¹Nguva dzose kana makore manomwe apera munofanira kuva nesununguro.

¹At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.

²Nzira yesununguro ndiyo: Mumwe nomumwe wakapa chikwereti, unofanira kusunungura icho chaakapa hama yake; ngaarege kuchireva kuno wokwake kana hama yake; nekuti sununguro yaJehovha yaparidzwa.

²This is the way of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because Yahweh’s release has been proclaimed.

³Ungazvireva kumutorwa; asi zvose zvako zviri paruoko rwehama yako, unofanira kuzvisunungura.

³Of a foreigner you may exact it: but whatever of your is with your brother your hand shall release.

⁴Asi usava navarombo pakati pako (nokuti zvirokwazvo, Jehovha uchakuropafadza panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kuti ive nhaka yako),

⁴However there shall be no poor with you; (for Yahweh will surely bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it;)

⁵kana uchingoshingaira koga kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, kuti uchenjere kuita murayiro uyu wose, wandinokuraira nhasi.

⁵if only you diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you this day.

⁶Nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza, sezvaakakupikira; iwe uchapa dzimwe ndudzi zhinji chikwereti, asi iwe usatora chikwereti; iwe uchabata ndudzi zhinji, asi idzo hadzingakubati iwe.Varombo navaranda

⁶For Yahweh your God will bless you, as he promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.

⁷Kana kuno murombo kwauri, mumwe wehama dzako, mukati mamasuwo api naapi panyika yako, yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, usatsungira hama yako murombo, kana kumupfumbatirira ruoko rwako;

⁷If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

⁸asi umutambanudzire ruoko rwako kwazvo, umubatsire nechikwereti zvinoringana pakushaiwa kwake, sezvaanokumbira.

⁸but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks.

⁹Chenjera kuti urege kufunga zvakaipa mumoyo mako, uchiti, Gore rechinomwe, iro gore resununguro, riri pedo, iwe ukava nomufungo wakaipa kuhama yako, ukasamupa chinhu; iye akachema kuna Jehovha Mwari wako pamusoro pako, chikava chivi kwauri.

⁹Beware that there not be a base thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand”; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you.

¹⁰Unofanira kumupa zvakanaka, moyo wako haufaniri kuva neshungu, kana uchimupa; nekuti nokuda kwechinhu ichi Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza pamabasa ako ose, napazvose zvaunobata namaoko ako.

¹⁰You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him; because that for this thing Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.

¹¹Nekuti varombo havangatongoperi panyika; naizvozvo ndinokuraira ndichiti, Utambanudzire ruoko rwako zvakanaka kuhama yako, kuna iye unoshaiwa, nokuna varombo vako panyika yako.

¹¹For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.

¹²Kana hama yako murume muHebheru kana mukadzi muHebheru achinge atengeswa kwauri, akakubatira makore matanhatu, iwe unofnaira kumurega negore rechinomwe aende hake.

¹²If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.

¹³Zvino kana uchimurega kuti aende hake, usamuendisa asine chinhu.

¹³When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty:

¹⁴Unofanira kumugoverera zvakanaka pamakwai ako, napaburiro rako, napachisviniro chako chewaini; sezvawakaropafadzwa naJehovha Mwari wako, unofanira kumupa saizvozvo.

¹⁴you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress; as Yahweh your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.

¹⁵Unofanira kurangarira iwe kuti wakange uri muranda munyika Jehovha Mwari wako akakudzikunura; naizvozvo ndinokuraira chinhu ichi nhasi.

¹⁵You shall remember that you were a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing today.

¹⁶Asi kana akati kwauri, Handidi hangu kubva kwamuri, nekuti unokuda iwe naveimba yako, nekuti unofara hake newe,

¹⁶It shall be, if he tells you, “I will not go out from you”; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;

¹⁷ipapo unofanira kutora runji ndokuurura nzeve yake narwo pamukova, iye agova muranda wako nokusingaperi:. Uye murandakadzi wako unofanira kumuitirawo saizvozvo.

¹⁷then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.

¹⁸Hazvifaniri kuita sokukusvibisa moyo wako kana muchimurega kuti aende hake; nekuti wakakubatira makore matanhatu, achifanirwa nomubayiro wavaranda vaviri; Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza pane zvose zvaunoita.

¹⁸It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you; for to the double of the hire of a hireling has he served you six years: and Yahweh your God will bless you in all that you do.

¹⁹Mikono yose yavana vemhongora dzemombe dzako nedzamakwai ako, unofanira kutsaurira Jehovha Mwari wako; haufaniri kubata basa nomwana wemhongora dzemombe dzako, kana kuveura vana vemhongora dzamakwai ako.

¹⁹All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to Yahweh your God: you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.

²⁰Unofanira kuzvidya pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako gore rimwe nerimwe panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha, iwe nemhuri yako.

²⁰You shall eat it before Yahweh your God year by year in the place which Yahweh shall choose, you and your household.

²¹Kana chakaremara, zvimwe chinokuremara kokukamhina, kana upofu, kana kuremara kwakaipa kupi nokupi, haufaniri kuchibayira Jehovha Mwari wako.

²¹If it has any blemish, is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God.

²²Unofanira kuchidya mukati mamasuwo ako; wakanaka nousina kunaka vose vanofanira kuchidya, sezvavanodya mhara nenondo.

²²You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.

²³Asi urege kudya ropa racho, unofanira kuriteurira pasi semvura.

²³Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.
