Dheuteronomio 15

¹Nguva dzose kana makore manomwe apera munofanira kuva nesununguro.At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.

²Nzira yesununguro ndiyo: Mumwe nomumwe wakapa chikwerete, unofanira kusunungura icho chaakapa hama yake; ngaarege kuchireva kuno wokwake kana hama yake; nokuti sununguro yaJehovha yaparidzwa.And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’S release.

³Ungazvireva kumutorwa; asi zvose zvako zviri paruoko rwehama yako, unofanira kuzvisunungura.Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;

⁴Asi usava navarombo pakati pako (nokuti zvirokwazvo, Jehovha uchakuropafadza panyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, kuti ive nhaka yako),Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:

⁵kana uchingoshingaira kwoga kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, kuti uchenjere kuita murayiro uyu wose, wandinokuraira nhasi.Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.

⁶Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza, sezvaakakupikira; iwe uchapa dzimwe ndudzi zhinji chikwerete, asi iwe usatora chikwerete; iwe uchabata ndudzi zhinji, asi idzo hadzingakubati iwe.Varombo navarandaFor the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations,but they shall not reign over thee.

⁷Kana kuno murombo kwauri, mumwe wehama dzako, mukati mamasuo api naapi panyika yako, yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, usatsungira hama yako murombo, kana kumupfumbatirira ruoko rwako;If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

⁸asi umutambanudzire ruoko rwako kwazvo, umubatsire nechikwerete zvinoringana pakushaiwa kwake, sezvaanokumbira.But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

⁹Chenjera kuti urege kufunga zvakaipa mumoyo mako, uchiti, `Gore rechinomwe, iro gore resununguro, riri pedo,' iwe ukava nomufungo wakaipa kuhama yako, ukasamupa chinhu; iye akachema kuna Jehovha Mwari wako pamusoro pako, chikava chivi kwauri.Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

¹⁰Unofanira kumupa zvakanaka, moyo wako haufaniri kuva neshungu, kana uchimupa; nokuti nokuda kwechinhu ichi Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza pamabasa ako ose, napazvose zvaunobata namaoko ako.Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

¹¹Nokuti varombo havangatongoperi panyika; naizvozvo ndinokuraira ndichiti, `Utambanudzire ruoko rwako zvakanaka kuhama yako, kuna iye unoshaiwa, nokuna varombo vako panyika yako.'For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

¹²Kana hama yako murume muHebheru kana mukadzi muHebheru achinge atengeswa kwauri, akakubatira makore matanhatu, iwe unofnaira kumurega negore rechinomwe aende hake.And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.

¹³Zvino kana uchimurega kuti aende hake, usamuendisa asine chinhu.And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:

¹⁴Unofanira kumugoverera zvakanaka pamakwai ako, napaburiro rako, napachisviniro chako chewaini; sezvawakaropafadzwa naJehovha Mwari wako, unofanira kumupa saizvozvo.Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

¹⁵Unofanira kurangarira iwe kuti wakanga uri muranda munyika Jehovha Mwari wako akakudzikunura; naizvozvo ndinokuraira chinhu ichi nhasi.And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.

¹⁶Asi kana akati kwauri, `Handidi hangu kubva kwamuri,' nokuti unokuda iwe naveimba yako, nokuti unofara hake newe,And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;

¹⁷ipapo unofanira kutora runji ndokuurura nzeve yake narwo pamukova, iye agova muranda wako nokusingaperi:. Uye murandakadzi wako unofanira kumuitirawo saizvozvo.Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.

¹⁸Hazvifaniri kuita sokukusvibisa moyo wako kana muchimurega kuti aende hake; nokuti wakakubatira makore matanhatu, achifanirwa nomubayiro wavaranda vaviri; Jehovha Mwari wako uchakuropafadza pane zvose zvaunoita.It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

¹⁹Mikono yose yavana vemhongora dzemombe dzako nedzamakwai ako, unofanira kutsaurira Jehovha Mwari wako; haufaniri kubata basa nomwana wemhongora dzemombe dzako, kana kuveura vana vemhongora dzamakwai ako.All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

²⁰Unofanira kuzvidya pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako gore rimwe nerimwe panzvimbo ichatsaurwa naJehovha, iwe nemhuri yako.Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.

²¹Kana chakaremara, zvimwe chinokuremara kwokukamhina, kana upofu, kana kuremara kwakaipa kupi nokupi, haufaniri kuchibayira Jehovha Mwari wako.And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.

²²Unofanira kuchidya mukati mamasuo ako; wakanaka nousina kunaka vose vanofanira kuchidya, sezvavanodya mhara nenondo.Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

²³Asi urege kudya ropa racho, unofanira kuriteurira pasi semvura.Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
