Numeri

12 UMiriyamu no-Aroni bakhuluma kumbi ngoMosi ngebanga lokuthi uthethe umfazi omKutjhe.+ 2 Bathi: “Kghani uJehova usebenzise uMosi kwaphela bona akhulume nabantu? Thina akhenge asisebenzise na bona akhulume nabantu?”+ UJehova bekalalele.+ 3 UMosi bekathobeke ukudlula boke abantu+ ephasini.

4 Khonokho uJehova wathi kuMosi, ku-Aroni noMiriyamu: “Khambani nobathathu nje niye etendeni lokuhlangana.” Nje-ke bakhamba. 5 UJehova wehla ngesika yelifu+ wajama ebungenweni betende wabiza u-Aroni noMiriyamu. Bobabili beza ngaphambili. 6 Wathi: “Ngilalelani. Nangabe bekunomphorofidi kaJehova hlangana nani, bengizoziveza kuye embonweni+ begodu bengizokukhuluma naye ebhudangweni.+ 7 Kodwana akusinjalo ngencekwami uMosi! Yena ngimphathise yoke indlwami.*+ 8 Ngikhuluma naye bunqopha+ ingasi ngeenrarejo, uJehova ubonakala kuye. Alo, kubayini ningakhenge nisabe ukukhuluma kumbi ngencekwami uMosi?”

9 Nje-ke uJehova wasilingeka khulu ngebanga labo, wakhamba. 10 Ilifu lasuka ngehla kwetende begodu uMiriyamu bekabethwe ngobulepheru obumhlophe njengegabhogo.+ U-Aroni wajika waqala uMiriyamu wambona abethwe ngobulepheru.+ 11 Khonokho u-Aroni wathi kuMosi: “Ngiyakuncenga kosami! Ngibawa ungasijezisi ngebanga lesono esisenzileko. Koke esikwenzileko kubudlhadlha. 12 Ngibawa ungamlisi abe njengomuntu ohlongakeleko, obelethwe ingcenye yenyamakhe seyonakele.” 13 UMosi walila kuJehova wathi: “Maye! Zimu ngiyakubawa mpholise. Ngiyakubawa.”+

14 UJehova wathi kuMosi: “Nange uyise angamkhafulela ebusweni, angekhe na ahlaziseka amalanga alikhomba? Akahlaliswe yedwa amalanga alikhomba ngaphandle kwekampa,+ ngemva kwalokho uzakubuya.” 15 Nje-ke uMiriyamu wahlaliswa yedwa ngaphandle kwekampa amalanga alikhomba,+ abantu akhenge bafuduse ikampa bekwaba kulapho uMiriyamu abuyiswa ekampeni. 16 Ngemva kwalokho, abantu basuka eRhatserothi+ bayokukampa emmangweni weParana.+
