¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi murenje reSinai pamwedzi wokutanga wegore rechipiri rokubuda kwavo panyika yeEgipita akati,

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

²Vana vaIsiraeri vanofanira kutamba Pasika panguva yayo yakatarwa.

²Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

³Nezuva regumi namana romwedzi uno, madekwana, munofanira kuitamba panguva yayo yakatarwa; munofanira kuitamba muchiteerera mitemo yayo yose nemirairo yayo yose.

³In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.

⁴Ipapo Mozisi akataura navana vaIsiraeri, kuti vatambe Pasika.

⁴And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.

⁵Ivo vakatamba Pasika nomwedzi wokutanga, nezuva regumi namana romwedzi, madekwana, murenje reSinai zvese sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha, ndizvo zvakaita vana vaIsiraeri.

⁵And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

⁶Zvino kwakanga kuna vamwe varume vakanga vasina kunaka nokuda kwechitunha chomunhu, naizvozvo vakanga vasingagoni kudya Pasika nomusi iwoyo; naizvozvo vakauya kuna Mozisi naAroni nomusi iwoyo;

⁶And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

⁷varume ava vakati kwaari, Hatina kunaka nokuda kwechitunha chomunhu; tingadziviswa seiko kupa chipo chaJehovha nenguva yacho yakatarwa pakati pavana vaIsiraeri?

⁷And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?

⁸Mozisi akati kwavari, Mirai, ndinzwe zvinorairwa naJehovha pamusoro penyu.

⁸And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

⁹Jehovha akataura naMozisi akati,

⁹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰Taura navana vaIsiraeri, uti, Kana mumwe wenyu, kana wavana venyu, achinge ava usina kunaka nokuda kwechitunha, kana zvimwe ari kurwendo ruri kure, kunyange zvakadaro anofanira kutamba Pasika yaJehovha.

¹⁰Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.

¹¹Ivo vanofanira kuidya nomwedzi wechipiri, nezuva regumi namana, madekwana; vanofanira kuidya nechingwa chisina kuviriswa nemiriwo inovava.

¹¹The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

¹²Havafaniri kusiya zvimwe kusvikira mangwana, kana kuvhuna pfupa rimwe rayo, asi vanofanira kuitamba vachiteerera mitemo yose yePasika.

¹²They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.

¹³Asi kana munhu akanaka hake, asati ari parwendo, akasadya Pasika, munhu iyeye unofanira kubviswa pakati porudzi rwake; zvaasina kupa chipo chaJehovha panguva yakatarwa, munhu uyo uchava nezvivi zvake.

¹³But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

¹⁴Kana ari mutorwa ugere nemi, akada kudya Pasika yaJehovha, anofanira kuidya achiteerera mutemo wePasika, nomurayiro wayo; munofanira kuva nomutemo mumwe, womutorwa nomunhu wakaberekerwa munyika.

¹⁴And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

¹⁵Nomusi wokumiswa kwetabhenakeri, gore rakafukidza tabhenakeri, iro tende rechipupuriro; madekwana rakanga riri pamusoro petabhenakeri rakaita somoto kusvikira mangwana.

¹⁵And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.

¹⁶Zvakanga zvakadaro nguva dzose; gore rakaifukidza, asi usiku rakanga rakaita somoto.

¹⁶So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

¹⁷Zvino nguva dzose kana gore richisimudzwa pamusoro petende, shure kwaizvozvo vana valsiraeri vaifamba; paindomira gore, ipapo vana vaIsiraeri vaidzika matende avo;

¹⁷And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

¹⁸sezvavairairwa naJehovha, vana vaIsiraeri vaifamba, sezvavairairwa naJehovha vaidzika matende avo; nguva yose kana gore rimire pamusoro petabhenakeri, ivo vairambira mumatende avo.

¹⁸At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

¹⁹Kana gore richirambira pamusoro petabhenakeri mazuva mazhinji,vana vaIsiraeri vaichengeta zvavakanga varairwa naJehovha, vakasafamba.

¹⁹And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.

²⁰Dzimwe nguva gore raigara pamusoro petabhenakeri mazuva mashomanene; zvino sezvairaira Jehovha vairamba vagere pamatende avo, uye sezvairaira Jehovha vaifamba.

²⁰And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

²¹Dzimwe nguva gore raivapo kubva madeko kusvikira mangwana; zvino kana gore richisimudzwa mangwana, vaifamba; kana masikati kana usiku, kana gore richisimudzwa, vaifamba.

²¹And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

²²Kana gore rikaramba riri pamusoro payo, vana vaIsiraeri vairamba vagere mumatende avo, vasingafambi; asi kana rasimudzwa, vaifamba.

²²Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

²³Sezvavairairwa naJehovha, vaidzika matende avo; sezvavairairwa naJehovha, vaifamba; vaichengeta zvavakanga varairwa naJehovha, sezvakarairwa Jehovha nomuromo waMozisi.

²³At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
