¹Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi naAroni, akati,

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

²Ndiwo murayiro wakarairwa naJehovha, achiti: Taura navana vaIsiraeri vauye kwauri netsiru dzvuku risina mhosva, risina kuremara, risina kumboiswa joko.

²`This [is] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up;

³Zvino munofanira kuripa Ereazari mupristi, iye aribudise kunze kwemisasa, rigourawa pamberi pake.

³and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath slaughtered it before him.

⁴Ipapo Ereazari mupristi anofanira kutora ropa raro nomumwe wake, nokusasa ropa raro kanomwe kurutivi rwemberi rwetende rokusangana;

⁴`And Eleazar the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath sprinkled over-against the front of the tent of meeting of her blood seven times;

⁵zvino tsiru rinofanira kupiswa pamberi pake; debwe raro, nenyama yaro, neropa raro, pamwechete namazvizvi aro, zvinofanira kupiswa.

⁵and [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;

⁶Zvino mupristi anofanira kutora rutanda rwomusidhari nehisopi, nomucheka mutsvuku, ndokuzvikandira pakati pomoto unopisa tsiru.

⁶and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and hath cast unto the midst of the burning of the cow;

⁷Ipapo mupristi anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake, nokushambidza muviri wake nemvura ndokuzopinda mumisasa mupristi agova asina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

⁷and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till the evening;

⁸Nomunhu anoripisa anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake nemvura, nokushambidza muviri wake nemvura, agova asina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

⁸and he who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till the evening.

⁹Zvino mumwe munhu akanaka anofanira kuunganidza madota etsiru, ndokuachengeta kunze kwemisasa panzvimbo yakanaka, kuti achengeterwe ungano yavana vaIsiraeri, kuzoita nawo mvura yokunatsa nayo; chipiriso chezvivi.

⁹`And a clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge for waters of separation — it [is] a [cleansing];

¹⁰Zvino iye akaunganidza madota etsiru, anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake, agova asina kunaka kusvikira madeko; unofanira kuva mutemo usingaperi kuvana vaIsiraeri nokuvatorwa vagere pakati pavo.

¹⁰and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during.

¹¹Munhu anobata chitunha chomunhu upi noupi, anofanira kuva asina kunaka mazuva manomwe.

¹¹`He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is unclean seven days;

¹²Iye anofanira kuzvinatsa nayo nezuva retatu, agova akanaka nezuva rechinomwe; asi kana asingazvinatsi nezuva retatu, haangavi akanaka nezuva rechinomwe.

¹²he doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean.

¹³Ani naani anobata akafa, chiri chitunha chomunhu upi noupi akafa, akasazvinatsa, anosvibisa tabhenakeri yaJehovha; munhu uyo anofanira kubviswa pakati pavaIsiraeri; mvura inonatsa zvaisina kusaswa pamusoro pake, anofanira kuva asina kunaka; tsvina yake ichiri kwaari.

¹³Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself — the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still upon him.

¹⁴Ndiwo murayiro kana munhu akafa mutende: Mumwe nomumwe anopinda mutende, nomumwe nomumwe ari mutende, achava asina kunaka mazuva manomwe.

¹⁴`This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, is unclean seven days;

¹⁵Nemidziyo yose yakashama, isina chifunhiro chakasungirwa, ichava isina kunaka.

¹⁵and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread upon it is unclean.

¹⁶Ani naani anobata munhu akaurawa kusango nomunondo, kana chitunha, kana pfupa romunhu, kana hwiro, achava asina kunaka mazuva manomwe.

¹⁶`And every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days;

¹⁷Zvino munhu asina kunaka anofanira kundotorerwa madota echipiriso chezvivi chakapiswa, mvura inoyerera igodirwa pamusoro pawo mumudziyo,

¹⁷and they have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running water unto a vessel;

¹⁸zvino munhu akanaka anofanira kutora hisopi, ndokuinyika mumvura, ndokuisasa patende, napanhumbi dzose, napavanhu vose vaivapo, napamunhu akabata pfupa, kana akanga aurawa, kana akafa, kana hwiro;

¹⁸and a clean person hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it] in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.

¹⁹zvino munhu akanaka anofanira kusasa munhu usina kunaka nezuva retatu nerechinomwe; nezuva rechinomwe anofanira kumunatsa; zvino iye anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake, nokuzvishambidza nemvura, agova akanaka madeko.

¹⁹`And the clean hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean in the evening.

²⁰Asi kana, munhu akasvibiswa akasazvinatsa, munhu uyo anofanira kubviswa pakati peungano, nekuti asvibisa imba tsvene yaJehovha; mvura inonatsa haina kusaswa pamusoro pake; haana kunaka.

²⁰`And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.

²¹Unofanira kuva mutemo usingaperi kwavari. Munhu anosasa mvura inonatsa, anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake; naiye anobata mvura inonatsa, achava asina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

²¹`And it hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,

²²Nezvose zvinobatwa nomunhu usina kunaka,zvichava zvisina kunaka nomunhu unozvibata uchava usina kunaka kusvika madeko.

²²and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.`
