Dhuteronomi 6
1 Iyi ndiyo mitemo, nemirayiro zvandakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti ndikudzidzisei kuti muzviite munyika yamunoyambukira Jorodhani kuti ive yenyu,
Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it,
2 kuitira kuti iwe, navana vako navana vavo vachavatevera mutye Jehovha Mwari wenyu pakurarama kwenyu nokuchengeta mitemo nemirayiro yake yose yandinokupai, uye kuitira kuti muve namazuva mazhinji okurarama.
that thou might fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life, and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Chinzwa, iwe Israeri, uchenjere kuti uzviite kuitira kuti zvikunakire uye kuti muwande kwazvo munyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi, sezvamakavimbiswa naJehovha, iye Mwari wamadzibaba enyu.
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, has promised to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Chinzwa iwe Israeri: Jehovha Mwari wedu, ndiJehovha mumwe chete.
Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.
5 Ida Jehovha Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose uye nesimba rako rose.
And thou shall love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 Mirayiro iyi yandinokupai nhasi inofanira kuva mumwoyo yenyu.
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart.
7 Zvisimbisei kuvana venyu. Taurai pamusoro payo kana mugere mudzimba dzenyu uye kana muchifamba munzira, kana muchivata pasi uye kana muchimuka.
And thou shall teach them diligently to thy sons, and shall talk of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thou rise up.
8 Isungirirei pamaoko enyu sechiratidzo mugoisungira pahuma dzenyu.
And thou shall bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.
9 Muinyore pamagwatidziro emikova yedzimba dzenyu uye napamasuo enyu.
And thou shall write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
10 Zvino kana Jehovha Mwari wenyu achinge akupinzai munyika yaakapikira kumadzibaba enyu, Abhurahama, naIsaka, naJakobho, kuti achakupai, nyika ina maguta makuru akanaka, amusina kuvaka imi,
And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou did not build,
11 dzimba dzizere nezvinhu zvakanaka zvamarudzi ose zvamusina kutsvaka imi, matsime amusina kuchera, minda yemizambiringa namasango nemiti yemiorivhi yamusina kusima, zvino kana muchinge madya uye mukaguta,
and houses full of all good things, which thou did not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which thou did not hew, vineyards and olive trees, which thou did not plant, and thou shall eat and be full,
12 muchenjerere kuti murege kukanganwa Jehovha, akakubudisai kubva muIjipiti, kubva munyika youranda.
then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 Itya Jehovha Mwari wako, ushumire iye oga ugoita mhiko dzako muzita rake.
Thou shall fear Jehovah thy God, and him thou shall serve, and shall swear by his name.
14 Musatevera vamwe vamwari, vamwari vendudzi dzakakupoteredzai;
Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you,
15 nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu ari pakati penyu ndiMwari ane godo uye hasha dzake dzichapisa pamusoro penyu, uye achakuparadzai kubva pamusoro penyika.
for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God, lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
16 Musaedza Jehovha Mwari wenyu sezvamakaita paMasa.
Ye shall not challenge Jehovah your God, as ye challenged him in Massah.
17 Chenjererai kuchengeta mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu nezvaakatema nemitemo yaakakupai.
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded thee.
18 Itai zvakarurama nezvakanaka pamberi paJehovha, kuitira kuti zvigokunakirai, mugopinda mugotora nyika yakanaka iyo Jehovha akavimbisa nemhiko kumadzitateguru enyu,
And thou shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah, that it may be well with thee, and that thou may go in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore to thy fathers,
19 agoparadza vavengi venyu vose pamberi penyu, sezvakataurwa naJehovha.
to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah has spoken.
20 Panguva inotevera, kana mwanakomana wako akakubvunza achiti, “Ko, zvakatemwa izvi, mitemo nemirayiro yamakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wedu zvinorevei?”
When thy son asks thee in time to come, saying, What is the meaning of the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God has commanded you?
21 Umuudze kuti, “Takanga tiri varanda vaFaro muIjipiti, asi Jehovha akatibudisa muIjipiti noruoko rune simba.
Then thou shall say to thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
22 Jehovha akatumira pamberi pedu zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvinotyisa pamusoro peIjipiti naFaro neimba yake yose.
And Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes.
23 Asi akatibudisamo kuti atipinze nokutipa nyika yaakavimbisa nemhiko kumadzibaba edu.
And he brought us out from there that he might bring us in to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
24 Jehovha akatirayira kuti titeerere mitemo iyi yose nokutya Jehovha Mwari wedu, kuitira kuti tibudirire nguva dzose nokurarama sezvatakaita nhasi.
And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God for our good always, that he might preserve us alive as at this day.
25 Uye kana tichichenjerera kuteerera murayiro uyu wose pamberi paJehovha Mwari wedu, sezvaakatirayira, ndiko kuchava kururama kwedu.”
And it shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God as he has commanded us.
