Hesabu 21:4-9

[4]Wakasafiri kutoka mlima wa Hori kwa njia ya Bahari ya Shamu; ili kuizunguka nchi ya Edomu, watu wakafa moyo kwa sababu ya ile njia. 

And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.

[5]Watu wakamnung’unikia Mungu, na Musa, Mbona mmetupandisha huku kutoka nchi ya Misri, ili tufe jangwani? Maana hapana chakula, wala hapana maji, na roho zetu zinakinai chakula hiki dhaifu. 

And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

[6]BWANA akatuma nyoka za moto kati ya watu, wakawauma, watu wengi wakafa. 

And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

[7]Watu wakamwendea Musa, wakasema, Tumefanya dhambi kwa sababu tumemnung’unikia Mungu, na wewe; utuombee kwa BWANA, atuondolee nyoka hawa. Basi Musa akawaombea watu. 

Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

[8]Bwana akamwambia Musa, Jifanyie nyoka ya shaba, ukaiweke juu ya mti, na itakuwa kila mtu aliyeumwa, aitazamapo ataishi. 

And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

[9]Musa akafanya nyoka ya shaba, akaiweka juu ya mti, hata ikiwa nyoka amemwuma mtu, alipoitazama ile nyoka ya shaba, akaishi. 

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
