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 five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither.

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

²In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were 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 brought me thither; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in 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 said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest 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, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness 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.

⁶Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other 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 every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

⁸Akayerawo berere resuwo kurutivi rweimba, zvikaita rutsanga rumwe.

⁸He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

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

⁹Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.

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

¹⁰And the lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

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

¹¹And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and 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 lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, 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 measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door.

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

¹⁴He made also posts, threescore cubits; and the court [reached] unto the posts, round about the gate.

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

¹⁵And [from] the forefront of the gate at the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were 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 there were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon [each] post were palm-trees.

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

¹⁷Then brought he me into the outer court; and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.

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

¹⁸And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

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

¹⁹Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.

²⁰Wakayerawo kureba nohupamhi bwesuwo roruvanze rwokunze rakatarira kurutivi rwokumusoro.

²⁰And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof.

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 the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

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

²²And the windows thereof, and the arches thereof, and the palm-trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were 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 there was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.

²⁴Zvino akaenda neni kurutivi rwezasi, ndikaona suwo kurutivi rwezasi; akayera mbiru dzaro namaberere aro nezviyero izvozvo.

²⁴And he led me toward the south; and, behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.

²⁵Mahwindo aivapo mukati maro nomumaberere aro kumativi ose, akafanana namahwindo iwayo; pakureba kwazvo zvakaita mamita makumi mashanu, nokufara kwazvo mamita makumi maviri namashanu.

²⁵And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

²⁶Kwakanga kune zvikwiriso zvinomwe zvokukwira nazvo kwariri; maberere aro akanga ari pamberi paro; uye rakanga rine michindwe pambiru dzaro, mumwe nechemberi nomumwe necheseri.

²⁶And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.

²⁷Kwakanga kune suwo paruvanze rwomukati kurutivi rwezasi; akayera kubva kune rimwe suwo kusvikira kune rimwe suwo kurutivi rwezasi zvikaita mamita ane zana.

²⁷And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

²⁸Zvino wakandiisa kuruvanze rwomukati kusuwo rezasi; akayera suwo rezasi nezviyero izvozvi;

²⁸Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

²⁹namakamuri aro, nembiru dzaro, namaberere aro nezviyero izvozvi; kwakanga kuna mahwindo mukati maro nomumaberere aro kumativi ose; zvakanga zvakaita makubhiti makumi mashanu pakureba, namamita makumi maviri namashanu pahupamhi.

²⁹and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

³⁰Kwakanga kuna maberere kumativi ose, akaita mamita makumi maviri namashanu pakureba, namamita mashanu pahupamhi.

³⁰And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.

³¹Maberere aro akanga akatarira kuruvanze rwokunze; kwakanga kune michindwe pambiru dzaro; chikwiriso charo chakanga chine zvikwiriso zvisere.

³¹And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³²Zvino wakandiisa muruvanze rwomukati kurutivi rwamabvazuva, akayera suwo nezviyero izvozvi;

³²And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;

³³namakamuri aro, nembiru dzaro, namaberere aro nezviyero izvozvi; makanga muna mahwindo mukati maro nomumaberere aro kumativi ose; zvakaita mamita makumi mashanu pakureba, namamita makumi maviri namashanu pahupamhi.

³³and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.

³⁴Maberere aro akanga akatarira kuruvazhe rwokunze, kwakanga kune michindwe pambiru dzaro, nechemberi necheseri; chikwiriso charo chakanga chine zvikwiriso zvisere.

³⁴And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³⁵Zvino wakandiisa kusuwo rokumusoro, akariyera nezviyero izvi;

³⁵And he brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures;

³⁶makamuri aro, nembiru dzaro, namaberere aro; makanga muna mahwindo mukati maro kumativi ose; pakureba zvakaita mamita makumi mashanu, napahupamhi mamita makumi maviri namashanu.

³⁶the lodges thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof: and there were windows therein round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.

³⁷Mbiru dzaro dzakanga dzakatarira kuruvanze rwokunze; kwakanga kune michindwe yakavezwa pambiru dzaro, nechemberi necheseri; chikwiriso charo chakanga chine zvikwiriso zvisere.

³⁷And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

³⁸Pambiru napamasuwo pakanga pane kamuri yaiva nomukova wayo; ndipo pavaisuka zvipiriso zvinopiswa.

³⁸And a chamber with the door thereof was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt-offering.

³⁹Muberere resuwo makanga muna matafura uku maviri nechemberi, namatafura maviri necheseri, pokubayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvibayiro zvezvivi nezvibayiro zvemhosva.

³⁹And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering.

⁴⁰Kurutivi rwokunze, kana munhu achikwira kundopinda pasuwo kurutivi rwokumusoro kwakanga kuna matafura maviri, uye kuno rumwe rutivi rweberere resuwo, kwakanga kuna matafura maviri.

⁴⁰And on the [one] side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

⁴¹Kwakanga kuna matafura mana kune rumwe rutivi, namatafura mana kurutivi rweseri, kurutivi rwesuwo, matafura masere paibayirwa zvibayiro.

⁴¹Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [the sacrifices].

⁴²Kwakanga kuna matafura mana amabwe akavezwa, ezvipiriso zvinopiswa; pakureba akasvika mita nehafu, pahupamhi mita nehafu, pakukwirira mita nehafu; ndipo pavakaisa nhumbi dzavaibayira nadzo zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvibayiro.

⁴²And there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.

⁴³Haka dzakanga dzakaita soupamhi hwechanza pakureba kwadzo, dzakanga dzakasungirwa kumativi ose; pamatafura pakanga pane nyama yokuvonga.

⁴³And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation.

⁴⁴Kunze kwesuwo romukati kwakanga kuna makamuri avaimbi voruvanze rwomukati, rwaiva kurutivi rwesuwo rokumusoro; iwo akatarira kurutivi rwezasi, rimwe kurutivi rwamabvazuva richitarira kurutivi rwokumusoro.

⁴⁴And without the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

⁴⁵Zvino akati kwandiri, Kamuri iri, rakatarira kurutivi rwezasi, nderavapristi, ivo vachengeti vebasa reimba;

⁴⁵And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house;

⁴⁶kamuri, rakatarira kurutivi rwokumusoro, nderavapristi, vachengeti vebasa rearitari; ndivo vanakomana vaZadhoki, vanobva pakati pavanakomana vaRevi vachaswedera kuna Jehovha kuzomushumira.

⁴⁶and the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister unto him.

⁴⁷Zvino akayera ruvanze, zvikaita mamita ane zana pakureba, namamita ane zana paupamhi, mativi mana akaenzana; aritari yakanga iri pamberi peimba.

⁴⁷And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

⁴⁸Zvino akandiisa paberere reimba, akayera mbiru imwe neimwe yeberere, zvikaita makubhiti mashanu kune rumwe rutivi, namamita mashanu kurutivi rweseri; upamhi bwesuwo hwakaita mamita matatu kune rumwe rutivi mamita matatu kurutivi rweseri.

⁴⁸Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

⁴⁹Kureba kweberere kwakanga kuchiita mamita makumi maviri, noupamhi mamita ane gumi nerimwe, ipapo pazvikwiriso zvavaikwira nazvo; pambiru dzesuwo pakanga pane dzimwe mbiru, imwe kuno rumwe rutivi, neimwe kurutivi rweseri.

⁴⁹The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
