¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

²“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

²Tarira, ndadana Bhezareri, mwanakomana, waUri, mwanakomana waHuri, worudzi rwaJudha, nezita rake,

³and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,

³ndikamuzadza noMweya waMwari, nouchenjeri, nokunzwisisa, nokuziva kose, nokugona marudzi ose amabasa,

⁴to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

⁴kuti afunge mano oumhizha, nokubata nendarama, nesirivha, nendarira,

⁵and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.

⁵nokuveza mabwe anoiswa mukati, nokuveza matanda, nokugona marudzi ose amabasa.

⁶I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

⁶Uye ini, tarira ndakagadza pamwechete naye Ohoriabhu, mwanakomana waAhisamaki, worudzi rwaDhani; nomumoyo yavose vane moyo yakangwara ndakaisa uchenjeri, kuti, vaite, zvose zvandakakuraira,

⁷the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,

⁷zvinoti: Tende rokusangana, neareka yechipupuriro, nechifunhiro chokuyananisa chiri pamusoro payo, nenhumbi dzose dzetabhenakeri,

⁸the table and its vessels, the pure lampstand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

⁸netafura nenhumbi dzayo, nechigadziko chemwenje chakaisvonaka nenhumbi dzacho dzose, nearitari yezvinonhuhwira,

⁹the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

⁹nearitari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa nenhumbi dzayo dzose, nomudziyo wokushambidzira nechigadziko chawo,

¹⁰the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest—the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office,

¹⁰nenguvo dzakarukwa zvakanaka, nenguvo tsvene dzaAroni mupristi, nenguvo dzavanakomana vake dzokubata basa roupristi nadzo,

¹¹the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

¹¹namafuta okuzodza nawo, nezvinonhuhwira zvemiti inonaka zvapanzvimbo tsvene; vanofanira kuita zvose sezvandakakuraira.

¹²Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹²Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi akati,

¹³“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

¹³Taura navana vaIsiraeri, uti, Zvirokwazvo munofanira kuchengeta masabata angu; nekuti chiratidzo pakati pangu nemwi kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose, muzive kuti ndini Jehovha unokutsaurai.

¹⁴You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

¹⁴Naizvozvo chengetai sabata, nekuti idzvene kwamuri; ani naani unorizvidza ngaaurawe zvirokwazvo; nekuti ani naani unobata basa ripi neripi naro, munhu uyo ngaabviswe pakati porudzi rwake.

¹⁵Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

¹⁵Mabasa ose ngaabatwe namazuva matanhatu, asi zuva rechinomwe isabata rokuzorora kwazvo, idzvene kuna Jehovha; ani naani unobata basa ripi neripi nezuva resabata, ngaaurawe zvirokwazvo.

¹⁶Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

¹⁶Naizvozvo vana vaIsiraeri vanofanira kuchengeta sabata, varangarire sabata kusvikira kumarudzi avo ose; ive sungano isingaperi.

¹⁷It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

¹⁷Chiratidzo pakati pangu navana vaIsiraeri nokusingaperi; nekuti Jehovha wakaita denga nenyika namazuva matanhatu, akazorora nezuva rechinomwe, akasimbiswa.

¹⁸He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.

¹⁸Zvino wakati apedza kutaura naMozisi pagomo reSinai, akamupa mabwendefa maviri echipupuriro, mabwendefa amabwe akanga akanyorwa nomumwe waMwari.
