¹Zvino Mwari akataura mashoko awa ose, akati,

¹`And God speaketh all these words, saying,

²Ndini Jehovha, Mwari wako, akakubvisa munyika yeEgipita, muimba yeuranda.

²I [am] Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.

³Usava nevamwe vamwari kunze kwangu.

³`Thou hast no other Gods before Me.

⁴Usazviitira mufananidzo wakavezwa, kana uri mufananidzo wechinhu chiri kudenga kumusoro, kana wechiri panyika pasi, kana wechiri mumvura pasi penyika.

⁴`Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters 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 dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third [generation], and on the fourth, of those hating Me,

⁶ndichaitira nyasha vane zviuru zvamazana vanondida, vanochengeta mirairo yangu.b

⁶and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.

⁷Usareva zita raJehovha Mwari wako pasina; nekuti Jehovha haangaregi kupa mhosva anoreva zita rake pasina.

⁷`Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.

⁸Rangarira zuva resabata, kuti urichengete rive dzvene.

⁸`Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;

⁹Ubate mazuva matanhatu, uite mabasa ako ose;

⁹six days thou dost labour, and hast done 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,

¹⁰and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who 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 six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.

¹²Kudza baba vako namai vako, kuti mazuva ako ave mazhinji panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

¹²`Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

¹³Usauraya.

¹³`Thou dost not murder.

¹⁴Usaita upombwe.

¹⁴`Thou dost not commit adultery.

¹⁵Usaba.

¹⁵`Thou dost not steal.

¹⁶Usapupurira wokwako nhema.

¹⁶`Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.

¹⁷Usachiva imba yowokwako, usachiva mukadzi wowokwako, kana muranda wake, kana murandakadzi wake, kana nzombe yake, kana dhongi rake, kana chimwe chowokwako.

¹⁷`Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which [is] thy neighbour`s.`

¹⁸Vanhu vose vakaona kutinhira, nemheni, nenzwi rehwamanda, negomo rinopfungaira, zvino vanhu vakati vachiona izvozvo, vakadedera vakamira kure.

¹⁸And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand afar off,

¹⁹Vakati kuna Mozisi, imwi chitaurai henyu nesu, tinzwe; asi Mwari ngaarege kutaura nesu, tirege kufa.

¹⁹and say unto Moses, `Speak thou with us, and we hear, and 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 saith unto the people, `Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order 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 stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God [is].

²²Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Iti kuvana vaIsiraeri, imwi makaona mumene kuti ndakataura nemwi ndiri kudenga.

²²And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye — ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;

²³Musaita vamwe vamwari pamwechete neni; musazviitira vamwari vesirivha kana vamwari vendarama.

²³ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.

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.

²⁴`An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee.

²⁵Zvino kana uchindivakira aritari yamabwe, urege kuivaka namabwe akavezwa, nekuti kana ukasimudzira mbezo yako pamusoro pebwe, warisvibisa.

²⁵`And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute it;

²⁶Rega kukwirawo kuaritari yangu nezvikwiriso, kuti kunyasi kwako kurege kufukurwa kwairi.

²⁶neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.
