¹Rangarira mwedzi weAbhibhi, udye Pasika yaJehovha Mwari wako nawo; nekuti nomwedzi weAbhibhi Jehovha Mwari wako wakakubudisa panyika yeEgipita usiku.

¹`Observe the month of Abib — and thou hast made a passover to Jehovah thy God, for in the month of Abib hath Jehovah thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night;

²Unofanira kubayira Jehovha Mwari wako Pasika yamakwai nemombe panzvimbo inotsaurwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kuti agarise zita rakepo.

²and thou hast sacrificed a passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock, and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.

³Usadya chingwa chakaviriswa pamwechete nayo; unofanira kuita mazuva manomwe uchidya chingwa chisina kuviriswa pamwechete nayo, ndicho chingwa chokutambudzika; nekuti wakabuda panyika yeEgipita nokukurumidza; kuti urangarire zuva rawakabuda naro panyika yeEgipita mazuva ose oupenyu hwako.

³`Thou dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction; for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of Egypt all days of thy life;

⁴Mazuva manomwe mbiriso haifaniri kutongoonekwa panyika yako yose; uye nyama yamunobayira pazuva rokutanga madekwana, haifaniri kutongosara usiku hwose kusvikira mangwana.

⁴and there is not seen with thee leaven in all thy border seven days, and there doth not remain of the flesh which thou dost sacrifice at evening on the first day till morning.

⁵Haufaniri kubayira Pasika mukati merimwe ramasuwo ako, aunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako;

⁵`Thou art not able to sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee,

⁶asi panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kuti agarise zita rakepo, ndipo paunofanira kubayira Pasika madekwana, kana zuva rovira, panguva yawakabuda nayo Egipita.

⁶except at the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle — there thou dost sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of thy coming out of Egypt;

⁷Unofanira kuibika, nokuidya panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha Mwari wako, fume mangwana unofanira kudzokera kumatende ako.

⁷and thou hast cooked and eaten in the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix, and hast turned in the morning, and gone to thy tents;

⁸Unofanira kudya chingwa chisina kuviriswa mazuva matanhatu; pazuva rechinomwe unofanira kuita ungano huru kuna Jehovha Mwari wako; usabata mabasa naro.

⁸six days thou dost eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to Jehovah thy God; thou dost do no work.

⁹Unofanira kuverenga mavhiki manomwe, kubva panguva yaunotanga kukohwa zviyo zvigere kukohiwa, unofanira kuverenga mavhiki manomwe.

⁹`Seven weeks thou dost number to thee; from the beginning of the sickle among the standing corn thou dost begin to number seven weeks,

¹⁰Zvino uitire Jehovha Mwari wako mutambo wamavhiki, uchiuya muruoko rwako nechipo chokuda kwako, uchipa sezvawakaropafadzwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

¹⁰and thou hast made the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God, a tribute of a free-will offering of thy hand, which thou dost give, as Jehovah thy God doth bless thee.

¹¹Unofanira kufara pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako, iwe nomwanakomana wako, nomwanasikana wako, nomuranda wako, nomurandakadzi wako, nomuRevhi uri mukati mamasuwo ako, nomweni, nenherera, nechirikadzi, vagere pakati pako, panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kuti agarise zita rakepo.

¹¹And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there,

¹²Unofanira kurangarira kuti iwe wakange uri muranda paEgipita; unofanira kuchengeta nokuita izvi zvakatemwa.

¹²and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and hast observed and done these statutes.

¹³Unofanira kutamba mutambo wamatumba mazuva manomwe, kana wapedza kuunganidza zvose zvapaburiro rako nechisviniro chako chewaini.

¹³`The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days, in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy wine-vat;

¹⁴Unofanira kufara pamutambo wako, iwe, nomwanakomana wako, nomwanasikana wako, nomuranda wako, nomurandakadzi wako, nomuRevhi, nomweni, nenherera, nechirikadzi, vari mukati mamasuwo ako.

¹⁴and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates.

¹⁵Unofanira kutambira Jehovha Mwari wako mutambo mazuva manomwe panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha; nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza pazvibereko zvose zveminda yako, napamabasa ose amaoko ako, kuti ufare kwazvo.

¹⁵Seven days thou dost feast before Jehovah thy God, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, for Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all thine increase, and in every work of thy hands, and thou hast been only rejoicing.

¹⁶Varume venyu vose vanofanira kuuya pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako katatu pagore panzvimbo yaachatsaura, pamutambo wechingwa chisina kuviriswa, napamutambo wamavhiki, napamutambo wamatumba; havafaniri kuuya pamberi paJehovha vasina chinhu.

¹⁶`Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose — in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;

¹⁷Mumwe nomumwe ngaauye nechipo mumaoko ake, sezvaanogona, sezvawakaropafadzwa naJehovha Mwari wako, sezvaakakupa.

¹⁷each according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God, which He hath given to thee.

¹⁸Unofanira kuzvitsaurira vatongi navakuru mukati mamasuwo ako, aunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, namarudzi ako; ivo vanofanira kutonga vanhu nokutonga kwakarurama.

¹⁸`Judges and authorities thou dost make to thee within all thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, for thy tribes; and they have judged the people — a righteous judgment.

¹⁹Usakanganisa pakutonga kwako, usatsaura vanhu, usagamuchira fufuro, nekuti fufuro inopofumadza meso avakangwara, nokuminamisa mashoko avakarurama.

¹⁹Thou dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

²⁰Tevera zvakarurama kwazvo chete, kuti urarame, ugare nhaka yenyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

²⁰Righteousness — righteousness thou dost pursue, so that thou livest, and hast possessed the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

²¹Usazvisimira matanda okunamata nawo, emiti ipi neipi, parutivi rwearitari yaJehovha Mwari wako, yaunofanira kuzviitira.

²¹`Thou dost not plant for thee a shrine of any trees near the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou makest for thyself,

²²Uye usazvimisira shongwe, inovengwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

²²and thou dost not raise up to thee any standing image which Jehovah thy God is hating.
