¹Nguva dzose kana makore manomwe apera munofanira kuva nesununguro.

¹At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.

²Nzira yesununguro ndiyo: Mumwe nomumwe wakapa chikwereti, unofanira kusunungura icho chaakapa hama yake; ngaarege kuchireva kuno wokwake kana hama yake; nekuti sununguro yaJehovha yaparidzwa.

²And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he hath lent unto his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because Jehovah's release hath been proclaimed.

³Ungazvireva kumutorwa; asi zvose zvako zviri paruoko rwehama yako, unofanira kuzvisunungura.

³Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it: but whatsoever of thine is with thy brother thy hand shall release.

⁴Asi usava navarombo pakati pako (nokuti zvirokwazvo, Jehovha uchakuropafadza panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kuti ive nhaka yako),

⁴Howbeit there shall be no poor with thee; (for Jehovah will surely bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it;)

⁵kana uchingoshingaira koga kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, kuti uchenjere kuita murayiro uyu wose, wandinokuraira nhasi.

⁵if only thou diligently hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.

⁶Nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza, sezvaakakupikira; iwe uchapa dzimwe ndudzi zhinji chikwereti, asi iwe usatora chikwereti; iwe uchabata ndudzi zhinji, asi idzo hadzingakubati iwe.Varombo navaranda

⁶For Jehovah thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.

⁷Kana kuno murombo kwauri, mumwe wehama dzako, mukati mamasuwo api naapi panyika yako, yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, usatsungira hama yako murombo, kana kumupfumbatirira ruoko rwako;

⁷If there be with thee a poor man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother;

⁸asi umutambanudzire ruoko rwako kwazvo, umubatsire nechikwereti zvinoringana pakushaiwa kwake, sezvaanokumbira.

⁸but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need [in that] which he wanteth.

⁹Chenjera kuti urege kufunga zvakaipa mumoyo mako, uchiti, Gore rechinomwe, iro gore resununguro, riri pedo, iwe ukava nomufungo wakaipa kuhama yako, ukasamupa chinhu; iye akachema kuna Jehovha Mwari wako pamusoro pako, chikava chivi kwauri.

⁹Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto Jehovah against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

¹⁰Unofanira kumupa zvakanaka, moyo wako haufaniri kuva neshungu, kana uchimupa; nekuti nokuda kwechinhu ichi Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza pamabasa ako ose, napazvose zvaunobata namaoko ako.

¹⁰Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.

¹¹Nekuti varombo havangatongoperi panyika; naizvozvo ndinokuraira ndichiti, Utambanudzire ruoko rwako zvakanaka kuhama yako, kuna iye unoshaiwa, nokuna varombo vako panyika yako.

¹¹For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, and to thy poor, in thy land.

¹²Kana hama yako murume muHebheru kana mukadzi muHebheru achinge atengeswa kwauri, akakubatira makore matanhatu, iwe unofnaira kumurega negore rechinomwe aende hake.

¹²If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.

¹³Zvino kana uchimurega kuti aende hake, usamuendisa asine chinhu.

¹³And when thou lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty:

¹⁴Unofanira kumugoverera zvakanaka pamakwai ako, napaburiro rako, napachisviniro chako chewaini; sezvawakaropafadzwa naJehovha Mwari wako, unofanira kumupa saizvozvo.

¹⁴thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress; as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

¹⁵Unofanira kurangarira iwe kuti wakange uri muranda munyika Jehovha Mwari wako akakudzikunura; naizvozvo ndinokuraira chinhu ichi nhasi.

¹⁵And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to-day.

¹⁶Asi kana akati kwauri, Handidi hangu kubva kwamuri, nekuti unokuda iwe naveimba yako, nekuti unofara hake newe,

¹⁶And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go out from thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee;

¹⁷ipapo unofanira kutora runji ndokuurura nzeve yake narwo pamukova, iye agova muranda wako nokusingaperi:. Uye murandakadzi wako unofanira kumuitirawo saizvozvo.

¹⁷then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise.

¹⁸Hazvifaniri kuita sokukusvibisa moyo wako kana muchimurega kuti aende hake; nekuti wakakubatira makore matanhatu, achifanirwa nomubayiro wavaranda vaviri; Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza pane zvose zvaunoita.

¹⁸It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling hath he served thee six years: and Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.

¹⁹Mikono yose yavana vemhongora dzemombe dzako nedzamakwai ako, unofanira kutsaurira Jehovha Mwari wako; haufaniri kubata basa nomwana wemhongora dzemombe dzako, kana kuveura vana vemhongora dzamakwai ako.

¹⁹All the firstling males that are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy herd, nor shear the firstling of thy flock.

²⁰Unofanira kuzvidya pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako gore rimwe nerimwe panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha, iwe nemhuri yako.

²⁰Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy God year by year in the place which Jehovah shall choose, thou and thy household.

²¹Kana chakaremara, zvimwe chinokuremara kokukamhina, kana upofu, kana kuremara kwakaipa kupi nokupi, haufaniri kuchibayira Jehovha Mwari wako.

²¹And if it have any blemish, [as if it be] lame or blind, any ill blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Jehovah thy God.

²²Unofanira kuchidya mukati mamasuwo ako; wakanaka nousina kunaka vose vanofanira kuchidya, sezvavanodya mhara nenondo.

²²Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.

²³Asi urege kudya ropa racho, unofanira kuriteurira pasi semvura.

²³Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it out upon the ground as water.
