1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 “Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo ichok odunga apar gariyo koa kuomgi, achiel ka achiel koa kuom jatelo moro ka moro mar dhoutgi. Ndik nying ngʼato ka ngʼato kuom odungane.
“Taura kuvaIsraeri utore tsvimbo gumi nembiri kubva kwavari, imwe chete kubva kuno mumwe nomumwe wavatungamiri vamarudzi amadzitateguru avo. Unyore zita romurume mumwe nomumwe patsvimbo yake.
3 E odunga mar Lawi ndike nying Harun, nimar nyaka bedi odunga achiel mar jatelo mar dhoot ka dhoot.
Patsvimbo yaRevhi unyore zita raAroni, nokuti panofanira kuva netsvimbo imwe chete yomukuru mumwe nomumwe worudzi rwamadzitateguru avo.
4 Ketgi e Hemb Romo e nyim Sandug Rapar, kama aromoe kodi.
Udziise muTende Rokusangana pamberi peChipupuriro, pandinosangana nemi.
5 Odunga mar ngʼat mayiero biro loth, kendo abiro tieko chuth ngʼur ma jo-Israel ngʼurnigo maonge giko.”
Tsvimbo yomunhu wandichasarudza ichabukira mashizha, uye ndichagumisa kupopota uku kwavaIsraeri kuri kuramba kuripo pamusoro pako.”
6 Omiyo Musa nowuoyo gi jo-Israel, kendo jotendgi nomiye odunga apar gariyo, ka moro ka moro en mar dhoutgi, kendo odunga mar Harun ne achiel kuomgi.
Saka Mozisi akataura navaIsraeri, uye vatungamiri vavo vakamupa tsvimbo gumi nembiri, imwe chete iri yomutungamiri mumwe nomumwe wamarudzi amadzitateguru avo, uye tsvimbo yaAroni yakanga iri pakati padzo.
7 Musa noketo odungago e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e Hema e nyim Sandug Rapar.
Mozisi akaisa tsvimbo idzi pamberi paJehovha muTende reChipupuriro.
8 Kinyne Musa nodonjo ei Hemb Rapar kendo noneno odunga mar Harun, mane ochungʼ e lo Lawi, ne pok ochako loth kende to thuokene bende nosechako dongo, ka gingʼich mamoro wangʼ kendo gigolo olembe mag oyungu.
Fume mangwana Mozisi akapinda muTende reChipupuriro uye akaona kuti tsvimbo yaAroni, iyo yaiva yakamirira imba yaRevhi, yakanga isina kungobukira bedzi asi yakanga yatungira, yava namaruva uye yabereka maarimondi.
9 Eka Musa nogolo odunga duto e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mi okelone jo-Israel duto. Ne gingʼiyogi, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nokawo odungane owuon.
Ipapo Mozisi akatora tsvimbo dzose kubva pamberi paJehovha akaenda nadzo kuvaIsraeri vose. Vakadzitarisa, ipapo murume mumwe nomumwe akatora tsvimbo yake.
10 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Dwok odunga mar Harun e nyim Sandug Rapar, mondo kane kaka ranyisi ne joma ongʼanyo. Mano biro tieko chuth kitgi mar ngʼur koda, mondo omi kik githo.”
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Dzorera tsvimbo yaAroni pamberi peTende reChipupuriro, kuti ichengetwe sechiratidzo kuvanhu vanondimukira. Izvozvi zvichagumisa kundipopotera kwavo, kuti varege kufa.”
11 Musa notimo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nonyise.
Mozisi akaita sezvaakarayirwa naJehovha, izvozvo ndizvo zvaakaita.
12 Jo-Israel nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wabiro tho! Waserwenyo, kendo wan duto waselal!
VaIsraeri vakati kuna Mozisi, “Isu tichafa hedu! Takarasika, takarasika isu tose!
13 Ngʼato angʼata mosudo machiegni gi hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye biro tho. Dibed ni wan duto wabiro tho?”
Ani naani achaswedera patabhenakeri yaJehovha achafa. Ko, isu tose tichafa here?”
