¹Munhu wakakuvadzwa manhu ake kana chirema chake haafaniri kupinda paungano yaJehovha.

¹He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.

²Mwana woupombwe haafaniri kupinda paungano yaJehovha; kunyange kusvikira parudzi rwegumi vana vake havafaniri kupinda paungano yaJehovha.

²A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of Jehovah.

³MuAmoni nomuMoabhu havafaniri kupinda paungano yaJehovha; kunyange kusvikira parudzi rwegumi mumwe wokwavo haafaniri kupinda paungano yaJehovha nokusingaperi;

³An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of Jehovah for ever:

⁴nekuti havana kundokuchingurai nezvokudya nemvura panzira, nguva yamakabuda Egipita; uye nekuti vakatsvaka kuripira Bharamu, mwanakomana waBheori, wePetori, paMesopotamia, kuti akutuke.

⁴because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

⁵Asi Jehovha Mwari wako wakange asingadi kuteerera Bharamu, asi Jehovha Mwari wako wakashandura kutuka akakuropafadza, nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako wakakuda.

⁵Nevertheless Jehovah thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but Jehovah thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.

⁶Haufaniri kuvatsvakira rugare kana mufaro, mazuva ako ose nokusingaperi.

⁶Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.

⁷Haufaniri kusema muEdhomu, nekuti ihama yako; haufaniri kusema muEgipita, nekuti wakange uri mutorwa iwe panyika yake.

⁷Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian, because thou wast a sojourner in his land.

⁸Vana vavo vavanoberekerwa parudzi rwechitatu, vangapinda paungano yaJehovha.

⁸The children of the third generation that are born unto them shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah.

⁹Kana uchindorwa navavengi vako, unofanira kuzvichengeta pazvinhu zvose zvakaipa.

⁹When thou goest forth in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing.

¹⁰Kana kuno mumwe pakati penyu usina kunaka nokuda kwezvakamuwira usiku, unofanira kubuda kunze kwemisasa, ngaarege kupinda pamisasa;

¹⁰If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that which chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:

¹¹zvino kana ava madekwana, unofanira kuzvishambidza nemvura; kana zuva ravira ungapinda hake pamisasa.

¹¹but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.

¹²Iwe unofanira kuva nenzvimbo kunze kwemisasa kwaungaenda.

¹²Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:

¹³Unofanira kuva nechirayawo pakati penhumbi dzako dzokurwa nadzo; zvino kana woenda kunze, unofanira kuchera nacho, ndokuzofusira zvinobva kwauri;

¹³and thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

¹⁴nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako unofamba pakati pemisasa yako, kuti akurwire, nokuisa vavengi vako mumaoko ako; naizvozvo misasa yako inofanira kuva mitsvene, kuti arege kuona chinhu chakaipa pakati penyu, akufuratire.

¹⁴for Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

¹⁵Usadzosera muranda kuna tenzi wake, wakatizira kwauri, achibva kuna tenzi wake;

¹⁵Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a servant that is escaped from his master unto thee:

¹⁶anofanira kugara newe, pakati pako, paanotsaura hake pakati perimwe ramasuwo ako paanofarira; haufaniri kumumanikidza.

¹⁶he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it pleaseth him best: thou shalt not oppress him.

¹⁷Hapafaniri kuva nechifeve pakati pavanasikana vaIsiraeri; uye hapafaniri kuva nemhombwe pakati pavanakomana vaIsiraeri.

¹⁷There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

¹⁸Haufaniri kuuya nomubayiro wechifeve, kana mutengo wembwa, muimba yaJehovha Mwari wako, kuti upike nawo; nekuti izvo zviviri zvose zvinonyangadza Jehovha Mwari wako.

¹⁸Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.

¹⁹Usapa hama yako chikwereti, uchireva mhindu, iri mhindu yemari, kana yezvokudya, kana yechinhu chipi nechipi chinopiwa chichireva mhindu.

¹⁹Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that is lent upon interest:

²⁰Mutorwa ungamupa chikwereti, uchireva mhindu; asi haufaniri kupa hama yako chikwereti, uchireva mhindu; kuti Jehovha Mwari wako akuropafadze pazvose zvaunobata namaoko ako, panyika yaunoenda kuti ive yenyu.

²⁰unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.

²¹Kana ukapikira Jehovha Mwari wako mhiko, usanonoka kuiripa; nekuti zvirokwazvo, Jehovha Mwari wako uchaibvunza kwauri; zvingava zvivi kwauri.

²¹When thou shalt vow a vow unto Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it: for Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

²²Asi kana ukarega hako kupika, hazvingavi zvivi kwauri.

²²But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.

²³Uchenjere kuti uite sezvawakataura; sezvawapikira Jehovha Mwari wako, chiri chipo chokuda kwako, chawakapikira nomuromo wako.

²³That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto Jehovah thy God, a freewill-offering, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.

²⁴Kana ukapinda mumunda wemizambiringa wowokwako, ungadya mazambiringa sezvaunoda, ugute; asi haufaniri kuisa mamwe mumudziyo wako.

²⁴When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou mayest eat of grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.

²⁵Kana ukapinda muzviyo zvowokwako zvigere kukohwewa, ungavhuna hako hura noruoko rwako; asi haufaniri kukohwa zviyo zvowokwako nejeko.

²⁵When thou comest into thy neighbor's standing grain, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbor's standing grain.
