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

¹It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where Yahweh your God has driven you,

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

²and shall return to Yahweh your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul;

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

³that then Yahweh your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples, where Yahweh your God has scattered you.

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

⁴If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there will Yahweh your God gather you, and from there he will bring you back:

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

⁵and Yahweh your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.

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

⁶Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.

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

⁷Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.

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

⁸You shall return and obey the voice of Yahweh, and do all his commandments which I command you 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;

⁹Yahweh your God will make you plenteous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good: for Yahweh will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your 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 you shall obey the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.

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

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

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

¹²It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to 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 you should say, “Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to 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 near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.

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

¹⁵Behold, I have set before you 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 you this day to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.

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

¹⁷But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but shall 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 to you this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land, where you pass 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 you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your 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 Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
