1Zvino Mozisi akadana vaIsiraeri vose, akati kwavari, Inzwai vaIsiraeri, zvakatemwa nezvakatongwa, zvandinotaura nhasi muchizvinzwa, kuti muzvidzidze nokuzvichengeta mugozviita.
1And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, `Hear, Israel, the statutes and the judgments which I am speaking in your ears to-day, and ye have learned them, and have observed to do them.
2Jehovha Mwari wedu wakaita sungano nesu paHorebhu.
2Jehovah our God made with us a covenant in Horeb;
3Jehovha haana kuita sungano iyi namadzibaba edu, asi nesu, isu tose tiri vapenyu nhasi pano.
3not with our fathers hath Jehovah made this covenant, but with us; we — these — here to-day — all of us alive.
4Jehovha akataura nemi, zviso zvakatarisana, ari mukati momoto,
4Face to face hath Jehovah spoken with you, in the mount, out of the midst of the fire;
5(nenguva iyo ini ndakanga ndimire pakati paJehovha nemi, kuti ndikuzivisei shoko raJehovha; nekuti imwi makanga muchitya nokuda komoto, mukasakwira mugomo;) akati,
5I am standing between Jehovah and you, at that time, to declare to you the word of Jehovah, for ye have been afraid from the presence of the fire, and ye have not gone up into the mount; saying:
6Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, wakakubudisa munyika yeEgipita, muimba youranda.
6`I Jehovah [am] thy God, who hath brought thee out from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants.
7Usava navamwe vamwari kunze kwangu.
7`Thou hast no other gods in My presence.
8Usazviitira mufananidzo wakavezwa, kana uri mufananidzo wechinhu chiri kudenga kumusoro, kana wechiri panyika pasi, kana wechiri mumvura pasi penyika.
8`Thou dost not make to thee a graven image, any similitude which [is] in the heavens above, and which [is] in the earth beneath, and which [is] in the waters under the earth;
9Usapfugamira izvozvo, kana kuzvishumira; nekuti ini Jehovha Mwari wako, ndiri Mwari une godo; ndinorova vana nokuda kwezvivi zvamadzibaba avo, kusvikira kurudzi rwechitatu norwechina rwavanondivenga;
9thou dost not bow thyself to them nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on a third [generation], and on a fourth, to those hating Me;
10ndichiitira nyasha vane zviuru zvamazana vanondida, vanochengeta mirairo yangu.
10and doing kindness to thousands, to those loving Me, and to those keeping My commands.
11Usareva zita raJehovha Mwari wako pasina; nekuti Jehovha haangaregi kumupa mhosva unoreva zita rake pasina.
11`Thou dost not take up the Name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah doth not acquit him who taketh up His Name for a vain thing.
12Chengeta zuva resabata, rive dzvene, sezvawakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
12`Observe the day of the sabbath — to sanctify it, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee;
13Ubate basa mazuva matanhatu, uite mabasa ako ose.
13six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,
14Asi zuva rechinomwe isabata raJehovha Mwari wako; usatongobata mabasa naro, iwe, kana mwanakomana wako, kana mwanasikana wako, kana muranda wako, kana murandakadzi wako, kana mombe yako, kana dhongi rako, kana chimwe chezvipfuwo zvako, kana mweni wako uri mukati mamasuwo ako; kuti muranda wako nomurandakadzi wako vazorore sewe.
14and the seventh day [is] a sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates; so that thy man-servant, and thy handmaid doth rest like thyself;
15Unofanira kurangarira kuti newewo waiva muranda panyika Jehovha Mwari wako akakubudisa nechanza chine simba noruoko rwakatambanudzwa; naizvozvo Jehovha Mwari wako wakakuraira kuti uchengete zuva resabata.
15and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God is bringing thee out thence by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm; therefore hath Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the day of the sabbath.
16Kudza baba vako namai vako, sezvawakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wako; kuti mazuva ako ave mazhinji, ufare panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
16`Honour thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee, so that thy days are prolonged, and so that it is well with thee, on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
17Usauraya.
17`Thou dost not murder.
18Uye usaita upombwe.
18`Thou dost not commit adultery.
19Uye usaba.
19`Thou dost not steal.
20Uye usapupurira wokwako nhema.
20`Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour — a false testimony.
21Uye usachiva mukadzi wowokwako; uye usachochora imba yowokwako, kana munda wake, kana muranda wake, kana murandakadzi wake, kana mombe yake, kana mbongoro yake, kana chimwe chinhu chowokwako.
21`Thou dost not desire thy neighbour`s wife; nor dost thou covet thy neighbour`s house, his field, and his man-servant, and his handmaid, his ox, and his ass, and anything which [is] thy neighbour`s.
22Jehovha wakataura mashoko awa ose pagomo kuungano yenyu yose, ari mukati memoto negore, nokusviba kukuru, nenzwi guru; haana kuwedzera mamwe. Akaanyora pamabwendefa maviri amabwe, akandipa iwo.
22`These words hath Jehovah spoken unto all your assembly, in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness — a great voice; and He hath not added, and He writeth them on two tables of stone, and giveth them unto me.
23Zvino imwi makati muchinzwa inzwi richibva mukati merima, negomo richipfuta nomoto, mukaswedera kwandiri, vakuru vose Namarudzi enyu, navakuru venyu,
23`And it cometh to pass as ye hear the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and of the mountain burning with fire, that ye come near unto me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders,
24mukati, Tarirai, Jehovha Mwari wedu watiratidza kubwinya kwake noukuru hwake, tikanzwa inzwi rake richibva mumoto; taona hedu nhasi kuti Mwari ungataura nomunhu, akararama hake.
24and say, Lo, Jehovah our God hath shewed us His honour, and His greatness; and His voice we have heard out of the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God doth speak with man — and he hath lived.
25Naizvozvo zvino tichafireiko? Nekuti moto uyu mukuru uchatiparadza, kana tikaramba tichinzwa inzwi raJehovha Mwari wedu tichafa.
25`And, now, why do we die? for consume us doth this great fire — if we add to hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more — then we have died.
26Nekuti ndianiko pakati pavanhu vose wakanzwa inzwi raMwari mupenyu achitaura ari mumoto, sesu, akararama here?
26For who of all flesh [is] he who hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire like us — and doth live?
27Swedera hako iwe, unzwe zvose zvicharehwa naJehovha Mwari wedu, ugozotiudza zvose zvauchaudzwa iwe naJehovha Mwari wedu; tichazvinzwa, nokuzviita.
27Draw near thou, and hear all that which Jehovah our God saith, and thou, thou dost speak unto us all that which Jehovah our God speaketh unto thee, and we have hearkened, and done it.
28Zvino Jehovha akanzwa inzwi ramashoko enyu, nguva yamakataura neni; Jehovha akati kwandiri, Ndanzwa inzwi ramashoko avanhu ava, avakataura newe; zvose zvavakareva vakataura havo zvakanaka.
28`And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, in your speaking unto me, and Jehovah saith unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee; they have done well [in] all that they have spoken.
29Dai vaiva nemoyo yakadai, vakanditya nokuchengeta mirairo yangu nguva dzose, kuti zvive zvakanaka navo, ivo navana vavo, nokusingaperi!
29O that their heart had been thus to them, to fear Me, and to keep My commands all the days, that it may be well with them, and with their sons — to the age!
30Enda, undoti kwavari, Dzokerai kumatende enyu.
30`Go, say to them, Turn back for yourselves, to your tents;
31Asi iwe, mira pano kwandiri, ndikuudze murayiro wose, nezvakatemwa, nezvakatongwa, zvaunofanira kuvadzidzisa, kuti vazviite panyika yandinovapa, kuti ive yavo.
31and thou here stand thou with Me, and let Me speak unto thee all the command, and the statutes, and the judgments which thou dost teach them, and they have done in the land which I am giving to them to possess it.
32Naizvozvo chenjerai, kuti muite sezvamakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu; musatsaukira kurutivi rworudyi kana rworuboshwe.
32`And ye have observed to do as Jehovah your God hath commanded you, ye turn not aside — right or left;
33Munofanira kufamba nenzira yose yamakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu, kuti murarame, zvive zvakanaka nemi, namazuva enyu ave mazhinji panyika iyo, ichava yenyu.
33in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you ye walk, so that ye live, and [it is] well with you, and ye have prolonged days in the land which ye possess.
