¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²Ndiwo murayiro womunhu una maperembudzi nomusi wokunatswa kwake: Unofanira kuiswa kumupristi;

²“This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest,

³zvino mupristi anofanira kubuda kunze kwemisasa, mupristi ugocherekedza munhu uyu; kana akaona kuti hosha yamaperembudzi yapora hayo kumunhu una maperembudzi;

³and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,

⁴mupristi anofanira kuraira kuti unoda kunatswa atorerwe shiri mbiri mhenyu dzakanaka, nedanda romusidhari, nomucheka mutsvuku, nehisopi.

⁴then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵Zvino mupristi araire kuti shiri imwe iurawe muhari yevhu, pamusoro pemvura inoyerera.

⁵The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁶Zvino anofanira kutora shiri mhenyu, nedanda romusidhari, nomucheka mutsvuku, nehisopi, ndokuzvinyika pamwechete neshiri mhenyu muropa reshiri yakaurawa pamusoro pemvura inoyerera.

⁶As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.

⁷Zvino anofanira kurisasa kanomwe pamusoro pomunhu unoda kunatswa pamaperembudzi ake, ndokureva kuti wakanaka; ipapo woregedza shiri mhenyu, iende hayo kusango.

⁷He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.

⁸Zvino munhu unoda kunatswa anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake, nokuveura vhudzi rake rose, ndokushamba mumvura, agova wakanaka; pashure anofanira kupinda mukati memisasa, asi ngaagare kunze kwetende mazuva manomwe.

⁸“He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.

⁹Nomusi wechinomwe anofanira kuveura vhudzi rake rose romusoro wake, nendebvu dzake, netsiye dzake, aveure vhudzi rake rose; zvino ngaasuke nguvo dzake, ndokushamba muviri wake, agova wakanaka.

⁹It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.

¹⁰Nomusi worusere anofanira kutora makwayana maviri amakondobwe, asina mhosva, negwayana rimwe resheche rine gore rimwe, risina mhosva, nezvegumi zvitatu zveefa youpfu hwakatsetseka, chive chipiriso choupfu, hwakakanyiwa namafuta, nerogi imwe yamafuta.

¹⁰“On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

¹¹Zvino mupristi, unomunatsa, anofanira kuisa munhu unoda kunatswa pamberi paJehovha, pamwechete nezvinhu izvi, pamukova wetende rokusangana;

¹¹The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

¹²mupristi ndokutora rimwe ramakwayana amakondobwe, ndokuribayira, chive chipiriso chemhosva, nerogi yamafuta, agozvizunguzira, chive chipiriso chokuzunguzira pamberi paJehovha;

¹²“The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

¹³zvino anofanira kuuraya gwayana regondobwe pavanourayira chipiriso chezvivi nechipiriso chinopiswa panzvimbo tsvene; nekuti chipiriso chemhosva ndechomupristi sechipiriso chezvivi; chitsvene kwazvo.

¹³He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.

¹⁴Ipapo mupristi anofanira kutora rimwe ropa rechipiriso chemhosva, mupristi agoriisa pamucheto wenzeve yorudyi yomunhu unonatswa, napagumwe rorutsoka rwake rworudyi;

¹⁴The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

¹⁶The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh.

¹⁷mamwe mafuta akasara muruoko rwake mupristi anofanira kuaisa pamucheto wenzeve yorudyi yomunhu unonatswa, napagumwe roruoko rwake rworudyi, napagumwe rorutsoka rwake rworudyi, pamusoro peropa rechipiriso chemhosva;

¹⁷The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.

¹⁸mamwe mafuta akasara muruoko rwomupristi anofanira kuaisa pamusoro womunhu unonatswa; kuti mupristi amuyananisire pamberi paJehovha.

¹⁸The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh.

¹⁹mupristi anofanira kupisa chipiriso chezvivi, kuti ayananisire munhu unonatswa, nokuda kokusanaka kwake; pashure anofanira kuuraya chipiriso chinopiswa;

¹⁹“The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;

²⁰and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

²¹Kana ari murombo, asingagoni kuwana zvizhinji zvakadai, anofanira kutora gwayana rimwe regondobwe, chive chipiriso chemhosva chokuzunguzira, kumuyananisira, nechegumi cheefa youpfu hwakatsetseka, hwakakanyiwa namafuta, chive chipiriso choupfu, pamwechete nerogi yamafuta;

²¹“If he is poor, and can’t afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

²²nenjiva mbiri, notwana tuviri twenjiva, sezvaanogona kuwana; imwe chive chipiriso chezvivi, imwe chive chipiriso chinopiswa;

²²and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

²³nomusi worusere anofanira kuuya nazvo kumupristi pamusoro pokunatswa kwake, kumukova wetende rokusangana pamberi paJehovha.

²³“On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before Yahweh.

²⁴The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

²⁵zvino ngaauraye gwayana rechipiriso chemhosva, agotora rimwe ropa rechipiriso chemhosva, ariise pamucheto wenzeve yomunhu unonatswa, napagumwe roruoko rworudyi, napagumwe rorutsoka rwake rworudyi;

²⁵He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

²⁶zvino mupristi ngaadire mamwe mafuta muchanza choruoko rwake rworuboshwe;

²⁶The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;

²⁷mupristi agosasa nomutendeka wake worudyi mamwe mafuta ari muruoko rwake rworuboshwe kanomwe pamberi paJehovha.

²⁷and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Yahweh.

²⁹Mamwe mafuta akasara muruoko rwomupristi anofanira kuaisa pamusoro womunhu unonatswa, kuti amuyananisire pamberi paJehovha.

²⁹The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Yahweh.

³²This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.

³³Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi naAroni akati,

³³Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴Kana masvika kunyika yeKanani, iyo yandakupai, kuti ive yenyu, kana ndikaisa hosha yamaperembudzi muimba yenyika yenyu;

³⁴“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

³⁵muridzi weimba anofanira kuuya kuzoudza mupristi, achiti, Ndinoona kuti imba yangu inenge ine hosha.

³⁵then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’

³⁶Ipapo mupristi anofanira kuraira kuti vabudise zvose zviri mumba, iye mupristi asina kupinda kundotarira hosha, kuti zvose zviri mumba zvirege kusvibiswa; pashure mupristi apinde kundotarira imba iyo.

³⁶The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

³⁷Zvino ngaacherekedze hosha; kana akaona kuti hosha iri mumadziro eimba; ina mavara akapinda, akaita samatema kana matsvuku, akaita saakapinda mukati mamadziro,

³⁷He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall;

³⁸mupristi anofanira kubuda paimba, ndokuenda kumukova weimba, ndokupfiga imba mazuva manomwe;

³⁸then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹zvino mupristi anofanira kudzokazve nezuva rechinomwe, kuti acherekedze; kana akaona kuti hosha yakapararira pamadziro eimba;

³⁹The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰mupristi anofanira kuraira kuti vabvise mabwe ane hosha paari, vaakandire panzvimbo isina kunaka kunze kweguta;

⁴⁰then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:

⁴¹ipapo ngaaraire kuti imba iparwe mukati mayo kunhivi dzose, mavhu avanopara agodururirwa kunze kweguta panzvimbo isina kunaka;

⁴¹and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.

⁴²zvino mamwe mabwe atorwe, aiswe panzvimbo yamamwe iwayo, iye atore aumbe imba naro.

⁴²They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³Kana hosha ikadzokazve, ikabuda muimba iyo, mabwe ambobviswa, imba yaparwa nokuuyiwa,

⁴³“If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered;

⁴⁴mupristi anofanira kupinda nokucherekedza; kana akaona kuti hosha yapararira mumba, ndiwo maperembudzi akaipa kwazvo, yava yakaipa.

⁴⁴then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.

⁴⁵Zvino anofanira kuputsa imba, namabwe ayo, namatanda ayo, nevhu rose reimba, ndokuzvitakurira kunze kweguta kunzvimbo isina kunaka.

⁴⁵He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶Uye ani naani unopinda mumba panguva yose yokupfigwa kwayo uchava usina kunaka kusvikira madeko.

⁴⁶“Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁷Munhu wakavata muimba iyo, anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake.

⁴⁷He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸Kana mupristi akapinda, akatarira, akaona kuti hosha haina kupararira mumba, kubva pakuuyiwa kweimba, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti imba yakanaka, nekuti hosha yapora.

⁴⁸“If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹Zvino anofanira kutora shiri mbiri, nedanda romusidhari, nomucheka mutsvuku, nehisopi, kuti anatse imba;

⁴⁹To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ipapo ngaauraye shiri imwe muhari yevhu pamusoro pemvura inoyerera,

⁵⁰He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ndokutora danda romusidhari, nehisopi, nomucheka mutsvuku, neshiri mhenyu, azvinyike muropa reshiri yakaurawa uye mumvura inoyerera, ndokusasa imba kanomwe;

⁵¹He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵²anofanira kunatsa imba neropa reshiri nemvura inoyerera neshiri mhenyu, nedanda romusidhari, nehisopi nomucheka mutsvuku;

⁵²He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

⁵³asi shiri mhenyu anofanira kuiregedza kuti iende hayo kunze kweguta kusango; saizvozvo anofanira kuyananisira imba iyo, kuti ive yakanaka.

⁵³but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.”

⁵⁴Ndiwo murayiro wamarudzi ose wamaperembudzi napakafunuka;

⁵⁴This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,
