Anyakusuzumira Dziko 12

Pidabuluka Aizraeli Paphiri ya Sinai iwo apita na n’thando ya Parani, ku Kadhesi. Pidafika iwo kweneko Yahova apanga Mose: ‘Sankhula amuna 12 mu dzindza ibodzi na ibodzi toera aende kaone dziko ya Kanani, inafuna ine kupasa Aizraeli.’ Natenepa, Mose asankhula amuna 12 mbaapanga: ‘Ndokoni ku Kanani mukaone khala dziko ndi yadidi toera kulima peno nkhabe. Pontho onani khala anthu anakhala mwenemu ndi amphambvu peno nkhabe.’ Natenepa anyakusuzumira dziko 12, aenda ku Kanani.

Pidapita ntsiku 40, anyakusuzumira dziko abwerera, pontho iwo abweresa misapo ya mauva, romaa na masambvu. Iwo alonga: ‘Ndi dziko yadidi, mbwenye anthu onsene adaona ife mwenemu ndi amphambvu, pontho mizinda yawo idazungulirwa na mipanda ndi mikulu kakamwe.’ Buluka penepo, Kalebe wakuti akhali m’bodzi mwa anyakusuzumira dziko alonga: ‘Tendeni mwakucimbiza, ife tinakwanisa kuakunda!’ Thangwi yanji Kalebe alonga tenepo? Thangwi iye na Yoswa akhanyindira Yahova. Mbwenye anyakusuzumira dziko anango khumi alonga: ‘Nkhabe! Anthu a kweneko ndi akulapha na a manungo makulu kakamwe! Pontho tingalandanisika na iwo, ife tisakhala ninga nthete.’

Pidabva Aizraeli pyenepi, iwo agopa mbatoma kudungunya. Buluka penepo iwo alonga: ‘Tendeni tisankhule ntsogoleri unango toera tibwerere pyathu ku Ejitu. Thangwi yanji tisafunika kuenda kweneko toera tiphiwe?’ Yoswa na Kalebe alonga: ‘Lekani kusandukira Yahova, pontho lekani kugopa. Yahova ali na ife.’ Mbwenye Aizraeli nee abvera. Na thangwi ineyi, iwo akhafuna kupha Yoswa na Kalebe!

Kodi Yahova acitanji? Iye apanga Mose: ‘Ndacita pinthu pizinji pamaso pa Aizraeli, mbwenye iwo akupitiriza basi kukhonda kundibvera. Natenepa, iwo anakhala n’thando ino mu pyaka 40, pontho anafera muno. Basi ene anapiana awo, Yoswa na Kalebe ndiwo anafuna kupita mu dziko idaapikira ine.’
