Dhuteronomi 6
1 Iyi ndiyo mitemo, nemirayiro zvandakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wenyu kuti ndikudzidzisei kuti muzviite munyika yamunoyambukira Jorodhani kuti ive yenyu,
These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass 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 mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, 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, O Israel, and observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Chinzwa iwe Israeri: Jehovha Mwari wedu, ndiJehovha mumwe chete.
Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.
5 Ida Jehovha Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose nomweya wako wose uye nesimba rako rose.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.
6 Mirayiro iyi yandinokupai nhasi inofanira kuva mumwoyo yenyu.
And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in 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 shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.
8 Isungirirei pamaoko enyu sechiratidzo mugoisungira pahuma dzenyu.
And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.
9 Muinyore pamagwatidziro emikova yedzimba dzenyu uye napamasuo enyu.
And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.
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 thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst 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,
Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,
12 muchenjerere kuti murege kukanganwa Jehovha, akakubudisai kubva muIjipiti, kubva munyika youranda.
And thou shalt have eaten and be full:
13 Itya Jehovha Mwari wako, ushumire iye oga ugoita mhiko dzako muzita rake.
Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.
14 Musatevera vamwe vamwari, vamwari vendudzi dzakakupoteredzai;
You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, 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.
Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.
16 Musaedza Jehovha Mwari wenyu sezvamakaita paMasa.
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.
17 Chenjererai kuchengeta mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wenyu nezvaakatema nemitemo yaakakupai.
Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.
18 Itai zvakarurama nezvakanaka pamberi paJehovha, kuitira kuti zvigokunakirai, mugopinda mugotora nyika yakanaka iyo Jehovha akavimbisa nemhiko kumadzitateguru enyu,
And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,
19 agoparadza vavengi venyu vose pamberi penyu, sezvakataurwa naJehovha.
That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.
20 Panguva inotevera, kana mwanakomana wako akakubvunza achiti, “Ko, zvakatemwa izvi, mitemo nemirayiro yamakarayirwa naJehovha Mwari wedu zvinorevei?”
And when thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?
21 Umuudze kuti, “Takanga tiri varanda vaFaro muIjipiti, asi Jehovha akatibudisa muIjipiti noruoko rune simba.
Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.
22 Jehovha akatumira pamberi pedu zviratidzo nezvishamiso zvinotyisa pamusoro peIjipiti naFaro neimba yake yose.
And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,
23 Asi akatibudisamo kuti atipinze nokutipa nyika yaakavimbisa nemhiko kumadzibaba edu.
And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning 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 the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.
25 Uye kana tichichenjerera kuteerera murayiro uyu wose pamberi paJehovha Mwari wedu, sezvaakatirayira, ndiko kuchava kururama kwedu.”
And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
