¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²Taura neungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, uti kwavari, Ivai vatsvene, nekuti ini Jehovha Mwari wenyu ndiri mutsvene.

²Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.

⁶It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.

⁷Kana chikatongodyiwa nezuva retatu, zvinonyangadza; hachigamuchirwi.

⁷And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.

⁸Asi mumwe nomumwe unochidya, uchava nemhosva, nekuti wamhura chinhu chitsvene chaJehovha; munhu uyu anofanira kubviswa pakati porudzi rwake.

⁸Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

⁹Kana muchikohwa gohwo reminda yenyu, rega kukohwa micheto yomunda wako, uye usaunganidza zvawira pasi pakukohwa kwako.

⁹And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

¹⁹Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.

²⁰Ani naani unovata nomukadzi ari murandakadzi, wakanyengwa nomurume, asina kudzikunurwa kwazvo, kana kusunungurwa, vanofanira kurohwa; asi havafaniri kuurawa, nekuti wakange asina kusunungurwa.

²³And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

²⁴Asi negore rechina michero yayo yose ichava mitsvene, kuti murumbidze Jehovha nazvo.

²⁴But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.

²⁵Negore rechishanu mungadya michero yayo; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
