Dhuteronomi 16

1 Rangarira mwedzi waAbhibhi upemberere Pasika yaJehovha Mwari wako, nokuti mumwedzi waAbhibhi akakubudisa kubva muIjipiti usiku.

Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

2 Bayira Jehovha Mwari wako chipfuwo kubva pamakwai ako kana kubva pamombe dzako sePasika panzvimbo iyo Jehovha achasarudza kuti Zita rake rigarepo.

You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.

3 Usaidya nechingwa chine mbiriso, asi kwamazuva manomwe unofanira kudya chingwa chisina mbiriso, chingwa chokutambudzika, nokuti makabuda muIjipiti muchikurumidza, kuitira kuti murangarire nguva yamakabuda kubva muIjipiti.

You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.

4 Pamazuva manomwe aya ngapasawanikwa mbiriso panyika yenyu yose. Musarega nyama yamunobayira usiku hwezuva rokutanga ichisara kusvikira mangwanani.

No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.

5 Hamufaniri kubayira Pasika mune ripi zvaro ramaguta amunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu,

You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you.

6 kunze kwenzvimbo yaachasarudza kuti Zita rake rigarepo. Ipapo ndipo pamunofanira kubayira Pasika madekwana, kana zuva ravira, nezuva rokurangarira kwamakaita kubva muIjipiti.

You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.

7 Igochei mugoidyira panzvimbo yamuchasarudzirwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti Zita rake rigarepo. Zvino kana ava mangwanani mudzokere kumatende enyu.

And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.

8 Kwamazuva matanhatu mudye chingwa chisina mbiriso uye pazuva rechinomwe munofanira kuita ungano kuna Jehovha Mwari wenyu uye murege kushanda.

For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.

9 Verengai mavhiki manomwe kubva panguva yamunotanga kucheka gorosi.

You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.

10 Ipapo upemberere Jehovha Mwari wako Mutambo waMavhiki nokupa chipo chokuda kwako maererano nokuropafadzwa kwawakaitwa naJehovha Mwari wako.

And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the LORD your God has blessed you,

11 Uye ufare pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako panzvimbo yaachasarudza kuti Zita rake rigarepo, iwe, navanakomana vako navanasikana vako, varandarume vako navarandakadzi vako, navaRevhi vari mumaguta ako, uye navatorwa, nenherera nechirikadzi dzigere pakati penyu.

and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.

12 Rangarirai kuti maiva varanda muIjipiti, uye muchenjerere kuchengeta mirayiro iyi.

Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.

13 Upemberere Mutambo waMatumba mazuva manomwe mushure mokunge wapedza kuunganidza zvawawana paburiro rako napachisviniro chako.

You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.

14 Ufare kwazvo paMutambo wako, iwe, navanakomana vako navanasikana vako, varandarume vako navarandakadzi vako, navaRevhi vari mumaguta ako, uye navatorwa, nenherera nechirikadzi dzigere mumaguta enyu.

And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.

15 Kwamazuva manomwe upemberere Mutambo kuna Jehovha Mwari wako panzvimbo ichasarudzwa naJehovha, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wako achakuropafadza mukukohwa kwako kwose nomubasa rako rose ramaoko ako, uye mufaro wako uchazadziswa.

For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.

16 Katatu pagore varume vose pakati penyu vanofanira kuuya pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu panzvimbo iyo achasarudza: panguva yoMutambo weChingwa Chisina Mbiriso, noMutambo waMavhiki uye noMutambo waMatumba. Hapana munhu anofanira kuuya asina chaakabata pamberi paJehovha:

Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.

17 Mumwe nomumwe wenyu anofanira kuuya nechipo chakaenzanirana nokuropafadzwa kwaakaitwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu.

Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.

18 Gadzai vatongi navakuru kurudzi rumwe norumwe rwenyu muguta rimwe nerimwe ramuri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu, uye vagotonga vanhu nokutonga kwakanaka.

You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.

19 Musatsauka pakururamisira uye musaita rusarura. Musagamuchira fufuro, nokuti fufuro rinopofumadza meso owakachenjera uye rinominamisa mashoko avakarurama.

Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

20 Teverai kururamisira uye kururamisira chete, kuitira kuti mugorarama uye mugotora nyika yamuri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu.

Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

21 Musazvimisira matanda api zvawo aAshera parutivi pearitari yamunovakira Jehovha Mwari wenyu.

Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,

22 Uye musamisa dombo rinoera, nokuti izvi Jehovha Mwari wenyu anozvivenga.

and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
