¹Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²Raira vaIsiraeri kuti vabudise pakati pemisasa vose vana maperembudzi, navose vane hosha yokuyerera, navose vakasvibiswa navakafa.

²“Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead.

³Munofanira kubudisa vose, varume navakadzi; muvabudise kunze kwemisasa, kuti varege kusvibisa misasa yavo, yandigere pakati payo.

³Both you shall put male and female outside of the camp; that they not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.”

⁴Vana vaIsiraeri vakaita saizvozvo; vakavabudisa kunze kwemisasa, sezvakataura Jehovha naMozisi, ndizvo zvakaita vana vaIsiraeri. Zvakabiwa zvinofanira kudzoswa

⁴The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

⁵Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi akati,

⁵Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁶Taura navana vaIsiraeri, uti, Kana murume kana mukadzi achinge atadza nokutadza kwavanhu, akatadzira Jehovha, munhu uyu akava nemhosva;

⁶“Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul is guilty;

⁷Ipapo anofanira kureurura zvivi zvake zvaakaita, ndokuripira mhosva yake yose, achiwedzera cheshanu chayo, ndokupa iye waakatadzira.

⁷then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.

⁸Kana munhu uyo asina hama, ingaripirwa pamusoro pemhosva iyo, muripo wemhosva, unoripirwa Jehovha, unofanira kuva womupristi, kunze kwegondobwe rokuyananisira, raanofanira kuyananisirwa naro.

⁸But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest’s; besides the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.

⁹Nezvipiriso zvinotsaurwa pazvinhu zvitsvene zvose zvavana valsiraeri, zvavanouya nazvo kumupristi, zvinofanira kuva zvake.

⁹Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.

¹⁰Zvinhu zvakatsaurwa zvomunhu mumwe nomumwe zvinofanira kuva zvake; chinhu chipi nechipi chinopiwa mupristi nomunhu chinofanira kuva chake.

¹⁰Every man’s holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”

¹¹Jehovha akataura naMozisi akati,

¹¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹²Taura navana vaIsiraeri, uti kwavari, Kana mukadzi womurume upi noupi akachinya, akamutadzira,

¹²“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,

¹³mumwe murume akavata naye, zvikavanzwa kumurume wake, zvikasazikamwa, iye akasvibiswa, asi vakashaiwa chapupu, naiye asina kubatwa achiita izvozvo;

¹³and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act;

¹⁴murume wake akabatwa nomweya weshungu, akava neshungu nomukadzi wake, wakasvibiswa kana zvimwe akabatwa nomweya weshungu, akava neshungu nomukadzi wake, usina kusvibiswa;

¹⁴and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she isn’t defiled:

¹⁵ipapo murume anofanira kuuya nomukadzi wake kumupristi, achiuyawo nechipo chake pamusoro pake, chinoti,chegumi choupfu bwebhari; haafaniri kudira mafuta pamusoro pahwo, kana kuisa zvinonhuhwira pamusoro pahwo; nekuti icho chipiriso choupfu cheshungu, chipiriso choupfu chokurangaridza, chinorangaridza zvakaipa.

¹⁵then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.

¹⁶Zvino mupristi anofanira kumuswededza, ndokumuisa pamberi paJehovha

¹⁶The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;

¹⁷Ipapo mupristi anofanira kutora mvura tsvene mumudziyo wevhu, mupristi agotorawo guruva riri pasi mutabhenakeri, ndokuriisa mumvura.

¹⁷and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water.

¹⁸Zvino mupristi anofanira kuisa mukadzi pamberi paJehovha, ndokusunungura musoro womukadzi, ndokuisa chipiriso chokurangaridza mumaoko ake, icho chipiriso choupfu cheshungu; mupristi ndokubata muruoko rwake mvura inovavisa, inouyisa kutuka.

¹⁸The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.

¹⁹Ipapo mupristi anofanira kumupikisa, achiti kumukadzi, Kana kusina murume akavata newe, kana usina kutsaukira kune zvakaipa, uri pasi pomurume wako, usunungurwe hako pamvura iyi inovavisa, inouyisa kutuka;

¹⁹The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you haven’t gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse.

²⁰asi kana wakatsauka, uri pasi pomurume wako, ukasvibiswa, mumwe murume asati ari murume wako achinge akavata newe,

²⁰But if you have gone astray, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:”

²¹zvino mupristi anofanira kupikisa mukadzi mhiko inouyisa kutuka, mupristi ndokuti kumukadzi, Jehovha ngaakuite chipiko chemhiko pakati porudzi rwako, kana Jehovha achiwondisa hudyu yako nokuzvimbisa dumbu rako;

²¹then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, “Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;

²²mvura iyi inouyisa kutuka ichapinda muura hwako, ndokuzvimbisa dumbu rako, nokuwondisa chidya chako; zvino mukadzi anofanira kuti, Ameni, ameni.

²²and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.” The woman shall say, “Amen, Amen.”

²³Ipapo mupristi anofanira kunyora kutuka uku parugwaro, ndokukusuka nemvura inovavisa.

²³“‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness.

²⁴Zvino anofanira kumwisa mukadzi mvura inovavisa, inouyisa kutuka inofanira kupinda mukati make, imuvavise.

²⁴He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.

²⁵Zvino mupristi anofanira kutora chipiriso choupfu cheshungu paruoko rwomukadzi, ndokuzunguzira chipiriso choupfu pamberi paJehovha, ndokuuya nacho kuaritari;

²⁵The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and bring it to the altar.

²⁶mupristi ndokutora tsama imwe yechipiriso choupfu, kuti chive chokurangaridza chacho, ndokuhupisa paaritari, ndokumwisa mukadzi mvura iyo pashure.

²⁶The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.

²⁷Zvino kana amumwisa mvura iyo, kana achinge asvibiswa, atadzira murume wake, mvura iyo inouyisa kutuka ichapinda maari, ikamuvavisa, dumbu rake richazvimba, nehudyu yake

²⁷When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse among her people.

²⁸Asi kana mukadzi uyo asina kusvibiswa, akanaka hake, achasunungurwa hake, akava nemimbazve.

²⁸If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

²⁹Ndiwo murayiro weshungu, kana mukadzi ari pasi pomurume wake, akachinya, akasvibiswa;

²⁹“‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled;

³⁰kana zvimwe murume achinge abatwa nomweya weshungu, ane shungu nomukadzi wake; ipapo anofanira kuisa mukadzi pamberi paJehovha, mupristi agomuitira nomurayiro uyu wose.

³⁰or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.

³¹Murume haangavi nemhosva, asi mukadzi anofanira kuva nemhosva yake.

³¹The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
