And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Uyisa rudzi rwaRevhi ugovaisa pamberi paAroni muprista kuti vagomubatsira.
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
7 Vanofanira kuita mabasa ake uye vagoshandira ungano yose paTende Rokusangana nokubata basa retabhenakeri.
and they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 VaRevhi uvape kuna Aroni navanakomana vake; ndivo vaIsraeri vanofanira kupiwa kwaari zvachose.
And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
10 Ugadze Aroni navanakomana vake kuti vagoshumira savaprista; ani zvake mumwewo anoswedera panzvimbo tsvene anofanira kuurayiwa.”
And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Ndakatora vaRevhi kubva pakati pavaIsraeri pachinzvimbo chedangwe romukomana rinoberekwa nomukadzi wose weIsraeri. VaRevhi ndevangu,
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;
13 nokuti matangwe ose ndeangu. Pandakauraya matangwe muIjipiti, ndakazvitsaurira dangwe rimwe nerimwe muIsraeri, angava munhu kana mhuka. Zvinofanira kuva zvangu. Ndini Jehovha.”
for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.
