¹And Jehovah spoke to 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 have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,

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

⁴to devise artistic work -- to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

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

⁵and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber -- to work in all manner of work.

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 heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given 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 tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent,

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

⁸and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;

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

⁹and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;

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

¹⁰and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests;

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

¹¹and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

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

¹²And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹²Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹³And thou, speak thou unto the children of Israel, saying, Surely my sabbaths shall ye keep; for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that it is I, Jehovah, who do hallow you.

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

¹⁴Keep the sabbath, therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall certainly be put to death: yea, whoever doeth work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.

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 shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, holy to Jehovah: whoever doeth work on the sabbath day shall certainly 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.

¹⁶And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations -- [it is] an everlasting covenant.

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

¹⁷It shall be a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for [in] six days Jehovah made the heavens and the 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 to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the 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.
