Numeri 1
1 Jehovha akataura naMozisi muTende Rokusangana, vari murenje reSinai, nezuva rokutanga romwedzi wechipiri, mugore rechipiri shure kwokubuda kwavaIsraeri muIjipiti, achiti,
On the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai. He said:
2 “Verenga ungano yose yavaIsraeri nedzimba dzavo uye nemhuri dzavo, uchinyora murume wose wose nezita rake, mumwe nomumwe.
“Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
3 Iwe naAroni munofanira kuverenga varume vose vari muIsraeri namapoka avo vane makore makumi maviri kana anodarika vanogona kurwa muhondo.
You and Aaron are to number those who are twenty years of age or older by their divisions—everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.
4 Murume mumwe chete kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, mumwe nomumwe ari mukuru wemhuri yake achakubatsira.
And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.
5 “Aya ndiwo mazita avarume vanofanira kukubatsira: “kubva kwaRubheni, Erizuri mwanakomana waShedheuri;
These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;

16 Ava ndivo varume vakatsaurwa kubva paungano, vatungamiri vamarudzi amadzibaba avo. Ndivo vaiva vakuru vedzimba dzavaIsraeri.
These men were appointed from the congregation; they were the leaders of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the clans of Israel.
17 Mozisi naAroni vakatora varume ava vane mazita avakanga vapiwa,
So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,

47 Kunyange zvakadaro, mhuri dzavaRevhi hadzina kuverengwa pamwe chete navamwe.
The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
48 Jehovha akanga ati kuna Mozisi:
For the LORD had said to Moses:
49 “Haufaniri kuverenga rudzi rwaRevhi kana kuvabatanidzira pakuverengwa kwavamwe vaIsraeri.
“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
50 Asi ugadze vaRevhi kuti vave vatariri vetabhenakeri yeChipupuriro, napamusoro pemidziyo yayo yose; vanofanira kutakura tabhenakeri nemidziyo yayo yose; vanofanira kuichengeta nokuikomberedza nemisasa yavo.
Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.
51 Panguva yose inobviswa tabhenakeri, vaRevhi ndivo vanofanira kuidzikisa pasi, uye panguva yose yainomiswa, vaRevhi ndivo vanofanira kuita izvozvo. Ani zvake mumwewo anoswedera kwairi achaurayiwa.
Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
52 VaIsraeri vanofanira kudzika matende avo namapoka avo, murume mumwe nomumwe mumusasa wake pasi pomureza wokwake.
The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
53 Zvakadaro hazvo, vaRevhi, vanofanira kudzika matende avo vakapoteredza tabhenakeri yeChipupuriro kuitira kuti hasha dzirege kuwira pamusoro peungano yavaIsraeri. VaRevhi ndivo vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yeChipupuriro.”
But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
54 VaIsraeri vakaita izvi zvose sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
