UNumeri 11 Abakwa-Israyeli bayakhonona eThabehera

¹ Uma abantu bekhononda, kwakungalungile emehlweni kaJehova, uJehova wakuzwa; intukuthelo yakhe yavutha; umlilo kaJehova wavutha phakathi kwabo, wabaqeda ababesemikhawulweni yekamu.

² Abantu bambiza uMose; lapho uMose ekhuleka kuJehova, umlilo wacisha.

³ Wabiza indawo ngokuthi iThabera, ngokuba umlilo weNkosi wavutha phakathi kwabo.

⁴ Isixuku esasiphakathi kwabo salamba, nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphinda bakhala, bathi: “Ngubani ozosinika inyama ukuba sidle na?”

⁵ Sicabanga ngezinhlanzi esazidla eGibithe ngesihle; ukhukhamba, namakhabe, namalikhi, no-anyanisi, nesweli;

⁶ Kepha manje umphefumulo wethu ubunile; akukho lutho ngaphandle kwaleli mana phambi kwamehlo ethu.

⁷ Imana lalinjengembewu yekoriyanderi, nombala walo unjengombala webhedolaki.

⁸ Abantu babehamba bakubuthe, bakugaye etsheni, noma bakugaye odakeni, bakubhake ngamapani, benze amaqebelengwane ngakho; ukunambitheka kwakho kwakunjengokunambitha kwamafutha amasha.

⁹ Lapho amazolo ewela embhedeni ebusuku, imana lawa phezu kwawo.

¹⁰ UMose wezwa abantu bekhala ngemindeni yabo, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngasemnyango wetende lakhe; ulaka lweNkosi lwavutha kakhulu; UMose naye akazange ajabule.

¹¹ UMozisi wasesithi eNkosini: Uyicindezeleleni inceku yakho? Angifumananga ngani umusa emehlweni akho ukuba ubeke umthwalo walesi sizwe phezu kwami na?

¹² Ngabe ngibamukele bonke laba bantu? Ngabe ngabazala, ukuze uthi kimi: Bathwale esifubeni sakho, njengomondli ethwala umntwana, ubayise ezweni owalithembisa oyise ngesifungo na?

¹³ Ngizakutholaphi inyama yokupha bonke lababantu? ngokuba bakhala kimi, bathi: ‘Siphe ukudla, sidle.’

¹⁴ Anginakuthwala bonke laba bantu ngedwa, ngokuba kuyasinda kimi.

¹⁵ Uma ningenza kanjalo, ngibulaleni, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni enu; futhi mangingaluboni usizi lwami.

¹⁶ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ngibuthele amadoda angamatshumi ayisikhombisa kubadala bakoIsrayeli, owaziyo ukuthi bangabadala babantu lezinduna zabo; uwalethe etendeni lokuhlangana, ukuze ame khona nawe.

¹⁷ Ngiyakwehla, ngikhulume nawe khona; ngiyakuthatha okukaMoya ophezu kwakho, ngikubeke phezu kwazo; futhi bayothwala umthwalo wabantu kanye nawe, ukuze ungawuthwali wedwa.

¹⁸ Uzakuthi ebantwini: Zingcweliseni kusasa, lizakudla inyama; ngoba nakhala phambi kukaJehova, lathi: Ngubani ozasipha inyama sidle? ngoba kwakusihambela kuhle eGibhithe; ngalokho uJehova uyakuninika inyama, nidle.

¹⁹ Aniyikudla usuku olulodwa noma izinsuku ezimbili noma ezinhlanu noma izinsuku eziyishumi noma izinsuku ezingamashumi amabili;

²⁰ Kodwa inyanga yonke, ize iphume emakhaleni enu, ibe yisinengiso kini, ngoba layidelela iNkosi ephakathi kwenu, lakhala phambi kwayo, lathi: Saphumelani eGibhithe?

²¹ Wathi uMose: “Abantu engiphakathi kwabo bayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha abahamba ngezinyawo; wathi: Ngizabanika inyama, ukuze badle inyanga yonke.

²² Umhlambi wezimvu lezifuyo uzahlatshelwa bona ubanele yini? Noma bayobuthwa zonke izinhlanzi zolwandle ukuze zibanele?

²³ INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Isandla seNkosi sifitshane yini? manje uzobona ukuthi izwi lami lizakuza kuwe noma qha.

²⁴ UMose waphuma, wakhuluma amazwi kaJehova kubantu, wabutha amadoda angamashumi ayisikhombisa amalunga abantu, ahlala ezungeza itabernakele.

²⁵ INkosi yehla ngefu, yakhuluma kuye, yathatha okoMoya ophezu kwakhe, yakunika amalunga angamashumi ayisikhombisa; lapho uMoya uhlezi phezu kwabo, baprofetha, kodwa abazange bayeke.

²⁶ Kwasala amadoda amabili ekamu, igama lenye lalingu-Elidadi, igama lenye lalinguMedadi; umoya wahlala phezu kwabo; bangababala, kepha babengaphumi ukuya etabernakele; baprofetha ekamu.

²⁷ Kwasekugijima ijaha, lamtshela uMozisi, lathi: OElidadi loMedadi baprofetha enkambeni.

²⁸ UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, inceku kaMose, omunye wezinsizwa zakhe, waphendula wathi: “Nkosi yami, Mose, banqabele.”

²⁹ UMozisi wasesithi kuye: Ulobukhwele ngenxa yami yini? Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angabapha bonke abantu beNkosi babe ngabaprofethi, futhi uJehova abeke uMoya wakhe phezu kwabo!

³⁰ UMose wamngenisa ekamu, yena namalunga akwa-Israyeli.

³¹ Kwasekuphuma umoya ovela eNkosini, waletha izagwaca ezivela elwandle, zawela enkambeni, njengohambo losuku ngapha langapha, ikamu inkamba, lanjengohambo losuku ngalapha. Ukuphakama kwawo kwakuyizingalo ezimbili ebusweni bomhlaba.

³² Abantu bavuka ngalolo suku lonke nobusuku bonke, nalo lonke usuku olulandelayo, babutha izigwaca; owabutha okuncane wabutha amahomere ayishumi, bawabela ngasekamu nxazonke.

³³ Inyama isaphakathi kwamazinyo abo, ingakahlafunwa, intukuthelo kaJehova yavuthela abantu, uJehova wabashaya abantu ngokushaywa okukhulu kakhulu.

³⁴ Wabiza leyondawo ngokuthi iKibrothathava, ngokuba bambela khona izinkanuko.

³⁵ Abantu basuka eKibroti-Hathava baya eHaseroti; wahlala eHaseroti.
