1Kwathi lokha ama-Israyeli asahlezi eTjhithimu, amadoda athoma ukungwadla namadodakazi wakwaMowabi.
2Amadodakazi lawo awamema emihlatjelweni yabozinyana bawo. Amadoda lawo adla abe alotjha abozinyana bamadodakazi lawo.
3Ngalokho ama-Israyeli azibophelela kuBhali wePewori.
Nje-ke ilaka lakaSomnini lavutha ngama-Israyeli
4bewathi kuMosi: “Thatha boke abarholi babantwaba bese ubaphanyeka babe selangeni phambi kwakaSomnini ukuze ilaka lakaSomnini lizokwazi ukusuka kuma-Israyeli.”
5Yeke uMosi wathi ebagwebini bakwa-Israyeli: “Omunye nomunye wenu akabulale abantu abengameleko abazibophelele kuBhali wePewori.”
6Khonapho, nango omunye wama-Israyeli aletha umfazi wakwaMidiyani emndeninakhe, uMosi nomkhambathi woke wakwa-Israyeli baqalile. Ngesikhatheso bebasalila phambi kwetende lokuhlanganela.
7Kwathi lokha uFiniyasi umsa ka-Elazara omsa ka-Aroni umphristi nakabona lokho, wasikima watjhiya umkhambathi, wathatha umkhontwakhe,
8walandela umuntu wakwa-Israyeli loyo ngencabafazi ngetendeni. Kwathi basalele wabahlaba bobabili, indoda nomfazi loyo, umkhonto waphundlukela esiswini somfazi. Emva kwalokho isifo sasuka kuma-Israyeli.
9Labo ebegade sele bafe ngesifo bebaziinkulungwana ezimatjhumi amabili nane.
10USomnini wathi kuMosi:
11“UFiniyasi umsa ka-Elazara omsa ka-Aroni umphristi, urhobhise ilaka lami kuma-Israyeli ngombana yena ube netjisakalo ngami. Ngalokho akhange ngiwabhubhise ama-Israyeli ngesikhwele enginaso.
12Yeke mtjele bona ngenza naye isivumelwano sokuthula:
13Yena neenzukulwana zakhe bazakwamukeliswa isivumelwano sobuphristi nini nanini ngombana ube nesikhwele ngoZimakhe, wabuye wenzela ama-Israyeli itethelelo.”
14Ibizo lendoda yakwa-Israyeli eyabulawa nomfazi wakwaMidiyani bekunguZimri umsa kaSalu oyihloko yomndeni wakwaSimiyoni.
15Ibizo lomfazi wakwaMidiyani owabulawako bekunguKozibi indodakazi kaTsuri oyihloko yemindeni yekoro yakwaMidiyani.
16USomnini wathi kuMosi:
17“Phathani amaMidiyani njengezitha zenu bese niyawabulala,
18ngombana nawo aniphatha njengezitha ngobuqili bawo lokha nakaniyenga ngendaba yePewori. Kwaba njalo nangendaba kadadwawo uKozibi indodakazi yomrholi wakwaMidiyani, owabulawa ngelanga lesifo esabangwa yiPewori.”
