Deuteronomy 32
1 Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words out of my mouth.
Inzwai, imi matenga, zvino ndichataura; inzwa, iwe nyika, mashoko omuromo wangu.
2 Let my speech be looked for as the rain, and my words come down as dew, as the shower upon the herbage, and as snow upon the grass.
Regai dzidziso yangu inaye semvura uye mashoko angu ayerere sedova, sokupfunha pauswa hunyoro, semvura zhinji papfumvudza nyoro.
3 For I have called on the name of the Lord: assign you greatness to our God.
Ndichaparidza zita raJehovha. Haiwa, rumbidzai ukuru hwaMwari wedu!
4 [As for God], his works [are] true, and all his ways [are] judgement: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.
Ndiye ibwe, mabasa ake akakwana, uye nzira dzake dzakarurama. Mwari akatendeka asina chaanotadza, akarurama uye ndowezvokwadi.
5 They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, a froward and perverse generation.
Vakaita zvakaipa kwaari; vakazvinyadzisa uye havasisiri vana vake, asi vava rudzi rwakatsauka rwakakombama,
6 Do you thus recompense the Lord? [is the] people thus foolish and unwise? did not he himself your father purchase you, and make you, and form you?
Ko, iyi ndiyo nzira yamunoripira nayo Jehovha here, imi mapenzi navanhu vasina kuchenjera? Ko, haazi iye Baba wenyu, noMusiki wenyu here, akakuitai nokukuumbai?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years for past ages: ask your father, and he shall relate to you, your elders, and they shall tell you.
Rangarira mazuva akare; ufunge marudzi akare kare. Ubvunze baba vako, uye vachakuudza, vakuru vako vachakutsanangurira.
8 When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
Wokumusoro-soro paakapa ndudzi nhaka, nguva yaakakamura marudzi ose, akaisira vanhu miganhu, zvichienderana nouwandu hwavanakomana veIsraeri.
9 And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance.
Nokuti mugove waJehovha ndivo vanhu vake, Jakobho ndiyo nhaka yake yaakayererwa.
10 He maintained him in the wilderness, in burning thirst and a dry land: he led him about and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of an eye.
Akamuwana munyika yomurenje, musina chinhu, munotyisa. Akamudzivirira uye akamuchengeta; akamuchengetedza semboni yeziso rake,
11 As an eagle would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:
segondo rinogadziridza dendere raro nokuengerera pamusoro pavana varo, rinotambanudza mapapiro aro kuti rivagamhe, rovabereka pamapapiro aro.
12 the Lord alone led them, there was no strange god with them.
Jehovha oga ndiye akamutungamirira; kwakanga kusina mwari wokumwe akanga anaye.
13 He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.
Akamuita kuti atasve panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzenyika uye akamupa zvibereko zveminda kuti adye. Akamusimbisa nouchi hwakabva padombo, uye namafuta akabva padombo romusarasara,
14 Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids, with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the blood of the grape.
noruomba nomukaka kubva pamombe namakwai uye namakwayana nembudzi zvakakodzwa, namakondobwe akaisvonaka eBhashani, netsanga dzakanakisisa dzegorosi. Akanwa furo reropa ramazambiringa.
15 So Jacob ate and was filled, and the beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the God that made him, and departed from God his Saviour.
Jeshuruni akazokora uye akapfura; aguta nezvokudya, akava mukobvu uye akava namafuta. Akasiya Mwari akamuita uye akaramba Ibwe, Muponesi wake.
16 They provoked me to anger with strange gods; with their abominations they bitterly angered me.
Vakamuita kuti ave negodo nokuda kwavamwari vokumwe uye vakamutsamwisa nezviumbwa zvinonyangadza.
17 They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; to gods whom they knew not: new and fresh [gods] came in, whom their fathers knew not.
Vakabayira kumadhimoni, asiri Mwari, vamwari vavakanga vasingazivi, vamwari vatsva vakanga vachangomuka, vamwari vakanga vasingazivikanwi namadzibaba enyu.
18 You have forsaken God that begot you, and forgotten God who feeds you.
Wakasiya Ibwe rakakubereka; wakakanganwa Mwari akakubereka.
19 And the Lord saw, and was jealous; and was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,
Jehovha akaona izvi akavaramba nokuti akanga atsamwiswa navakomana vake navanasikana vake.
20 and said, I will turn away my face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons in whom is no faith.
“Ndichavanza chiso changu kubva kwavari,” iye akadaro, “tigoona kuti magumo avo achazodii; nokuti rudzi rwakatsauka, vana vasina kutendeka.
21 They have provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, they have exasperated me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.
Vakamutsa godo rangu nokuda kwechinhu chisati chiri Mwari, vakanditsamwisa nokuda kwezviumbwa zvavo zvisina maturo. Ndichaita kuti vagodorwe navaya vasati vari vanhu; ndichavaita kuti vatsamwiswe norudzi rusinganzwisisi.
22 For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Nokuti moto watungidzwa nehasha dzangu, idzo dzinopisa kusvikira pasi pegomba rorufu. Dzichaparadza nyika nezvibereko zvayo uye dzichapisa nheyo dzamakomo. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against them.
“Ndichatutira njodzi pamusoro pavo uye ndichapedza miseve yangu ndichivapfura.
24 [They shall be] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.
Ndichatumira nzara inoondesa pamusoro pavo, nokuparadza kunopisa zvikuru nedenda rakaipisisa; ndichatumira meno ezvikara zvesango kwavari, uturu hwenyoka dzomuguruva.
25 Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old.
Munzira munondo uchaparadza vana vavo vose; mudzimba dzavo vachagara vachivhundutswa. Majaya nemhandara vachaparadzwa, vacheche navatana vachaparadzwawo.
26 I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from amongst men.
Ndakati ndichavaparadzira ndigodzima kurangarirwa kwavo kubva pakati pamarudzi,
27 Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.
asi ndakazotya kutuka kwomuvengi, kuti vavengi vavo vasazozvinzwisisa uye vakazoti, ‘Ruoko rwedu rwatikundisa; haazi Jehovha akaita izvi zvose.’”
28 It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there understanding in them.
Nokuti ivo rudzi rusina mano, havagoni kunzvera pakati pavo.
29 They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.
Dai chete vakanga vakachenjera uye dai vaizonzwisisa izvi nokunzvera kuti magumo avo achazova akaita sei!
30 How should one pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered them up?
Ko, munhu mumwe chete angadzinga sei chiuru chavanhu, kana kuti vanhu vaviri vangaita kuti vanhu zviuru gumi vatize sei, kunze kwokunge Dombo ravo ravatengesa, kunze kwokunge Jehovha ari iye avaisa mumaoko avo?
31 For their gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.
Nokuti dombo ravo harina kufanana neDombo redu, sezvinofungwa navavengi vedu.
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and their vine-branch of Gomorrha: their grape [is] a grape of gall, their cluster [is] one of bitterness.
Nokuti mazambiringa avo anobva pamizambiringa yeSodhomu nokuminda yeGomora. Mazambiringa avo azere nomuchetura, uye masumbu avo azere nokuvava.
33 Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, and the incurable rage of asps.
Waini yavo uturu hwenyoka, uturu hwakaipisisa hwemhakure.
34 Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed amongst my treasures?
“Ko, handina kuchengeta izvi here, uye ndikazvipfigira mumatura angu?
35 In the day of vengeance I will recompense, whenever their foot shall be tripped up; for the day of their destruction [is] near to them, and the judgements at hand are close upon you.
Kutsiva ndokwangu; ndichatsiva. Nenguva yakafanira tsoka dzavo dzichatedzemuka; zuva renjodzi yavo rava pedyo uye kuparadzwa kwavo kunokurumidza kuuya pamusoro pavo.”
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and shall be comforted over his servants; for he saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:
Jehovha achatonga vanhu vake uye achanzwira tsitsi varanda vake, paanoona simba ravo rapera uye pasina asara, akatapwa kana asina.
37 and the Lord said, Where are their gods on whom they trusted?
Achati, “Ko, zvino vamwari vavo varipiko, dombo ravakahwanda mariri,
38 the fat of whose sacrifices you ate, and you drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, and be your protectors.
vamwari vakadya mafuta ezvibayiro zvavo nokunwa waini yezvipiriso zvavo zvinonwiwa? Ngavasimuke kuti vakubatsirei! Ngavakupei pokuvanda!
39 Behold, behold that I am [he], and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.
“Chionai zvino kuti ini pachangu ndini Iye! Hakuna mumwe Mwari kunze kwangu, ndinouraya uye ndinopa upenyu, ndakakuvadza uye ndichaporesa, uye hapana anogona kudzikinura muruoko rwangu.
40 For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and swear by my right hand, and I will say, I live for ever.
Ndinosimudza ruoko rwangu kudenga ndichiti: Zvirokwazvo, noupenyu hwangu husingaperi,
41 For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand shall take hold of judgement; and I will render judgement to my enemies, and will recompense them that hate me.
kana ndichirodza munondo wangu unopenya uye ruoko rwangu rwaubata mukutonga, ndichatsiva kuvavengi vangu uye ndigotsiva vaya vanondivenga.
42 I will make my weapons drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, [it shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.
Ndichaita kuti miseve yangu idhakwe neropa ravo, uye munondo wangu uchadya nyama: ropa revakaurayiwa nevatapwa, nemisoro yavatungamiri vavavengi vangu.”
43 Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
Farai, imi ndudzi, navanhu vake, nokuti achatsiva ropa ravaranda vake; achatsiva kuvavengi vake agoyananisira nyika yake navanhu vake.
44 And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
Mozisi akauya naJoshua mwanakomana waNuni uye akataura kwaari mashoko ose aya orwiyo urwu vanhu vachinzwa.
45 And Moses finished speaking to all Israel.
Mozisi akati apedza kutaura mashoko ose aya kuvaIsraeri vose,
46 And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law.
akati kwavari, “Isai mumwoyo menyu mashoko ose andakupupurirai nhasi, kuitira kuti mugozorayira vana venyu kuti vachenjerere kuita mashoko ose omurayiro uyu.
47 For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
Haasi mashoko asina maturo kwamuri, asi kuti ndihwo upenyu hwenyu. Namashoko aya muchararama mazuva mazhinji munyika yamuri kuyambuka Jorodhani kuti muitore.”
48 And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying,
Pazuva rimwe chetero Jehovha akataura kuna Mozisi akati,
49 Go up to the mount Abarim, this mountain Nabau which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
“Kwira kumakomo eAbharimu uende mugomo reNebho muMoabhu, riri mhiri kweJeriko, ugoona nyika yeKenani, nyika yandiri kupa vaIsraeri kuti ive yavo.
50 and die in the mount whither you go up, and be added to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.
Ipapo pagomo pauchakwira ndipo pauchafira uye ugova pamwe navanhu vako, sokufa kwakaita mukoma wako Aroni akafira paGomo reHori uye akava navanhu vake.
51 Because you disobeyed my word amongst the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because you sanctified me not amongst the sons of Israel.
Izvi zvakaitika nokuti imi muri vaviri hamuna kutendeka kwandiri pamberi pavaIsraeri pamvura yeMeribha Kadheshi murenje reZini uye nokuti hamuna kusimudzira utsvene hwangu pakati pavaIsraeri.
52 You shall see the land before [you], but you shall not enter into it.
Naizvozvo, uchaona nyika iyi uri chinhambwe; asi haungapindi munyika yandiri kupa kuvanhu veIsraeri.”
