Dhuteronomi 6
1 Iyi ndiyo mitemo, nemirayiro zvandakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti ndikudzidzisei kuti muzviite munyika yamunoyambukira Jorodhani kuti ive yenyu,
These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess,
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.
so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your 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, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
4 Chinzwa iwe Israeri: Jehovha Mwari wedu, ndiJehovha mumwe chete.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.
5 Ida Jehovha Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose uye nesimba rako rose.
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6 Mirayiro iyi yandinokupai nhasi inofanira kuva mumwoyo yenyu.
These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.
7 Zvisimbisei kuvana venyu. Taurai pamusoro payo kana mugere mudzimba dzenyu uye kana muchifamba munzira, kana muchivata pasi uye kana muchimuka.
And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
8 Isungirirei pamaoko enyu sechiratidzo mugoisungira pahuma dzenyu.
Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
9 Muinyore pamagwatidziro emikova yedzimba dzenyu uye napamasuo enyu.
Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your 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 when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you 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,
with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,
12 muchenjerere kuti murege kukanganwa Jehovha, akakubudisai kubva muIjipiti, kubva munyika youranda.
be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
13 Itya Jehovha Mwari wako, ushumire iye oga ugoita mhiko dzako muzita rake.
Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.
14 Musatevera vamwe vamwari, vamwari vendudzi dzakakupoteredzai;
Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.
15 nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu ari pakati penyu ndiMwari ane godo uye hasha dzake dzichapisa pamusoro penyu, uye achakuparadzai kubva pamusoro penyika.
For the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.
16 Musaedza Jehovha Mwari wenyu sezvamakaita paMasa.
Do not test the LORD your God as you tested Him at Massah.
17 Chenjererai kuchengeta mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu nezvaakatema nemitemo yaakakupai.
You are to diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and the testimonies and statutes He has given you.
18 Itai zvakarurama nezvakanaka pamberi paJehovha, kuitira kuti zvigokunakirai, mugopinda mugotora nyika yakanaka iyo Jehovha akavimbisa nemhiko kumadzitateguru enyu,
Do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, so that it may be well with you and that you may enter and possess the good land that the LORD your God swore to give your fathers,
19 agoparadza vavengi venyu vose pamberi penyu, sezvakataurwa naJehovha.
driving out all your enemies before you, as the LORD has said.
20 Panguva inotevera, kana mwanakomana wako akakubvunza achiti, “Ko, zvakatemwa izvi, mitemo nemirayiro yamakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wedu zvinorevei?”
In the future, when your son asks, “What is the meaning of the decrees and statutes and ordinances that the LORD our God has commanded you?”
21 Umuudze kuti, “Takanga tiri varanda vaFaro muIjipiti, asi Jehovha akatibudisa muIjipiti noruoko rune simba.
then you are to tell him, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
22 Jehovha akatumira pamberi pedu zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvinotyisa pamusoro peIjipiti naFaro neimba yake yose.
Before our eyes the LORD inflicted great and devastating signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household.
23 Asi akatibudisamo kuti atipinze nokutipa nyika yaakavimbisa nemhiko kumadzibaba edu.
But He brought us out from there to lead us in and give us the land that He had sworn to our fathers.
24 Jehovha akatirayira kuti titeerere mitemo iyi yose nokutya Jehovha Mwari wedu, kuitira kuti tibudirire nguva dzose nokurarama sezvatakaita nhasi.
And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, that we may always be prosperous and preserved, as we are to this day.
25 Uye kana tichichenjerera kuteerera murayiro uyu wose pamberi paJehovha Mwari wedu, sezvaakatirayira, ndiko kuchava kururama kwedu.”
And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness.”
