Deuteronomy 17
1 You shall not sacrifice to Jehovah your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Jehovah your God.
Musabayira Jehovha Mwari wenyu mombe kana gwai rine chakaipa pariri kana rakaremara, nokuti izvozvo zvinomunyangadza.
2 If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which Jehovah your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah your God, in transgressing his covenant,
Kana pakati penyu mune rimwe ramaguta amuri kupiwa naJehovha pakawanikwa murume kana mukadzi achiita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu, achiputsa sungano,
3 and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
uye akapesana nomurayiro wangu anamata vamwe vamwari, achivapfugamira kana kupfugamira zuva kana mwedzi kana nyeredzi dzokudenga,
4 and it be told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently; and look, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
uye izvi zvaziviswa kwamuri, ipapo munofanira kunyatsozvibvunzisisa kwazvo. Kana chiri chokwadi uye zvanyatsoonekwa kuti chinhu ichi chinonyangadza chakaitwa muIsraeri,
5 then you shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
torai murume uyu kana mukadzi uyu akaita chinhu ichi chakaipa muende naye kusuo reguta renyu mugomutaka namabwe afe.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Nokupupura kwezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu munhu achaurayiwa, asi hapana munhu anofanira kuurayiwa nokupupura kwechapupu chimwe chete.
7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Maoko ezvapupu ndiwo anofanira kutanga pakumuuraya, zvino pashure maoko avanhu vose. Munofanira kubvisa chakaipa pakati penyu.
8 If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose;
Kana mhaka dzikauya kumatare enyu dzakanyanya kukuomerai kuti mutonge, dzingava dzokudeurwa kweropa, dzokuendesana kumatare kana dzokurwa, endai nadzo kunzvimbo iyo Jehovha Mwari wenyu achasarudza.
9 and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.
Endai kuvaprista, vanova vaRevhi uye kuvatongi vanenge vachitonga panguva iyoyo. Muvabvunze uye ivo vachakuudzai mutongo wakafanira.
10 You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which Jehovah shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:
Muite sezvavanenge vakutongerai panzvimbo ichasarudzwa naJehovha. Muchenjerere kuita zvose zvavanenge vakurayirai kuti muite.
11 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Muite maererano nomurayiro wavanokudzidzisai uye nokutonga kwavanokuudzai. Hamufaniri kutsauka kubva pane zvavanokuudzai, kurudyi kana kuruboshwe.
12 The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Jehovah your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.
Munhu anozvidza mutongi kana muprista anomira achishumira pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu anofanira kufa. Munofanira kubvisa chakaipa muIsraeri.
13 All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Vanhu vose vachazvinzwa uye vagotya, uye havazozvidzi zvakare.
14 When you have come to the land which Jehovah your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, "I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me";
Kana muchinge mapinda munyika yamuri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu uye kana muchinge maitora kuti ive yenyu, uye magara mairi, uye mukati, “Ngatizvigadzirei mambo sezvakaita ndudzi dzose dzakapoteredza,”
15 you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom Jehovah your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
chenjererai kuti mugadze mambo achasarudzwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu. Anofanira kubva pakati pehama dzenyu. Musazvigadzira mutorwa, uyo asiri hama yenyu muIsraeri.
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Jehovah has said to you, "You shall not go back that way again."
Mambo haafaniri kuva namabhiza akawanda kana kuita kuti vanhu vadzokere kuIjipiti kundotora mamwe, nokuti Jehovha akutaurirai kuti, “Hamufaniri kudzoka nenzira iyoyo zvakare.”
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Haafaniri kutora madzimai akawanda, nokuti mwoyo wake ungazotsauswa. Haafaniri kuunganidza sirivha negoridhe zvakawanda.
18 It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.
Kana achinge agara pachigaro chake choushe, anofanira kuzvinyorera bhuku romurayiro uyu, achitora kubva mumirayiro yavaprista vanova vaRevhi.
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
Anofanira kugara naro uye anofanira kuriverenga mazuva ose oupenyu hwake kuitira kuti adzidze kutya Jehovha Mwari wake uye agochenjerera kutevera mashoko ose omurayiro uyu nemitemo iyi.
20 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
Uye haafaniri kuzviona seari nani kupfuura hama dzake agotsauka kubva pamurayiro kurudyi kana kuruboshwe. Ipapo iye nezvizvarwa zvake achagara nguva huru paushe hwake muIsraeri.
