Dhuteronomi 14

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

Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any 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 thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.

3 Musadya chinhu chipi zvacho chinonyangadza.

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

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

These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

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

the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois.

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

And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof cloven in two, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye shall eat.

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.

Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney, because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you:

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

and the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcases ye shall not touch.

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

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat:

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

and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you.

11 Mungadya henyu shiri ipi neipi yakachena.

Of all clean birds ye may eat.

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

But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier eagle, and the ospray;

13 njerere tsvuku, njerere nhema, rukodzi namarudzi arwo,

and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite 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 night hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind;

16 zizi duku, zizi guru, zizi jena,

the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl;

17 zizi romurenje, hukurwizi nekanyururahove,

and the pelican, and the 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 all winged creeping things are unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

20 Asi zvipuka zvose zvina mapapiro zvakachena mungadya henyu.

Of all clean fowls ye may 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.

Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk.

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

Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which cometh forth of the field 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 thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.

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 if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God shall bless thee:

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

then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:

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 thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine household:

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

and the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.

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

At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy 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, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
