowokwako, kana muranda wake, kana murandakadzi wake, kana nzombe yake, kana dhongi rake, kana chimwe chowokwako.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
18Vanhu vose vakaona kutinhira, nemheni, nenzwi rehwamanda, negomo rinopfungaira, zvino vanhu vakati vachiona izvozvo, vakadedera vakamira kure.
18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
19Vakati kuna Mozisi, imwi chitaurai henyu nesu, tinzwe; asi Mwari ngaarege kutaura nesu, tirege kufa.
19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
20Mozisi akati kuvanhu, Musatya henyu, nekuti Mwari akauya kuzokuidzai, kuti mugare muchimutya, murege kutadza.
20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
21Vanhu vakamira kure, Mozisi akaswedera kurima guru kwakanga kuna Mwari.
21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
22Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Iti kuvana vaIsiraeri, imwi makaona mumene kuti ndakataura nemwi ndiri kudenga.
22And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23Musaita vamwe vamwari pamwechete neni; musazviitira vamwari vesirivha kana vamwari vendarama.
23Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
24Undiitire aritari yevhu, ubayire pamusoro payo zvipiriso zvako zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvako zvokuyananisa, namakwai ako nenzombe dzako; panzvimbo imwe neimwe pandicharangaridza zita rangu, ndichauyapo kwauri, ndichikuropafadza.
24An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
25Zvino kana uchindivakira aritari yamabwe, urege kuivaka namabwe akavezwa, nekuti kana ukasimudzira mbezo yako pamusoro pebwe, warisvibisa.
25And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
26Rega kukwirawo kuaritari yangu nezvikwiriso, kuti kunyasi kwako kurege kufukurwa kwairi.
26Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
