Leviticus 19
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You shall be holy; for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
“Taura kuungano yose yeIsraeri uti kwavari, ‘Ivai vatsvene nokuti ini Jehovha Mwari wenyu ndiri mutsvene.
3 Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and you shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.
“‘Mumwe nomumwe wenyu anofanira kuremekedza mai nababa vake uye munofanira kuchengetedza maSabata angu. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
4 You shall not follow idols, and you shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.
“‘Musava nehanya nezvifananidzo kana kuzviitira vamwari vesimbi dzakanyungudutswa. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
5 And if you will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, you shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.
“‘Kana uchipa Jehovha chibayiro chechipiriso chokuwadzana, unofanira kuchipa nenzira inoita kuti chigamuchirwe pachinzvimbo chako.
6 In what day soever you shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.
Chichadyiwa nomusi waunochibayira kana zuva rinotevera; chinhu chipi nechipi chinosiyiwa kusvika pazuva rechitatu chinofanira kupiswa.
7 And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.
Kana zvimwe zvacho zvikadyiwa pazuva rechitatu hazvina kuchena uye hazvigamuchirwi.
8 And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from amongst their people.
Ani naani anozvidya achapiwa mhosva nokuti asvibisa chitsvene kuna Mwari; munhu iyeye anofanira kubviswa pakati pavanhu vokwake.
9 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and you shall not gather that which falls from your reaping.
“‘Kana uchikohwa mumunda wako usakohwa kusvika kumuchetocheto womunda wako, kana kunhongera zvawira pasi pakukohwa.
10 And you shall not go over the gathering of your vineyard, neither shall you gather the remaining grapes of your vineyard: you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
Musakohwa kechipiri mumunda wemizambiringa kana kunhonga mazambiringa adonha. Zvisiyire varombo kana vatorwa. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
11 You shall not steal, you shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour.
“‘Usaba. “‘Usareva nhema. “‘Musanyengedzana.
12 And you shall not swear unjustly by my name, and you shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Usapika nhema nezita rangu ugozvidza zita raMwari wako. Ndini Jehovha.
13 You shall not injure your neighbour, neither do you rob [him], neither shall the wages of your hireling remain with you until the morning.
“‘Usabiridzira muvakidzani wako kana kumutorera chinhu nechisimba. “‘Usachengeta mubayiro womushandi kusvikira mangwana.
14 You shall not revile the deaf, neither shall you put a stumbling block in the way of the blind; and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Usatuka matsi kana kuisa chigumbuso mberi kwebofu, asi itya Mwari wako. Ndini Jehovha.
15 You shall not act unjustly in judgement: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbour.
“‘Usaminamisa kururamisira, usatsaura murombo uchifarira mupfumi, asi tonga muvakidzani wako zvakakodzera.
16 You shall not walk deceitfully amongst your people; you shall not rise up against the blood of your neighbour: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Usafamba uchiparadzira makuhwa pakati pavanhu vokwako. “‘Usaita chinhu chinoisa upenyu hwomuvakidzani wako panjodzi. Ndini Jehovha.
17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbour, so you shall not bear sin on his account.
“‘Usavenga hama yako mumwoyo mako. Tsiura muvakidzani wako zviri pachena kuitira kuti usazova nomugove pamhosva yake.
18 And your hand shall not avenge you; and you shall not be angry with the children of your people; and you shall love your neighbour as yourself; I am the Lord.
“‘Usatsvaka kutsiva kana kugara nedaka nomumwe wavanhu vokwako, asi ida muvakidzani wako sokuda kwaunozviita iwe. Ndini Jehovha.
19 You shall observe my law: you shall not let your cattle gender with one of a different kind, and you shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seed; and you shall not put upon yourself a mingled garment woven of two [materials].
“‘Chengeta mirayiro yangu. “‘Usaberekesa mhando dzemhuka dzakasiyana. “‘Usadyara mbeu mbiri dzakasiyana mumunda mako. “‘Usapfeka nguo yakarukwa nemicheka miviri yakasiyana.
20 And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, [and] her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited [with punishment]; but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty.
“‘Kana murume akavata nomukadzi ari murandakadzi akavimbiswa kuno mumwe murume, asi mukadzi asina kudzikinurwa kana kupiwa rusununguko rwake, panofanira kuva nokurangwa kwakakodzera. Asi haafaniri kuurayiwa nokuti mukadzi uyu anga asati asunungurwa.
21 And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.
Zvisinei, murume uyu anofanira kuuya negondobwe kumusuo weTende Rokusangana rechipiriso chemhosva kuna Jehovha.
22 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, for the sin which he sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven him.
Negondobwe rechipiriso chemhosva muprista anofanira kumuyananisira pamberi paJehovha nokuda kwechivi chaakaita, uye chivi chake chicharegererwa.
23 And whenever you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit tree, then shall you purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten.
“‘Kana mapinda munyika iyo mukadyara muchero upi noupi, torai michero yacho seisingabvumirwi. Kwamakore matatu munofanira kuitora seisingabvumirwi. Haifaniri kudyiwa.
24 And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.
Mugore rechina, michero yacho yose ichava mitsvene, chipiriso chokurumbidza kuna Jehovha.
25 And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.
Asi mugore rechishanu mungadya michero yacho. Nenzira iyi gohwo renyu richawedzerwa. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
26 Eat not on the mountains, nor shall you employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
“‘Usadya nyama ipi neipi ichine ropa. “‘Usaita zvokushopera kana zvouroyi.
27 You shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.
“‘Musacheka bvudzi renyu kumativi omusoro kana kudimurira ndebvu dzenyu.
28 And you shall not make cuttings in your body for a [dead] body, and you shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God.
“‘Musacheka miviri yenyu nokuda kwavakafa kana kuzviisa nyora. Ndini Jehovha.
29 You shall not profane your daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity.
“‘Usaderedza unhu hwomwanasikana wako nokumuita chifeve nokuti nyika yose ichaita ufeve ikazara nouipi.
30 You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.
“‘Chengetedza maSabata angu uye uremekedze nzvimbo yangu tsvene. Ndini Jehovha.
31 You shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Usaenda kumasvikiro nokune vezvemidzimu nokuti uchasvibiswa navo. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wako.
32 You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and shall fear your God: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Unofanira kusimukira vachena bvudzi, ratidza rukudzo kuna vakuru uye utye Mwari wako. Ndini Jehovha.
33 And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, you shall not afflict him.
“‘Kana mutorwa akagara nemi munyika, musamubate zvakaipa.
34 The stranger that comes to you shall be amongst you as the native, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Mutorwa anogara nemi anofanira kubatwa sechizvarwa chenyu. Mudei sokuda kwamunozviita imi nokuti maiva vatorwa muIjipiti. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
35 You shall not act unrighteously in judgement, in measures and weights and scales.
“‘Musashandise zviero zvokubiridzira kana muchiera urefu, uremu kana uwandu.
36 There shall be amongst you just balances and just weights and just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Shandisai zviyero zvechokwadi efa rechokwadi nehini yechokwadi. Ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu akakubudisai muIjipiti.
37 And you shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and you shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Chengetai mirayiro yangu yose nemitemo yangu yose, mugoitevera. Ndini Jehovha.’”
