Leviticus 21
1 The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Taura kuvaprista vanakomana vaAroni uti kwavari: ‘Muprista haafaniri kuzvisvibisa, achiitira kunyange ani zvake pakati pavanhu vake vanofa.
2 except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,
Kunze kwehama yepedyo yakaita samai kana baba vake, mwanakomana kana mwanasikana wake, mukoma kana mununʼuna wake,
3 or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
kana hanzvadzi yake isina kuroorwa yaanochengeta sezvo asina murume nokuda kwaiyeyu angagona kuzvisvibisa.
4 But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
Haafaniri kuzvisvibisa nokuda kwavanhu vano ukama naye hwokuwanana, akadaro azvisvibisa.
5 Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
“‘Vaprista havafaniri kuveurwa misoro kana kudimburira ndebvu dzavo kana kutema miviri yavo nyora.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not pollute his name. For they offer the incense of the Lord and the bread of their God, and because of this they shall be holy.
Vanofanira kuva vatsvene kuna Mwari wavo uye havafaniri kumhura zita raMwari wavo. Nokuti vanouyisa kuna Jehovha zvipiriso zvinoitwa nomoto, nezvokudya zvaMwari wavo; naizvozvo vanofanira kuva vatsvene.
7 They shall not take as a wife a promiscuous woman, or a prostitute, or her who has been repudiated by her husband. For they are consecrated to their God,
“‘Havafaniri kuwana vakadzi vakasvibiswa noufeve kana kuti vakarambwa navarume vavo nokuti muprista mutsvene kuna Mwari wake.
8 and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.
Mutsaurei somutsvene nokuti ndiye anouya nezvokudya zvaMwari wenyu. Mutsaurei somutsvene nokuti ini Jehovha ndiri mutsvene, ini ndinokuitai vatsvene.
9 If the daughter of a priest will have been taken into prostitution, and will have violated the name of her father, she shall be consumed by fire.
“‘Kana mwanasikana womuprista akazvisvibisa nokuva chifeve, anonyadzisa baba vake; anofanira kupiswa mumoto.
10 The high priest, that is, the priest who is the greatest among his brothers, upon whose head the oil of anointing has been poured, and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood, and who has been vested with the holy vestments: he shall not expose his head; he shall not rend his vestments.
“‘Muprista mukuru, uyo ari pakati pamadzikoma ake navanunʼuna vake, akadirwa mafuta okuzodzwa pamusoro pake uye akagadzwa kuti apfeke nguo dzouprista, haafaniri kurega bvudzi rake risina kukamiwa, kana kubvarura nguo dzake.
11 And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.
Haafaniri kupinda munzvimbo ine chitunha. Haafaniri kuzvisvibisa kunyange nokuda kwababa vake kana mai vake,
12 Neither shall he exit from the holy places, lest he pollute the Sanctuary of the Lord. For the oil of the holy anointing of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
kana kubva munzvimbo tsvene yaMwari kana kuisvibisa, nokuti akakumikidzwa namafuta okuzodza aMwari wake. Ndini Jehovha.
13 He shall take a virgin as his wife.
“‘Mukadzi waanowana anofanira kunge ari mhandara izere.
14 But a widow, or one who has been repudiated or defiled, or also a mistress, he shall not accept, but only a maiden from among his own people.
Haafaniri kuwana chirikadzi, mukadzi akarambwa kana mukadzi akasvibiswa noufeve asi mhandara yakazara bedzi kubva kuvanhu vokwake,
15 He shall not mingle the stock of his family with the common people of his nation. For I am the Lord, who sanctifies him.
kuitira kuti arege kuzosvibisa zvizvarwa zvake pakati pavanhu vokwake. Ndini Jehovha ndinomuita mutsvene.’”
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
17 Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.
“Uti kuna Aroni, ‘Kuzvizvarwa zvichatevera hakuna mumwe wezvizvarwa zvako akaremara angaswedera pedyo kuzopa zvokudya zvaMwari wake.
18 Neither shall he approach to minister to him: if he is blind, if he is lame, if he is small, or large, or has a crooked nose,
Hapana munhu ano urema hupi zvahwo angaswedera pedyo: hakuna bofu kana anokamhina kana akaremara;
19 if his foot or hand is broken,
hakuna munhu ane gumbo rakaremara kana ruoko rwakaremara,
20 if he has a bulging back or bleary eyes, or if he has a white spot in his eye, or a chronic scab, or a skin disease on his body, or a hernia.
kana ane musana wakakombama, munhu akapfupikisa kana ano urema hwamaziso kana ane mamota kana ane mhezi, kana akakuvara manhu ake.
21 Anyone from the offspring of Aaron, the priest, who has a blemish, shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor the bread to his God.
Hapana wechizvarwa chaAroni akaremara neipi nzira angaswedera pedyo kuzopa zvipiriso zvinoitirwa Jehovha nomoto. Ano urema; haafaniri kuswedera pedyo kuzopa zvokudya zvaMwari wake.
22 Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.
Angadya hake zvokudya zvitsvene-tsvene zvaMwari wake, pamwe chete nezvokudya zvitsvene;
23 But even so, he may not enter within the veil, nor approach to the altar. For he has a blemish, and he must not contaminate my Sanctuary. I am the Lord, who sanctifies them.
asi nokuda kwourema hwake, haafaniri kusvika pedyo nechidzitiro kana kusvika paaritari, agosvibisa nzvimbo yangu tsvene. Ndini Jehovha ndinovaita vatsvene.’”
24 Therefore, Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all of Israel, everything that had been commanded to him.
Saka Mozisi akataura izvi kuna Aroni navanakomana vake nokuvaIsraeri vose.
