1Zvino Mozisi akadana vaIsiraeri vose, akati kwavari, Inzwai vaIsiraeri, zvakatemwa nezvakatongwa, zvandinotaura nhasi muchizvinzwa, kuti muzvidzidze nokuzvichengeta mugozviita.
1Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.
2Jehovha Mwari wedu wakaita sungano nesu paHorebhu.
2Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3Jehovha haana kuita sungano iyi namadzibaba edu, asi nesu, isu tose tiri vapenyu nhasi pano.
3Yahweh didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4Jehovha akataura nemi, zviso zvakatarisana, ari mukati momoto,
4Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the midst of the fire,
5(nenguva iyo ini ndakanga ndimire pakati paJehovha nemi, kuti ndikuzivisei shoko raJehovha; nekuti imwi makanga muchitya nokuda komoto, mukasakwira mugomo;) akati,
5(I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you the word of Yahweh: for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain;) saying,
6Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako, wakakubudisa munyika yeEgipita, muimba youranda.
6“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7Usava navamwe vamwari kunze kwangu.
7“You shall have no other gods before me.
8Usazviitira mufananidzo wakavezwa, kana uri mufananidzo wechinhu chiri kudenga kumusoro, kana wechiri panyika pasi, kana wechiri mumvura pasi penyika.
8“You shall not make an engraved image for yourself, any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
9Usapfugamira izvozvo, kana kuzvishumira; nekuti ini Jehovha Mwari wako, ndiri Mwari une godo; ndinorova vana nokuda kwezvivi zvamadzibaba avo, kusvikira kurudzi rwechitatu norwechina rwavanondivenga;
9you shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, Yahweh, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me;
10ndichiitira nyasha vane zviuru zvamazana vanondida, vanochengeta mirairo yangu.
10and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11Usareva zita raJehovha Mwari wako pasina; nekuti Jehovha haangaregi kumupa mhosva unoreva zita rake pasina.
11“You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain: for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
12Chengeta zuva resabata, rive dzvene, sezvawakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
12“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13Ubate basa mazuva matanhatu, uite mabasa ako ose.
13You shall labor six days, and do all your work;
14Asi zuva rechinomwe isabata raJehovha Mwari wako; usatongobata mabasa naro, iwe, kana mwanakomana wako, kana mwanasikana wako, kana muranda wako, kana murandakadzi wako, kana mombe yako, kana dhongi rako, kana chimwe chezvipfuwo zvako, kana mweni wako uri mukati mamasuwo ako; kuti muranda wako nomurandakadzi wako vazorore sewe.
14but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God, in which you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
15Unofanira kurangarira kuti newewo waiva muranda panyika Jehovha Mwari wako akakubudisa nechanza chine simba noruoko rwakatambanudzwa; naizvozvo Jehovha Mwari wako wakakuraira kuti uchengete zuva resabata.
15You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16Kudza baba vako namai vako, sezvawakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wako; kuti mazuva ako ave mazhinji, ufare panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
16“Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
17Usauraya.
17“You shall not murder.
18Uye usaita upombwe.
18“Neither shall you commit adultery.
19Uye usaba.
19“Neither shall you steal.
20Uye usapupurira wokwako nhema.
20“Neither shall you give false testimony against your neighbor.
21Uye usachiva mukadzi wowokwako; uye usachochora imba yowokwako, kana munda wake, kana muranda wake, kana murandakadzi wake, kana mombe yake, kana mbongoro yake, kana chimwe chinhu chowokwako.
21“Neither shall you covet your neighbor’s wife; neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
22Jehovha wakataura mashoko awa ose pagomo kuungano yenyu yose, ari mukati memoto negore, nokusviba kukuru, nenzwi guru; haana kuwedzera mamwe. Akaanyora pamabwendefa maviri amabwe, akandipa iwo.
22These words Yahweh spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me.
23Zvino imwi makati muchinzwa inzwi richibva mukati merima, negomo richipfuta nomoto, mukaswedera kwandiri, vakuru vose Namarudzi enyu, navakuru venyu,
23It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24mukati, Tarirai, Jehovha Mwari wedu watiratidza kubwinya kwake noukuru hwake, tikanzwa inzwi rake richibva mumoto; taona hedu nhasi kuti Mwari ungataura nomunhu, akararama hake.
24and you said, “Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.
25Naizvozvo zvino tichafireiko? Nekuti moto uyu mukuru uchatiparadza, kana tikaramba tichinzwa inzwi raJehovha Mwari wedu tichafa.
25Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, then we shall die.
26Nekuti ndianiko pakati pavanhu vose wakanzwa inzwi raMwari mupenyu achitaura ari mumoto, sesu, akararama here?
26For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27Swedera hako iwe, unzwe zvose zvicharehwa naJehovha Mwari wedu, ugozotiudza zvose zvauchaudzwa iwe naJehovha Mwari wedu; tichazvinzwa, nokuzviita.
27Go near, and hear all that Yahweh our God shall say: and tell us all that Yahweh our God shall tell you; and we will hear it, and do it.”
28Zvino Jehovha akanzwa inzwi ramashoko enyu, nguva yamakataura neni; Jehovha akati kwandiri, Ndanzwa inzwi ramashoko avanhu ava, avakataura newe; zvose zvavakareva vakataura havo zvakanaka.
28Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and Yahweh said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken.
29Dai vaiva nemoyo yakadai, vakanditya nokuchengeta mirairo yangu nguva dzose, kuti zvive zvakanaka navo, ivo navana vavo, nokusingaperi!
29Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!
30Enda, undoti kwavari, Dzokerai kumatende enyu.
30“Go tell them, Return to your tents.
31Asi iwe, mira pano kwandiri, ndikuudze murayiro wose, nezvakatemwa, nezvakatongwa, zvaunofanira kuvadzidzisa, kuti vazviite panyika yandinovapa, kuti ive yavo.
31But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.”
32Naizvozvo chenjerai, kuti muite sezvamakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu; musatsaukira kurutivi rworudyi kana rworuboshwe.
32You shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33Munofanira kufamba nenzira yose yamakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu, kuti murarame, zvive zvakanaka nemi, namazuva enyu ave mazhinji panyika iyo, ichava yenyu.
33You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
