16 Kora, omonamati waIshar, omonamati waKohat, omonamati waLevi, ova ya pamwe naDatan naAbiram, ovanamati vaEliab, nosho yo On, omonamati waPelet, vomoludalo laRuben. 2 Ova tukululila Moses oshibofa pamwe novalumenhu Ovaisrael 250, omalenga Ovaisrael, ovo va hoololwa meongalo, ovalumenhu ovo va fimanekwa. 3 Opo nee ova ongala pamwe nova tangunina Moses naAron, tava ti: “Otwe mu loloka! Ongudu aishe, sha hala okutya, ovanhu aveshe, oiyapuki, na Jehova oku li mokati kavo. Ndele omolwashike nye tamu litumbaleke nye vene meongalo laJehova?”

4 Eshi Moses eshi uda, okwe linyongamena pedu. 5 Opo nee okwa tya kuKora nokovayambididi vaye aveshe: “Ongula Jehova ota ka shiivifa kutya olyelye a ama kombinga yaye, naao omuyapuki, oo e na okuya kuye, nakeshe oo a hoolola ota ka ehena popepi naye. 6 Ningeni ngaha: Kora novayambididi voye aveshe, 7 kufeni oikwatelwa yomundilo, ndele tamu tula mo omundilo nokutula mo oitwimifo koshipala shaJehova mongula, naao Jehova ta ka hoolola oye omuyapuki. Nye ovanamati vaLevi otamu ningi oinima itamu dulu oku i kalela po!”

8 Opo nee Moses okwa tya kuKora: “Alikana, pwilikineni, nye ovanamati vaLevi. 9 Mbela omu wete oshinima shanafangwa, eshi Kalunga kaIsrael e mu yoolola mo mongudu yOvaisrael noku mu efa mu ye kuye, opo mu dule okulonga oilonga yoketwalihangano laJehova nomu fikame mokati kongudu mu i yakule? 10 Ile omu wete oshinima shanafangwa, eshi e mu eta popepi naye pamwe novamwanyoko, ovanamati vaLevi? Omolwashike mwa hala okukondjela oupristeri? 11 Omolwetomheno olo, ove novayambididi voye aveshe, ovo mwa ongala pamwe navo, omu li omhinge naJehova. Ashike Aron oye lyelye, opo mu mu ngongotele?”

12 Lwanima, Moses okwa tuma a ifanenwe Datan naAbiram, ovanamati vaEliab, ndele ova tya: “Itatu uya ko! 13 Mbela oshinima shanafangwa, eshi we tu kufa medu tali kunguluka omashini nomaadi eenyiki u uye u tu dipaele mombuwa? Paife owa hala yo okulininga kanyamukulwa?* 14 Ino tu twala nokuli medu tali kunguluka omashini nomaadi eenyiki, ile u tu pe epya, ile oshikunino shomandjebele. Owa hala ashike okuungaunga novalumenhu ovo wa fa u li novapofi? Itatu uya ko oko!”

15 Onghee osho osha handukifa Moses neenghono, ndele ta ti kuJehova: “Ino tambula ko eendjayambo davo. Inandi va kufa nande ondongi imwe, noinandi ehameka nande oumwe womuvo.”

16 Opo nee Moses okwa tya kuKora: “Inda pamwe novayambididi voye aveshe koshipala shaJehova mongula, nye navo nosho yo Aron. 17 Keshe umwe na kufe oshikwatelwa shaye shomundilo, ndele ta tula po oitwimifo, nakeshe umwe na yandje oshikwatelwa shaye shomundilo koshipala shaJehova, oikwatelwa yomundilo 250, notave ke i yandja pamwe naave naAron, keshe umwe e na oshikwatelwa shaye shomundilo.” 18 Onghee keshe umwe okwa kufa oshikwatelwa shaye shomundilo, ndele tava tula po omundilo noitwimifo, nokufikama poshivelo shetwali lokwoongalela pamwe naMoses naAron. 19 Eshi Kora a ongaleka ovayambididi vaye, ovo navo ve li omhinge naMoses naAron, poshivelo shetwali lokwoongalela, oshinge shaJehova osha holokela Ovaisrael aveshe.

20 Jehova okwa lombwela Moses naAron, a ti: 21 “Liyoololeni mo mokati kOvaisrael ovo, opo ndi va hanaune po meendelelo.” 22 Onghee ove linyongamena pedu, ndele tava ti: “Kalunga, Kalunga oo a yandja omwenyo kovanhu aveshe,* mbela enyono lomunhu umwe otali ku ningifa u handukile ovanhu aveshe ovo?”

23 Jehova okwa tya kuMoses: 24 “Popya nOvaisrael u va lombwele kutya, ‘Djeni po popepi netwali laKora, laDatan nolaAbiram!’”

25 Opo nee Moses okwa fikama, ndele ta i kuDatan naAbiram, novakulunhu vaIsrael ova ya pamwe naye. 26 Okwa lombwela ongudu a ti: “Alikana, djeni po pomatwali ovalumenhu ovo ovakolokoshi, noinamu kwata oshinima shavo keshe, opo muha hanaunwe po omolwomanyono avo aeshe.” 27 Diva ova dja po petwali laKora, laDatan nolaAbiram keembinga adishe, na Datan naAbiram ova dja mo, ndele tava fikama poivelo yomatwali avo, pamwe novakulukadi vavo, ovanamati vavo nounona vavo.

28 Opo nee Moses okwa tya: “Kungaho otamu ka shiiva kutya Jehova oye a tuma nge ndi longe oinima aishe oyo, ndele inashi dja komutima wange mwene:* 29 Ngeenge ovanhu ava ova fi ngaashi ovanhu aveshe hava fi, nongeenge ova handukilwa ngaashi ovanhu aveshe, osha yela kutya Jehova ina tuma nge. 30 Ashike ngeenge Jehova okwe va ningile oshinima shikumwifi, ndele edu tali makula okanya kalo noku va pona po nosho yo oinima yavo aishe, ndele tava i nomwenyo mOmbila,* otamu ka shiiva filufilu kutya ovalumenhu ovo kava li va fimaneka Jehova.”

31 Diva eshi a mana okupopya eendjovo adishe odo, edu opo va li ola makuka. 32 Onghee edu ola makula okanya kalo noku va pona po pamwe nomaukwaneumbo avo nosho yo aveshe ovo va ama kombinga yaKora noinima yavo aishe. 33 Onghee ovanhu ovo naaveshe ovo va ama kombinga yavo, ova ya nomwenyo mOmbila,* nedu ole va uvika nova xulifwa po mokati keongalo. 34 Ovaisrael aveshe ovo va li ve va dingilila ova faduka po tava kuu, tava ti: “Otwa tila kutya pamwe edu otali tu pona po!” 35 Opo nee kuJehova okwa dja omundilo, ndele tau lungwinifa po ovalumenhu 250, ovo va li ve uya okuyamba oitwimifo.

36 Jehova okwa tya kuMoses: 37 “Lombwela Eliaser, omonamati womupristeri Aron, a kufe mo oikwatelwa yomundilo momundilo, molwaashi oiyapuki. Mu lombwela yo a ekeleshi omundilo oo kokule. 38 Oikwatelwa yomundilo yovalumenhu ovo va nyona, enyono olo la kanififa eemwenyo davo,* oi na okuhambulwa moipapa ya pepuka, opo i natekwe koaltari, molwaashi ove i yandja koshipala shaJehova noya ninga iyapuki. Oi na okukala edidiliko kOvaisrael.” 39 Onghee omupristeri Eliaser okwa kufa oikwatelwa yomundilo yongopolo, oyo ya yandjwa kwaavo va xwikwa po, ndele te i hambula, opo i natekwe koaltari, 40 ngaashi ashike Jehova a li e mu lombwela okupitila muMoses. Osha li edimbulukifo kOvaisrael kutya omunhu keshe oo ehe na epitikilo,* oo ehe fi womoludalo laAron, ke na oku ka xwika oitwimifo koshipala shaJehova, nokape na umwe e na okukala ngaashi Kora novayambididi vaye.

41 Mefiku la shikula ko, ongudu aishe yOvaisrael oya hovela okungongotela Moses naAron, tai ti: “Nye vavali omwa dipaifa ovanhu vaJehova.” 42 Ongudu oyo ya li ya ongala pamwe i li omhinge naMoses naAron, eshi ya piluka ya taalela ketwali lokwoongalela, tala, oshilemo oshe li uvika, noshinge shaJehova osha holoka.

43 Moses naAron ova ya komesho yetwali lokwoongalela, 44 na Jehova okwa tya kuMoses: 45 “Ovalumenhu nye, liyoololeni mo mokati kongudu oyo, opo ndi i hanaune po mepakumo leisho.” Opo nee ove linyongamena pedu. 46 Moses okwa tya kuAron: “Kufa oshikwatelwa shomundilo, ndele to tula mo omundilo wa dja koaltari nokutula mo oitwimifo, ndele to i divadiva kongudu noku i koshola, molwaashi ehandu laJehova ole uya. Ehandukilo ola hovela!” 47 Opo nee Aron okwe shi kufa ngaashi Moses a li e mu lombwela, ndele ta tondokele mokati keongalo, ndele tala, ehandukilo ola hovela mokati kovanhu. Onghee okwa tula oitwimifo moshikwatelwa shomundilo, ndele ta hovele okukoshola ovanhu. 48 Okwa kala a fikama pokati kovafi novanamwenyo, opo nee ehandu ola lota. 49 Ovo va fya omolwehandukilo ove fike po 14 700, kakele kaavo va fya omolwaKora. 50 Eshi ehandukilo la lota, Aron okwa shuna kuMoses poshivelo shetwali lokwoongalela.
