¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²Taura navana vaIsiraeri uti, Kana mukadzi akava nemimba, akapona mwanakomana, uchava usina kunaka mazuva manomwe, uchava usina kunaka sapanguva yaari kumwedzi.

²Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean.

³Nomusi worusere mwanakomana anofanira kudzingiswa chikanda chake chapamberi.

³And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

⁴Zvino mukadzi anofanira kugara mazuva makumi matatu namatatu achizvinatsa paropa rake; ngaarege kubata chinhu chitsvene kana kupinda panzvimbo tsvene, kusvikira mazuva okuzvinatsa kwake apera.

⁴And she shall continue in the blood of [her] purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

⁵Asi kana akapona mwana womusikana, uchava usina kunaka vhiki mbiri, sapamazuva okuva kwake kumwedzi; ngaagare achizvinatsa paropa rake mazuva ana makumi matanhatu namatanhatu.

⁵But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity; and she shall continue in the blood of [her] purifying threescore and six days.

⁶Kana mazuva okuzvinatsa kwake apera pakupona mwanakomana kana mwanasikana, ngaauye negwayana regore rimwe, kuti chive chipiriso chinopiswa, nakana kenjiva, kana vhukutiva, kuti chive chipiriso chezvivi, kumukova wetende rokusangana kumupristi;

⁶And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest:

⁷agochibayira pamberi paJehovha, kumuyananisira; zvino wanatswa pakuyerera kweropa rake. Ndiwo murayiro kunounopona mwana womukomana kana womusikana.

⁷and he shall offer it before Jehovah, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female.

⁸Kana akasakwanisa kuuya negwayana, ngaatore njiva mbiri kana twana tuviri twenjiva; imwe chive chipiriso chinopiswa, neimwe chipiriso chezvivi; kuti mupristi amuyananisire, anake.

⁸And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
