¹Murayiro wose wandinokurairai nhasi munofanira kuchenjera kuti muuite, kuti mugorarama, nokuwanda, nokupinda munyika yakapikirwa madzibaba enyu naJehovha, muiite yenyu.

¹You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.

²Unofanira kurangarira nzira yose yawakafambiswa nayo naJehovha Mwari wako murenje makore awa makumi mana, kuti akuninipise, nokukuidza, kuti azive zvaiva mumoyo mako, kana wakange uchida kuchengeta mirairo yake, kana kwete.

²You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

³Akakuninipisa, akakuziyisa nenzara, akakugutsa nemana yawakanga usingazivi, kunyange madzibaba ako akanga asingaziviwo; kuti akuzivise kuti munhu haararami nezvokudya zvoga, asi kuti munhu unorarama nezvose zvinobuda mumuromo waJehovha.

³He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh.

⁴nguvo dzako hadzina kukusakarira, netsoka dzako hadzina kuzvimba makore awa makumi mana.

⁴Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

⁵Funga mumoyo mako, kuti Jehovha Mwari wako unokuranga somunhu unoranga mwanakomana wake.

⁵You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you.

⁶Unofanira kuchengeta mirairo yaJehovha Mwari wako, kuti ufambe nenzira dzake nokumutya.

⁶You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

⁷nekuti Jehovha Mwari wako unokupinza munyika yakanaka, nyika ine hova dzemvura, namatsime, namadziva akadzika, anobuda pamipata napamakomo;

⁷For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;

⁸nyika ine zviyo, nebhari, nemizambiringa, nemionde, nemitamba; nyika yemiorivhi ina mafuta, nouchi;

⁸a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;

⁹nyika kwauchadya chingwa, usingashaiwi, kwausingatongoshaiwi chinhu; nyika ina mabwe emhangura, napamakomo ayo uchachera ndarira.

⁹a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.

¹⁰Uchadya ukaguta, ukavonga Jehovha Mwari wako nokuda kwenyika yakanaka yaakakupa.

¹⁰You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.

¹¹Chenjera kuti urege kukangamwa Jehovha Mwari wako, ukasachengeta mirairo yake, nezvaakatonga, nezvaakatema, zvandinokuraira nhasi;

¹¹Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:

¹²kuti kana wadya ukaguta, ukavaka dzimba dzakanaka, ukagara madziri,

¹²lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein;

¹³nemombe dzako namakwai ako akawanda, nesirivha yako nendarama yako ikawanda, nezvose zvaunazvo zvikawanda,

¹³and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

¹⁴moyo wako ukazvikudza, ukakangamwa Jehovha Mwari wako, wakakubudisa panyika yeEgipita paimba youranda;

¹⁴then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

¹⁵iye wakakufambisa murenje guru rinotyisa, makanga mune nyoka dzinopenga nezvinyavada, nevhu rakaoma risina mvura; iye wakakubudisira mvura padombo romusarasara;

¹⁵who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;

¹⁶wakakugutsa murenje nemana, yakanga isina kuzikamwa namadzibaba ako, kuti akuninipise akuidze, kuti akuitire zvakanaka pakupedzisira;

¹⁶who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:

¹⁷kuti urege kuzoti mumoyo mako, Simba rangu nokugona koruoko rwangu ndizvo zvakandiwanisa fuma iyi.

¹⁷and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”

¹⁸Asi unofanira kurangarira Jehovha Mwari wako, nekuti ndiye unokupa simba rokufuma; kuti asimbise sungano yake, yaakapikira madzibaba ako, sezvaanoita nhasi.

¹⁸But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.

¹⁹Zvino kana ukakangamwa Jehovha Mwari wako, ukatevera vamwe vamwari, ukavashumira, ukanamata kwavari, ndinokupupurirai nhasi kuti muchaparadzwa zvirokwazvo.

¹⁹It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

²⁰imwi muchaparadzwa sendudzi dzinoparadzwa naJehovha pamberi penyu; nekuti makaramba kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wenyu.

²⁰As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn’t listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
