Awo ekibbula kyonakyona ekyʼaBaisirairi ni kituuka omwidungu lyʼe Ziini omu mweri ogusooka, era abantu abo ni bakola enkambi e Kadesi. Nga bali eeyo, oMiryamu omwonyoko wa Musa nʼafa, era ni bamuliikayo. 
Atyanu tiwabbaireyo amaizi gʼabantu abo okunywa, era ni beezuluguma nga bakumbaine beeruguulirirye oMusa nʼAlooni. 
Kale abantu nago ni bayombesya oMusa, nga bakoba bati, “Singa twafiire abaganda baiswe owebafeereire omumaiso ga Musengwa, nga kyabbaire kisa! 
Lwaki waleetere ekibbula kyonakyona ekya Musengwa omwidungu linu? Watakire iswe nʼebyayo byaiswe tufeere aanu? 
Era lwaki watutoire e Misiri, nʼotuleeta omu kifo kinu ekyakabbikabbi omubulamu empeke yʼengaano, waire emitiini, omubulamu emizabbibbu, waire nkomamawanga, era omubulamu nʼamaizi agʼokunywa?” 
OMusa nʼAlooni ni bazwa omumaiso gʼabantu aabo, ni baaba oku mulyango gwʼeWeema eyʼoKusisinkanirangamu oMusengwa, ni bafuunama ni baica empumi gyabwe ansi okwitakali okumuwa ekitiisya, ekitiisya kya Musengwa ni kibabonekera. 
Awo oMusengwa nʼakoba oMusa ati, 
“Okwate omwigo oguli omumaiso wʼeSanduuku eyʼeNdagaano, era iwe nʼAlooni omugandawo mukumbaanie abantu abo kaisi mulagire eibbaale eryo lizwemu amaizi omumaiso gaabwe aawo nga bonabona babona. Omukukola otyo watoolera abantu aabo amaizi omwibbaale ni banywa nʼebyayo byabwe byona ni binywa.” 
Atyo oMusa nʼatoola omwigo oku Sanduuku eyʼeNdagaano, ngʼoMusengwa oweyamulagiire. 
OMusa nʼAlooni ni bakumbaanirya ekibbula kyonakyona ekyʼaBaisirairi aamo aawo eibbaale e giriri, kaisi oMusa nʼakoba abantu abo ati, “Bajeemu inywe, muwulisisye! Tuli nʼokubatoolera amaizi omwibbaale linu?” 
Awo oMusa nʼasiirya omwigo nʼagukubba okwibbaale emirundi mibiri, amaizi mangi ni gatiiriika okuzwa omwibbaale. Abantu bonabona ni banywa nʼebyayo byabwe byona ni binywa. 
Neye oMusengwa nʼakoba oMusa nʼAlooni ati, “Atyanu olwʼokubba timwanjikiririiryemu, nandi ni mumpeesya ekitiisya ngʼomutukulye omumaiso gʼaBaisirairi, timwalingirya abantu abo omu kyalo ekinabawaire.” 
Ekifo ekinandi bamuweeseryamu ekitiisya kyabbaire ku nsulo gyʼe Meribba, aBaisirairi e gibayombeseirye oMusengwa, nʼabalaga ngʼowaali mutukulye. 
Owebabbaire nga bakaali bali e Kadesi, oMusa nʼatuma abakwenda eeri okabaka wʼEdomu okumukobera ati, “Abagandabo aBaisirairi bakoba bati, ‘Omaite nakusani ebigosi byonabyona ebyatutuukireku. 
Abazeiza baiswe baabire omu kyalo kyʼe Misiri, eeyo e gitubbaire okumala emyanka emingi. ABamisiri batugadirye iswe nʼabazeiza baiswe. 
Neye owetwekungiriire oMusengwa okutubbeera, yawuliire okwekunga kwaiswe, nʼatuma omukwenda nʼatutoola e Misiri.’ ” “ ‘Atyanu tuli yaanu Kadesi, ekibuga ekiri oku nsalo nʼekyalokyo. 
Tukwegairiire otwikirirye tubiteku omu kyalokyo. Titwabukeku omu musiri kadi gumo, waire ogwʼemizabbibbu, era titwanyweku amaizi agʼomu malubago. Twaba kusenja luguudo olunene lwonkani okabaka olwabitamu, anambula kwabuka okwira oku ndiiro ooba oku ngooda, paka owetwazwa omu kyalokyo.’ ” 
Neye okabaka wʼEdomu nʼabairamu ati, “Timwabita omu kyalo kyange. Owemwagezyaku okukibitamu, twaba okukwata ebyokulwanisya tubalumbe.” 
ABaisirairi ni bairamu bati, “Iswe twaba kusenja luguudo olunene olwo lwonkani, era singa iswe ooba ebyayo byaiswe byanywaku amaizi gaanywe, twagasasulira. Tusaba kimo kyonkani, mutwikirirye tubitekuumu-bubiti na bigere.” 
Era okabaka nʼabairamu ati, “Timwakibitemu.” Era awo nʼasindika amaje agʼamaani ni gabalumba nʼamaani amabitiriri. 
Olwʼokubba okabaka wʼEdomu yagaine aBaisirairi okubita omu kyalokye, ni kyazya aBaisirairi ni bacuuka ni bakwata nzira gendi. 
Ekibbula kyonakyona ekyʼaBaisirairi ni kitambula ni kizwa e Kadesi ni kituuka oku Lusozi oKoli. 
Nga bali eeyo oku lusozi oKoli okumpi nʼensalo yʼEdomu, oMusengwa nʼakoba oMusa nʼAlooni ati, 
“Alooni ayaba okufa asenje abazeizabe. Tiyalingira omu kyalo ekinasuubizire okuwa aBaisirairi, olwʼokubba inywe mwembi mwajeemeire ekiragiro kyange oku nsulo gyʼe Meribba. 
Okwate Alooni nʼomutaanewe Eryezaali, obatwale oku Lusozi oKoli. 
Nga muli eeyo wayambulyamu Alooni ebizwalobye ebyʼobwakabona, nʼobizwalisya omutaane Eryezaali olwʼokubba Alooni ayaba okufeera eeyo, asenje abazeizabe.” 
Atyo oMusa nʼakola ngʼoMusengwa oweyamulagiire ni baniinaniina ni baaba oku Lusozi oKoli, ngʼaBaisirairi bonabona babona. 
Awo oMusa nʼayambulyamu Alooni ebizwalo ebyʼobwakabona, nʼabizwalisya Eryezaali omutaane wʼAlooni. Era Alooni nʼafeera eeyo oku nairungu wʼolusozi olwo. Kaisi olwo oMusa nʼEryezaali ni baserengeta ni bazwa oku lusozi olwo, 
era ekibbula kyonakyona ekyʼaBaisirairi owekyategeire kiti Alooni afiire, eigwanga lyonalyona erya Isirairi ni limala enaku 30 nga limukunga.
