¹Vapristi vaRevhi, norudzi rwose rwaRevhi, havafaniri kuva nomugove kana nhaka pamwechete naIsiraeri, vanofanira kudya zvipiriso zvaJehovha zvinopiswa nenhaka yake.

¹The priests the Levites, [even] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and his inheritance.

²Havafaniri kuva nenhaka pakati pehama dzavo; Jehovha ndiye nhaka yavo, sezvaakataura kwavari.

²And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren: Jehovah is their inheritance, as he hath spoken unto them.

³Zvino ndizvo zvinofanira kupiwa vapristi navanhu, naivo vanouya nechibayiro, kana iri nzombe kana gwai; vanofanira kupa mupristi bandauko, neshayambiri, nesusu.

³And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

⁴Zvitsva zvezviyo zvako, nezvewaini yako, nezvamafuta ako, nemvere dzokutanga dzamakwai ako, ndizvo zvaunofanira kuvapa.

⁴The first-fruits of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.

⁵nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako wakamutsaura iye pakati pamarudzi ako ose, kuti amire achishumira nezita raJehovha, iye, navanakomana vake nokusingaperi.

⁵For Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Jehovah, him and his sons for ever.

⁶Zvino kana muRevhi akabva kune rimwe ramasuwo ako muIsiraeri mose, kwaagere, akauya nomoyo wake kunzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha,

⁶And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah shall choose;

⁷iye anofanira kubata basa nezita raJehovha Mwari wake, sezvinoita hama dzake dzose vaRevhi dzinomirapo pamberi paJehovha.

⁷then he shall minister in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before Jehovah.

⁸Vanofanira kupiwa migove yakaenzana yezvokudya, kunze kwezvaakawana pakutengesa nhaka yamadzibaba ake.Havafaniri kutevera tsika dzavahedheni

⁸They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

⁹Zvino kana wasvika munyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, usadzidza kutevera zvinonyangadza zvendudzi idzo.

⁹When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

¹⁰Pakati pako hapafaniri kuwanikwa munhu unopinza mwanakomana wake kana mwanasikana wake mumoto, kana unouka, kana unotenda mashura, kana unoita mazango, kana muroyi,

¹⁰There shall not be found with thee any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, one that practiseth augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,

¹¹kana n'anga, kana unobvunza masvikiro, kana muuki, kana unobvunza vakafa.

¹¹or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

¹²Nekuti vose vanoita zvinhu izvi vanonyangadza Jehovha; nokuda kwezvinonyangadza izvi Jehovha Mwari wako unovadzinga pamberi pako.

¹²For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto Jehovah: and because of these abominations Jehovah thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

¹³Unofanira kuva wakarurama pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako.

¹³Thou shalt be perfect with Jehovah thy God.

¹⁴Nekuti ndudzi idzi dzamunopiwa dzive dzenyu, dzinoteerera vanotenda mashura navanouka; asi iwe Jehovha Mwari wako haana kukutendera kuita izvozvo.

¹⁴For these nations, that thou shalt dispossess, hearken unto them that practise augury, and unto diviners; but as for thee, Jehovah thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

¹⁵Jehovha Mwari wako uchakumutsira muporofita, unobva pakati pako, pahama dzako, wakafanana neni; unofanira kumuteerera iye;

¹⁵Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

¹⁶sezvawakakumbira kuna Jehovha Mwari wako paHorebhu nomusi weungano, uchiti,

¹⁶according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

¹⁷Jehovha akati kwandiri, Zvose zvavakareva, vakataura havo zvakanaka.

¹⁷And Jehovah said unto me, They have well said that which they have spoken.

¹⁸Ndichavamutsira muporofita, unobva pakati pehama dzavo, wakafanana newe; ndichaisa mashoko angu mumuromo make, iye uchavaudza zvose zvandinomuraira.

¹⁸I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

¹⁹Zvino munhu upi noupi usingatereri mashoko angu, aachataura muzita rangu, ndichamubvunza pamusoro paizvozvo.

¹⁹And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

²⁰Asi muporofita unotaura shoko muzita rangu achizvikudza, riri shoko randisina kumuraira kuti aritaure, kana zvimwe unotaura muzita ravamwe vamwari, muporofita uyo anofanira kufa.

²⁰But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.

²¹Zvino kana iwe ukati mumoyo mako, Ko tichaziva seiko shoko risina kutaurwa naJehovha?

²¹And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken?

²²Kana muporofita achinge ataura muzita raJehovha, chinhu icho chikasaitika, chikasavapo, ndicho chinhu chisina kutaurwa naJehovha; muporofita wakaritaura achizvikudza, haufaniri kumutya.

²²when a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah hath not spoken: the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.
