¹And thou shalt make an altar for the burning of incense: of acacia-wood shalt thou make it;

¹Unofanira kuitawo aritari yokupisirapo zvinonhuhwira; uiite nomuti womuakasia.

²a cubit the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof -- square shall it be; and two cubits its height; of itself shall be its horns.

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 upon it a border of gold round about.

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

⁴And two rings of gold shalt thou make for it under its border; by its two corners shalt thou make [them], on the two sides thereof; and they shall be for receptacles for the staves, with which to carry it.

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

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

⁵Uitewo matanda omuakasia, nokuafukidza nendarama.

⁶And thou shalt put it in front of the veil which is before the ark of the testimony in front of the mercy-seat which 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 fragrant incense: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn the incense.

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

⁸And when Aaron lighteth the lamps between the two evenings, he shall burn the incense -- a continual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.

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

⁹Ye shall offer up no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor oblation; 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 atonement for its horns once in the year: with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement shall he make atonement for it, once in the year, throughout your generations: it is most holy to Jehovah.

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 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi, akati,

¹²When thou shalt take the sum of the children of Israel according to those of them that are numbered, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to Jehovah on their being numbered, that there be no plague among them on their being numbered.

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 shall they give -- every one that passeth among them that are numbered -- half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, -- twenty gerahs the shekel; a half shekel shall be the heave-offering for Jehovah.

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 those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the heave-offering of Jehovah.

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 ye give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make 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 devote it to the service of the tent of meeting; and it shall be a memorial to the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make 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 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹⁸Thou shalt also make a laver of copper, and its stand of copper, for washing; and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.

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

¹⁹And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet out of it.

¹⁹Kuti Aroni navanakomana vake vashambemo maoko avo netsoka dzavo.

²⁰When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they come near to the altar to serve, to burn an offering by fire to Jehovah.

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

²¹And they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die; and it shall be an everlasting statute for them, for him and for 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.

²²And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

²²Jehovha wakataurawo naMozisi akati,

²³And thou, take best spices -- of liquid myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon the half -- two hundred and fifty, and of sweet myrtle two hundred and fifty,

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, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin;

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

²⁵and make of it an oil of holy ointment, a perfume of perfumery after the work of the perfumer: it shall be the 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 tent of meeting with it, and the ark of the testimony,

²⁶Zvino unofanira kuzodza nawo tende rokusangana neareka yechipupuriro,

²⁷and the table and all its utensils, and the lamp-stand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,

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

²⁸and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand.

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

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

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

³⁰And Aaron and his sons thou shalt anoint, and shalt hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.

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

³¹And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel, saying, A holy anointing oil shall this be 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] like it, after the preparation of it: it is holy -- holy shall it be unto you.

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

³³Whoever compoundeth [any] like it, or whoever putteth [any] of it upon any strange thing, shall be cut off from his peoples.

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

³⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, Take fragrant drugs -- stacte, and onycha, and galbanum -- fragrant drugs and pure frankincense; in like proportions shall it be.

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 into incense, a perfume, after the work of the perfumer, salted, pure, holy.

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

³⁶And thou shalt beat [some] of it to powder, and put [some] of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, 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 the incense that thou shalt make, ye shall not make for yourselves according to the proportions of it; it shall be unto thee holy to Jehovah.

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

³⁸Whoever maketh like unto it, to smell it, shall be cut off from his peoples.

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