Ekisodho 16:4-20

Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mosesi, “Tarira, ndichakunisirai chingwa chinobva kudenga; vanhu vachafanira kubuda kundozviunganidzira chiyero chinoringana nezuva rimwe nerimwe, ndivaidze ndione kana vachida kuteerera murayiro wangu, kana kwete. Zvino nomusi wetanhatu kana vogadzira izvo zvavauya nazvo, zvichaita zviyero zviviri kana vachienzanisa nechiyero chavanosiunganidza zuva rimwe nerimwe.” Zvino Mosesi naAroni vakati kuvana vaIsiraeri vose, “Madekwana muchaziva kuti Jehovha ndiye akakubudisai panyika yeIjipiti. Fume mangwana muchaona kubwinya kwaJehovha, nokuti iye akanzwa kupopota kwamakapopotera Jehovha nako; isu tisu vanaaniko, zvamunotipopotera isu?” Mosesi akati, “Muchaona izvozvo kana Jehovha achikupai nyama madekwana, mukaidya, namangwana kana achikupai zvingwa, mukaguta; nokuti Jehovha akanzwa kupopota kwenyu kwamakamupopotera nako; isu tisu vanaaniko zvamunotipopotera isu? Hamutipopoteri isu, asi Jehovha.” Mosesi akati kuna Aroni, “Udza ungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, uti, ‘Swederai pamberi paJehovha, nokuti akanzwa kupopota kwenyu.’ ” Zvino Aroni akati achataura neungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, ivo vakaona kubwinya kwaJehovha kuchiratidzwa mugore. Jehovha akataura naMosesi, akati, “Ndanzwa kupopota kwavana vaIsiraeri; taura navo uti, ‘Madekwana muchadya nyama, fume mangwana muchaguta zvingwa;’ zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, Mwari wenyu.” Zvino madekwana zvihuta zvikakwira, zvikafukidza misasa; fume mangwana dova rakanga rakapoteredza misasa. Zvino dova rakanga riri pasi rikati radzimuka, vakaona zvinhu zviduku zvakaurungana zvakanga zviri pasi murenje, zviduku sechando pavhu. Vana vaIsiraeri vakati vachizviona vakabvunzana, vachiti, “Chinyiko?” Nokuti vakanga vasingazvizivi. Mosesi akati kwavari, “Ndicho chingwa chamapiwa naJehovha kuti mudye. Zvino heri shoko rakarairwa naJehovha, ‘Musaunganidzire chinhu icho, mumwe nomumwe sezvaanosidya; munhu mumwe nomumwe omeri imwe, muchiverenga vanhu venyu, mumwe nomumwe atorere vari mutende rake.’ ” Vana vaIsiraeri vakaita saizvozvo, vamwe vakaunganidza zvizhinji, vamwe zvishoma. Zvino vakati vozviidza neomeri, uyo akanga aunganidza zvizhinji haana kusarirwa nechinhu, naiye akanga aunganidza zvishoma haana kushaiwa; mumwe nomumwe akanga aunganidza sezvaaisidya. Mosesi akati kwavari, “Kurege kuva nomunhu anosiya zvimwe kusvikira mangwana.” Asi havana kuteerera Mosesi, asi vamwe vakasiya zvimwe kusvikira mangwana; zvikazara honye, zvikanhuwa; Mosesi akavatsamwira.
