¹ Yahweh wakabuya kuna Mozesi mumaterero e Moabe, paduze ne Jordan, ku Jerikoo, uye woti: ² "Tuma anhu eIziraeri kuti ape zwimwe zwikamu zwe munda dzawo kune marevi. Iswona woapasa maguta kuti agaremo uye ne makwasha ekufvudzira zwinyama nekudha kwawo. ³ Marevi atchagaremo uye makwasha ngekuitira nhombe dzawo, makwai, uye ne zwinyama zwese. ⁴ Makwasha atchavira ku migano emaguta pakarebha mityanyu inokwana zwuru, kumadhii ese. ⁵ Imwimwi munofanira kupima mitanyu inokwana zwuru kundze kwe guta nekudhii re kumaodza nyemba, uye mityanyu inokwana zwuru zwiri kudhii re kumadyokera zua, mityanyu inokwana zwuru zwiri kudhii re kwatemai dhumba, uye mitynyu inokwana zwuru zwiri kudhii re kumava zua. Aya ndiwo atchawe makwasha kumaguta. Maguta anofanira kuzogara pakati. ⁶ Maguta matandyatu e pakati pe aya atchapiwa kune marevi, anofanira kuzosendzeswa kuitira maguta erutiziro. Imwimwi munofanira kuzoapasa se mbuto yekuti magororo ndimu manofanira kutizira. Mopasazwe makumarongomuna ne mairi emaguta amweni. ⁷ Maguta atchapaswa kune marevi atchawe, ese, makumarongomuna ne masere. Imwimwi mozoapasa makwasha. ⁸ Madzindza makuru eanhu eIziraeri, mazindza anenge ane nyika yakakura, ndiwo anofanira kuzopasa maguta akawanda. Madzindza madhoko atchapasa maguta padhoko. Dzindza rimwe ne rimwe anofanira kupa kune marevi maererano ne zwanenge atambira". ⁹ Zwadharoko, Yahweh wobuya kuna Mozesi: ¹⁰ "Buya kune anhu eIziraeri: 'Kana imwimwi mukayambuka Jordan dzamara kunyika ye Kenani, ¹¹ zwadharo, munofanira kuzosanangura maguta kuti azowe rutiziro, kuitira kuti munhu wese unozouraya umwe munhu asina kuzwidha atizire kweneyo. ¹² Maguta aya atchawe kwamuri rutiziro kune wiya wamunenge mashaishira, kuitira kuti munhu unenge ashaisha asauraiwe asina kumbotongwa pamberi pe anhu. ¹³ Imwimwi munofanora kuzosanangura maguta matandyatu se maguta erutiziro. ¹⁴ Imwimwi munofanira kuzopa maguta matatu kumbiri kwe Jordan uye ne maguta matatu ku nyika ye Kenani. Iwona atchawe maguta e rutiziro. ¹⁵ Kuitira anhu eIziraeri, kuitira afambi, kuitira munhu upi hake anenge etchirarama pakati penyu, maguta aya matandyatu atchasendza kuita rutiziro kune upi hake anenge auraya munhu asikadhi. ¹⁶ Asi, kana umwe mwanarume anenge apombherwa mbhoswa ye kuuraya umwe munhu ne tchiro tche simbi, zwadharo nyakupombherwa mbhoswewo, zwezwirokwazswo ndigororo. Iyena unofanira kufa. ¹⁷ Kana umwe munhu akafura ne bhuwe umwe munhu dzamara pakumuuraya, zwadharo nyakupombherwa mbhoswewo, zwezwirokwazwo ndigororo. Iyena unofanira kufa. ¹⁸ Kana umwe munhu akaponda umweni munhu ne muti wakatsetswa dzamara pakumuuraya, zswadharo nyakupombherwa mbhoswewo, zwezwirokwazwo ndigororo. Iyena unofanira kufa. ¹⁹ Nyakushaishirwa, ungakwanisa iyena kuuraya binyero. Akamubhata, ungamjuuraya zwaake. ²⁰ Uye, kana munhu akadunda umwe munhu, neruwengo, kana kukandira tchimwe tchiro kwari, akafindara pakuitira kumubhata, dzamara munhuwo wofa, ²¹ kana kuti iyena womuponda, neruwengo, ne nyara dzake, dzamara munhuwo wofa, zwadharo munhuwo unofanira kufa. Iyena ndibinya. Nyakushaishirwa akamubhata ungakwanisa kumuuraya hake. ²² Asi, kana nyakushaisha, nekupatisa, wondunda umwe munhu asina ruwengo, kana kukandira tchimwe tchiro tchoponda munhu asina kumufindarira, ²³ kana kuti iyena wokandira rimwe bhuwe ringauraya mjunhu asina kumuwona, zwadharo, nyakushaisha ainga asiripi muwengi we nyakupondwa; iyena ainge asiripi kudha kumukuwadza. ²⁴ Pasnyaya iyi, annhu anofanira kutonga pakati pe nyakushaisha ne nyakushaishirwa maererano ne mutemo idzi. ²⁵ Anhu anofanira kuripira mushaishi kune nyakushaishirwa. Anhu anofanira kupetudza nyakushaisha muguta rerutiziro kwaitchengetwa. Iyena worarama kweneyo dzamara pakufa kwe mupirisita unenge ari pamupando, wakadzodzwa ne mafuta maswene. ²⁶ Asi, kana bhinyero, pamguwa ndhando, woenda kundze kwe mugano we guta re ritiziro kwanenge atizira, ²⁷ uye kana nyakushaishirwa womuwona kundze kwe mugano we guta rake rerutiziro, uye kana nyakushaishirwa wouraya bhinyero, iyena azowonekwi se bhinya. ²⁸ Izwo nekuti bhinya raifankira kuramba riri muguta rerutizxiro dzamara pakufa kwe mupirisita unenge ari pamupando. Pakupera kwe kufa kwe mupirisita, bhinya ringazopetuka haro kunyika yaro. ²⁹ Mutemo idzi dzinofanira kuwa mirairo kwamuri uye nekune marudzi ese eanhu enyu, mumbuto dzese dzamutchararama. ³⁰ Unenge auraya umwe munhu unofanira kuraiwawo, maererano ne zwapupu zwe anhu. Asi, tchapupu tche munhu umwe bhasi atchifaniri kukondzeresa rufu ku munhu. ³¹ Uye imwimwiwo, amufaniri kutambira muripo wekudzikinura umwe munhu unenge auraya umwe munhu. Iyena zwezwirokwazwo unofanira kufawo. ³² Uye imwimwi amufaniri kutambira muripo wekudzikinurwa kwe umwe munhu unenge aenda ku krimwe guta rerutiziro. Imwimwi amufaniri, nemushobho uyu, kutendera kuti iyena ararame muguta rake dzamara mupirisita wafa. ³³ Musaswipise, neizwi, nyika yamurikurarama, nekuti ngazi ye bhinya inoswipisa nyika. Musaite kana tchipiriso tchimwe hatcho munyika kana ngazi ikadhururwa, dhangani kune wiya waidhurura. ³⁴ Zwikadharoko, imwimwi amuswipisi nyika yamunorarama, nekuti Inini ndiri kurarama imona. Inini, Yahweh, ndinorarama pakati pe anhu eIziraeri"'.
