11 Sonu ŵanthu wo, angwamba kudinginyika ukongwa pa masu paku Yehova. Yehova wati wavwa kudinginyika kwawu, wangukwiya ukongwa. Mwaviyo, motu wakutuliya kwaku Yehova ungwamba kukole pakati pawu ndipu ungupiriza anyaki mwa ŵanthu wo ŵenga kukumaliya kwa msasa.

4 Ŵanthu akupambanapambana*+ wo ŵenga pakati pa Ayisirayeli angulongo jalidu la mbunu+ ndipu Ayisirayeli nawu angwamba so kuliya ndipu akambanga kuti: “Ndiyani watipaskengi nyama yakuti tiryi?+
5 Tikumbuka somba zawezi zo taryanga mucharu cha Ijipiti kweniso vinkhaka, vimwamaji,* hanyezi wakupambanapambana ndipuso galiki!+
6 Kweni sonu talefuka. Palivi chinyaki cho tiwona kweni mana pe mbwenu.”+

8 Ŵanthu azanga kuzitondo mana ndipu angaperanga pachakuperiyapu pamwenga angapuwanga muduli. Pavuli paki angabikanga mumimphika pamwenga apanganga viŵandi vakuzunguliya+ ndipu vanowanga nge makeki ngakunong’ome ngakudaku mafuta.
9 Usiku asani dungwi lawa, mana nangu ngawanga.+
10 Mozesi wanguvwa ŵanthu wo achiliya mumabanja ngawu, weyosi pakhomu la hema laki. Ndipu Yehova wangukwiya ukongwa,+ Mozesi nayu wangukondwa cha.
11 Sonu Mozesi wangukambiya Yehova kuti: “Ntchifukwa wuli mwandisuzga viyo ndamteŵeti winu? Ntchifukwa wuli mwaleka kundilongo wezi pakuŵika mphingu ya ŵanthu wosi yaŵa paku ini?+
12 Kumbi ini ndini ndingume nthumbu ya ŵanthu wosi yaŵa? Kumbi ini ndini ndikuŵabala, kuti mundikambiyi kuti, ‘Apingi pachifuŵa chaku, nge mo mteŵeti* wapingiya mwana wakonkha,’ ndipu luta nawu kucharu cho ndikulapizga kuti ndichiperekengi kwa apapi ŵawu?+
13 Ndiyitongi pani nyama yakuti ndipaski ŵanthu wosi yaŵa? Pakuti aleka cha kundiliriya ndipu akamba kuti, ‘Tipaski nyama yakuti tiryi!’
14 Ndingafiska cha kupinga mphingu ya ŵanthu wosi yaŵa; njizitu ukongwa kwaku ini.+
15 Asani venivi ndivu mundichitiyengi, mbwenu mundibayi ŵaka, sonu viyo.+ Asani ndasaniya wezi pa masu pinu, lekani kundiŵika mu masuzgu nganyaki.”
16 Yehova wangumuka Mozesi kuti: “Undiwunganisiyi anthulumi 70 kutuliya mu ŵara ŵa Ayisirayeli, anthulumi wo uziŵa kuti mbara kweniso mbalongozgi a ŵanthu.+ Uŵatole kuchihema chakukumanaku ndipu ami kweniko limoza ndi yiwi.
17 Ndisikengi+ ndipu ndilongorongi nawi kweniko.+ Nditongi unyaki mwa mzimu+ wo we paku yiwi ndipu ndiwuŵikengi paku yiwu. Anthulumi wo akuwovyengi kupinga mphingu ya ŵanthu yaŵa kuti uleki kuyipinga wija.+
18 Kambiya ŵanthu kuti, ‘Jitoweseni kuti munozgeke zuŵa lamawa,+ pakuti muryengi nyama, chifukwa Yehova wavwa+ kuliya kwinu po mwakambanga kuti: “Ndiyani yo watipaskengi nyama yakuti tiryi? Vinthu vatiyendiyanga umampha ku Ijipiti.”+ Yehova walekengi cha kukupaskani nyama ndipu muryengi.+
19 Muryengi kwa zuŵa limoza pe cha, pamwenga ngaŵi, pamwenga ngankhondi, pamwenga 10, pamwenga 20,
20 kweni muryengi kwa mwezi wosi wamphumphu, mpaka po yazamutuliya mumphunu zinu ndi kukuseruskani,+ pakuti mwakana Yehova yo we pakati pinu ndipu mwaliya pa masu paki, mwakamba kuti: “Ntchifukwa wuli tikutuwa mucharu cha Ijipiti?”’”+
21 Pavuli paki, Mozesi wangukamba kuti: “Nde pakati pa asilikali 600,000+ kweni yimwi mwakamba kuti, ‘Ndiŵapaskengi nyama, ndipu aryengi mwakuguta kwa mwezi wosi wamphumphu’!
22 Asani mbereri, mbuzi ndipuso ng’ombi zosi zingabayika, kumbi zingaŵakwana? Pamwenga asani somba zosi munyanja zingabayika, kumbi zingaŵakwana?”
23 Yehova wangukambiya Mozesi kuti: “Kumbi janja laku Yehova ndifupi ukongwa?+ Uwonengi asani vo ndakamba vikuchitikiyengi pamwenga cha.”
24 Sonu Mozesi wanguluta kuchikambiya ŵanthu mazu ngaku Yehova. Ndipu wanguwunganisa anthulumi 70 kutuliya mu ŵara ŵa ŵanthu ndipu wanguŵamika mwakuzunguliya chihema chakukumanaku.+
25 Pavuli paki, Yehova wangusika mumtambu+ ndipu wangulongoro ndi Mozesi.+ Wanguto unyaki mwa mzimu+ wo wenga paku iyu ndipu wanguwuŵika pa anthulumi 70. Mzimu wati wajalikiskika ŵaka paku yiwu, angwamba kuchita vinthu nge achimi,+ kweni anguwerezapu so cha.
26 Penga anthulumi ŵaŵi wo angujaliya mumsasa. Munyaki wenga Edadi, ndipu munyaki wenga Medadi. Mzimu ungwamba kujalikiskika paku yiwu chifukwa ŵenga pa gulu la anthulumi wo angulembeka mazina kweni anguluta cha kuchihema chakukumanaku. Mwaviyo, yiwu angwamba kuchita vinthu nge achimi mumsasa.
27 Sonu mnyamata munyaki wangutchimbiya ndi kuchikambiya Mozesi kuti: “Edadi ndi Medadi achita vinthu nge achimi mumsasa!”
28 Pavuli paki, Yoswa+ mwana waku Nuni, mteŵeti waku Mozesi kutuliya pa unamana waki, wangumuka kuti: “Ambuya a Mozesi, kaŵakanizeni!”+
29 Kweni Mozesi wangumukambiya kuti: “Kumbi uchita sanji chifukwa chaku ini? Kuchita viyo cha. Ndatingi ndikondwengi ukongwa asani ŵanthu wosi aku Yehova ŵenga achimi kweniso asani Yehova wanguŵika mzimu waki paku yiwu!”
30 Ndipu Mozesi wanguwere mumsasa limoza ndi ŵara ŵa Ayisirayeli.
31 Pavuli paki, kunguputa mphepu yakutuliya kwaku Yehova ndipu yingupinga tiyuni ta kambuŵi kutuliya kunyanja ndi kutiwisiya pasi kuzunguliya msasa.+ Kutuliya pamsasa kufika po pangumaliya tiyuni ta kambuŵi penga mtunda wakwenda zuŵa limoza kuchigaŵa chinyaki ndipuso mtunda wakwenda zuŵa limoza kuchigaŵa chinyaki, kuzunguliya msasa wosi. Tiyuni to taphululukanga pasi ukongwa, pafufupi mita yimoza* kutuliya pasi.
32 Ŵanthu wo angujaliya ŵaka kuko tiyuni ta kambuŵi zuŵa losi kweniso usiku wosi mpaka zuŵa linyaki lamphumphu. Pengavi yo wanguko tiyuni tambula kujumpha miyesu 10 ya homeri* ndipu anikanga tiyuni to mwakuzunguliya msasa wosi.
33 Kweni nyama yo yeche mumulomu mwawu, ŵechendayitafunyi, Yehova wanguŵakwiyiya ŵanthu wo, ndipu Yehova wangwamba kuŵabaya, mwakuti ŵanthu anandi angufwa.+
34 Mwaviyo, malu ngo angungadana kuti Kibiroti-hatava*+ chifukwa chakuti kwenuku ndiku anguŵika ŵanthu wo angulongo jalidu la mbunu.+
35 Ayisirayeli angutuwaku ku Kibiroti-hatava ndipu angunyamuka kuluta ku Hazeroti. Yiwu anguja kweniko ku Hazeroti.+
