¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²Ndiwo murayiro womunhu una maperembudzi nomusi wokunatswa kwake: Unofanira kuiswa kumupristi;

²`This is a law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing, that he hath been brought in unto the priest,

³zvino mupristi anofanira kubuda kunze kwemisasa, mupristi ugocherekedza munhu uyu; kana akaona kuti hosha yamaperembudzi yapora hayo kumunhu una maperembudzi;

³and the priest hath gone out unto the outside of the camp, and the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague of leprosy hath ceased from the leper,

⁴mupristi anofanira kuraira kuti unoda kunatswa atorerwe shiri mbiri mhenyu dzakanaka, nedanda romusidhari, nomucheka mutsvuku, nehisopi.

⁴and the priest hath commanded, and he hath taken for him who is to be cleansed, two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵Zvino mupristi araire kuti shiri imwe iurawe muhari yevhu, pamusoro pemvura inoyerera.

⁵`And the priest hath commanded, and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

⁶Zvino anofanira kutora shiri mhenyu, nedanda romusidhari, nomucheka mutsvuku, nehisopi, ndokuzvinyika pamwechete neshiri mhenyu muropa reshiri yakaurawa pamusoro pemvura inoyerera.

⁶[as to] the living bird, he taketh it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and hath dipped them and the living bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the running water,

⁷Zvino anofanira kurisasa kanomwe pamusoro pomunhu unoda kunatswa pamaperembudzi ake, ndokureva kuti wakanaka; ipapo woregedza shiri mhenyu, iende hayo kusango.

⁷and he hath sprinkled on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and hath pronounced him clean, and hath sent out the living bird on the face of the field.

⁸Zvino munhu unoda kunatswa anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake, nokuveura vhudzi rake rose, ndokushamba mumvura, agova wakanaka; pashure anofanira kupinda mukati memisasa, asi ngaagare kunze kwetende mazuva manomwe.

⁸`And he who is to be cleansed hath washed his garments, and hath shaved all his hair, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean, and afterwards he doth come in unto the camp, and hath dwelt at the outside of his tent seven days.

⁹Nomusi wechinomwe anofanira kuveura vhudzi rake rose romusoro wake, nendebvu dzake, netsiye dzake, aveure vhudzi rake rose; zvino ngaasuke nguvo dzake, ndokushamba muviri wake, agova wakanaka.

⁹`And it hath been, on the seventh day — he shaveth all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair he doth shave, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and hath been clean.

¹⁰Nomusi worusere anofanira kutora makwayana maviri amakondobwe, asina mhosva, negwayana rimwe resheche rine gore rimwe, risina mhosva, nezvegumi zvitatu zveefa youpfu hwakatsetseka, chive chipiriso choupfu, hwakakanyiwa namafuta, nerogi imwe yamafuta.

¹⁰`And on the eighth day he taketh two lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe-lamb, daughter of a year, a perfect one, and three tenth deals of flour [for] a present, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

¹¹Zvino mupristi, unomunatsa, anofanira kuisa munhu unoda kunatswa pamberi paJehovha, pamwechete nezvinhu izvi, pamukova wetende rokusangana;

¹¹`And the priest who is cleansing hath caused the man who is to be cleansed to stand with them before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting,

¹²mupristi ndokutora rimwe ramakwayana amakondobwe, ndokuribayira, chive chipiriso chemhosva, nerogi yamafuta, agozvizunguzira, chive chipiriso chokuzunguzira pamberi paJehovha;

¹²and the priest hath taken the one he-lamb, and hath brought it near for a guilt-offering, also the log of oil, and hath waved them — a wave offering before Jehovah.

¹³zvino anofanira kuuraya gwayana regondobwe pavanourayira chipiriso chezvivi nechipiriso chinopiswa panzvimbo tsvene; nekuti chipiriso chemhosva ndechomupristi sechipiriso chezvivi; chitsvene kwazvo.

¹³`And he hath slaughtered the lamb in the place where he slaughtereth the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy place; for like the sin-offering the guilt-offering is to the priest; it [is] most holy.

¹⁴Ipapo mupristi anofanira kutora rimwe ropa rechipiriso chemhosva, mupristi agoriisa pamucheto wenzeve yorudyi yomunhu unonatswa, napagumwe rorutsoka rwake rworudyi;

¹⁴`And the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest hath put on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;

¹⁵zvino mupristi anofanira kutora mamwe mafuta erogi, ndokuadira muchanza choruoko rwake rworuboshwe;

¹⁵and the priest hath taken of the log of oil, and hath poured on the left palm of the priest,

¹⁶zvino mupristi ngaanyike mutendeka wake worudyi mumafuta ari muruoko rwake rworuboshwe, asase mamwe mafuta nomumwe wake kanomwe pamberi paJehovha;

¹⁶and the priest hath dipped his right finger in the oil which [is] on his left palm, and hath sprinkled of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah.

¹⁷mamwe mafuta akasara muruoko rwake mupristi anofanira kuaisa pamucheto wenzeve yorudyi yomunhu unonatswa, napagumwe roruoko rwake rworudyi, napagumwe rorutsoka rwake rworudyi, pamusoro peropa rechipiriso chemhosva;

¹⁷`And of the residue of the oil which [is] on his palm, the priest putteth on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt-offering;

¹⁸mamwe mafuta akasara muruoko rwomupristi anofanira kuaisa pamusoro womunhu unonatswa; kuti mupristi amuyananisire pamberi paJehovha.

¹⁸and the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest, he putteth on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah.

¹⁹mupristi anofanira kupisa chipiriso chezvivi, kuti ayananisire munhu unonatswa, nokuda kokusanaka kwake; pashure anofanira kuuraya chipiriso chinopiswa;

¹⁹`And the priest hath made the sin-offering, and hath made atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterwards he doth slaughter the burnt-offering;

²⁰mupristi anofanira kupisa chipiriso chinopiswa, nechipiriso choupfu pamusoro pearitari, kuti mupristi amuyananisire, anake.

²⁰and the priest hath caused the burnt-offering to ascend, also the present, on the altar, and the priest hath made atonement for him, and he hath been clean.

²¹Kana ari murombo, asingagoni kuwana zvizhinji zvakadai, anofanira kutora gwayana rimwe regondobwe, chive chipiriso chemhosva chokuzunguzira, kumuyananisira, nechegumi cheefa youpfu hwakatsetseka, hwakakanyiwa namafuta, chive chipiriso choupfu, pamwechete nerogi yamafuta;

²¹`And if he [is] poor, and his hand is not reaching [these things], then he hath taken one lamb — a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth deal of flour mixed with oil for a present, and a log of oil,

²²nenjiva mbiri, notwana tuviri twenjiva, sezvaanogona kuwana; imwe chive chipiriso chezvivi, imwe chive chipiriso chinopiswa;

²²and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, which his hand reacheth to, and one hath been a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering;

²³nomusi worusere anofanira kuuya nazvo kumupristi pamusoro pokunatswa kwake, kumukova wetende rokusangana pamberi paJehovha.

²³and he hath brought them in on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah.

²⁴Zvino mupristi anofanira kutora gwayana rechipiriso chemhosva, nerogi yamafuta, mupristi agozvizunguzira, chive chipiriso chinozunguzirwa pamberi paJehovha;

²⁴`And the priest hath taken the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest hath waved them — a wave-offering before Jehovah;

²⁵zvino ngaauraye gwayana rechipiriso chemhosva, agotora rimwe ropa rechipiriso chemhosva, ariise pamucheto wenzeve yomunhu unonatswa, napagumwe roruoko rworudyi, napagumwe rorutsoka rwake rworudyi;

²⁵and he hath slaughtered the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and hath put on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;

²⁶zvino mupristi ngaadire mamwe mafuta muchanza choruoko rwake rworuboshwe;

²⁶and the priest doth pour of the oil on the left palm of the priest;

²⁷mupristi agosasa nomutendeka wake worudyi mamwe mafuta ari muruoko rwake rworuboshwe kanomwe pamberi paJehovha.

²⁷and the priest hath sprinkled with his right finger of the oil which [is] on his left palm, seven times before Jehovah.

²⁸Zvino mupristi ngaaise mamwe mafuta ari muruoko rwake pamucheto wenzeve yorudyi yomunhu unonatswa, napagumwe roruoko rwake rworudyi, napagumwe rorutsoka rwake rworudyi, panzvimbo yeropa rechipiriso chemhosva.

²⁸`And the priest hath put of the oil which [is] on his palm, on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering;

²⁹Mamwe mafuta akasara muruoko rwomupristi anofanira kuaisa pamusoro womunhu unonatswa, kuti amuyananisire pamberi paJehovha.

²⁹and the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest he doth put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him, before Jehovah.

³⁰Zvino anofanira kubayira njiva imwe, kana kana kenjiva, sezvaanogona kuwana;

³⁰`And he hath made the one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons (from that which his hand reacheth to,

³¹sezvaanogona kuwana, imwe chive chipiriso chezvivi, imwe chipiriso chinopiswa, pamwechete nechipiriso choupfu; kuti mupristi ayananisire munhu unonatswa pamberi paJehovha.

³¹[even] that which his hand reacheth to), the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt offering, besides the present, and the priest hath made atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Jehovah.

³²Ndiwo murayiro wehosha yamaperembudzi kumunhu usingagoni kuwana zvakakwanisira kunatswa kwake.

³²This [is] a law of him in whom [is] a plague of leprosy, whose hand reacheth not to his cleansing.`

³³Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi naAroni akati,

³³And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

³⁴Kana masvika kunyika yeKanani, iyo yandakupai, kuti ive yenyu, kana ndikaisa hosha yamaperembudzi muimba yenyika yenyu;

³⁴`When ye come in unto the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in a house [in] the land of your possession;

³⁵muridzi weimba anofanira kuuya kuzoudza mupristi, achiti, Ndinoona kuti imba yangu inenge ine hosha.

³⁵then hath he whose the house [is] come in and declared to the priest, saying, As a plague hath appeared to me in the house;

³⁶Ipapo mupristi anofanira kuraira kuti vabudise zvose zviri mumba, iye mupristi asina kupinda kundotarira hosha, kuti zvose zviri mumba zvirege kusvibiswa; pashure mupristi apinde kundotarira imba iyo.

³⁶and the priest hath commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest cometh in to see the plague (that all which [is] in the house be not unclean), and afterwards doth the priest come in to see the house;

³⁷Zvino ngaacherekedze hosha; kana akaona kuti hosha iri mumadziro eimba; ina mavara akapinda, akaita samatema kana matsvuku, akaita saakapinda mukati mamadziro,

³⁷and he hath seen the plague, and lo, the plague [is] in the walls of the house, hollow strakes, very green or very red, and their appearance [is] lower than the wall,

³⁸mupristi anofanira kubuda paimba, ndokuenda kumukova weimba, ndokupfiga imba mazuva manomwe;

³⁸and the priest hath gone out of the house unto the opening of the house, and hath shut up the house seven days.

³⁹zvino mupristi anofanira kudzokazve nezuva rechinomwe, kuti acherekedze; kana akaona kuti hosha yakapararira pamadziro eimba;

³⁹`And the priest hath turned back on the seventh day, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰mupristi anofanira kuraira kuti vabvise mabwe ane hosha paari, vaakandire panzvimbo isina kunaka kunze kweguta;

⁴⁰and the priest hath commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague [is], and have cast them unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place;

⁴¹ipapo ngaaraire kuti imba iparwe mukati mayo kunhivi dzose, mavhu avanopara agodururirwa kunze kweguta panzvimbo isina kunaka;

⁴¹and the house he doth cause to be scraped within round about, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;

⁴²zvino mamwe mabwe atorwe, aiswe panzvimbo yamamwe iwayo, iye atore aumbe imba naro.

⁴²and they have taken other stones, and brought [them] in unto the place of the stones, and other clay he taketh and hath daubed the house.

⁴³Kana hosha ikadzokazve, ikabuda muimba iyo, mabwe ambobviswa, imba yaparwa nokuuyiwa,

⁴³`And if the plague return, and hath broken out in the house, after he hath drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the daubing;

⁴⁴mupristi anofanira kupinda nokucherekedza; kana akaona kuti hosha yapararira mumba, ndiwo maperembudzi akaipa kwazvo, yava yakaipa.

⁴⁴then hath the priest come in and seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the house; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house; it [is] unclean.

⁴⁵Zvino anofanira kuputsa imba, namabwe ayo, namatanda ayo, nevhu rose reimba, ndokuzvitakurira kunze kweguta kunzvimbo isina kunaka.

⁴⁵`And he hath broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he hath brought [them] forth unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place.

⁴⁶Uye ani naani unopinda mumba panguva yose yokupfigwa kwayo uchava usina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

⁴⁶`And he who is going in unto the house all the days he hath shut it up, is unclean till the evening;

⁴⁷Munhu wakavata muimba iyo, anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake.

⁴⁷and he who is lying in the house doth wash his garments; and he who is eating in the house doth wash his garments.

⁴⁸Kana mupristi akapinda, akatarira, akaona kuti hosha haina kupararira mumba, kubva pakuuyiwa kweimba, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti imba yakanaka, nekuti hosha yapora.

⁴⁸`And if the priest certainly come in, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the house after the daubing of the house, then hath the priest pronounced the house clean, for the plague hath been healed.

⁴⁹Zvino anofanira kutora shiri mbiri, nedanda romusidhari, nomucheka mutsvuku, nehisopi, kuti anatse imba;

⁴⁹`And he hath taken for the cleansing of the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

⁵⁰ipapo ngaauraye shiri imwe muhari yevhu pamusoro pemvura inoyerera,

⁵⁰and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

⁵¹ndokutora danda romusidhari, nehisopi, nomucheka mutsvuku, neshiri mhenyu, azvinyike muropa reshiri yakaurawa uye mumvura inoyerera, ndokusasa imba kanomwe;

⁵¹and he hath taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and hath dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and hath sprinkled upon the house seven times.

⁵²anofanira kunatsa imba neropa reshiri nemvura inoyerera neshiri mhenyu, nedanda romusidhari, nehisopi nomucheka mutsvuku;

⁵²`And he hath cleansed the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

⁵³asi shiri mhenyu anofanira kuiregedza kuti iende hayo kunze kweguta kusango; saizvozvo anofanira kuyananisira imba iyo, kuti ive yakanaka.

⁵³and he hath sent away the living bird unto the outside of the city unto the face of the field, and hath made atonement for the house, and it hath been clean.

⁵⁴Ndiwo murayiro wamarudzi ose wamaperembudzi napakafunuka;

⁵⁴`This [is] the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scall,

⁵⁵nowamaperembudzi enguvo, neeimba,

⁵⁵and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

⁵⁶nowapakazvimba, nowapakafunuka, nowechivara,

⁵⁶and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot, —

⁵⁷kuzivisa mupristi kana chinhu chisina kunaka kana chakanaka. Ndiwo murayiro wamaperembudzi.

⁵⁷to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this [is] the law of the leprosy.`
