Ekisodho 34
1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Veza matombo maviri amahwendefa akaita seokutanga, uye ndichanyora paari mashoko akanga ari pamahwendefa okutanga, awakaputsa.
The Lord told Moses, “Cut out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them again the same words that were on the first tablets—the ones you broke.
2 Ugadzirire mangwanani, uye ipapo ugouya pamusoro peGomo reSinai. Uzviise kwandiri iwe ipapo pamusoro pegomo.
Get ready in the morning, and then come up Mount Sinai. Stand before me there on the mountain top.
3 Hapana munhu anofanira kuuya newe kana kuonekwa papi zvapo pamusoro peGomo; kunyange makwai kana mombe zvinopfuura pamberi pegomo.”
Nobody else can come up with you—I don't want to see anyone anywhere on the mountain, and no flocks or herds should graze at the foot of the mountain.”
4 Saka Mozisi akaveza mahwendefa maviri amabwe akaita seokutanga uye akakwira pamusoro pegomo reSinai mangwanani-ngwanani, sezvaakanga arayirwa naJehovha; uye akatakura mahwendefa maviri amabwe mumaoko ake.
So Moses cut out two stone tablets like the previous ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning as the Lord had ordered him, taking with him the two stone tablets.
5 Ipapo Jehovha akaburuka kwaari ari mugore akamira naye ipapo uye akazivisa zita rake, Jehovha.
The Lord descended in a cloud, stood there with him, and called out the name “Yahweh.”
6 Uye akapfuura napamberi paMozisi, achizivisa achiti, “Jehovha, Jehovha, Mwari ane tsitsi nenyasha, anononoka kutsamwa, azere norudo uye akatendeka,
The Lord passed in front of him, calling out, “Yahweh! Yahweh! I am the God of grace and mercy! I am slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and always faithful.
7 anoitira rudo kuzviuru zvamazana, uye achikanganwira zvakaipa, kumukira nechivi. Asi haaregi ane mhosva asingarangwi; anoranga vana navana vavo nokuda kwechivi chamadzibaba avo kusvikira kuchizvarwa chechitatu nechechina.”
I go on showing my trustworthy love to thousands, forgiving guilt, rebellion, and sin. But I will not leave the guilty unpunished—the impact of sin will affect not only the parents, but also their children and grandchildren, up until the third and fourth generation.”
8 Mozisi akakotamira pasi akanamata.
Moses quickly bowed down to the ground, and worshiped.
9 Akati, “Haiwa Jehovha, kana ndawana nyasha pamberi penyu, ipapo Jehovha ngaaende nesu. Kunyange vanhu ava vane mitsipa mikukutu, regererai henyu kuipa kwedu nechivi chedu, uye mutitore senhaka yenyu.”
He said, “Lord, if it's true that you're happy with me, please accompany us. Admittedly this is a rebellious people, but please forgive our guilt and sin. Accept us as specially belonging to you.”
10 Ipapo akati, “Ndava kuita sungano newe. Ndichaita zvishamiso pamberi pavanhu vako zvisina kumboitwa kare mundudzi dzipi zvadzo munyika yose. Vanhu vaunogara pakati pavo vachaona kuti basa randichakuitira ini, Jehovha rinotyisa sei.
The Lord said, “Look, I'm making an agreement with you. Right in front of all of you I will do miracles that have never been done before—not among anyone anywhere on earth. Everyone here and those around will see the Lord at work, for what I'm going to do for you will be incredible.
11 Uteerere zvandinokurayira nhasi. Ndichadzinga pamberi pako vaAmori, vaKenani, vaHiti, vaPerezi, vaHivhi navaJebhusi.
But you must carefully follow what I tell you to do today. Pay attention! I'm going to drive out ahead of you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
12 Uchenjerere kuti urege kuita sungano naavo vagere munyika yamunoenda kuti varege kuva musungo pakati penyu.
Make sure you don't agree to a peace treaty with the people living in the land where you are going. Otherwise they will become a trap for you.
13 Putsirai aritari dzavo pasi, pwanyai matombo avo anoyera uye muteme matanda avo aAshera.
For you must tear down their altars, knock down their idolatrous pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles,
14 Musanamata vamwe vamwari vapi zvavo, nokuti Jehovha, iye ane zita rinonzi Godo, ndiye Mwari ane godo.
because you must not worship any other gods than the Lord. His name stands for being exclusive, because he is a God who demands an exclusive relationship.
15 “Uchenjerere kuti urege kuita sungano naavo vanogara munyika; nokuti pavanenge voita ufeve hwavo kuna vamwari vavo uye vakabayira kwavari, vachakukokai uye muchadya zvibayiro zvavo.
Make sure you don't agree to a peace treaty with the people living in the land, for when they prostitute themselves by worshiping and sacrificing to their gods, they will invite you to join them, and you will eat from their pagan sacrifices.
16 Uye pamunosarudza vamwe vanasikana vavo kuti vave vakadzi vavanakomana venyu uye vanasikana avo vakaita ufeve navamwari vavo, vachatungamirira vanakomana venyu kuita zvimwe chetezvo.
When you have their daughters marry your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will make your sons worship their gods in the same way.
17 “Musaita zvifananidzo zvakaumbwa.
Don't make any idols for yourselves.
18 “Mupemberere Mutambo weZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso. Mudye chingwa chisina mbiriso kwamazuva manomwe, sezvandakurayirai. Muite izvi panguva yakatarwa mumwedzi waAbhibhi, nokuti mumwedzi iwoyo makabuda muIjipiti.
Observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, as I ordered you to do. You are to do this at the specified time in the month of Abib, because that was the month when you left Egypt.
19 “Chibereko chose chinotanga kuzarura chizvaro ndechangu, kusanganisira matangwe ose makono ezvipfuwo zvako, dzingava mombe kana makwai.
Every firstborn is mine. That includes all the firstborn males of your livestock from your cattle herds, and flocks.
20 Udzikinure dangwe rembongoro negwayana, asi kana usingaridzikinuri, urivhune mutsipa waro. Udzikinure matangwe ose kuvanakomana venyu. “Hapana munhu anofanira kumira pamberi pangu asina chinhu.
You can redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb, but if you don't, you must break its neck. All your firstborn sons must be redeemed. No one is to come before me without an offering.
21 “Mubate basa mazuva matanhatu, asi nezuva rechinomwe munofanira kuzorora; kunyange munguva dzokurima nedzokukohwa munofanira kuzorora.
You shall work for six days, but you shall rest on the seventh day. Even during the times of sowing and harvest you shall rest.
22 “Mupemberere Mutambo weMavhiki nezvibereko zvokutanga zvegorosi yakohwewa, uye Mutambo woKuunganidza pakupera kwegore.
Observe the Festival of Weeks when you offer the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Harvest Festival at the end of the agricultural year.
23 Katatu pagore, varume vose vanofanira kumira pamberi paIshe Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri.
Three times every year all your males must appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.
24 Ndichadzinga ndudzi pamberi penyu uye ndichakurisa nyika yenyu, uye hakuna munhu achachiva nyika yenyu pamunokwidzako katatu gore rimwe nerimwe, kuti mumire pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu.
I will drive out the nations ahead of you and expand your borders, and no one will come and take your land when you go three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.
25 “Musapa kwandiri ropa rezvibayiro pamwe chete nechinhu chipi zvacho chine mbiriso, uye musarega chimwe chezvibayiro zvoMutambo wePasika chichisara kusvikira mangwanani.
Don't offer bread made with yeast when you present a sacrifice to me, don't keep any sacrifice from the Passover Feast until the morning.
26 “Muuyise zvakaisvonaka zvezvibereko zvevhu renyu zvokutanga kuimba yaJehovha Mwari wenyu. “Musabika mbudzana mumukaka wamai vayo.”
When you harvest your crops, bring the firstfruits to the house of the Lord your God. Don't cook a young goat in milk from its mother.”
27 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Nyora mashoko aya, nokuti maererano namashoko aya ndaita sungano newe uye neIsraeri.”
Then the Lord told Moses, “Write down these words, because these are the basis for the agreement I have made with you and with Israel.”
28 Mozisi akanga ariko kuna Jehovha kwamazuva makumi mana nousiku makumi mana, asingadyi chingwa kana kunwa mvura. Uye akanyora pamahwendefa mashoko esungano, iyo Mirayiro Gumi.
Moses spent forty days and forty nights there with the Lord without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote down on the tablets the words of the agreement, the Ten Commandments.
29 Mozisi akati aburuka muGomo reSinai aine mahwendefa maviri eChipupuriro mumaoko ake, akanga asingazivi kuti chiso chake chaibwinya nokuti akanga ataura naJehovha.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai carrying the two tablets of the Law, he didn't realize that his face was shining brightly because he had been speaking with the Lord.
30 Aroni navaIsraeri vose pavakaona Mozisi, chiso chake chakanga chichibwinya, uye vakatya kuswedera pedyo naye.
When Aaron and the Israelites saw Moses with his face shining so brightly they were frightened to approach him.
31 Asi Mozisi akavadana; uye Aroni navatungamiri vose vavanhu vakadzokera kwaari, uye akataura navo.
But Moses called out to them, so Aaron and all the community leaders went over to him, and he talked with them.
32 Shure kwaizvozvo vaIsraeri vose vakaswedera pedyo naye akavapa mirayiro yose yaakanga apiwa naJehovha muGomo reSinai.
Afterwards all the Israelites came over and he gave them all the Lord's instructions he'd received on Mount Sinai.
33 Mozisi akati apedza kutaura navo, akaisa chifukidzo pachiso chake.
After Moses finished talking with them, he put a veil over his face.
34 Asi pose paaipinda paKuvapo kwaJehovha kuti ataure naye, aibvisa chifukidzo kusvikira abuda kunze. Uye aiti paaibuda achiudza vaIsraeri zvaainge arayirwa,
However, whenever Moses went in to talk with the Lord, he would take off the veil until he came out again. Then he would tell the Israelites the Lord's instructions,
35 vaiona kuti chiso chake chakanga chichibwinya. Ipapo Mozisi aizoisazve chifukidzo pachiso chake kusvikira apinda kundotaura naJehovha.
and the Israelites would see his face shining brightly. So he would put the veil over his face until the next time he went to talk with the Lord.
