(Kulawa 9:6-29)
1 Wanhu lowawene Musa nakakawila kuhiluka kulawila kuchidunda, nawekungajiza hali Aluni na kumlonjela, “Lole, utugongomanyile jimalukolo ja milungu jojitulongoza. Mina hatuvizelele gamfichile ayo Musa yatulavile kuli isi ya Misili.”
2 Aluni nakawedichila, “Mhole vipuli vya zahabu mmakutu ga wadala wa hemwe na wana wa hemwe, mndigalile.”
3 Lelo wanhu weng'ha nawalavya vipuli vyeng'ha vya zahabu mmakutu mwa hewo, nawamigalila Aluni.
4 Na heye nakavihola kavihemsa mbaka visungumluka, nakadita limalukolo lya ilogota ilume lya kuponda. Wanhu nawalonga, “Gwaa Isilaeli, ayu ndo mlungu wa hetwe yatulavile kuli isi ya Misili.”
5 Aluni naloyawene ahyo, nakalizenjela limalukolo alyo ilogota ilume honhu ha kulavila nhambiko, kahi nakadamla, “Mitondo kowa na mnvina kwa chiwalo cha Mkulu Nguluwi.”
6 Mitondo wanhu nawalilimka lufuku nawalavya nhambiko za kulakazwa na nhambiko ya kikala goya. Wanhu nawekala hasi kulya na kunwa, hamba nawema na kuvina.
7 Mkulu Nguluwi nakamlonjela Musa, “Uduliche hanyi mina wanhu wa hegwe uwegalile kulawila isi ya Misili wekovulila wawo,
8 waileka yila nzila yondiwalajize, weditila ilogota ilume lya kuponda, na hewo walifugamila na kulilavila nhambiko wolonga, ‘Gwaa Isilaeli, ayu ndo mlungu wa hetwe yatulavile isi ya Misili!’ ”
9 Mkulu Nguluwi nakamlonjela Musa, “Ndiwazela wanhu awa, hewo wana nhumbula zigagadale.
10 Sambi, uleche kujeza kundemeza. Undeche ndiwadumye kwa kuzudila ng'hatu, leka kulawila kwa hegwe ndodita nhanzi ng'hulu.”
11 Ila Musa nakamdedeza Mkulu Nguluwi, Nguluwi wa heye, nakalonga, “Gwaa Mkulu Nguluwi, lekachoni kuzudila kwa hegwe kwangwaka lukami kwa wanhu wa hegwe, uwalavile kuli isi ya Misili kwa ludali lukulu na moko uwele na mong'ho?
12 Houdita ahyo, ndangukomya Wamisili wolonga, ‘Nakawalavya Misili kwa kugana kwihile leka yawakopolele kuchidunda na kuwabagamiza ng'hatu muisi.’ Gwaa Mkulu Nguluwi, usindamale na kuleka mbuli ayo yihile youlingugana kudita kwa wanhu wa hegwe.
13 Uwakumbuche vitumagwa wa hegwe, Abulahamu na Isaka na Isilaeli wawele uwalahile gwegwe baho, ulonga, ‘Ndowonjezela walelwa wa hemwe kota nhondwe za kilanga na isi ayi yondilagane na hewo kota ndowapa lulelo lwenu waihalile mazuwa gose.’ ”
14 Lelo Mkulu Nguluwi nakaleka kuwaditila wanhu wa heye mbuli yihile nayawele yalonjile.
15 Hamba Musa nakedulika kulawila kuchidunda yawele na vibao vili vya ulolezi mmoko mwa heye, vyandichigwe mizilo ja Nguluwi banzi zeng'ha.
16 Vibao avyo navyali mijito ya Nguluwi na gandichigwe ago nakandika Nguluwi yuye.
17 Yoshua loyahuliche iyowe lya wanhu, nakamlonjela Musa, “Kuna iyowe lya ngondo kuli kambi.”
18 Ila Musa nakamwidichila, “Haliwele iyowe lya kusumya ama kulemwela, ila iyowe lyoulinguhulika ndo iyowe lya wanhu walingwimba.”
19 Baho du loyahejelele kambi nalowaliwene lila ilogota ilume na wanhu wovina, baho du Musa nakazudila ng'hatu, nakavitaga hasi vila vibao vya ulolezi kulawila kuli moko ga heye na kuvibena hala hasi ha chidunda.
20 Lelo nakalihola lila ilogota ilume, nakalisoma kwa chiluli, nakalihondanga mbaka liwa mivu, nakatijiliza mivu jila kuli mazi na kuwakola lupichi Waisilaeli wanwe.
21 Musa nakamuuza Aluni, “Nawakudita choni wanhu awa mbaka uwalongoze kuli mbuli yihile ng'hulu kota ayo?”
22 Aluni nakamwidichila, “Ndangukulanda hegwe mkulu wa heni, uleche kuzudila. Kuwazela wanhu awa vyowemile goya kuli kudita wihe.
23 Nawoya nakundonjela, ‘Tuditile milungu jojitulongoza kwa vila hatuvizelele gamfichile ayo Musa yatulavile muisi ya Misili.’
24 Nani ndiwalonjela chila yumwe yawele na vipuli vya zahabu nayegale. Lelo wengalila, nani ndivisungulumla mchiluli na ali ilogota ilume nalilawila.”
25 Lelo Musa loyawene kota wanhu nawabelenhuka na kudita vyowaganile kwa vila Aluni nakawakundiza kudita vyowaganile na kigalila soni hali wang'honyo wa hewo.
26 Musa nakema hali lwizi lwa kambi na kuuza, “Yalihi yawele ubanzi wa Mkulu Nguluwi? Yeze kwa heni.” Wana weng'ha wa Lawi nawekungajiza hamwe hali heye.
27 Nakawalonjela, “Mkulu Nguluwi, Nguluwi wa Isilaeli, kangulonga ahi, ‘Chila munhu yekowele ipanga lya heye mchuno, yazungulute chila honhu hali kambi, kulawila lwizi lumwe kuza luyage hali kambi na chila yumwe yamkopole mng'holoze na yowalingigana na yowalingikalasa habehi.’ ”
28 Wana wa Lawi nawadita kota Musa navyoyawalajize. Zuwa alyo nawakopoligwa wanhu wafichile elufu zidatu.
29 Musa nakalonga, “Lehano, mwemwe baho miwika kwa mijito yelile kumkolela mijito Mkulu Nguluwi, kwa vila hamlechile kitwanza na wana wa hemwe ama wang'holozenu. Nguluwi kanguwatambichiza hemwe lehano.”
Musa kanguwalandila Waisilaeli
30 Mitondo iyaje Musa nakawalonjela wanhu, “Mdita gehile vikulu ng'hatu! Lelo ndomlutila Mkulu Nguluwi kuchanya kuchidunda, hanji ndoweza kuwaditila hemwe uhanyisi.”
31 Ahyo Musa nakahiluka kwa Mkulu Nguluwi, nakamlonjela, “Ndangisinza! Wanhu awa wadita gehile vikulu ng'hatu, weditila wawo mlungu wa zahabu.
32 Ila lelo, ndangukulanda uwosele gehile ga hewo. Wone huwosele, ndangukudedeza umbuse heni mli chitabu cha hegwe nachowandiche matagwa ga wanhu wa hegwe.”
33 Ila Mkulu Nguluwi nakamlonjela Musa, “Ndomusa mli chitabu cha heni munhu yoneche yaditile gehile.
34 Ila sambi ulute ukawalongoze wanhu mbaka honhu hondikulonjele. Ulole, mhilisi wa heni kokulongola. Ila, zuwa hondikuya kwa hewo, ndowagaza kwa chiwalo cha gehile ga hewo.”
35 Mkulu Nguluwi nakawahilichila wanhu utamwa wihile, kwa vila nawamlanda Aluni yawaditile lila ilogota ilume lya zahabu.
