Patsogolo pace nin'dzakusandusa mbumba ikulu”.

Bwezani moto wa ukali bwanu! Khalani na ntsisi lekani kubweresa cakuipaci kuna mbumba yanu! 13 Kumbukirani anyagirinya wanu Abrahamu, Izaki na Ijirayeri, omwe imwepo caiye mudalumbirira kuti: ‘Ndin'dzacita kuti bzizukulu bzako bzidzakhale bzakuwanda ninga nyenyezi za kudzulu ndipo ndin'dzabzipasa dziko lentseneli lomwe ndidalewa, kuti lin'dzakhala utaka bwawo kwakusaya kumala’ ”. 14 Pamwepo Mbuya adaleka cakugosva comwe akhafuna kucitira mbumba.

21 Ndipo Mozeji adabvundza Aloni kuti: “Ni ciyani comwe mbumbayi yakucitira kuti uiphonyese kwakugosva tenepayu?”

22 Aloni adamutawira kuti: “Lekani kukalipa, mbuya wangu, imwe mun'dziwisisa kuti mbumba imweyi imbakumbuka bzakuipa. 23 Iyo idandiuza kuti: ‘Tikondzere mirungu kuti ititsogolere, nakuti tirikudziwa lini ni ciyani comwe cacitika kuna Mozejiyo mwamuna omwe adaticosa kuIjipito’ ”. 24 Pamwepo ndidawauza kuti: “Omwe ana oro, abwerese kuna ine. Mbumba idandibweresera oro, ine ndidaithusa pa moto ndipo padacokera mphuluyi”.

25 Mozeji adawona kuti mbumba ikhacita bzomwe in'funa, thangwe Aloni akhadawalekerera, mwakuti akhadasanduka cinthu cakusekesa kwa anyamadulanthaka wawo. 26 Pamwepo adaimirira pakupitira pa msasa, ndipo aciti: “Omwe ni wa Mbuya aphatane na ine”. Amuna wentse wa dzindza la Levi adaphatana na iye.

27 Ndipo adawauza pomwe kuti: “Mbuya, Mulungu wa Ijirayeri alikulewa tenepa: ‘M'bodzi na m'bodzi atenge cisenga cace, apite mumsasa pacikumbi na cikumbi ndipo aphe m'bale wace, xamwali wace, na wapafupi wace’ ”. 28 Amunawo adacita ninga momwe adawauzira Mozeji, ndipo ntsiku imweyo adafa pafupi-fupi bzulu bzitatu pakati pa mbumba. 29 Pamwepo Mozeji adalewa kuti: “Lero imwepo mwabzipambula kuti mukhale wakutumikira Mbuya, nakuti palibe na m'bodziyo wa imwe wabva ntsisi na mwana wace ayai m'bale wace. Na tenepo, ntsiku imweyo Mbuya adawadalisa”.

30 Mangwana yandzace, Mozeji adauza mbumba kuti: “Imwepo mwacita citazo cikulu. Tsapano nin'kwira pomwe kuphiri ndikalewe-lewe na Mbuya, kuti pinango ningakakwanise kuti Iye akulekerereni kutaza kwanu”.

31 Ndipo Mozeji adabwerera kuna Mbuya aciti: “Mbumbayi idacita citazo cikulu, idabzikondzera mirungu ya oro. 32 Tsapano, ndaphata minyendo ndirikukumbirani kuti muwalekerere citazo cawo, bzikasaya kukwanisika mundipfudze mulivu lanu lomwe mudanemba”.

33 Mbuya adam'tawira Mozeji aciti: “Nin'dzapfudza mulivu langu wentse omwe adacita citazo kuna Ine. 34 Ndoko tsapano, tsogolera mbumba kumbuto yomwe ndidakuuza, ndipo anju wangu an'dzayenda patsogolo pako. Tsono nthawe ikadzakwana yakuwapasa nyathwa, Ine nin'dzawapasa nyathwa thangwe ra kuphonya kwawo”.
