Dhuteronomi 11
1 Idai Jehovha Mwari wenyu uye muchengete zvaakatema, mitemo yake, nemirayiro yake uye nezvaakarayira, nguva dzose.
Love the Lord your God and do everything he says—his rules, regulations, and commandments.
2 Murangarire nhasi kuti vana venyu havasivo vakaona uye vakaziva kuranga kwaJehovha Mwari wenyu: noukuru hwake, noruoko rwake rune simba, noruoko rwake rwakatambanudzwa;
You should realize that it's not your children who have experienced the Lord your God's discipline. It was you who saw his greatness, his power and strength;
3 nezviratidzo zvaakaita uye zvinhu zvaakaita pakati peIjipiti, nokuna Faro mambo weIjipiti uye nokunyika yake yose;
and his miracles. You saw what he did to Pharaoh king of Egypt and his whole country.
4 zvaakaita kuhondo yavaIjipita, nokumabhiza nengoro dzayo, mafukidzirwo avakaitwa nemvura yomuGungwa Dzvuku pavakanga vachikuteverai, uye kuuyisa kwakaita Jehovha kuparadzwa pamusoro pavo zvachose.
You saw what he did to the Egyptian army and its horses and chariots when he swept them away in the Red Sea, drowning them as they chased after you. The story hasn't changed!
5 Havasi vana venyu vakaona zvaakakuitirai murenje kusvikira masvika panzvimbo ino,
You saw what he did for you in the desert until you arrived here.
6 uye nezvaakaita kuna Dhatani naAbhiramu vanakomana vaEriabhi muRubheni, apo nyika yakashamisa muromo wayo ikavamedza ivo nevedzimba dzavo, namatende avo nezvipenyu zvose zvakanga zviri zvavo, pakati pavaIsraeri vose.
You saw what he did, right there among you, to Dothan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab of the tribe of Reuben, when the earth split open and swallowed them down—their families, their tents, and all their animals.
7 Asi aiva meso enyu akaona zvinhu zvose izvi zvakaitwa naJehovha.
You saw with your own eyes all the amazing things that the Lord has done.
8 Naizvozvo chengetai mirayiro yose yandinokupai nhasi, kuti muve nesimba rokupinda nokutora nyika yamuri kuyambuka Jorodhani kuti mundoita yenyu,
So you must keep every commandment I am giving you today That way you will have the strength to enter and take over the country that you are crossing the Jordan to have as your own,
9 uye kuti mazuva enyu ave mazhinji munyika iyo Jehovha akapikira kumadzitateguru enyu kuti achavapa ivo nezvizvarwa zvavo, nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi.
You will also have long lives in the country that the Lord promised to give your forefathers and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Nyika yamuri kupinda kundotora haina kufanana nenyika yeIjipiti, uko kwamakabva, uko kwamaidyara mbeu dzenyu muchidiridza netsoka sezvinoitwa mubindu romuriwo.
The country you're entering to occupy isn't like the country of Egypt that you've come from. There you had to sow your seed and work hard irrigating the ground, like taking care of a vegetable garden.
11 Asi nyika yamuri kuyambuka Jorodhani kundotora kuti ive yenyu inyika yamakomo nemipata zvinonwa mvura kubva kudenga.
But here in the country that you are crossing the Jordan to take over is a land of mountains and valleys that receives plenty of rain
12 Inyika inochengetwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu; meso aJehovha Mwari wenyu anoramba akaitarira kubva pakutanga kwegore kusvikira pakupera kwegore.
It is a land that the Lord your God takes care of. The Lord your God it is always watching over it, all year long.
13 Saka kana mukateerera mirayiro yandinokupai nhasi makatendeka, mukada Jehovha Mwari wenyu uye mukamushumira nomwoyo wenyu wose uye nomweya wenyu wose,
So if you pay careful attention to keep the commandments I'm giving you today, if you love the Lord your God and to worship with all your mind and with all your being,
14 ipapo ndichanayisa mvura panyika yenyu nemwaka wayo, mvura yamasutso neyomunakamwe, kuitira kuti mugone kukohwa zviyo zvenyu newaini itsva namafuta.
then I will send rain for your land at the right time, rain in autumn and spring, so that you can harvest your grain, new wine, and olive oil.
15 Ndichameresa uswa hwemombe dzenyu kumafuro uye muchadya muchiguta.
I will also provide grass in the fields for your livestock. You will have more than enough to eat.
16 Chenjerai kuti murege kunyengerwa mumwoyo yenyu kuti mutsauke muchinamata vamwe vamwari uye nokuvapfugamira.
But make sure you're not that you're not fooled into worshiping and bowing down to other gods,
17 Ipapo kutsamwa kwaJehovha kuchapfuta pamusoro penyu, uye achapfiga denga kuti mvura iregere kunaya uye nyika icharega kubereka zvibereko zvayo, uye imi muchakurumidza kuparara kubva panyika yakanaka yamunopiwa naJehovha.
or the Lord will become angry with you. He won't send any rain, and the land won't produce any crops, and you will soon die, even in the good land that the Lord is giving you.
18 Isai mashoko angu aya mumwoyo yenyu nepfungwa dzenyu; asungirei pamaoko enyu sezviratidzo uye muasungire pahuma dzenyu.
Focus your minds on the words that I'm saying. Tie them on your hands as reminders and put them on your foreheads as well.
19 Adzidzisei kuvana venyu, muchitaura pamusoro pawo pamunogara pasi uye nepamunenge muchifamba panzira, pamunorara pasi uye nepamunomuka.
Teach them to your children and talk about them when you're at home and when you're traveling, when you lie down and when you get up.
20 Anyorei pamagwatidziro emikova yedzimba dzenyu uye napamasuo enyu,
Write them on the doorposts of your homes and on your gates,
21 kuitira kuti mazuva enyu namazuva avana venyu awande panyika yakapikirwa madzitateguru enyu naJehovha kuti achavapa, awande samazuva ayo denga richava pamusoro penyika.
so that as long as the earth lasts, you and your children may have long lives in the country the Lord promised to give your forefathers.
22 Kana mukachenjerera kuchengeta mirayiro yangu iyi yandinokupai kuti mutevere, kuti mude Jehovha Mwari wenyu, kuti mufambe munzira dzake dzose nokubatirira paari,
If you are careful to keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow, if you love the Lord your God and follow all his ways, and hold onto him,
23 ipapo Jehovha achadzinga ndudzi dzose pamberi penyu, uye muchatorera nyika ndudzi dzakakura uye dzine simba kukupfuurai.
then the Lord will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will take over the country from nations that are greater and stronger than you.
24 Nzvimbo ipi neipi yamuchatsika netsoka dzenyu ichava yenyu: Nyika yenyu ichabva kurenje ichisvika kuRebhanoni, uye ichabva kuRwizi Yufuratesi ichisvika kugungwa rokumavirazuva.
Everywhere you walk will belong to you. Your territory will extend from the desert all the way to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
25 Hakuna munhu achagona kumira kuti akurwisei. Jehovha Mwari wenyu sezvaakakuvimbisai, achaita kuti vanhu vakutyei uye vagokuvhundukai munyika yose, kwose kwose kwamunoenda.
No one will be able to withstand you; the Lord your God will make everyone living there absolutely terrified of you wherever you go, just as he promised you.
26 Tarirai, nhasi ndiri kuisa pamberi penyu kuropafadzwa nokutukwa,
Look! Today I'm placing before you both a blessing and a curse.
27 kuropafadzwa kana muchiteerera mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu yandinokupai nhasi;
You will receive a blessing if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm giving you today.
28 kutukwa kana mukasateerera mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu uye mukatsauka kubva panzira yandinokurayirai nhasi muchitevera vamwe vamwari, avo vamusati maziva.
But you will receive a curse if you disobey the commandments of the Lord your God and don't keep to the path I'm ordering you to follow today by worshiping some other unknown gods.
29 Kana Jehovha Mwari wenyu akuendesai munyika yamuri kupinda kuti muitore, munofanira kudaidzira kuropafadzwa kuzhinji paGomo reGerizimu, uye kutukwa kuzhinji paGomo reEbhari.
When the Lord your God takes you into the country you are going in to occupy, announce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
30 Sezvamunoziva, makomo aya ari mhiri kweJorodhani, nechokumavirira kwomugwagwa, makananga kumavirazuva, pedyo nemiti mikuru yeMore, munyika yavaKenani vagere muArabha pedyo neGirigari.
(These mountains are to the west of the Jordan, in the country of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh.)
31 Mava kuda kuyambuka Jorodhani kuti mupinde uye mutore nyika yamuri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu. Kana muchinge maitora uye mava kugaramo,
Shortly you're going to cross the Jordan to enter and occupy the country the Lord your God is giving you. When you take it over and settle there,
32 chenjerai kuti muteerere mitemo nemirayiro yose yandiri kuisa pamberi penyu nhasi.
make sure you follow all the rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
