¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²Taura naAroni navanakomana vake, kuti vazvitsaure pazvinhu zvitsvene zvavana vaIsiraeri, zvavanonditsaurira, kuti varege kushatisa zita rangu dzvene; ndini Jehovha.

²Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah.

³Uti kwavari, Ani naani kuvana venyu kumarudzi enyu ose, unoswedera kuzvinhu zvitsvene, zvakatsaurirwa Jehovha navana vaIsiraeri, asina kunaka, munhu uyo anofanira kubviswa pamberi pangu; ndini Jehovha.

³Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.

⁴Ani naani kuvana vaAroni ane maperembudzi kana ane zvinoyerera ngaarege kudya zvinhu zvitsvene kusvikira anaka. Ani naani unobata chinhu chakasvibiswa nowakafa kana munhu unobudirwa nembeu yake;

⁴What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

⁵kana ani naani unobata chinhu chipi nechipi chinokambaira chingamusvibisa, kana munhu waangasvibiswa naye, uno kusanaka kupi nokupi.

⁵or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

⁶Munhu unobata chinhu chipi nechipi chakadai, uchava usina kunaka kusvikira madeko; haafaniri kudya zvinhu zvitsvene asati ashambidza muviri wake nemvura.

⁶the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

⁷Kana zuva ravira uchava wakanaka; pashure ungadya hake zvinhu zvitsvene; nekuti ndizvo zvokudya zvake.

⁷And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

⁸Ngaarege kudya chinhu chakafa choga, kana chakaurawa nezvikara, kuti azvisvibise nazvo; ndini Jehovha.

⁸That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am Jehovah.

⁹Naizvozvo vanofanira kuchengeta zvandakaraira, kuti varege kuva nezvivi nokuda kwazvo, vafe nazvo, kana vazvishatisa; ndini Jehovha, ndinovatsaura.

⁹They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

¹⁰Mweni ngaarege kudya chinhu chitsvene; mutorwa ugere nomupristi, kana muranda, ngavarege kudya chinhu chitsvene.

¹⁰There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

¹¹Asi kana mupristi akatenga munhu nomutengo wemari yake, iye ungazvidya; uye vose vanoberekerwa mumba make, vangadya zvokudya zvake.

¹¹But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

¹²Kana mwanasikana womupristi akawanikwa nomweni, ngaarege kudya chipiriso chinotsaurwa chezvinhu zvitsvene.

¹²And if a priest's daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.

¹³Asi kana mwanasikana womupristi iri chirikadzi, kana warambwa nomurume, asina vana, akadzokera kumba kwababa vake, sapausikana hwake, iye ungadya zvokudya zvababa vake; asi mweni ngaarege kuzvidya.

¹³But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.

¹⁴Kana munhu akadya chinhu chitsvene asingazivi, uchafanira kuwedzera cheshanu chacho kwachiri, kuti adzosere kumupristi chinhu chitsvene.

¹⁴And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.

¹⁵Ngavarege kushatisa zvinhu zvitsvene zvavana vaIsiraeri zvavanopa Jehovha;

¹⁵And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah,

¹⁶kuti varege kuva nemhosva yezvivi, kana vachidya zvinhu zvavo zvitsvene; nekuti ndini Jehovha ndinovatsaura.

¹⁶and [so] cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

¹⁷Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹⁷And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸Taura naAroni, navanakomana vake, navana vaIsiraeri vose, uti kwavari, Ani naani weimba yaIsiraeri, kana wavatorwa pakati pavaIsiraeri, unouya nechipo chake, kana chiri chemhiko, kana iri nhendo ipi neipi yokuda kwavo, chavanouya nacho kuna Jehovha, kuti chipiswe;

¹⁸Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

¹⁹munofanira kuuya nomukono usina kuremara kana wemombe, kana gondobwe ramakwai, kana nhongo yembudzi, kuti mugamuchirwe.

¹⁹that ye may be accepted, [ye shall offer] a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰Asi musauya nechinhu chakaremara, nekuti hamungagamuchirwi nokuda kwacho.

²⁰But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹Ani naani unouya nechibayiro chezvipiriso zvokuyananisa kuna Jehovha, chokupika nacho, kana kuti ive nhendo yokuda kwake, kana chiri chemombe kana chamakwai, chinofanira kuva chakakwana., kuti chigamuchigwe; ngachirege kuva chakaremara.

²¹And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

²²Kana chiri chinhu chakaita bofu, kana chakavhunika, kana chakakuvara, kana chinamaronda, kana chine chikwekwe, kana china pakafunuka, murege kupa Jehovha izvozvo, musapisira Jehovha izvozvo paaritari.

²²Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Jehovah.

²³Kana iri nzombe duku kana gwayana zvine mitezo yakarebesa kana yakapfupika, mungauya nazvo kuti muite nhendo yokuda kwenyu, asi hazvingagamuchirwi pakuripira mhiko.

²³Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

²⁴Musapa Jehovha chinhu china manhu akakuvadzwa, kana akapwanyika, kana akaputswa, kana ,akachekwa, musadaro panyika yenyu.

²⁴That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do [thus] in your land.

²⁵Musagamuchira zvakadai paruoko rwomutorwa, kuti mupe Mwari wenyu zvokudya zvakadai, nekuti zvakaipa, zvakaremara, hazvingagamuchirwi nokuda kwenyu.

²⁵Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

²⁶Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

²⁶And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁷Kana nzombe, kana gwai, kana mbudzi zvichiberekwa, zvinofanira kugara pana mai vazvo mazuva manomwe; kubva pazuva rorusere napashure paro zvingagamuchirwa kuti zviite chipo chinopisirwa Jehovha.

²⁷When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

²⁸Kana iri mhou kana nhunzvi, musazviuraya pamusi mumwe navana vazvo.

²⁸And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

²⁹Kana muchibayira Jehovha chibayiro chokuvonga, munofanira kuchibayira saizvozvo kuti mugamuchirwe.

²⁹And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.

³⁰Chinofanira kudyiwa nomusi iwoyo; musasiya zvimwe kusvikira mangwana; ndini Jehovha.

³⁰On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah.

³¹Naizvozvo chengetai mirairo yangu, muiite; ndini Jehovha.

³¹Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah.

³²Usashatisa zita rangu dzvene; ndinoda kutsaurwa pakati pavana vaIsiraeri, ndini Jehovha, ndinokutsaurai;

³²And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you,

³³ndakakubudisai panyika kuti ndive Mwari wenyu; ndini Jehovha.

³³who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.
