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 twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, on that same 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 upon a very high mountain; and upon it was as the building 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 flax-cord 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 shew thee; for in order that it might be shewn unto thee art thou brought hither. Declare to the house of Israel all that thou seest.

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, there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring-reed of six cubits, [each] of one cubit and a hand breadth. And he measured the breadth 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.

⁶And he came to the gate which looked toward the east, and went up its steps; 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 [each] chamber was one reed long and one reed broad; and between the chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate, beside the porch of the gate within, was one reed.

⁸Akayerawo berere resuwo kurutivi rweimba, zvikaita rutsanga rumwe.

⁸And he measured the porch of the gate within, one reed.

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

⁹And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.

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

¹⁰And the chambers of the gate which was toward the east were three on this side and three on that side: they three were of one measure; and the posts on this side and on that side had one measure.

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

¹¹And he measured the breadth of the entry 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 there was a border before the chambers of one cubit, and a border of one cubit on the other side; and the chambers were 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 [one] chamber to the roof [of the other], a breadth of five and twenty cubits, entry opposite entry.

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

¹⁴And he made posts, sixty cubits, and by the post was the court of the gate round about.

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

¹⁵And from the front of the gate of the entrance unto the front of the porch of the inner 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 chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the projections; and the windows round about were 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.

¹⁷And he brought me into the outer court, and behold, there were cells, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty cells 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, answering to the length of the gates, [namely] the lower pavement.

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

¹⁹And he measured the breadth from the front of the lower gate unto the front of the inner court outside, a hundred cubits eastward and northward.

²⁰Wakayerawo kureba nohupamhi bwesuwo roruvanze rwokunze rakatarira kurutivi rwokumusoro.

²⁰And the gate of the outer court, that looked toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

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 its chambers were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its projections were according to the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and 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 its windows, and its projections, and its palm-trees were according to the measure of the gate that looked toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and the projections 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 the gate of the inner court was opposite to the gate toward the north, and toward 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 brought me toward the south: and behold, there was a gate toward the south; and he measured its posts and its projections 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 to it and to its projections 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 its projections were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side and one on that side, upon its posts.

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;

²⁸And he brought me into 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 its chambers, and its posts, and its projections, according to these measures; and there were windows to it and to its projections round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

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

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

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

³¹And its projections were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts: and its ascent was [by] 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 its chambers, and its posts, and its projections, according to these measures; and there were windows to it and to its projections round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

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

³⁴And its projections were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts on this side and on that side: and its ascent was [by] 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.

³⁶its chambers, its posts, and its projections; and there were windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

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

³⁷And its posts were toward the outer court; and there were palm-trees upon its posts, on this side and on that side: and its ascent was [by] eight steps.

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

³⁸And there was a cell and its entry by the posts of the gates; there they rinsed 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 at the side without, at the ascent to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at 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 on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, -- eight tables, whereon they slew [the sacrifice],

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.

⁴²-- and at the ascent, four tables of hewn stone, of a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereon also they laid the instruments with which 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 double hooks of a hand breadth were fastened round about within; and upon the tables [they put] the flesh of the offering.

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

⁴⁴And outside the inner gate were two cells in the inner court, one at the side of the north gate, and its front towards the south; the other was at the side of the south gate, the front towards the north.

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

⁴⁵And he said unto me, This cell whose front is towards 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 cell whose front is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, those who, from among the sons of Levi, approach unto 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, the length a hundred cubits, and the breadth a hundred cubits, four square: 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.

⁴⁸And he brought me to the porch of the house; and he measured the post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side; and the breadth of the gate, 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 one on that side.
