16 Kora+ mwana wa Izari,+ ndzukulu wa Kowati+ wa dzindza ya Levi,+ agumanyikana na Dhatani na Abhironi ana a Eliabhe,+ pabodzi na Oni mwana wa Pelete wa dzindza ya Rubheni.+
2 Amuna anewa asandukira Mose. Iwo akhali pabodzi na amuna 250 a dzindza ya Izraeli, akuti akhali atsogoleri, anthu adasankhulwa pakati pa mbumba,* amuna akubvekera.
3 Natenepa iwo agumanyikana, aenda+ kuna Mose na Aroni, mbaapanga: “Ife taneta na imwe!* Mbumba yonsene ndi yakucena,+ onsene, pontho Yahova ali pakati+ pawo. Thangwi yanji musafuna mukuzike pakati pa mbumba ya* Yahova?”
4 Mose pidabva iye pyenepi, agodama mwakucimbiza mbakotamisa nsolo wace mpaka pantsi.
5 Buluka penepo iye apanga Kora na anyakuphedzera ace onsene: “Mangwana namacibese, Yahova anadzapangiza kuti mbani munthu wace,+ mbani wakucena, pontho mbani adatawiriswa toera kunfendedzera.+ Ule anafuna kusankhulwa+ na iye, ndiye anafunika kunfendedzera.
6 Citani ipi: Iwe Kora na anthu onsene anakuphedzera,+ kwatani pyakuikhira+ insenso,
7 mangwana ikhani mwenemu makala a moto na insenso pamaso pa Yahova; ule anafuna kusankhulwa+ na Yahova, unoyu ndi wakucena. Imwe ana a Levi,+ pidacita imwe pyatekera kakamwe!”
8 Penepo Mose apanga Kora: “Ndaphata miyendo, bveserani imwe ana a Levi.
9 Kodi musaona kuti pyacepa pidakucitirani Mulungu wa Aizraeli? Iye akuikhani pakhundu pakati pa mbumba ya Izraeli,+ mbakutawirisani kuti munfendedzere toera muphate mabasa pa tabhernakulo ya Yahova, pontho mulimire patsogolo pa mbumba toera muitumikire.+
10 Iye akutawirisani toera munfendedzere pabodzi na abale anu, ana a Levi. Mphapo musafunambo mukhale anyantsembe?+
11 Na thangwi ineyi, iwe pabodzi na anthu onsene anakuphedzera, adamala kugumanyikana, muli kusandukira Yahova. Kodi Aroni mbani iye toera munʼdungunyire?”+
12 Buluka penepo, Mose acemeresa Dhatani na Abhironi+ ana a Eliabhe, mbwenye iwo alonga: “Ife nkhabe kuenda!
13 Kodi usanyerezera kuti pyacepa pidaticitira iwe, pidatibulusa iwe mu dziko ya nkaka na uci toera utiphese nʼthando?+ Cincino usafunambo ukhale ntongi wankulu kakamwe pakati pathu?*
14 Mwandimomwene, iwe nee watibweresa ku dziko ya nkaka na uci,+ peno kutipasa minda yakuti iri na mauva toera ikhale unthaka wathu. Kodi usanyerezera kuti ndife maboliboli? Ife nkhabe kuenda!”
15 Penepo Mose aipirwa kakamwe mbapanga Yahova: “Lekani kuyangʼana ntsembe zawo za pyakudya. Nee buru ibodzi idaakwatira ine, pontho nee mʼbodzi wa iwo+ adacitira ine pyakuipa.”
16 Buluka penepo, Mose apanga Kora: “Mangwana, iwe na onsene anakuphedzera bwerani muonekere pamaso pa Yahova. Iwe, iwo na Aroni musafunika mubwere.
17 Mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi asafunika akwate cakuikhira insenso mbaikhamo insenso, buluka penepo, acipereke pamaso pa Yahova. Iwe na Aroni pabodzi na amuna 250 anakuphedzera, mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi asafunika aphatirire cinthu cace cakuikhira insenso.”
18 Natenepa, mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi akwata cinthu cace cakuikhira insenso, aikhamo makala a moto na insenso, mbalimira cifupi na nsuwo wa nsasa wa nsonkhano pabodzi na Mose na Aroni.
19 Kora pidamala iye kugumanya anyakuphedzera+ ace cifupi na nsuwo wa nsasa wa nsonkhano toera kusandukira Mose na Aroni, ceza ca mbiri ya Yahova caoneka pana mbumba+ yonsene.
20 Penepo Yahova apanga Mose na Aroni:
21 “Bulukani pakati pa nsoka unoyu toera ine ndiafudze kabodzi na kabodzi.”+
22 Na thangwi ineyi, iwo agodama mbakotamisa misolo yawo mpaka pantsi, mbalonga: “Taphata miyendo Mulungu, imwe Mulungu munapasa umaso anthu+ onsene, kodi munaipirwa na mbumba+ yonsene thangwi ya madawo a munthu mʼbodzi basi?”
23 Natenepa Yahova apanga Mose:
24 “Panga mbumba kuti: ‘Bulukani* pakati pa misasa ya Kora, Dhatani na Abhironi!’”+
25 Penepo Mose alamuka mbaenda kuna Dhatani na Abhironi. Akulu+ a mbumba ya* Izraeli aenda pabodzi na iye.
26 Iye apanga mbumba: “Ndaphata miyendo, bulukani* pakati pa misasa ya anthu anewa akuipa, pontho lekani kuphata pinthu pyawo, nee cibodzi, toera mukhonde kufudzwa thangwi ya madawo awo.”
27 Mwakucimbiza iwo abuluka mʼmakhundu onsene a misasa ya Kora, Dhatani na Abhironi. Dhatani na Abhironi abuluka mʼmisasa yawo mbalimira pa misuwo ya misasa yawo pabodzi na akazawo, anawo athunga na angʼono.
28 Buluka penepo, Mose aapanga: “Ipi pingacitika, imwe munadziwa kuti ndi Yahova adandituma toera kucita pinthu pyenepi, pontho kuti nee ndiri kucita pya munsolo mwanga:
29 Iwo angafa ninga munafa anthu onsene, kutcunyuswa kwawo mbakulandana na kwa anthu onsene, nee ndi Yahova adandituma.+
30 Mbwenye Yahova angacita pinthu pyakudzumatirisa kuna iwo, mataka angafunguka mbameza iwo na pinthu pyawo pyonsene, iwo mbatcitira Munthumbi* mbaciri na umaso, dziwani kuti mwandimomwene, anthu awa atsalakana Yahova mwakusowa cilemedzo.”*
31 Pidamala iye kwene kulonga mafala anewa, mataka a pa mbuto idaponda iwo afunguka.+
32 Mataka afunguka mbameza iwo na anthu a panyumba pawo, pabodzi na anthu onsene akhali kukhundu ya Kora+ na pinthu pyawo pyonsene.
33 Natenepa iwo na anthu onsene akhali kukhundu yawo atcitira Munthumbi* mbaciri na umaso, mataka mbafungika padzulu pawo. Natenepa iwo azambazika pakati pa mbumba.*+
34 Pikhakhuwa anthu anewa, Aizraeli onsene akhali nʼkhundu mwawo athawa, mbalonga: “Tisagopa kumezwambo na mataka!”
35 Penepo pene, moto wabuluka kuna Yahova+ mbupisa amuna 250 akhapereka insenso.+
36 Yahova apanga Mose:
37 “Panga Eleazare mwana wa nyantsembe Aroni abuluse pyakuikhira+ insenso piri pa moto, thangwi ipyo ndi pinthu pyakucena. Pontho mpange toera amwaze madotha kutali na mbuto ineyi.
38 Pyakuikhira insenso pya amuna adafa thangwi ya madawo awo, pisafunika kucitwa mabhande a utale toera kuaikha mʼmakhundu a guwa ya ntsembe,+ thangwi iwo apipereka kuna Yahova mbapikhala pinthu pyakucena. Pinthu pyenepi pinadzakhala cidzindikiro kuna Aizraeli.”+
39 Natenepa, nyantsembe Eleazare akwata pyakuikhira insenso pya nkuwa pidaperekwa na anthu adamala kupiswa na moto, apicita mabhande toera kuaikha mʼmakhundu a guwa ya ntsembe
40 mwakubverana na pidalonga Yahova kuna Mose. Pyenepi pikhakumbusa Aizraeli kuti nee munthu mʼbodzi wakukhonda tawiriswa, wakuti nee ndi wa dzindza ya Aroni asafunika kufendedza toera kupisa insenso pamaso pa Yahova,+ pontho kuti nee mʼbodzi asafunika kukhala ninga Kora na anyakuphedzera+ ace.
41 Mbwenye mangwana mwace, mbumba yonsene ya Izraeli yatoma kudungunyira Mose na Aroni,+ mbilonga: “Imwe uwiri wanu ndimwe adapha mbumba ya Yahova.”
42 Pidagumanyikana mbumba toera kusandukira Mose na Aroni, iwo ayangʼana ku nsasa wa nsonkhano mbaona kuti khole ikhadaphimbira nsasa, pontho kuti ceza ca mbiri ya Yahova catoma kuoneka.+
43 Mose na Aroni aenda kutsogolo kwa nsasa wa nsonkhano,+
44 Yahova mbapanga Mose:
45 “Bulukani* pakati pa mbumba ineyi toera ine ndiifudze kabodzi na kabodzi.”+ Penepo iwo agodama mbakotamisa misolo yawo mpaka pantsi.+
46 Mose apanga Aroni: “Kwata cakuikhira insenso mbuikhamo makala a moto ali pa guwa ya ntsembe,+ ikha insenso mwenemu ndoko mwakucimbiza kuna mbumba kacenesa* madawo awo,+ thangwi Yahova aipirwa. Pontho muliri watoma!”
47 Mwakucimbiza Aroni akwata cakuikhira insenso mwakubverana na pidampanga Mose, athamanga mbapita pakati pa mbumba, mbwenye muliri ukhadatoma pakati pa mbumba. Iye aikha ntsembe* mu cakuikhira insenso, mbatoma kucenesa* madawo a mbumba.
48 Iye apitiriza kulimira pakati pa anthu akufa na amaso, pakumalisa muliri wamala.
49 Anthu adafa na muliri unoyu akhali 14.700, kusiyapo ale adafa thangwi ya Kora.
50 Pakumalisa, pidabwerera Aroni kuna Mose pansuwo wa nsasa wa nsonkhano, muliri ukhadamala.
