3Kodvwa bantfu bomela emanti, bakhonona kuMosi batsi: “Yeyi wena! Wawusikhiphelani lena eGibhithe? Kantsi tsine nebantfwabetfu netifuyo tetfu wawusikhiphela kutsi utesibulala ngekoma la?”
4Ngako-ke Mosi wakhala kuSimakadze watsi: “Ngitabatsini nje labantfu? Sebasezingeni lekutsi bangangigcoba ngematje nome ngangunini.”
5 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Tsatsa labanye bebaholi bema-Israyeli, uhambe nabo embikwebantfu. Ubophatsa indvuku yakho lowashaya ngayo umfula, iNayili.
6 Ngitakuma embikwakho edvwaleni leNtsaba iHorebe. Ubolishaya lelidvwala; emanti atawuphuma kulo, bese bantfu bayanatsa.” Mosi wenta njalo embikwebaholi bema-Israyeli.
