Dheuteronomio 27

¹Zvino Mozisi navakuru vaIsiraeri vakaraira vanhu, vakati, chengetai mirairo yose yandinokurairai nhasi.And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.

²Zvino nomusi waunoyambuka Jorodhani muchipinda munyika yaunopiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, unofanira kuzvimisira mabwe makuru nokuachenesa nesuko;And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:

³ugonyora pamusoro pawo mashoko ose omurayiro uyu, kana wayambuka; kuti upinde munyika yawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wako, nyika inoyerera mukaka nouchi, sezvawakapikirwa naJehovha Mwari wamadzibaba ako.And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.

⁴Zvino kana mayambuka Jorodhani, munofanira kumisa mabwe iwayo, sezvandinokurairai nhasi, pagomo reEbhari, nokuachenesa nesuko.Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.

⁵Ipapo unofanira kuvakirapo Jehovha Mwari wako aritari, aritari yamabwe; haufaniri kusimudzira nhumbi yedare pamusoro payo.And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.

⁶Unofanira kuvaka aritari yaJehovha Mwari wako namabwe asina kuvezwa, ugobayirapo Jehovha Mwari wako zvipiriso zvinopiswa.Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:

⁷Unofanira kubayirapo zvipiriso zvokuyananisa, nokudyapo; unofanira kufara pamberi paJehovha Mwari wako.And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.

⁸Unofanira kunyora pamusoro pamabwe awo mashoko ose omurayiro uyu, zvionekwe kwazvo.And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

⁹Zvino Mozisi navapirisiti navaRevhi vakataura navaIsiraeri vose, vakati, Iwe Isiraeri, nyarara, unzwe; nhasi waitwa rudzi rwaJehovha Mwari wako.And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God.

¹⁰Naizvozvo unofanira kuteerera inzwi raJehovha Mwari wako, uite mirairo yake nezvaakatema, zvandinokuraira nhasi.Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.

¹³Uye ndivo vanofanira kunomira pagomo reEbhari, kuti vavatuke: Rubheni, naGadhi, naAsheri, naZebhuruni, naDhani, naNafutari.And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
