¹Musazviitira zvifananidzo, kana kuzvimutsira mufananidzo wakavezwa kana shongwe yebwe; musaisa ibwe rinomufananidzo munyika yenyu kuti mupfugamirepo, nekuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

¹“‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am Yahweh your God.

²Munofanira kuchengeta masabata angu, nokukudza imba yangu tsvene; ndini Jehovha.

²“‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am Yahweh.

³Kana muchifamba nemitemo yangu, nokuchengeta mirairo yangu, muchiiita;

³“‘If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

⁴ini ndichakunisirai mvura nenguva yayo, nenyika ichabereka zvibereko zvayo, nemiti yesango ichabereka zvibereko zvayo.

⁴then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

⁵Kupura kwenyu kuchasvika pakukohwa mazambiringa, nokukohwa mazambiringa kuchasvika panguva yokudzvara; muchadya zvokudya zvenyu mukaguta, nokugara munyika yenyu makachengeteka.

⁵Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

⁶Ndichakupai rugare panyika, kuti muvate pasi musingavhunduswi nomunhu; zvikara ndichazvipedza panyika, nomunondo haungapfuuri nomunyika yenyu,

⁶“‘I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid; and I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

⁷muchadzinga vavengi venyu, vakaparadzwa nomunondo pamberi penyu.

⁷You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

⁸Vashanu venyu vachadzinga vane zana, navane zana venyu vachadzinga vane zviuru zvine gumi, vavengi venyu vachaparadzwa nomunondo pamberi penyu.

⁸Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

⁹Ini ndichakurangarirai, ndichakuberekesai nokukuwanzai; ndichasimbisa sungano yangu nemi.

⁹“‘I will have respect for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

¹⁰Muchadya zviyo zvakachengetwa nguva huru, muchafanira kubudisa zvekare kudziurira zvitsva.

¹⁰You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.

¹¹Ndichagadza tabhenakeri yangu pakati penyu; mweya wangu haungakusemiyi.

¹¹I will set my tent among you: and my soul won’t abhor you.

¹²Uye ndichafamba pakati penyu, ndive Mwari wenyu, nemwi muchava vanhu vangu.

¹²I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.

¹³Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, wakakubudisai munyika yeEgipita, kuti murege kuva vatapwa vavo; ndakavhuna matanda ejoko renyu, ndikakufambisai makati tasa.

¹³I am Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

¹⁴Asi kana musingadi kunditeerera, musingadi kuita mirairo iyi yose;

¹⁴“‘But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments;

¹⁵kana muchiramba mitemo yangu, kana mweya yenyu ichisema zvandakatonga, kuti murege kuda kuita mirairo yangu yose, asi muchiputsa sungano yangu,

¹⁵and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;

¹⁶neniwo ndichakuitirai izvi: Ndichauyisa zvinotyisa pamusoro penyu, hosha yorukosoro nefivhiri zvichaparadza meso nokuwondisa mweya yenyu; muchadzvara mbeu yenyu pasina, nekuti vavengi venyu vachazvidya.

¹⁶I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

¹⁷Ndichakutongai kuti mukundwe pamberi pavavengi venyu, vanokuvengai vachava vabati venyu; muchatiza kunyange kusina munhu unokudzingai.

¹⁷I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.

¹⁸Zvino kunyange zvakadaro kana musingadi kunditeerera, ndichawedzera kukurovai kanomwe pamusoro pezvivi zvenyu.

¹⁸“‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

¹⁹Ndichaputsa kuzvikudza kwenyu pamusoro pesimba renyu, denga renyu ndichariita sesimbi, nenyika yenyu sendarira;

¹⁹I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like brass;

²⁰simba renyu richaperera pasina, nekuti nyika yenyu haingabereki zvibereko zvayo, nemiti yenyika haingabereki zvibereko zvayo.

²⁰and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

²¹Kana muchindiramba, musingadi kunditeerera, ndichawedzera kanomwe matambudziko pamusoro pezvivi zvenyu.

²¹“‘If you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.

²²Ndichatuma zvikara zvesango pakati penyu, zvichakupedzerai vana venyu, nokuparadza zvipfuwo zvenyu, nokukutapudzai; nzira dzenyu dzichashaiwa vanhu.

²²I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become desolate.

²³Zvino kana musingadi kudzorwa neni nezvinhu izvi, asi muchindiramba,

²³“‘If by these things you won’t be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me;

²⁴neniwo ndichakurambai; neniwo, ini ndimene, ndichakurovai kanomwe pamusoro pezvivi zvenyu.

²⁴then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.

²⁵Ndichauyisa munondo pamusoro penyu, uchatsiva sungano yangu; muchaunganidzwa mumaguta enyu, ini ndichatuma matenda pakati penyu; muchaiswa mumaoko avavengi venyu.

²⁵I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶Kana ndichivhuna mudonzvo wenyu wechingwa, vakadzi vane gumi vachabika chingwa muchoto chimwe, vachikudzoserai chingwa chenyu chayerwa; muchadya, asi hamungaguti.

²⁶When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

²⁷Zvino kana musingadi naizvozvo zvose kunditeerera, asi muchindiramba,

²⁷“‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary to me;

²⁸ipapo neniwo ndichakurambai nokutsamwa kukuru; ndichakurovai kanomwe pamusoro pezvivi zvenyu.

²⁸then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

²⁹Muchadya nyama yavanakomana venyu, nenyama yavanasikana venyu muchaidya.

²⁹You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

³⁰Ndichaparadza nzvimbo dzenyu dzakakwirira, nokuputsa mifananidzo yenyu yezuva, nokukanda zvitunha zvenyu pamusoro pezvitunha zvezvifananidzo zvenyu; mweya wangu uchakusemai.

³⁰I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.

³¹Ndichaita maguta enyu matongo, nenzvimbo dzenyu tsene ndichadziparadza handinganhuwidzi munhuwi wezvinozipa zvenyu.

³¹I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.

³²Ndichaparadza nyika yenyu; vavengi venyu vachagaramo, vachashamiswa nazvo.

³²I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it.

³³Ndichakurashanyai pakati pavahedheni, nokuvhomora munondo shure kwenyu; nyika yenyu ichava renje, maguta enyu achava matongo.

³³I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

³⁴Zvino nyika ichafarira masabata ayo, panguva yokuparadzwa kwayo, imwi muri munyika yavavengi venyu; panguva iyo nyika ichazorora, ichifarira masabata ayo.

³⁴Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

³⁵Panguva yose yokuparadzwa kwayo ichazorora nokuzorora kwayakashaiwa pamasabata enyu, panguva yamakagaramo.

³⁵As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your sabbaths, when you lived on it.

³⁶Kana vari vamwe venyu vakasara, ndichatuma kutya pamoyo yavo vari munyika yavavengi vavo; kana vachinzwa shizha richipepereka, vachatiza; vachatiza somunhu unotiza munondo, vachawa kunyange kusina munhu unovadzinga.

³⁶“‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues.

³⁷Vachawirana savanhu vanowa pamberi pomunondo, kusina munhu anovadzinga; hamungavi nesimba rokumira pamberi pavavengi venyu.

³⁷They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies.

³⁸Muchandofira pakati pavahedheni, nenyika yavavengi venyu ichakudyai.

³⁸You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up.

³⁹Vamwe venyu vakasara vachawonda muzvivi zvavo panyika yavavengi vavo; vachawonda samadzibaba avo akawonda muzvivi zvavo.

³⁹Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

⁴⁰Zvino vachazvireurura zvivi zvavo nezvivi zvamadzibaba avo, nokudarika kwavakadarika nako kwandiri, uye zvavakandiramba,

⁴⁰“‘If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,

⁴¹neniwo ndakavaramba, ndikavaisa kunyika yavavengi vavo; zvino kana moyo yavo isina kudzingiswa ikazvininipisa, vakatenda kurohwa pamusoro pezvivi zvavo;

⁴¹I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity;

⁴²ipapo ndicharangarira sungano yangu naJakove; nesungano yangu naIsaka, nesungano yangu naAbhurahamu, ndichairangarira; nyika ndichairangarirawo.

⁴²then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.

⁴³Nyika ichafanira kusiiwa navo, kuti ifarire masabata ayo ichaparadzwa ivo vasipo; vacharohwa pamusoro pezvivi zvavo, nekuti vakaramba zvandakanga ndatonga, mweya yavo ikasema mitemo yangu.

⁴³The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

⁴⁴Kunyange zvakadaro, kana vari munyika yavavengi vavo, handingavarashi, handigavasemi, ndivaparadze chose, nokuputsa sungano yangu navo; nekuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wavo;

⁴⁴Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God;

⁴⁵asi nokuda kwavo ndicharangarira sungano yangu namadziteteguru avo, vandakabudisa munyika yeEgipita pamberi pavahedheni, kuti ndive Mwari wavo; ndini Jehovha.

⁴⁵but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.’”

⁴⁶Ndiyo mitemo nezvakatongwa nemirairo yakaitwa naJehovha pakati pake navana vaIsiraeri pagomo reSinai nomuromo waMozisi.

⁴⁶These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
