1 Hapana murume akakuvadzwa manhu ake kana kubviswa nhengo yake achapinda paungano yaJehovha.
No man with crushed or severed genitals may enter the assembly of the LORD.
2 Hapana munhu akaberekwa noupombwe, kana vana vake, anofanira kupinda paungano yaJehovha, kusvikira kuchizvarwa chegumi.
No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation.
3 Hapana muAmoni kana muMoabhu, kana munhu upi worudzi rwake anofanira kupinda paungano yaJehovha, kusvikira kuchizvarwa chegumi.
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.
4 Nokuti havana kuuya kuzokuchingamidzai nechingwa nemvura parwendo rwenyu pamakabuda kubva muIjipiti, uye vakaripa Bharamu mwanakomana waBheori wePetori muAramu Naharaimu kuti akutukei.
For they did not meet you with food and water on your way out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you.
5 Asi, Jehovha Mwari wenyu haana kuteerera Bharamu asi akashandura kutuka akakuropafadzai, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu anokudai.
Yet the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, and the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
6 Usatsvaka rugare kana ushamwari navo mazuva ose oupenyu hwako!
You are not to seek peace or prosperity from them as long as you live.
7 Haufaniri kusema muEdhomu, nokuti ihama yako. Usasema muIjipita nokuti wakagara somutorwa munyika yake.
Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
8 Rudzi rwechitatu rwavana vake runogona harwo kupinda paungano yaJehovha.
The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.
9 Kana muchinge maungana kuti murwe navavengi venyu, zvichengetedzei kubva pazvinhu zvose zvakaipa.
When you are encamped against your enemies, then you shall keep yourself from every wicked thing.
10 Kana mumwe wavarume venyu asina kuchena nokuda kwokuti akazvirotera usiku, anofanira kubuda kunze kwomusasa agareko.
If any man among you becomes unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp and stay outside.
11 Asi kana ava madekwana anofanira kuzvigeza, uye pakuvira kwezuva ngaapinde zvake mumusasa.
When evening approaches, he must wash with water, and when the sun sets he may return to the camp.
12 Munofanira kuva nenzvimbo kunze kwomusasa kwamunofanira kuenda muchinozvibatsira.
You must have a place outside the camp to go and relieve yourself.
13 Sezvo panhumbi dzenyu dzokurwa nadzo paine zvokucheresa, zvino kana uchinge wapedza kuzvibatsira, unofanira kufushira gomba rawazvibatsira.
And you must have a digging tool in your equipment so that when you relieve yourself you can dig a hole and cover up your excrement.
14 Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wako anofamba-famba pamusasa wenyu achikuchengetedzai nokukurwirai kubva kuvavengi venyu. Musasa wenyu unofanira kuva mutsvene, kuitira kuti arege kuona zvisakarurama pakati penyu uye akazokufuratirai.
For the LORD your God walks throughout your camp to protect you and deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, lest He see anything unclean among you and turn away from you.
15 Kana muranda atizira kwauri, usamudzosera kuna tenzi wake.
Do not return a slave to his master if he has taken refuge with you.
16 Murege agare pakati penyu paanoda hake uye muguta ripi raachasarudza. Usamumanikidza.
Let him live among you wherever he chooses, in the town of his pleasing. Do not oppress him.
17 Hakuna muIsraeri, murume kana mukadzi achava mhombwe.
No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute.
18 Hamufaniri kuuya nomubayiro wechifeve kana wemhombwe mumba maJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti mupike nawo. Nokuti zvose izvi zviri zviviri zvinonyangadza Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
You must not bring the wages of a prostitute, whether female or male, into the house of the LORD your God to fulfill any vow, because both are detestable to the LORD your God.
19 Usaripisa hama yako mhindu, ingava yemari kana zvokudya kana chinhu chipi zvacho chaungawane mhindu kubva pachiri.
Do not charge your brother interest on money, food, or any other type of loan.
20 Ungaripisa zvako mutorwa mhindu, asi kwete hama yako muIsraeri, kuitira kuti Jehovha Mwari wako akuropafadze pane zvose zvaungabate noruoko rwako munyika yauri kupinda kuti ive yenyu.
You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything to which you put your hand in the land that you are entering to possess.
21 Kana ukaita mhiko pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako, usanonoka kuiripa, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wako zvirokwazvo achaibvunza kwauri uye uchava nemhosva yechivi.
If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
22 Asi kana ukarega kuita mhiko, haungavi nemhosva.
But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty of sin.
23 Uchenjerere kuti uite zvose zvaunotaura nomuromo wako, nokuti wakaita mhiko nokuda kwako kuna Jehovha Mwari wako nomuromo wako.
Be careful to follow through on what comes from your lips, because you have freely vowed to the LORD your God with your own mouth.
24 Kana ukapinda mumunda womuzambiringa womuvakidzani wako, ungadya mazambiringa ose aunoda asi haufaniri kuisa mamwe mudengu rako.
When you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, but you must not put any in your basket.
25 Kana ukapinda mumunda wezviyo womuvakidzani wako, ungavhuna hako hura noruoko rwako, asi haufaniri kucheka zviyo zvake nejeko.
When you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you must not put a sickle to your neighbor’s grain.
