1UKora, indodana kaJisihari, indodana kaKohati, indodana kaLevi, noDathani no-Abiramu, amadodana ka-Eliyabe, no-Oni, indodana kaPheleti, amadodana kaRubeni, bathatha amadoda.
2Bema phambi kukaMose kanye nabanye babantwana bakwa-Israyeli, izikhulu zebandla ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, abantu abadumileyo ebandleni;
3Babuthana ngokumelene noMose no-Aroni, bathi kubo: “Zithatheleni nina, lokhu inhlangano yonke ingcwele, yilowo nalowo kubo, noJehova uphakathi kwabo; ngalokho niziphakamisa phezu kwebandla leNkosi na?
4Lapho uMose ekuzwa lokho, wawa ngobuso bakhe.
5Wakhuluma kuKora nakuso sonke isixuku sakhe, wathi: “Kusasa uJehova uyakwenza kwaziwe ukuthi ngubani ongowakhe nokuthi ngubani ongcwele; futhi makasondele kuye; futhi lowo amkhethileyo uyomenza ukuba asondele kuye.
6Kwenzeni; Zithatheleni imicengezi yomlilo, wena Kora nesixuku sakhe sonke;
7Uthele umlilo kulo, uthele impepho kuyo phambi kukaJehova, futhi umuntu uJehova amkhethayo uyakuba ngcwele; nithatha kakhulu, madodana kaLevi.
8UMozisi wasesithi kuKora: Lalelani, madodana kaLevi!
9Kuncane yini kini ukuthi uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli unahlukanisile nenhlangano yakwa-Israyeli ukuba anisondeze kuye ukuze nisebenze inkonzo yetabernakele likaJehova nokuma phambi kwebandla ukuze nikhonze?
10Wakusondeza wena nabo bonke abafowenu, amadodana kaLevi, kanye nawe; futhi nifuna futhi ubupristi?
11Kungani wena nesixuku sakho sonke nibuthanele uJehova, u-Aroni uyini ukuba nikhonone ngaye na?
12UMose wathuma wabiza oDathani no-Abiramu, amadodana ka-Eliyabe; bathi: “Asiyikukhuphuka.”
13Kuyinto encane yini ukuthi wasikhuphula ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi ukuba usibulale ehlane, uma ungazenzi ngokuphelele isikhulu phezu kwethu na?
14Futhi, awusingenisanga ezweni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi, futhi awusinikanga ifa lamasimu nelezivini; nizokhipha amehlo alaba bantu na? ngeke sikhuphuke.
15UMose wathukuthela kakhulu, wathi kuJehova: “Ungawunaki umhlatshelo wabo;
16Wayesethi uMose kuKora: “Kusasa wena nesixuku sakho sonke nibe phambi kukaJehova, wena nabo no-Aroni.
17Bathathe, kube yilowo nalowo umcengezi wakhe, bathele impepho kuwo, balethe phambi kukaJehova, kube yilowo nalowo umcengezi wakhe, imicengezi yomlilo engamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu; nawe no-Aroni, kube yilowo nalowo umcengezi wakhe.
18Bathatha, kwaba yilowo nalowo umcengezi wakhe, bafaka umlilo kuwo, babeka impepho phezu kwayo, bema noMose no-Aroni emnyango wetende lokuhlangana.
19UKora wabutha ibandla lonke ngokumelene nabo ngasemnyango wetende lokuhlangana, futhi inkazimulo yeNkosi yabonakala kuyo yonke inhlangano.
20UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku-Aroni, wathi:
21Zahlukaniseni naleli bandla, ukuze ngibaqede ngokuphazima kweso.
22Bawa ngobuso babo, bathi: “O Nkulunkulu, Nkulunkulu wemimoya yenyama yonke, kona umuntu oyedwa, uthukuthelele lonke ibandla na?”
23UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
24Khuluma kuyo inhlangano, uthi: Sukani nxazonke zetabernakele likaKora, noDathani, no-Abiramu.
25UMose wayesesuka, waya kuDathani no-Abiramu; amalunga akwa-Israyeli amlandela.
26Wakhuluma ebandleni, wathi: “Sukani ematendeni alaba bantu ababi, ningathinti lutho lwabo, funa nibhubhe ezonweni zabo zonke.”
27Base benyuka besuka etendeni likaKora, noDathani no-Abiramu nxazonke, oDathani no-Abiramu baphuma bema ngasemnyango wamatende abo, nawomkabo, namadodana abo, nabantwana babo.
28UMose wathi: “Niyakwazi ngalokhu ukuthi uJehova ungithumile ukwenza yonke le misebenzi; ngoba kangikwenzanga ngokwami.
29Uma laba bantu befa ngokufa kwabantu bonke, noma behlelwa ngokwehlela abantu bonke; uJehova kangithumanga.
30Kepha uma uJehova enza okusha, umhlaba uvule umlomo wawo, ubagwinye kanye nakho konke okwabo, behlele egodini bephila; khona nizakuqonda ukuthi lamadoda aklolodela iNkosi.
31Lapho eseqedile ukukhuluma wonke lawa mazwi, umhlabathi owawungaphansi kwabo waqhekezeka.
32Umhlaba wawuvula umlomo wawo, wabagwinya, bona nezindlu zabo, nabo bonke abantu bakaKora, nayo yonke impahla yabo.
33Bona kanye nakho konke okwabo behlela egodini bephila, umhlaba wabavala, futhi babhubha phakathi kwebandla.
34Bonke abakwa-Israyeli ababebazungeza babaleka ngokukhala kwabo, ngokuba bathi: “Funa umhlaba usigwinye nathi.”
35Kwasekuphuma umlilo ovela eNkosini, waqeda amadoda angamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu ababeletha impepha.
36UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
37Yisho ku-Eleyazare, indodana ka-Aroni, umpristi, ukuba athabathe imicengezi yomlilo emlilweni, awuhlakaze khona umlilo; ngoba bangcwelisiwe.
38Izicengezi zomlilo zalezi zoni mazizenzele izingcwecwe eziyisibekela i-altare; ngokuba banikela ngayo phambi kweNkosi, ngakho-ke bangcwelisiwe; kuyakuba yisibonakaliso kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
39U-Eleyazare umpristi wathatha imicengezi yethusi yokushiswa kwabashisiweyo; kwenziwa izingcwecwe ezibanzi zokusibekela i-altare.
40Kube yisikhumbuzo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ukuba kungasondeli owezizwe ongesiye owenzalo ka-Aroni ukunikela impepho phambi kukaJehova; ukuze angabi njengoKora nanjengesixuku sakhe, njengalokho uJehova eshilo kuye ngesandla sikaMose.
41Kodwa ngangomuso yonke inhlangano yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli yakhonona ngoMose no-Aroni, yathi: “Nibabulele abantu beNkosi.
42Inhlangano yababuthanela oMose no-Aroni, babheka ngasetendeni lokuhlangana; bheka, ifu lasibekela, nenkazimulo yeNkosi yabonakala.
43OMose no-Aroni beza phambi kwetende lokuhlangana.
44UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
45Sukani kule nhlangano, ukuze ngibaqede ngokuphazima kweso. Bawa ngobuso.
46UMose wayesethi ku-Aroni: “Thatha umcengezi womlilo, uthele kuwo umlilo wase-altare, ubeke impepho phezu kwawo, ungene masinyane ebandleni, uwenzele ukubuyisana, ngokuba intukuthelo kaJehova isiphumile; isiqalile isifo.
47U-Aroni wathatha njengalokho emyalile uMose, wagijimela phakathi kwebandla; bheka, isifo saqala phakathi kwabantu, wabeka impepho, wabenzela abantu ukubuyisana.
48Wema phakathi kwabafileyo nabaphilayo; sanqamuka isifo.
49Abafa ngesifo babe yizinkulungwane eziyishumi nane namakhulu ayisikhombisa, ngaphandle kwabafa endabeni kaKora.
50U-Aroni wabuyela kuMose emnyango wetende lokuhlangana, isifo sanqamuka.
