3 Musadya chinhu chipi zvacho chinonyangadza.

4 Idzi ndidzo mhuka dzamungadya: mombe, hwai, mbudzi,
Nanzi izinyamazana elingazidla: inkomo, imvu, imbuzi,
5 nondo, mhara, mhembwe, ngururu, mharapara, nyati nehwai yomugomo.

6 Mungadya henyu mhuka ipi neipi ina mahwanda akaparadzana kuita maviri uye inodzeya.
Lingadla zonke izinyamazana ezilenklagu ezivulekileyo lezentshisayo.
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.
Kodwa-ke kulezo ezilenklagu ezivulekileyo loba lezo ezentshisayo zilani lingadli ikamela, umvundla loba imbila. Zingcolile kini ngokomkhuba.
8 Nguruvewo haina kuchena; kunyange zvayo ina mahwanda akaparadzana, haidzeyi. Hamufaniri kudya nyama yadzo kana kubata zvitunha zvadzo.
Ingulube layo ayihlanzekanga; lanxa ilenklagu ezivulekileyo kayentshisi. Lingabokudla inyama yazo, lingathinti lezidumbu zazo.
9 Pazvipuka zvose zvinogara mumvura, mungadya henyu zvose zvine zvimbi namakwande.
Kuzozonke izidalwa ezihlala emanzini, lingadla zonke lezo ezilempiko lamaxolo.
10 Asi chipi nechipi zvacho chisina zvimbi namakwande hamufaniri kudya; nokuti hachina kuchena.
Kodwa konke lokho okungelampiko lamaxolo akumelanga likudle; kungcolile kini.
11 Mungadya henyu shiri ipi neipi yakachena.
Lingadla loba yiphi inyoni ehlanzekileyo.
12 Asi dzamusingafaniri kudya ndeidzi: gondo, gora, gora dema,
Kodwa lezi lingazidli: ukhozi, ilinqe elimnyama,
13 njerere tsvuku, njerere nhema, rukodzi namarudzi arwo,
uhelwane olubomvu, uhelwane olumnyama, loba yiwuphi umhlobo womzwazwa
14 gunguo namarudzi aro ose,
loba yiphi imihlobo yamawabayi,
15 zizi renyanga, kazizimbori, shiri yegungwa, namarudzi ose eruvangu,
isikhova esilesicholo, ingabuzane, idada lolwandle, loba wuphi umhlobo wokhozi,
16 zizi duku, zizi guru, zizi jena,

17 zizi romurenje, hukurwizi nekanyururahove,
isikhova senkangala, ukhozi lwenhlanzi, itshayamanzi,
18 neshuramurove namarudzi ose ekondo, nemhupupu uye nechiremwaremwa.
ingabuzane, lawuphi umhlobo welanda, imvenduna lomalulwane.
19 Zvipuka zvose zvina mapapiro zvinokambaira hazvina kuchena kwamuri; hamufaniri kuzvidya.
Zonke izibungu eziphaphayo zingcolile kini; lingabozidla.
20 Asi zvipuka zvose zvina mapapiro zvakachena mungadya henyu.
Kodwa konke okulempiko okuhlanzekileyo kudleni.
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.
Lingabokudla ingcuba. Lingakunika loba ngubani owezizweni ohlezi loba kukuliphi phakathi kwamadolobho enu, yena angakudla, ulakho njalo ukuthi angathengisela omunye laye owezizweni. Kodwa lina lingabantu abangcwele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Lingapheki izinyane lembuzi ngochago lukanina.”

“Wobani leqiniso ukuthi libeka eceleni lokhu okuyingxenye eyodwa yetshumi yesivuno somnyaka.
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.
Dlanini okwetshumi kwamabele enu, iwayini elitsha lamafutha, kanye lamazibulo emihlambi yenkomo zenu lawezimvu emehlweni kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni azalikhethela yona ukuba ibe leBizo lakhe, ukuze lifunde ukumphakamisa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngezikhathi zonke.
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),
Kodwa nxa leyondawo ikhatshana kakhulu lina libusisiwe nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njalo lingenelisi ukuthwala okwetshumi kwenu (ngenxa yokuthi lapho uThixo akhethe ukubeka khona iBizo lakhe kukhatshana kakhulu),

27 Uye musazokanganwa vaRevhi vagere mumaguta enyu, nokuti havana mugove kana nhaka yavowo.
Njalo lingakhohlwa abaLevi abahlala emadolobheni enu, ngoba abalaso isabelo esingesabo njalo abaphiwanga ilifa.
28 Panopera makore matatu oga oga, munofanira kuuya nezvegumi zvegore iroro uye mugozvichengetera mumaguta enyu,
Ekupheleni kweminyaka emithathu, lethani okwetshumi kwesivuno salowomnyaka likugcine emadolobheni enu,
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.
yikho kuzakuthi abaLevi (bona abangelasabelo loba ilifa elingelabo) kanye labezizweni, izintandane ezingelaboyise labafelokazi abahlala emadolobheni enu beze labo bazokudla basuthe, njalo kuze kuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alibusise kuyo yonke imisebenzi yezandla zenu.”
