Numbers 6
1 Yahweh also said this to Moses/me:
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If any of you [wants to] make a solemn promise to dedicate himself to belong to me in a special way, [after you obey these instructions], you will be called a Nazir-man, [which means “dedicated man”].
“Taura kuvaIsraeri uti kwavari: ‘Kana murume kana mukadzi akada kuita mhiko yakasarudzika, iyo mhiko yokuzvitsaurira kuna Jehovha somuNaziri,
3 You must not drink any wine or other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink any vinegar made from wine or from any other alcoholic/fermented drink. You must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
anofanira kusanwa waini nezvimwe zvinodhaka uye haafaniri kunwa vhiniga yakaitwa newaini kana nezvimwe zvinonwiwa zvinodhaka. Haafaniri kunwa muto wamazambiringa, kana kudya mazambiringa, kana akaomeswa.
4 You must not eat anything that comes from grapevines, not even the skins or seeds of grapes, during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
Panguva yose youNaziri hwake, haafaniri kudya chinhu chipi zvacho chinobva pamuti womuzambiringa, dzingava mhodzi kana mateko zvawo.
5 ‘Even your hair will be dedicated to me during the time that you area Nazir-man, so you must never allow anyone to cut your hair. Until the time that your solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me is ended, you must allow your hair to grow long.
“‘Mazuva ose okupika kwake kwokuzvitsaura hapana chisvo chichashandiswa kuveura musoro wake. Anofanira kuva mutsvene kusvikira nguva yokutsaurirwa kwake kuna Jehovha yapera; anofanira kurega bvudzi romusoro wake rirebe.
6 And you must not go near a corpse during the time that you are a Nazir-man.
Haafaniri kuswedera pachitunha mazuva ose aakazvitsaurira kuna Jehovha.
7 Even if the person who died is your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, you must not cause yourself to become unacceptable to me [by coming close to the corpse]. Your long hair [MTY] shows that you belong to me in a special way, so you must not cut your hair.
Kunyange kana baba vake chaivo, kana mai vake, kana mununʼuna kana hanzvadzi vafa, haafaniri kuzvisvibisa nokuda kwavo, nokuti chiratidzo chokuzvitsaurira kuna Mwari chiri pamusoro wake.
8 You are required to keep doing this all the time that you are dedicated to me in this special way.
Mutsvene kuna Jehovha pamazuva ake ose aakazvitsaura.
9 ‘If anyone dies very suddenly when he is near you, then your hair that you have dedicated to me is no longer sacred. So you must wait seven days and then shave it all off. Then you must perform a special ritual to cause yourself to become acceptable to me again.
“‘Kana mumwe munhu akafa pakarepo iye ari ipapo, nokudaro akasvibisa bvudzi raakakumikidza, anofanira kuveura musoro wake nezuva rokunatswa kwake, iro zuva rechinomwe.
10 The next day you must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Ipapo nezuva rorusere anofanira kuuya nenjiva mbiri kana twana tuviri twenjiva kumuprista ari pamusuo weTende Rokusangana.
11 ‘The priest must [kill the birds and] offer them as sacrifices. One of them will be an offering to enable me to forgive you for the sins you have committed, and the other will be an offering that is burned completely to please me. [After the priest burns them on the altar], I will forgive you for having come close to a corpse, and [when] your hair [grows again it] will be dedicated to me again.
Muprista anofanira kupa imwe yacho sechipiriso chechivi uye imwe yacho sechipiriso chinopiswa kuti amuyananisire nokuti iye akatadza paakava pedyo nechitunha. Anofanira kunatsa musoro wake nezuva iroro.
12 The amount of time that you were set apart for me the previous time does not count, because you had become unacceptable to me [by coming close to a corpse] during the time that you were a Nazir-man. So you must again make a solemn promise to dedicate yourself to me for the entire amount of time that you indicated the previous time. And you must also sacrifice a one-year-old lamb for not doing what you were required to do.
Anofanira kuzvikumikidza kuna Jehovha panguva yokuzvitsaura kwake uye anofanira kuuya nomukono wegwayana regore rimwe chete sechipiriso chemhosva.
13 ‘When the time that you promised to dedicate yourself to me is ended, go to the entrance of the Sacred Tent
“‘Zvino uyu ndiwo murayiro womuNaziri panopera nguva yokuzvitsaura kwake. Anofanira kuuyiswa kumusuo weTende Rokusangana.
14 and offer as sacrifices to me three animals that have no defects: Offer a one-year-old ram that will be burned completely, a one-year-old female lamb as a sacrifice to enable me to forgive your sins, and one full-grown ram as a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
Anofanira kupa kuna Jehovha chipiriso chake ipapo: mukono wegore rimwe chete wegwayana risina charingapomerwa kuti rive chipiriso chinopiswa, sheshe yegwayana regore rimwe chete isina kuremara kuti chive chipiriso chokuwadzana,
15 ‘When you bring those animals, you must also bring some wine to offer as a sacrifice. And you must also bring a basket of bread that you have made with very good flour and [olive] oil. But you must not put any yeast in the bread. Also brush/spread some [olive] oil on some thin wafers and bring them to the priest.
pamwe chete nechipiriso chezviyo nechipiriso chokunwa, uye dengu rechingwa chisina mbiriso, keke rakaitwa noupfu hwakatsetseka hwakavhenganiswa namafuta, nezvingwa zvitete zvakazorwa mafuta.
16 ‘The priest will put the young lamb and the young ram on the altar and completely burn them, in order that I will be pleased and will forgive you for your sins.
“‘Muprista anofanira kuuya nazvo pamberi paJehovha agoita chipiriso chechivi nechipiriso chinopiswa.
17 Then he will kill the full-grown ram as an offering to restore fellowship with me, and he will also burn on the altar some of the bread and the grain and wine.
Anofanira kuuyisa dengu rechingwa chisina mbiriso uye agobayira gondobwe sechipiriso chokuwadzana kuna Jehovha, pamwe chete nechipiriso chezviyo nechipiriso chinonwiwa.
18 ‘After that, you must [stand at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent and shave off your hair. Then you must put that hair in the fire that is under the [animal that has been sacrificed] on the altar to maintain fellowship with me.
“‘Zvino pamusuo weTende Rokusangana, muNaziri anofanira kuveura bvudzi riya raakakumikidza. Anofanira kutora bvudzi iro agoriisa mumoto uri pasi pechibayiro chokuwadzana.
19 ‘The meat from the ram’s shoulder must be boiled. After it is cooked, the priest will take it along with one of the loaves of bread and one wafer which has been brushed with [olive] oil, and he will put them in your hands.
“‘Shure kwokunge muNaziri aveura bvudzi rokuzvikumikidza kwake, muprista anofanira kuisa mumaoko ake bandauko rakabikwa regondobwe, uye keke nechingwa chitete kubva mudengu, zvose zvakabikwa zvisina mbiriso.
20 Then the priest will [take them back and] lift them up high to dedicate them to me. They now belong to the priest, and he is permitted to eat some of the meat from the ram’s shoulder and from its ribs and from one of its thighs, because that meat is his share of the sacrifice. After that, you will no longer be a Nazir-man, and you will again be permitted to drink wine.
Ipapo muprista achazvininira pamberi paJehovha sechipiriso chokuninira; izvi zvitsvene uye ndezvomuprista, pamwe chete nechipfuva chakaninirwa uye chidya chakakumikidzwa. Shure kwaizvozvo, muNaziri anganwa hake waini.
21 ‘Those are the regulations about the offerings that Nazir-men solemnly promise to bring to me to end their time of being dedicated to me. They must bring these offerings, but if they want to, they may bring additional offerings. And they must do everything that they solemnly promised to do when they dedicated themselves to me.’”
“‘Uyu ndiwo murayiro womuNaziri anenge apikira chipiriso kuna Jehovha maererano nokuzvitsaura kwake pamusoro pezvimwe zvose zvaanenge achigona kupa. Anofanira kuzadzisa mhiko yaakaita, zviri maererano nomurayiro womuNaziri.’”
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons that when they [ask me to] bless the people, they must say,
“Udza Aroni navanakomana vake uti, ‘Munofanira kuropafadza vaIsraeri nomutoo uyu. Muti kwavari:
24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you and protect you,
“‘Jehovha akuropafadzei uye akuchengetei;
25 and that he will smile at you and act kindly toward you,
Jehovha ngaapenyese chiso chake pamusoro penyu uye akunzwirei tsitsi;
26 and that he will be good to you [IDM] and cause things to go well for you.’”
Jehovha ngaarinzire chiso chake kwamuri uye akupei rugare.’”
27 Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
“Saka vachaisa zita rangu pamusoro pavaIsraeri, uye ndichavaropafadza.”
