Dhuteronomi 13
1 Kana muprofita, kana muvuki wezviroto, akasvika pakati penyu uye akakuzivisai chishamiso kana chiratidzo,
“When a prophet or a dreamer of a dream arises in your midst, and he has given a sign or wonder to you,
2 uye kana chiratidzo ichi kana chishamiso chaataura nezvacho chikaitika, uye akati, “Ngatiteverei vamwe vamwari” (vamwari vamusingazivi) “uye ngativanamatei,”
and the sign and the wonder has come to pass, which he has spoken of to you, saying, Let us go after other gods (which you have not known) and 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.
you do not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of the dream, for your God YHWH is trying you to know whether you are loving your God YHWH 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.
you walk after your God YHWH, and you fear Him, and you keep His commands, and you listen to His voice, and you serve Him, and you cleave 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 the dream is put to death, for he has spoken apostasy against your God YHWH (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and has ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which your God YHWH has commanded you to walk, and you have put away evil from your midst.
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,
When your brother, son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who [is] as your own soul, moves you in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (which you have not known, you and your 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 who [are] around you, who are near to you, or who are far off from you, from the end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth),
8 usatenda zvaanotaura kana kumuteerera. Usamunzwira tsitsi. Usamurega ari mupenyu kana kumudzivirira.
you do not consent to him, nor listen to him, nor does your eye have pity on him, nor do you spare, nor do you cover him over.
9 Unotofanira kumuuraya zvirokwazvo. Ruoko rwako ndirwo runofanira kutanga kumuuraya, zvino maoko avamwe vanhu ozotevera pakumuuraya.
But you surely kill him; your hand is on him in the first place to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last;
10 Mutake namabwe afe, nokuti akaedza kukutsausa kubva kuna Jehovha Mwari wako, uyo akakubudisa kubva kuIjipiti, kubva kunyika youranda.
and you have stoned him with stones and he has died, for he has sought to drive you away from your God YHWH, who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
11 Ipapo Israeri yose ichazvinzwa ikatya, uye hapana kana mumwe pakati penyu achazoita chinhu chakaipa kudaro zvakare.
and all Israel hears and fears, and does not add to do like this evil thing in your midst.
12 Kana ukanzwa zvichitaurwa pamusoro perimwe ramaguta amuri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti mugaremo
When you hear [someone] in one of your cities, which your God YHWH is giving to you to dwell there, saying,
13 kuti vanhu vakaipa vamuka pakati penyu uye vatsausa vanhu vomuguta ravo, vachiti, “Handei tindonamata vamwe vamwari,” (vamwari vausina kumboziva),
Men, sons of worthlessness, have gone out of your midst, and they force away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (which you 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 you have inquired, and searched, and asked diligently, and behold, [if] truth, the thing is established; this abomination has been done in your midst—
15 munofanira zvirokwazvo kuuraya nomunondo vanhu vose varo nezvipfuwo zvaro.
you surely strike the inhabitants of that city by the mouth of the sword, devoting it and all that [is] in it, even its livestock, by the mouth 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 you gather all its spoil into the midst of its broad place, and have completely burned the city and all its spoil with fire for your God YHWH, and it has been a continuous heap, it is not built anymore;
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 from any of that [which is] devoted stays in your hand, so that YHWH turns back from the fierceness of His anger, and has given mercies to you, and loved you, and multiplied you, as He has sworn to your fathers,
18 nokuti munoteerera Jehovha Mwari wenyu, muchichengeta mirayiro yandiri kukupai nhasi uye muchiita zvakanaka pamberi pake.
because you listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep all his commands which I am commanding you today, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of your God YHWH.”
