Revhitiko 1

1 Jehovha akadana Mozisi akataura naye ari muTende Rokusangana akati,

And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:

2 “Taura kuvana vaIsraeri uti kwavari, ‘Kana munhu upi zvake pakati penyu achiuya nechipiriso kuna Jehovha ngaauye nechipiriso chezvipfuwo, zvemombe kana zvamakwai.

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep,

3 “‘Kana chipiriso chake chiri chinopiswa chinobva mudanga remombe, ngaape chikono chisina kuremara. Ngaachibayire pamusuo weTende Rokusangana kuti chigamuchirwe pamberi paJehovha.

If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord favourable to him:

4 Anofanira kuisa ruoko rwake pamusoro pechibayiro chinopiswa uye chichagamuchirwa chakamumirira iye kuti chimuyananisire.

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim, and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation.

5 Ngaabaye hando diki pamberi paJehovha uye ipapo vanakomana vaAroni vaprista vachauya neropa vagorisasa paaritari kumativi ose pamusuo wokupinda nawo muTende Rokusangana.

And he shall immolate the calf before the Lord, and the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it round about the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.

6 Anofanira kuvhiya chipiriso chinopiswa agochicheka kuita zvidimbu zvidimbu.

And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the joints into pieces,

7 Vanakomana vaAroni, muprista, vanofanira kuisa moto paaritari vagoronga huni pamoto.

And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile of wood:

8 Ipapo vanakomana vaAroni vaprista vacharonga zvidimbu zvenyama, zvichisanganisira musoro namafuta pamusoro pehuni dzinenge dzichipfuta paaritari.

And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order thereupon, to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the liver,

9 Anofanira kusuka nyama yomukati namakumbo nemvura, uye muprista agopisa zvose paaritari. Chipiriso chinopiswa, chipiriso chinogadzirwa nomoto, chinonhuhwira zvinofadza kuna Jehovha.

The entrails and feet being washed with water: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet savour to the Lord.

10 “‘Kana chipiriso chiri chinopiswa, chinobva muzvipfuwo, chiri chegwai kana chembudzi, anofanira kupa chikono chisina kuremara.

And if the offering be of the hocks, a holocaust of sheep or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish:

11 Ngaachibayire parutivi rwearitari nechokumusoro pamberi paJehovha, vanakomana vaAroni vaprista vagosasa ropa kumativi ose earitari.

And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar that looketh to the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about:

12 Anofanira kucheka nyama muzvidimbu uye muprista achaironga pamwe chete nomusoro namafuta pamusoro pehuni dzinenge dzichipfuta paaritari.

And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that cleave to the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which the fire is to be put:

13 Anofanira kusuka nyama yomukati namakumbo nemvura, uye muprista anofanira kuuyisa zvose agozvipisa pamusoro pearitari. Chibayiro chinopiswa, chibayiro chakagadzirwa nomoto, chinonhuhwira zvinofadza kuna Jehovha.

But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar for a holocaust, and most sweet savour to the Lord.

14 “‘Kana chipiriso chake kuna Jehovha chiri chipiriso chinopiswa cheshiri, ngaape njiva kana hangaiwa ichiri diki.

But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of birds, of turtles, or of young pigeons,

15 Muprista achaiisa paaritari agodambura musoro, oipisa paaritari; ropa rayo richaerera parutivi pearitari.

The priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down upon the brim of the altar.

16 Ngaabvise chihururu neminhenga agozvikanda kumabvazuva kwearitari kunenge kune madota.

But the crop of the throat, and the feathers he shall cast beside the altar at the east side, in the place where the ashes are wont to be poured out,

17 Achaibvambura namapapiro ayo asingaiparadzanisi zvachose, muprista agoipisa pahuni dziri pamoto uri paaritari. Chipiriso chinopiswa, chipiriso chakagadzirwa nomoto, chinonhuhwira zvinofadza kuna Jehovha.

And he shall break the pinions thereof, and shall not cut, nor divide it with a knife, and shall burn it upon the altar, putting fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.
