¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²Taura naAroni navanakomana vake navana vaIsiraeri vose, uti kwavari, Ndiro shoko rakarairwa naJehovha:

²Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,

³Munhu upi noupi kuna veimba yaIsiraeri unouraya nzombe, kana gwayana, kana mbudzi, mukati memisasa, kana unozviuraya kunze kwemisasa,

³What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp,

⁴asina kuzviisa pamukova wetende rokusangana, kuzviisa pamberi petabhenakeri yaJehovha kuti chive chipo kuna Jehovha, munhu uyu anofanira kubviswa pakati porudzi rwake;

⁴and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah: blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

⁵kuti vana vaIsiraeri vauye nezvibayiro zvavo zvavanobayira kusango, vauye nazvo kuna Jehovha kumukova wetende rokusangana kumupristi, kuti vazvibayire Jehovha, zvive zvibayiro zvezvipiriso zvokuyananisira.

⁵To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto Jehovah.

⁶Zvino mupristi ngaasase ropa razvo paaritari yaJehovha, pamukova wetende rokusangana; apisewo mafuta, kuti zvinhuwire zvakanaka pamberi paJehovha.

⁶And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

⁷Havafaniri kuzobayira nhongo zvibayiro zvavo kumadhimoni, idzo dzavaitevera pakupata kwavo. Uyo unofanira kuva murayiro usingaperi kwavari kusvikira kumarudzi avo ose.

⁷And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after which they play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations.

⁸Iwe unofanira kuti kwavari, Munhu upi noupi waveimba yaIsiraeri, kana wavatorwa vagere pakati pavo, unopisira chipiriso chinopiswa kana chimwe chibayiro,

⁸And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice,

⁹asingauyi nacho kumukova wetende rokusangana, kuti achibayire Jehovha, munhu uyo anofanira kubviswa pakati porudzi rwake.

⁹and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto Jehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people.

¹⁰Munhu upi noupi waveimba yaIsiraeri, kana wavatorwa vagere pakati pavo, unodya ropa ripi neripi, ndichatonga munhu uyo unodya ropa, ndimubvise pakati porudzi rwake.

¹⁰And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

¹¹nekuti upenyu bwenyama huri muropa; ndakakupai iro paaritari, kuti riyananisire mweya yenyu; nekuti iropa rinoyananisira nokuda koupenyu hurimo.

¹¹For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.

¹²Naizvozvo ndakati kuvana vaIsiraeri, Kurege kuva nomumwe wenyu uchadya ropa, kana mutorwa upi noupi ugere pakati penyu, ngaarege kudya ropa.

¹²Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.

¹³Munhu upi noupi kuvana vaIsiraeri, kana kuvatorwa vagere pakati pavo, wakabata pakuvhima kwake mhuka ipi neipi kana shiri inodyiwa, anofanira kudurura ropa rayo, ndokurifukidza neguruva.

¹³And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

¹⁴Nekuti kana huri upenyu hwenyama yose, ropa razvo ndihwo upenyu hwazvo, naizvozvo ndakati kuvana vaIsiraeri, Regai kudya ropa razvo; ani naani unoridya anofanira kubviswa:

¹⁴For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is [all one] with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

¹⁵Munhu upi noupi unodya chinhu chakangofa choga, kana chakaurawa nezvikara, kana ari munhu wakaberekerwa pakati penyu, kana ari mutorwa, anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake, nokuzvishambidza nemvura, ave usina kunaka kusvikira madeko; ipapo uchazova wakanaka.

¹⁵And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

¹⁶Asi kana asingadzisuki, kana kushambidza muviri wake, uchafanira kuva nemhosva yake.

¹⁶But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
