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

²Verenga vanakomana vose vaKohati pakati pavana vaRevhi, nemhuri dzavo, nedzimba dzamadzibaba avo,

²`Take up the sum of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers;

³vana makore ana makumi matatu navanopfuura, kusvikira pamakore makumi mashanu, vose vanopinda pabasa, kuti vaite basa mutende rokusangana.

³from a son of thirty years and upward, even till a son of fifty years, every one going in to the host, to do work in the tent of meeting.

⁴Ndiro basa ravanakomana vaKohati mutende rokusangana pazvinhu zvitsvene-tsvene:

⁴`This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, the holy of holies:

⁵Kana ungano ichisimuka, Aroni anofanira kupinda navanakomana vake, vagobvisa chidzitiro, ndokufukidza areka yechipupuriro nacho.

⁵that Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of the camp, and have taken down the vail of the hanging, and have covered with it the ark of the testimony;

⁶Zvino vanofanira kuisa pamusoro pazvo chokufukidzira chamatebwe amatenhe, ndokuwarira pamusoro pazvo mucheka mutema wose, zvino ndokupinza matanda okutakura nawo.

⁶and have put on it a covering of badger skin, and have spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed its staves.

⁷Vanofanira kuwarirawo mucheka mutema patafura yechingwa chokuratidza, ndokuisa pamusoro payo midziyo, nembiya, nemikombe, nezvimbiya zvokudira nazvo; nechingwa chamazuva ose chinofanira kuva pamusoro payo.

⁷`And on the table of the presence they spread a garment of blue, and have put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the libation, and the bread of continuity is on it,

⁸Zvino vanofanira kuwarira pamusoro pazvo mucheka mutsvuku, ndokuufukidza nechokufukidzira chamatebwe amatenhe, zvino ndokupinza matanda okutakura nawo.

⁸and they have spread over them a garment of scarlet, and have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves,

⁹Vanofanira kutorawo mucheka mutema, vagofukidza nawo chigadziko chemwenje yokuvhenekesa nayo, nemwenje yacho, nembato dzacho, nendiro dzacho, nemidziyo yacho yose yamafuta, yavanobata nayo.

⁹and have taken a garment of blue, and have covered the candlestick of the lamp, and its lights, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, and all its oil vessels wherewith they minister to it;

¹⁰Zvino vanofanira kuchiputira pamwechete nenhumbi dzacho dzose muchokufukidzira chamatebwe amatenhe, ndokuchiisa pamatanda.

¹⁰and they have put it and all its vessels unto a covering of badger skin, and have put [it] on the bar.

¹¹Vanofanira kuwarirawo mucheka mutema pamusoro pearitari yendarama, ndokuifukidza nechokufukidzira chamatebwe amatenhe, zvino ndokupinza matanda ayo okutakura nawo.

¹¹`And on the golden altar they spread a garment of blue, and have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves;

¹²Vanofanira kutorawo nhumbi dzose dzokubata nadzo paimba tsvene, vagodziputira mumucheka mutema, ndokudzifukidza nechokufukidzira chamatebwe amatenhe, ndokuzviisa pamatanda.

¹²and have taken all the vessels of ministry wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and have put [them] unto a garment of blue, and have covered them with a covering of badger skin, and have put [them] on the bar,

¹³Vanofanira kubvisawo madota paaritari, ndokuwarira pamusoro payo mucheka mushava,

¹³and have removed the ashes of the altar, and have spread over it a garment of purple;

¹⁴ndokuisa pamusoro payo nhumbi dzayo dzose, dzavanobata nadzo pairi, dzinoti: Zvaenga zvomoto, nezvikokovonho zvenyama, nefoshoro, nemidziyo, nhumbi dzose dzearitari, vagowarira pamusoro payo chokufukidzira chamatebwe amatenhe, ndokupinza matanda okutakura nawo.

¹⁴and have put on it all its vessels wherewith they minister about it, the censers, the hooks, and the shovels, and the bowls, all the vessels of the altar, and have spread on it a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves:

¹⁵Zvino kana Aroni navanakomana vake vapedza kufukidza imba tsvene, nenhumbi dzose dzeimba tsvene, kana ungano ichida kusimuka, zvino vanakomana vaKohati vanofanira kuuya kuitakura, asi ngavarege kubata zvinhu zvitsvene, kuti varege kufa. Zvinhu izvi ndizvo zvinofanira kutakurwa navanakomana vaKohati patende rokusangana.

¹⁵`And Aaron hath finished — his sons also — covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, in the journeying of the camp, and afterwards do the sons of Kohath come in to bear [it], and they do not come unto the holy thing, that they have died; these [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.

¹⁶Basa raEreazari, mwanakomana waAroni mupristi, nderamafuta okuvhenekesa nawo, nezvinonhuhwira zvakanaka, nechipiriso choupfu chamazuva ose, namafuta okuzodza nawo, nokuchengeta tabhenakeri yose nezvose zvirimo, neimba tsvene, nenhumbi dzayo.

¹⁶`And the oversight of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, [is] the oil of the lamp, and the spice-perfume, and the present of continuity, and the anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that [is] in it, in the sanctuary, and in its vessels.`

¹⁷Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi naAroni akati,

¹⁷And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

¹⁸Rudzi rwemhuri dzavaKohati ngarurege kuparadzwa pakati pavaRevhi;

¹⁸`Ye do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites;

¹⁹asi muvaitire izvi kuti vararame, varege kufa, kana vachiswedera kuzvinhu zvitsvene-tsvene; Aroni navanakomana vake vanofanira kupinda nokuvagadza, mumwe nomumwe, pabasa rake napamutoro wake.

¹⁹but this do to them, and they have lived, and do not die in their drawing nigh the holy of holies: — Aaron and his sons go in, and have set them, each man to his service, and unto his burden,

²⁰Asi ngavarege kupinda kundoona imba tsvene, kunyange iri nguva duku, kuti varege kufa.

²⁰and they go not in to see when the holy thing is swallowed, that they have died.`

²¹Jehovha akataura naMozisi akati,

²¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²²Verenga vanakomana vose vaGeshoni, dzimba dzamadzibaba avo, nemhuri dzavo.

²²`Take up the sum of the sons of Gershon also by the house of their fathers, by their families;

²³Uverenge vanamakore makumi matatu navanopfuura kusvikira makore makumi mashanu; vose vanopinda kundobata basa, kubata mutende rokusangana.

²³from a son of thirty years and upward, till a son of fifty years thou dost number them, every one who is going in to serve the host, to do the service in the tent of meeting.

²⁴`This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonite, to serve — and for burden,

²⁵Ivo vanofanira kutakura machira etabhenakeri, netende rokusangana; nechokufukidzira chayo, nechokufukidzira chamatebwe amatenhe, chiri pamusoro payo, nechidzitiro chomukova wetende rokusangana;

²⁵and they have borne the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of the badger [skin] which [is] on it above, and the vail at the opening of the tent of meeting,

²⁶nezvirembedzwa zvoruvazhe, nechidzitiro chomukova wesuwo roruvazhe, ruri patabhenakeri nokunhivi dzose dzearitari, namabote azvo, nenhumbi dzazvo dzose dzinobata mabasa azvo, nezvose zvinobatwa nazvo, ndiro basa ravo.

²⁶and the hangings of the court, and the vail at the opening of the gate of the court which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service, and all that is made for them — and they have served.

²⁷Mabasa ose avanakomana vaGeshoni, zvose zvavanofanira kutakura nezvavanofanira kubata, zvinofanira kurairwa naAroni navanakomana vake; munofanira kuvagadza pabasa ravo rose rokutakura.

²⁷`By the command of Aaron and his sons is all the service of the sons of the Gershonite in all their burden, and in all their service; and ye have laid a charge on them concerning the charge of all their burden.

²⁸Ndiro basa remhuri dzavana vaGeshoni patende rokusangana; pabasa ravo rose vanofanira kurairwa naItamari, mwanakomana waAroni mupristi.

²⁹`The sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers, thou dost number them;
