¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²Nomusi wokutanga womwedzi unofanira kumisa tabhenakeri netende rokusangana.

²`On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

³Unofanira kuisa mukati mayo areka yechipupuriro, nokudzitira areka nechidzitiro.

³and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,

⁴Upinzewo tafura, nokugadzira zvinhu zvinofanira kuva pamusoro payo; upinzewo chigadziko chemwenje, ugotungidza mwenje yacho.

⁴and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.

⁵Uisewo aritari yendarama yezvinonhuhwira pamberi peareka yechipupuriro, ugoisa chidzitiro chomukova wetabhenakeri.

⁵`And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

⁶Zvino uisewo aritari yezvibayiro zvinopiswa pamberi pomukova wetabhenakeri yetende rokusangana.

⁶and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

⁷Uisewo mudziyo wokushambidzira pakati petende rokusangana nearitari, ugodira mvura mukati mawo.

⁷and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.

⁸Zvino ugadzirewo ruvanze nokurembedza chidzitiro chesuwo roruvanze.

⁸`And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,

⁹Utorewo mafuta okuzodza nawo, uzodze tabhenakeri nawo, nezvose zviri mukati mayo; ugoitsaura, iyo nezvose zvirimo, kuti chive chinhu chitsvene.

⁹and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;

¹⁰Uzodzewo aritari nezvibayiro zvinopiswa, nemidziyo yayo yose, kuti utsaure aritari, aritari chive chinhu chitsvene-tsvene.

¹⁰and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;

¹¹Uzodzewo mudziyo wokushambidzira nechigadziko chawo, uutsaure.

¹¹and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

¹²Zvino uswededze Aroni navanakomana vake kumukova wetende rokusangana, ugovashambidza nemvura.

¹²`And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

¹³Ipapo ufukidze Aroni nguvo tsvene, ugomuzodza nokumutsaura, kuti andishumire pabasa roupristi.

¹³and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.

¹⁴Uswededzewo vanakomana vake, ugovafukidza nguvo.

¹⁴`And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,

¹⁵Uvazodze, sezvawazodza baba vavo, kuti vandishumire pabasa roupristi; kuzodzwa kwavo kunofanira kuva kwavari upristi nokusingaperi, kusvikira kumarudzi avo ose.

¹⁵and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.`

¹⁶Mozisi akaita saizvozvo; zvose zvaakanga arairwa naJehovha, wakazviita saizvozvo.

¹⁶And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.

¹⁷Tabhenakeri ikamiswa nomwedzi wokutanga wegore rechipiri nomusi wokutanga womwedzi.

¹⁷And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;

¹⁸Mozisi akamisa tabhenakeri, akaisa zvigadziko zvayo, akamisa mapuranga ayo, akaisa mbariro dzayo, nokumisa mbiru dzayo.

¹⁸and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars,

¹⁹Akawarira tende pamusoro petabhenakeri, akaisa chifukidzo chetende pamusoro payo, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

¹⁹and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

²⁰Akatora chipupuriro, akachiisa muareka, akapinza matanda paareka, akaisa chifunhiro chokuyananisa pamusoro peareka;

²⁰And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above;

²¹akapi nza areka mutabhenakeri, akarembedza chidzitiro chokudzitira nacho, akadzitira areka yechipupuriro; sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²¹and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

²²Akaisa tafura mutende rokusangana, kurutivi rwetabhenakeri nechokumusoro, kunze kwechidzitiro.

²²And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail,

²³Akagadzirawo chingwa pamusoro payo pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²³and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

²⁴Akaisa chigadziko chemwenje mutende rokusangana, chakatarisana netafura, kurutivi rwetabhenakeri nechenyasi.

²⁴And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward,

²⁵Akatungidza mwenje pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²⁵and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

²⁶Akaisa aritari yendarama mutende rokusangana pamberi pechidzitiro;

²⁶And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,

²⁷akapisirapo zvinonhuhwira zvemiti yakanaka, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²⁷and maketh perfume on it — spice-perfume — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

²⁸Akagadzira zvirembedzwa zvomukova wetabhenakeri.

²⁸And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

²⁹Akaisa aritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa pamukova wetabhenakeri yetende rokusangana, akapisira pamusoro payo chipiriso chinopiswa, nechipiriso choupfu; sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

²⁹and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

³⁰Akaisa mudziyo wokushambidzira pakati petende rokusangana nearitari, akaisa mukati mayo mvura yokushambidza nayo.

³⁰And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,

³¹Ipapo Mozisi naAroni navanakomana vake vakashamba maoko avo netsoka dzavopo;

³¹and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;

³²pakupinda kwavo mutende rokusangana, napakuswedera kwavo kuaritari, vaishamba, sezvakanga zvarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

³²in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

³³Akagadzirawo ruvanze rwaipoteredza tabhenakeri nearitari, akarembedza chidzitiro chesuwo roruvanze. Naizvozvo Mozisi akapedza basa rose.

³³And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.

³⁴Ipapo gore rakafukidza tende rokusangana, kubwinya kwaJehovha kukazadza tabhenakeri.

³⁴And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;

³⁵Mozisi akasagona kupinda mutende rokusangana, nekuti gore rakaramba rigere pamusoro paro uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakanga kwazadza tabhenakeri.

³⁵and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.

³⁶Zvino kana gore rokwidzwa richibva pamusoro petabhenakeri, vana vaIsiraeri vakapfuura vachifamba nzendo dzavo dzose.

³⁶And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;

³⁷Asi kana gore risina kukwidzwa, havana kufamba, kusvikira musi warinozokwidzwa.

³⁷and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:

³⁸nekuti gore raJehovha rakanga riri pamusoro petabhenakeri masikati, nomoto waiva mariri usiku, pamberi pavose veimba yaIsiraeri panzendo dzavo dzose.

³⁸for the cloud of Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
