¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

²See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

²Tarira, ndadana Bhezareri, mwanakomana, waUri, mwanakomana waHuri, worudzi rwaJudha, nezita rake,

³And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

³ndikamuzadza noMweya waMwari, nouchenjeri, nokunzwisisa, nokuziva kose, nokugona marudzi ose amabasa,

⁴To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

⁴kuti afunge mano oumhizha, nokubata nendarama, nesirivha, nendarira,

⁵And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

⁵nokuveza mabwe anoiswa mukati, nokuveza matanda, nokugona marudzi ose amabasa.

⁶And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;

⁶Uye ini, tarira ndakagadza pamwechete naye Ohoriabhu, mwanakomana waAhisamaki, worudzi rwaDhani; nomumoyo yavose vane moyo yakangwara ndakaisa uchenjeri, kuti, vaite, zvose zvandakakuraira,

⁷The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,

⁷zvinoti: Tende rokusangana, neareka yechipupuriro, nechifunhiro chokuyananisa chiri pamusoro payo, nenhumbi dzose dzetabhenakeri,

⁸And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,

⁸netafura nenhumbi dzayo, nechigadziko chemwenje chakaisvonaka nenhumbi dzacho dzose, nearitari yezvinonhuhwira,

⁹And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,

⁹nearitari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa nenhumbi dzayo dzose, nomudziyo wokushambidzira nechigadziko chawo,

¹⁰And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,

¹⁰nenguvo dzakarukwa zvakanaka, nenguvo tsvene dzaAroni mupristi, nenguvo dzavanakomana vake dzokubata basa roupristi nadzo,

¹¹And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

¹¹namafuta okuzodza nawo, nezvinonhuhwira zvemiti inonaka zvapanzvimbo tsvene; vanofanira kuita zvose sezvandakakuraira.

¹²And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹²Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹³Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

¹³Taura navana vaIsiraeri, uti, Zvirokwazvo munofanira kuchengeta masabata angu; nekuti chiratidzo pakati pangu nemwi kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose, muzive kuti ndini Jehovha unokutsaurai.

¹⁴Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

¹⁴Naizvozvo chengetai sabata, nekuti idzvene kwamuri; ani naani unorizvidza ngaaurawe zvirokwazvo; nekuti ani naani unobata basa ripi neripi naro, munhu uyo ngaabviswe pakati porudzi rwake.

¹⁵Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

¹⁵Mabasa ose ngaabatwe namazuva matanhatu, asi zuva rechinomwe isabata rokuzorora kwazvo, idzvene kuna Jehovha; ani naani unobata basa ripi neripi nezuva resabata, ngaaurawe zvirokwazvo.

¹⁶Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

¹⁶Naizvozvo vana vaIsiraeri vanofanira kuchengeta sabata, varangarire sabata kusvikira kumarudzi avo ose; ive sungano isingaperi.

¹⁷It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

¹⁷Chiratidzo pakati pangu navana vaIsiraeri nokusingaperi; nekuti Jehovha wakaita denga nenyika namazuva matanhatu, akazorora nezuva rechinomwe, akasimbiswa.

¹⁸And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

¹⁸Zvino wakati apedza kutaura naMozisi pagomo reSinai, akamupa mabwendefa maviri echipupuriro, mabwendefa amabwe akanga akanyorwa nomumwe waMwari.
