1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
2 “Uti kuvaIsraeri, ‘Mukadzi akava napamuviri akabereka mwanakomana, achava asina kuchena kwamazuva manomwe, sezvaanova asina kuchena paanoenda kumwedzi.
“Abaana ba Isirayiri bagambe nti, ‘Omukazi bw’anaabanga olubuto, n’azaala omwana nga wabulenzi, omukazi oyo taabenga mulongoofu okumala ennaku musanvu, okufaanana nga bw’atabeera mulongoofu ng’ali mu kiseera ky’okulwala kw’abakazi okwa buli mwezi.
3 Pazuva rorusere mukomana uyo anofanira kudzingiswa.
Ku lunaku olw’omunaana omwana oyo omulenzi anaakomolebwanga.
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.
Ate omukazi anaalindanga ne wayitawo ennaku amakumi asatu mu ssatu alyoke atukuzibwe olw’omusaayi ogwamuvaamu ng’azaala. Taakwatenga ku kintu ekitukuvu wadde okuyingiranga mu watukuvu okutuusa ng’ennaku z’okutukuzibwa kwe ziweddeko.
5 Kana akabereka mwanasikana, kwevhiki mbiri mukadzi achava asina kuchena sepaanoenda kumwedzi. Ipapo anofanira kumira mazuva makumi matanhatu namatanhatu kuti acheneswe kubva pakubuda ropa.
Naye bw’anaabanga azadde omwana wabuwala, omukazi taabenga mulongoofu okumala wiiki bbiri, nga bw’abeera ng’ali mu kiseera kye eky’okulwala kw’abakazi okwa buli mwezi. Ate anaalindanga ennaku nkaaga mu mukaaga alyoke alongoosebwe olw’omusaayi ogwamuvaamu ng’azaala.
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.
“‘Ennaku z’omukazi oyo ez’okutukuzibwa bwe zinaggwangako, bw’anaabanga azadde omwana mulenzi oba muwala, anaaleetanga eri kabona ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, omwana gw’endiga oguwezezza omwaka gumu obukulu okuguwaayo ng’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, ng’enjiibwa ento oba ejjiba ng’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi.
7 Achazvibayira pamberi paJehovha kuti agomuyananisira, achava akacheneswa kubva pakubuda ropa kwake. “‘Iyi ndiyo mirayiro yomukadzi anobatsirwa nomwanakomana kana mwanasikana.
Kabona anaabiwangayo eri Mukama okutangirira omukazi oyo; bw’atyo anaabeeranga mulongoofu olw’omusaayi ogwamuvaamu ng’amaze okuzaala. “‘Ago ge mateeka agakwata ku mukazi anaazaalanga omwana owoobulenzi oba owoobuwala.
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.’”
Bw’anaabanga tasobola kuwaayo mwana gwa ndiga, anaaleetanga bibiri bibiri ku bino: enjiibwa ento bbiri oba amayiba abiri, ekimu nga ky’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa n’ekirala nga ky’ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi. Mu ngeri eno kabona anaamutangiririranga, bw’atyo n’afuuka mulongoofu.’”
