¹Zvino iye akati kuna Mozisi, Kwira kuna Jehovha, iwe naAroni, naNadhabhi naAbhihu, navakuru vana makumi manomwe vavaIsiraeri, mupfugame muri kure;

¹And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.

²Mozisi ngaaswedere pedo naJehovha, asi ivo ngavarege kuswedera pedo, navanhu ngavarege kukwira naye.

²And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.

³Zvino Mozisi akauya akaudza vanhu mashoko ose aJehovha, nezvaakanga atema zvose, vanhu vakapindura nenzwi rimwe vakati, Mashoko ose akarehwa naJehovha tichaaita.

³And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.

⁴Mozisi akanyora mashoko ose aJehovha, akamuka mangwanani, akandovaka aritari pasi pegomo, akamisa shongwe dzine gumi nembiri, zvakafanana namarudzi ane gumi namaviri avaIsiraeri.

⁴And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵Zvino akatuma majaya avana valsiraeri vakapisira Jehovha zvipiriso zvinopiswa, nokumubayira zvipiriso zvenzombe zvokuyananisa.

⁵And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

⁶Mozisi akatora hafu yeropa, akariisa mumidziyo, imwe hafu akasasa paaritari.

⁶And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁷Akatora bhuku yesungano, akarava vanhu vachizvinzwa; ivo vakati, Zvose zvarehwa naJehovha tichazviita, tichateerera.

⁷And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.

⁸Ipapo Mozisi akatora ropa akarisasa pamusoro pavanhu, akati, Tarirai ropa resungano yakaitwa naJehovha nemwi pamusoro pamashoko iwaya ose.

⁸And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

⁹Zvino Mozisi, naAroni, naNadhabhi, naAbhihu, navakuru vana makumi manomwevavaIsiraeri vakakwira.

⁹Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

¹⁰Vakaona Mwari wavaIsiraeri; pasi petsoka dzake pakanga pakaita samabwe esafiri, zvaionekera sokudenga chaiko.

¹⁰And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

¹¹Asi haana kutambanudzira ruoko rwake kuvakuru ivavo vavana vaIsiraeri; vakaona Mwari, vakadya, vakamwa.

¹¹And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

¹²Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Kwira kwandiri muno mugomo, ugarepo; ndichakupa mabwendefa amabwe anomurayiro nomurau wandanyora, kuti uvadzidzise.

¹²And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

¹³Mozisi akasimuka naJoshua, muranda wake, Mozisi akakwira mugomo raMwari,

¹³And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.

¹⁴akati kuvakuru, Timirirei pano, kusvikira tichadzokerazve kwamuri; tarirai Aroni naHuri vanemi; ani naani ane mhaka ngaaende kwavari.

¹⁴And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.

¹⁵Zvino Mozisi akakwira mugomo, gore rikafukidza gomo.

¹⁵And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

¹⁶Kubwinya kwaJehovha kukagara pagomo reSinai, gore rikarifukidza mazuva matanhatu; nezuva rechinomwe akadana Mozisi ari mukati megore.

¹⁶And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷Kubwinya kwaJehovha kukaonekwa navana valsiraeri kwakaita somoto unopisa kwazvo, uri pamusoro wegomo.

¹⁷And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸Mozisi akapinda mukati megore, akakwira mugomo; Mozisi akagara mugomo mazuva ana makumi mana nousiku una makumi mana.

¹⁸And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
