Numeri 3
1 Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yemhuri yaAroni naMozisi panguva iyo Jehovha akataura naMozisi paGomo reSinai.
These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai.
2 Mazita avanakomana vaAroni aiva Nadhabhi dangwe rake, naAbhihu, naEreazari naItamari.
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 Ndiwo akanga ari mazita avanakomana vaAroni, ivo vaprista vakazodzwa, vakanga vagadzwa kuti vashumire savaprista.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
4 Kunyange zvakadaro, Nadhabhi naAbhihu, vakafa pamberi paJehovha panguva yavakaita chipiriso nomoto wakanga usingabvumirwi pamberi pake muRenje reSinai. Vakanga vasina vanakomana; saka Ereazari naItamari chete ndivo vakashumira sevaprista, Aroni baba vavo vachiri vapenyu.
And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the sight of Aaron their father.
5 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
And the LORD 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 to him.

And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 you shall 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 you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.

And the LORD 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 all the firstborn that opens the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore 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.”
Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: my shall they be: I am the LORD.
