Kwalula

31 Yehova yalweza Mose ngwenyi: 2 “Fwetesa A-Mindiane mumu lia upi uze alinga kuli A-Izalele. Mba kulutwe, yena muufwa.”

3 Mose yalweza atu ngwenyi: “Luliekenu malunga hakachi kenu hanga aye ni kwasa jita ni A-Mindiane, nukaule usongwelo wa Yehova ni kufwetesa A-Mindiane upi uze alinga kuli A-Izalele. 4 Nwatamba kutuma mu jita malunga 1,000 a ku minyachi yeswe ya Izalele.” 5 Chocho, hakachi ka tununu a tununu A-Izalele, yasakulaho malunga 1,000 a ku minyachi yeswe. Malunga eswe waze aluliekele hanga aye mu jita kapwile 12,000.

6 Mose yatuma mu jita malunga 1,000 a ku minyachi yeswe hamwe ni Finehase, mwana wa Eleazare, yoze wakawile maswalale. Iye yambata yikashi yisandu ni yitavwi yakuhana nayo chilayi cha jita. 7 Ayo yasa jita ni A-Mindiane ngwe chize Yehova atumine Mose kulinga, yashiha malunga eswe. 8 Hakachi ka waze afwile hapwile mianangana A-Mindiane, mianangana jacho kali wano: Evi, Rekeme, Zure, Hure ni Reba, mianangana atano A-Mindiane. Yaashiha nawa Mbalau mwana wa Mbeore ni katana. 9 Alioze, A-Izalele yakwata mapwo, ana A-Mindiane, yaatwala ngwe funge. Yanda nawa yimuna yo yeswe, mapanga ni upite wo weswe. 10 Yocha mambonge jo eswe muze te atwama ni yilombo yo yeswe. 11 Yanda yikumba yeswe, yuma yeswe ya kupupa, atu ni yimuna. 12 Chocho, ayo yaneha funge, yuma ya kupupa ni yikumba kuli Mose, sasendote Eleazare ni ku chikungulwila cha A-Izalele mu chilombo mu yana ya Moape hakamwihi ni Lwiji Yordau, mu Yeriku.

13 Mose, sasendote Eleazare ni akwa-lutwe eswe a chikungulwila yaya ni kulitakana no haze lia chilombo. 14 Alioze, Mose yevwila uli malunga waze atumine mu jita, tupitau a tununu ni tupitau a kulakaji waze te anakatuka mu jita. 15 Mose yaahula ngwenyi: “Mumu liaka nwahichika mapwo eswe ni mwono? 16 Ayo e avulumwishine A-Izalele kumeso ja Yehova kupalikila mu chiyulo cha Mbalau ha chikuma cha Peore, mba musongo yiwiza mu chikungulwila cha Yehova. 17 Haliapwila yenu nwatamba kushiha ana a malunga ni mapwo eswe waze hanalimona ni malunga. 18 Alioze, nwatamba kuhichika ni mwono ana mapwo eswe waze kanda achilimona ni malunga. 19 Yenu nwatamba kutwama haze lia chilombo ha matangwa shimbiali. Mweswe wa kuli yenu yoze washiha mutu hanji wakwata mufu, katamba kulipemesa ha tangwa liamuchitatu ni ha tangwa liamuchishimbiali hamwe ni funge jenu. 20 Nwatamba kupemesa mazalo jenu eswe, yuma yeswe ya malambu, yuma yeswe yakulinga ni wona-wona wa pembe ni yuma yeswe ya mapaya.”

21 Sasendote Eleazare yalweza maswalale waze ayile mu jita ngwenyi: “Yino ye shimbi yize Yehova ahana kuli Mose ngwenyi: 22 ‘Oru, prata, unengu, utale, chifoya ni shumbu, 23 yuma yeswe yize kuyishi kuwema mu kahia nwatamba kuyipalikisa mu kahia hanga nuyipemese. Alioze, nwatamba kuyipemesa nawa ni meya akupemesa no. Yuma yeswe yize yakuwema mu kahia, nwatamba kuyipalikisa mu meya. 24 Ha tangwa liamuchishimbiali nwatamba kukosa mazalo jenu hanga nulipemese mba nunjile mu chilombo.’”

25 Yehova yalweza Mose ngwenyi: 26 “Alula yuma ya kupupa yize eza nayo, yize atambula hamwe ni atu ni yimuna, chilinge hamuwika ni sasendote Eleazare ni akwa-lutwe akwo a chikungulwila. 27 Teta yuma yacho mu yihanda yaali, chihanda chimuwika chihane kuli maswalale waze anakaya mu jita, chihanda chikwo chihane ku chikungulwila. 28 Ha chihanda cha yuma ya maswalale waze anakaya mu jita, nwatamba kwandaho chuma chimuwika-chimuwika ha chizavu cha 500 a funge, ngombe, yimbulu ni mapanga, chikapwe mulambu wa Yehova. 29 Nwatamba kuyihana kuli sasendote Eleazare ngwe mulambu wa Yehova. 30 Ha chizavu cha 50 a funge, ngombe, yimbulu ni mapanga hanji ha yimuna yeswayo ya A-Izalele, watamba kwandaho chuma chimuwika-chimuwika hanga uchihane kuli A-Levi waze akufunga yuma mu tabernakulu ya Yehova.”

31 Chocho Mose ni sasendote Eleazare, yaalinga yeswe yize Yehova atumine Mose kulinga. 32 Ha yuma ya kupupa yize yasalile ha upite uze atambwile malunga waze ayile ku jita, hapwile mapanga 675,000, 33 ngombe 72,000 34 ni yimbulu 61,000. 35 Mapwo waze te kanda achilimona ni malunga kapwile 32,000. 36 Chihanda cha upite wa maswalale waze ayile mu jita chapwile cha mapanga 337,500. 37 Mapanga waze ahanyine ngwe mulambu kuli Yehova kapwile 675. 38 Hapwile nawa ngombe 36,000, hakachi ka ngombe jacho he anjile 72 waze ahanyine ngwe mulambu kuli Yehova. 39 Hapwile yimbulu 30,500, hakachi ka yimbulu jacho he anjile 61 waze ahanyine ngwe mulambu kuli Yehova. 40 Hapwile atu 16,000, hakachi ka atu jacho he achijile 32 waze ahanyine ngwe mulambu kuli Yehova. 41 Chocho Mose yahana mulambu kuli sasendote Eleazare ngwe mulambu wa Yehova, kulita ni yize Yehova atumine Mose kulinga.

42 Chihanda cha A-Izalele chize Mose achijile hakachi ka chihanda cha malunga waze ayile mu jita chili chino: 43 Chihanda cha mapanga chapwile 337,500; 44 chihanda cha ngombe chapwile 36,000; 45 chihanda cha yimbulu chapwile 30,500; 46 chihanda cha atu chapwile 16,000. 47 Hakachi ka chihanda cha A-Izalele, Mose yanda funge umuwika hakachi ka funge 50 ni chimuna umuwika hakachi ka yimuna, yayihana kuli A-Levi waze te akufunga yuma mu tabernakulu ya Yehova, kulita ni chize Yehova atumine Mose kulinga.

48 Chocho, malunga waze asakwile hanga aye mu jita, tupitau a tununu ni tupitau a kulakaji, yeza kuli Mose, 49 yamulweza ngwo: “Tuvumbi je kalulanga tujita waze ali mu chiyulo chetu, mba katulwezanga ngwo kwahonene niumwe wa kuli ayo. 50 Kashika, mutu ni mutu wa kuli yetu alambule kuli Yehova yize anakawana: Yikwata ya oru, malenge, mikosa, tuzeya, yingeliengelie ni yuma yikwo ya ndando hanga atufukile shili kumeso ja Yehova.”

51 Chocho Mose ni sasendote Eleazare yatayiza oru yacho ni yuma yeswe ya ndando. 52 Oru yeswe yize tupitau a tununu ni tupitau a kulakaji ahanyine kuli Yehova yapwile 16,750 ya shekele. 53 Maswalale eswe kahele chihanda cha upite wa kupupa. 54 Mose ni sasendote Eleazare, yatayiza oru ya tupitau a tununu ni tupitau a kulakaji, yayitwala mu mbalaka ya kulikungulwila hanga yipwe chiwulwiso hali A-Izalele kumeso ja Yehova.
