Dhuteronomi 24
1 Kana murume akawana mukadzi akasafadzwa naye nokuti awana chinhu chisina kufanira paari, akamupa rugwaro rwokumuramba, uye akamudzinga kubva mumba make,
“Suppose a man marries a woman and later decides that he does not want her because there is something about her that he doesn’t like. And suppose he writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he gives the paper to her [SYN] and sends her away from his house.
2 uye kana mushure mokunge abva mumba make akandowanikwa nomumwe murume,
Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
3 uye murume wake wechipiri akasamufarira, akamupa rugwaro rwokumuramba, uye akamudzinga kubva mumba make, kana kuti murume uyu akafa,
and that man [later also] decides that he does not like her, and he also writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he sends her away from his house. Or, suppose that the second husband dies.
4 ipapo murume wake wokutanga, akambomuramba, haabvumirwi kumuwana zvakare mushure mokunge asvibiswa. Izvozvo zvinonyangadza pamberi paJehovha. Musauyisa chivi pamusoro penyika yamuri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu senhaka.
If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting [if he married her again]. You must not sin [MTY] by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
5 Kana murume achangobva kuwana, haafaniri kuendeswa kuhondo kana kupiwa rimwe basa zvaro rokuita. Kwegore rimwe chete anofanira kusununguka kuti agare pamba agofadza mukadzi wake waakawana.
“When some man has recently become married, he must not [be required to] become a soldier in the army or be required to do any other work [for the government] for one year [after being married]. He should stay happily at home with his wife for that year.
6 Usatora guyo kana huyo sorubatso rwechikwereti, nokuti unenge watora zvinoraramisa munhu sorubatso.
“Anyone who lends money to someone else [is allowed to require that person to give him something] to guarantee [that he will pay back the money that he borrowed. But] he must not take from him his (millstone/stone for grinding grain). That would be taking [the millstone that his family needs to grind the grain to make the bread] they need to stay alive.
7 Kana munhu akawanikwa achitapa hama yake yomuIsraeri uye achimubata senhapwa kana kumutengesa, nyakubata munhu anofanira kufa. Munofanira kubvisa chakaipa pakati penyu.
“If someone kidnaps/steals a fellow Israeli to cause that person to become his slave or to sell him [to become someone else’s slave], you must execute the person who did that. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil among you.
8 Muchenjere kwazvo pachirwere chamaperembudzi kuti muite chaizvoizvo zvamakarayirwa navaprista vanova vaRevhi. Munofanira kuchenjerera kutevera zvandakavarayira.
“If you are suffering from (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease), be sure to do everything that the priests, who are from the tribe of Levi, tell you to do. Obey carefully the instructions that I have given to them.
9 Murangarire zvakaitwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuna Miriamu panzira mushure mokunge mabuda muIjipiti.
Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
10 Kana ukakweretesa chinhu chipi zvacho kumuvakidzani wako, usapinda mumba momuvakidzani wako kundotora zvaari kukupa sorubatso.
“When you lend something to someone, do not go into his house to take the cloak that he says that he will give you to guarantee [that he will return what he has borrowed].
11 Gara panze urege munhu wauri kupa chikwereti akuvigire rubatso.
Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
12 Kana munhu uyu ari murombo, usaende kundovata une rubatso rwake.
But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
13 Dzosera jasi rake kwaari pakuvira kwezuva kuti agovata mariri. Ipapo achakutenda, uye zvigoonekwa sokuita kwakarurama pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako.
When the sun sets, take the cloak back to him, in order that he may wear it while he sleeps. If you do that, he will [ask God to] bless you, and Yahweh our God will be pleased with you.
14 Usamanikidza mushandi wako kana ari murombo kana munhu anoshayiwa, hazvinei kuti ihama yako muIsraeri kana kuti mutorwa anogara mune rimwe ramaguta enyu.
“Do not mistreat any servants whom you have hired who are poor and needy [DOU], whether they are Israelis or foreigners who are living in your town.
15 Mupe mubayiro wake zuva risati ravira, nokuti iye murombo akatotarirawo pamugove wake. Nokuti angazochema kuna Jehovha pamusoro pako, uye uchazova nemhosva yokutadza.
Every day, before sunset, you must pay/give them the money that they have earned. They are poor and they need to get their pay. If you do not pay them right away, they will cry out against you to Yahweh, and he will punish [MTY] you for having sinned like that.
16 Madzibaba haafaniri kuurayiwa nokuda kwevana vavo, kana vana kuurayiwa nokuda kwamadzibaba avo; mumwe nomumwe achafira chivi chake.
“Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
17 Usarega kururamisira mutorwa kana nherera, uye usatora nguo yechirikadzi sorubatso.
“You must [LIT] do for foreigners [who live] among you and for orphans what the laws state must be done for them. And [if you lend something to] a widow, do not take her coat from her as a guarantee [that she will return it].
18 Murangarire kuti maimbova varanda muIjipiti uye Jehovha Mwari wenyu akakudzikinurai kubva ikoko. Ndokusaka ndichikurayirai kuti muite izvi.
Do not forget that [you had great hardships/troubles when] you were slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you [to help others who have troubles].
19 Kana uchikohwa munda wako ukakanganwa chisote, usachidzokera kundochitora. Chisiyire mutorwa, nherera kana chirikadzi, kuitira kuti Jehovha Mwari wako agokuropafadza mumabasa ose amaoko ako.
“When you harvest your crops, if you have forgotten [that you left] one bundle in the field, do not go back to get it. [Leave it there] for foreigners, orphans, and widows. If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do.
20 Kana wazunza miti yako yamaorivhi, usandozunzazve rwechipiri. Siyira asara kumutorwa, nherera nechirikadzi.
And when you have harvested/picked all your olives from the trees once, do not go back [to pick the ones that are still] on the trees.
21 Kana uchikohwa mazambiringa mumunda wako womuzambiringa, usadzokorora kukohwa. Siyira zvinosara kumutorwa, nherera nechirikadzi.
[Similarly], when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, do not go back a second time [to try to find more]. Leave them for the foreigners, orphans, and widows [among you].
22 Murangarire kuti maiva varanda muIjipiti. Ndokusaka ndichikurayirai kuti muite izvi.
Do not forget that [Yahweh was kind to you when] you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I am commanding you [to be kind to those who are needy].”
