¹Zvino negore ramakumi maviri namashanu rokutapwa kwedu, pakutanga kwegore, nezuva regumi romwedzi, negore regumi namana rakatevera kurohwa kweguta, nezuva iroro, ruoko rwaJehovha rwakanga ruri pamusoro pangu.

¹In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.

²Pane zvandakaratidzwa naMwari, akandisvitsa munyika yaIsiraeri, akandiisa pagomo refu-refu, pakanga pane chinhu chakanga chakafanana neguta kurutivi rwezasi.

²In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.

³Akandiisako; zvino tarira, kwakanga kuno murume, pakuonekwa kwake akanga akaita sendarira, anorwonzi muruoko rwake, norutsanga rwokuyeresa narwo; akamira pasuwo.

³And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

⁴Murume uyo akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, tarira nameso ako, inzwa nenzeve dzako, urangarire nomoyo wako zvose zvandichakuratidza; nekuti wakasvitswa pano kuti ndikuratidze izvozvo; paridzira imba yaIsiraeri zvose zvaunoona.

⁴And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

⁵Zvino tarira, kwakanga kuno rusvingo rwakapoteredza imba nechokunze; muruoko rwomurume uyo makanga munorutsanga rwokuyeresa narwo, rwakasvika mamita matanhatu pakureba kwarwo, rimwe nerimwe richiitawo mita imwe nohupamhi bwechanza; ipapo akayera ukobvu hworusvingo, hukaita rutsanga rumwe, nokureba rutsanga rumwe.

⁵And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

⁶Zvino wakasvika pasuwo rakatarira kurutivi rwamabvazuva, akakwira nezvikwiriso zvaro, akayera chikumbaridzo chesuwo, zvikaita rutsanga rumwe, nechimwe chikumbaridzozve, zvikaita rutsanga rumwe.

⁶Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.

⁷Kamuri imwe neimwe yavarindi yakanga yakaita rutsanga rumwe pakureba, norutsanga rumwe paupamhi; pakati pamakamuri pakanga panamamita mashanu; uye chikumbaridzo chesuwo paberere resuwo kurutivi rweimba chakaita rutsanga rumwe.

⁷And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.

⁸Akayerawo berere resuwo kurutivi rweimba, zvikaita rutsanga rumwe.

⁸He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.

⁹Ipapo akayera berere resuwo, zvikaita mamita masere, nembiru dzaro, mamita maviri; berere resuwo rakanga riri kurutivi rweimba.

⁹Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

¹⁰Makamuri esuwo rokumabvazuva aiva matatu nechemberi namatatu necheseri, ose matatu aiva nechiyero chimwe, nembiru dzaiva nechiyero chimwe nechemberi necheseri.

¹⁰And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

¹¹Akayera upamhi hwomukova bwesuwo, zvikaita mamita ane gumi; nokureba kwesuwo, mamita ane gumi namatatu.

¹¹And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

¹²Kwakanga kuno rumhanda pamberi pamakamuri, rwakaita mita rimwe nechemberi, norumhanda rwakaita mita rimwe necheseri.

¹²The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

¹³Akayera suwo kubva padenga rekamuri imwe kusvikira padenga reimwe, zvikaita mamita makumi maviri namashanu pakufara; mukova mumwe wakatarisana nomumwe mukova.

¹³He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.

¹⁴Akaitawo mbiru, dzakasvika mamita makumi matanhatu; ruvanze rwakanga rwakapoteredza suwo kusvikira pambiru.

¹⁴He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.

¹⁵Zvino kubva pamberi pesuwo, pavanopinda napo, kusvikira pamberi peberere resuwo romukati, zvakaita mamita makumi mashanu.

¹⁵And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.

¹⁶Mumakamuri makanga muna mahwindo akapfigwa, nomumbiru dzawo mukati mesuwo kumativi ose, saizvozvowo pamaberere; mahwindo akanga aripowo kumativi ose nechomukati; pambiru imwe neimwe pakanga pane miti yemichindwe.

¹⁶And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm trees.

¹⁷Zvino akandiisa muruvanze rokunze, ndikaona makamuri neguva rakarongwa namabwe, zvakaitirwa ruvanze kumativi ose; kwakanga kuna makamuri makumi matatu paguva rakarongwa.

¹⁷Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

¹⁸Guva rakarongwa rakanga riri kurutivi rwamasuwo, rakaenzana pakureba kwaro namasuwo, iro guva rakarongwa rapasi.

¹⁸And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.

¹⁹Zvino wakayera hupamhi kubva pamberi pesuwo rapazasi kusvikira kunze pamberi poruvanze rwomukati, zvikaita mamita ane zana, kurutivi rwamabvazuva nokurutivi rwokumusoro.

¹⁹Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.

²⁰Wakayerawo kureba nohupamhi bwesuwo roruvanze rwokunze rakatarira kurutivi rwokumusoro.

²⁰And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.

²¹Makamuri aro aiva matatu nechemberi, namatatu necheseri; mbiru dzaro namaberere aro zvakanga zvakaenzana nechiyero chesuwo rokutanga; kureba kwaro kwakasvika mamita makumi mashanu nohupamhi mamita makumi maviri namashanu.

²¹And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

²²Mahwindo aro, namaberere aro, nemichindwe yaro zvakanga zvakaenzana nechiyero chesuwo rakatarira kurutivi rwamabvazuva; vanhu vaikwirako nezvikwiriso zvinomwe; maberere aro akanga ari pamberi paro.

²²And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.

²³Muruvazhe rwomukati makanga munesuwo rakatarisana nerimwe suwo, kurutivi rwokumusoro nokurutivi rwamabvazuva; akayera kubva kune rimwe suwo kusvikira kune rimwe suwo zvikaita makubhiti ane zana.

²³And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.

²⁴Zvino akaenda neni kurutivi rwezasi, ndikaona suwo kurutivi rwezasi; akayera mbiru dzaro namaberere aro nezviyero izvozvo.

²⁴After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.

²⁵Mahwindo aivapo mukati maro nomumaberere aro kumativi ose, akafanana namahwindo iwayo; pakureba kwazvo zvakaita mamita makumi mashanu, nokufara kwazvo mamita makumi maviri namashanu.

²⁵And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

²⁶Kwakanga kune zvikwiriso zvinomwe zvokukwira nazvo kwariri; maberere aro akanga ari pamberi paro; uye rakanga rine michindwe pambiru dzaro, mumwe nechemberi nomumwe necheseri.

²⁶And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.

²⁷Kwakanga kune suwo paruvanze rwomukati kurutivi rwezasi; akayera kubva kune rimwe suwo kusvikira kune rimwe suwo kurutivi rwezasi zvikaita mamita ane zana.

²⁷And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.

²⁸Zvino wakandiisa kuruvanze rwomukati kusuwo rezasi; akayera suwo rezasi nezviyero izvozvi;

²⁸And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

²⁹namakamuri aro, nembiru dzaro, namaberere aro nezviyero izvozvi; kwakanga kuna mahwindo mukati maro nomumaberere aro kumativi ose; zvakanga zvakaita makubhiti makumi mashanu pakureba, namamita makumi maviri namashanu pahupamhi.

²⁹And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

³⁰Kwakanga kuna maberere kumativi ose, akaita mamita makumi maviri namashanu pakureba, namamita mashanu pahupamhi.

³⁰And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

³¹Maberere aro akanga akatarira kuruvanze rwokunze; kwakanga kune michindwe pambiru dzaro; chikwiriso charo chakanga chine zvikwiriso zvisere.

³¹And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps.

³²Zvino wakandiisa muruvanze rwomukati kurutivi rwamabvazuva, akayera suwo nezviyero izvozvi;

³²And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.

³³namakamuri aro, nembiru dzaro, namaberere aro nezviyero izvozvi; makanga muna mahwindo mukati maro nomumaberere aro kumativi ose; zvakaita mamita makumi mashanu pakureba, namamita makumi maviri namashanu pahupamhi.

³³And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

³⁴Maberere aro akanga akatarira kuruvazhe rwokunze, kwakanga kune michindwe pambiru dzaro, nechemberi necheseri; chikwiriso charo chakanga chine zvikwiriso zvisere.

³⁴And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.

³⁵Zvino wakandiisa kusuwo rokumusoro, akariyera nezviyero izvi;

³⁵And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;

³⁶makamuri aro, nembiru dzaro, namaberere aro; makanga muna mahwindo mukati maro kumativi ose; pakureba zvakaita mamita makumi mashanu, napahupamhi mamita makumi maviri namashanu.

³⁶The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

³⁷Mbiru dzaro dzakanga dzakatarira kuruvanze rwokunze; kwakanga kune michindwe yakavezwa pambiru dzaro, nechemberi necheseri; chikwiriso charo chakanga chine zvikwiriso zvisere.

³⁷And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.

³⁸Pambiru napamasuwo pakanga pane kamuri yaiva nomukova wayo; ndipo pavaisuka zvipiriso zvinopiswa.

³⁸And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.

³⁹Muberere resuwo makanga muna matafura uku maviri nechemberi, namatafura maviri necheseri, pokubayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvibayiro zvezvivi nezvibayiro zvemhosva.

³⁹And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

⁴⁰Kurutivi rwokunze, kana munhu achikwira kundopinda pasuwo kurutivi rwokumusoro kwakanga kuna matafura maviri, uye kuno rumwe rutivi rweberere resuwo, kwakanga kuna matafura maviri.

⁴⁰And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.

⁴¹Kwakanga kuna matafura mana kune rumwe rutivi, namatafura mana kurutivi rweseri, kurutivi rwesuwo, matafura masere paibayirwa zvibayiro.

⁴¹Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.

⁴²Kwakanga kuna matafura mana amabwe akavezwa, ezvipiriso zvinopiswa; pakureba akasvika mita nehafu, pahupamhi mita nehafu, pakukwirira mita nehafu; ndipo pavakaisa nhumbi dzavaibayira nadzo zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvibayiro.

⁴²And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

⁴³Haka dzakanga dzakaita soupamhi hwechanza pakureba kwadzo, dzakanga dzakasungirwa kumativi ose; pamatafura pakanga pane nyama yokuvonga.

⁴³And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.

⁴⁴Kunze kwesuwo romukati kwakanga kuna makamuri avaimbi voruvanze rwomukati, rwaiva kurutivi rwesuwo rokumusoro; iwo akatarira kurutivi rwezasi, rimwe kurutivi rwamabvazuva richitarira kurutivi rwokumusoro.

⁴⁴And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

⁴⁵Zvino akati kwandiri, Kamuri iri, rakatarira kurutivi rwezasi, nderavapristi, ivo vachengeti vebasa reimba;

⁴⁵And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

⁴⁶kamuri, rakatarira kurutivi rwokumusoro, nderavapristi, vachengeti vebasa rearitari; ndivo vanakomana vaZadhoki, vanobva pakati pavanakomana vaRevi vachaswedera kuna Jehovha kuzomushumira.

⁴⁶And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.

⁴⁷Zvino akayera ruvanze, zvikaita mamita ane zana pakureba, namamita ane zana paupamhi, mativi mana akaenzana; aritari yakanga iri pamberi peimba.

⁴⁷So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.

⁴⁸Zvino akandiisa paberere reimba, akayera mbiru imwe neimwe yeberere, zvikaita makubhiti mashanu kune rumwe rutivi, namamita mashanu kurutivi rweseri; upamhi bwesuwo hwakaita mamita matatu kune rumwe rutivi mamita matatu kurutivi rweseri.

⁴⁸And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

⁴⁹Kureba kweberere kwakanga kuchiita mamita makumi maviri, noupamhi mamita ane gumi nerimwe, ipapo pazvikwiriso zvavaikwira nazvo; pambiru dzesuwo pakanga pane dzimwe mbiru, imwe kuno rumwe rutivi, neimwe kurutivi rweseri.

⁴⁹The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
