Dhuteronomi 22
1 Kana ukaona nzombe yehama yako kana gwai rake rarasika, usarishayira hanya asi uone kuti waridzorera kwaari.
If you see your brother’s ox or sheep straying, you must not ignore it; be sure to return it to your brother.
2 Kana hama iyi ichigara kure newe kana kuti usingaizivi kuti ndiani, ritore uende naro kumba undorichengeta kusvikira muridzi waro auya achiritsvaga. Ipapo uridzosere kwaari.
If your brother does not live near you, or if you do not know who he is, you are to take the animal home to remain with you until your brother comes seeking it; then you can return it to him.
3 Uite zvimwe chetezvo kana uchinge waona mbongoro yehama yako kana nguo yake kana chinhu chipi zvacho chaanenge arasikirwa nacho. Usachisiya.
And you shall do the same for his donkey, his cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not ignore it.
4 Kana ukaona mbongoro yehama yako kana nzombe yake yakawa panzira, usairega. Ibatsire kuti imire netsoka dzayo.
If you see your brother’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, you must not ignore it; you must help him lift it up.
5 Mukadzi haafaniri kupfeka nguo dzomurume, uye murume haafaniri kupfeka nguo dzomukadzi, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu anonyangadzwa nomunhu anoita izvi.
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
6 Kana ukaona dendere reshiri panzira, ringava riri mumuti kana riri pasi, uye mai vacho vachivhuvatira vana kana mazai, usatora mai pamwe chete navana vacho.
If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along with the young.
7 Unogona kutora vana vacho, asi unofanira kurega mai vacho vaende, kuitira kuti zvikunakire, uye uchava namazuva mazhinji oupenyu.
You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.
8 Kana uchinge wavaka imba itsva, unofanira kuisa rumhanda padenga remba yako kuitira kuti urege kuuyisa mhosva yeropa pamusoro pemba yako kana mumwe munhu azowa kubva padenga rayo.
If you build a new house, you are to construct a railing around your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.
9 Usadyara mbeu dzamarudzi maviri mumunda wako wemizambiringa; kana ukaita izvi hazvisi zvirimwa zvawadyara chete zvasvibiswa asi kuti nezvibereko zvomunda wemizambiringa wako zvakare.
Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; if you do, the entire harvest will be defiled —both the crop you plant and the fruit of your vineyard.
10 Usarima nenzombe nembongoro zvakasungwa pajoko rimwe chete.
Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
11 Usapfeka nguo dzamakushe nomucheka zvakarukwa pamwe chete.
Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
12 Unofanira kuzviitira pfunha pamakona mana enguo yaunopfeka.
You are to make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.
13 Kana munhu akawana mukadzi uye mushure mokuvata naye, akasamufarira,
Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her,
14 akamunyomba uye akamupa zita rakaipa achiti, “Ndakawana mukadzi uyu, asi mushure mokuva naye, ndakamuwana asiri mhandara,”
and he then accuses her of shameful conduct and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and had relations with her, but I discovered she was not a virgin.”
15 ipapo baba namai vomusikana uyu vanofanira kuuya nechiratidzo chokuti aiva mhandara kuvakuru veguta pasuo.
Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate
16 Baba vomusikana uyu vachati kuvakuru, “Ndakapa mwanasikana wangu kuti awanikwe nomurume uyu, asi haana kumufarira.
and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her.
17 Zvino anomunyomba achiti, ‘Handina kuwana mwanasikana wenyu ari mhandara.’ Asi hechi chiratidzo choumhandara hwomwanasikana wangu.” Ipapo vabereki vake vanofanira kuwarira nguo pamberi pavakuru veguta,
And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.
18 uye vakuru vachatora murume uyu vagomuranga.
Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
19 Vachamuripisa mashekeri esirivha anosvika zana vagopa kuna baba vomusikana, nokuti murume uyu apa zita rakaipa kumhandara yeIsraeri. Iye acharamba ari mukadzi wake; haafaniri kumuramba upenyu hwake hwose.
They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20 Asi, kana mhaka iyi iri yechokwadi uye pasina chiratidzo choumhandara hwomusikana uyu,
If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,
21 anofanira kuuyiswa pamukova wemba yababa vake uye ipapo varume veguta vagomutaka namabwe afe. Akaita chinhu chinonyadzisa muIsraeri nokuda kwokupata kwake paaiva achiri mumba mababa vake. Munofanira kubvisa chakaipa pakati penyu.
she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you.
22 Kana murume akawanikwa akavata nomukadzi akawanikwa nomumwe murume, vose vari vaviri murume nomukadzi waakavata naye vanofanira kufa. Munofanira kubvisa chakaipa muIsraeri.
If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
23 Kana murume akasangana muguta nemhandara yakapiwa nduma kuti iwanikwe nomumwe murume uye akavata naye,
If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,
24 munofanira kutora vose vari vaviri mugoenda navo pasuo reguta mugovataka namabwe vafe, musikana nokuda kwokuti akanga ari muguta akasaridza mhere kuti anunurwe, uye murume uyu nokuda kwokuti akakanganisa mukadzi womumwe murume. Munofanira kubvisa chakaipa pakati penyu.
you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.
25 Asi kana murume akasangana nomusikana kunze kusango akamumanikidza kuvata naye, uye achinge akapiwa nduma yokuzowanikwa, murume aita izvi ndiye anofanira kufa chete.
But if the man encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die.
26 Musaita chinhu kumusikana wacho; haana kuita chivi chinofanira rufu. Mhaka iyi yakafanana neyomunhu anorwisa uye agouraya muvakidzani wake.
Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.
27 Nokuti murume uyu akawana musikana uyu kunze musango, uye kunyange musikana uyu akaita mhiko akaridza mhere, pakanga pasina aigona kumununura.
When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.
28 Kana murume akasangana nomusikana asina kupiwa nduma yokuwanikwa akamumanikidza kuvata naye uye vakawanikidzwa,
If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,
29 acharipa baba vomusikana uyu mashekeri makumi mashanu esirivha. Anofanira kuwana musikana wacho, nokuti amukanganisa. Haafaniri kumuramba mazuva ose oupenyu hwake.
then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.
30 Murume haafaniri kuwana mukadzi wababa vake; haafaniri kuzvidza nhoo yababa vake.
A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
