“I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
2 uye kana iwe navana vako ukadzokera kuna Jehovha Mwari wako ukamutereera nomwoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose maererano nezvose zvandakurayirai nhasi,
Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
3 ipapo Jehovha Mwari wenyu achakudzorerai pfuma yenyu agokunzwirai tsitsi nokukuunganidzai kubva kundudzi dzose kwaakakuparadzirai.
he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
4 Kunyange dai manga makarasirwa kunyika iri kure kwazvo pasi pedenga, kubva ikoko Jehovha Mwari wenyu achakuunganidzai uye agokudzosai.
Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
5 Achakudzosai kunyika yamadzibaba enyu, uye muchaitora igova yenyu. Achakuitai kuti munyanyobudirira uye muwande kupfuura madzibaba enyu.
He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
6 Jehovha Mwari wenyu achadzingisa mwoyo yenyu nemwoyo yezvizvarwa zvenyu, kuitira kuti mugomuda nomwoyo wenyu wose uye nomweya wenyu wose, mugorarama.
Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
7 Jehovha Mwari wenyu achaisa kutukwa uku kwose pamusoro pavavengi venyu vanokuvengai nokukutambudzai.
Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
8 Muchateererazve Jehovha uye muchatevera mirayiro yake yose yandiri kukupai nhasi.
You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
9 Ipapo Jehovha Mwari wako achakupfumisa zvikuru mumabasa ose amaoko ako nechibereko chomuviri wako, nezvibereko zvezvipfuwo zvako uye nezvibereko zvevhu rako. Jehovha achafadzwazve newe agokupfumisa, sokufadzwa kwaakaitwa namadzibaba ako,
Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
10 kana ukateerera Jehovha Mwari wako uye ukachengeta mirayiro yake nemitemo yake yakanyorwa mubhuku iri roMurayiro uye ukadzoka kuna Jehovha Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose.
[But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
11 Zvino zvandiri kukurayirai nhasi hazvina kunyanya kukuomerai kana kuva kure nemi.
The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
12 Hauzi kudenga, zvokuti mungabvunza muchiti, “Ndiani achatikwirira kudenga kundoutora agotiparidzira kuti tiuite?”
They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
13 Kana kuti uri mhiri kwegungwa zvokuti mungabvunza muchiti, “Ndiani angatiyambukira mhiri kundotitorera kuti atiparidzire kuti tiuite.”
And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
14 Kwete, shoko riri pedyo newe kwazvo; riri mumuromo mako nomumwoyo mako kuti uriite.
[You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
15 Tarira, ndaisa pamberi pako nhasi upenyu noupfumi, uye rufu nokuparadzwa.
So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
16 Nokuti ndinokurayira kuti ude Jehovha Mwari wako nhasi, kuti ufambe munzira dzake nguva dzose uye uchengete zvaakarayira, mitemo nemirayiro yake; ipapo uchararama ugowanda, uye Jehovha Mwari wako achakuropafadza munyika yauri kupinda kuti uitore.
[I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
17 Asi kana mwoyo wako ukatsauka uye kana usingateereri, uye kana ukakwezvwa kuti undopfugamira vamwe vamwari ugovanamata,
But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
18 ndinokuudza nhasi kuti uchaparadzwa zvirokwazvo. Haungararami kwenguva refu munyika yamuri kuyambuka Jorodhani kuti mupinde mugoitora.
I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
19 Nhasi uno ndinodana denga nenyika kuti zvikupupurirei kuti ndaisa pamberi penyu upenyu nerufu, maropafadzo nokutukwa. Zvino sarudza upenyu, kuitira kuti iwe navana vako mugorarama.
I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
20 Uye ugoda Jehovha Mwari wako, uteerere inzwi rake, uye ugobatirira paari. Nokuti Jehovha ndiye upenyu hwako, uye achakupa makore mazhinji munyika yaakapika kuti achaipa kumadzibaba enyu Abhurahama, Isaka naJakobho.
[Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
