¹Musazviitira zvifananidzo, kana kuzvimutsira mufananidzo wakavezwa kana shongwe yebwe; musaisa ibwe rinomufananidzo munyika yenyu kuti mupfugamirepo, nekuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

¹`Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] Jehovah your God.

²Munofanira kuchengeta masabata angu, nokukudza imba yangu tsvene; ndini Jehovha.

²`My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.

³Kana muchifamba nemitemo yangu, nokuchengeta mirairo yangu, muchiiita;

³`If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done them,

⁴ini ndichakunisirai mvura nenguva yayo, nenyika ichabereka zvibereko zvayo, nemiti yesango ichabereka zvibereko zvayo.

⁴then I have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its fruit;

⁵Kupura kwenyu kuchasvika pakukohwa mazambiringa, nokukohwa mazambiringa kuchasvika panguva yokudzvara; muchadya zvokudya zvenyu mukaguta, nokugara munyika yenyu makachengeteka.

⁵and reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing-[time]; and ye have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.

⁶Ndichakupai rugare panyika, kuti muvate pasi musingavhunduswi nomunhu; zvikara ndichazvipedza panyika, nomunondo haungapfuuri nomunyika yenyu,

⁶`And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.

⁷muchadzinga vavengi venyu, vakaparadzwa nomunondo pamberi penyu.

⁷`And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;

⁸Vashanu venyu vachadzinga vane zana, navane zana venyu vachadzinga vane zviuru zvine gumi, vavengi venyu vachaparadzwa nomunondo pamberi penyu.

⁸and five of you have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.

⁹Ini ndichakurangarirai, ndichakuberekesai nokukuwanzai; ndichasimbisa sungano yangu nemi.

⁹`And I have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

¹⁰Muchadya zviyo zvakachengetwa nguva huru, muchafanira kubudisa zvekare kudziurira zvitsva.

¹⁰and ye have eaten old [store], and the old because of the new ye bring out.

¹¹Ndichagadza tabhenakeri yangu pakati penyu; mweya wangu haungakusemiyi.

¹¹`And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;

¹²Uye ndichafamba pakati penyu, ndive Mwari wenyu, nemwi muchava vanhu vangu.

¹²and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye — ye are become My people;

¹³Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, wakakubudisai munyika yeEgipita, kuti murege kuva vatapwa vavo; ndakavhuna matanda ejoko renyu, ndikakufambisai makati tasa.

¹³I [am] Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.

¹⁴Asi kana musingadi kunditeerera, musingadi kuita mirairo iyi yose;

¹⁴`And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;

¹⁵kana muchiramba mitemo yangu, kana mweya yenyu ichisema zvandakatonga, kuti murege kuda kuita mirairo yangu yose, asi muchiputsa sungano yangu,

¹⁵and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands — to your breaking My covenant —

¹⁶neniwo ndichakuitirai izvi: Ndichauyisa zvinotyisa pamusoro penyu, hosha yorukosoro nefivhiri zvichaparadza meso nokuwondisa mweya yenyu; muchadzvara mbeu yenyu pasina, nekuti vavengi venyu vachazvidya.

¹⁶I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten it;

¹⁷Ndichakutongai kuti mukundwe pamberi pavavengi venyu, vanokuvengai vachava vabati venyu; muchatiza kunyange kusina munhu unokudzingai.

¹⁷and I have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.

¹⁸Zvino kunyange zvakadaro kana musingadi kunditeerera, ndichawedzera kukurovai kanomwe pamusoro pezvivi zvenyu.

¹⁸`And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, — then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;

¹⁹Ndichaputsa kuzvikudza kwenyu pamusoro pesimba renyu, denga renyu ndichariita sesimbi, nenyika yenyu sendarira;

¹⁹and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass;

²⁰simba renyu richaperera pasina, nekuti nyika yenyu haingabereki zvibereko zvayo, nemiti yenyika haingabereki zvibereko zvayo.

²⁰and consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give its fruit.

²¹Kana muchindiramba, musingadi kunditeerera, ndichawedzera kanomwe matambudziko pamusoro pezvivi zvenyu.

²¹`And if ye walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to your sins,

²²Ndichatuma zvikara zvesango pakati penyu, zvichakupedzerai vana venyu, nokuparadza zvipfuwo zvenyu, nokukutapudzai; nzira dzenyu dzichashaiwa vanhu.

²²and sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.

²³Zvino kana musingadi kudzorwa neni nezvinhu izvi, asi muchindiramba,

²³`And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,

²⁴neniwo ndichakurambai; neniwo, ini ndimene, ndichakurovai kanomwe pamusoro pezvivi zvenyu.

²⁴then I have walked — I also — with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins;

²⁵Ndichauyisa munondo pamusoro penyu, uchatsiva sungano yangu; muchaunganidzwa mumaguta enyu, ini ndichatuma matenda pakati penyu; muchaiswa mumaoko avavengi venyu.

²⁵and I have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an enemy.

²⁶Kana ndichivhuna mudonzvo wenyu wechingwa, vakadzi vane gumi vachabika chingwa muchoto chimwe, vachikudzoserai chingwa chenyu chayerwa; muchadya, asi hamungaguti.

²⁶`In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.

²⁷Zvino kana musingadi naizvozvo zvose kunditeerera, asi muchindiramba,

²⁷`And if for this ye hearken not to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,

²⁸ipapo neniwo ndichakurambai nokutsamwa kukuru; ndichakurovai kanomwe pamusoro pezvivi zvenyu.

²⁸then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.

²⁹Muchadya nyama yavanakomana venyu, nenyama yavanasikana venyu muchaidya.

²⁹`And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of your daughters ye do eat.

³⁰Ndichaparadza nzvimbo dzenyu dzakakwirira, nokuputsa mifananidzo yenyu yezuva, nokukanda zvitunha zvenyu pamusoro pezvitunha zvezvifananidzo zvenyu; mweya wangu uchakusemai.

³⁰And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and My soul hath loathed you;

³¹Ndichaita maguta enyu matongo, nenzvimbo dzenyu tsene ndichadziparadza handinganhuwidzi munhuwi wezvinozipa zvenyu.

³¹and I have made your cities a waste, and have made desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet fragrances;

³²Ndichaparadza nyika yenyu; vavengi venyu vachagaramo, vachashamiswa nazvo.

³²and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who are dwelling in it, have been astonished at it.

³³Ndichakurashanyai pakati pavahedheni, nokuvhomora munondo shure kwenyu; nyika yenyu ichava renje, maguta enyu achava matongo.

³³And you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are a waste.

³⁴Zvino nyika ichafarira masabata ayo, panguva yokuparadzwa kwayo, imwi muri munyika yavavengi venyu; panguva iyo nyika ichazorora, ichifarira masabata ayo.

³⁴`Then doth the land enjoy its sabbaths — all the days of the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies — then doth the land rest, and hath enjoyed its sabbaths;

³⁵Panguva yose yokuparadzwa kwayo ichazorora nokuzorora kwayakashaiwa pamasabata enyu, panguva yamakagaramo.

³⁵all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it.

³⁶Kana vari vamwe venyu vakasara, ndichatuma kutya pamoyo yavo vari munyika yavavengi vavo; kana vachinzwa shizha richipepereka, vachatiza; vachatiza somunhu unotiza munondo, vachawa kunyange kusina munhu unovadzinga.

³⁶`And those who are left of you — I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away hath pursued them, and they have fled — flight from a sword — and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.

³⁷Vachawirana savanhu vanowa pamberi pomunondo, kusina munhu anovadzinga; hamungavi nesimba rokumira pamberi pavavengi venyu.

³⁷And they have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,

³⁸Muchandofira pakati pavahedheni, nenyika yavavengi venyu ichakudyai.

³⁸and ye have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies hath consumed you.

³⁹Vamwe venyu vakasara vachawonda muzvivi zvavo panyika yavavengi vavo; vachawonda samadzibaba avo akawonda muzvivi zvavo.

³⁹`And those who are left of you — they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away.

⁴⁰Zvino vachazvireurura zvivi zvavo nezvivi zvamadzibaba avo, nokudarika kwavakadarika nako kwandiri, uye zvavakandiramba,

⁴⁰`And — they have confessed their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me, in opposition,

⁴¹neniwo ndakavaramba, ndikavaisa kunyika yavavengi vavo; zvino kana moyo yavo isina kudzingiswa ikazvininipisa, vakatenda kurohwa pamusoro pezvivi zvavo;

⁴¹also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies — or then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity, —

⁴²ipapo ndicharangarira sungano yangu naJakove; nesungano yangu naIsaka, nesungano yangu naAbhurahamu, ndichairangarira; nyika ndichairangarirawo.

⁴²then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and the land I remember.

⁴³Nyika ichafanira kusiiwa navo, kuti ifarire masabata ayo ichaparadzwa ivo vasipo; vacharohwa pamusoro pezvivi zvavo, nekuti vakaramba zvandakanga ndatonga, mweya yavo ikasema mitemo yangu.

⁴³`And — the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul loathed,

⁴⁴Kunyange zvakadaro, kana vari munyika yavavengi vavo, handingavarashi, handigavasemi, ndivaparadze chose, nokuputsa sungano yangu navo; nekuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo;

⁴⁴and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] Jehovah their God; —

⁴⁵asi nokuda kwavo ndicharangarira sungano yangu namadziteteguru avo, vandakabudisa munyika yeEgipita pamberi pavahedheni, kuti ndive Mwari wavo; ndini Jehovha.

⁴⁵then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] Jehovah.`

⁴⁶Ndiyo mitemo nezvakatongwa nemirairo yakaitwa naJehovha pakati pake navana vaIsiraeri pagomo reSinai nomuromo waMozisi.

⁴⁶These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which Jehovah hath given between Him and the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
