Abakwa-Israyeli bayakhonona eThabehera
1Uma abantu bekhononda, kwakungalungile emehlweni kaJehova, uJehova wakuzwa; intukuthelo yakhe yavutha; umlilo kaJehova wavutha phakathi kwabo, wabaqeda ababesemikhawulweni yekamu.
2Abantu bambiza uMose; lapho uMose ekhuleka kuJehova, umlilo wacisha.
3Wabiza indawo ngokuthi iThabera, ngokuba umlilo weNkosi wavutha phakathi kwabo.
4Isixuku esasiphakathi kwabo salamba, nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphinda bakhala, bathi: “Ngubani ozosinika inyama ukuba sidle na?”
5Sicabanga ngezinhlanzi esazidla eGibithe ngesihle; ukhukhamba, namakhabe, namalikhi, no-anyanisi, nesweli;
6Kepha manje umphefumulo wethu ubunile; akukho lutho ngaphandle kwaleli mana phambi kwamehlo ethu.
7Imana lalinjengembewu yekoriyanderi, nombala walo unjengombala webhedolaki.
8Abantu babehamba bakubuthe, bakugaye etsheni, noma bakugaye odakeni, bakubhake ngamapani, benze amaqebelengwane ngakho; ukunambitheka kwakho kwakunjengokunambitha kwamafutha amasha.
9Lapho amazolo ewela embhedeni ebusuku, imana lawa phezu kwawo.
10UMose wezwa abantu bekhala ngemindeni yabo, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngasemnyango wetende lakhe; ulaka lweNkosi lwavutha kakhulu; UMose naye akazange ajabule.
11UMozisi wasesithi eNkosini: Uyicindezeleleni inceku yakho? Angifumananga ngani umusa emehlweni akho ukuba ubeke umthwalo walesi sizwe phezu kwami na?
12Ngabe ngibamukele bonke laba bantu? Ngabe ngabazala, ukuze uthi kimi: Bathwale esifubeni sakho, njengomondli ethwala umntwana, ubayise ezweni owalithembisa oyise ngesifungo na?
13Ngizakutholaphi inyama yokupha bonke lababantu? ngokuba bakhala kimi, bathi: ‘Siphe ukudla, sidle.’
14Anginakuthwala bonke laba bantu ngedwa, ngokuba kuyasinda kimi.
15Uma ningenza kanjalo, ngibulaleni, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni enu; futhi mangingaluboni usizi lwami.
16INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngibuthele amadoda angamatshumi ayisikhombisa kubadala bakoIsrayeli, owaziyo ukuthi bangabadala babantu lezinduna zabo; uwalethe etendeni lokuhlangana, ukuze ame khona nawe.
17Ngiyakwehla, ngikhulume nawe khona; ngiyakuthatha okukaMoya ophezu kwakho, ngikubeke phezu kwazo; futhi bayothwala umthwalo wabantu kanye nawe, ukuze ungawuthwali wedwa.
18Uzakuthi ebantwini: Zingcweliseni kusasa, lizakudla inyama; ngoba nakhala phambi kukaJehova, lathi: Ngubani ozasipha inyama sidle? ngoba kwakusihambela kuhle eGibhithe; ngalokho uJehova uyakuninika inyama, nidle.
19Aniyikudla usuku olulodwa noma izinsuku ezimbili noma ezinhlanu noma izinsuku eziyishumi noma izinsuku ezingamashumi amabili;
20Kodwa inyanga yonke, ize iphume emakhaleni enu, ibe yisinengiso kini, ngoba layidelela iNkosi ephakathi kwenu, lakhala phambi kwayo, lathi: Saphumelani eGibhithe?
21Wathi uMose: “Abantu engiphakathi kwabo bayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha abahamba ngezinyawo; wathi: Ngizabanika inyama, ukuze badle inyanga yonke.
22Umhlambi wezimvu lezifuyo uzahlatshelwa bona ubanele yini? Noma bayobuthwa zonke izinhlanzi zolwandle ukuze zibanele?
23INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Isandla seNkosi sifitshane yini? manje uzobona ukuthi izwi lami lizakuza kuwe noma qha.
24UMose waphuma, wakhuluma amazwi kaJehova kubantu, wabutha amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga abantu, ahlala ezungeza itabernakele.
25INkosi yehla ngefu, yakhuluma kuye, yathatha okoMoya ophezu kwakhe, yakunika amalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa; lapho uMoya uhlezi phezu kwabo, baprofetha, kodwa abazange bayeke.
26Kwasala amadoda amabili ekamu, igama lenye lalingu-Elidadi, igama lenye lalinguMedadi; umoya wahlala phezu kwabo; bangababala, kepha babengaphumi ukuya etabernakele; baprofetha ekamu.
27Kwasekugijima ijaha, lamtshela uMozisi, lathi: OElidadi loMedadi baprofetha enkambeni.
28UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, inceku kaMose, omunye wezinsizwa zakhe, waphendula wathi: “Nkosi yami, Mose, banqabele.”
29UMozisi wasesithi kuye: Ulobukhwele ngenxa yami yini? Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angabapha bonke abantu beNkosi babe ngabaprofethi, futhi uJehova abeke uMoya wakhe phezu kwabo!
30UMose wamngenisa ekamu, yena namalunga akwa-Israyeli.
31Kwasekuphuma umoya ovela eNkosini, waletha izagwaca ezivela elwandle, zawela enkambeni, njengohambo losuku ngapha langapha, ikamu inkamba, lanjengohambo losuku ngalapha. Ukuphakama kwawo kwakuyizingalo ezimbili ebusweni bomhlaba.
32Abantu bavuka ngalolo suku lonke nobusuku bonke, nalo lonke usuku olulandelayo, babutha izigwaca; owabutha okuncane wabutha amahomere ayishumi, bawabela ngasekamu nxazonke.
33Inyama isaphakathi kwamazinyo abo, ingakahlafunwa, intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela abantu, uJehova wabashaya abantu ngokushaywa okukhulu kakhulu.
34Wabiza leyondawo ngokuthi iKibrothathava, ngokuba bambela khona izinkanuko.
35Abantu basuka eKibroti-Hathava baya eHaseroti; wahlala eHaseroti.
