Hamba, ulilonjele italawe liwele kumwando kwa hewo lilavye mazi. Ena, kolidita italawe lilavye mazi, leka nhanzi yeng'ha ya wanhu na migongolo ja hewo jinwe mazi.” 9 Musa nakaihola yila ng'hweku hali Mkulu Nguluwi kota navyoyalajizwe.

Ndaze, tuwalavile mazi kulawa kuli italawe ali?” 11 Hamba Musa nakenula moko wa heye, nakalitowa lila italawe mala mbili kwa ng'hweku ya heye. Mazi nagalawa kwa winji, Waisilaeli weng'ha nawanwa hamwe na migongolo ja hewo. 12 Ila Mkulu Nguluwi nakawalonjela Musa na Aluni, “Kwa vila hemwe namwali hambe mng'hunde ne kumha ukulu hali meho ga Waisilaeli, kwa chiwalo acho hamuwenjiza wanhu weng'ha wano kuli isi yila yondiwapele.” 13 Ago ndo mazi ga Meliba, honhu hawele Waisilaeli nawawele womng'ung'utila Mkulu Nguluwi, na heye nakelajila kota ka yelile hali hewo.
