¹And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.

¹Unofanira kuitawo aritari yokupisirapo zvinonhuhwira; uiite nomuti womuakasia.

²A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.

²Kureba kwayo ngakuve kubhiti rimwe, noupamhi hwayo kubhiti rimwe, nhivi dzose dzienzane; kukwirira kwayo ngakuve makubhiti maviri, uye nyanga dzayo ngadzive chinhu chimwe chete nayo.

³And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.

³Unofanira kuifukidza nendarama yakaisvonaka, kumusoro kwayo, nokunhivi dzayo dzose, nenyanga dzayo; uiitirewo hata yendarama inoikomberedza.

⁴And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.

⁴Uiitirewo zvindori zviviri zvendarama pasi pehata yayo, pakona dzayo mbiri, panhivi dzayo mbiri, pave paingatakurwa namatanda.

⁵And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.

⁵Uitewo matanda omuakasia, nokuafukidza nendarama.

⁶And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.

⁶Zvino unofanira kuiisa pamberi pechidzitiro chiri paareka yechipupuriro, pamberi pechifunhiro chokuyananisa chiri pamusoro pechipupuriro, pandichasangana newe.

⁷And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.

⁷Aroni anofanira kupisa pamusoro payo zvinonhuhwira zvemiti yakanaka; ngaazvipise mangwanani ose, kana achigadzira mwenje.

⁸And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.

⁸Kana Aroni achitungidza mwenje madekwana, ngaazvipise, zvive zvinonhuhwira pamberi paJehovha nokusingaperi kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose.

⁹Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.

⁹Musapisira pamusoro payo zvinonhuhwira zvisina kufanira, kana chipiriso chinopiswa, kana chipiriso choupfu; musadururira pamusoro payo chipiriso chinodururwa.

¹⁰And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.

¹⁰Aroni anofanira kuyananisa panyanga dzayo kamwe chete pagore; anofanira kuyananisa pamusoro payo kamwe chete pagore, neropa rechipiriso chezvivi chinoyananisa, kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose; chinhu chitsvene kwazvo kuna Jehovha.

¹¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi, akati,

¹²When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.

¹²Kana uchiverenga vana vaIsiraeri, kuti uwone kuwanda kwavo, mumwe nomumwe anofanira kupa Jehovha rudzikunuro rwomweya wake, kana uchivaverenga; kuti varege kubatwa nehosha kana uchivaverenga.

¹³This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.

¹³Vanofanira kupa kudai: Mumwe nomumwe unodarika kuna vakaverengwa hafu yeshekeri vachienzanisa neshekeri rapanzvimbo tsvene; (shekeri rinamagera ana makumi maviri,) hafu yeshekeri chive chipo kuna Jehovha.

¹⁴Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.

¹⁴Mumwe nomumwe unodarika kuna vakaverengwa, wava namakore makumi maviri kana wapfuura makore iwayo, anofanira kupa Jehovha chipo ichocho.

¹⁵The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

¹⁵Mufumi ngaarege kuwedzera, nomurombo ngaarege kutapudza pahafu yeshekeri, kana vopa chipo icho, kuti muyananisire mweya yenyu.

¹⁶And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

¹⁶Zvino unofanira kutora mari yokuyananisira kuvana vaIsiraeri, ugoripira basa retende rokusangana; kuti chive chirangaridzo kuvana vaIsiraeri pamberi paJehovha, kuti mweya yenyu iyananisirwe.

¹⁷And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹⁸Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.

¹⁸Unofanira kuitawo mudziyo wendarira wokushambidzira, nechigadziko chawo chendarira, ugouisa pakati petende rokusangana nearitari, ndokuisamo mvura.

¹⁹For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:

¹⁹Kuti Aroni navanakomana vake vashambemo maoko avo netsoka dzavo.

²⁰When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:

²⁰Kana vopinda mutende rokusangana, vanofanira kuzvishambidza nemvura, kuti varege kufa, kana voswedera paaritari kuzoshumira, kana kupisira Jehovha chipiriso chinopiswa nomoto.

²¹So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

²¹Vanofanira kushamba maoko avo namakumbo avo, kuti varege kufa; unofanira kuva mutemo usingaperi kwavari, kwaari nokuvanakomana vake kusvikira kumarudzi avo ose.

²²Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²²Jehovha wakataurawo naMozisi akati,

²³Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,

²³Torawo miti inonhuhwira inokunda imwe, anoti mashekeri ana mazana mashanu emura inoyerera, nehafu yakadaro yekinamuni inonaka, ndiwo mashekeri ana mazana maviri namakumi mashanu, namashekeri ana mazana maviri namakumi mashanu ekaramusi yakanaka;

²⁴And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:

²⁴namazana mashanu ekasia, vachienzanisa neshekeri rapanzvimbo tsvene, nehini imwe yamafuta amaorivhi;

²⁵And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

²⁵uite nazvo mafuta matsvene okuzodza nawo, zvive zvinonhuhwira zvakavhenganiswa nouchenjeri hwomuvhenganisi wezvinonhuhwira; ave mafuta matsvene okuzodza nawo.

²⁶And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,

²⁶Zvino unofanira kuzodza nawo tende rokusangana neareka yechipupuriro,

²⁷And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,

²⁷netafura nenhumbi dzayo dzose, nechigadziko chemwenje nenhumbi dzacho, nearitari yezvinonhuhwira,

²⁸And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.

²⁸nearitari yezvibayiro zvinopiswa nenhumbi dzayo dzose, nomudziyo wokushambidzira nechigadziko chawo.

²⁹And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

²⁹Uzvitsaure, zvive zvinhu zvitsvene kwazvo; zvose zvinozvigunzva zvichava zvitsvenewo. .

³⁰And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.

³⁰Unofanira kuzodzawo Aroni navanakomana vake, nokuvaita vatsvene, kuti vandishumire pabasa roupristi.

³¹And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.

³¹Uudzewo vana vaIsiraeri, uti, Iwaya anofanira kuva pamberi pangu mafuta matsvene okuzodza nawo kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose.

³²Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.

³²Ngaarege kudirwa panyama yomunhu; uye musaita mamwe akafanana nawo, akaitwa saiwo; matsvene, anofanira kuva chinhu chitsvene kwamuri.

³³Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.

³³Ani naani unovhenganisa mafuta akafanana nawo, uye ani naani unoisa mamwe awo pamutorwa, ngaabviswe pakati porudzi rwake.

³⁴And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:

³⁴Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Tora miti inonhuhwira, inoti: Sitake, neonika, negabhano, miti yakanaka nezvinonhuhwira zvakaisvonaka; zvose zvienzane pakurema kwazvo.

³⁵And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:

³⁵Ugoita nazvo zvinonhuhwira, zvinonhuhwira zvinonaka, zvakavhenganiswa nouchenjeri hwomuvhenganisi wezvinonhuhwira, zvakarungwa nomunyu, zvakaisvonaka, zvitsvene.

³⁶And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.

³⁶Unofanira kutswa zvimwe zvazvo kwazvo, ugozviisa pamberi pechipupuriro mutende rokusangana, mandichasangana newe, kuti zvive zvitsvene kwazvo kwamuri.

³⁷And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.

³⁷Zvinonhuhwira zvamunozviitira imwi, musazviita sezvamunoita izvozvi; zvinofanira kuva kwamuri zvitsvene kuna Jehovha.

³⁸Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.

³⁸Ani naani unoita zvakafanana nazvo, kuti azvinhuwidze, ngaabviswe pakati porudzi rwake.
