Sakhupha amanzi kweli litye na? 11Wasiphakamisa uMoses isandla sakhe, wayibetha ingxondorha ngentonga yakhe izihlandlo zazibini, aphuma amanzi amaninzi, lasela ibandla nemfuyo yalo. 12Wathi uYehova kuMoses nakuAron, Ekubeni ningandivumelanga ukuba ndindingcwalise phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli, aniyi kusingenisa esi sikhungu ezweni endibanika lona. 13Ngawo la amanzi aseMeribha; ngokuba bakreqa oonyana bakaSirayeli kuYehova, wazenza inqambi ngabo. 14uMoses wabuya wathuma abathunywa kukumkani wakwaEdom, obeseKadeshe, esithi, mzalwana, Sirayeli, uyazazi wena zonke iimbandezelo ezisihleleyo. 15Behla oobawo, baya eYiputa, sahlala eYiputa imihla emininzi; asicaphukisa amaYiputa, thina noobawo. 16Sabiza kuYehova, waliva ilizwi lethu, wathuma isithunywa, sasikhupha eYiputa; yabona, siyiKadeshe, sisixeko esisekupheleni kwelizwe lakho. 17Masicande ezweni lakho, asiyi kucanda emasimini nasezidiliyani, singaseli manzi equleni; sohamba emendweni wokumkani, singatyekeli ekunene nasekhohlo, side sidlule emideni yakho. 18Wathi uEdom kuye, Musa ukuwela kum, hleze ndirhole ikrele lam, ndilwe nawe. 19Bathi oonyana bakaSirayeli kuye, Sohamba ngomendo; ukuba mna nemfuyo yam singawasela amanzi akho, ndowahlawula; Ndiya nje, ndingenzi nantoni na eyenye, ndidlule ezinyaweni zam. 20Wathi, Aniyi kudlula. Waza uEdom wamxabela ngamadoda amaninzi nangesandla esithe nkqi. 21Ngenxa yoko wala uEdom ukubavumela oonyana bakaSirayeli ukuba bacande ezweni labo; Wemka ke uSirayeli, wemka kuye. 22Banduluka eKadeshe oonyana bakaSirayeli, ibandla lonke, bafika entabeni yeHore. 23Wathetha uYehova kuMoses nakuAron entabeni yeHore, emdeni welizwe lakwaEdom, wathi, 24“uAron uya kuthatyathwa ebantwini bakowabo, ngenxa yokuba akayi kungena kwilizwe endilinike oonyana bakaSirayeli, ngenxa yokulivukela kwabo ilizwi lam emanzini aseMeribha. 25Thabatha uAron noElazare unyana wakhe, ubanyuse entabeni yeHore. 26Umhlube ke uAron iingubo zakhe, umnxibe uElazare unyana wakhe, amthabathe uAron, amse ebantwini bakowabo, afele khona. 27Wenza uMoses njengoko uYehova wamwiselayo umthetho; benyuka eNtabeni yeHore phambi kwamehlo ebandla lonke. 28uMoses wamhluba uAron iingubo zakhe, wazambathisa uElazare unyana wakhe; Wafela khona uAron encotsheni yentaba, behla uMoses noElazare entabeni. 29Lakubona lonke ibandla ukuba uAron ufile, bamlilela uAron imihla emashumi mathathu, yonke indlu kaSirayeli.
