¹Pashure akandiisa kusuwo, iro suwo rakatarira kurutivi rwamabvazuva.

¹And he brought me unto the gate, the gate which looked toward the east.

²Zvino tarira, kubwinya kwaMwari waIsiraeri kwakabva kurutivi rwamabvazuva; inzwi rake rakanga rakaita somubvumo wemvura zhinji; pasi pakapenya nokubwinya kwake.

²And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and his voice was like the voice of many waters; and the earth was lit up with his glory.

³Zvakanga zvakafanana nezvandakaona, izvo zvandakaona nguva yandakauya kuzoparadza guta; zvandakaona zvino zvakanga zvakafanana nezvandakaona parwizi rwaKebhari; ini ndikawira pasi nechiso changu.

³And the appearance of the vision that I saw was according to the vision that I had seen when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell upon my face.

⁴Kubwinya kwaJehovha kukapinda mumba nenzira yesuwo rakatarira kurutivi rwamabvazuva.

⁴And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose front was toward the east.

⁵Mweya ukandisimudza, ukandiisa muruvanze rwomukati; zvino tarira, kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakazadza imba.

⁵And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

⁶Zvino ndikanzwa mumwe achitaura neni ari mumba; mumwe murume akamira neni.

⁶And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man was standing by me.

⁷Akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, iyi ndiyo nzvimbo yechigaro changu chovushe, nenzvimbo inotsika tsoka dzangu, pandichagara pakati pavana vaIsiraeri nokusingaperi. Imba yaIsiraeri haingazosvibisi zita rangu dzvene, kunyange ivo, kunyange madzimambo avo, nokufeva kwavo uye nezvitunha zvamadzimambo avo panzvimbo dzavo dzakakwirira;

⁷And he said unto me, Son of man, [this is] the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, they nor their kings, with their fornication, and with the carcases of their kings [in] their high places,

⁸nokuisa chikumbaridzo chavo pachikumbaridzo changu, nembiru dzemikova yavo parutivi rwembiru dzemikova yangu, kukangova nechidziro pakati pangu naivo; vakasvibisa zita rangu nezvinonyangadza zvavo zvavakaita; naizvozvo ndakavapedza nokutsamwa kwangu.

⁸in that they set their threshold by my threshold, and their post by my post, and [there was only] a wall between me and them, and they defiled my holy name with their abominations which they committed; and I consumed them in mine anger.

⁹Zvino ngavarashe kufeva kwavo, nezvitunha zvamadzimambo avo, zvive kure neni, ndigogara pakati pavo nokusingaperi.

⁹Now let them put away their fornication, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

¹⁰Zvino iwe, Mwanakomana womunhu, ratidza imba yaIsiraeri imba ino, kuti vanyare pamusoro pezvakaipa zvavo; ngavayere maitirwo ayo.

¹⁰Thou, son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be confounded at their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

¹¹Zvino kana vachinyara pamusoro pezvose zvavakaita, uvazivise chimiro cheimba, nokurongerwa kwayo, napanobudiwa napo, napanopindwa napo, nezvimiro zvayo zvose, nemitemo yayo yose, nezvimiro zvayo zvose, nemirayiro yayo yose; uzvinyore vachizviona, kuti vachengete chimiro chayo chose, nemitemo yayo yose, vazviite.

¹¹And if they be confounded at all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its statutes, yea, all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and do them.

¹²Uyu ndiwo murayiro weimba: Pamusoro pegomo kumuganhu waro wose kumativi ose pachava patsvene kwazvo. Tarirai, ndiwo murayiro weimba.

¹²This is the law of the house: Upon the top of the mountain all its border round about is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

¹³Uhwu ndihwo ukuru bwearitari zvichiyerwa namamita (mita ndiro mita rimwe noupamhi bwechanza): Chigadziko chinofanira kuita mita rimwe, noupamhi mita rimwe; chitenderedzo chayo panhivi dzayo chinofanira kuita upamhi bwechanza, ndipo pasi pearitari.

¹³And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: the cubit is a cubit and a hand breadth. The bottom was a cubit [in height] and the breadth a cubit, and its border on the edge thereof round about, one span: and this was the base of the altar.

¹⁴Kubva pachigadziko pasi kusvikira pamusara wapanyasi zvinofanira kuita mamita maviri, noupamhi mita rimwe; kubva pamusara muduku kusvikira pamusara mukuru zvinofanira kuita mamita mana, nohupamhi mita rimwe.

¹⁴And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle was two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the small settle to the great settle, four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

¹⁵Aritari yokumusoro inofanira kuita mamita mana; kubva pachoto chearitari zvichienda kumusoro kunofanira kuva nenyanga ina.

¹⁵And the upper altar was four cubits; and from the hearth of ùGod and upward were four horns.

¹⁶Choto chearitari chinofanira kuita mamita ane gumi namaviri pakureba, naane gumi namaviri paupamhi, mativi aro mana akaenzana.

¹⁶And the hearth of ùGod was twelve [cubits] long, by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.

¹⁷Musara unofanira kuita mamita ane gumi namana pakureba, uye ane gumi namana paupamhi kumativi aro mana; chitenderedzo chinopoteredza chinofanira kuita hafu yemita; chigadziko chayo chinofanira kuita mita rimwe kumativi ose; zvikwiriso zvayo zvinofanira kutarira kurutivi rwamabvazuva.

¹⁷And the settle was fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it, half a cubit; and the bottom thereof a cubit round about: and its steps looked toward the east.

¹⁸Zvino akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, Iyi ndiyo mitemo yearitari nezuva ravanoriita, kuzopisirapo zvibayiro zvinopiswa, nokusasirapo ropa.

¹⁸And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer up burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

¹⁹Unofanira kupa vapristi vaRevhi verudzi rwaZadhoki, vanoswedera kwandiri kuzondishumira, nzombe duku chive chipiriso chezvivi, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

¹⁹And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who come near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering.

²⁰Zvino unofanira kutora rimwe ropa rayo, ndokuriisa panyanga dzaro ina, nepamakona mana emusara, nepachitenderedzo chakapoteredza; saizvozvo unofanira kurinatsa nekuriyananisira.

²⁰And thou shalt take of its blood, and put it on the four horns thereof, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: so shalt thou purge and make atonement for it.

²¹Unofanira kutorawo nzombe yechipiriso chezvivi, ipiswe panzvimbo yakatarwa yeimba kunze kwenzvimbo tsvene.

²¹And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

²²Nezuva repiri unofanira kubayira nhongo isina mhosva, chive chipiriso chezvivi; zvino vanofanira kunatsa aritari, sezvavakarinatsa nenzombe.

²²And on the second day thou shalt present a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall purge the altar, as they purged it with the bullock.

²³Kana wapedza kurinatsa, unofanira kubayira nzombe duku isina mhosva, nehondobwe rakatorwa kumakwai.

²³When thou hast ended purging it, thou shalt present a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish;

²⁴Unofanira kuzviswededza pamberi paJehovha, vapristi vagokushira munyu pamusoro pazvo, ndokuzvibayira chive chipiriso chinopisirwa Jehovha.

²⁴and thou shalt present them before Jehovah; and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.

²⁵Uite mazuva mana uchigadzira nhongo zuva rimwe nerimwe chive chibayiro chezvivi; vanofanirawo kugadzira nzombe duku nehondobwe rinotorwa kumakwai zvisina mhosva.

²⁵Seven days shalt thou offer daily a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also offer a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

²⁶Vanofanira kuita mazuva manomwe vachiyananisira aritari nokurinatsa, nokuritsaurira Jehovha.

²⁶Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it, and consecrate it.

²⁷Zvino kana vapedza mazuva, nezuva rorusere, naanotevera, vapristi vanofanira kuuya nezvipiriso zvenyu zvinopiswa paaritari, nezvipiriso zvenyu zvokuyananisa, ipapo ndichakugamuchirai, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.

²⁷And when these days are ended, it shall be that upon the eighth day and onwards the priests shall offer your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
