Mbumba yonsene ndi yakucena, onsene ene, pontho Baba wathu ali pakati pawo. Thangwi yanji musadzikuza pa mpingo wa Baba wathu?”
4Mose pidabva iye pyenepi, agwa pantsi, nkhope yace pantsi. 5Iye alonga kuna Kora na nsoka wace onsene, tenepa: “Namacibese, Baba wathu anadzapangiza kuti mbani ndi wace na mbani ndi wakucena, mban'fendedzesa kuna Iye.

Aroni—iye ndi ninji, toera imwe kun'dungunyira?”
12Mose atumiza anthu toera kucemera Datani na Abirami, ana a Eliabi. Mbwenye iwo alonga tenepa: “Ife nkhabe kudzakwira! 13Kodi nkhabe kukwana kuti watibulusa m'dziko yakudzala na nkaka na uci toera kutipha n'thando, kuti usafunika pontho kutitonga? 14Pontho, iwe hudatipitisa m'dziko yakudzala na nkaka na uci tayu, nee kutipasa minda na minda ya mauva ninga unthaka. Kodi unafuna kuboola maso a amuna awa? Ife nkhabe kudzakwira!”
15Mose aipirwa kakamwe, mbalonga kuna Baba wathu, tenepa: “Lekani kutambira ntsembe yawo. Ine nee ndakwata buru m'bodzi kuna iwo, nee ndacitira m'bodzi wawo pyakuipa.”
16Mose apanga Kora, tenepa: “Imwe na nsoka wanu onsene, dziperekeni pamaso pa Baba wathu mangwana—imwe, iwo, na Aroni. 17Munthu m'bodzi na m'bodzi akwate combo cace ca ubani, mbaikha ubani padzulu pace, mbabwera naco pamaso pa Baba wathu—pyombo 250 pya ubani—imwe na Aroni, m'bodzi na m'bodzi na combo cace.”
18Munthu m'bodzi na m'bodzi akwata combo cace, mbaikha moto nkati mwace na kuikha ubani padzulu pace, mbalimira pabodzi na Mose na Aroni pansuwo wa Tenti yakugumanyikana. 19Kora agumanya mbumba yonsene toera kulimbana nawo pansuwo wa Tenti yakugumanyikana; mbiri ya Baba wathu ionekera kuna mbumba yonsene.
20Na tenepo Baba wathu alonga na Mose na Aroni, tenepa:
21“Bulukani pa mbumba iyi, toera Ine ndiamalise mwakucimbiza.”
22Mose na Aroni agwa pantsi, nkhope yawo pantsi, mbalira tenepa: “Baba wathu, Baba wa mizimu ya manungo onsene—munthu m'bodzi angadawa, kodi munadzaipirwa na mbumba yonsene?” 23Na tenepo Baba wathu apanga Mose, tenepa:
24“Panga mbumba, tenepa: Bulukani kutali na nyumba za Kora, Datani, na Abirami.”
25Na tenepo Mose alamuka mbaenda kuna Datani na Abirami, akulu a Izarayeli ambalondola. 26Iye apanga mbumba, tenepa: “Bulukani pa mitsasa ya amuna awa akuipa. Lekani kukhuya cinthu cawo, toera mungakhonde kufudzwa pabodzi na madawo awo onsene.”
27Na tenepo iwo abuluka pa mitsasa ya Kora, Datani, na Abirami ku makhundu onsene, mu ndzidzi ule Datani na Abirami abuluka panja mbalimira pansuwo pa mitsasa yawo pabodzi na akazi awo, ana awo, na anang'ono awo.
28Mose alonga tenepa: “Na pyenepi munadzadziwa kuti Baba wathu andituma toera kucita pinthu pyonsene ipi, pontho kuti nkhabe cibodzi cace cikhali manyerezero anga ene: 29Amuna awa angafa ninga munafera anthu onsene, mbacitirwa ninga pinacitika kuna anthu onsene, penepo Baba wathu nee andituma. 30Mbwenye Baba wathu angacita cinthu cipsa, mataka mbafungula mulomo wawo mbawamedza pabodzi na pinthu pyawo pyonsene, mbaenda maso m'manda, penepo imwe munadzadziwa kuti amuna awa anyozatu Baba wathu.”
31Pidamala iye kulonga pyenepi pyonsene, mataka akhali pantsi pawo agawanyika, 32mataka afungula mulomo wawo, mbawamedza, pabodzi na mabanja awo, anthu onsene a Kora, na mpfuma zawo zonsene. 33Iwo na onsene akhali awo aenda maso m'manda; mataka awafunikira, mbamala pa mpingo. 34Aizarayeli onsene akhali n'khundu mwawo athawa pidabva iwo kulira kwawo, thangwi alonga tenepa: “Panango mataka anadzatimedzambo ife!” 35Moto wabuluka kuna Baba wathu mbumala amuna 250 akhapereka ubani.
