1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
2 “Taura kuvaIsraeri utore tsvimbo gumi nembiri kubva kwavari, imwe chete kubva kuno mumwe nomumwe wavatungamiri vamarudzi amadzitateguru avo. Unyore zita romurume mumwe nomumwe patsvimbo yake.
“Wuo gi jo-Israel kendo ichok odunga apar gariyo koa kuomgi, achiel ka achiel koa kuom jatelo moro ka moro mar dhoutgi. Ndik nying ngʼato ka ngʼato kuom odungane.
3 Patsvimbo yaRevhi unyore zita raAroni, nokuti panofanira kuva netsvimbo imwe chete yomukuru mumwe nomumwe worudzi rwamadzitateguru avo.
E odunga mar Lawi ndike nying Harun, nimar nyaka bedi odunga achiel mar jatelo mar dhoot ka dhoot.
4 Udziise muTende Rokusangana pamberi peChipupuriro, pandinosangana nemi.
Ketgi e Hemb Romo e nyim Sandug Rapar, kama aromoe kodi.
5 Tsvimbo yomunhu wandichasarudza ichabukira mashizha, uye ndichagumisa kupopota uku kwavaIsraeri kuri kuramba kuripo pamusoro pako.”
Odunga mar ngʼat mayiero biro loth, kendo abiro tieko chuth ngʼur ma jo-Israel ngʼurnigo maonge giko.”
6 Saka Mozisi akataura navaIsraeri, uye vatungamiri vavo vakamupa tsvimbo gumi nembiri, imwe chete iri yomutungamiri mumwe nomumwe wamarudzi amadzitateguru avo, uye tsvimbo yaAroni yakanga iri pakati padzo.
Omiyo Musa nowuoyo gi jo-Israel, kendo jotendgi nomiye odunga apar gariyo, ka moro ka moro en mar dhoutgi, kendo odunga mar Harun ne achiel kuomgi.
7 Mozisi akaisa tsvimbo idzi pamberi paJehovha muTende reChipupuriro.
Musa noketo odungago e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e Hema e nyim Sandug Rapar.
8 Fume mangwana Mozisi akapinda muTende reChipupuriro uye akaona kuti tsvimbo yaAroni, iyo yaiva yakamirira imba yaRevhi, yakanga isina kungobukira bedzi asi yakanga yatungira, yava namaruva uye yabereka maarimondi.
Kinyne Musa nodonjo ei Hemb Rapar kendo noneno odunga mar Harun, mane ochungʼ e lo Lawi, ne pok ochako loth kende to thuokene bende nosechako dongo, ka gingʼich mamoro wangʼ kendo gigolo olembe mag oyungu.
9 Ipapo Mozisi akatora tsvimbo dzose kubva pamberi paJehovha akaenda nadzo kuvaIsraeri vose. Vakadzitarisa, ipapo murume mumwe nomumwe akatora tsvimbo yake.
Eka Musa nogolo odunga duto e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mi okelone jo-Israel duto. Ne gingʼiyogi, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nokawo odungane owuon.
10 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Dzorera tsvimbo yaAroni pamberi peTende reChipupuriro, kuti ichengetwe sechiratidzo kuvanhu vanondimukira. Izvozvi zvichagumisa kundipopotera kwavo, kuti varege kufa.”
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Dwok odunga mar Harun e nyim Sandug Rapar, mondo kane kaka ranyisi ne joma ongʼanyo. Mano biro tieko chuth kitgi mar ngʼur koda, mondo omi kik githo.”
11 Mozisi akaita sezvaakarayirwa naJehovha, izvozvo ndizvo zvaakaita.
Musa notimo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nonyise.
12 VaIsraeri vakati kuna Mozisi, “Isu tichafa hedu! Takarasika, takarasika isu tose!
Jo-Israel nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wabiro tho! Waserwenyo, kendo wan duto waselal!
13 Ani naani achaswedera patabhenakeri yaJehovha achafa. Ko, isu tose tichafa here?”
Ngʼato angʼata mosudo machiegni gi hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye biro tho. Dibed ni wan duto wabiro tho?”
