¹Zvino kana zvinhu izvi zvose zvichikuwira, iko kuropafadzwa nokutukwa, kwandakaisa pamberi pako, ukazvirangarira pakati pendudzi dzose, pawakadzingirwa naJehovha Mwari wako,

¹And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee,

²ukadzokera kuna Jehovha Mwari wako, ukateerera inzwi rake, sezvandinokuraira zvose nhasi, iwe navana vako, nomoyo wako wose, nomweya wako wose;

²and shalt return unto Jehovah thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;

³ipapo Jehovha Mwari wako uchashandura kutapwa kwako, nokukunzwira tsitsi, nokukuunganidzazve pandudzi dzose, kwaakakurashanyira kwadziri, iye Jehovha Mwari wako.

³that then Jehovah thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee.

⁴Kunyange vamwe venyu vakanga vadzingirwa kumagumisiro okudenga, Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuunganidzapo, uchandokutorapo;

⁴If [any of] thine outcasts be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will Jehovah thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

⁵Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuuyisa munyika, yakanga iri yamadzibaba ako, kuti ive yako; uchakuitira zvakanaka, nokukuwanza kupfuura madzibaba ako.

⁵and Jehovah thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

⁶Jehovha Mwari wako uchadzingisa moyo wako, nemoyo yavana vako, kuti ude Jehovha Mwari wako nomoyo wako wose, nomweya wako wose, kuti urarame.

⁶And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

⁷Jehovha Mwari wako uchatuka vavengi vako nokutuka uku kose, navose vanokuvenga vanokutambudza.

⁷And Jehovah thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecuted thee.

⁸Zvino iwe uchadzoka nokuteerera inzwi raJehovha, nokuita mirairo yake yose, yandinokuraira nhasi.

⁸And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

⁹Jehovha Mwari wako uchawanza zvinobatwa namaoko ako, nezvibereko zvomuviri wako, nezvibereko zvemombe dzako, nezvibereko zvevhu rako, kuti zvifare; nekuti Jehovha uchakufarirazve zvakanaka, sezvaakafarira madzibaba ako;

⁹And Jehovah thy God will make thee plenteous in all the work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good: for Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers;

¹⁰kana uchiteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, nokuchengeta mirairo yake nezvaakatema, zvakanyorwa mubhuku iyi yomurayiro; kana ukadzokera kuna Jehovha Mwari wako nomoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose.

¹⁰if thou shalt obey the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

¹¹Nekuti murayiro uyu wandinokuraira nhasi haungakuremeri zvikuru, uye hausi kure.

¹¹For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off.

¹²Hauzi kudenga, kuti uti, Ndianiko uchatikwirira kudenga, kundotitorera iwo, nokutinzwisa iwo, kuti tiuite?

¹²It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?

¹³Hauzi mhiri kwegungwa, kuti uti, Ndianiko uchatiyambukira mhiri kwegungwa, andotitorera iwo, nokutinzwisa iwo, tiuite?

¹³Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?

¹⁴Asi shoko riri pedo kwazvo newe, mumuromo mako, nomumoyo mako, kuti uriite.

¹⁴But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

¹⁵Tarira ndaisa pamberi pako nhasi upenyu nezvakanaka, norufu nezvakaipa.

¹⁵See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

¹⁶Zvandinokuraira nhasi ndizvo, kuti ude Jehovha Mwari wako, nokufamba munzira dzake, nokuchengeta mirairo yake nezvaakatema nezvaakatonga, kuti urarame, uwande, uye kuti Jehovha Mwari wako akuropafadze kunyika kwaunoenda kwairi, kuti ive yako.

¹⁶in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.

¹⁷Asi kana moyo wako ukatsauka, ukaramba kuteerera, ukatsauswa kunamata vamwe vamwari nokuvashumira,

¹⁷But if thy heart turn away, and thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

¹⁸ndinokuudzai nhasi, kuti muchaparadzwa zvirokwazvo; hamungavi namazuva mazhinji kunyika kwaunoyambukira nhasi, kuti ive yako.

¹⁸I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days in the land, whither thou passest over the Jordan to go in to possess it.

¹⁹Ndinodana kudenga napasi kukupupurirai nhasi, kuti ndaisa pamberi pako upenyu norufu, kuropafadzwa nokutukwa; naizvozvo tsaura upenyu, kuti urarame, iwe navana vako;

¹⁹I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;

²⁰kuti ude Jehovha Mwari wako, nokuteerera inzwi rake, nokumunamatira; nekuti ndihwo upenyu hwako, nokuwanzwa kwamazuva ako; kuti ugare munyika yakapikira Jehovha madzibaba ako, Abhurahamu nalsaka naJakove, kuti uchavapa iyo.

²⁰to love Jehovah thy God, to obey his voice, and to cleave unto him; for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
