1 Hagi Ramo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 Hagi Israeli vahe'motama tamazeri savri hazageta havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunte'narera nona huta Midieni vahera zamahe vagaregahaze. Hagi anama hutesunka kagra frinka naga ka'ama mani'narega vugahane.
“Phindisela kumaMidiyani usenzela abako-Israyeli. Ngemva kwalokho, uzalandela okhokho bakho.”
3 Higeno Mosese'a vahera zamasamino, amu'nontamifinti mago'a veneneramina ha'zana eri retro huzmantenke'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma rimpama ahezmante'nea zamofo nona hu'za Midieni vahera hara ome huzmanteho. (Nam-Ham 25:16-17)
Ngakho uMosi wathi ebantwini, “Hlomisani amanye amadoda aye empini ayekulwa lamaMidiyani kanye lokuphindisela kukaThixo kuwo.
4 Hagi Israeli vahepintira magoke magoke naga nofipinti 1 tauseni'a vahe huzamantetere hinke'za hatera viho.
Thumelani amadoda ayinkulungwane avela esizwaneni ngasinye sako-Israyeli ukuyahlasela.”
5 Hige'za Israeli vahepinti mago mago naga nofi'mo'za 1 tauseni'a vahe hu'zamantetere hazage'za ana makara 12 tauseni'a vahe'mo'za hatera vu'naku retro hu'naze.
Ngakho amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili ahlomela ukuyahlasela, kuyinkulungwane yamadoda avela esizwaneni ngasinye, ebuthwe ngosendo lunye ngalunye kwabako-Israyeli.
6 Hagi Mosese'a magoke magoke nagapintira 1 tauseni'a venene hatera huzamante'ne. Hagi anampina pristi ne' Eleasa nemofo Finiasi'a ruotage'ma hu'nege'za seli mono nompima eri'zama e'neriza zantamine, ufene eri'neno, vugoteno nevige'za vu'naze.
UMosi wabathumela ukuyahlasela, kuyinkulungwane evela esizwaneni ngasinye, kanye loFinehasi indodana ka-Eliyazari, umphristi, owathatha izitsha endlini engcwele kanye lamacilongo okubikelana.
7 Hagi zamagra Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea kante ante'za Midieni vahe hara huzmante'za, miko venenea zamahehana hu'naze.
Balwa lamaMidiyani, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo, babulala amadoda wonke.
8 Hagi ana vahepina 5fu'a Midieni kini vahe'ma zamahe'nazana, Evima, Rekemima, Zurima, Hurima, Rebama huza zamahe'naze. Hagi anampinke Beoli nemofo Balamuna kazinknonteti ahe fri'naze.
Phakathi kwababulawayo kwakulamakhosi amahlanu amaMidiyani abalisa u-Evi, uRekhemu, uZuri, uHuri kanye loRebha. Babulala loBhalamu indodana kaBheyori ngenkemba.
9 Ana nehu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za, Midieni vahe'mokizmi a'nene, mofavrene, bulimakao afuzagane, sipisipi afutamine, feno zazminena mika eri vagare'naze.
Abako-Israyeli bathumba abesifazane bamaMidiyani labantwana, basebethumba lemihlambi yenkomo zamaMidiyani, leyezimvu kanye lokubutha impahla njengempango.
10 Hagi mika ranra kumazamine neone kumazamia teve taginte'za kre vagare'naze.
Batshisa wonke amadolobho lapha okwakuhlala khona amaMidiyani, kanye lezihonqo zawo zonke.
11 Hagi vahe'ene afu'zaga zaminena miko Israeli vahe'mo'za zamavare vagare'naze.
Bathatha konke ababekubuthile lababekuthumbile, kuhlanganisa abantu lezifuyo,
12 Anama zamavraza vahezagagi, afu feno zamigi, afuzagaramina zamavare'za Moapu agupofi Mosese'ene pristi ne' Eleasake'ma mani'natega Israeli vahe'mo'za seli nonku'ma ki'za mani'narega, Jeriko mopamofo kantu kaziga Jodani tinte mika eri'za vu'naze.
njalo basebeletha abathunjwa, okuthunjiweyo lokubuthiweyo kuMosi lo-Eliyazari umphristi kanye lebandleni lonke lako-Israyeli ezihonqweni zabo zasemagcekeni aseMowabi, ngaseJodani ngaphetsheya ukuvelela eJerikho.
13 Hagi Moseseki Pristi ne' Eleasaki, Israeli kva vahe'zagagi hu'za ome tutagiha huzamantenaku seli no kumazmimofo fegi'a atirami'za vu'naze.
UMosi, u-Eliyazari umphristi kanye labo bonke abakhokheli babantu baphuma ukuyabahlangabeza ngaphandle kwezihonqo.
14 Hianagi 1tauseni'a sondia vahetema kvama hu'naza vahe'ene, 100'a sondia vahetema kvama hu'naza vahetamima hateti'ma azageno'a Mosese'a tusi arimpa ahezmante'ne.
UMosi wathukuthelela abalawuli bamabutho, ababelawula amaxuku ezinkulungwane lababelawula amaxuku angamakhulu, ababevela ekuhlaseleni.
15 Hagi Mosese'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Nahigeta tamagra maka a'neramina ozamahe zamatrage'za mani'naze? huno Mosese'a zamantahige'ne.
UMosi wababuza wathi, “Selivumele abesifazane ukuthi baphile na?
16 Zamagra e'i ana a'nemo'za Balamu kea antahi'za Peori agonafina tagri vahera zamazeri savri hazageno, Ra Anumzamofona hara rente'za zamefi humi'naze. Anama hazageno Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mo'za knazana eri'naze.
Yibo ababelandela ukucebisa kukaBhalamu njalo bahugela abako-Israyeli ekungathembekini kuThixo kulokhu okwenzakala ePheyori, kwaze kwathi abantu bakaThixo behlelwa yisifo.
17 Menina miko ne' mofavre'zaga nezamaheta, venenezaganema monko'zama hu'nesaza a'nezaga miko zamahe friho.
Khona khathesi bulalani abafana bonke. Njalo libulale wonke owesifazane oseke walala lendoda,
18 Hianagi venema monko'zama osu'nesaza mofa'nea mika zamatrenke'za tamagri su'za maniho.
kodwa lizigcinele loba yiphi intombazana engakaze ilale lendoda.
19 Iza'o ana vahe'ma zamahe frige, fri'nesaza vahe'ma zamavako'ma hu'nesnamota, kumamofo fegi'a 7ni'a kna manigahaze. Hagi nampa 3 knare'ene, nampa 7ni knarera tamagrane hapinti'ma zamavareta e'naza vahe'enena tamagra'a tamazeri agru hugahaze.
Lina lonke elibulele loba ngubani loba lina elike lathinta loba ngubani obuleweyo lizahlala ngaphandle kwezihonqo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa. Ngosuku lwesithathu langosuku lwesikhombisa lizihlambulule lina kanye labathunjwa benu.
20 Hagi mika kukenama, bulimakao akruteti tro hunenia kukenama, sipisipi azokateti tro hu'nenia kukenanena, mika azeri agru hugahaze.
Lihlambulule zonke izembatho kanye lakho konke okwenziwe ngesikhumba, uboya bembuzi loba okwezigodo.”
21 Anante pristi ne' Eleasari'a amanage huno hate'ma vu'naza vahera zamasami'ne, Ama tra kea hate'ma vute'za esaza vahe'mo'zama zamazeri agruma hanaza zanku Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea naneke.
Ngakho u-Eliyazari umphristi wathi kwabebutho ababeye empini, “Nanku okufaneleyo ngokomthetho owaphiwa uMosi nguThixo:
22 Hagi golireti'ma, silvaretima, aenireti'ma, bronsireti'ma, tinireti'ma, lediretima,
Igolide, isiliva, ithusi, insimbi, izenge lomnuso,
23 tro'ma hu'nesaza zantamine, tevemo'ma tegama osune'nia aeniraminena miko tevefi kreta azeri agru hugahaze. Ana huteta ete timpi mago'ane sesehuta zamazeri agru hugahaze. Hianagi tevemo'ma te fanenema hugazantamina, tinteti sesehuta zamazeri agru hugahaze.
kanye lakho konke okunye okungatshi kutshabalale emlilweni kumele kudlule emlilweni, ngalokho kuzabe sekuhlambulukile. Kodwa kumele njalo kube sekuhlanjululiwe ngamanzi okuhlambulula. Kanti njalo kuthi lakuphi okungeke kwamelana lomlilo kumele kudluliswe kulawomanzi.
24 Hagi 7ni knarera kukenatamia sese nehuta, tamagra'a tamazeri agru hugahaze. Hagi anama hutesutma seli nonkumapina ufregahaze hu'ne.
Ngosuku lwesikhombisa gezisani izigqoko zenu ukuze lihlambuluke. Ngemva kwalokho selingangena ezihonqweni.”
25 Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena asamino,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
26 Kagrane pristi ne' Eliasa'ene mike naga nofipima vugote'naza kva vahe'mota, ha'ma ome hu'za eri'za e'naza zantamine, vahe'ene zagagafanena hamprigahaze.
“Wena kanye lo-Eliyazari umphristi kanye labazinhloko zezimuli zabantu lizabala abantu bonke lezinyamazana, konke okwathunjwayo.
27 Ana'ma huteta hapinti'ma eri'za e'naza feno zantamina tarefi refko huta, ha'ma ome hu'naza sondia vahera nezamita, mesiama'a mago'a vahetami zamiho.
Yabelani amabutho ayesempini kanye labantu bonke impango ngokulinganayo.
28 Hagi vahero, bulimakaono, sipisipio, meme afuro donki afu'ma hamprisageno'ma 500tima huterema hanifintira, Ra Anumzamo'na suzana magoke namitere hugahaze.
Emabuthweni alwayo empini, thathani okukodwa emakhulwini amahlanu kube yisabelo sikaThixo, kumbe ngabantu, inkomo, obabhemi, izimvu loba imbuzi.
29 Hagi Nagri'ma Ra Anumzamo'nama nami'naza ofa erita pristi ne' Elieasa ome amigahaze.
Thathani lesisabelo engxenyeni yesabo liyiphe u-Eliyazari umphristi ibe yingxenye kaThixo.
30 Hagi Israeli vahe'ma refko huzamizage'za eri'naza zampinti'ma hamprisageno mago 50tima huterema hania vahero, bulimakaono, sipisipio, meme afu'tamimpintira mago avretere huta, livae nagama Ra Anumzamo'na seli mono noma kegava hu'naza nagara zamigahaze.
Kungxenye yabako-Israyeli, khethani okukodwa ematshumini amahlanu, phakathi kwabantu, inkomo, obabhemi, izimvu, imbuzi loba ezinye izifuyo. Zipheni abaLevi, bona abalomlandu wokunakekela ithabanikeli likaThixo.”
31 Hanki Moseseke pristi ne' Elieasakea Ra Anumzamo'ma huzanante'nea zana hu'na'e.
Ngakho uMosi lo-Eliyazari umphristi benza njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
32 Hagi hapintima sondia vahe'mo'zama eri'za e'naza zantamima miko hampri'nazana 675 tauseni'a sipisipigi,
Impango eyayisele kulokho okwathathwa ngamabutho kwakuyizimvu eziyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu,

41 Ana hazageno ana zantamina Mosese'a erino Ra Anumzamo'ma asami'nea kante anteno, Ra Anumzamofo ofagino pristi ne' Eleasa ami'ne.
UMosi wanika u-Eliyazari umphristi isabelo sikaThixo, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
42 Hagi ha'ma ome hu'naza sondia vahe'mofo zampinti'ma, Israeli vahe'ma Mosesema refko huno zami'neana,

Ngakho izikhulu ezaziphethe izigaba zebutho, abalawuli bamaxuku azinkulungwane kanye labalawuli bamaxuku angamakhulu baya kuMosi
