Amanani 25
1 UIsrayeli wasehlala eShithimi. Abantu basebeqala ukuphinga lamadodakazi akoMowabi.
Isirayiri bwe yali mu Sitimu, abasajja ne batandika okwenda n’abakazi ba Mowaabu,
2 Asebabizela abantu emihlatshelweni yabonkulunkulu bawo, labantu badla, bakhothamela onkulunkulu bawo.
abaabayitanga ku kuwaayo ebiweebwayo eri bakatonda baabwe. Abaana ba Isirayiri ne balya era ne bavuunamira bakatonda abo.
3 UIsrayeli wasezihlanganisa loBhali-Peyori; lolaka lweNkosi lwamvuthela uIsrayeli.
Bw’atyo Isirayiri n’ayingirira eby’okusinzanga Baali ow’e Peoli. Obusungu bwa Mukama ne bubabuubuukirako.
4 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Thatha zonke inhloko zabantu, uziphanyeke phambi kweNkosi maqondana lelanga, ukuze ulaka lweNkosi oluvuthayo lubuye lusuke koIsrayeli.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Kwata abakulembeze b’abantu bano obatte, obaanike mu maaso ga Mukama abantu bonna we babalabira, obusungu bwa Mukama bulyoke bukkakkane buve ku Isirayiri.”
5 UMozisi wasesithi kubahluleli bakoIsrayeli: Bulalani, kube ngulowo lalowo amadoda akhe ababezihlanganise loBhali-Peyori.
Musa n’agamba abalamuzi ba Isirayiri nti, “Buli omu ku mmwe atte abo abali mu mmwe abeegasse mu kusinza Baali ow’e Peoli.”
6 Khangela-ke, umuntu wabantwana bakoIsrayeli weza waletha kubafowabo umMidiyanikazi phambi kwamehlo kaMozisi laphambi kwamehlo enhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, besakhala inyembezi emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
Kale, laba, omusajja omu ku baana ba Isirayiri n’aleeta mu maka ge omukazi Omumidiyaani awo mu maaso ga Musa, nga n’ekibiina kyonna ekya Isirayiri bali awo bakaabira mu mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.
7 Kwathi uPhinehasi, indodana kaEleyazare, indodana kaAroni umpristi, ekubona, wasukuma ephuma phakathi kwenhlangano, wathatha umkhonto esandleni sakhe,
Naye Finekaasi mutabani wa Eriyazaali, mutabani wa Alooni kabona, bwe yakiraba, n’asituka mu kibiina n’akwata effumu mu mukono gwe
8 waseyilandela indoda yakoIsrayeli ethenteni, wabagwaza bobabili, indoda yakoIsrayeli lowesifazana esiswini sakhe. Yasimiswa inhlupheko kubantwana bakoIsrayeli.
n’agoberera Omuyisirayiri n’amutuusa mu weema. Bombi n’abafumita effumu ne liyita mu Muyisirayiri ne liggukira ne mu mubiri gw’omukazi, ne libayitamu bombi. Awo kawumpuli eyali alumbye abaana ba Isirayiri n’akoma.
9 Lalabo abafayo ngenhlupheko babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lane.
N’abo abaafa kawumpuli baawera emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi nnya.
10 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
11 UPhinehasi, indodana kaEleyazare indodana kaAroni umpristi, uphendule ulaka lwami lusuka ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ngoba wayelobukhwele ngobukhwele bami phakathi kwabo; ngakho kangibaqothulanga abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngobukhwele bami.
“Finekaasi mutabani wa Eriyazaali, mutabani wa Alooni kabona, ankyusisizza obusungu bwange ne mbuggya ku baana ba Isirayiri; kubanga obusungu bwe bwabuubuuka nnyo ng’obwange olw’obutafaayo ku kitiibwa kyange, kyenvudde sibazikiriza kubamalawo.
12 Ngakho utsho: Khangela, ngiyamnika isivumelwano sami sokuthula.
Noolwekyo mutegeeze nti, ‘Laba nkola naye endagaano ey’emirembe.
13 Njalo uzakuba laso, lenzalo yakhe emva kwakhe, isivumelwano sobupristi obulaphakade, ngenxa yokuthi elobukhwele ngoNkulunkulu wakhe, wabenzela abantwana bakoIsrayeli inhlawulo yokuthula.
Ye, ne bazzukulu be bonna banaabanga mu ndagaano ey’obwakabona obw’emirembe gyonna, kubanga yasunguwalira abaana ba Isirayiri olw’okutyoboola ekitiibwa kya Katonda we, n’abatangiririra.’”
14 Lebizo lendoda yakoIsrayeli eyatshaywayo, eyatshaywa kanye lomMidiyanikazi, lalinguZimri indodana kaSalu, isiphathamandla sendlu kayise phakathi kwabakoSimeyoni.
Omusajja Omuyisirayiri eyattirwa awamu n’omukazi Omumidiyaani yali Zimuli mutabani wa Salu eyali omukulembeze mu kika kya Simyoni.
15 Ibizo lowesifazana owatshaywayo, umMidiyanikazi, lalinguKozibi indodakazi kaZuri, owayeyinhloko yesizwe sendlu kayise eMidiyani.
N’erinnya ly’omukazi Omumidiyaani eyattibwa nga ye Kozebi muwala wa Zuuli, eyali omukulembeze mu kimu ku bika bya Midiyaani.
16 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
17 Hluphani amaMidiyani, liwatshaye;
“Abamidiyaani obayigganyanga n’obatta,
18 ngoba aliphethe njengezitha ngobuqili bawo, alikhohlisa ngodaba lukaPeyori langodaba lukaKozibi, indodakazi yesiphathamandla seMidiyani, udadewabo, owatshaywa ngosuku lwenhlupheko ngenxa yodaba lukaPeyori.
kubanga baayagala okubazikiriza n’enkwe zaabwe bwe baabakyamya e Peoli, n’olwa Kozebi muwala w’omukulembeze w’e Midiyaani, omukazi oyo eyattibwa ku lunaku okwajjira kawumpuli olw’ebyo ebyali e Peoli.”
