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

¹`All the command which I am commanding thee to-day ye observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to 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 hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which [is] in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not.

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.

³`And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live.

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

⁴`Thy raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot hath not swelled these forty years,

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

⁵and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee,

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

⁶and thou hast kept the commands of Jehovah 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;

⁷`For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain:

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

⁸a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;

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

⁹a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;

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

¹⁰and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to thee.

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

¹¹`Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day;

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

¹²lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited;

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

¹³and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied:

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

¹⁴`And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

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

¹⁵who is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible wilderness — burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst — where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters from the flinty rock;

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

¹⁶who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end),

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

¹⁷and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth:

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

¹⁸`And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it [is] who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as [at] this day.

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

¹⁹`And it hath been — if thou really forget Jehovah thy God, and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do utterly perish;

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

²⁰as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.
