Numeri 16
1uKore, unyana kaItsare, unyana kaKehati, unyana kaLevi, noDatan, noAbhiram, oonyana bakaEliyabhi, no-On unyana kaPelete, oonyana bakaRubhen. 2Bema phambi koMoses, ndawonye nabanye boonyana bakaSirayeli, iinkosana zebandla ezingamakhulu amabini anamashumi amahlanu, ezaziwayo ebandleni, nezazidumileyo; 3Bababiza uMoses noAron, bathi kubo, Nisenanele nina, ngokuba lingcwele lonke ibandla, elowo kubo; uYehova uphakathi kwabo; niziphakamisile ngoko ebandleni likaYehova? 4Akuyiva uMoses loo nto, wawa ngobuso. 5Wathetha kuKore nakwingxokolo yakhe yonke, esithi, Ngomso uYehova uya kumazisa ongcwele; wasondela kuye; lowo amnyulileyo uya kumsondeza kuye. 6Yenzani; zithabatheni iingcedevu, wena Kora nebandla lakhe lonke; 7Galela umlilo kuyo uze ugalele nesiqhumiso kuso phambi koYehova, yaye umntu athe uYehova wamnyula woba ngcwele; nidla kakhulu, nyana bakaLevi. 8Wathi uMoses kuKora: “Phulaphulani, nina bonyana bakaLevi! 9Yinto encinane na kuni, ukuba uThixo kaSirayeli aninyule phakathi kwebandla lakwaSirayeli, ukuba anisondeze kuye, nisebenze umsebenzi womnquba kaYehova, nime phambi kwebandla, nilungiselele? 10wakuthabatha, wena nabazalwana bakho bonke, oonyana bakaLevi, ndawonye nawe; ningaba nifuna nobubingeleli na? 11Yini na ukuba nihlanganisene kuYehova wena nesihlwele sakho sonke, yaye uyintoni na uAron ukuba ummbombozelele? 12Wathumela uMoses, wabiza uDatan noAbhiram, oonyana bakaEliyabhi bathi, Asiyi kunyuka sinyuke. 13Yinto encinane na le yokuba usikhuphe ezweni elivelisa amasi nobusi, uze kusibulala apha entlango, ukuba akuzenzanga ukumkani wethu kanye? 14Kananjalo akusingenisanga ezweni elibaleka amasi nobusi, akusinikanga lifa lamasimi nezidiliya; Uya kuwakrazula na amehlo aba bantu? asiyi kunyuka. 15Wavutha kakhulu ngumsindo uMoses, wathi kuYehova: “Musa ukuyiphulaphula imibingelelo yabo; 16Wathi uMoses kuKora, Wena nengxokolo yakho yonke, noba phambi koYehova, wena nabo, noAron. 17Makathabathe elowo isitya sakhe somlilo, agalele kuso isiqhumiso, asondeze elowo isitya sakhe somlilo phambi koYehova, elowo abe neengcedevu zakhe ezimakhulu mabini anamanci mahlanu; wena noAron elowo epanini yakhe. 18Wathabatha elowo ugcedevu lwakhe, wabeka umlilo kuso, wagalela isiqhumiso phezu kwaso, wema noMoses noAron emnyango wentente yokuhlangana. 19uKora walibizela ndawonye ngabo ibandla lonke emnyango wentente yokuhlangana, babonakala ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova kwibandla lonke. 20Wathetha uYehova kuMoses nakuAron, esithi, 21Zahluleni kweli bandla, ukuze ndiliphelise kwaoko. 22Bawa ngobuso, bathi, Camagu, Thixo, Thixo wemiphefumlo yenyama yonke, ùnokona na umntu omnye, unoburhalarhume kwibandla lonke na? 23Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi: 24Uze uthethe kwibandla, uthi, Sukani nize ngeenxa zonke emnqubeni kaKora noDatan noAbhiram. 25Wemka uMoses, waya kuDatan noAbhiram; amlandela amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli. 26Wathetha nebandla, wathi, Phumani ezintenteni zala madoda angendawo, ningachukumisi nto iyeyawo, hleze nitshabalale ezonweni zawo zonke. 27Benyuka bemka emnqubeni kaKora noDatan noAbhiram, bajikelezisa; baphuma ooDatan noAbhiram, bema emnyango weentente zabo, nabafazi babo, noonyana babo, nabantwana babo. 28Wathi uMoses, Niya kwazi ngale nto, ukuba uYehova undithumele ukwenza yonke le misebenzi; kuba andenzanga ngokuthanda kwam. 29Ukuba aba bathe bafa ngokufa kwabantu bonke, nokuba bathe bathweswa isohlwayo sabantu bonke; uYehova akandithumanga. 30Ke ukuba uYehova uthe wenza into entsha, umhlaba wavula umlomo wawo, wabaginya, nento yonke abanayo, behla baye emhadini behleli; uya kwandula uqonde ukuba kutheni la madoda ehlekisa ngawo uYehova. 31Akugqiba ukuwathetha onke la mazwi, waqhekeka umhlaba obuphantsi kwabo. 32Ngoko umhlaba wawuvula umlomo wawo waza wabaginya bona nezindlu zabo nabo bonke abantu bakaKora nempahla yabo yonke. 33Behla bona besaphilile, nento yonke ababenayo, baya emhadini, umhlaba wabavala, batshabalala phakathi kwebandla. 34Onke oonyana bakaSirayeli ababebalindile ngaphakathi basaba ngenxa yokukhala kwabo; ngokuba babesithi, Hleze usiginye umhlaba. 35Kwandula ke kwaphuma umlilo ovela kuYehova waza watshisa amadoda angamakhulu amabini anamashumi amahlanu awayezisa isiqhumiso. 36Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi: 37Thetha kuElazare, unyana ka-Aron, umbingeleli, ukuba azithabathe iingcedevu zomlilo ovuthayo, awubeke khona umlilo; ngokuba bathenjisiwe. 38Neengcedevu zabo bonayo ngakwimiphefumlo yabo, zozenza zibe ziipleyiti zokwaleka isibingelelo; ngokuba ayexhelele khona phambi koYehova, zangcwaliswa; ibe ngumqondiso koonyana bakaSirayeli. 39Wazithabatha ke umbingeleli uElazare izitya zesiqhumiso zobhedu, ababetshiswe ngazo; neepanele ezibanzi zesibingelelo. 40Yaba sisikhumbuzo koonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuba kungabikho mntu wasemzini, ongoonyana baka-Aron, osondela ukuba aqhumisele ngesiqhumiso phambi koYehova; ukuze angabi njengoKora nakwinkoliso yabantu bakhe, njengoko uYehova wathethayo kuye ngoMoses. 41Labakrokrela ooMoses noAron ngengomso lonke ibandla loonyana bakaSirayeli, lisithi, Nina nibabulele abantu bakaYehova. 42Lababizela ndawonye ibandla uMoses noAron, bakhangela ententeni yokuhlangana; nalo ilifu liyisibekele, babonakala ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova. 43Beza ooMoses noAron phambi kwentente yokuhlangana. 44Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi: 45Suka kweli bandla, ndilitshabalalise kamsinya; Bawa ngobuso. 46Wathi uMoses kuAron: “Thabatha ugcedevu uze ugalele umlilo ovela esibingelelweni phezu kwaso, ugalele nesiqhumiso phezu kwaso, uye ngokukhawuleza uye ebandleni, usicamagushele, ngenxa yokuba kuphume umsindo kaYehova; isibetho siqalile. 47Wathabatha uAron njengoko uMoses wamwisela umthetho, wabaleka phakathi kwebandla; nanko ke, uqalile ukwahlukana phakathi kwabantu, wabavuthulula inkunkuma abantu; 48Wema phakathi kwabafileyo nabahleliyo; sathintelwa isibetho. 49Abo bafayo sisibetho baba lishumi elinesine lamawaka anamakhulu asixhenxe, ngaphandle kwabafayo ngenxa kaKora. 50Wabuyela uAron kuMoses emnyango wentente yokuhlangana;
