Amanzi aseMériba
1Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, inhlangano yonke, bafika ehlane laseSini ngenyanga yokuqala; abantu bahlala eKadeshi; uMiriyamu wafela khona, wembelwa khona.
2Kwakungekho manzi enhlangano, yabuthana ngokumelene noMose no-Aroni.
3Abantu baphikisana noMose, bakhuluma bathi: “Sengathi nga safa lapho abafowethu bafa phambi kukaJehova!
4Niletheleni ibandla leNkosi kuleli hlane, ukuze sifele khona thina nemfuyo yethu?
5Nisikhuphuleleni eGibithe ukuba nisilethe kule ndawo embi na? kayisiyo indawo yembewu, lamakhiwane, lemivini, lamapomegranati; futhi awekho amanzi okuphuza.
6Kwathi uMozisi loAroni besuka ebandleni besiya emnyango wethente lenhlangano, bawa ngobuso, inkazimulo yeNKOSI yabonakala kubo.
7UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi:
8Thatha intonga, ubuthe inhlangano, wena no-Aroni umfowenu, nikhulume nedwala phambi kwamehlo ayo; futhi uyonika amanzi awo, futhi kumelwe ubakhiphele amanzi edwaleni; uyakuphuzisa ibandla nezinkomo zalo.
9UMose wathatha intonga phambi kukaJehova, njengalokho emyalile.
10OMose no-Aroni babutha inhlangano phambi kwedwala, bathi kuyo: “Lalelani nina bahlubuki! siyakunikhiphela amanzi kuleli dwala na?
11Khona-ke uMose waphakamisa isandla sakhe walishaya idwala kabili ngentonga yakhe, futhi amanzi aphuma maningi, inhlangano yaphuza kanye nemfuyo yayo.
12INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi lakuAroni: Ngoba lingakholwanga kimi ukungingcwelisa phambi kwamehlo abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngakho kaliyikungenisa lelibandla elizweni engilinika lona.
13Lawa angamanzi aseMeriba; ngoba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli baphikisana neNkosi, futhi wangcweliswa kubo.
14UMose wayesethuma izithunywa enkosini yakwa-Edomi zisuka eKadeshi, zithi: ‘Usho kanje umfowenu, u-Israyeli, uthi: Wena uyakwazi konke ukuhlupheka okusehlele.
15Okhokho bethu behlela eGibhithe, futhi sahlala isikhathi eside eGibhithe; abaseGibithe basicunula nawobaba.
16Kwathi lapho simbiza uJehova, walizwa izwi lethu, wathuma ingelosi, yasikhipha eGibithe; bheka, siseKadeshi, umuzi osekugcineni komkhawulo wakho.
17Masidabule ezweni lakho, asiyikudabula amasimu noma izivini, singaphuzi amanzi emithombo; siyakuhamba endleleni ephakeme yenkosi, asiyikuphambukela ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo, size sidlule imingcele yakho.
18U-Edomi wathi kuye: “Ungadluli kimi, funa ngikuhoshele inkemba.”
19Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bathi kuye: “Sizohamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu; uma mina nezinkomo zami siphuza amanzi akho, ngiyakuwakhokhela; Ngizovele ngidlule ngezinyawo zami ngaphandle kokwenza lutho.
20Wathi: “Aniyikudabula.” U-Edomi waphuma ukumhlangabeza enamadoda amaningi nangesandla esinamandla.
21Kungakho u-Edomi wala ukuba u-Israyeli adabule umkhawulo wakhe; ngalokho u-Israyeli wamfulathela.
22Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, inhlangano yonke, basuka eKadeshi, bafika entabeni yaseHori.
23INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni entabeni yeHori, emngceleni welizwe lakoEdomi, yathi:
24U-Aroni uyakubuthelwa kubantu bakubo, ngokuba akayikungena ezweni engalinika abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba nahlubuka ezwini lami emanzini aseMeriba.
25Thatha u-Aroni no-Eleyazare indodana yakhe, ubakhuphulele eNtabeni yaseHori.
26Khona-ke umkhumule u-Aroni izingubo zakhe, uzigqokise u-Eleyazare indodana yakhe; u-Aroni uyobuthelwa kubantu bakubo, afele khona.
27UMose wenza njengalokho uJehova emyalile, bakhuphuka entabeni yaseHori phambi kwamehlo ayo yonke inhlangano.
28UMose wakhumula izingubo zika-Aroni, wazifaka ku-Eleyazare indodana yakhe; u-Aroni wafela khona esiqongweni sentaba; oMose no-Eleyazare behla entabeni.
29Lapho yonke inhlangano ibona ukuthi u-Aroni ufile, yamlilela u-Aroni izinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu, yonke indlu ka-Israyeli.
