1OMiriyamu no-Aroni bakhuluma bemelene noMose ngenxa yowesifazane wakwaKushe amthathile; ngokube wayethathile owesifazane wakwaKushe.
2Bathi: “Imbala uJehova ukhulumile kuMose kuphela na? Akakhulumanga nakithi na?” UJehova wakuzwa.
3Kodwa lowo muntu uMose wayemnene kunabo bonke abantu ababesebusweni bomhlaba.
4UJehova wayesekhuluma ngokuzumayo kuMose naku-Aroni nakuMiriyamu, wathi: “Wozani nina nobathathu etendeni lokuhlangana.” Baphuma bobathathu.
5UJehova wehla esensikeni yefu, wema ngasemnyango wetende, wabiza o-Aroni noMiriyamu; baphuma bobabili.
6Wayesethi: “Yizwani manje amazwi ami: uma kukhona umprofethi phakathi kwenu, mina Jehova ngiyakuzibonakalisa kuye ngombono, ngikhulume kuye ngephupho.
7Inceku yami uMose akanjalo; uthembekile endlini yami yonke;
8ngiyakukhuluma naye umlomo nomlomo ngokusobala, kungabi ngamazwi ayimfumbe; isimo sikaJehova uyakusibona; anesabanga ngani ukukhuluma ngenceku yami uMose na?”
9Intukuthelo kaJehova yabavuthela; wayesemuka.
10Ifu lasuka phezu kwetende; bheka, uMiriyamu wayesenochoko, enjengeqhwa; u-Aroni wambheka uMiriyamu; bheka, wayenochoko.
11U-Aroni wathi kuMose: “O nkosi, ake ungabeki isono phezu kwethu ngalokho esikwenzile ngobuwula, nangalokho esone ngakho.
12Ake angabi njengofileyo, onyama yakhe idliwe inxenye, nxa ephuma esizalweni sikanina.”
13UMose wakhala kuJehova, wathi: “O Nkulunkulu, mawumphulukise, ngiyakuncenga.”
14UJehova wathi kuMose: “Uma uyise ebemkhafulele ebusweni, ubengebe namahloni izinsuku eziyisikhombisa na? Makavalelwe ngaphandle kwekamu* izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; ngasemva kwalokho uyakubuye angeniswe.”
15UMiriyamu wavalelwa ngaphandle kwekamu* izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; abantu abahambanga, waze wabuyiswa uMiriyamu.
16Ngasemuva abantu basuka eHaseroti, bamisa ehlane lasePharanu.
