Ukugidingwa komnyanya wePhasika erhalawumbeni
1USomnini wakhuluma noMosi erhalawumbeni leSinayi ngenyanga yokuthoma yomnyaka wesibili emva kokuphuma kwama-Israyeli enarheni yeGibhide wathi: 2“Yenza ama-Israyeli bona agidinge umnyanya wePhasika ngesikhathi esibekiweko salo. 3Kufuze libe ngelanga letjhumi nane enyangeni le, kube ngamarhwaqela ngesikhathi esibekiweko. Ligidingeni ngokuya ngazo zoke iimiso zalo nemithethwalo yoke.”
4UMosi wawatjela njalo-ke ama-Israyeli ngokugidingwa kwePhasika. 5Mbala kwathi ngenyanga yokuthoma mhlana zilitjhumi nane, ama-Israyeli agidinga iPhasika ngamarhwaqela erhalawumbeni leSinayi. Ama-Israyeli enza koke kwaba njengendlela uSomnini ayala ngayo uMosi.
6Kodwana bekukhona amadoda asilapheleko ngebanga lokobana gade athinte isidumbu somuntu. Ngalokho wona akhange aphumelele ukugidinga iPhasika, yeke mhlokho aziveza phambi kwakaMosi no-Aroni, 7athi kibo: “Nasinje, sibe ngabasilapheleko ngebanga lokuthinta isidumbu somuntu. Alo, singakhandelwa yini bona sinikele umnikelo kaSomnini ngesikhathi sawo esijanyisiweko phakathi kwama-Israyeli na?”
8UMosi wathi kiwo: “Lindani khengiyokwizwa bona uSomnini uzokuyala athini ngani.”
9USomnini wakhuluma noMosi wathi 10akakhulume nama-Israyeli athi: “Nangabe omunye wenu namkha weenzukulwana zenu usekhambeni kude namkha usilaphele ngebanga lokuthinta isidumbu, kodwana ufuna ukugidinga iPhasika lakaSomnini, 11kufuze aligidinge ngamarhwaqela mhlana inyanga yesibili inamalanga alitjhumi nane. Alidle ngesikwa esinganangumelo neenrhabelo ezibabako. 12Angatjhiyi litho lalo begodu angephuli ithambo lakhona. Agidinge iPhasika kulandelwe zoke iimiso zalo. 13Kodwana nangabe umuntu ohlambulukileko begodu ongekho ekhambeni wala ukugidinga iPhasika, uzakujutjwa ebantwini bekhabo ngombana akakanikeli umnikelwakhe ngesikhathi sawo kuSomnini. Kwamambala umuntu loyo uzazizwa ngesono sakheso.
14“Nangabe kunesikhonzi phakathi kwenu esithanda ukugidinga iPhasika, asiligidinge ngokweemiso nemithethwalo. Nibe nesimiso sinye esikhonzini namkha emuntwini wendabuko kwa-Israyeli.”
Ilifu elembese ithaberinakeli
15Kwathi mhlana kujanyiswa ithaberinakeli, ilifu lembesa ithaberinakelelo, okulitende lobufakazi. Nakuhlwako bekuyokusa ilifelo belibonakala linjengekehla yomlilo ngehla kwethaberinakeli. 16Bekunjalo-ke ngaso soke isikhathi: Emini belembeswa lilifu, kuthi ebusuku ilifelo libonakale linjengekehla yomlilo. 17Bekuthi lokha ilifu naliphakamako, ama-Israyeli afuduke, kuthi lokha ilifu nalijamako, ama-Israyeli ahlome amatendawo lapho. 18Ama-Israyeli bekafuduka ngomyalo kaSomnini begodu ahlome amatendawo ngomyalwakhe. Ngesikhathi soke ilifu nalisajame ngehla kwetende, ama-Israyeli gade angasuki. 19Ngitjho nanyana ilifu belingajama amalanga amanengi ngehla kwethaberinakeli, ama-Israyeli gade agcina umyalo kaSomnini, angasuki. 20Kwesinye isikhathi ilifu belijama amalangana ngehla kwethaberinakeli, nanyana kunjalo ama-Israyeli bekahlala ekampeni. Bekakhamba kwaphela ngomyalo kaSomnini. 21Kwesinye isikhathi ilifu belijama ukusuka ntambama bekube sekuseni. Bese kuthi lokha ilifu nalikhuphukako ekuseni, nawo afuduke. Ngitjho nanyana ilifelo belingahlala ubusuku nemini, naliphakamako nawo bekakhamba. 22Nangabe malanga amabili, inyanga namkha isikhathi eside ilifu lijamile, ama-Israyeli nawo gade angasuki ekampenapho. Kodwana bekasuka kwaphela ilifu naliphakamako. 23Bekahloma amatendawo namkha asuke kwaphela ngomyalo kaSomnini. Alalela iimiso zakaSomnini ayala uMosi ngazo.
