Dhuteronomi 13
1 Kana muprofita, kana muvuki wezviroto, akasvika pakati penyu uye akakuzivisai chishamiso kana chiratidzo,
If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives thee a sign or a wonder,
2 uye kana chiratidzo ichi kana chishamiso chaataura nezvacho chikaitika, uye akati, “Ngatiteverei vamwe vamwari” (vamwari vamusingazivi) “uye ngativanamatei,”
and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou have not known, and let us serve them,
3 hamufaniri kuteerera mashoko omuprofita kana muroti uyo. Jehovha Mwari wenyu ari kukuedzai kuti aone kana muchimuda nomwoyo wenyu wose uye nomweya wenyu wose.
thou shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams, for Jehovah your God proves you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 NdiJehovha Mwari wenyu wamunofanira kutevera, uye ndiye wamunofanira kukudza. Chengetai mirayiro yake mugomuteerera; mumushumire uye munamatire kwaari.
Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cling to him.
5 Muprofita kana muroti uyo anofanira kuurayiwa, nokuti akaparidza kumukira Jehovha Mwari wenyu, akakubudisai kubva muIjipiti uye akakudzikinurai kubva munyika youranda; akaedza kukutsausai kubva panzira yaJehovha Mwari wenyu yamakarayirwa kuti muitevere. Munofanira kubvisa chakaipa pakati penyu.
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
6 Kana hama yako chaiyo, kana mwanakomana wako kana mwanasikana wako, kana mudzimai wako waunoda, kana shamwari yako yepedyo ikauya kuzokutsausa muchivande, ichiti, “Handei tindonamata vamwe vamwari,” (vamwari vausina kumboziva iwe kana madzibaba ako,
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is as thine own soul, entices thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou, nor thy fathers,
7 vamwari vendudzi dzakakupoteredzai, kunyange vari pedyo kana vari kure, kubva kuno rumwe rutivi rwenyika kusvika kuno rumwe rutivi rwenyika),
of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth,
8 usatenda zvaanotaura kana kumuteerera. Usamunzwira tsitsi. Usamurega ari mupenyu kana kumudzivirira.
thou shall not consent to him, nor hearken to him. Neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shall thou spare, neither shall thou conceal him,
9 Unotofanira kumuuraya zvirokwazvo. Ruoko rwako ndirwo runofanira kutanga kumuuraya, zvino maoko avamwe vanhu ozotevera pakumuuraya.
but thou shall surely kill him. Thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 Mutake namabwe afe, nokuti akaedza kukutsausa kubva kuna Jehovha Mwari wako, uyo akakubudisa kubva kuIjipiti, kubva kunyika youranda.
And thou shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Ipapo Israeri yose ichazvinzwa ikatya, uye hapana kana mumwe pakati penyu achazoita chinhu chakaipa kudaro zvakare.
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall no more do any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.
12 Kana ukanzwa zvichitaurwa pamusoro perimwe ramaguta amuri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti mugaremo
If thou shall hear tell concerning one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God gives thee to dwell there, saying,
13 kuti vanhu vakaipa vamuka pakati penyu uye vatsausa vanhu vomuguta ravo, vachiti, “Handei tindonamata vamwe vamwari,” (vamwari vausina kumboziva),
Certain base fellows have gone out from the midst of thee, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known,
14 ipapo unofanira kubvunzisisa, nokutsvakisisa uye nokuferefeta kwazvo. Zvino kana zviri zvechokwadi uye zvanyatsoonekwa kuti ndizvo, kuti chinhu ichi chinonyangadza chakaitwa pakati penyu,
then thou shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently. And, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee,
15 munofanira zvirokwazvo kuuraya nomunondo vanhu vose varo nezvipfuwo zvaro.
thou shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it, and the cattle in it, with the edge of the sword.
16 Unganidzai zvose zvakapambwa zveguta pakati poruvazhe mugopisa chose guta uye nazvose zvakapambwa zvaro sechipiriso chinopiswa kuna Jehovha Mwari wako. Rinofanira kugara riri dongo nokusingaperi, risingazovakwizve.
And thou shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street of it, and shall burn the city with fire, and all the spoil of it, every whit, to Jehovah thy God, and it shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
17 Ngapasava nechimwe chezvinhu izvo zvakatongwa chinoonekwa mumaoko enyu, kuti Jehovha adzore kutsamwa kwake kukuru; achakunzwirai tsitsi, agokunzwirai ngoni uye achakuwedzerai uwandu hwenyu, sezvaakakuvimbisai nemhiko kumadzitateguru enyu,
And nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to thy hand, that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he has sworn to thy fathers,
18 nokuti munoteerera Jehovha Mwari wenyu, muchichengeta mirayiro yandiri kukupai nhasi uye muchiita zvakanaka pamberi pake.
when thou shall hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
