¹Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi akati,

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²Taura navana vaIsiraeri kuti vandipe chipo; munditorere chipo kune mumwe nomumwe anoda kundiitira izvozvo nomoyo wake.

²`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do take My heave-offering.

³Ndicho chipo chamunofanira kutora kwavari: Ndarama, nesirivha, nendarira,

³`And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from them; gold, and silver, and brass,

⁴nezvakarukwa zvitema, nezvishava, nezvitsvuku, nemicheka yakaisvonaka, nemvere dzembudzi,

⁴and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats` [hair],

⁵namatebwe amakondobwe akazodzwa zvitsvuku, namatebwe amatenhe, namatanda omuakasia,

⁵and rams` skins made red, and badgers` skins, and shittim wood,

⁶namafuta emwenje, nezvinonhuhwira zvamafuta okuzodza, noupfu unonhuhwira,

⁶oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the perfume of the spices,

⁷nezvibwe zveonikisi, nezvibwe zvokuisa paefodhi napahombodo yechipfuva.

⁷shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

⁸Ngavandiitire nzvimbo tsvene, kuti ndigare pakati pavo;

⁸`And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst;

⁹sezvandichakuratidza zvose, iwo mufananidzo wetabhenakeri, nomufananidzo wenhumbi dzayo dzose, munofanira kuita saizvozvo.

⁹according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so ye do make [it].

¹⁰Ngavaite areka yamatanda omuakasia, kureba kwayo kunofanira kuva makubhiti maviri nehafu, noupamhi hwayo kubhiti rimwe nehafu, nokukwira kwayo kubhiti rimwe nehafu.

¹⁰`And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

¹¹Unofanira kuifukidza nendarama yakaisvonaka, uifukidze nechomukati nechokunze, uite pamusoro payo hata yendarama inoipoteredza.

¹¹and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about.

¹²Uiumbire zvindori zvina zvendarama, uzviise pamakumbo ayo mana, zvindori zviviri zvive parutivi rumwe, nezvindori zviviri panorumwe rutivi.

¹²`And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

¹³Uveze matanda omuakasia, ndokuafukidza nendarama.

¹³and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] gold,

¹⁴Ugopinza matanda iwayo muzvindori zviri panhivi dzeareka, kuti areka itakurwe nawo.

¹⁴and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark by them,

¹⁵Matanda anofanira kugara muzvindori zveareka, ngaarege kubviswa kwazviri.

¹⁵in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it;

¹⁶Zvino unofanira kuisa mukati meareka chipupuriro chandichakupa.

¹⁶and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee.

¹⁷Uitewo chifunhiro chokuyananisa nendarama yakaisvonaka; kureba kwacho makubhiti maviri nehafu; noupamhi hwacho kubhiti rimwe nehafu.

¹⁷`And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

¹⁸Uitewo makerubhi maviri endarama uaite nendarama yakapambadzirwa pamiromo miviri yechifunhiro chokuyananisa.

¹⁸and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

¹⁹Ita kerubhi rimwe pamuromo mumwe nerimwe kerubhi pano mumwe muromo; uite makerubhi pamiromo yacho miviri zvive chinhu chimwe nechifunhiro chokuyananisa.

¹⁹and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends.

²⁰Makerubhi atambanudzire mapapiro avo kumusoro, akafukidza chifunhiro chokuyananisa.

²⁰`And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another — towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs.

²¹Uise chifunhiro chokuyananisa pamusoro peareka, ugoisa mukati meareka chipupuriro chandichakupa.

²¹`And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee;

²²Ndipo pandichasangana newe, nditaure newe, ndiri pamusoro pechifunhiro chokuyananisa, pamusoro peareka yechipupuriro, ndikuudze zvose zvandichakupa, kuti uraire vanhu valsiraeri.

²²and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which [are] on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.

²³Itawo tafura yamatanda omuakasia, kureba kwayo makubhiti maviri, noupamhi hwayo kubhiti rimwe nokukwirira kwayo kubhiti rimwe nehafu.

²³`And thou hast made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,

²⁴Uifukidze nendarama yakaisvonaka, ugoiitirawo hata yendarama inoipoteredza.

²⁴and hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, and hast made for it a crown of gold round about,

²⁵Uiitire ukomba unoipoteredza, unoupamhi sobwechanza, ugoiitirawo hata yendarama inopoteredza ukomba hwayo.

²⁵and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about.

²⁶Uiitire zvindori zvina zvendarama, ugoisa zvindori pamakona mana ari pamakumbo ayo mana.

²⁶`And thou hast made to it four rings of gold, and hast put the rings on the four corners, which [are] to its four feet;

²⁷Zvindori zvive pedo noukomba, pave pokutakura tafura napo namatanda.

²⁷over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table;

²⁸Matanda uaite nomuakasia, uafukidze nendarama, tafura igotakurwa nawo.

²⁸and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them;

²⁹Uitewo midziyo yayo, nembiya dzayo, nezvirongo zvayo, nemikombe yayo yokudira nayo; uzviite nendarama yakaisvonaka.

²⁹and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them;

³⁰Misi yose unofanira kuisa pamberi pangu patafura chingwa chokuratidza.

³⁰and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.

³¹Unofanira kuitawo chigadziko chemwenje chendarama yakaisvonaka; chigadziko chiitwe nendarama yakapambadzirwa, chigadziko chacho, nehunde yacho, nezvimbiya zvacho, namapfundo acho, namaruva acho; zvose ngazviitwe chive chinhu chimwe nacho;

³¹`And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same;

³²kumativi acho ngakubude matavi matanhatu; matavi matatu echigadziko kuno rumwe rutivi rwacho, namatavi matatu echigadziko kuno rumwe rutivi rwacho.

³²and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the second side;

³³Ngapave nezvimbiya zvitatu zvakaumbwa samaruva omuamanda padavi rimwe, nepfundo, neruva, nezvimbiya zvitatu zvakaumbwa samaruva omuamanda pane rimwe davi, nepfundo, neruva: saizvozvo matavi matanhatu anobuda pachigadziko;

³³three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out from the candlestick.

³⁴uye pachigadziko pave nezvimbiya zvina zvakaumbwa samaruva azvo;

³⁴`And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knops and its flowers;

³⁵nepfundo panyasi pamatavi maviri akaumbwa pamwechete nacho, nepfundo panyasi pamamwe matavi akaumbwa pamwechete nacho, nepfundo panyasi pamatavi maviri akaumbwa pamwechete nacho, akafanana namatavi matanhatu anobuda pachigadziko.

³⁵and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick;

³⁶Mapfundo azvo namatavi azvo ngazvive pamwechete nazvo; zvose zvive chinhu chimwe chakaumbwa nendarama yakaisvonaka yakapambadzirwa.

³⁶their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;

³⁷Uitewo mwenje yacho minomwe; vagotungidza mwenje yacho, kuti ivhenekere pamberi pacho.

³⁷and thou hast made its seven lamps, and [one] hath caused its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its front.

³⁸Nembato dzacho, nendiro dzacho, nemwenje yacho, zviumbwe nendarama yakaisvonaka.

³⁸`And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;

³⁹Ngazviumbwe netarenda rendarama yakaisvonaka, pamwechete nemidziyo iyoyo yose.

³⁹of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels.

⁴⁰Uchenjerere kuti uzviite nomufananidzo wazvo wawakaratidzwa pagomo.

⁴⁰And see thou and do [them] by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount.
