Deuteronomy 6
1 These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it:
Iyi ndiyo mitemo, nemirayiro zvandakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti ndikudzidzisei kuti muzviite munyika yamunoyambukira Jorodhani kuti ive yenyu,
2 That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged.
kuitira kuti iwe, navana vako navana vavo vachavatevera mutye Jehovha Mwari wenyu pakurarama kwenyu nokuchengeta mitemo nemirayiro yake yose yandinokupai, uye kuitira kuti muve namazuva mazhinji okurarama.
3 Hear, O Israel, and observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey.
Chinzwa, iwe Israeri, uchenjere kuti uzviite kuitira kuti zvikunakire uye kuti muwande kwazvo munyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi, sezvamakavimbiswa naJehovha, iye Mwari wamadzibaba enyu.
4 Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.
Chinzwa iwe Israeri: Jehovha Mwari wedu, ndiJehovha mumwe chete.
5 Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.
Ida Jehovha Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose uye nesimba rako rose.
6 And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:
Mirayiro iyi yandinokupai nhasi inofanira kuva mumwoyo yenyu.
7 And thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.
Zvisimbisei kuvana venyu. Taurai pamusoro payo kana mugere mudzimba dzenyu uye kana muchifamba munzira, kana muchivata pasi uye kana muchimuka.
8 And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.
Isungirirei pamaoko enyu sechiratidzo mugoisungira pahuma dzenyu.
9 And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.
Muinyore pamagwatidziro emikova yedzimba dzenyu uye napamasuo enyu.
10 And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,
Zvino kana Jehovha Mwari wenyu achinge akupinzai munyika yaakapikira kumadzibaba enyu, Abhurahama, naIsaka, naJakobho, kuti achakupai, nyika ina maguta makuru akanaka, amusina kuvaka imi,
11 Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,
dzimba dzizere nezvinhu zvakanaka zvamarudzi ose zvamusina kutsvaka imi, matsime amusina kuchera, minda yemizambiringa namasango nemiti yemiorivhi yamusina kusima, zvino kana muchinge madya uye mukaguta,
12 And thou shalt have eaten and be full:
muchenjerere kuti murege kukanganwa Jehovha, akakubudisai kubva muIjipiti, kubva munyika youranda.
13 Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.
Itya Jehovha Mwari wako, ushumire iye oga ugoita mhiko dzako muzita rake.
14 You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about you:
Musatevera vamwe vamwari, vamwari vendudzi dzakakupoteredzai;
15 Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.
nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu ari pakati penyu ndiMwari ane godo uye hasha dzake dzichapisa pamusoro penyu, uye achakuparadzai kubva pamusoro penyika.
16 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.
Musaedza Jehovha Mwari wenyu sezvamakaita paMasa.
17 Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.
Chenjererai kuchengeta mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu nezvaakatema nemitemo yaakakupai.
18 And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,
Itai zvakarurama nezvakanaka pamberi paJehovha, kuitira kuti zvigokunakirai, mugopinda mugotora nyika yakanaka iyo Jehovha akavimbisa nemhiko kumadzitateguru enyu,
19 That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.
agoparadza vavengi venyu vose pamberi penyu, sezvakataurwa naJehovha.
20 And when thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?
Panguva inotevera, kana mwanakomana wako akakubvunza achiti, “Ko, zvakatemwa izvi, mitemo nemirayiro yamakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wedu zvinorevei?”
21 Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.
Umuudze kuti, “Takanga tiri varanda vaFaro muIjipiti, asi Jehovha akatibudisa muIjipiti noruoko rune simba.
22 And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,
Jehovha akatumira pamberi pedu zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvinotyisa pamusoro peIjipiti naFaro neimba yake yose.
23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers.
Asi akatibudisamo kuti atipinze nokutipa nyika yaakavimbisa nemhiko kumadzibaba edu.
24 And the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.
Jehovha akatirayira kuti titeerere mitemo iyi yose nokutya Jehovha Mwari wedu, kuitira kuti tibudirire nguva dzose nokurarama sezvatakaita nhasi.
25 And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
Uye kana tichichenjerera kuteerera murayiro uyu wose pamberi paJehovha Mwari wedu, sezvaakatirayira, ndiko kuchava kururama kwedu.”
