¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²Nomusi wokutanga womwedzi unofanira kumisa tabhenakeri netende rokusangana.

²On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

³Unofanira kuisa mukati mayo areka yechipupuriro, nokudzitira areka nechidzitiro.

³And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

⁴Upinzewo tafura, nokugadzira zvinhu zvinofanira kuva pamusoro payo; upinzewo chigadziko chemwenje, ugotungidza mwenje yacho.

⁴And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

⁵Uisewo aritari yendarama yezvinonhuhwira pamberi peareka yechipupuriro, ugoisa chidzitiro chomukova wetabhenakeri.

⁵And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

⁶Zvino uisewo aritari yezvibayiro zvinopiswa pamberi pomukova wetabhenakeri yetende rokusangana.

⁶And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

⁷Uisewo mudziyo wokushambidzira pakati petende rokusangana nearitari, ugodira mvura mukati mawo.

⁷And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

⁸Zvino ugadzirewo ruvanze nokurembedza chidzitiro chesuwo roruvanze.

⁸And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

⁹Utorewo mafuta okuzodza nawo, uzodze tabhenakeri nawo, nezvose zviri mukati mayo; ugoitsaura, iyo nezvose zvirimo, kuti chive chinhu chitsvene.

⁹And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.

¹⁰Uzodzewo aritari nezvibayiro zvinopiswa, nemidziyo yayo yose, kuti utsaure aritari, aritari chive chinhu chitsvene-tsvene.

¹⁰And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

¹¹Uzodzewo mudziyo wokushambidzira nechigadziko chawo, uutsaure.

¹¹And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

¹²Zvino uswededze Aroni navanakomana vake kumukova wetende rokusangana, ugovashambidza nemvura.

¹²And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

¹³Ipapo ufukidze Aroni nguvo tsvene, ugomuzodza nokumutsaura, kuti andishumire pabasa roupristi.

¹³And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

¹⁴Uswededzewo vanakomana vake, ugovafukidza nguvo.

¹⁴And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

¹⁵Uvazodze, sezvawazodza baba vavo, kuti vandishumire pabasa roupristi; kuzodzwa kwavo kunofanira kuva kwavari upristi nokusingaperi, kusvikira kumarudzi avo ose.

¹⁵And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

¹⁶Mozisi akaita saizvozvo; zvose zvaakanga arairwa naJehovha, wakazviita saizvozvo.

¹⁶Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.

¹⁷Tabhenakeri ikamiswa nomwedzi wokutanga wegore rechipiri nomusi wokutanga womwedzi.

¹⁷And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

¹⁸Mozisi akamisa tabhenakeri, akaisa zvigadziko zvayo, akamisa mapuranga ayo, akaisa mbariro dzayo, nokumisa mbiru dzayo.

¹⁸And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

¹⁹Akawarira tende pamusoro petabhenakeri, akaisa chifukidzo chetende pamusoro payo, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

¹⁹And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

²⁰Akatora chipupuriro, akachiisa muareka, akapinza matanda paareka, akaisa chifunhiro chokuyananisa pamusoro peareka;

²⁰And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

²¹akapi nza areka mutabhenakeri, akarembedza chidzitiro chokudzitira nacho, akadzitira areka yechipupuriro; sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²¹And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

²²Akaisa tafura mutende rokusangana, kurutivi rwetabhenakeri nechokumusoro, kunze kwechidzitiro.

²²And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

²³Akagadzirawo chingwa pamusoro payo pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²³And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²⁴Akaisa chigadziko chemwenje mutende rokusangana, chakatarisana netafura, kurutivi rwetabhenakeri nechenyasi.

²⁴And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

²⁵Akatungidza mwenje pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²⁵And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

²⁶Akaisa aritari yendarama mutende rokusangana pamberi pechidzitiro;

²⁶And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:

²⁷akapisirapo zvinonhuhwira zvemiti yakanaka, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²⁷And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.

²⁸Akagadzira zvirembedzwa zvomukova wetabhenakeri.

²⁸And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

²⁹Akaisa aritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa pamukova wetabhenakeri yetende rokusangana, akapisira pamusoro payo chipiriso chinopiswa, nechipiriso choupfu; sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²⁹And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

³⁰Akaisa mudziyo wokushambidzira pakati petende rokusangana nearitari, akaisa mukati mayo mvura yokushambidza nayo.

³⁰And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

³¹Ipapo Mozisi naAroni navanakomana vake vakashamba maoko avo netsoka dzavopo;

³¹And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

³²pakupinda kwavo mutende rokusangana, napakuswedera kwavo kuaritari, vaishamba, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

³²When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

³³Akagadzirawo ruvanze rwaipoteredza tabhenakeri nearitari, akarembedza chidzitiro chesuwo roruvanze. Naizvozvo Mozisi akapedza basa rose.

³³And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

³⁴Ipapo gore rakafukidza tende rokusangana, kubwinya kwaJehovha kukazadza tabhenakeri.

³⁴Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

³⁵Mozisi akasagona kupinda mutende rokusangana, nekuti gore rakaramba rigere pamusoro paro uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakanga kwazadza tabhenakeri.

³⁵And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

³⁶Zvino kana gore rokwidzwa richibva pamusoro petabhenakeri, vana vaIsiraeri vakapfuura vachifamba nzendo dzavo dzose.

³⁶And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

³⁷Asi kana gore risina kukwidzwa, havana kufamba, kusvikira musi warinozokwidzwa.

³⁷But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

³⁸nekuti gore raJehovha rakanga riri pamusoro petabhenakeri masikati, nomoto waiva mariri usiku, pamberi pavose veimba yaIsiraeri panzendo dzavo dzose.

³⁸For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
