Ekisodho 23
1 “Usaparadzira mashoko enhema. Usabatsira munhu akaipa nokuva chapupu chakaipa.
You shall not raise a false report: put not your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 “Usatevedzera vanhu vazhinji pakuita zvakaipa. Paunopa umboo mudare redzimhosva, usaminamisa kururamisira uchienda kurutivi rworuzhinji,
You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
3 uye usatsaura munhu murombo uchienda kudivi rake pamhaka yake.
Neither shall you countenance a poor man in his cause.
4 “Kana ukaona nzombe yomuvengi wako kana mbongoro yake yarasika, ona kuti waidzosera kwaari.
If you meet your enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 Kana ukaona mbongoro yomunhu anokuvenga yawira pasi nokuda kwokuremerwa, usaisiya ipapo; iva nechokwadi kuti wamubatsira pairi.
If you see the ass of him that hates you lying under his burden, and would forbear to help him, you shall surely help with him.
6 “Usaramba kururamisira varombo vavanhu vokwako pamatare edzimhosva.
You shall not wrest the judgment of your poor in his cause.
7 Usava nechokuita nokupomerwa kwemhosva yenhema uye usatongera rufu munhu asina mhosva, kana munhu akatendeka, nokuti ini handizopembedzi munhu ane mhosva.
Keep you far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 “Usagamuchira fufuro, nokuti fufuro inopofumadza vaya vanoona uye inomonyorora mashoko owakarurama.
And you shall take no gift: for the gift blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 “Musadzvinyirira mutorwa; imi pachenyu munoziva kuti zvakaita sei kuva mutorwa, nokuti makanga muri vatorwa muIjipiti.
Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 “Makore matanhatu munofanira kudyara minda yenyu mugokohwa zvirimwa,
And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof:
11 asi pagore rechinomwe nyika ngairege kurimwa kana kushandiswa. Ipapo varombo vari pakati pavanhu venyu vangawanawo zvokudya kubva mairi, uye zvikara zvesango zvigodya zvavanenge vasiya. Muitewo zvimwe chetezvo kuminda yenyu yemizambiringa neyemiorivhi.
But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive grove.
12 “Muite basa renyu mazuva matanhatu, asi pazuva rechinomwe musashanda, kuitira kuti nzombe yako nembongoro yako zvizorore uye nhapwa yakaberekerwa mumba mako, nomutorwa, vazororewo.
Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
13 “Muchenjerere kuti muite zvose zvandakareva kwamuri. Musareva mazita avamwe vamwari; ngaarege kunzwikwa pamiromo yenyu.
And in all things that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your mouth.
14 “Katatu pagore munofanira kupemberera mutambo kwandiri.
Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year.
15 “Mupemberere Mutambo weChingwa Chisina Mbiriso; mazuva manomwe, munofanira kudya chingwa chisina mbiriso, sezvandakakurayirai. Muite izvi panguva dzakatarwa mumwedzi waAbhibhi, nokuti mumwedzi iwoyo ndipo pamakabuda kubva muIjipiti. “Hakuna munhu anofanira kumira pamberi pangu asina chinhu.
You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: )
16 “Mupemberere Mutambo woKukohwa nezvibereko zvokutanga zvezvirimwa zvamakadyara muminda yenyu. “Mupemberere Mutambo woKuunganidza pakupera kwegore, pamunounganidza zvirimwa zvenyu kubva mumunda.
And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
17 “Varume vose vanofanira kumira pamberi paIshe Jehovha katatu pagore.
Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
18 “Musapa ropa rechibayiro kwandiri pamwe chete nechinhu chipi zvacho chine mbiriso. “Mafuta ezvipiriso zvangu zvomutambo haafaniri kuchengetwa kusvikira mangwana mangwanani.
You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 “Muuye nezvakanakisisa zvezvibereko zvokutanga zvevhu renyu kuimba yaJehovha Mwari wenyu. “Musabika mbudzana mumukaka wamai vayo.
The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
20 “Tarirai, ndiri kutumira mutumwa pamberi penyu kuti akuchengetei munzira uye kuti akusvitsei kunzvimbo yandakakugadzirirai.
Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 Murerekere nzeve dzenyu kwaari mugoteerera zvaanoreva. Musamumukira; iye haangazoregereri kumukira kwenyu, sezvo Zita rangu riri maari.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22 Kana mukanyatsoteerera kune zvaanoreva nokuita zvose zvandinoreva, ini ndichava muvengi kuvavengi venyu uye ndichapikisa avo vanokupikisai.
But if you shall indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 Mutumwa wangu achakutungamirirai uye achakupinzai munyika yavaAmori, vaHiti, vaPerezi, vaKenani, vaHivhi navaJebhusi, uye ndichavapedza chose.
For my Angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24 Musapfugamira vamwari vavo kana kuvanamata kana kuwadzana namabasa avo. Munofanira kuvaparadza uye mugoputsa matombo avo anoyera.
You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25 Namatai Jehovha Mwari wenyu, uye ipapo maropafadzo ake achava pane zvokudya zvenyu nemvura yenyu. Ndichabvisa urwere kubva pakati penyu,
And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the middle of you.
26 uye hakuna achabva pamuviri kana asingabereki munyika yenyu. Ndichakupai upenyu huzere.
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land: the number of your days I will fulfill.
27 “Ndichatuma kuvhundutsa kwangu pamberi penyu uye ndichauyisa nyonganiso pamusoro pendudzi dzose dzamunosangana nadzo. Ndichaita kuti vavengi venyu vose vatendeuke vagotiza.
I will send my fear before you, and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28 Ndichatuma mago pamberi penyu kuti adzinge vaHivhi, vaKenani navaHiti kuti vabve munzira yenyu.
And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
29 Asi handizovadzingi mugore rimwe chete, nokuti nyika ingazoita sango uye mhuka dzesango dzikakuwandirai.
I will not drive them out from before you in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against you.
30 Ndichavabvisa pamberi penyu zvishoma zvishoma, kusvikira manyatsowanda kuti mutore nyika.
By little and little I will drive them out from before you, until you be increased, and inherit the land.
31 “Ndichasimbisa miganhu yenyu kubva kuGungwa Dzvuku kusvikira kuGungwa ravaFiristia, uye kubva kuRenje kusvikira kuRwizi. Ndichaisa mumaoko enyu vanhu vagere munyika iyi uye imi muchavadzinga pamberi penyu.
And I will set your bounds from the Red sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and you shall drive them out before you.
32 Musaita sungano navo kana navamwari vavo.
You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 Musavatendera kuti vagare munyika yenyu kuti varege kukuitai kuti munditadzire, nokuti kunamata vamwari vavo kuchava musungo kwamuri zvirokwazvo.”
They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me: for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.
