Revhitiko 12

1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Uti kuvaIsraeri, ‘Mukadzi akava napamuviri akabereka mwanakomana, achava asina kuchena kwamazuva manomwe, sezvaanova asina kuchena paanoenda kumwedzi.

“Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.

3 Pazuva rorusere mukomana uyo anofanira kudzingiswa.

And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.

4 Zvino mukadzi anofanira kumirira mazuva makumi matatu namatatu kuti acheneswe pakubuda ropa kwake. Haafaniri kubata chinhu chipi zvacho chitsvene kana kusvika kunzvimbo tsvene kusvikira mazuva okucheneswa kwake apera.

The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.

5 Kana akabereka mwanasikana, kwevhiki mbiri mukadzi achava asina kuchena sepaanoenda kumwedzi. Ipapo anofanira kumira mazuva makumi matanhatu namatanhatu kuti acheneswe kubva pakubuda ropa.

If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.

6 “‘Kana mazuva okucheneswa nokuda kwomwanakomana kana mwanasikana apera, anofanira kuuya kumuprista pamusuo weTende Rokusangana, negwayana rine gore rimwe chete sechipiriso chinopiswa nehangaiwa diki kana njiva yechipiriso chechivi.

When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.

7 Achazvibayira pamberi paJehovha kuti agomuyananisira, achava akacheneswa kubva pakubuda ropa kwake. “‘Iyi ndiyo mirayiro yomukadzi anobatsirwa nomwanakomana kana mwanasikana.

And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.

8 Kana asingakwanisi kuuya negwayana, anofanira kuuya nenjiva mbiri kana hangaiwa diki mbiri, imwe yechipiriso chinopiswa imwe yechipiriso chechivi. Nenzira iyi muprista achamuyananisira uye achava akachena.’”

But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
