Ovanthu aveho ovakwa-ukola,+ aveho-aveho, Siovaa uli pokati kavo.+ Omokonda yatyi mulipakela koutumini muhongolele ovanthu va Siovaa?”

4 Mwisesi wati vala tyivee, elipupika-po. 5 Pahe atolela Kolaa, novanthu aveho vahula kwe, eveti: “Muhuka komuhuka, Siovaa malekesa olie tyili-tyili omunthu wae,+ olie ukola, olie una okufwena pwe.+ Ou amakoyo-po,+ oe mafwena-fwena kwe. 6 Pahe tyitie umwe noove Kolaa, novanthu aveho vokwahula kwoove,+ lingei ñgaa: kwatei onoseke-seke+ mbotupia, 7 tyina tyiti komuhuka, pakei-po otupia nombao, muyokele Siovaa. Omunthu Siovaa amakoyo-po,+ oe ukola. Vana va Levii,+ oko mwaya okokule!”

8 Pahe Mwisesi atolela Kolaa, ati: “Vana va Levii, tehelelei kuno mbaa. 9 Onwe musoka okuti etyi Huku yova Isilayeli alinga tyokukoya-po vala onwe pova Isilayeli aveho,+ ngaanwe vala ayeka mufwene ponthele yae, okulinga ovilinga viomekaka lya Siovaa, amuundapela ovanthu aveho, otyitutu?+ 10 Soka wemuyeka, noove, novakulu vove vomuhoko wa Levii mufwene ponthele yae. Pahe mwahanda ounakwa ulinge wenyi mwene?+ 11 Otyipuka otyo mwalinga, noove novanthu aveho vahula kwoove, veliongiya, mwayala Siovaa. Pahe Alau mutañgunisa, olie?”+

12 Etyi pakala, Mwisesi, aihana ovo Ndataa na Ambilau+ ovana va Eliyambe. Mahi ngwe avati: “Onthwe kamatuya! 13 Wati hamwe etyi wetupola kotyilongo tyomahini, nowiki, otweeta tuye okunkhila moluhandya muno+ walinga nawa? Pahe uhanda okulipaka koutumini tulifefe kwoove?* 14 Ove wiivala okuti motwaavela otyilongo tyomahini nowiki!+ Pahe tyili-pi? Kwetwaavelele omapia, nii omiti vionouva! Wahanda okuhika ovanthu komaiho! Onthwe kamatuya-le oko!”

15 Mwisesi ankhi ononyengo, apopila Siovaa ati: “Koviawa viavo viovilia nii wahatale-ko. Ame hevepolele natyike, nii vala otyimbulu, nii ndyitupu nawike puvo nalinga onya.”+

16 Mwisesi pahe atolela Kolaa, ati: “Muhuka muna okuya ku Siovaa, noove novanthu aveho vokwahula kwoove. Tyitie noove, navo, na Alau, muna okuya. 17 Munthu na munthu akwate oseke-seke yae yotupia, apake-ko ombao, amweeta onoseke-seke mbenyi ambuho ku Siovaa, mbuna 250. Muya amuho, noove na Alau, tyatyinda onoseke-seke mbenyi.” 18 Avakwate onoseke-seke mbavo, avapake-ko otupia nombao, avatalama pombundi yohinge yomaliongiyo, navo na Mwisesi na Alau. 19 Etyi Kolaa aongiya aveho vokwahula kwe,+ aveho-aveho, kombundi yohinge yomaliongiyo, omunkhima wa Siovaa, auya, aumoneka kovanthu aveho.+

20 Ovo Mwisesi na Alau, Siovaa eveti: 21 “Ovanthu ovo vehondovokei. Mandyivenyimi-ko aveho tyahasete.”+ 22 Okwiiva otyo, avelipetamena-po, avati: “Ove Huku, Huku yomphepo yovanthu aveho,*+ monumanena umwe ovanthu ava aveho+ monkhali ya wike vala?”

23 Siovaa apopila Mwisesi, ati: 24 “Tolela ovanthu aveho, uti: ‘Vahondovoke ponohinge mbovo Kolaa na Ndataa na Ambilau!’”+

25 Pahe Mwisesi akatuka, aende kovo Ndataa na Ambilau. Ovakulu+ ova Isilayeli avemulandula. 26 Mwisesi atolela ovanthu aveho, ati: “Vehondovokei mbaa! Hondovokei ponohinge mbovanthu ava onondingavivi, mwahayamei kotyipuka natyike tyavo, opo onwe mwahaipawe mokonda yonkhali yavo.” 27 Ovanthu aveho avahondovoka ponohinge mbovo Kolaa na Ndataa na Ambilau. Ngwe ovo Ndataa na Ambilau, monohinge mbavo avalupuka-mo, avakalela vala pombundi, navo novakai vavo novana vavo vokwekula, novatutu vatyo.

28 Mwisesi ati: “Etyi matyimunoñgonokesa okuti, Siovaa oe wanthuma ndyilinge ovipuka evi aviho. Helihindile vala andyike nomutima wange.* 29 Ine ovanthu ava vankhia vala ngeetyi ovanthu vankhia-le, avamoneswa vala ononkhumbi ngo ombu ovanthu vehole-ale okumona, opo nkhwali ha Siovaa-ko wanthuma.+ 30 Mahi ine Siovaa uveetela ovihuna, eheke aliyuhama,* alivenyini-po, navo novipuka viavo aviho, avai nomwenyo Kondyembo,* onwe mamutyimono umwe nawa okuti, ovanthu ava kavalingile Siovaa onthilo.”

31 Kamanene-ale okupopia, eheke aliikuka ponomphai mbavo apa valiatela.+ 32 Eheke aliyuhama, alivenyini-po, navo nomaumbo avo, novanthu aveho vahula ku Kolaa,+ novipuka viavo aviho. 33 Aveho umwe, navo na vana vahula kuvo, avaende Kondyembo* nomwenyo. Eheke alivenyini-po, pokati ka vakwavo, aveho avavombo-po.+ 34 Etyi vahimbika okuliyavela, ova Isilayeli aveho avatili owoma, avakahateka, avati: “Eheke noonthwe malitunyini-po!” 35 Ku Siovaa+ akutundu otupia, atwiipaa ovalume 250 vayoka ombao.+

36 Siovaa pahe atolela Mwisesi, ati: 37 “Tolela Eliyasale omona womunakwa Alau, uti apole onoseke-seke potupia,+ mokonda mbukola. Tupu mupopila, apole-po etwe elitwala kokule, elihanyaikisa. 38 Onoseke-seke mbovalume vokwakwata onkhali, avafete-po omwenyo wavo,* mbuna okunthilwa otyivela tyahanduka nawa, ambuvandekwa komutala wovilikutila,+ mokonda vembweetele ku Siovaa, pahe nambo mbukola. Mbuna okulingwa ngootyo, opo ova Isilayeli valondokele-ko.”+ 39 Omunakwa Eliyasale, apolo onoseke-seke mbuna mbotyitasu, mbaetelwe novalume vokwapila motupia, embunthili otyivela tyahanduka nawa, mbupakwe komutala wovilikutila, 40 ngeetyi Siovaa atumine etyi apopia na Mwisesi. Otyo tyilondola ova Isilayeli vahalimbwe-ko okuti, nawike omunthu wahatuminwe,* wahatukile momuhoko wa Alau, ufwena pu Siovaa,+ ayoko ombao. Tupu tyivehinangelesa okuti, kavapondola okulinga nga Kolaa, nii ngeetyi tyalinga ovanthu vana vahulile kwe.+

41 Muhuka tyee, ova Isilayeli aveho, avahimbika okutañgunisa ovo Mwisesi na Alau,+ avati: “Onwe umwe vevali mwaipaa ovanthu va Siovaa.” 42 Etyi ovanthu aveho velipaka kumwe, avahimbika okuyayesa ovo Mwisesi na Alau, tyina vakati ñgana, ohinge yomaliongiyo yahikwa nekaka, omunkhima wa Siovaa aumoneka.+

43 Ava, ovo Mwisesi na Alau, avakaya no kohinge yomaliongiyo,+ 44 Siovaa apopila Mwisesi ati: 45 “Onwe tundei-po pokati kovanthu ava, mandyiveipaa pehepano.”+ Okwiiva otyo, avelipetamena-po.+ 46 Mwisesi atolela Alau, ati: “Kwata oseke-seke opake-ko otupia two komutala,+ opake-ko ombao, hateka.+ Vekoha konkhali, Siovaa wankhia onyengo, ovihuna viahimbika-le!” 47 Alau akwate oseke-seke ngeetyi Mwisesi emutuma, ahateka, aende pokati kovanthu. Mahi ovanthu vahimbika-le okumona ovihuna. Apake ombao koseke-seke, ahimbika okukoha ovanthu konkhali. 48 Atalama pokati kovanthu vokwankhia-le no vokuna omwenyo, ovihuna avipoleya. 49 Vokwankhila movihuna ovio, vena 14.700, vayawisa ko vokwankhia kombanda ya Kolaa. 50 Pahe etyi Alau akondoka ku Mwisesi, pombundi yohinge yomaliongiyo, ovihuna viatalama-le.
