¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

²“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.

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.

³“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.

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;

⁴“‘Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;

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

⁵or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;

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

⁶the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water.

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

⁷When 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 dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.

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

⁹“‘They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

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

¹⁰“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, 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 buys a slave, purchased by 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.

¹²If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, 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 is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.

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

¹⁴“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

¹⁵Ngavarege kushatisa zvinhu zvitsvene zvavana vaIsiraeri zvavanopa Jehovha;

¹⁵The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,

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

¹⁶and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”

¹⁷Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹⁷Yahweh spoke to 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;

¹⁸“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering;

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

¹⁹that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰Asi musauya nechinhu chakaremara, nekuti hamungagamuchirwi nokuda kwacho.

²⁰But whatever has a blemish, that you shall 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.

²¹Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; no blemish shall be 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, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.

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

²³Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may 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 has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut, you shall not offer to Yahweh; neither shall you do thus in your land.

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

²⁵Neither shall you offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner 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,

²⁶Yahweh spoke to 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.

²⁷“When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

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

²⁸Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

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

²⁹“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

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

³⁰It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.

³¹Naizvozvo chengetai mirairo yangu, muiite; ndini Jehovha.

³¹“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.

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

³²You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,

³³ndakakubudisai panyika kuti ndive Mwari wenyu; ndini Jehovha.

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