Na Helu 20
1 A LAILA hele mai la ka poe mamo a Iseraela, o ke anaina kanaka a pau i ka waonahele o Zina, i ka malama mua: a noho iho la na kanaka ma Kadesa; malaila i make ai o Miriama, a ua kanuia iho la ia ma ia wahi.
Khona abantwana bakoIsrayeli, inhlangano yonke, bafika enkangala yeZini ngenyanga yokuqala; labantu bahlala eKadeshi. UMiriyamu wasefela lapho, wangcwatshwa khona.
2 Aohe wai ilaila no ke anaina kanaka: a hoakoakoa ae la lakou ia lakou iho, a ku e ia Mose laua me Aarona.
Njalo kwakungelamanzi enhlangano; ngakho bahlangana bamelana loMozisi bamelana loAroni.
3 Hakaka ae la na kanaka me Mose, olelo ae la lakou penei, E aho ko makou make, i ka manawa i make ai na hoahanau o makou imua o Iehova!
Abantu baphikisana loMozisi bakhuluma besithi: Kungathi ngabe safa ekufeni kwabafowethu phambi kweNkosi!
4 No ke aha hoi olua i alakai mai nei i ke anaina kanaka o Iehova iloko o keia waonahele i make ai makou me na holoholona a makou?
Liletheleni ibandla leNkosi enkangala le ukuze sifele lapha, thina lezifuyo zethu?
5 No ke aha la olua i hoohele mai nei ia makou mai Aigupita mai, e hookomo ai ia makou iloko o keia wahi ino? Aole keia he wahi no na anoano, aohe fiku, aole kumu waina, aole pomeraite, aole hoi wai e inu ai.
Lasenyuselani sisuka eGibhithe ukusiletha kulindawo embi? Kakusiyo indawo yenhlanyelo lemikhiwa lamavini lamapomegranati, futhi kakulamanzi okunatha.
6 Hele aku la o Mose laua o Aarona mai ke alo o ke anaina kanaka aku a ka puka o ka halelewa o ke anaina, a moe iho la laua ilalo ke alo; a ikea mai la ka nani o Iehova ia laua.
UMozisi loAroni basebesuka phambi kwebandla, baya emnyango wethente lenhlangano, bathi mbo ngobuso babo phansi. Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasibonakala kubo.
7 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
8 E lawe oe i ke kookoo, a e hoakoakoa oe i ke anaina kanaka, o oe a me Aarona kou kaikuaana, a e olelo aku olua i ka pohaku imua o na maka o lakou; a e haawi mai ia i kona wai, a e lawe mai oe i ka wai no lakou mailoko mai o ka pohaku: a pela no oe e hooinu ai i ke anaina kanaka, a me ka lakou poe holoholona.
Thatha intonga, ubuthanise inhlangano, wena loAroni umnewenu, likhulume kulo idwala phambi kwamehlo abo, njalo lizanika amanzi alo; ngalokhu uzabakhuphela amanzi edwaleni, ukuze ulinathise ibandla lezifuyo zabo.
9 Lawe aku la o Mose i ke kookoo mai ke alo o Iehova aku, e like me kana i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
UMozisi wasethatha intonga esuka phambi kweNkosi njengokumlaya kwayo.
10 Houluulu ae la o Mose laua o Aarona i ke anaina kanaka imua o ka pohaku, i aku la oia ia lakou, E hoolohe mai oukou, e ka poe kipi; pono anei no maua e hookahe iho i ka wai mailoko mai o keia pohaku?
UMozisi loAroni basebebuthanisa ibandla phambi kwedwala; wasesithi kubo: Zwanini-ke, lina bahlamuki; sizalikhuphela yini amanzi edwaleni leli?
11 Kaikai ae la o Mose i kona lima iluna, hahau iho la i ka pohaku, me kona kookoo, elua hahau ana; a kahe nui mai la ka wai: inu iho la ke anaina kanaka a me ko lakou poe holoholona.
UMozisi wasephakamisa isandla sakhe, watshaya idwala kabili ngentonga yakhe; kwasekumpompoza amanzi amanengi, inhlangano yasinatha, lezifuyo zayo.
12 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona, No ko olua manaoio ole mai ia'u, e hoauo mai ia'u imua o na mamo a Iseraela, nelaila, aole olua e kai aku i keia anaina kanaka i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai no lakou.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi lakuAroni: Ngoba lingangikholwanga, ukungingcwelisa emehlweni abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngakho kaliyikungenisa ibandla leli elizweni engibanike lona.
13 O keia ka wai no Meriba; no ka mea, ua aaka mai na mamo a Iseraela me Iehova, a ua hoanoia oia ia lakou.
La ngamanzi eMeriba, lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli abaphikisana khona leNkosi, yasingcweliswa kubo.
14 Hoouna aku la o Mose i na elele mai Kadesa aku i ke alii o Edoma, Penei ka ka hoahanau ou, ka Iseraela e olelo aku nei, Ua ike no oe i ka luhi a pau i loaa ia makou;
UMozisi wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yeEdoma zisuka eKadeshi wathi: Utsho njalo umfowenu uIsrayeli: Wena uyazazi zonke inkathazo ezisehleleyo,
15 I ka iho ana o ko makou poe kupuna ilalo i Aigupita, a he liuliu ko makou noho ana i Aigupita; a hoopilikia mai ko Aigupita ia makou a me ko makou poe kupuna.
lokuthi obaba behlela eGibhithe, sasesihlala eGibhithe insuku ezinengi; lamaGibhithe asiphatha kubi labobaba.
16 A i a wa i hea aku ai makou ia Iehova, hoolohe mai la oia i ko makou leo, a hoouna mai la i anela, a ua hoopuka mai ia makou iwaho o Aigupita: eia hoi makou ma Kadesa nei, he kulanakauhale ma ke kihi loa o kou palena.
Sasesikhala eNkosini, yasisizwa ilizwi lethu, yathuma ingilosi, yasikhupha eGibhithe; khangela-ke siseKadeshi, umuzi osekucineni komngcele wakho.
17 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe ia makou e hele aku mawaena o kou aina: aole makou e hele mawaena o na mahinaai, aole hoi mawaena o na pawaina, aole hoi makou e inu i ka wai o na punawai; e hele no makou ma ke alaloa o ke alii, aole makou e kipa ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema, a hala aku makou i na palena ou.
Ake usiyekele sidabule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikudabula ensimini loba esivinini, futhi kasiyikunatha amanzi omthombo. Sizahamba ngomgwaqo wenkosi, kasiyikuphambukela ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo, size sedlule umngcele wakho.
18 I mai la o Edoma ia ia, Mai hele ae oe ma o'u nei o hele aku au e ku e ia oe me ka pahikaua.
Kodwa uEdoma wathi kuye: Kawuyikudabula kimi, hlezi ngiphume ngenkemba ngimelane lawe.
19 I aku la ka poe mamo a Iseraela ia ia, E hele no makou ma ke alaloa, a iua e inu au a me ko'u poe holoholona i kou wai, alaila e uku aku no au ia mea: e hele wale no makou ma ko makou mau wawae, aole e hana i kekahi mea e ae.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesithi kuye: Sizahamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu. Uba-ke mina lezifuyo zami sinatha okwamanzi akho, sizawabhadalela; kuphela ngizadabula ngenyawo zami nje.
20 I mai la kela, Aole loa oe e hele mawaena mai. A puka mai la ko Edoma e ku e mai ia ia, me na kanaka he nui loa, a me ka lima ikaika.
Kodwa wathi: Kawuyikudabula. UEdoma wasephuma wamelana laye elabantu abanengi, langesandla esilamandla.
21 Pela no o Edoma i hoole mai ai i ka haawi ana i alanui no ka Iseraela mawaena o kona palena: no ia mea, haliu ae la ka Iseraela mai ona aku la.
Ngalokhu uEdoma wala ukuvumela uIsrayeli ukudabula emngceleni wakhe. Ngakho uIsrayeli waphambuka wasuka kuye.
22 Hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, o ke anaina kanaka a pau, mai Kadesa aku a hiki i ke kuahiwi o Hora.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli, inhlangano yonke, basebesuka eKadeshi, bafika entabeni yeHori.
23 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose a me Aarona ma ke kuahiwi o Hora, ma ka palena aina o Edoma, i mai la,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni entabeni yeHori, emngceleni welizwe leEdoma, isithi:
24 E hui pu ia'ku o Aarona me kona poe kanaka: aole ia e komo i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai no na mamo a Iseraela, no ka mea, ua ku e mai olua i ka'u olelo ma ka wai Meriba.
UAroni uzabuthelwa ebantwini bakibo, ngoba kayikungena elizweni engilinike abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngoba lahlamukela ilizwi lami emanzini eMeriba.
25 E lawe oe ia Aarona a me kana keiki o Eleazara, e kai aku ia laua maluna ma ko kuahiwi o Hora.
Thatha uAroni loEleyazare indodana yakhe, ubenyusele entabeni yeHori,
26 E wehe ae i ka aahu o Aarona, a e hookomo i kana keiki ia Eleazara: a e hui pu ia'ku o Aarona, a e make no ia malaila.
umhlubule uAroni izembatho zakhe, uzifake kuEleyazare indodana yakhe; ngoba uAroni uzabuthelwa kwabakibo, afele lapho.
27 Hana iho la o Mose e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai: a pii aku la laua ma ke kuahiwi o Hora imua o ke anaina kanaka a pau.
UMozisi wenza njengokulaya kweNkosi. Basebesenyukela entabeni yeHori phambi kwamehlo enhlangano yonke.
28 Wehe ae la o Mose i na aahu o Aarona, a hoaahu ae la maluna o kana keiki o Eleazara: a make iho la o Aarona malaila ma kahi oi o ke kuahiwi: a iho iho la o Mose laua o Eleazara mai ke kuahiwi mai.
UMozisi wasemhlubula uAroni izembatho zakhe, wazifaka kuEleyazare indodana yakhe. UAroni wasefela lapho engqongeni yentaba. UMozisi loEleyazare basebesehla entabeni.
29 A ike aku la ke anaina kanaka a pau, na make o Aarona, kanikau iho la ka Iseraela a pau ia Aarona i na la he kanakolu.
Lapho inhlangano yonke ibona ukuthi uAroni usephelile, balilela uAroni insuku ezingamatshumi amathathu, indlu yonke kaIsrayeli.
