Numbers 3
1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yemhuri yaAroni naMozisi panguva iyo Jehovha akataura naMozisi paGomo reSinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the oldest, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Mazita avanakomana vaAroni aiva Nadhabhi dangwe rake, naAbhihu, naEreazari naItamari.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests, on whom the holy oil was put, who were marked out as priests.
Ndiwo akanga ari mazita avanakomana vaAroni, ivo vaprista vakazodzwa, vakanga vagadzwa kuti vashumire savaprista.
4 And Nadab and Abihu were put to death before the Lord when they made an offering of strange fire before the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests before Aaron their father.
Kunyange zvakadaro, Nadhabhi naAbhihu, vakafa pamberi paJehovha panguva yavakaita chipiriso nomoto wakanga usingabvumirwi pamberi pake muRenje reSinai. Vakanga vasina vanakomana; saka Ereazari naItamari chete ndivo vakashumira sevaprista, Aroni baba vavo vachiri vapenyu.
5 And the Lord said to Moses,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
6 Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,
“Uyisa rudzi rwaRevhi ugovaisa pamberi paAroni muprista kuti vagomubatsira.
7 In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;
Vanofanira kuita mabasa ake uye vagoshandira ungano yose paTende Rokusangana nokubata basa retabhenakeri.
8 And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.
Vanofanira kuchengeta midziyo yose yeTende roKusangana, vazadzise mabasa avaIsraeri pakuita kwavo basa retabhenakeri.
9 Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.
VaRevhi uvape kuna Aroni navanakomana vake; ndivo vaIsraeri vanofanira kupiwa kwaari zvachose.
10 And give orders that Aaron and his sons are to keep their place as priests; any strange person who comes near is to be put to death.
Ugadze Aroni navanakomana vake kuti vagoshumira savaprista; ani zvake mumwewo anoswedera panzvimbo tsvene anofanira kuurayiwa.”
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
Jehovha akatizve kuna Mozisi,
12 See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;
“Ndakatora vaRevhi kubva pakati pavaIsraeri pachinzvimbo chedangwe romukomana rinoberekwa nomukadzi wose weIsraeri. VaRevhi ndevangu,
13 For all the first sons are mine; on the day when I put to death all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I took for myself every first male birth of man and beast. They are mine; I am the Lord.
nokuti matangwe ose ndeangu. Pandakauraya matangwe muIjipiti, ndakazvitsaurira dangwe rimwe nerimwe muIsraeri, angava munhu kana mhuka. Zvinofanira kuva zvangu. Ndini Jehovha.”
14 And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi ari murenje reSinai,
15 Let all the children of Levi be numbered by their families and their fathers' houses; let every male of a month old and over be numbered.
“Verenga vaRevhi nemhuri dzavo uye nedzimba dzavo. Uverenge vanhurume vose vane mwedzi mumwe chete kana kupfuura pakuberekwa.”
16 So Moses did as the Lord said, numbering them as he had been ordered.
Saka Mozisi akavaverenga. Sezvaakanga arayirwa neshoko raJehovha.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Aya ndiwo mazita avanakomana vaRevhi: Gerishoni, Kohati naMerari.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon, by their families: Libni and Shimei.
Aya ndiwo aiva mazita edzimba dzavaGerishoni: Ribhini naShimei.
19 And the sons of Kohath, by their families: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel.
Dzimba dzavaKohati: Amurami, Izhari, Hebhuroni naUzieri.
20 And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites in the order of their fathers' houses.
Dzimba dzavaMerari: Mari naMushi. Idzi ndidzo dzaiva dzimba dzavaRevhi maererano nemhuri dzavo.
21 From Gershon come the Libnites and the Shimeites; these are the families of the Gershonites.
Kuna Gerishoni ndiko kwaiva nedzimba dzavaRibhini navaShimei; ndivo vakanga vari vedzimba dzavaGerishoni.
22 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were seven thousand, five hundred.
Kuwanda kwavanhurume vose vaiva nomwedzi mumwe chete kana kupfuura pakuberekwa kwaisvika zviuru zvinomwe, namazana mashanu.
23 The tents of the Gershonites are to be placed at the back of the House, to the west.
Vedzimba dzavaGerishoni vaifanira kuvaka misasa nechokumavirira, shure kwetabhenakeri.
24 The chief of the Gershonites is Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Mutungamiri wemhuri yavaGerishoni akanga ari Eriasafi mwanakomana waRaeri.
25 In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,
VaGerishoni ndivo vaifanira kuchengeta tabhenakeri netende, zvifukidzo zvaro, chidzitiro chapamukova wokuTende Rokusangana,
26 And the hangings for the open space round the House and the altar, and the curtain for its doorway, and all the cords needed for its use.
zvidzitiro zvaparuvazhe, chidzitiro chapamukova wokupinda paruvazhe runopoteredza tabhenakeri nearitari, uye netambo, nezvinhu zvose zvaishandiswapo.
27 From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.
Kuna Kohati ndiko kwaiva nedzimba dzavaAmiramu, vaIsraeri, vaHebhuroni navaIzhari; ava ndivo vakanga vari vedzimba dzavaKohati.
28 Those who were numbered of them, the males from one month old and over, were eight thousand, six hundred, who were responsible for the care of the holy place.
Kuwanda kwavanhu vose vaiva nomwedzi mumwe chete kana kupfuura pakuberekwa kwaisvika zviuru zvisere namazana matanhatu. VaKohati ndivo vaiva nebasa rokuchengeta nzvimbo tsvene.
29 The tents of the Kohathites are to be placed on the south side of the House.
VaKohati vaifanira kudzika matende avo nechezasi kwetabhenakeri.
30 Their chief is Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Mutungamiri wemhuri yedzimba dzavaKohati akanga ari Erizafani mwanakomana waUzieri.
31 In their care are the ark, and the table, and the lights, and the altars, and all the vessels used in the holy place, and the veil, and all they are used for.
Ndivo vaiva nebasa rokuchengeta areka, tafura, chigadziko chomwenje, aritari, midziyo yomunzvimbo tsvene yaishandiswa pakushumira, chidzitiro, nezvose zvaidiwa pakuzvishandisa.
32 Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, will be head over all the Levites and overseer of those responsible for the care of the holy place.
Mutungamiri mukuru wavaRevhi akanga ari Ereazari mwanakomana waAroni, muprista. Ndiye akagadzwa kuti ave pamusoro paavo vaiva nebasa rokuchengeta nzvimbo tsvene.
33 From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.
Kuna Merari ndiko kwaiva nedzimba dzavaMari navaMushi; ava ndivo vakanga vari vedzimba dzavaMerari.
34 Those who were numbered of them, the males of a month old and over, were six thousand, two hundred.
Kuwanda kwavanhurume vose vaiva nomwedzi mumwe chete, kana kupfuura, pakuberekwa avo vakaverengwa, vakanga vachisvika zviuru zvitanhatu, namazana maviri.
35 The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.
Mutungamiri wemhuri yedzimba dzavaMerari akanga ari Zurieri mwanakomana waAbhihairi; uye ndivo vaifanira kuvaka misasa yavo nechokumusoro kwetabhenakeri.
36 And in their care are to be all the boards of the Tent, with their rods and pillars and bases, and all the instruments, and all they are used for,
VaMerari vakanga vagadzwa kuti vave vachengeti vamatende etabhenakeri, mbariro dzayo, mbiru, hwaro, nhumbi dzayo dzose, nezvinhu zvose zvaishandiswa pamwe chete nazvo,
37 And the pillars of the open space round it, with their bases and nails and cords.
pamwe chete nembiru dzinopoteredza ruvazhe nehwaro hwadzo, mbambo dzetende netambo dzadzo.
38 And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.
Mozisi naAroni navanakomana vake vaifanira kudzika misasa yavo nechokumabvazuva kwetabhenakeri, kwakatarisana nokumabudazuva, mberi kweTende Rokusangana. Ndivo vaiva nebasa rokuchengeta nzvimbo tsvene vakamirira vaIsraeri. Ani zvake mumwewo aiswedera panzvimbo tsvene aifanira kuurayiwa.
39 All the Levites numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord, all the males of one month old and over numbered in the order of their families, were twenty-two thousand.
Kuwanda kwavaRevhi vakaverengwa pakurayira kwaJehovha kubudikidza naMozisi naAroni maererano nedzimba dzavo, zvichisanganisira vanhurume vose vaiva nomwedzi mumwe chete kana kupfuura pakuberekwa, kwaisvika zviuru makumi maviri nezviviri.
40 And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Verenga matangwe ose avanhurume avaIsraeri ano mwedzi mumwe chete kana kupfuura pakuberekwa ugonyora mazita avo.
41 And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.
Unditorere vaRevhi pachinzvimbo chamatangwe ose avaIsraeri, uye nezvipfuwo zvavaRevhi pachinzvimbo chezvibereko zvokutanga zvose zvezvipfuwo zvavana vavaIsraeri. Ndini Jehovha.”
42 So Moses had all the first sons among the children of Israel numbered, as the Lord said to him.
Saka Mozisi akaverenga matangwe ose avaIsraeri, sezvaakarayirwa naJehovha.
43 Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.
Kuwanda kwamatangwe avanhurume vaiva nomwedzi mumwe kana kupfuura pakuberekwa vakanyorwa mazita avo, kwaisvika zviuru makumi maviri nezviviri, namazana maviri namakumi manomwe navatatu.
44 And the Lord said to Moses,
Jehovha akatizve kuna Mozisi,
45 Take the Levites in place of all the first sons of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites in place of their cattle; the Levites are to be mine; I am the Lord.
“Tora vaRevhi pachinzvimbo chamatangwe ose eIsraeri, uye zvipfuwo zvavaRevhi pachinzvimbo chezvipfuwo zvavo. VaRevhi vanofanira kuva vangu. Ndini Jehovha.
46 And the price you have to give for the two hundred and seventy-three first sons of the children of Israel which are in addition to the number of the Levites,
Kuti udzikinure mazana maviri namakumi manomwe navatatu vamatangwe avaIsraeri,
47 Will be five shekels for every one, by the scale of the holy place (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
unofanira kutora mashekeri mashanu kubva kuno mumwe nomumwe wavo maererano namashekeri enzvimbo tsvene, anorema magera makumi maviri.
48 And this money, the price of those over the number of the Levites, is to be given to Aaron and his sons.
Upe mari yokudzikinurwa kwavaIsraeri vanopfuura uwandu hunodiwa kuna Aroni navanakomana vake.”
49 So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;
Saka Mozisi akatora mari yedzikinuro kubva kuna vakanga vapfuurira uwandu hwavaya vakanga vadzikinurwa navaRevhi.
50 From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;
Kubva kumatangwe eIsraeri akatora sirivha yairema chiuru chimwe, namazana matatu namakumi matanhatu namashanu amashekeri, maererano neshekeri renzvimbo tsvene.
51 And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.
Mozisi akapa mari yedzikinuro kuna Aroni navanakomana vake, sezvaakanga arayirwa neshoko raJehovha.
