Vakasvika pamukova weTende Rokusangana vakamira pamberi paMozisi, naEreazari muprista, vatungamiri, neungano yose, vakati,
3 Ubaba wafela enkangala; kodwa yena wayengekho phakathi kweqembu lalabo ababuthana ukumelana leNkosi, eqenjini likaKora, kodwa wafa esonweni sakhe, wayengelamadodana.
“Baba vedu vakafira murenje. Vakanga vasiri pakati pavateveri vaKora, avo vakabatana pamwe chete kuti vamukire Jehovha, asi vakafira chivi chavowo vakasasiya vanakomana.
4 Kungani ibizo likababa likhutshwe phakathi kosendo lwakhe ngoba engelandodana? Siphe ilifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakababa.
Ko, zita rababa vedu ragoshayikwa seiko pamhuri yavo, nokuti vakanga vasina mwanakomana here? Tipeiwo nhaka pakati pehama dzababa vedu.”
5 UMozisi waseluletha udaba lwawo phambi kweNkosi.
Saka Mozisi akasvitsa nyaya yavo pamberi paJehovha
6 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Uye Jehovha akati kwaari,
7 Amadodakazi kaZelofehadi akhulume iqiniso; uzawanika lokuwanika isabelo selifa phakathi kwabafowabo bakayise; uzadlulisela kuwo ilifa likayise.
“Zvinorehwa navanasikana vaZerofehadhi ndezvechokwadi. Zvirokwazvo unofanira kuvapa nhaka pakati pehama dzababa vavo ugodzorera nhaka yababa vavo kwavari.
8 Njalo uzakhuluma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli usithi: Uba indoda isifa, ingelandodana, lizadlulisela ilifa layo kundodakazi yayo.
“Uti kuvaIsraeri, ‘Kana murume akafa akasasiya mwanakomana, munofanira kudzorera nhaka yake kumwanasikana wake.
9 Njalo uba ingelandodakazi, lizanika abafowabo ilifa layo.
Kana asina mwanasikana, mupe nhaka yake kumadzikoma ake kana vanunʼuna vake.
10 Uba-ke ingelabafowabo, lizanika ilifa layo kubafowabo bakayise.
Kana asina madzikoma kana vanunʼuna, mupe nhaka yake kuvanunʼuna kana madzikoma ababa vake.
11 Njalo uba uyise engelabafowabo, lizanika ilifa layo esihlotsheni sayo esiseduze layo sosendo lwayo, silidle. Njalo kuzakuba yisimiso sesahlulelo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
Kana baba vake vasina madzikoma kana vanunʼuna, mupe nhaka yake kuhama yepedyo yomumhuri yake, kuti ive yake. Uyu unofanira kuva mutemo kuvaIsraeri, sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.’”
12 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Yenyukela kule intaba yeAbarimi, ubone ilizwe engilinike abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Kwira pamusoro pegomo iri romuAbharimi ugoona nyika yandakapa vaIsraeri.
13 Lapho usulibonile, lawe uzabuthelwa ebantwini bakini, njengoAroni umnewenu wabuthwa;
Mushure mokunge waona, newewo uchasanganiswa navanhu vokwako, sezvakaita Aroni mukoma wako,
14 njengokuba lavukela umlayo wami enkangala yeZini, ekuphikisaneni kwenhlangano, ukungingcwelisa phambi kwamehlo abo. La ngamanzi eMeriba eKadeshi enkangala yeZini.
nokuti ungano payakandimukira pamvura yomuRenje reZini, mose muri vaviri hamuna kuteerera murayiro wangu kuti mundiremekedze somutsvene pamberi pavo.” (Iyi ndiyo mvura yapaMeribha Kadheshi, muRenje reZini.)
15 UMozisi wasekhuluma eNkosini esithi:
Mozisi akati kuna Jehovha,
16 INkosi, uNkulunkulu wemimoya yenyama yonke, kayimise indoda enhlanganweni,
“Jehovha, Mwari wemweya yamarudzi ose avanhu, ngaagadze murume pamusoro peungano iyi
17 engaphuma phambi kwabo, lengangena phambi kwabo, lengabakhokhela baphume, lengabangenisa, ukuze inhlangano yeNkosi ingabi njengezimvu ezingelamelusi.
kuti abude nokupinda pamberi pavo, uyo achavabudisa nokuvapinza, kuti vanhu vaJehovha varege kuva samakwai asina mufudzi.”
18 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Zithathele uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, indoda okukuyo umoya, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo,
Saka Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Tora Joshua mwanakomana waNuni, murume ano mweya maari, ugoisa ruoko rwako pamusoro pake.
19 uyimise phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi laphambi kwenhlangano yonke, uyilaye phambi kwamehlo abo,
Unofanira kumumisa pamberi paEreazari muprista napamberi peungano yose ugomurayira pamberi pavo.
20 ubusubeka okodumo lwakho phezu kwayo, ukuze inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli ilalele.
Umupe rimwe simba rako kuti ungano yose yavaIsraeri igomuteerera.
21 Njalo izakuma phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi ozayibuzela njengokwesahlulelo sikaUrimi phambi kweNkosi; ngomlomo wayo bazaphuma, langomlomo wayo bazangena, yona labantwana bonke bakoIsrayeli kanye layo, ngitsho inhlangano yonke.
Anofanira kumira pamberi paEreazari muprista, uyo achamubvunzira pamberi paJehovha nokutonga kweUrimi. Pakurayira kwake, vanofanira kubuda iye neungano yose yavaIsraeri uye pakurayira kwake ivo vachapinda.”
22 UMozisi wasesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuye. Wathatha uJoshuwa, wammisa phambi kukaEleyazare umpristi laphambi kwenhlangano yonke,
Mozisi akaita sezvaakarayirwa naJehovha. Akatora Joshua akamumisa pamberi paEreazari muprista napamberi peungano yose.
23 wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwakhe, wamlaya, njengokukhuluma kweNkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi.
Ipapo akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pake akamurayira, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
