UNumeri 31 AbakwaMidiyani bayanqotshwa

¹ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

² Phindiselani abantwana bakwa-Israyeli kumaMidiyani; emva kwalokho uyobuthelwa kubantu bakini.

³ UMose wakhuluma kubantu, wathi: “Hlomelani impi abanye benu, bahambe bahlasele abakwaMidiyani, baphindisele uJehova wakwaMidiyani.”

⁴ Kumelwe nithumele impi kuzo zonke izizwe zakwa-Israyeli inkulungwane esizweni ngasinye.

⁵ Ezinkulungwaneni zakwa-Israyeli kwakhishwa inkulungwane esizweni, izinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili zihlomele impi.

⁶ UMose wabathuma empini, inkulungwane esizweni, bona noFinehasi indodana ka-Eleyazare umpristi, baye empini, bephethe izinto ezingcwele namacilongo okubethwa esandleni sakhe.

⁷ Balwa nabakwaMidiyani, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose; babulala bonke abesilisa.

⁸ Babulala amakhosi akwaMidiyani, ngaphandle kwabaseleyo kwababuleweyo; okungukuthi u-Ewi, noRekemi, noSuri, noHure, noReba, amakhosi ayisihlanu akwaMidiyani; UBileyamu indodana kaBeyori naye wababulala ngenkemba.

⁹ Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathumba bonke abesifazane bakwaMidiyani nabantwana babo, bathumba zonke izinkomo zabo, nayo yonke imihlambi yabo, nayo yonke impahla yabo.

¹⁰ Bayishisa yonke imizi yabo ababehlala kuyo, nezinqaba zabo zonke ezinhle ngomlilo.

¹¹ Athatha yonke impango nayo yonke impango yabantu neyezilwane.

¹² Baletha abathunjwa, nempango, nempango kuMose, naku-Eleyazare umpristi, nasenhlanganweni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ekamu emathafeni akwaMowabi ngaseJordani ngaseJeriko.

¹³ OMose no-Eleyazare umpristi nazo zonke izikhulu zenhlangano baphuma ukubahlangabeza ngaphandle kwekamu.

¹⁴ UMose wazithukuthelela izinduna zempi nezinduna zezinkulungwane nezinduna zamakhulu ezazivela empini.

¹⁵ Wayesethi uMose kubo: “Nibaphilise bonke abesifazane na?

¹⁶ Bheka, kwenza abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphambuka kuJehova endabeni yasePeyori ngesiluleko sikaBileyamu, kwaba khona isifo phakathi kwebandla leNkosi.

¹⁷ Manje bulalani bonke abesilisa phakathi kwabantwana, nibulale wonke owesifazane owazi indoda ngokulala nayo.

¹⁸ Kepha bonke abantwana babesifazane abangayazi indoda ngokulala nayo, zigcineni niphila.

¹⁹ Njalo lizahlala ngaphandle kwenkamba insuku eziyisikhombisa: wonke owabulala umuntu laye wonke othinte ohlutshiweyo, lizazihlambulula ngosuku lwesithathu langosuku lwesikhombisa, lina lezibotshwa zenu.

²⁰ Uhlanze zonke izingubo zakho, nakho konke okwenziwe ngezikhumba, nakho konke okwenziwe ngoboya bembuzi, nakho konke okwenziwa ngokhuni.

²¹ Umpristi u-Eleyazare wayesethi emabuthweni ayephuma impi: “Nakhu ukuqina komthetho uJehova ayala ngawo uMose;

²² kuphela igolide, nesiliva, nethusi, nensimbi, nethini, nomthofu,

²³ Konke okungabekezelela umlilo niyakukudabula emlilweni, kuhlambuluke; nokho kufanele ihlanzwe ngamanzi okuhlukanisa; futhi bonke labo abangakwazi ukuthwala umlilo, kumelwe nidabule emanzini.

²⁴ Kumelwe nihlanze izingubo zenu ngosuku lwesikhombisa, niyohlambuluka, ngemva kwalokho ningene ekamu.

²⁵ UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:

²⁶ Bala inani lempango eyathunjwayo, eyabantu neyezilwane, wena no-Eleyazare umpristi nezinhloko zomndeni wenhlangano.

²⁷ Futhi uhlukanise impango izingxenye ezimbili; phakathi kwalabo abaphuma impi, phakathi kwebandla lonke.

²⁸ Niyakuthathela uJehova intela emaqhaweni aphuma impi: umphefumulo oyedwa kwabangamakhulu ayisihlanu, kubantu, nakuzo izinkomo, nakuzo izimbongolo, nakuzo izimvu;

²⁹ Thatha inxenye yazo uyinike u-Eleyazare umpristi ibe ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa ovela kuJehova.

³⁰ Enxenyeni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli uyakuthatha enye emashumini ayisihlanu, kubantu, nakuzo izinkomo, nakuzo izimbongolo, nasemhlambini wezimvu, kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezilwane, ukunike amaLevi agcina imihlambi isevisi. Wetabernakele leNkosi.

³¹ OMose no-Eleyazare umpristi benza-ke njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

³² Impango eyayisele impango amadoda empi ayibambayo yayiyizimvu eziyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha namashumi ayisikhombisa nanhlanu;

³³ nezinkomo eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisithupha nambili,

³⁴ nezimbongolo eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisithupha nanye,

³⁵ futhi kubo bonke abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nambili kwabesifazane abangayazi indoda ngokulala nayo.

³⁶ Ingxenye, eyayiyisabelo sabaphuma impi, ngenani, yayiyizimvu eziyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa namakhulu amahlanu;

³⁷ Intela kaJehova ezimvini yayingamakhulu ayisithupha namashumi ayisithupha nanhlanu.

³⁸ Izinkomo zaziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nesithupha; kuzo intela yeNkosi yayingamashumi ayisithupha neshumi nambili.

³⁹ Izimbongolo yizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu namakhulu amahlanu; kuzo intela kaJehova yayingamashumi ayisithupha nanye.

⁴⁰ Abantu babe yizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesithupha; kuzo intela kaJehova yayingabantu abangamashumi amathathu nambili.

⁴¹ UMose wayinika u-Eleyazare umpristi intela, eyayingumnikelo weNkosi, njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

⁴² Engxenyeni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli uMose ayihlukanisa namadoda empi,

⁴³ Ingxenye yebandla yayiyizimvu eziyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu namashumi amathathu nesikhombisa namakhulu amahlanu,

⁴⁴ nezinkomo eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu nesithupha,

⁴⁵ izimbongolo eziyizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu namakhulu amahlanu,

⁴⁶ Futhi abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesithupha;

⁴⁷ Enxenyeni yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli uMose wathatha enye emashumini ayisihlanu, kubantu nasezilwaneni, wayinika amaLevi agcina inkonzo yetende likaJehova; njengalokho uJehova emyalile uMose.

⁴⁸ Izinduna zezinkulungwane zebutho, izinduna zezinkulungwane lezinduna zamakhulu zasondela kuMozisi.

⁴⁹ Base bethi kuMose: “Izinceku zakho zibalile amadoda empi ayephansi kwesandla sethu, akwasilelanga neyodwa kithi.”

⁵⁰ Ngakho saletha umnikelo womlilo kuJehova abawutholayo, kwaba yilowo nalowo, izinto zegolide, namaketanga, namasongo, namasongo, namacici, nezibhebhe, ukwenzela imiphefumulo yethu ukubuyisana phambi kukaJehova.

⁵¹ OMose no-Eleyazare umpristi bathatha kubo igolide, yonke impahla eyenziwe.

⁵² Lonke igolide lomnikelo abawuletha kuJehova, lezikhulu zenkulungwane nelezinduna zekhulu, lalingamashekeli ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesithupha namakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi ayisihlanu.

⁵³ (Ngokuba amadoda empi athatha impango, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngeyakhe.)

⁵⁴ OMose no-Eleyazare umpristi bathatha igolide lezinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu, balingenisa etendeni lokuhlangana ukuba bakhumbule abantwana bakwa-Israyeli phambi kukaJehova.
