1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
1Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati.
2“Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.
2Uzviitire hwamanda mbiri dzesirivha; unofanira kudziita nesirivha yakapambadzirwa; idzo dzinofanira kukubatsira kudana ungano nokuraira kuti mapoka afambe.
3When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
3Kana vachidziridza ungano yose inofanira kuungana kwauri pamukova wetende rokusangana.
4If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
4Kana vachiridza imwechete, zvino machinda vari vakuru vezviuru zvavaIsiraeri vanofanira kuungana kwauri.
5When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward.
5Kana muchiridzisa, mapoka okurutivi rwamabvazuva anofanira kusimuka, vafambe.
6When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
6Kana muchiridzisa rwechipiri mapoka okurutivi rwezasi anofanira kusimuka, vafambe; vanofanira kuridzisa kana vofamba nzendo.
7But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
7Asi kana ungano ichifanira kuunganidzwa, munofanira kuridza, asi musaridzisa.
8“The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
8Vanakomana vaAroni, vapristi, ndivo vanofanira kuridza hwamanda; ngazvive tsika kwamuri nokusingaperi kusvikira kumarudzi enyu ose.
9When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
9Kana muchindorwa munyika yenyu nomuvengi anokumanikidzai, munofanira kuridzisa nehwamanda; ipapo mucharangarirwa pamberi paJehovha Mwari wenyu, mugoponeswa pavavengi venyu.
10“Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God. I am Yahweh your God.”
10Uye nomusi wamunofara nawo, napamitambo yenyu yakatarwa napakutanga kwemwedzi yenyu, munofanira kuridza hwamanda pamusoro pezvipiriso zvenyu zvinopiswa, napamusoro pezvibayiro zvezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, kuti Jehovha akurangarirei nazvo; ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu.
11It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.

29Zvino Mozisi akati kuna Hobhabhu, mwanakomana waReueri, muMidhiani, mukarahwa waMozisi, Toenda kunzvimbo iyo yakanzi naJehovha, ndichakupai iyo; endai nesu, tigokuitirai zvakanaka, nekuti Jehovha akataura zvakanaka pamusoro pavaIsiraeri.
30He said to him, “I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives.”
30Iye akati kwaari, Handingaendi, asi ndichaenda hangu kunyika yangu nokuhama dzangu.
31He said, “Don’t leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.
31Iye akati, Ndinonyengetera kuti murege henyu kutisiya, zvamunoziva mudzikirwe wamatende edu murenje, muchava meso edu.
32It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yahweh does to us, we will do the same to you.”
32Kana mukaenda nesu, kana Jehovha akatiitira zvakanaka zvipi nezvipi, tichakuitirai izvozvowo.
33They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days’ journey. The ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
