UMiriyamu no-Aroni Bamelana noMose
UMiriyamu no-Aroni bathi bakhulumela uBaba wethu njengoba nje kwenza uMose. Uyabaphendula ukuthi kuMose ukhuluma umlomo nomlomo, hhayi ngamazwi afihlekile. UMiriyamu uphuma enesifo; ngokushesha uMose uncenga ukuba aphiliswe, futhi lonke ikamu lilinda izinsuku eziyisikhombisa.
12 1UMiriyamu no-Aroni bakhuluma bemelene noMose ngenxa yowesifazane waseKushi ayemganile—wayeganwe ngumfazi waseKushi. 2Bathi: “Kanti uBaba wethu ukhulume ngoMose kuphela na? Akakhulumanga nangathi na?” UBaba wethu wakuzwa lokho.
3Manje umuntu uMose wayethobeke kakhulu, ngaphezu kwabo bonke abantu ebusweni bomhlaba.
4Ngokuzumayo uBaba wethu wathi kuMose, no-Aroni, noMiriyamu: “Phumani nina nobathathu, niye etendeni lokuhlangana.” Bobathathu baphuma.
5UBaba wethu wehla ngensika yefu, wema emnyango wetende, wabiza u-Aroni noMiriyamu, bobabili basondela.
6Wathi: “Zwanini amazwi ami: uma umprofethi ekhona phakathi kwenu, mina, uBaba wenu, ngizibonakalisa kuye ngombono, ngikhulume kuye ngephupho. 7Akunjalo ngenceku yami uMose; uthembekile endlini yami yonke. 8Ngikhuluma naye umlomo nomlomo, ngokucacile hhayi ngamafumbe, ubona isimo sikaBaba wethu. Pho kungani ningesabanga ukukhuluma nimelene nenceku yami uMose?”
9Ngakho ulaka lukaBaba wethu lwabavuthela, wamuka.
10Kwathi lapho ifu lisuka phezu kwetende, bheka uMiriyamu wayenochoko, emhlophe njengeqhwa. U-Aroni waphendukela kuMiriyamu, bheka, enochoko. 11U-Aroni wathi kuMose: “Ngiyakucela, nkosi yami, ungasibeki icala lesono sobuwula bethu nokona kwethu. 12Ungamvumeli abe njengomntwana ozelwe efile, inyama yakhe isidliwe uhhafu lapho ephuma esiswini sikanina.”
13UMose wakhala kuBaba wethu, wathi: “Ngiyakucela, Baba wami, ngiyakucela umphilise!”
14Kodwa uBaba wethu wathi kuMose: “Uma uyise ebemkhafulele ebusweni nje, ubengeke yini abe nehlazo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa na? Makavalelwe ngaphandle kwekamu izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; emva kwalokho ambuyiswe.”
15UMiriyamu wavalelwa ngaphandle kwekamu izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; abantu abasukanga kwaze kwaba yilapho ebuyiswa. 16Emva kwalokho abantu basuka eHaseroti bamisa ehlane lasePharanu.
