Amanani 12

1 UMiriyamu loAroni basebekhuluma bemelene loMozisi ngenxa yowesifazana umEthiyophiyakazi owayemthethe, ngoba wayethethe umfazi umEthiyophiyakazi.

2 Basebesithi: Kambe, iNkosi ikhulume ngoMozisi kuphela? Kayikhulumanga langathi? LeNkosi yakuzwa.

3 Njalo indoda uMozisi yayimnene kakhulu kulabo bonke abantu abaphezu kobuso bomhlaba.

4 Khona iNkosi yahle yathi kuMozisi lakuAroni lakuMiriyamu: Phumani lobathathu lize ethenteni lenhlangano. Baphuma-ke bona bobathathu.

5 INkosi yasisehla isensikeni yeyezi, yema emnyango wethente, yabiza uAroni loMiriyamu; basebephuma bobabili.

6 Yasisithi: Zwanini-ke amazwi ami; uba kukhona umprofethi phakathi kwenu, mina iNkosi ngizaziveza kuye ngombono, ngikhulume laye ngephupho.

7 Kodwa inceku yami uMozisi kanjalo, uthembekile endlini yami yonke.

8 Ngikhuluma laye umlomo ngomlomo, langokubona, kungeyisikho ngemizekeliso; futhi ukhangela isimo seNkosi. Ngakho kungani belingesabi ukukhuluma limelene lenceku yami uMozisi?

9 Njalo ulaka lweNkosi lwabavuthela; yasihamba.

10 Kwathi lapho iyezi lisuka phezu kwethente, khangela, uMiriyamu wayelobulephero, emhlophe njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyo. UAroni wasemkhangela uMiriyamu, khangela-ke, ulobulephero.

11 UAroni wasesithi kuMozisi: Hawu nkosi yami, akungabeki isono phezu kwethu, okungaso senze ngobuthutha, lokungaso sonile.

12 Ake angabi njengofileyo, othi nxa ephuma esiswini sikanina ingxenye yenyama yakhe idliwe.

13 UMozisi wasekhala eNkosini esithi: Nkulunkulu, ake umelaphe, ngiyakuncenga.

14 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Uba uyise ubemkhafulele lokumkhafulela ngamathe ebusweni bakhe, ubengayikuyangeka insuku eziyisikhombisa yini? Kavalelwe ngaphandle kwenkamba insuku eziyisikhombisa; lemva kwalokho emukelwe.

15 UMiriyamu wasevalelwa ngaphandle kwenkamba insuku eziyisikhombisa; labantu kabasukanga, waze wemukelwa uMiriyamu.

16 Lemva kwalokho abantu basuka eHazerothi, bamisa inkamba enkangala yeParani.
