4 Mose 20

1 Hagi ese ikantera miko Israeli vahe'mo'za Zini hagege kokampi ehanati'za Kades kumate emani'nazageno, Miriamu'a frige'za anante asente'naze.

Ngenyanga yakuqala abantu bonke bako-Israyeli bafika enkangala yaseZini, basebehlala eKhadeshi. UMiriyemu wafela lapho njalo wangcwatshelwa khona.

2 Anampina tima ne'naza zana omanege'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za eritru hu'za Mosesene Aronikiznia kehakare huznante'naze.

Abantu baswela amanzi, ngakho babambana ekuphikiseni uMosi lo-Aroni.

3 Ana vahe'mo'za Mosesena ke ha'rente'za anage hu'naze, tagrira tatranketa Ra Anumzamofo avuga tafuhe'zane fruntesina knare hisine!

Baxabana loMosi kanye lo-Aroni bathi, “Ngabe lathi sahle sazifela mhla abafowethu besifa phambi kukaThixo!

4 Hagi nahigenka Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mota tavrenka hagege ka'ma kokampina anketa, tagrane zagagafatinena fri'zana nehune?

Labalethelani abantu bakaThixo kule inkangala na? Ukuze thina kanye lezifuyo zethu sizefela lapha na?

5 Hagi nagafare Isipitira tavrenka ama havizama hu'nea kokampina e'nane? Fikima, wainima witi ragama, pomigreneti zafa ragama, tima nesunazanena amafina omane mopafina tavrenka e'nane.

Lasikhuphelani eGibhithe lisiletha endaweni le embi kangaka na? Ayilamabele kumbe imikhiwa, amavini loba amaphomegranathi. Njalo akulamanzi okunatha!”

6 Mosese'ene Aronikea seli nomofo avuga zanavugosaregati mopafi umaseke, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamu hakeno, Ra Anumzamofo hanavenentake msamo'a efore hu'ne.

UMosi lo-Aroni basuka embuthanweni wabantu baya esangweni lethente lokuhlangana bawa phansi ngobuso, inkazimulo kaThixo yasibonakala kubo.

7 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena amanage huno asami'ne.

UThixo wathi kuMosi,

8 Azompaka'a enerinka mika vahera kehuge'za atru hanagenka negafu Aroni'enena ana vahe zamavuga havemofona nanekea asamigeno, ana havefinti tina herafiramino e'na, miko vahe'mo'zane zagagafa zmimozanena tina negahaze.

“Thatha intonga kuthi wena lomfowenu u-Aroni libizele abantu ndawonye. Khulumani elitsheni phambi kwabo ngakho lona lizakhupha amanzi alo. Lizathatha amanzi aphuma edwaleni liphe abantu ukuze banathe bona kanye lezifuyo zabo.”

9 Anage higeno Mosese'a Ra Anumzamofo avugama Aroni azompama me'neana erino, Ra Anumzamo'ma huoma huno hunteaza hu'ne.

Ngakho uMosi wathatha intonga phambi kukaThixo, njengokulaywa kwakhe nguThixo.

10 Hagi anante Mosese'ene Aronikea havemofo avuga Israeli vahera zamazeri atru nehuke, Mosese'a anage huno hu'ne, kehakare'ma hu vahe'mota kama antahiho, ama havefinti tina erifore huramigahupi?

UMosi lo-Aroni basebebizela abantu ndawonye phambi kwedwala, uMosi wasesithi kubo, “Lalelani, lina bahlamuki. Silikhuphele amanzi kulelidwala na?”

11 Anante Mosese'a azana erintesaga huno ana havere tare zupa azompa'aretira amasagigeno ana havefintira tina herafino ege'za vahe'mo'zane zagagafazaminena ne'naze.

Ngakho uMosi waphakamisa ingalo yakhe watshaya idwala kabili ngentonga yakhe. Amanzi antshantshaza ephuma edwaleni, Kwathi abantu kanye lezifuyo zabo banatha.

12 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesene Aronikiznia zanasamino, Nagrikura antahionamitna, ruotge hu'ne huta Israeli vahe zmavufina osu'naku, Nagrama tami'noa mopafina ama vahera zamavareta uofregaha'e.

Kodwa uThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni, “Ngenxa yokuthi kalingethembanga okokungipha udumo njengongcwele phambi kwabako-Israyeli, kaliyikukhokhelela lababantu ekungeneni elizweni engibapha lona.”

13 E'ina tinkura Meribe hu'za nehaze. Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'za, tinkura kehakare hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a ruotage hu'noe huno zamaveri hu'ne.

La ngamanzi aseMeribha, lapho abako-Israyeli abaphikisana khona loThixo njalo kulapho uThixo abonakalisa ubungcwele bakhe phakathi kwabo.

14 Hagi Mosese'a Kadesi kumate mani'neno Idomu kini ne'tega ke erino vu vahera huzmantege'za amanage hu'za ome asami'naze. Kafuhe'za Israeli vahe'mo'za kea hu'za, Knazama tagrite'ma e'neana, hago kenka antahinka hu'nane hu'za hu'naze.

UMosi wathumela izithunywa enkosini yase-Edomi zisuka eKhadeshi, esithi: “Nanku okutshiwo ngumfowenu u-Israyeli: Uyabazi bonke ubunzima obusehleleyo.

15 Hagi neragehoza Isipi mopare urami'za rama'a kafu umani'naze. Anantega umani'nonke'za Isipi vahe'mo'zama tafahe'ine tagri'enena tazeri haviza hu'naze.

Okhokho bethu basuka baya eGibhithe, sahlala khona okweminyaka eminengi. AmaGibhithe asiphatha ngochuku kanye labobaba,

16 Hianagi tagrama Ra Anumzamofontega krafa huntonkeno ana krafama huna ketia nentahino, ankero vahe'a huntegeno, Isipitira tavreno atirami'ne. Hagi antahio, menina kagri mopamofo agentega me'nea kumate Kadesi emani'none.

kodwa sakhala kuThixo wezwa ukukhala kwethu wasithumela ingilosi yasikhipha eGibhithe. Khathesi silapha eKhadeshi idolobho elisemngceleni welizwe lakho.

17 Hagi muse hugantoanki tatregeta mopakafina ufreta vamaneno. Hagi tagrama vanuta hozatamifine waini hozatamifinena ovugahune. Anahukna huta tinkeri tamifintira tina onegosune. Hagi kini vahe kanema nehaza karanka nevuta, rukrahe huganti hugama osugahunanki, karanka fatgo huta nevuta mopatamia ome agatereta vugahune.

Ake usivumele sidlule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikudabula phakathi lakuwaphi amasimu loba isivini sakho, kumbe ukunatha amanzi loba kuwuphi umthombo. Sizahamba silandela umgwaqo wenkosi njalo kasiyikuphambukela kwesokudla kumbe kwesokunxele size sedlule elizweni lakho.”

18 Hianagi Idomu kini ne'mo'a kenona huzamanteno, tamagra mopatifina eovugahaze. Hagi anama hanageta, kazinteti hara eme huramantegahune.

Kodwa u-Edomi waphendula wathi: “Ngeke lidlule lapha, lingake lilinge, sizaphuma silihlasele ngenkemba.”

19 Ete Israeli vahe'mo'za mago'ane kenona hunte'za, tagra rankama avaririta nevanunkeno zagagafatimo'zo, mago vahe'mo'ma tamagri tinkerifinti'ma tima nesigeta, tagra miza hugahune. Hagi tatrenketa mopatamifi rankamofo avariri fatgo huta nevuta mago'zana avakora osugahune.

Abako-Israyeli baphendula bathi: “Sizahamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu, njalo thina loba izifuyo zethu singanatha amanzi enu, sizawabhadala. Sifuna ukuzedlulela ngenyawo kuphela nje.”

20 Hianagi Idomu kini ne'mo'a kenona huno, amafina eovugahaze, huno nehuno hanavenentake sondia vahe zamavreno ha' eme huzmante'naku e'ne.

Abase-Edomi baphendula njalo bathi: “Lingadluli lapha.” Ngakho u-Edomi waphuma kanye lebutho elikhulu elilamandla ukuyahlasela abako-Israyeli.

21 Hagi Idomu kini ne'mo'ma mopanifima e'ovugahazema huno hiazanku, Israeli vahe'mo'za atre'za, ru kampi vu'naze.

Njengoba u-Edomi wala ukuthi badabule elizweni labo, abako-Israyeli baphenduka bahamba ngenye indlela.

22 Hagi miko Israeli vahe'mo'zama Kadesi kumara atre'za Hori agonarega vu'naze.

Isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli sasuka eKhadeshi sahamba saze sayafika entabeni yaseHori.

23 Hagi Idomu mopa atuparega Hori agonare Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesene Aronikiznia zanasamino,

Sebesentabeni yaseHori, eduze lomngcele wase-Edomi, uThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni,

24 Aroniga Nagrama Israeli vahe'ma zaminaku'ma hu'noa mopafina uofregahananki, kafu kafahe'zama nehazaza hunka frigahane. Na'ankure e'ina hi'o hu'na tanagri'ma huranantoa kerera Meriba tintera avariri fatgo osu'na'e.

“U-Aroni usezakufa angcwatshwe. Akayikungena elizweni engilinika abako-Israyeli, ngoba lina lobabili langihlamukela emanzini aseMeribha.

25 Hagi Aronine ne' mofavre'a Elieasanena zanavrenka Hori agonare mareri'o.

Biza u-Aroni kanye lendodana yakhe u-Eliyazari ukhwele labo entabeni yaseHori.

26 Hagi ana agonare Aronima antani'neno pristi eri'zama eneria kukena'a, hatenka ne'mofo Elieasana antanintegahane. Hanankeno Aroni'a anante frigahie.

Uhlubule u-Aroni izembatho zakhe uzigqokise indodana yakhe u-Eliyazari, ngoba u-Aroni uzalandela abakibo; uzafela khona.”

27 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma hunteaza huno Mosese'a ana famotrena miko vahe'mo'za nezamageno agonarega zanavreno mareri'ne.

UMosi wenza njengokulaywa kwakhe kuThixo: Bakhwela entabeni yaseHori isizwe sonke sibakhangele.

28 Hagi Mosese'a Aroni'ma antani'neno pristi eri'zama eneria kukena'a hateno nemofo Elieasa antaninte'ne. Ana higeno Aroni'a ana agonare frigeke, Moseseke Elieasakea ana agonaregati erami'na'e.

UMosi wamhlubula u-Aroni izembatho zakhe wazigqokisa indodana yakhe u-Eliyazari. Ngakho u-Aroni wafela khonapho phezu kwentaba. Ngemva kwalokhu uMosi lo-Eliyazari behla entabeni,

29 Hagi Aroni'ma fri'nea zamofoma maka Israeli vahe'mo'zama ke'za antahi'zama nehu'za, 30'a zage knafi zamasunkura hu'za zavira ate'naze.

Kwathi abantu bonke sebezwile ukuthi u-Aroni wayesefile, yonke indlu ka-Israyeli yamlilela okwensuku ezingamatshumi amathathu.
