Dhuteronomi 28
1 Kana muchiteerera zvakanaka Jehovha Mwari wenyu nokuchenjerera kutevera mirayiro yake yose yandinokupai nhasi, Jehovha Mwari wenyu achakuisai pamusoro-soro pendudzi dzose dzapanyika.
If you truly obey what the Lord your God tells you, and carefully follow all his commandments that I'm giving you today, then the Lord your God will place you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 Maropafadzo aya ose achauya pamusoro penyu uye achava nemi kana muchiteerera Jehovha Mwari:
You will have all the following blessings and even more, if you do what the Lord your God says.
3 Ucharopafadzwa muguta uye ucharopafadzwa mumunda.
You will be blessed when you're in the town; you will be blessed when you're in the countryside.
4 Zvibereko zvomuviri wako zvicharopafadzwa, uye zvibereko zvevhu rako nezvibereko zvemombe dzako, mhuru dzemhou dzako uye namakwayana amakwai ako.
You will be blessed with many children. You will be blessed with good harvests. You will be blessed with livestock—your cattle will have many calves, and your sheep will have many lambs.
5 Dengu rako nomudziyo waunokanyira chingwa zvicharopafadzwa.
You will be blessed with plenty of bread.
6 Ucharopafadzwa kana uchipinda uye ucharopafadzwa kana uchibuda.
You will be blessed wherever you go and in everything you do.
7 Jehovha achaita kuti vavengi vako, vanokumukira kuti vakurwise, vakundwe pamberi pako. Vachauya kwauri nenzira imwe chete asi vagotiza vachibva kwauri nenzira nomwe.
The Lord will defeat the enemies who come to attack you. They will come at you from one direction, but they will scatter seven different ways.
8 Jehovha achakutumira kuropafadzwa pamatura ako uye nepane zvose zvauchabata namaoko ako. Jehovha Mwari wako achakuropafadza munyika yaari kukupa.
The Lord will bless your income and everything you do. The Lord your God will bless you in the country he is giving you.
9 Jehovha achakusimbisai sorudzi rwake rutsvene, sezvaakakuvimbisai nemhiko, kana mukachengeta mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu uye mukafamba munzira dzake.
The Lord will make you his holy people, just as he promised you, if you obey the Lord your God's commandments and follow his ways.
10 Ipapo marudzi ose ari panyika achazviona kuti munodanwa nezita raJehovha, uye vachakutyai.
Then everyone on earth will see that the Lord has chosen you to be his, and they will be afraid of you.
11 Jehovha achakupa pfuma zhinji, muzvibereko zvomuviri wako, zvibereko zvezvipfuwo zvako uye nezvirimwa zvevhu rako, munyika yaakapikira kumadzitateguru ako kuti achakupa.
The Lord will make you very prosperous. You will have many children, your livestock will produce plenty of young, and your land will grow good harvests—all this in the country the Lord promised your forefathers he would give you.
12 Jehovha achazarura matenga, matura ake epfuma zhinji, kuti atumire mvura panyika yako nenguva uye acharopafadza mabasa ose amaoko ako. Iwe uchakweretesa ndudzi zhinji asi iwe haungakwereti.
The Lord will provide rain for your land at the right time from his heavenly storehouse to bless all your work growing crops. You will lend money to many nations but you won't need to borrow from any of them.
13 Jehovha achakuita musoro, kwete muswe. Kana ukanyatsoteerera kumirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wako yandinokupa nhasi uye ukachenjerera kuitevera, ucharamba uri pamusoro chete, haungavi pasi.
The Lord will put you in first place, not the last. You will only go up, never down, as long as you listen to and follow carefully the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm giving you today.
14 Usatsauka kubva pane mumwe wemirayiro yandinokupa nhasi, kutsaukira kurudyi kana kuruboshwe, uchitevera vamwe vamwari kuti uvashumire.
Don't deviate from any of my instructions today. Don't go and worship other gods.
15 Asi, kana usingateereri Jehovha Mwari wako uye usingachenjereri kutevera mirayiro yake yose nemitemo yandinokupa nhasi, kutukwa kwose uku kuchava pamusoro pako, uchakundwa nako:
But if you don't obey the Lord your God by following carefully all his commandments and regulations I'm giving you today, then you will experience all the following curses and more:
16 Uchatukwa muguta uye uchatukwa mumunda.
You will be cursed when you're in the town; you will be cursed when you're in the countryside.
17 Dengu rako nomudziyo wako wokukanyira chingwa zvichatukwa.
You will be cursed by not having bread.
18 Chibereko chomuviri wako chichatukwa, uye zvirimwa zvevhu rako, nemhuru dzemhou dzako namakwayana amakwai ako.
You will be cursed by not having children, and by not having good harvests, and by your cattle not having calves, and your sheep not having lambs.
19 Uchatukwa kana uchipinda uye uchatukwa kana uchibuda.
You will be cursed wherever you go and in everything you do.
20 Jehovha achatuma kutukwa pamusoro pako, nokunyonganiswa uye nokurangwa pazvinhu zvose zvaunobata namaoko ako, kusvikira waparadzwa uye kusvikira waparara nokukurumidza nokuda kwezvakaipa zvawakaita zvokumuramba.
The Lord will send you curses, making you confused and frustrated in everything you do, until you are brought down and die quickly because of the evil that you've done by abandoning him.
21 Jehovha achakurova nedenda nezvirwere kusvikira akuparadza kubva panyika yauri kupinda kuti uitore.
The Lord will give you infectious diseases until he has wiped you out from the country you are entering town.
22 Jehovha achakurova nechirwere chinoondesa, nefivha nokupisa kwomuviri, nokupisa kukuru, nokusanaya kwemvura nenyunje, nokuvhuvha, uye zvichakutevera kusvikira waparara.
Then Lord will hit you with sickness that makes you waste away, with a severe fever and swelling like you're burning up, while your crops are damaged by drought and blight and mildew. These will attack you until you die.
23 Denga riri pamusoro pako richaita sendarira, nenyika iri pasi pako sedare.
The sky above you will be like bronze, and the earth beneath you will be like iron.
24 Jehovha achashandura mvura yenyika yako ikava guruva nemhukuta; richanaya kubva kudenga kusvikira waparadzwa.
The Lord will change the rain of your land into dust and sand; it will fall from the sky on you until you're destroyed.
25 Jehovha achaita kuti mukundwe navavengi venyu. Muchauya nenzira imwe chete kuzorwa navo asi mugotiza pamberi pavo nenzira nomwe, uye muchava chinhu chinotyisa kumarudzi ose apanyika.
The Lord will have your enemies defeat you. You will attack them from one direction, but you will scatter seven different ways. Everyone on earth will be horrified at what happens to you.
26 Zvitunha zvenyu zvichava zvokudya zveshiri dzedenga nezvikara zvenyika, uye hapana achazvidzinga.
Your dead bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals, and there won't be anyone to scare them away.
27 Jehovha achakurovai namamota eIjipiti uye namaronda, nemhezi nokuswinya zvicharamba kupora.
The Lord will give you boils like he did to the Egyptians, with swellings and scabs and skin rashes that can't be cured.
28 Jehovha achakurovai nokupenga, upofu nokunyonganiswa kwepfungwa.
The Lord will send you mad and make you blind and confused,
29 Panguva yamasikati uchatsvanzvadzira sebofu murima. Haungabudiriri pane zvose zvauchaita; zuva nezuva uchamanikidzwa uye uchabirwa pasina anokununura.
so that even at noon you will be groping around like a blind man in the dark. You won't be successful in what you do. You'll be persecuted and robbed the whole time, and no one will come and save you.
30 Uchatsidzirana nomukadzi kuti umuwane, asi mumwe murume achamuwana agovata naye. Uchavaka imba asi haungagarimo. Uchasima munda womuzambiringa asi haungatongotangi kana kudya michero yawo.
You will be engaged to marry a woman, but another man will sleep with her. You will build a house but you won't live in it. You will plant a vineyard but won't benefit from any harvest.
31 Nzombe yako ichaurayiwa pamberi pako, asi haungadyi nyama yacho. Mbongoro yako ichatorwa nechisimba kubva kwauri uye haizodzorerwi. Makwai ako achapiwa kuvavengi vako, uye hapana achaanunura.
Your ox will be slaughtered right in front of you, but you won't eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away and won't be returned to you. Your sheep will be taken by your enemies, and no one will come and save you.
32 Vanakomana vako navanasikana vako vachapiwa kuno rumwe rudzi, uye meso ako achaneta nokuvatsvaka zuva nezuva, usisina kana simba rokusimudza ruoko.
Your sons and daughters will be taken away as slaves to other nations while you watch, and you'll wear your eyes out crying over them, but there won't be anything you can do about it.
33 Rudzi rwausingazivi ruchadya zvibereko zvevhu rako nesimba rako, uye uchava nokumanikidzwa kuno utsinye mazuva ose.
A foreign nation you've never heard of will eat all the crops you worked so hard to grow. You will be continually persecuted and downtrodden.
34 Zvauchaona zvichakupengesa.
What you see will drive you mad.
35 Jehovha achakurova mumabvi nomumakumbo namamota anorwadza asingarapiki, achibva pasi petsoka dzako kusvikira pamusoro pomusoro wako.
The Lord will give you painful boils that can't be cured on your knees and thighs, in fact from head to toe.
36 Jehovha achakudzingirai, imi namambo wamakagadza kuti akutongei, kunyika yamusingazivi imi kana madzibaba enyu, ikoko muchandonamata vamwe vamwari, vamwari vamatanda namabwe.
The Lord will exile you and your chosen king you to a foreign nation that neither you nor your forefathers had ever heard of. There you will worship other gods, idols made of wood and stone.
37 Muchava chinhu chinotyisa, chinhu chinotukwa uye chinozvidzwa kundudzi dzose kwamuchadzingirwa naJehovha.
You will be something that horrifies all the nations where you've been exiled by the Lord. They will laugh at you and ridicule you.
38 Uchadyara mbeu yakawanda mumunda mako asi uchakohwa zvishoma, nokuti zvichaparadzwa nemhashu.
You will sow a lot of seed in the field, but harvest very little because the locusts will destroy it.
39 Ucharima minda yemizambiringa ugoitimbira, asi haunganwi waini yacho kana kutanha mazambiringa acho, nokuti achadyiwa namakonye.
You will plant and vineyards and care for them, but you won't harvest the grapes or drink the wine, because they'll be eaten by maggots.
40 Muchava nemiti yemiorivhi munyika yenyu yose asi haungashandisi mafuta acho, nokuti miorivhi yako ichazuka.
You will have olive trees all over the country but you won't have any olive oil to use, because the olives will drop early from the trees.
41 Uchabereka vanakomana navanasikana asi haungavachengeti, nokuti vachaenda kuutapwa.
You will have sons and daughters, but you won't have them for long, because they will be taken off into captivity as slaves.
42 Miti yako yose nezvibereko zvevhu rako zvose zvichadyiwa nemhashu.
Locust swarms will destroy all your trees and crops.
43 Mutorwa anogara pakati penyu acharamba achibudirira kupfuura iwe, asi iwe ucharamba uchidzikira pasi pasi.
Foreigners who live with you will rise higher and higher in status above you, while you sink lower and lower.
44 Achakukweretesa, asi iwe haungamukweretesi. Achava musoro asi iwe uchava muswe.
They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the first, and you will be the last.
45 Kutukwa kwose uku kuchauya pamusoro pako. Vachakutevera vagokubata kusvikira vakuparadza, nokuti hauna kuteerera Jehovha Mwari wako nokuchengeta mirayiro nemitemo yake yaakakupa.
All these curses will come down on you. They will chase after you and attack you until you die because you did not obey the Lord your God and keep the commandments and regulations he gave you.
46 Ivo vachava chiratidzo nechishamiso kwamuri uye nokuzvizvarwa zvenyu nokusingaperi.
They will be lasting evidence, visible signs of what happened to you and your descendants.
47 Nokuti hamuna kushumira Jehovha Mwari wenyu nomufaro nokupembera panguva yokubudirira,
Because you did not serve the Lord your God with happiness and with a joyful attitude,
48 naizvozvo munzara nenyota, mukushama nomuurombo hwakaipisisa, muchashandira vavengi vakatumwa naJehovha kuzokurwisai. Achaisa joko resimbi pamutsipa wako kusvikira akuparadza.
you will serve your enemies that the Lord sends to attack you with hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty. He will tie an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
49 Jehovha achauyisa rudzi kubva kure kuzokurwisai, kubva kumigumo yenyika, segondo rinobhururuka, rudzi rune mutauro wamusinganzwisisi,
The Lord will bring a nation to attack you from a long way off, from the ends of the earth. They will swoop down upon you like an eagle, this nation whose language you won't understand.
50 rudzi runotyisa kutarisa rusingakudzi vatana kana kunzwira tsitsi vaduku.
They are a ruthless nation who don't respect for the old and have no mercy on the young.
51 Vachaparadza zvibereko zvezvipfuwo zvenyu nezvirimwa zveminda yenyu kusvikira maparadzwa. Havangakusiyirei zviyo, waini itsva kana mafuta, kunyange mhuru dzemhou dzenyu kana makwayana amakwai enyu kusvikira maparadzwa.
They will eat your lambs and calves and the crops you've grown until you are destroyed. They won't leave you any grain or new wine or olive oil, no calves from your herds or lambs from your flocks, so you'll die of starvation.
52 Vachakomba maguta ose munyika yenyu yose kusvikira masvingo marefu amunovimba nawo awira pasi. Vachakomba maguta ose ari munyika yenyu yose yamuri kupiwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu.
They will besiege all the towns in your country, until the high, fortified walls that you trust in have fallen. They will besiege all your towns in your country that the Lord your God has given you.
53 Nokuda kwokutambudzwa nomuvengi panguva yaachakukombai, muchadya zvibereko zvezvizvaro zvenyu, nyama yavanakomana navanasikana vamakapiwa naJehovha.
You'll end up eating your children, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God gave you, because of the siege and the suffering that your enemy will cause you.
54 Kunyange munhu uya munyoro anonzwisisa pakati penyu haazovi netsitsi kuhama yake chaiyo kana kumukadzi wake waanoda kana kuvana vake vaanoda vapenyu,
The kindest and most sensitive man among you will refuse to share his food with his brother, the wife he loves, and those of his own children who are left.
55 uye haangapi kune mumwe wavo nyama yevana vake yaari kudya. Ndiyo yoga yaachange asarirwa nayo nokuda kwokutambudzwa kwamuchaitwa nomuvengi wenyu panguva yaachakomba maguta enyu ose.
He will refuse to share with any of them the flesh of his children that he's forced to eat because he doesn't have anything else because of the siege and suffering your enemy has caused you in all your towns.
56 Mukadzi ane unyoro uye anonzwisisa pakati penyu, ane unyoro nokunzwisisa zvokuti haangatsiki pasi norutsoka rwake pakati penyu, achava nomufungo wakaipa kumurume waanoda nokumwanakomana kana mwanasikana wake
The kindest and most sensitive woman among you, so kind and sensitive she wouldn't ever go barefoot on the ground, will refuse to share her food, a baby and its afterbirth, with the husband she loves and her own son and daughter.
57 achangobva kuzvarwa kubva muchizvaro chake uye nevana vaanobereka. Nokuti anenge achida kuzovadya pakavanzika panguva yokukombwa nokutambudzwa kwamuchaitwa nomuvengi wenyu muri mumaguta enyu.
She will even secretly eat her the babies she gives birth to and the afterbirth, since she doesn't have anything else because of the siege and suffering your enemy has caused you in all your towns,
58 Kana mukasachenjerera kutevera mashoko ose omurayiro uyu, akanyorwa mubhuku iri, uye mukasatya zita iri rinobwinya uye rinotyisa,
If you don't carefully observe all these laws written down in this book so that you may show respect for this glorious and awesome Lord your God,
59 Jehovha achatumira hosha dzinotyisa pamusoro penyu imi nezvizvarwa zvenyu, njodzi namatambudziko asingaperi, nezvirwere zvakaipisisa zvisingaperi.
he will bring down on you and your descendants unbelievable disasters, intense and long-lasting diseases, and terrible and incurable sicknesses.
60 Achauyisa hosha dzose dzokuIjipiti pamusoro penyu, idzo dzamunotya, uye dzichabatirira pamuri.
He will give you all the diseases you were terrified of in Egypt, and they will stay with you.
61 Jehovha achauyisawo pamusoro penyu zvirwere zvamarudzi ose nenjodzi dzisina kunyorwa muBhuku iri roMurayiro, kusvikira maparadzwa.
The Lord will also give you every sickness and disease, even those not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
62 Imi maimbova makawanda senyeredzi dzokudenga muchasara mangova vashoma, nokuti hamuna kuteerera Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
You who grew as numerous as the stars in the sky will end up as only a few, because you would not obey what Lord your God told you.
63 Sezvazvakafadza Jehovha kuti imi mubudirire uye muwande, naizvozvo zvichamufadza kuti akuitirei zvakaipa uye akuparadzei. Muchadzurwa kubva munyika yamuri kupinda kuti ive yenyu.
In the same way as he wanted to make you prosperous and increase in number, so now he will wipe you out and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the country you are going in to own.
64 Jehovha achakuparadzirai pakati pendudzi, kubva kuno rumwe rutivi rwenyika kusvika kuno rumwe. Ikoko muchanamata vamwe vamwari, vamwari vamatanda namabwe, vamusina kumboziva imi kana madzibaba enyu.
The Lord will scatter you among the nations all over the earth, and there you will worship other gods, gods made of wood and stone, which you and your fathers had never heard of.
65 Pakati pendudzi idzodzo haungawani zororo, kana nzvimbo yokuisa rutsoka rwako. Ikoko Jehovha achakupa kufunganya, meso akaneta nokutarisira uye nokuora mwoyo.
You won't find any place to rest among those nations, no place of your own. The Lord will make you anxious, with failing eyesight and a mind full of despair.
66 Uchararama upenyu hwako hwakarembera nguva dzose, wakazadzwa nokutya usiku namasikati, usina chokwadi pamusoro poupenyu hwako.
You will see your life hanging in the balance as you doubt. You will be afraid day and night, terrified you won't survive.
67 Mangwanani muchati, “Dai chete anga ari madekwana!” uye madekwana muchati, “Dai chete anga ari mangwanani!”—nokuda kwokutya kuchazadza mwoyo yenyu nokuda kwezvinhu zvamuchaona nameso enyu.
In the morning you'll say, “I wish it was evening!” and in the evening you'll say, “I wish it was morning!” because you're so frightened by the terrifying things you see.
68 Jehovha achakudzoserai kuIjipiti muri muzvikepe parwendo rwandakati hamufaniri kuzoruonazve. Ikoko muchada kuzvitengesa kuvavengi venyu savarandarume kana varandakadzi, asi hapana angada kukutengai.
The Lord will send you back to Egypt in ships to a place that I said you weren't ever meant to see again. You will put yourselves on sale there to your enemies as male and female slaves, but nobody will want to buy you.
