1Vuzishile mbuli zino zose, nyona nzozi iyagwe, niwona wasenga wa Mulungu wa kuulanga wane wema hana zing'ambu nne za iisi, wozigoga mbeho nne za iisi giladi beho sambidibume muisi, ama m'bahali, ama mum'biki wowose.
2Abaho, nimona msenga iyagwe wa Mulungu wa kuulanga yokwela kulawa kuulawilo wa zua yali na utango wa Mulungu yali na ugima. Kawakema na dizwi kulu waja iwasenga wane wa Mulungu wa kuulanga, awo wagweleligwe mhiko ya kuibananga isi na bahali.
3Ija imsenga wa Mulungu wa kuulanga kalonga, “Sambimuibanange isi, ama bahali, ama mibiki, mbaka vondatuwagele utango watumigwa wa Mulungu wetu m'vihanga vao.”
4Abaho nihulika mheta ya wanhu wageligwe utango kulawa mmitala yose ya Islaeli. Wakala wanhu 144,000. Wakala wolawa mmitala yose longo dimwe na mibili ya Islaeli.

Wanhu kulawa isi zose, mitala yose, wanhu wose, na lonzi zose, wema haulongozi wa ikigoda cha undewa na haulongozi wa Mwana Ng'hondolo. Wakala wavalile ng'hanzu nzelu na kugoga mitambi ya mitende mmakono gao.
10Wenula dizwi, wolonga, “Ukombola wolawa ha Mulungu wetu, ayo yakalile mkigoda cha undewa, na kulawa ha Mwana Ng'hondolo!”
11Wasenga wose wa Mulungu wa kuulanga wema kuzunguluka ikigoda cha undewa, iwavyele, na waja wene ugima wane. Wafugama mavindi wainamiza vihanga vao haulongozi wa ikigoda cha undewa, na kumtambikila Mulungu,

13Abaho, imwe wa waja iwavyele kaniuza, “Wano wavalile ng'hanzu nzelu iwo wanhu walihi, na walawa kwahi?”
14Nimwidika, “Mndewa, nie sivimanyile, ila gweye kovitanga” Na heyo kalonga, “Wano wao wahonyokwe kulawa mumgayo mkulu. Wazisuluza ng'hanzu zao na kuzitenda ziwe nzelu na mulopa wa Mwana Ng'hondolo.
