¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²Uyezve, uti kuvana vaIsiraeri, Ani naani pakati pavana vaIsiraeri, kana pavatorwa vagere pakati pavaIsiraeri, unopa Moreki vana vake, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa; vanhu venyika vanofanira kumutaka namabwe.

²Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

³Neniwo ndichananaidza munhu uyo, ndichamubvisa pakati porudzi rwake; nekuti wakapa Moreki vamwe pakati pavana vake, kuti asvibise imba yangu tsvene, nokumhura zita rangu dzvene.

³And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

⁴Kana vanhu vakaita savasingaoni munhu uyo, kana achipa Moreki vamwe pakati pavana vake, vakasamuuraya;

⁴And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:

⁵ipapo ini ndichananaidza munhu uyo nemhuri yake, ndimubvise pakati porudzi rwake, iye navose vanomutevera pakupata naMoreki.

⁵Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

⁶Munhu unotsaukira kumasvikiro navavuki kuvatevera pakupata, ndichananaidza munhu uyo, ndimubvise pakati porudzi rwake.

⁶And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

⁷Naizvozvo zvitsaurei, muve vatsvene; nekuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

⁷Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.

⁸Munofanira kuchengeta mitemo yangu, nokuiita; ndini Jehovha unokutsaurai.

⁸And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.

⁹Nekuti mumwe nomumwe unotuka baba vake, kana mai vake, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa; munhu wakatuka baba vake kana mai vake, mhosva yeropa rake ichava pamusoro pake.

⁹For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

¹⁰Munhu unoita upombwe nomukadzi womumwe, iye unoita upombwe nomukadzi wowokwake, zvirokwazvo mhombwe nechifeve vose vachaurawa.

¹⁰And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

¹¹Munhu unovata nomukadzi wababa vake, wafukura baba vake, zvirokwazvo vose vari vaviri vanofanira kuurawa; mhosva yeropa ravo ichava pamusoro pavo.

¹¹And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹²Kana munhu akavata nomukadzi womwanakomana wake, zvirokwazvo vose vari vaviri vanofanira kuurawa; vakaita zvinonyangadza kwazvo; mhosva yeropa ravo ichava pamusoro pavo.

¹²And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

¹³Kana munhu akavata nomurume sezvinoitwa nomukadzi, zvirokwazvo vose vari vaviri vakaita zvinonyangadza, vose vanofanira kuurawa; mhosva yeropa ravo ichava pamusoro pavo.

¹³If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁴Kana munhu akatora mukadzi pamwechete namai vake, zvakaipa; vanofanira kupiswa nomoto vose, iye naivo; kuti kurege kuva nezvakaipa pakati penyu.

¹⁴And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

¹⁵Kana munhu akavata nechipfuwo, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa; nechipfuwowo munofanira kuchiuraya.

¹⁵And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

¹⁶Kana mukadz akaswedera kuchipfuwo chipi nechipi kuti avate pamberi pacho, munofanira kuuraya mukadzi nechipfuwo; zvirokwazvo zvinofanira kuurawa; mhosva yeropa razvo ichava pamusoro pazvo.

¹⁶And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁷Kana munhu akatora hanzvadzi yake, mwanasikana wababa vake, kana mwanasikana wamai vake, akamufukura, naiyewo akamufukura, chinhu chinyonyadza; vachabviswa pamberi pavana vorudzi rwavo; wafukura hanzvadzi yake, iye uchava nemhosva yake.

¹⁷And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁸Kana munhu akavata nomukadzi panguva yokuva kumwedzi kwake, akamufukura, wafukura tsime rake, naiye wafukura tsime reropa rake; ivo vaviri vose vanofanira kubviswa pakati porudzi rwavo.

¹⁸And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

¹⁹Usafukura mainini vako, kana vatete vako, nekuti wafukura hama yako yomumba; vachava nemhosva yavo.

¹⁹And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.

²⁰Kana munhu akavata nomukadzi wababamunini vake, wafukura babamunini vake; vachava nezvivi zvavo; vachafa vasina vana.

²⁰And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

²¹Kana munhu akatora mukadzi womunin'ina wake, chinhu chine tsvina; wafukura munin'ina wake; vachashaiwa vana.

²¹And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

²²Naizvozvo chengetai mitemo yangu yose, nezvose zvandakatonga, kuti muzviite; kuti nyika yandinozokuisai kwairi, kuti mugaremo, irege kukurutsai.

²²Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.

²³Musafamba netsika dzorudzi rwavanhu vandichadzinga pamberi penyu; nekuti ivo vakaita izvozvo zvose, naizvozvo ndakavasema.

²³And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

²⁴Asi ndakakuudzai imwi, ndikati, Muchagara nhaka yenyika yavo, ndichakupai iyo ive yenyu; inyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, wakakutsaurai pakati pedzimwe ndudzi.

²⁴But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.

²⁵Naizvozvo tsaurai zvipfuwo zvakanaka pane zvakaipa, neshiri dzakaipa pane dzakanaka; kuti murege kuva vanhu vanonyangadza nezvipfuwo, kana neshiri, kana nechinhu chipi nechipi chinokambaira panyika chandakatsaura kwamuri ndichiti, hazvina kunaka.

²⁵Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

²⁶Munofanira kuva vatsvene kwandiri; nekuti ini Jehovha ndiri mutsvene, ndakakutsaurai pakati pedzimwe ndudzi, kuti muve vangu.

²⁶And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

²⁷Murume kana mukadzi unosvikirwa, kana uri muuki, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa; vanofanira kutakwa namabwe; mhosva yeropa ravo ichava pamusoro pavo.

²⁷A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
