¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²Taura neungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, uti kwavari, Ivai vatsvene, nekuti ini Jehovha Mwari wenyu ndiri mutsvene.

²`Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy [am] I, Jehovah, your God.

³Mumwe nomumwe wenyu anofanira kutya mai vake nababa vake, uye munofanira kuchengeta masabata angu; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

³`Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I [am] Jehovah your God.

⁴Musava nehanya nezvifananidzo, kana kuzviitira vamwari vakaumbwa; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

⁴`Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I [am] Jehovah your God.

⁵Kana muchipa Jehovha chibayiro chezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, munofanira

⁵`And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;

⁶Chinofanira kudyiwa nomusi wamunochipa nawo, uye nomusi unotevera; kana zvimwe zvikasara kusvikira pazuva retatu, zvinofanira kupiswa nomoto.

⁶in the day of your sacrificing it is eaten, and on the morrow, and that which is left unto the third day with fire is burnt,

⁷Kana chikatongodyiwa nezuva retatu, zvinonyangadza; hachigamuchirwi.

⁷and if it be really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,

⁸Asi mumwe nomumwe unochidya, uchava nemhosva, nekuti wamhura chinhu chitsvene chaJehovha; munhu uyu anofanira kubviswa pakati porudzi rwake.

⁸and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.

⁹Kana muchikohwa gohwo reminda yenyu, rega kukohwa micheto yomunda wako, uye usaunganidza zvawira pasi pakukohwa kwako.

⁹`And in your reaping the harvest of your land ye do not completely reap the corner of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather,

¹⁰Usakohwa zvose pamunda wako wemizambiringa, uye usaunganidza michero yawira pasi yomunda wako wemizambiringa; unofanira kuzvisiira varombo navaeni; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

¹⁰and thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I [am] Jehovah your God.

¹¹Musaba; kana kunyengera, musareva nhema mumwe kune mumwe.

¹¹`Ye do not steal, nor feign, nor lie one against his fellow.

¹²Musapika nhema nezita rangu, kuti usasvibisa zita raMwari wako; ndini Jehovha.

¹²`And ye do not swear by My name to falsehood, or thou hast polluted the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

¹³Usamanikidza wokwako, kana kumutorera; haufaniri kugara usiku hwose kusvikira mangwana nomubayiro womuranda unokubatira.

¹³`Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder; the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till morning.

¹⁴Usatuka matsi, kana kupinganidza bofu, asi unofanira kutya Mwari wako; ndini Jehovha.

¹⁴`Thou dost not revile the deaf; and before the blind thou dost not put a stumbling block; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁵Musaita zvisakarurama pakutonga; usatsaura murombo, kana kukudza une simba; asi unofanira kutonga wokwako nokururama.

¹⁵`Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.

¹⁶Usafamba-famba pakati pavanhu vokwako, uchivachera; usapupurira ropa rowokwako; ndini Jehovha.

¹⁶`Thou dost not go slandering among thy people; thou dost not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁷Usavenga hama yako mumoyo mako; unofanira kuraira wokwako kwazvo, kuti urege kuva nezvivi nokuda kwake.

¹⁷`Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on him.

¹⁸Usatsiva, kana kugara wakatsamwira vana vavanhu vokwako, asi unofanira kuda wokwako sezvaunozvida iwe; ndini Jehovha.

¹⁸`Thou dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I [am] Jehovah.

¹⁹Chengetai mitemo yangu. Usaberekesa zvipfuwo zvako norumwe rudzi; usadzvara mbeu dzamarudzi maviri mumunda mako; usafuka nguvo yakarukwa nezvinhu zvamarudzi maviri.

¹⁹`My statutes ye do keep: thy cattle thou dost not cause to gender [with] diverse kinds; thy field thou dost not sow with diverse kinds, and a garment of diverse kinds, shaatnez, doth not go up upon thee.

²⁰Ani naani unovata nomukadzi ari murandakadzi, wakanyengwa nomurume, asina kudzikunurwa kwazvo, kana kusunungurwa, vanofanira kurohwa; asi havafaniri kuurawa, nekuti wakange asina kusunungurwa.

²⁰`And when a man lieth with a woman with seed of copulation, and she a maid-servant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom hath not been given to her, an investigation there is; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.

²¹Ngaauye nechipiriso chemhosva kuna Jehovha pamukova wetende rokusangana, rive gondobwe rechipiriso chemhosva.

²¹`And he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering,

²²Zvino mupristi anofanira kumuyananisira negondobwe rechipiriso chemhosva pamberi paJehovha pamusoro pezvivi zvake zvaakatadza; ipapo uchakangamwirwa zvivi zvake zvaakatadza.

²²and the priest hath made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before Jehovah, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him because of his sin which he hath sinned.

²³Kana muchisvika munyika, mukasima miti yamarudzi ose anodyiwa, munofanira kutora michero yayo sechinhu chisina kudzingiswa; makore matatu ichava kwamuri seisina kudzingiswa; haifaniri kudyiwa.

²³`And when ye come in unto the land, and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then ye have reckoned as uncircumcised its fruit, three years it is to you uncircumcised, it is not eaten,

²⁴Asi negore rechina michero yayo yose ichava mitsvene, kuti murumbidze Jehovha nazvo.

²⁴and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy — praises for Jehovah.

²⁵Negore rechishanu mungadya michero yayo; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

²⁵And in the fifth year ye do eat its fruit — to add to you its increase; I [am] Jehovah your God.

²⁶Musadya chinhu chine ropa racho; musaita mazango, kana kutenda mashura.

²⁶`Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor observe clouds.

²⁷Musaveura misoro yenyu muchiita matendeure, uye musashatisa nhivi dzendebvu dzenyu.

²⁷`Ye do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of thy beard.

²⁸Musazvicheka miviri yenyu nokuda kwavakafa, kana kuzvitema nyora; ndini Jehovha.

²⁸`And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I [am] Jehovah.

²⁹Usaisa mwanasikana wako, uchimuita chifeve; kuti nyika irege kupata, nyika izare nezvakaipa.

²⁹`Thou dost not pollute thy daughter to cause her to go a-whoring, that the land go not a-whoring, and the land hath been full of wickedness.

³⁰Chengetai masabata angu, nokutya imba yangu tsvene; ndini Jehovha.

³⁰`My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.

³¹Musava nehanya namasvikiro, kana musvibiswe navo; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

³¹`Ye do not turn unto those having familiar spirits; and unto wizards ye do not seek, for uncleanness by them; I [am] Jehovah your God.

³²Unofanira kusimukira wachena vhudzi, nokukudza mutana, uye utye Mwari wako; ndini Jehovha.

³²`At the presence of grey hairs thou dost rise up, and thou hast honoured the presence of an old man, and hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

³³Kana mutorwa agere newe panyika yenyu, usamuitira zvakaipa.

³³`And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee in your land, thou dost not oppress him;

³⁴Mutorwa ugere nemwi ngaave kwamuri somunhu wakaberekerwa pakati penyu, unofanira kumuda sezvaunozvida iwe, nekuti nemiwo makanga muri vatorwa munyika yeEgipita; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

³⁴as a native among you is the sojourner to you who is sojourning with you, and thou hast had love to him as to thyself, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt; I [am] Jehovah your God.

³⁵Musaita zvisina kururama pakutonga, kana pakuyera nechitanda, kana pakuyera kurema, kana pachiyero.

³⁵`Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure;

³⁶Ivai nezviyero zvakarurama, nezvokuenzanisa nazvo zvakarurama, neefa yakarurama, nehini yakarurama; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu wakakubudisai munyikayeEgipita

³⁶righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

³⁷Chengetai mitemo yangu yose, nezvandakatonga zvose, kuti muzviite; ndini Jehovha.

³⁷and ye have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah.`
