Chapter 16

1 Ke kaloku uKora, unyana kaItsare, unyana kaKehati, unyana kaLevi, noDatan noAbhiram oonyana bakaEliyabhi, no-On unyana kaPelete, oonyana bakaRubhen,
2 bathabatha amadoda angamakhulu amabini, anamanci mahlanu, akoonyana bakaSirayeli, izikhulu zebandla ezanyulwa yintlanganiso, amadoda anodumo; bavukelana noMoses.
3 Babizelana ndawonye ngoMoses nangoAron, bathi kubo, Nisenanele nina, ngokuba lingcwele lonke ibandla, bonke bephela; uYehova uphakathi kwabo. Yini na ukuba niziphakamise phezu kwesikhungu sikaYehova?
4 Weva uMoses, wawa ngobuso.
5 Wathetha kuKora nakwibandla lakhe lonke, esithi, Ngomso uYehova uya kwazisa ongowakhe, ongcwele, amsondeze kuye, lowo amnyulileyo womsondeza kuye.
6 Yenzani oku: zithabatheleni iingcedevu, wena Kora nebandla lakho lonke,
7 nibeke umlilo kuzo, nibeke isiqhumiso phezu kwazo phambi koYehova ngomso. Kothi, umntu athe uYehova wamnyula abe ngcwele yena; senanele nina, nyana bakaLevi.
8 Wathi uMoses kuKora, Khanive, nina nyana bakaLevi.
9 Yinto encinane na kuni, ukuba uThixo kaSirayeli anahlule kwibandla lakwaSirayeli, anisondeze kuye, ukubanisebenze umsebenzi womnquba kaYehova, nime phambi kwebandla, nilungiselele kubo,
10 ekusondezile nje wena nabazalwana bakho bonke, oonyana bakaLevi ndawonye nawe? Nifuna kwanobubingeleli na?
11 Ninani na, wena nebandla lakho lonke, le nto nihlangana ngoYehova? Ke uAron uyintoni na yena, ukuba nimkrokrele?
12 Wathuma uMoses, wabiza uDatan noAbhiram oonyana bakaEliyabhi. Bathi, Asiyi kunyuka size.
13 Yinto encinane na le yokuba usinyuse ezweni elibaleka amasi nobusi, uze kusibulala apha entlango, le nto uhlala uzenze umphathi phezu kwethu?
14 Kananjalo akusingenisanga ezweni elibaleka amasi nobusi, akusinikanga lifa lamasimi nazidiliya; uya kuwakrukra na amehlo ala madoda? Asiyi kunyuka size.
15 Wavutha kunene umsindo kaMoses, wathi kuYehova, Musa ukuwubheka umnikelo wabo wokudla. Andithabathanga ne-esile elinye kubo, andiphathanga kakubi namnye wabo.
16 Wathi uMoses kuKora, Wena nebandla lakho lonke, ze nibe phambi koYehova, wena nabo noAron, ngomso;
17 nithabathe elowo ugcedevu lwakhe, nibeke isiqhumiso phezu kwazo, nisondeze phambi koYehova, elowo abe nogcedevu lwakhe, iingcedevu ezimakhulu mabini anamanci mahlanu; nawe noAron elowo abenogcedevu lwakhe.
18 Bathabatha ke elowo ugcedevu lwakhe, babeka umlilo kuzo, babeka isiqhumiso phezu kwazo, bema emnyango wentente yokuhlangana noMoses noAron.
19 UKora walibizela ndawonye ngabo ibandla lonke emnyango wentente yokuhlangana. Babonakala ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova kwibandla lonke.
20 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses nakuAron, esithi,
21 Zahluleni kweli bandla; ndiya kubagqibela ngephanyazo.
22 Bawa ngobuso, bathi, Thixo, Thixo woomoya benyama yonke, kone umntu wamnye nje, unoburhalarhume kwibandla lonke na?
23 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
24 Thetha kwibandla, uthi, Sukani nimke ngeenxa zonke emzini kaKora noDatan noAbhiram.
25 Wesuka uMoses, waya kuDatan noAbhiram; amlandela amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli.
26 Wathetha kwibandla esithi, Mkani ezintenteni zala madoda angendawo, ningachukumisi nto iyeyawo, hleze niphetshethwe ngezono zawo zonke.
27 Benyuka ke, bemka emzini kaKora noDatan noAbhiram ngeenxa zonke. OoDatan noAbhiram bema emnyango weentente zabo, nabafazi babo, noonyana babo, neentsatshana zabo.
28 Wathi uMoses, Niya kwazi ngale nto, ukuba uYehova undithumele ukwenza yonke le misebenzi; ngokuba asiyantliziyo yam.
29 Ukuba aba bathe bafa ngokufa kwabantu bonke, nokuba bathe bavelelwa ngokuvelelwa kwabantu bonke, woba uYehova akandithumanga.
30 Ke ukuba uYehova uthe wenza isimanga, umhlaba wakhamisa umlomo wawo, wabaginya, nento yonke abanayo, behla besaphilile baya kwelabafileyo, noqonda ngoko ukuba la madoda amgibile uYehova.
31 Kwathi, ukugqiba kwakhe ukuwathetha onke la mazwi, wacandeka umhlaba obuphantsi kwabo;
32 umhlaba wawuvula umlomo wawo, wabaginya, nezindlu zabo, nabantu bonke bakaKora, nempahla yabo yonke.
33 Behla bona besaphilile, nento yonke abanayo, baya kwelabafileyo, umhlaba wabaselela, batshabalala, ababakho phakathi kwesikhungu.
34 Onke amaSirayeli abebangqongile abalekiswa sisithonga sesikhalo sabo; ngokuba abesithi, Hleze umhlaba usiginye nathi.
35 Kwaphuma umlilo kuYehova, wawadla amadoda angamakhulu amabini anamanci mahlanu, asondeza isiqhumiso.
36 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
37 Yitsho kuElazare, unyana ka-Aron umbingeleli, azichole iingcedevu eluvundwini, wena uwuchithachithele kude umlilo, ngokuba zingcwele.
38 Iingcedevu zabo bonayo ngakwimiphefumlo yabo, ize nizenze izixwexwe ezicekethekileyo zokwaleka isibingelelo; ngokuba bazisondeza phambi koYehova zangcwaliswa. Zoba ngumqondiso koonyana bakaSirayeli.
39 Wazithabatha ke uElazare umbingeleli iingcedevu zobhedu, ababezisondezile abo batshiswayo, zakhandwa, zaba zezokwaleka isibingelelo.
40 Yaba sisikhumbuzo eso koonyana bakaSirayeli, ukuze kungasondeli ndoda yasemzini, ingengowembewu ka-Aron, iqhumisele ngesiqhumiso phambi koYehova, ukuze ingabi njengoKora nanjengebandla lakhe, njengoko uYehova wathethayo kuye ngoMoses.
41 Lamkrokrela uMoses noAron ngengomso lonke ibandla loonyana bakaSirayeli, lisithi, Nina nibabulele abantu bakaYehova.
42 Kwathi ekubizelweni ndawonye kwebandla ngoMoses nangoAron, babheka ententeni yokuhlangana. Nalo ilifu liyisibekele babonakala ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova.
43 Beza ooMoses noAron phambi kwentente yokuhlangana.
44 Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi,
45 Sukani phakathi kweli bandla, ndiligqibele ngephanyazo. Bawa ngobuso.
46 Wathi uMoses kuAron, Luthabathe ugcedevu, ubeke umlilo phezu kwalo ovela esibingelelweni, ubeke isiqhumiso, ukhawuleze uye ebandleni, ubacamagushele; kuba kuphume uburhalarhume ebusweni bukaYehova, siqalile isibetho.
47 Wathabatha ke uAron njengoko uMoses wathethayo, wabalekela phakathi kwesikhungu; naso isibetho siqalile ebantwini. Wabeka isiqhumiso, wabacamagushela abantu.
48 Wema phakathi kwabafileyo nabahleliyo; sathintelwa ke isibetho.
49 Abo bafayo sisibetho baba lishumi elinesine lamawaka anamakhulu asixhenxe, ngaphandle kwabafayo ngendawo yakwaKora.
50 Wabuyela uAron kuMoses emnyango wentente yokuhlangana; isibetho sathintelwa ke.
