1 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lanhlanu wokuthunjwa kwethu, ekuqaliseni komnyaka, ngolwetshumi lwenyanga, ngomnyaka wetshumi lane emva kokuthi umuzi usutshayiwe, ngalona lolosuku isandla seNkosi saba phezu kwami, wangiletha lapho.
Mugore ramakumi maviri namashanu rokutapwa kwedu, pakutanga kwegore, pazuva regumi romwedzi, mugore regumi namana, mushure kwokukundwa kweguta, pazuva racho iroro ruoko rwaJehovha rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pangu uye akandiendesako.
2 Ngemibono kaNkulunkulu wangisa elizweni lakoIsrayeli, wangibeka phezu kwentaba ende kakhulu; njalo eceleni kwayo kwakulokunjengesakhiwo somuzi ngaseningizimu.
Pane zvandakaratidzwa naMwari akanditora akandiendesa kunyika yeIsraeri akandimisa pagomo refu refu, zasi kwaro kwakanga kune dzimba dzakanga dzichiratidzika seguta.
3 Wasengiletha khona, khangela-ke, kwakulomuntu osimo sakhe sasinjengesimo sethusi, elentambo yefilakisi esandleni sakhe, lomhlanga wokulinganisa; wema-ke esangweni.
Akandiendesa ikoko, ndikaona munhu akanga achiratidzika sendarira; akanga akamira pasuo ane tambo yomucheka netsvimbo yokueresa muruoko rwake.
4 Lowomuntu wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, bona ngamehlo akho, uzwe ngendlebe zakho, ubeke inhliziyo yakho phezu kwakho konke engizakutshengisa khona; ngoba ulethwe lapha ukuze ngikutshengise khona. Landisa konke okubonayo kuyo indlu yakoIsrayeli.
Murume uyu akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, tarira nameso ako unzwe nenzeve dzako uye uongorore zvose zvandichakuratidza, nokuti wakasvitswa pano kuti ndikuratidze izvozvi. Utaurire imba yaIsraeri zvose zvaunoona.”
5 Khangela-ke, kwakulomduli ngaphandle kwendlu ozingelezeleyo inhlangothi zonke, lesandleni somuntu kwakulomhlanga wokulinganisa wezingalo eziyisithupha, ngengalo lobubanzi besandla. Waselinganisa ububanzi besakhiwo, baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lokuphakama, kwaba ngumhlanga owodwa.
Ndakaona rusvingo rwakanga rwakapoteredza nzvimbo yose yetemberi. Urefu hwetsvimbo yokuera yakanga iri muruoko rwomurume uyu hwaisvika makubhiti matanhatu, rimwe nerimwe richiita kubhiti rimwe chete noupamhi hwechanza. Akayera rusvingo; ukobvu hworusvingo hwakanga huchiita tsvimbo yokuyera imwe chete, uye urefu huchiita tsvimbo imwe chete.
6 Wasesiza esangweni elikhangele indlela yempumalanga, wakhwela ngezinyathelo zalo, walinganisa umbundu wesango, ububanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lomunye umbundu, ububanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa.
Ipapo akaenda kusuo rakatarisa kumabvazuva. Akakwira nezvikwiriso zvaro ndokuyera chikumbaridzo chesuo; chakanga chichiita tsvimbo imwe chete pakudzika.
7 Njalo yilelo lalelokamelo, ubude baba ngumhlanga owodwa, lobubanzi baba ngumhlanga owodwa; laphakathi kwamakamelo kwaba yizingalo ezinhlanu; lombundu wesango ngasekhulusini lesango ngaphakathi waba ngumhlanga owodwa.
Makamuri avarindi akanga akaenzana netsvimbo imwe chete yokuyera paurefu uye tsvimbo imwe chete paupamhi, uye masvingo apakati pamakamuri akanga ari makubhiti mashanu paukobvu. Uye chikumbaridzo chesuo rakanga riri parutivi rwebiravira rakatarisana netemberi chaiita tsvimbo imwe chete pakudzika.
8 Walinganisa lekhulusi lesango ngaphakathi, laba ngumhlanga owodwa.
Ipapo akayera biravira resuo;
9 Waselinganisa ikhulusi lesango, laba yizingalo eziyisificaminwembili; lemigubazi yawo, yaba zingalo ezimbili; lekhulusi lesango lalingaphakathi.
rakanga rakadzika kwamakubhiti masere uye mbiru dzacho makubhiti maviri paukobvu. Biravira resuo rakanga rakanangana netemberi.
10 Lamakamelo esango ngendlela yempumalanga ayemathathu ngapha lamathathu ngapha; njalo womathathu ayelesilinganiso sinye; lemigubazi yayilesilinganiso sinye ngapha langapha.
Mukati mesuo rokumabvazuva makanga muna makamuri matatu parutivi rumwe norumwe; ose ari matatu akanga ane chiyero chakaenzana.
11 Waselinganisa ububanzi bentuba yesango, baba yizingalo ezilitshumi; ubude besango, baba yizingalo ezilitshumi lantathu.
Ipapo akayera upamhi hwomukova wokusuo; wakanga una makubhiti gumi uye urefu hwacho hwaisvika makubhiti gumi namatatu.
12 Lomkhawulo phambi kwamakamelo wawuyingalo eyodwa ngapha, lomkhawulo wengalo eyodwa ngapha; lekamelo laliyizingalo eziyisithupha ngapha, lezingalo eziyisithupha ngapha.
Pamberi pekamuri rimwe nerimwe pakanga pane madziro akareba kubhiti rimwe chete, uye makamuri akanga ana makubhiti matanhatu akaenzana.
13 Waselinganisa isango kusukela ephahleni lwelinye ikamelo kusiya ephahleni lwelinye; ububanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, umnyango phambi komnyango.
Ipapo akayera musuo kubva nechokumusoro kwamadziro kumashure kwerimwe ramakamuri nechokumusoro kwakatarisana nerimwe; nhambwe dzakanga dzichisvika makubhiti makumi maviri namashanu kubva pakazaruka pamadziro kusvikira kuno rumwe rutivi rwakatarisana nawo.
14 Wenza futhi imigubazi yaba zingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, ngitsho kuze kube semgubazini weguma inhlangothi zonke zesango zizingelezele.
Akayera pakatarisana namasvingo aionekwa achipoteredza nechomukati mesuo, makubhiti makumi matanhatu. Akayera kusvika pabiravira rakatarisana noruvazhe.
15 Njalo kusukela ebusweni besango lokungena kuze kube sebusweni bekhulusi lesango elingaphakathi kwaba zingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu.
Nhambwe dzaibva pamukova wesuo kusvikira kwokupedzisira kwebiravira dzakanga dziri makubhiti makumi mashanu.
16 Futhi kwakulamawindi avaliweyo emakamelweni, lasemigubazini yawo ngaphakathi kwesango inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo; langokunjalo amakhulusi; lamawindi inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo ngaphakathi; laphezu kwemigubazi kwakulezihlahla zelala.
Makamuri namasvingo aionekwa omukati mesuo akanga akavharirwa nechidziro namawindo maduku akapoteredza, sezvakanga zvakaita pabiravira; napamawindo akapoteredza akatarisa nechomukati; mberi kwamasvingo kwakanga kwakashongedzwa nemiti yemichindwe.
17 Wasengingenisa egumeni elingaphandle, khangela-ke, kwakulamakamelo, lendawo egandelweyo eyenzelwe iguma inhlangothi zonke ezingelezeleyo; kwakulamakamelo angamatshumi amathathu phezu kwendawo egandelweyo.
Ipapo akandipinza muruvazhe rwokunze. Ndakaona dzimba ikoko uye nzira dzakanga dzakavakirwa dzakakomberedza ruvazhe; makanga muna makamuri makumi matatu aiva mujinga menzira yakavakirwa.
18 Lendawo egandelweyo yayingasemasangweni maqondana lobude bamasango; kwakuyindawo egandelweyo engaphansi.
Yakanga yakaganhurana norutivi rwamasuo uye yakaenzana paupamhi sokureba kwadzakanga dzakaita; ndiyo yakanga iri nzira yakavakirwa yenyasi.
19 Waselinganisa ububanzi, kusukela ngaphambi kwesango elingaphansi kusiya ngaphambi kweguma elingaphakathi ngaphandle, kwaba yizingalo ezilikhulu, ngasempumalanga langasenyakatho.
Ipapo akayera nhambwe kubva nechomukati kwerutivi rwesuo rezasi kusvikira kunze kworuvazhe rwomukati; rwakanga runa makubhiti zana nechokumabvazuva, uye nechokumusorowo.
20 Lesango elikhangele indlela yenyakatho, kulo iguma elingaphandle, walinganisa ubude balo lobubanzi balo.
Ipapo akayera urefu noupamhi hwesuo rakatarisana nechokumusoro raienda kuruvazhe rwokunze.
21 Lamakamelo alo ayemathathu ngapha, njalo emathathu ngapha; lemigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango lokuqala. Ubude balo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
Makamuri aro, matatu kurutivi rumwe norumwe, masvingo aro aionekera nebiravira raro zvakanga zvakaenzana nezviya zvesuo rokutanga. Rakanga rakareba makubhiti makumi mashanu uye rina makubhiti makumi maviri namashanu paupamhi.
22 Lamawindi alo lamakhulusi alo lezihlahla zalo zelala kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango elikhangele indlela yempumalanga. Njalo benyukela kilo ngezinyathelo eziyisikhombisa; lamakhulusi alo ayephambi kwakho.
Mawindo aro, mabiravira aro uye miti yokushongedza yemichindwe, zvakanga zvakangoenzana nezviya zvesuo rakanga rakatarisa kumabvazuva. Zvikwiriso zvinomwe ndizvo zvaisvitsa ikoko, zvakatarisana nebiravira racho.
23 Lesango leguma elingaphakathi lalimaqondana lesango elingasenyakatho langasempumalanga. Waselinganisa kusukela esangweni kusiya esangweni, kwaba zingalo ezilikhulu.
Pakanga pane suo rinopinda muruvazhe rwomukati rakanga rakanangana nesuo rokumusoro, sezvazvakanga zvakaitawo nechokumabvazuva. Akayera kubva pane rimwe suo kusvikira pane rakanangana naro; aiva makubhiti zana.
24 Emva kwalokho wangiletha ngendlela yeningizimu, khangela-ke, kwakukhona isango ngasendleleni yeningizimu; waselinganisa imigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo njengokwalezizilinganiso.
Ipapo akanditungamirira kurutivi rwezasi ndikaona suo rakatarisa zasi. Akayera mbiru dzaro namabiravira aro, uye akanga akangoenzana namamwe pakuyera.
25 Kwakukhona amawindi kilo lakuwo amakhulusi alo azingelezeleyo inhlangothi zonke, njengalawomawindi. Ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
Suo nebiravira raro zvaiva namawindo maduku aipoteredza, samawindo amamwe. Rakanga rakareba makubhiti makumi mashanu uye rine upamhi huna makubhiti makumi maviri namashanu.
26 Kwakukhona izinyathelo eziyisikhombisa zokwenyukela kilo, lamakhulusi alo ayephambi kwazo; njalo lalilezihlahla zelala, esinye ngapha, lesinye ngapha, phezu kwemigubazi yalo.
Zvikwiriso zvinomwe ndizvo zvaisvitsa ikoko, zvakatarisana nebiravira racho; rakanga rine miti yokushongedza yemichindwe pamadziro aionekera kurutivi rumwe norumwe.
27 Kwakukhona isango egumeni elingaphakathi ngendlela yeningizimu; waselinganisa kusukela esangweni kusiya esangweni ngendlela yeningizimu, kwaba zingalo ezilikhulu.
Ruvazhe rwomukati nairwowo rwakanga rune suo rakatarisa zasi, uye akayera kubva pasuo iri kusvika kusuo rokunze kurutivi rwezasi; aiva makubhiti zana.
28 Wasengiletha egumeni elingaphakathi ngesango leningizimu, walinganisa isango leningizimu njengokwezilinganiso lezi.
Ipapo akaenda neni kuruvazhe rwomukati achipinda napasuo rezasi, uye akayera suo rezasi; rakanga rakaenzana namamwe pakuyera.
29 Lamakamelo alo lemigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo kwakunjengokwezilinganiso lezi. Njalo kwakukhona amawindi kilo lakuwo amakhulusi alo inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo. Lobude babuyizingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
Makamuri aro, namadziro anoonekera uye namabiravira aro, akanga akaenzana namamwe pakuyera. Suo nebiravira raro zvakanga zvina mawindo akazvipoteredza. Akanga akareba makubhiti makumi mashanu noupamhi huna makubhiti makumi maviri namashanu.
30 Kwakulamakhulusi azingelezeleyo inhlangothi zonke; ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, lobubanzi babuzingalo ezinhlanu.
Mabiravira emasuo akanga akapoteredza ruvazhe rwomukati akanga ane upamhi huna makubhiti makumi maviri namashanu uye makubhiti mashanu pakudzika.
31 Lamakhulusi alo aba ngasegumeni elingaphandle, lezihlahla zelala zaziphezu kwemigubazi yalo, lokwenyukela kilo kwakulezinyathelo eziyisificaminwembili.
Biravira raro rakanga rakatarisana noruvazhe rwokunze; miti yemichindwe yakanga yakashongedza mbiru dzaro, uye zvikwiriso zvisere ndizvo zvaisvitsa ikoko.
32 Wasengiletha egumeni elingaphakathi ngasendleleni yempumalanga; walinganisa isango njengokwezilinganiso lezi.
Ipapo akandipinza muruvazhe rwomukati nechokumabvazuva, iye ndokuyera suo; rakanga rakangoenzana namamwe pakuyera.
33 Lamakamelo alo lemigubazi yalo lamakhulusi alo kwakunjengokwezilinganiso lezi; kwakukhona amawindi kilo lakuwo amakhulusi alo inhlangothi zonke kuzingelezele. Ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
Makamuri aro namadziro aro aionekera nebiravira racho zvakanga zvakaenzana nezvimwe pakuyera. Suo nebiravira raro zvakanga zvina mawindo kumativi ose. Zvakanga zvakareba makubhiti makumi mashanu uye makubhiti makumi maviri namashanu paupamhi.
34 Lamakhulusi alo ayengasegumeni elingaphandle; lezihlahla zelala zazisemigubazini yalo, ngapha langapha; lokwenyukela kilo kwakulezinyathelo eziyisificaminwembili.
Biravira raro rakanga rakatarisana noruvazhe rwokunze; miti yemichindwe yakanga yakashongedza mbiru kumativi ose, uye zvikwiriso zvisere ndizvo zvaisvitsa ikoko.
35 Wasengisa esangweni elingenyakatho, walinganisa njengezilinganiso lezi.
Ipapo akaenda neni kusuo rokumusoro ndokuriyera. Rakanga rakangoenzana namamwe pakuyera,
36 Amakamelo alo, imigubazi yalo, lamakhulusi alo, lamawindi ayekulo inhlangothi zonke azingelezeleyo; ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amahlanu, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili lanhlanu.
sezvakanga zvakaitawo makamuri aro, namadziro aro aionekera uye biravira racho, uye rakanga rina mawindo kumativi ose. Rakanga rakareba makubhiti makumi mashanu uye makubhiti makumi maviri namashanu paupamhi.
37 Lemigubazi yalo yayingasegumeni elingaphandle, lezihlahla zelala zazisemigubazini yalo, ngapha langapha; lokwenyukela kilo kwakulezinyathelo eziyisificaminwembili.
Biravira raro rakanga rakatarisana noruvazhe rwokunze; miti yemichindwe yakanga yakashongedza mbiru kumativi ose, uye zvikwiriso zvisere ndizvo zvaisvitsa ikoko.
38 Njalo amakamelo leminyango yalo kwakungasemigubazini yamasango; lapho babegezisela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
Kamuri rino mukova rakanga riri pabiravira pasuo rimwe nerimwe rechomukati, kwaisukirwa zvibayiro zvinopiswa.
39 Lekhulusini lesango kwakukhona amatafula amabili ngapha, lamatafula amabili ngapha, ukuhlabela phezu kwawo umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono lomnikelo wecala.
Mubiravira rapasuo makanga muna matafura maviri pamativi ose, paiurayirwa zvibayiro zvinopiswa, zvezvivi nezvemhosva.
40 Laseceleni ngaphandle ekwenyukeleni kuso isivalo sesango lenyakatho kwakulamatafula amabili, laseceleni elinye elingasekhulusini lesango kwakulamatafula amabili.
Kurutivi rwokunze rworusvingo rwebiravira repasuo, pedyo nezvikwiriso zvapamukova nechokumusoro kwesuo rokumusoro kwakanga kune matafura maviri, uye kuno rumwe rutivi rwezvikwiriso kwaivawo namatafura maviri.
41 Amatafula amane ngapha, lamatafula amane ngapha, ngaseceleni kwesango; amatafula ayisificaminwembili, ababehlabela phezu kwawo.
Saka kwakanga kuna matafura mana parutivi rwesuo uye mamwezve mana kuno rumwe rutivi, matafura masere munzvimbo dzose, pakanga pachiurayirwa zvibayiro.
42 Lamatafula amane omnikelo wokutshiswa awamatshe abaziweyo; ubude babuyingalo eyodwa lengxenye, lobubanzi babuyingalo eyodwa lengxenye, lokuphakama kwakuyingalo eyodwa. Phezu kwawo babeka izikhali abahlaba ngazo umnikelo wokutshiswa lomhlatshelo.
Kwakanga kuna mamwezve matafura mana amabwe akashongedzwa ezvibayiro zvinopiswa, rimwe nerimwe rine kubhiti rimwe nehafu paurefu, kubhiti nehafu paupamhi uye kubhiti rimwe chete pakukwirira. Pamusoro pawo pakanga pakaiswa midziyo yavaibayira nayo zvibayiro zvinopiswa nezvimwewo zvibayiro.
43 Kwakulezingwegwe, eziyibubanzi besandla sinye, zimisiwe ngaphakathi inhlangothi zonke ezizingelezeleyo; laphezu kwamatafula kwakulenyama yomnikelo.
Uye zvikokovono zvaiva nemhanda mbiri, chimwe nechimwe chakanga chine upamhi hwechanza chomunhu pakureba, zvakanga zvakasungirirwa pamadziro ose. Matafura akanga ari enyama yezvipiriso.
44 Langaphandle kwesango elingaphakathi kwakulamakamelo abahlabeleli egumeni elingaphakathi, elaliseceleni kwesango elisenyakatho, lokukhangela kwalo kusendleleni yeningizimu; elilodwa liseceleni kwesango eliseningizimu, likhangele ngasendleleni yenyakatho.
Kunze kwesuo romukati, nechomukati moruvazhe rwomukati, makanga muna makamuri maviri, rimwe kurutivi rwesuo rokumusoro uye rakatarisa kumusoro.
45 Wasesithi kimi: Lelikamelo okukhangela kwalo kusendleleni yeningizimu, lingelabapristi, abagcina umlindo wendlu.
Iye akati kwandiri, “Kamuri rakatarisa zasi, nderavaprista vanochengeta temberi,
46 Lekamelo okukhangela kwalo kusendleleni yenyakatho lingelabapristi, abagcina umlindo welathi. La ngamadodana kaZadoki phakathi kwamadodana kaLevi, asondela eNkosini ukuyikhonza.
Uye kamuri rakatarisa kumusoro nderavaprista vanochengeta aritari. Ava ndivo vana vaZadhoki, vanova ndivo vaRevhi chete vangaswedera pedyo naJehovha kuti vashumire pamberi pake.”
47 Waselinganisa iguma; ubude baba zingalo ezilikhulu, lobubanzi baba zingalo ezilikhulu, lilingene inhlangothi zozine; lelathi laliphambi kwendlu.
Ipapo akayera ruvazhe: Rwakanga rwakaenzana mativi ose, makubhiti zana pakureba, uye makubhiti zana paupamhi. Uye aritari yakanga iri pamberi petemberi.
48 Wasengiletha ekhulusini lendlu, walinganisa umgubazi wekhulusi, izingalo ezinhlanu ngapha lezingalo ezinhlanu ngapha, lobubanzi besango, izingalo ezintathu ngapha, lezingalo ezintathu ngapha.
Akandiendesa kubiravira retemberi ndokuyera mbiru dzebiravira, dzakanga dzina makubhiti mashanu kumativi ose. Upamhi hwesuo hwaiva makubhiti gumi namana uye madziro acho aionekera akanga ana makubhiti matatu paupamhi kumativi ose.
49 Ubude bekhulusi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lobubanzi buzingalo ezilitshumi lanye; wasengiletha ngezinyathelo abenyukela kulo ngazo; futhi kwakulezinsika ngasemigubazini, enye ngapha, lenye ngapha.
Biravira rakanga rina makubhiti makumi maviri paupamhi, uye makubhiti gumi namaviri kubva mberi kusvika shure. Ikoko kwaisvikwa nezvikwiriso, uye kwakanga kune mbiru parutivi rumwe norumwe rwedzimwe mbiru.
