¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi murenje reSinai pamwedzi wokutanga wegore rechipiri rokubuda kwavo panyika yeEgipita akati,

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,

²Vana vaIsiraeri vanofanira kutamba Pasika panguva yayo yakatarwa.

²`Also, the sons of Israel prepare the passover in its appointed season;

³Nezuva regumi namana romwedzi uno, madekwana, munofanira kuitamba panguva yayo yakatarwa; munofanira kuitamba muchiteerera mitemo yayo yose nemirairo yayo yose.

³in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings ye prepare it in its appointed season; according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances ye prepare it.`

⁴Ipapo Mozisi akataura navana vaIsiraeri, kuti vatambe Pasika.

⁴And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel to prepare the passover,

⁵Ivo vakatamba Pasika nomwedzi wokutanga, nezuva regumi namana romwedzi, madekwana, murenje reSinai zvese sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha, ndizvo zvakaita vana vaIsiraeri.

⁵and they prepare the passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done.

⁶Zvino kwakanga kuna vamwe varume vakanga vasina kunaka nokuda kwechitunha chomunhu, naizvozvo vakanga vasingagoni kudya Pasika nomusi iwoyo; naizvozvo vakauya kuna Mozisi naAroni nomusi iwoyo;

⁶And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the passover on that day, and they come near before Moses, and before Aaron, on that day,

⁷varume ava vakati kwaari, Hatina kunaka nokuda kwechitunha chomunhu; tingadziviswa seiko kupa chipo chaJehovha nenguva yacho yakatarwa pakati pavana vaIsiraeri?

⁷and those men say unto him, `We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we withheld so as not to bring near the offering of Jehovah in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?`

⁸Mozisi akati kwavari, Mirai, ndinzwe zvinorairwa naJehovha pamusoro penyu.

⁸And Moses saith unto them, `Stand ye, and I hear what Jehovah hath commanded concerning you.`

⁹Jehovha akataura naMozisi akati,

⁹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁰Taura navana vaIsiraeri, uti, Kana mumwe wenyu, kana wavana venyu, achinge ava usina kunaka nokuda kwechitunha, kana zvimwe ari kurwendo ruri kure, kunyange zvakadaro anofanira kutamba Pasika yaJehovha.

¹⁰`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations), yet he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah;

¹¹Ivo vanofanira kuidya nomwedzi wechipiri, nezuva regumi namana, madekwana; vanofanira kuidya nechingwa chisina kuviriswa nemiriwo inovava.

¹¹in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they prepare it; with unleavened and bitter things they eat it;

¹²Havafaniri kusiya zvimwe kusvikira mangwana, kana kuvhuna pfupa rimwe rayo, asi vanofanira kuitamba vachiteerera mitemo yose yePasika.

¹²they do not leave of till morning; and a bone they do not break in it: according to all the statute of the passover they prepare it.

¹³Asi kana munhu akanaka hake, asati ari parwendo, akasadya Pasika, munhu iyeye unofanira kubviswa pakati porudzi rwake; zvaasina kupa chipo chaJehovha panguva yakatarwa, munhu uyo uchava nezvivi zvake.

¹³`And the man who is clean, and hath not been on a journey, and hath ceased to prepare the passover, even that person hath been cut off from his people; because the offering of Jehovah he hath not brought near, in its appointed season, that man doth bear his sin.

¹⁴Kana ari mutorwa ugere nemi, akada kudya Pasika yaJehovha, anofanira kuidya achiteerera mutemo wePasika, nomurayiro wayo; munofanira kuva nomutemo mumwe, womutorwa nomunhu wakaberekerwa munyika.

¹⁴`And when a sojourner sojourneth with you, then he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah, according to the statute of the passover, and according to its ordinance, so he doth; one statute is to you, even to a sojourner, and to a native of the land.`

¹⁵Nomusi wokumiswa kwetabhenakeri, gore rakafukidza tabhenakeri, iro tende rechipupuriro; madekwana rakanga riri pamusoro petabhenakeri rakaita somoto kusvikira mangwana.

¹⁵And in the day of the raising up of the tabernacle hath the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony; and in the evening there is on the tabernacle as an appearance of fire till morning;

¹⁶Zvakanga zvakadaro nguva dzose; gore rakaifukidza, asi usiku rakanga rakaita somoto.

¹⁶so it is continually; the cloud covereth it, also the appearance of fire by night.

¹⁷Zvino nguva dzose kana gore richisimudzwa pamusoro petende, shure kwaizvozvo vana valsiraeri vaifamba; paindomira gore, ipapo vana vaIsiraeri vaidzika matende avo;

¹⁷And according to the going up of the cloud from off the tent and afterwards do the sons of Israel journey; and in the place where the cloud doth tabernacle, there do the sons of Israel encamp;

¹⁸sezvavairairwa naJehovha, vana vaIsiraeri vaifamba, sezvavairairwa naJehovha vaidzika matende avo; nguva yose kana gore rimire pamusoro petabhenakeri, ivo vairambira mumatende avo.

¹⁸by the command of Jehovah the sons of Israel journey, and by the command of Jehovah they encamp; all the days that the cloud doth tabernacle over the tabernacle they encamp.

¹⁹Kana gore richirambira pamusoro petabhenakeri mazuva mazhinji,vana vaIsiraeri vaichengeta zvavakanga varairwa naJehovha, vakasafamba.

¹⁹And in the cloud prolonging itself over the tabernacle many days, then have the sons of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journey not,

²⁰Dzimwe nguva gore raigara pamusoro petabhenakeri mazuva mashomanene; zvino sezvairaira Jehovha vairamba vagere pamatende avo, uye sezvairaira Jehovha vaifamba.

²⁰and so when the cloud is a number of days over the tabernacle; by the command of Jehovah they encamp, and by the command of Jehovah they journey.

²¹Dzimwe nguva gore raivapo kubva madeko kusvikira mangwana; zvino kana gore richisimudzwa mangwana, vaifamba; kana masikati kana usiku, kana gore richisimudzwa, vaifamba.

²¹And so when the cloud is from evening till morning, when the cloud hath gone up in the morning, then they have journeyed; whether by day or by night, when the cloud hath gone up, then they have journeyed.

²²Kana gore rikaramba riri pamusoro payo, vana vaIsiraeri vairamba vagere mumatende avo, vasingafambi; asi kana rasimudzwa, vaifamba.

²²Whether two days, or a month, or days, in the cloud prolonging itself over the tabernacle, to tabernacle over it, the sons of Israel encamp, and journey not; and in its being lifted up they journey;

²³Sezvavairairwa naJehovha, vaidzika matende avo; sezvavairairwa naJehovha, vaifamba; vaichengeta zvavakanga varairwa naJehovha, sezvakarairwa Jehovha nomuromo waMozisi.

²³by the command of Jehovah they encamp, and by the command of Jehovah they journey; the charge of Jehovah they have kept, by the command of Jehovah in the hand of Moses.
