¹Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Aroni, Iwe navanakomana vako, naveimba yababa vako pamwechete newe, munofanira kutakura zvakaipa zveimba tsvene; iwe navanakomana vako pamwechete newe munofanira kutakura zvakaipa zvoupristi bwenyu.

¹And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

²Nehama dzako dzorudzi rwaRevhi, dzorudzi rwababa vako, udziswededze pamwechete newe, dzive newe, dzikubatire; asi iwe navanakomana vako pamwechete newe, munofanira kuva pamberi petende rechipupuriro.

²And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.

³Vanofanira kukuchengeta iwe nokuchengeta Tende rose; asi havafaniri kuswedera kunhumbi dzeimba tsvene nearitari, kuti varege kufa, kana ivo kana imwi.

³And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.

⁴Vanofanira kuva newe, nokuchengeta tende rokusangana, nokuita mabasa ose etende; asina kufanira haafaniri kuswedera kwamuri.

⁴And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

⁵Munofanira kuchengeta imba tsvene, nokuchengeta aritari, kuti kutsamwa kurege kuuya pamusoro pavana vaIsiraeri.

⁵And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

⁶Ini ndimene, tarirai, ndakatsaura hama dzenyu vaRevhi pakati pavana vaIsiraeri, vave chipo kwamuri, vanhu vakapiwa Jehovha, kuti vabate mabasa etende rokusangana.

⁶And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁷Iwe navana vako pamwechete newe munofanira kubata basa roupristi bwenyu pazvinhu zvose zvearitari, nezvose zviri mukati mechidzitiro; ndipo pamunofanira kubata; ndinokupai upristi, chive chipo chebasa; asi asina kufanira, anoswedera, anofanira kuurawa.

⁷Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

⁸Jehovha akataurawo naAroni, akati, Ini, tarira, ndakakupa basa rokuchengeta zvipiriso zvangu zvinotsaurwa, izvo zvinhu zvose zvakatsaurwa zvavana vaIsiraeri; ndakakupa izvo uve mugove wako nowavanakomana vako nokusingaperi.

⁸And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.

⁹Zvinhu izvi ndizvo zvinofanira kuva zvako pazvinhu zvitsvene zvikuru, zvakasara kana zvimwe zvapiswa, zvinoti: Zvipo zvavo zvose, izvo zvipiriso zvavo zvose zvoupfu, nezvipiriso zvavo zvose zvezvivi, nezvipiriso zvavo zvose zvemhosva, zvavanondipa, izvo zvinofanira kuva zvitsvene zvikuru kwauri nokuvanakomana vako.

⁹This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

¹⁰Munofanira kuzvidya panzvimbo tsvene-tsvene; varume vose vanofanira kuzvidya; zvinofanira kuva zvitsvene kwamuri.

¹⁰In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.

¹¹Izvi ndizvo zvako: Chipiriso chinotsaurwa nezvipo zvavo, izvo zvipiriso zvose zvinozunguzirwa zvavana vaIsiraeri; ndakakupa izvo, iwe, navanakomana vako, navanasikana vako pamwechete newe, zvive zvenyu nokusingaperi; vose vakanaka mumba mako vangazvidya.

¹¹And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

¹²Ndakakupa mafuta ose akaisvonaka, newaini yakaisvonaka, nezviyo zvose zvakaisvonaka, izvo zvitsva zvazvo zvavanopa Jehovha.

¹²All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.

¹³Zvibereko zvitsva zvose nezvose zviri munyika yavo, zvavanouya nazvo kuna Jehovha, zvinofanira kuva zvako; mumwe nomumwe akanaka mumba mako angazvidya.

¹³And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.

¹⁴Zvose zvakayeriswa pakati palsiraeri zvinofanira kuva zvako.

¹⁴Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

¹⁵Zvose zvinotanga kuzarura chizvaro, panyama yose yavanouyisa kuna Jehovha, kana zviri zvavanhu, kana zvezvipfuwo, zvinofanira kuva zvako; kunyange zvakadaro matangwe avanhu unofanira kuadzikunura; vana vose vemhongora dzezvipfuwo unofanira kuvadzikunurawo.

¹⁵Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.

¹⁶Zvose zvinofanira kudzikunurwa pazviri, zvomwedzi mumwe nezvinopfuura, unofanira kuzvidzikunura sezvaunotara iwe, nemari inosvika pamashekeri mashanu, zvichienzaniswa neshekeri rapaimba tsvene (rakaenzana namagera ana makumi maviri.)

¹⁶And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

¹⁷Asi usadzikunura mwana wemhongora yemombe, kana yegwai, kana yembudzi, zvitsvene; unofanira kusasa ropa razvo pamusoro pearitari, nokupisa mafuta azvo, chive chipiriso chinopiswa, chive chinonhuhwira zvakanaka kuna Jehovha.

¹⁷But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto the LORD.

¹⁸Asi nyama yazvo inofanira kuva yako, zvinofanira kuva zvako sechityu chinozunguzirwa nebandauko rorudyi.

¹⁸And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.

¹⁹Zvipiriso zvose zvinotsaurwa zvezvinhu zvinopiwa Jehovha navana vaIsiraeri, ndakakupa izvo, iwe navanakomana vako navanasikana vako pamwechete newe, zvive zvako nokusingaperi; isungano yomunyu nokusingaperi pamberi paJehovha, kwauri navazukuru vako pamwechete newe.

¹⁹All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

²⁰Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Aroni, Iwe haungavi nenhaka panyika yavo, haungavi nomugove pakati pavo; ini ndiri mugove wako nenhaka yako pakati pavana valsiraeri.

²⁰And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

²¹Tarira, vana vaRevhi ndakavapa zvegumi zvezvose zvavana vaIsiraeri, ive nhaka yavo, uve mubayiro webasa ravanobata, iro basa rapatende rokusangana.

²¹And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

²²Kubva zvino vana vaIsiraeri ngavarege kuswedera kutende rokusangana, kuti varege kuva nemhosva yezvivi zvavo, vakafa.

²²Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

²³Asi vaRevhi vanofanira kubata basa rapatende rokusangana, ivo vanofanira kutakura zvakaipa zvavo; unofanira kuva mutemo nokusingaperi kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose; havangavi nenhaka pakati pavana vaIsiraeri.

²³But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

²⁴nekuti zvegumi zvavana vaIsiraeri zvavanopa Jehovha, zvive zvipiriso zvinotsaurwa, ndizvo zvandakapa vaRevhi, kuti ive nhaka yavo; naizvozvo ndakati kwavari, havangavi nenhaka pakati pavana vaIsiraeri.

²⁴But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

²⁵Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,

²⁵And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁶Taura navaRevhi, uti kwavari, Kana muchitora kuvana vaIsiraeri zvegumi zvavo zvandakakupai, kuti ive nhaka yenyu, munofanira kupa Jehovha chegumi chezvegumi izvo, chive chipiriso chinotsaurwa.

²⁶Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.

²⁷Chipiriso chenyu chinotsaurwa chichaverengwa kwamuri sezviyo zviri paburiro, uye sewaini izere muchisviniro chewaini.

²⁷And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

²⁸Saizvozvo nemiwo muchapa Jehovha chipiriso chinotsaurwa chezvegumi zvenyu zvose zvamunopiwa navana vaIsiraeri; zvino kuna izvozvo munofanira kupa Aroni mupristi chipiriso chinotsaurwa chaJehovha.

²⁸Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.

²⁹Pazvose zvamunopiwa, munofanira kupa Jehovha zvipiriso zvenyu zvose zvinotsaurwa, muchitsaura zvakaisvonaka kwazviri, mugove wakatsaurwa pakati pazvo.

²⁹Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.

³⁰Naizvozvo uti kwavari, Kana matsaura zvakaisvonaka kwazviri, zvinofanira kuverengerwa vaRevhi sezvakapurwa paburiro, nezvakasviniwa pachisviniro chewaini.

³⁰Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

³¹Munofanira kuzvidya panzvimbo dzose, imwi nemhuri dzenyu; nekuti ndiwo mubayiro wenyu webasa ramunobata patende rokusangana.

³¹And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

³²Hamungazovi nezvivi nokuda kwazvo, kana mambotsaura zvakaisvonaka kwazviri; hamufaniri kuzvidza zvinhu zvitsvene zvavana vaIsiraeri, kuti murege kufa.

³²And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
