²A bastard shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even his tenth generation shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah.

³An Ammonite or Moabite shall not come into the congregation of Jehovah; even their tenth generation shall not come into the congregation 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 on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, of 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.

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

¹¹and it shall be, towards evening, he shall bathe in water: and at the going down of the sun he may come inside the camp.

¹²Iwe unofanira kuva nenzvimbo kunze kwemisasa kwaungaenda.

¹²Thou shalt have a place also outside the camp, and shalt go forth thither.

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

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

¹⁷There shall be no prostitute amongst the daughters of Israel, nor any Sodomite amongst 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.

²¹When thou vowest a vow to Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not delay to perform it; for Jehovah thy God will certainly require it of thee, and it shall be sin in thee.

²²Asi kana ukarega hako kupika, hazvingavi zvivi kwauri.

²²But if thou 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.

²³What is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and do, as thou hast vowed to Jehovah thy God, the voluntary-offering that thou hast promised with thy mouth.
