¹Zvino ndiwo murairo, nezvakatemwa, nezvakatongwa, zvandakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti ndikudzidzisei, kuti muzviite kunyika kwamunoenda kuti ive yenyu;

¹Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it;

²kuti utye Jehovha Mwari wako, uchengete zvose zvaakatema nemirairo yake, yandinokuraira, iwe, nomwanakomana wako, nomwanakomana womwanakomana wako, mazuva ose oupenyu hwako, kuti mazuva ako ave mazhinji.

²that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

³Naizvozvo chinzwa Isiraeri, uchenjere kuti uzviite; kuti zvive zvakanaka newe, muwande kwazvo, sezvamakapikirwa naJehovha Mwari wamadzibaba ako, panyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi.

³Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁴Chinzwa Isiraeri, Jehovha Mwari wedu ndiJehovha mumwe chete.

⁴Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one:

⁵Ude Jehovha Mwari wako nomoyo wako wose, nomweya wako wose, nesimba rako rose.

⁵and you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

⁶Zvino mashoko awa andinokuraira nhasi, anofanira kuva mumoyo mako,

⁶These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;

⁷unofanira kushingaira kuadzidzisa vana vako, nokuataura kana ugere mumba mako, kana uchifamba munzira, kana uchivata pasi, kana uchimuka.

⁷and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

⁸Unofanira kuasungira paruoko rwako, chive chiratidzo; uye anofanira kuva rundanyara pakati pameso ako.

⁸You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.

⁹Unofanira kuanyora pamagwatidziro emikova yeimba yako, napamasuwo ako.

⁹You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.

¹⁰Zvino kana Jehovha Mwari wako achinge akupinza munyika, yaakapikira madzibaba ako, Abhurahamu, naIsaka, naJakove, kuti uchakupa iyo, namaguta makuru akanaka, ausina kuvaka iwe,

¹⁰It shall be, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn’t build,

¹¹nedzimba dzizere nezvinhu zvose zvakanaka, dzausina kuzadza iwe, namakangwa akacherwa, ausina kuchera iwe, neminda yemizambiringa nemiorivhi, yausina kusima iwe; iwe ukadya ukaguta,

¹¹and houses full of all good things, which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;

¹²zvino chenjera kuti urege kukangamwa Jehovha, wakakubudisa panyika yeEgipita paimba youranda.

¹²then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

¹³Unofanira kutya Jehovha Mwari wako, nokumushumira, nokupika nezita rake.

¹³You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.

¹⁴Regai kutevera vamwe vamwari, vamwari vendudzi dzinokupoteredzai,

¹⁴You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you;

¹⁵nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako, ari pakati pako, ndiMwari ane godo; kuti Jehovha Mwari wako arege kukutsamwira, akuparadze panyika pose.

¹⁵for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

¹⁶Musaidza Jehovha Mwari wenyu, sezvamakamuidza paMasa.

¹⁶You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.

¹⁷Munofanira kushingaira kuchengeta mirairo yaJehovha Mwari wenyu, nezvipupuriro zvake, nezvaakatema, zvaakakuraira.

¹⁷You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

¹⁸Uye unofanira kuita zvakarurama nezvakanaka pamberi paJehovha, kuti zvive zvakanaka newe, upinde munyika yakanaka ive yako, iyo yakapikirwa madzibaba ako naJehovha,

¹⁸You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Yahweh; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers,

¹⁹kuti iye uchadzinga vavengi vako vose pamberi pako, sezvakataurwa naJehovha.

¹⁹to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

²⁰Zvino kana mwanakomana wako akakubvunza pashure, achiti, Ko izvi zvipupuriro, nezvakatemwa, nezvakatongwa, zvamakarairwa naJehovha Mwari wedu, zvinodiniko?

²⁰When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?”

²¹Unofanira kuti kumwanakomana wako, Isu takanga tiri varanda vaFarao, Jehovha akatibudisa nechanza chine simba;

²¹then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s bondservants in Egypt: and Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;

²²Jehovha akaita zviratidzo nezvinoshamisa kwazvo, zvakaipa, paEgipita, nokuna Farao, nokuimba yake yose, tichizviona;

²²and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

²³akatibudisapo, kuti atipinze pano, atipe nyika yaakapikira madzibaba edu.

²³and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

²⁴Jehovha akaraira kuti tiite izvi zvose zvaakatema, titye Jehovha Mwari wedu, kuti tiitirwe zvakanaka nguva dzose, atichengete tive vapenyu, sezvatakaita nhasi.

²⁴Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.

²⁵Zvichava zvakarurama kwatiri, kana tichichenjerera kuti tiite murayiro wose pamberi paJehovha Mwari wedu, sezvatakarairwa naye.

²⁵It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”
