¹And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and presented strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.

¹Zvino Nadhabi naAbhihu, vanakomana vaAroni, vakatora mumwe nomumwe harana yake yezvinonhuhwira, vakaisamo moto, ndokuisa zvinonhuhwira pamusoro pawo, vakauya pamberi paJehovha nomoto usina kutenderwa waasina kuraira.

²And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

²Ipapo moto wakabuda pamberi paJehovha, ukavauraya, vakafa pamberi paJehovha.

³And Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be hallowed in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent.

³Zvino Mozisi akati kuna Aroni, Jehovha wakataura chinhu ichi, akati, Ndichazviratidza kuti ndiri mutsvene muna vose vanoswedera kwandiri, ndichazvirumbidza pamberi pavanhu vose. Aroni akanyarara.

⁴And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

⁴Ipapo Mozisi akadana Mishaeri naErizafani, vanakomana vaUzieri, babamunini vaAroni, akati kwavari, Swederai, mubvise hama dzenyu pamberi penzvimbo tsvene, muvatakurire kunze kwemisasa.

⁵And they went near, and carried them in their vests out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁵Ipapo vakaswedera, vakavatakurira kunze kwemisasa vanamajasi avo, sezvakanga zvataurwa naMozisi.

⁶And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, Your heads shall ye not uncover, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come on all the assembly; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

⁶Zvino Mozisi akati kuna Aroni nokuna Ereazari nokuna Itamari, vanakomana vake, Musasunungura vudzi remisoro yenyu, kana kubvarura nguvo dzenyu, kuti murege kufa, naiye arege kutsamwira ungano yose; asi hama dzenyu, veimba yose yaIsiraeri, ivo ngavacheme kupisa kwakatungidzwa naJehovha.

⁷And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

⁷Musabuda pamukova wetende rokusangana, kuti murege kufa, nekuti mafuta okuzodza aJehovha ari pamusoro penyu. Vakaita sezvavakaudzwa naMozisi.

⁸And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,

⁸Zvino Jehovha wakataura naAroni akati,

⁹Thou shalt not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, and thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, lest ye die -- [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations,

⁹Usamwa waini kana chinhu chinobata, iwe navanakomana vako pamwechete newe, kana muchipinda mutende rokusangana, kuti murege kufa; uve murayiro usingaperi kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose.

¹⁰that ye may put difference between the holy and the unholy, and between unclean and clean,

¹⁰Munofanira kutsaura pakati pezvitsvene nezvisati zviri zvitsvene, pakati pezvisina kunaka nezvakanaka;

¹¹and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

¹¹munofanira kudzidzisa vana vaIsiraeri mirairo yose yakarairwa naJehovha nomuromo waMozisi.

¹²And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the oblation that is left of Jehovah's offerings by fire, and eat it with unleavened bread beside the altar; for it is most holy.

¹²Zvino Mozisi wakataura naAroni naEreazari naItamari, vanakomana vake vakanga vasara, akati, Torai chipiriso choupfu chakasara pazvipiriso zvakapisirwa Jehovha nomoto, muzvidyire kurutivi rwearitari zvisina mbiriso, nekuti zvitsvene kwazvo;

¹³And ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of Jehovah's offerings by fire; for so I am commanded.

¹³munofanira kuzvidyira panzvimbo tsvene, nekuti ndiwo mugove wako nomugove wavanakomana vako pazvipiriso zvaJehovha zvinoitwa nomoto, nekuti ndizvo zvandakarairwa.

¹⁴And the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for [as] thy due, and thy sons' due, are they given of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

¹⁴Munofanira kudyira panzvimbo tsvene chityu chinozunguzirwa nebandauko rinosimudzwa, iwe navanakomana vako navanasikana vako pamwechete newe, nekuti makazvipiwa, kuti uve mugove wako, nomugove wavanakomana vako pazvibayiro zvezvipiriso zvokuyananisa zvavana vaIsiraeri.

¹⁵The shoulder of the heave-offering and the breast of the wave-offering shall they bring, with the fire-offering of the pieces of fat, to wave [them] as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and they shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, for an everlasting statute, as Jehovah has commanded.

¹⁵Vanofanira kuuya nebandauko rinosimudzwa; nechityu chinozunguzirwa, pamwechete nezvipiriso zvamafuta zvinopiswa nomoto, kuti vazvizunguzire, chive chipiriso chinozunguzirwa pamberi paJehovha; chinofanira kuva chako nechavanakomana vako, pamwechete newe; unofanira kuva murayiro usingaperi, sezvakarairwa naJehovha.

¹⁶And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and behold, it was burnt up: then he was wroth with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,

¹⁶Zvino Mozisi wakanyatsotsvaka mbudzi yechipiriso chezvivi, akawana kuti yapiswa, akatsamwira Ereazari naItamari, vanakomana vaAroni vakanga vasara, akati,

¹⁷Why have ye not eaten the sin-offering in a holy place? for it is most holy, and he has given it to you that ye might bear the iniquity of the assembly, to make atonement for them before Jehovah.

¹⁷Makaregerei kudyira chipiriso chezvivi panzvimbo tsvene, zvachiri chitsvene kwazvo, uye nekuti wakakupai icho, kuti mubvise kutadza kweungano, muvayananisire pamberi paJehovha?

¹⁸Lo, its blood was not brought in within the sanctuary: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

¹⁸Tarirai, ropa rayo harina kuuyiswa mukati menzvimbo tsvene, sezvandakaraira.

¹⁹And Aaron said to Moses, Behold, to-day have they presented their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and such things have befallen me; and had I to-day eaten the sin-offering, would it have been good in the sight of Jehovah?

¹⁹Ipapo Aroni akati kuna Mozisi, Tarira, vakapisa nhasi chipiriso chavo chezvivi, nechipiriso chavo chinopiswa pamberi paJehovha, ini ndikawirwa nezvinhu izvi zvakadai; zvino dai ndakadya chipiriso chezvivi nhasi, zvingadai zvaifadza Jehovha here?

²⁰And Moses heard it; and it was good in his sight.

²⁰Mozisi wakati achinzwa izvozvo, akatenda nazvo.
