¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²Uyezve, uti kuvana vaIsiraeri, Ani naani pakati pavana vaIsiraeri, kana pavatorwa vagere pakati pavaIsiraeri, unopa Moreki vana vake, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa; vanhu venyika vanofanira kumutaka namabwe.

²“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

³Neniwo ndichananaidza munhu uyo, ndichamubvisa pakati porudzi rwake; nekuti wakapa Moreki vamwe pakati pavana vake, kuti asvibise imba yangu tsvene, nokumhura zita rangu dzvene.

³I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

⁴Kana vanhu vakaita savasingaoni munhu uyo, kana achipa Moreki vamwe pakati pavana vake, vakasamuuraya;

⁴If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and don’t put him to death;

⁵ipapo ini ndichananaidza munhu uyo nemhuri yake, ndimubvise pakati porudzi rwake, iye navose vanomutevera pakupata naMoreki.

⁵then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.

⁶Munhu unotsaukira kumasvikiro navavuki kuvatevera pakupata, ndichananaidza munhu uyo, ndimubvise pakati porudzi rwake.

⁶“‘The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

⁷Naizvozvo zvitsaurei, muve vatsvene; nekuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

⁷“‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.

⁸Munofanira kuchengeta mitemo yangu, nokuiita; ndini Jehovha unokutsaurai.

⁸You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

⁹Nekuti mumwe nomumwe unotuka baba vake, kana mai vake, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa; munhu wakatuka baba vake kana mai vake, mhosva yeropa rake ichava pamusoro pake.

⁹“‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

¹⁰Munhu unoita upombwe nomukadzi womumwe, iye unoita upombwe nomukadzi wowokwake, zvirokwazvo mhombwe nechifeve vose vachaurawa.

¹⁰“‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

¹¹Munhu unovata nomukadzi wababa vake, wafukura baba vake, zvirokwazvo vose vari vaviri vanofanira kuurawa; mhosva yeropa ravo ichava pamusoro pavo.

¹¹“‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹²Kana munhu akavata nomukadzi womwanakomana wake, zvirokwazvo vose vari vaviri vanofanira kuurawa; vakaita zvinonyangadza kwazvo; mhosva yeropa ravo ichava pamusoro pavo.

¹²“‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have committed a perversion; their blood shall be upon them.

¹³Kana munhu akavata nomurume sezvinoitwa nomukadzi, zvirokwazvo vose vari vaviri vakaita zvinonyangadza, vose vanofanira kuurawa; mhosva yeropa ravo ichava pamusoro pavo.

¹³“‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁴Kana munhu akatora mukadzi pamwechete namai vake, zvakaipa; vanofanira kupiswa nomoto vose, iye naivo; kuti kurege kuva nezvakaipa pakati penyu.

¹⁴“‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness among you.

¹⁵Kana munhu akavata nechipfuwo, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa; nechipfuwowo munofanira kuchiuraya.

¹⁵“‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.

¹⁶Kana mukadz akaswedera kuchipfuwo chipi nechipi kuti avate pamberi pacho, munofanira kuuraya mukadzi nechipfuwo; zvirokwazvo zvinofanira kuurawa; mhosva yeropa razvo ichava pamusoro pazvo.

¹⁶“‘If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

¹⁷Kana munhu akatora hanzvadzi yake, mwanasikana wababa vake, kana mwanasikana wamai vake, akamufukura, naiyewo akamufukura, chinhu chinyonyadza; vachabviswa pamberi pavana vorudzi rwavo; wafukura hanzvadzi yake, iye uchava nemhosva yake.

¹⁷“‘If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

¹⁸Kana munhu akavata nomukadzi panguva yokuva kumwedzi kwake, akamufukura, wafukura tsime rake, naiye wafukura tsime reropa rake; ivo vaviri vose vanofanira kubviswa pakati porudzi rwavo.

¹⁸“‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

¹⁹Usafukura mainini vako, kana vatete vako, nekuti wafukura hama yako yomumba; vachava nemhosva yavo.

¹⁹“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they shall bear their iniquity.

²⁰Kana munhu akavata nomukadzi wababamunini vake, wafukura babamunini vake; vachava nezvivi zvavo; vachafa vasina vana.

²⁰If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

²¹Kana munhu akatora mukadzi womunin'ina wake, chinhu chine tsvina; wafukura munin'ina wake; vachashaiwa vana.

²¹“‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity: he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.

²²Naizvozvo chengetai mitemo yangu yose, nezvose zvandakatonga, kuti muzviite; kuti nyika yandinozokuisai kwairi, kuti mugaremo, irege kukurutsai.

²²“‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.

²³Musafamba netsika dzorudzi rwavanhu vandichadzinga pamberi penyu; nekuti ivo vakaita izvozvo zvose, naizvozvo ndakavasema.

²³You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

²⁴Asi ndakakuudzai imwi, ndikati, Muchagara nhaka yenyika yavo, ndichakupai iyo ive yenyu; inyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, wakakutsaurai pakati pedzimwe ndudzi.

²⁴But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

²⁵Naizvozvo tsaurai zvipfuwo zvakanaka pane zvakaipa, neshiri dzakaipa pane dzakanaka; kuti murege kuva vanhu vanonyangadza nezvipfuwo, kana neshiri, kana nechinhu chipi nechipi chinokambaira panyika chandakatsaura kwamuri ndichiti, hazvina kunaka.

²⁵“‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.

²⁶Munofanira kuva vatsvene kwandiri; nekuti ini Jehovha ndiri mutsvene, ndakakutsaurai pakati pedzimwe ndudzi, kuti muve vangu.

²⁶You shall be holy to me: for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

²⁷Murume kana mukadzi unosvikirwa, kana uri muuki, zvirokwazvo anofanira kuurawa; vanofanira kutakwa namabwe; mhosva yeropa ravo ichava pamusoro pavo.

²⁷“‘A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.’”
