Numeri 20 - Shona Bible 1949 revised 2002

Mvura yeMeribha

¹ Zvino vana vaIsiraeri, ungano yose, vakasvika murenje reZini nomwedzi wokutanga, vanhu vakagara paKadheshi. Miriami akafirapo, akavigwawopo.

² Ipapo pakanga pasina mvura yokunwa yeungano yose; zvino vanhu vakaunganira kuna Mosesi naAroni.

³ Vanhu vakarwa naMosesi, vakataura, vachiti, “Dai takafa hedu nguva yakafa hama dzedu pamberi paJehovha!

⁴ Makauyisireiko ungano yaJehovha murenje rino, kuti tifiremo, isu nezvipfuwo zvedu?

⁵ Makatibudisireiko muIjipiti, kuzotiisa panzvimbo iyi yakaipa? Haizi nzvimbo yembeu, kana yamaonde, kana yemizambiringa, kana yamatamba; nemvura yokunwa hapana.”

⁶ Ipapo Mosesi naAroni vakabva paungano, vakaenda kumukova wetende rokusangana, vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo; kubwinya kwaJehovha kukaratidzwa kwavari.

⁷ Zvino Jehovha akataura naMosesi, akati,

⁸ “Tora tsvimbo, uunganidze ungano, iwe naAroni mukuru wako, mutaure nedombo pamberi pavo, kuti ribudise mvura padombo, unwise ungano nezvipfuwo zvavo.”

⁹ Ipapo Mosesi akatora tsvimbo, yakanga iri pamberi paJehovha, sezvaakanga arairwa naye.

¹⁰ Mosesi naAroni vakaunganidza ungano pamberi pedombo, akati kwavari, “Zvino, chinzwai, imi vokumukira Jehovha, ko tingakubudisirai mvura padombo iri here?”

¹¹ Ipapo Mosesi akasimudza ruoko rwake, akarova dombo kaviri netsvimbo yake, mvura ikabuda zhinji‐zhinji, ungano ikanwa, nezvipfuwo zvavo.

¹² Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mosesi naAroni, “Zvamusina kutenda kwandiri, kunditsaura pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri, hamungapinzi ungano iyi munyika yandakaipa.”

¹³ Ndiyo mvura yeMeribha, nokuti vana vaIsiraeri vakarwa naJehovha, akazviratidza kwavari ari Mutsvene.

¹⁴ Zvino Mosesi akatuma nhume, dzaibva Kadheshi, kuna mambo weEdhomu, achiti, “Zvanzi nomun’una wako Isiraeri, ‘Unoziva nhamo dzose dzakatiwira;

¹⁵ kuti madzibaba edu akaburukira Ijipiti, tikagara Ijipiti nguva huru, vaIjipiti vakatiitira zvakaipa, isu namadzibaba edu;

¹⁶ zvino takati tichichema kuna Jehovha, iye akanzwa mazwi edu, akatuma mutumwa kutibudisa paIjipiti; zvino tarirai, tiri paKadheshi, paguta riri pamuganhu wenyika yako;

¹⁷ dotitendera kupfuura napanyika yako; hatingafambi napaminda, kana napaminda yemizambiringa; hatinganwi mvura yamatsime; tichafamba nenzira huru yamambo; hatingatsaukiri kurudyi kana kuruboshwe, kusvikira tabuda panyika yako.’ ”

¹⁸ Ipapo Edhomu akati kwaari, “Haungapfuuri nokwandiri, kuti ndirege kuuya kuzorwa newe nomunondo.”

¹⁹ Vana vaIsiraeri vakati kwaari, “Tichakwira nenzira huru; kana tikanwa mvura yako, ini nezvipfuwo zvangu, ndicharipa mutengo wayo; nditendere kwoga kupfuura namakumbo angu, hakuna rimwe shoko.”

²⁰ Iye akati, “Haungapfuuri.” Zvino Edhomu akauya kuzorwa naye navanhu vazhinji, noruoko rune simba.

²¹ Naizvozvo Edhomu akaramba kutendera vaIsiraeri kupfuura napanyika yake. Ipapo vaIsiraeri vakatsauka kwaari.

Kufa kwaAroni

²² Zvino vakasimuka paKadheshi, vana vaIsiraeri, iyo ungano yose, vakasvika pagomo reHori.

²³ Ipapo Jehovha akataura naMosesi naAroni pagomo reHori, pamuganhu wenyika yaEdhomu, akati,

²⁴ “Aroni uchasanganiswa navanhu vake, nokuti haangapindi munyika yandakapa vana vaIsiraeri, nokuti makaramba shoko rangu pamvura yeMeribha.

²⁵ Tora Aroni nomwanakomana wake Ereazari, ukwire navo pagomo reHori;

²⁶ zvino ubvise nguo dzake, ugodzifukidza Ereazari mwanakomana wake; ipapo Aroni achasanganiswa navanhu vake, achafirapo.”

²⁷ Mosesi akaita sezvaakarairwa naJehovha; vakakwira pagomo reHori pamberi peungano yose.

²⁸ Zvino Mosesi wakabvisa nguo dzaAroni, akadzifukidza Ereazari mwanakomana wake; Aroni akafirapo pamusoro wegomo; Mosesi naEreazari vakaburuka havo pagomo.

²⁹ Zvino ungano yose yakati ichiona kuti Aroni afa, vakachema Aroni mazuva makumi matatu, iyo imba yose yaIsiraeri.
