¹Zvino Nadhabi naAbhihu, vanakomana vaAroni, vakatora mumwe nomumwe harana yake yezvinonhuhwira, vakaisamo moto, ndokuisa zvinonhuhwira pamusoro pawo, vakauya pamberi paJehovha nomoto usina kutenderwa waasina kuraira.

¹And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.

²Ipapo moto wakabuda pamberi paJehovha, ukavauraya, vakafa pamberi paJehovha.

²And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

³Zvino Mozisi akati kuna Aroni, Jehovha wakataura chinhu ichi, akati, Ndichazviratidza kuti ndiri mutsvene muna vose vanoswedera kwandiri, ndichazvirumbidza pamberi pavanhu vose. Aroni akanyarara.

³Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Jehovah spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

⁴Ipapo Mozisi akadana Mishaeri naErizafani, vanakomana vaUzieri, babamunini vaAroni, akati kwavari, Swederai, mubvise hama dzenyu pamberi penzvimbo tsvene, muvatakurire kunze kwemisasa.

⁴And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

⁵Ipapo vakaswedera, vakavatakurira kunze kwemisasa vanamajasi avo, sezvakanga zvataurwa naMozisi.

⁵So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁶Zvino Mozisi akati kuna Aroni nokuna Ereazari nokuna Itamari, vanakomana vake, Musasunungura vudzi remisoro yenyu, kana kubvarura nguvo dzenyu, kuti murege kufa, naiye arege kutsamwira ungano yose; asi hama dzenyu, veimba yose yaIsiraeri, ivo ngavacheme kupisa kwakatungidzwa naJehovha.

⁶And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

⁷Musabuda pamukova wetende rokusangana, kuti murege kufa, nekuti mafuta okuzodza aJehovha ari pamusoro penyu. Vakaita sezvavakaudzwa naMozisi.

⁷And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

⁸Zvino Jehovha wakataura naAroni akati,

⁸And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, saying,

⁹Usamwa waini kana chinhu chinobata, iwe navanakomana vako pamwechete newe, kana muchipinda mutende rokusangana, kuti murege kufa; uve murayiro usingaperi kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose.

⁹Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

¹⁰Munofanira kutsaura pakati pezvitsvene nezvisati zviri zvitsvene, pakati pezvisina kunaka nezvakanaka;

¹⁰and that ye may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

¹¹munofanira kudzidzisa vana vaIsiraeri mirairo yose yakarairwa naJehovha nomuromo waMozisi.

¹¹and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by Moses.

¹²Zvino Mozisi wakataura naAroni naEreazari naItamari, vanakomana vake vakanga vasara, akati, Torai chipiriso choupfu chakasara pazvipiriso zvakapisirwa Jehovha nomoto, muzvidyire kurutivi rwearitari zvisina mbiriso, nekuti zvitsvene kwazvo;

¹²And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal-offering that remaineth of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy;

¹³munofanira kuzvidyira panzvimbo tsvene, nekuti ndiwo mugove wako nomugove wavanakomana vako pazvipiriso zvaJehovha zvinoitwa nomoto, nekuti ndizvo zvandakarairwa.

¹³and ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy portion, and thy sons' portion, of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: for so I am commanded.

¹⁴Munofanira kudyira panzvimbo tsvene chityu chinozunguzirwa nebandauko rinosimudzwa, iwe navanakomana vako navanasikana vako pamwechete newe, nekuti makazvipiwa, kuti uve mugove wako, nomugove wavanakomana vako pazvibayiro zvezvipiriso zvokuyananisa zvavana vaIsiraeri.

¹⁴And the wave-breast and the heave-thigh shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as thy portion, and thy sons' portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

¹⁵Vanofanira kuuya nebandauko rinosimudzwa; nechityu chinozunguzirwa, pamwechete nezvipiriso zvamafuta zvinopiswa nomoto, kuti vazvizunguzire, chive chipiriso chinozunguzirwa pamberi paJehovha; chinofanira kuva chako nechavanakomana vako, pamwechete newe; unofanira kuva murayiro usingaperi, sezvakarairwa naJehovha.

¹⁵The heave-thigh and the wave-breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, as a portion for ever; as Jehovah hath commanded.

¹⁶Zvino Mozisi wakanyatsotsvaka mbudzi yechipiriso chezvivi, akawana kuti yapiswa, akatsamwira Ereazari naItamari, vanakomana vaAroni vakanga vasara, akati,

¹⁶And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,

¹⁷Makaregerei kudyira chipiriso chezvivi panzvimbo tsvene, zvachiri chitsvene kwazvo, uye nekuti wakakupai icho, kuti mubvise kutadza kweungano, muvayananisire pamberi paJehovha?

¹⁷Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Jehovah?

¹⁸Tarirai, ropa rayo harina kuuyiswa mukati menzvimbo tsvene, sezvandakaraira.

¹⁸Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

¹⁹Ipapo Aroni akati kuna Mozisi, Tarira, vakapisa nhasi chipiriso chavo chezvivi, nechipiriso chavo chinopiswa pamberi paJehovha, ini ndikawirwa nezvinhu izvi zvakadai; zvino dai ndakadya chipiriso chezvivi nhasi, zvingadai zvaifadza Jehovha here?

¹⁹And Aaron spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and there have befallen me such things as these: and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of Jehovah?

²⁰Mozisi wakati achinzwa izvozvo, akatenda nazvo.

²⁰And when Moses heard [that], it was well-pleasing in his sight.
