¹Zvino negore ramakumi maviri namashanu rokutapwa kwedu, pakutanga kwegore, nezuva regumi romwedzi, negore regumi namana rakatevera kurohwa kweguta, nezuva iroro, ruoko rwaJehovha rwakanga ruri pamusoro pangu.

¹In the twenty and fifth year of our removal, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in this self-same day hath a hand of Jehovah been upon me, and He bringeth me in thither;

²Pane zvandakaratidzwa naMwari, akandisvitsa munyika yaIsiraeri, akandiisa pagomo refu-refu, pakanga pane chinhu chakanga chakafanana neguta kurutivi rwezasi.

²in visions of God He hath brought me in unto the land of Israel, and causeth me to rest on a very high mountain, and upon it [is] as the frame of a city on the south.

³Akandiisako; zvino tarira, kwakanga kuno murume, pakuonekwa kwake akanga akaita sendarira, anorwonzi muruoko rwake, norutsanga rwokuyeresa narwo; akamira pasuwo.

³And He bringeth me in thither, and lo, a man, his appearance as the appearance of brass, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate,

⁴Murume uyo akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, tarira nameso ako, inzwa nenzeve dzako, urangarire nomoyo wako zvose zvandichakuratidza; nekuti wakasvitswa pano kuti ndikuratidze izvozvo; paridzira imba yaIsiraeri zvose zvaunoona.

⁴and the man speaketh unto me: `Son of man, see with thine eyes, And with thine ears hear, And set thy heart to all that I am shewing thee, For, in order to shew [it] thee, Thou hast been brought in hither, Declare all that thou art seeing to the house of Israel.`

⁵Zvino tarira, kwakanga kuno rusvingo rwakapoteredza imba nechokunze; muruoko rwomurume uyo makanga munorutsanga rwokuyeresa narwo, rwakasvika mamita matanhatu pakureba kwarwo, rimwe nerimwe richiitawo mita imwe nohupamhi bwechanza; ipapo akayera ukobvu hworusvingo, hukaita rutsanga rumwe, nokureba rutsanga rumwe.

⁵And lo, a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the hand of the man a measuring-reed, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measureth the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed.

⁶Zvino wakasvika pasuwo rakatarira kurutivi rwamabvazuva, akakwira nezvikwiriso zvaro, akayera chikumbaridzo chesuwo, zvikaita rutsanga rumwe, nechimwe chikumbaridzozve, zvikaita rutsanga rumwe.

⁶And he cometh in unto the gate whose front [is] eastward, and he goeth up by its steps, and he measureth the threshold of the gate one reed broad, even the one threshold one reed broad,

⁷Kamuri imwe neimwe yavarindi yakanga yakaita rutsanga rumwe pakureba, norutsanga rumwe paupamhi; pakati pamakamuri pakanga panamamita mashanu; uye chikumbaridzo chesuwo paberere resuwo kurutivi rweimba chakaita rutsanga rumwe.

⁷and the little chamber one reed long and one reed broad, and between the little chambers five cubits, and the threshold of the gate, from the side of the porch of the gate from within, one reed.

⁸Akayerawo berere resuwo kurutivi rweimba, zvikaita rutsanga rumwe.

⁸And he measureth the porch of the gate from within one reed,

⁹Ipapo akayera berere resuwo, zvikaita mamita masere, nembiru dzaro, mamita maviri; berere resuwo rakanga riri kurutivi rweimba.

⁹and he measureth the porch of the gate eight cubits, and its posts two cubits, and the porch of the gates from within,

¹⁰Makamuri esuwo rokumabvazuva aiva matatu nechemberi namatatu necheseri, ose matatu aiva nechiyero chimwe, nembiru dzaiva nechiyero chimwe nechemberi necheseri.

¹⁰and the little chambers of the gate eastward, three on this side, and three on that side; one measure [is] to them three, and one measure [is] to the posts, on this side and on that side.

¹¹Akayera upamhi hwomukova bwesuwo, zvikaita mamita ane gumi; nokureba kwesuwo, mamita ane gumi namatatu.

¹¹And he measureth the breadth of the opening of the gate ten cubits, the length of the gate thirteen cubits;

¹²Kwakanga kuno rumhanda pamberi pamakamuri, rwakaita mita rimwe nechemberi, norumhanda rwakaita mita rimwe necheseri.

¹²and a border before the little chambers, one cubit, and one cubit [is] the border on this side, and the little chamber [is] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

¹³Akayera suwo kubva padenga rekamuri imwe kusvikira padenga reimwe, zvikaita mamita makumi maviri namashanu pakufara; mukova mumwe wakatarisana nomumwe mukova.

¹³And he measureth the gate from the roof of the [one] little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth twenty and five cubits, opening over-against opening.

¹⁴Akaitawo mbiru, dzakasvika mamita makumi matanhatu; ruvanze rwakanga rwakapoteredza suwo kusvikira pambiru.

¹⁴And he maketh the posts of sixty cubits, even unto the post of the court, the gate all round about;

¹⁵Zvino kubva pamberi pesuwo, pavanopinda napo, kusvikira pamberi peberere resuwo romukati, zvakaita mamita makumi mashanu.

¹⁵and by the front of the gate of the entrance, by the front of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits;

¹⁶Mumakamuri makanga muna mahwindo akapfigwa, nomumbiru dzawo mukati mesuwo kumativi ose, saizvozvowo pamaberere; mahwindo akanga aripowo kumativi ose nechomukati; pambiru imwe neimwe pakanga pane miti yemichindwe.

¹⁶and narrow windows [are] unto the little chambers, and unto their posts at the inside of the gate all round about — and so to the arches — and windows all round about [are] at the inside, and at the post [are] palm-trees.

¹⁷Zvino akandiisa muruvanze rokunze, ndikaona makamuri neguva rakarongwa namabwe, zvakaitirwa ruvanze kumativi ose; kwakanga kuna makamuri makumi matatu paguva rakarongwa.

¹⁷And he bringeth me in unto the outer court, and lo, chambers and a pavement made for the court all round about — thirty chambers on the pavement —

¹⁸Guva rakarongwa rakanga riri kurutivi rwamasuwo, rakaenzana pakureba kwaro namasuwo, iro guva rakarongwa rapasi.

¹⁸and the pavement unto the side of the gates over-against the length of the gates [is] the lower pavement;

¹⁹Zvino wakayera hupamhi kubva pamberi pesuwo rapazasi kusvikira kunze pamberi poruvanze rwomukati, zvikaita mamita ane zana, kurutivi rwamabvazuva nokurutivi rwokumusoro.

¹⁹and he measureth the breadth from before the lower gate, to the front of the inner court, on the outside, a hundred cubits, eastward and northward.

²⁰Wakayerawo kureba nohupamhi bwesuwo roruvanze rwokunze rakatarira kurutivi rwokumusoro.

²⁰As to the gate of the outer court whose front [is] northward, he hath measured its length and its breadth;

²¹Makamuri aro aiva matatu nechemberi, namatatu necheseri; mbiru dzaro namaberere aro zvakanga zvakaenzana nechiyero chesuwo rokutanga; kureba kwaro kwakasvika mamita makumi mashanu nohupamhi mamita makumi maviri namashanu.

²¹and its little chambers, three on this side, and three on that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits its length, and the breadth five and twenty by the cubit;

²²Mahwindo aro, namaberere aro, nemichindwe yaro zvakanga zvakaenzana nechiyero chesuwo rakatarira kurutivi rwamabvazuva; vanhu vaikwirako nezvikwiriso zvinomwe; maberere aro akanga ari pamberi paro.

²²and its windows, and its arches, and its palm-trees [are] according to the measure of the gate whose face [is] eastward, and by seven steps they go up on it, and its arches [are] before them.

²³Muruvazhe rwomukati makanga munesuwo rakatarisana nerimwe suwo, kurutivi rwokumusoro nokurutivi rwamabvazuva; akayera kubva kune rimwe suwo kusvikira kune rimwe suwo zvikaita makubhiti ane zana.

²³And the gate of the inner court [is] over-against the gate at the north and at the east; and he measureth from gate unto gate, a hundred cubits.
