¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

²“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded,

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

³Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,

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

⁴and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to Yahweh before the tabernacle of Yahweh: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has 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.

⁵This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Yahweh.

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

⁶The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

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

⁷They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’

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

⁸“You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,

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

⁹and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to Yahweh; 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.

¹⁰“‘Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats 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 on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes 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 have said to the children of Israel, “No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner 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.

¹³“‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, 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, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats 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.

¹⁵“‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.

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

¹⁶But if he doesn’t wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
