2 Onkhe ema-Israyeli acala kukhonona ngaMosi nanga-Aroni,+ aphindze akhuluma kabi ngabo, atsi: “Kube mane safela eveni laseGibhithe nobe kulelihlane! 3 Jehova usiletseleni lapha kuze sitewubulawa ngenkemba?+ Bafati nebantfwana betfu batawutfunjwa.+ Akusincono yini kutsi sibuyele eGibhithe?”+ 4 Labantfu bebaze bakhulume bodvwa batsi: “Asikhetseni umuntfu lotawuba ngumholi wetfu bese sibuyela eGibhithe!”+

3 Ngako ema-Israyeli ahlanganyela ekukhonteni* Bhali wasePheyori,+ ngaleso sizatfu Jehova wawatfukutselela kakhulu.

8 Asingagwadli* njengobe labanye babo bagwadla,* umphumela waba kutsi kufe bantfu labangu-23 000 ngelilanga linye.+ 9 Asingamlingi Jehova* njengobe labanye babo bamlinga,+ umphumela waba kutsi babulawe tinyoka.+ 10 Asingakhononi njengobe labanye babo bakhonona,+ umphumela waba kutsi babhujiswe ngumbhubhisi.+
