Dhuteronomi 14

1 Imi muri vana vaJehovha Mwari wenyu. Musazvicheka kana kuzviveura pamberi pomusoro muchiitira vakafa,

“You [are] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;

2 nokuti muri rudzi rutsvene kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu. Jehovha akakutsaurai kubva pakati pendudzi dzose dziri panyika kuti muve rudzi rwake runokosha.

for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

3 Musadya chinhu chipi zvacho chinonyangadza.

You do not eat any abomination;

4 Idzi ndidzo mhuka dzamungadya: mombe, hwai, mbudzi,

this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

5 nondo, mhara, mhembwe, ngururu, mharapara, nyati nehwai yomugomo.

deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;

6 Mungadya henyu mhuka ipi neipi ina mahwanda akaparadzana kuita maviri uye inodzeya.

and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

7 Zvisinei, pane idzo dzinodzeya kana dzina mahwanda akaparadzana, mahwanda akanyatsoparadzana, hamufaniri kudya ngamera, tsuro kana mbira. Kunyange zvazvo dzichidzeya hadzina mahwanda akaparadzana; hadzina kuchena kwamuri.

Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—they [are] unclean to you;

8 Nguruvewo haina kuchena; kunyange zvayo ina mahwanda akaparadzana, haidzeyi. Hamufaniri kudya nyama yadzo kana kubata zvitunha zvadzo.

and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.

9 Pazvipuka zvose zvinogara mumvura, mungadya henyu zvose zvine zvimbi namakwande.

This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;

10 Asi chipi nechipi zvacho chisina zvimbi namakwande hamufaniri kudya; nokuti hachina kuchena.

and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.

11 Mungadya henyu shiri ipi neipi yakachena.

Any clean bird you eat;

12 Asi dzamusingafaniri kudya ndeidzi: gondo, gora, gora dema,

and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

13 njerere tsvuku, njerere nhema, rukodzi namarudzi arwo,

and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,

14 gunguo namarudzi aro ose,

and every raven after its kind;

15 zizi renyanga, kazizimbori, shiri yegungwa, namarudzi ose eruvangu,

and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;

16 zizi duku, zizi guru, zizi jena,

the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,

17 zizi romurenje, hukurwizi nekanyururahove,

and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,

18 neshuramurove namarudzi ose ekondo, nemhupupu uye nechiremwaremwa.

and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19 Zvipuka zvose zvina mapapiro zvinokambaira hazvina kuchena kwamuri; hamufaniri kuzvidya.

And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;

20 Asi zvipuka zvose zvina mapapiro zvakachena mungadya henyu.

any clean bird you eat.

21 Musadya chii zvacho chamunoona chakafa. Mungapa zvenyu kumutorwa agere mune rimwe ramaguta enyu, uye angadya zvake kana kuti mungatengesera zvenyu kumutorwa. Asi imi muri rudzi rutsvene kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu. Musabika mbudzana mumukaka wamai vayo.

You do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

22 Chenjera kuti utsaure chegumi chezvinhu zvose zvaunokohwa muminda yako gore negore.

You certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;

23 Udye chegumi chezviyo, newaini itsva namafuta uye nezvibereko zvokutanga zvemombe dzako nezvamakwai ako pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako panzvimbo yaachasarudza kuti Zita rake rigarepo, kuitira kuti udzidze kutya Jehovha Mwari wako nguva dzose.

and you have eaten before your God YHWH, in the place where He chooses to cause His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd, and of your flock, so that you learn to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days.

24 Asi kana nzvimbo yacho iri kure uye waropafadzwa naJehovha Mwari wako, uye usingagoni kutakura chegumi chako (nokuti nzvimbo ichasarudzwa naJehovha kuti Zita rake rigarepo iri kure),

And when the way is too much for you, that you are not able to carry it—when the place is too far off from you which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, when your God YHWH blesses you—

25 ipapo unofanira kutsinhanisa chegumi chako nesirivha, ugotora sirivha ugoenda nayo kunzvimbo ichasarudzwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

then you have given [it] in money, and have bound up the money in your hand, and gone to the place on which your God YHWH fixes;

26 Shandisa sirivha yacho kutenga zvaungada, zvakadai sezvizvi: mombe, makwai, waini kana zvimwe zvokunwa zvinobata, kana chinhu chipi zvacho chaunoda. Ipapo iwe neimba yako muchadya pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu mugofara.

and you have given the money for anything which your soul desires, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for anything which your soul asks for, and you have eaten before your God YHWH there, and you have rejoiced, you and your house.

27 Uye musazokanganwa vaRevhi vagere mumaguta enyu, nokuti havana mugove kana nhaka yavowo.

As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and inheritance with you.

28 Panopera makore matatu oga oga, munofanira kuuya nezvegumi zvegore iroro uye mugozvichengetera mumaguta enyu,

At the end of three years you bring out all the tithe of your increase in that year, and have placed [it] within your gates;

29 kuitira kuti vaRevhi (avo vasina mugove kana nhaka yavowo) uye nomweni, nherera nechirikadzi vanogara mumaguta enyu, vauye vagodya vachiguta, uye kuitira kuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu akuropafadzei pamabasa ose amaoko enyu.

and the Levite has come in—for he has no part and inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hand which you do.”
