¹Zvino kana wapinda panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kuti ive nhaka yako, ikava yako, ukagaramo;

¹And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein,

²unofanira kutora zvitsva zvezvibereko zvose zvenyika, zvaunowana panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, ndokuzviisa mudengu, ndokuenda nazvo kunzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kuti agarisepo zita rake.

²that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

³Zvino uende kumupristi uchavapo pamazuva iwayo, uti kwaari, Ndinoreva pachena nhasi pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako, kuti ndasvika panyika yakapikirwa madzibaba edu naJehovha, kuti uchatipa iyo.

³And thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God, that I am come unto the land which Jehovah sware unto our fathers to give us.

⁴Ipapo mupristi anofanira kutora dengu paruoko rwako, ndokurigadza pamberi pearitari yaJehovha Mwati. wako.

⁴And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God.

⁵iwe ugopupura, uchiti pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako, Baba vangu vakanga vari muArameya, mufambi wakange oda kuparara, akaburukira Egipita, akagarapo, ana vanhu vashoma havo; vakaitwapo rudzi rukuru, runesimba, runa vanhu vazhinji.

⁵And thou shalt answer and say before Jehovah thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

⁶VaEgipita vakatiitira zvakaipa, nokutitambudza, vakatibatisa mabasa anorema.

⁶And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

⁷Ipapo takadana kuna Jehovha Mwari wamadzibaba edu, Jehovha akanzwa inzwi redu, akaona kutambudzika kwedu;

⁷and we cried unto Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;

⁸Jehovha akatibudisa paEgipita neruoko rune simba, noruoko rwakatambanudzwa, nezvinotyisa, nezviratidzo, nezvishamiso;

⁸and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders;

⁹akatisvitsa panzvimbo ino, akatipa nyika ino, nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi.

⁹and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰Zvino tarira, ndauya nezvitsva zvezvibereko zvenyika yamakandipa, imwi Jehovha. Ipapo unofanira kuzviisa pasi pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako; ndokunamata pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako.

¹⁰And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God:

¹¹Unofanira kufarira zvose zvakanaka, zvaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, iwe, naveimba yako, nomuRevhi, nomutorwa uri pakati pako.

¹¹and thou shalt rejoice in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner that is in the midst of thee.

¹²Zvino kana wapedza kutsaura zvegumi zvezvibereko zvako zvose negore rechitatu, nekuti ndiro gore rokutsaura zvegumi, unofanira kuzvipa muRevhi, nomutorwa, nenherera, nechirikadzi, kuti vadye mukati mamasuwo ako, vagute.

¹²When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shalt give it unto the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled.

¹³Ipapo iwe unofanira kutaura pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako, uchiti, Ndabvisa mumba mangu zvinhu zvakatsaurwa, ndikazvipa muRevhi, nomutorwa, nenherera, nechirikadzi, zvose sezvamakandiraira; handina kudarika mumwe wemirairo yenyu, kana kuikangamwa.

¹³And thou shalt say before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

¹⁴Handina kuzvidya pakuchema kwangu, kana kuviga zvimwe zvazvo, ndisina kunaka, kana kupa vakafa zvimwe zvazvo; ndakateerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wangu, ndikaita zvose zvamakandiraira.

¹⁴I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I put away thereof, being unclean, nor given thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

¹⁵Dotarirai muri paugaro bwenyu hutsvene, pakudenga, muropafadze vanhu venyu Isiraeri, nenyika yamakatipa, sezvamakapikira madzibaba edu, nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi.

¹⁵Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the ground which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁶Nhasi Jehovha Mwari wako unokuraira kuti uite izvi zvakatemwa nezvakatongwa, naizvozvo unofanira kuzvichengeta nokuzviita nomoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose.

¹⁶This day Jehovah thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

¹⁷Wapikisa Jehovha nhasi kuti ave Mwari wako, newe kuti unofanira kufamba munzira dzake, nokuchengeta zvaakatema, nemirairo yake, nezvaakatonga, uye kuti uchateerera inzwi rake.

¹⁷Thou hast avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and that thou wouldest walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken unto his voice:

¹⁸NaJehovha wakakupikisa iwe kuti uchava rudzi rwake chairwo, sezvaakakupikira, uye kuti uchachengeta mirairo yake yose;

¹⁸and Jehovah hath avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;

¹⁹kuti akukurise kwazvo kupfuura ndudzi dzose dzaakaita, pakurumbidzwa, napamukurumbira, napakukudzwa; kuti uve rudzi rutsvene kuna Jehovha Mwari wako, sezvaakataura.

¹⁹and to make thee high above all nations that he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, as he hath spoken.
