Numeri 3
1 Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yemhuri yaAroni naMozisi panguva iyo Jehovha akataura naMozisi paGomo reSinai.
Now, these, were the pedigrees of Aaron and Moses, —in the day when Yahweh spake 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—the firstborn Nadab, —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 that were anointed, —who were installed to minister as priests.
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.
But Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they brought near strange fire before Yahweh in the desert of Sinai, and sons, had they none, —so then Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests, in the presence of Aaron their father.
5 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
6 “Uyisa rudzi rwaRevhi ugovaisa pamberi paAroni muprista kuti vagomubatsira.
Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt cause it to stand before Aaron the priest, —so shall they wait upon him;
7 Vanofanira kuita mabasa ake uye vagoshandira ungano yose paTende Rokusangana nokubata basa retabhenakeri.
so shall they keep his charge, and the charge of all the assembly, before the tent of meeting, —to do the laborious work of the habitation;
8 Vanofanira kuchengeta midziyo yose yeTende roKusangana, vazadzise mabasa avaIsraeri pakuita kwavo basa retabhenakeri.
so shall they have charge of all the furniture of the tent of meeting, even the charge of the sons of Israel, —to do the laborious work of the habitation.
9 VaRevhi uvape kuna Aroni navanakomana vake; ndivo vaIsraeri vanofanira kupiwa kwaari zvachose.
Thus shalt thou give the Levites unto Aaron and unto his sons, —given, given, they are unto him, from among the sons of Israel;
10 Ugadze Aroni navanakomana vake kuti vagoshumira savaprista; ani zvake mumwewo anoswedera panzvimbo tsvene anofanira kuurayiwa.”
but unto Aaron, and unto his sons, shalt thou give oversight, so shall they keep charge of their priesthood, —and, the stranger who cometh near, shall be put to death.
11 Jehovha akatizve kuna Mozisi,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
12 “Ndakatora vaRevhi kubva pakati pavaIsraeri pachinzvimbo chedangwe romukomana rinoberekwa nomukadzi wose weIsraeri. VaRevhi ndevangu,
I, therefore, lo! I have taken the Levites out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of every firstborn that a mother beareth, from among the sons of Israel, —so shall the Levites 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, mine, is every firstborn, in the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto myself every firstborn in Israel, both of man and of beast, —mine, did they become, and belong unto me, Yahweh.
14 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi ari murenje reSinai,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, in the desert of Sinai, saying: —
15 “Verenga vaRevhi nemhuri dzavo uye nedzimba dzavo. Uverenge vanhurume vose vane mwedzi mumwe chete kana kupfuura pakuberekwa.”
Number thou the sons of Levi, by their ancestral houses, by their families, —every male, from one month old and upwards, shalt thou number them.
16 Saka Mozisi akavaverenga. Sezvaakanga arayirwa neshoko raJehovha.
So then Moses numbered them according to the bidding of Yahweh, —as he was commanded.

And Yahweh said unto Moses: Number thou every firstborn male belonging to the sons of Israel, from one month old and upwards, —and reckon up the number of their names;

then shalt thou take the Levites for me, me Yahweh, instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, —also the cattle of the Levites, instead of every firstling among the cattle of the sons of Israel.
42 Saka Mozisi akaverenga matangwe ose avaIsraeri, sezvaakarayirwa naJehovha.

44 Jehovha akatizve kuna Mozisi,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: —
45 “Tora vaRevhi pachinzvimbo chamatangwe ose eIsraeri, uye zvipfuwo zvavaRevhi pachinzvimbo chezvipfuwo zvavo. VaRevhi vanofanira kuva vangu. Ndini Jehovha.
Take the Levites, instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, instead of their cattle, —so shall the Levites belong unto me, me Yahweh;
46 Kuti udzikinure mazana maviri namakumi manomwe navatatu vamatangwe avaIsraeri,
and as the ransom of the two hundred and seventy-three, —who are more than the Levites, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel,

and shalt give the silver to Aaron and to his sons, —as the ransom of them that are in excess over them.
49 Saka Mozisi akatora mari yedzikinuro kubva kuna vakanga vapfuurira uwandu hwavaya vakanga vadzikinurwa navaRevhi.
So Moses took the redemption silver from them who were in excess over them who were redeemed by the Levites:
50 Kubva kumatangwe eIsraeri akatora sirivha yairema chiuru chimwe, namazana matatu namakumi matanhatu namashanu amashekeri, maererano neshekeri renzvimbo tsvene.
from the firstborn of the sons of Israel, took he the silver, —a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary,
