1 Nankha-ke emabito emadvodzana aka-Israyeli laya eGibhithe ahamba neyise Jakobe, nguleyo naleyo ndvodzana beyihamba nemndeni wakayo:
2 bekuboRubeni, naSimeyoni, naLevi, naJuda,
3 na-Isakhari, naZebuloni, naBhenjamini,
4 naDani, naNaftali, naGadi, na-Asheri.
5 Sewuwonkhe umndeni wakaJakobe wawubantfu lababengema-70. Phela Josefa abesavele aseGibhithe.
6 Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi boJosefa, nabomnakabo, nalo lonkhe lelo butfo labo, lafa laphela.
7 Kodvwa titukulwane tabo, ema-Israyeli, tatalana, tandza, taba nemandla kakhulu, kangangobe live laseGibhithe lase ligcwele tona.
8 Kwase kubekwa inkhosi lensha eGibhithe, leyayingati lutfo ngaJosefa.
9 Yacaphelisa bantfu bayo, yatsi: “Bukani la, lama-Israyeli asandza kakhulu lapha eveni letfu, kantsi futsi anemandla kakhulu kunatsi, asayingoti kitsi.
10 Ase siwabuke ngalamanye emehlo, sente lisu, funa andze kakhulu, ngobe nakungesuka imphi, angahle asite letitsa tetfu, bese ayabaleka kulelive.”
11 Ngako-ke emaGibhithe agcilata ema-Israyeli ngekuwabekela tindvuna letatiwashayela njengetinkhabi, tiwahlupha ngekuwetfwesa imitfwalo lematima. Ema-Israyeli akhela boFaro iPhithomu neRamsesi lekwakutingungumadolobha.
12 Kodvwa kuwahlupha nekuwacindzetela lama-Israyeli kwawenta andza kakhulu, andza nalo lonkhe live. EmaGibhithe acala kuwesaba ema-Israyeli.
13 Ngako-ke emaGibhithe asebentisa sive sema-Israyeli ngesihluku;
14 imphilo yawo ayenta yababa ngekuwagcilata kamatima: awabhucisa ludzaka, awafolomisa netitini, awentisa yonkhe inhlobo yemisebenti yasemasimini. Kuko konkhe labekwenta emaGibhithe asebentisa ema-Israyeli kamatima.
15 Inkhosi yaseGibhithe yakhuluma kuboShifra naPhuwa, labo bekubabelekisi bebafati bemaHebheru, yatsi:
16 “Nanibelekisa bafati bemaHebheru, kubotsi luswane nalungumfana nilubulale, kodvwa naluyintfombatane ningalubulali.”
17 Kodvwa babelekisi besaba Nkulunkulu, ngako abazange bawente lomyalo wenkhosi, babengatibulali letinswane letibafana.
18 Ngako-ke inkhosi yababita lababelekisi, yababuta yatsi: “Nikwentelani loku? Anitibulali ngani letinswane letibafana?”
19 Babelekisi bayiphendvula inkhosi batsi: “Bafati bemaHebheru abafanani nebafati bemaGibhithe. Bafati bemaHebheru banemandla, babeleka masinyane umbelekisi asengakefiki.”
20 Ngako-ke Nkulunkulu waba nemusa kulababelekisi. Ema-Israyeli andza kakhulu, adlanga kuba nemandla.
21 Njengobe lababelekisi bamesaba Nkulunkulu, yena wabapha imiti.
22 Ngako-ke Faro wayala bonkhe bantfu bakhe, watsi: “Lonkhe luswane lwemHebheru lolungumfana lubotsi nalutalwa nilugcumukisele emfuleni iNayili, kodvwa luswane loluyintfombatane niboluyekela luphile.”
1 Ngaso leso sikhatsi kwesuka indvodza yesive sakaLevi yateka umfati wesive sakubo.
2 Lomfati wakhulelwa, watala indvodzana, watsi kube abone indlela lolwaluluhle ngayo loluswane, walufihla lwaze lwaba netinyanga letintsatfu.
3 Kodvwa lwatsi kube lufike esigabeni sekungafihleki, wase ulufaka esitjeni lesaselukwe ngelikhwane, wasihuca ngalokusalibumba nangelitiyela, kuze singangenwa ngemanti. Walufaka ekhatsi loluswane, wase ulubeka emhlangeni elusentseni lwemfula iNayili.
4 Dzadzewabo loluswane wema bucalu, entela kubuka kutsi kutakwentekani kulo.
5 Kwase kufika indvodzakati yaFaro itewugeza lapha kulomfula; timphekeleteli tayo tatihamba tigudla lusentse lwemfula. Yatsi nayisibona lesitja sisekhatsi emhlangeni, yatfuma imphekeleteli yayo yatsi asilandvwe.
6 Lendvodzakati yaFaro yatsi nayisivula lesitja, yakhandza kuneluswane lwemfana, lukhala. Yaluhawukela, yase itsi: “Lolu ngulolunye lwetinswane temaHebheru.”
7 Dzadzewabo loluswane wakhuluma kulendvodzakati yaFaro, watsi: “Ngingakufunela yini umfati longumHebheru atekumunyisela loluswane?”
8 Indvodzakati yaFaro yatsi: “Ngingabonga, hamba.” Ngako-ke lentfombatana yagijima yalandza unina waloluswane.
9 Indvodzakati yaFaro yakhuluma kulonina, yatsi: “Ngitsatsele nangu umntfwana ungimunyisele yena, mine ngitakuholela.” Ngako lomake walutsatsa loluswane walumunyisa.
10 Watsi nasakhulakhulile lomntfwana, wamtsatsa wammikisa kulendvodzakati yaFaro. Lendvodzakati yaFaro yamfaka esiswini sayo, waba ngumntfwanayo, yatsi: “Njengobe ngimkhiphe emantini, ngitametsa ngitsi nguMosi.”
11 Kwatsi nasakhulile Mosi, wahamba wavakashela bantfu besive sakubo, emaHebheru; wabona indlela lababephocelelwa ngayo kutsi bente umsebenti lomatima. Wabona umGibhithe ashaya lomunye wesive sakubo, umHebheru.
12 Mosi wacalata ngala nangala, watsi kube abone kutsi kute lombonako, wabulala lomGibhithe; wammbela esihlabatsini.
13 Ngakusasa wabuyela futsi wabavakashela; wabona emadvodza lamabili emaHebheru alwa odvwa. Wakhuluma kulona lekwakunguyena onile, watsi: “Umshayelani lomuntfu wakini, longumHebheru?”
14 Lendvodza yaphendvula yatsi: “Ngubani losakwente indvuna nemehluleli wetfu wena? Sewufuna kungibulala nami njengalomGibhithe lombulele itolo?” Mosi wetfuka, wesaba kakhulu, amangaliswa kutsi kantsi lendzaba beseyatiwa.
15 Watsi kube Faro ayive lendzaba, wafuna Mosi, amfunela kumbulala. Kodvwa Mosi wabaleka eveni laFaro wayawuhlala eveni lakaMidiyani. Ngalelinye lilanga, Mosi ahleti eceleni kwesicobho,
16 kwase kufika emantfombatana lasikhombisa emphristi wakaMidiyani. Lamantfombatana abetewugcwalisa emanti emikhunjini, khona kutewunatsiswa imihlambi yetimvu neyetimbuti teyise.
17 Kwase kufika labanye belusi bawacosha lamantfombatana, kodvwa Mosi wesuka wawalamlela lamantfombatana ngekunatsisa lomhlambi wawo.
18 Atsi nakefika ekhaya kuyise, Rehuweli, watsi: “Lamuhla kwentiwe yini kutsi nisheshe kangaka kubuya?”
19 Amphendvula atsi: “Kukhona umGibhithe losivikele kubelusi, wadzimate wasikhelela nemanti ekunatsisa umhlambi.”
20 Wawabuta watsi: “Uphi kepha lomGibhithe? Nimshiyeleni? Hambani nimlandze ete lapha ekhaya atewutfola lokudliwako.”
21 Ngako Mosi wavuma kuhlala ekhaya kalendvodza. Rehuweli wamendzisela intfombi yakakhe lekwakunguSiphora.
22 Watala indvodzana, Mosi wayetsa libito watsi nguGeshomu, ngobe abetsi: “Ngisihambi kulelive.”
23 Emvakweminyaka leminyenti Faro waseGibhithe wafa. Ema-Israyeli abubula ngalokugcilatwa kwawo, akhala kuNkulunkulu acela lusito. Kukhala kwawo kwenyuka kwefika kuNkulunkulu.
24 Nkulunkulu wakuva kububula kwawo, wase uyasikhumbula sivumelwane sakhe lasenta ku-Abrahama, naku-Isaka, nakuJakobe.
25 Ngako Nkulunkulu wababuka bantfwana baka-Israyeli, wabanaka.
1 Kwatsi ngalelinye lilanga Mosi eluse umhlambi wetimvu netimbuti teyisetala, Jethro, labengumphristi wakaMidiyani, asachuba lomhlambi weyisetala ayakuwelusela ngesheya kwelihlane, wadzimate wefika eHorebe, intsaba yaNkulunkulu.
2 Ingilosi yaSimakadze yabonakala kuye iselangabini lemlilo ekhatsi nekhatsi esihlahleni. Watsi uyabuka, wabona lesihlahla sivutsa kodvwa singashi.
3 Mosi wakhuluma watsi: “Ase ngiphambuke ngitewubona lesihlahla kutsi, njengobe naku siyavutsa, asishi ngani?”
4 Simakadze watsi kube abone kutsi Mosi uyaphambukela kutewubona, wamemeta watsi: “Mosi! Ye Mosi!” Mosi wasabela watsi: “Ngilapha!”
5 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Ungasasondzeli, khumula tincabule takho, ngobe lendzawo lome kuyo ingumhlabatsi longcwele.
6 NginguNkulunkulu wabokhokho bakho: Nkulunkulu wa-Abrahama, naNkulunkulu wa-Isaka, naNkulunkulu waJakobe.” Mosi wambonya buso bakhe, ngobe esaba kubukana naNkulunkulu.
7 Simakadze wakhuluma watsi: “Sengikubone ngempela kuhlushwa kwebantfu bami labaseGibhithe. Sengikuvile nekukhala kwabo ngekucindzetelwa nguletindvuna tabo temisebenti. Ngiyakwati kuhlupheka kwabo.
8 Ngako-ke sengehlile kutebakhulula esandleni semaGibhithe nekubakhipha eveni laseGibhithe, ngibayise eveni lelibanti nalelivundzile, lelinelubisi neluju lwetinyosi. Lelive liyindzawo yemaKhenani, nemaHethi, nema-Amori, nemaPheresi, nemaHivi, nemaJebhusi.
9 Sengikuvile kukhala kwebantfu bami, sengikubonile nalokucindzetelwa kwabo ngemaGibhithe.
10 Kota ngitekutfumela kuFaro, kutsi uyewukhulula bantfu bami, emadvodzana a-Israyeli, ubakhiphe eveni laseGibhithe.”
11 Mosi wakhuluma kuNkulunkulu, watsi: “Ngingubani mine kutsi ngingaya kuFaro, ngiyewukhipha ema-Israyeli eGibhithe?”
12 Nkulunkulu watsi: “Mine, ngitawuba nawe. Nasi-ke sibonakaliso loyawubona ngaso kutsi ngimi lona lokutfumile: Kuyawutsi nase ubakhiphile bantfu bami eGibhithe, bese niyeta nifike ningikhonte kulentsaba.”
13 Mosi wakhuluma kuNkulunkulu, watsi: “Nangifika kuma-Israyeli ngitsi kubo: ‘Nkulunkulu waboyihlomkhulu ungitfume kini,’ bese bangibuta batsi: ‘Ngubani libito lakhe?’ ngiyawubaphendvula ngitsini?”
14 Nkulunkulu watsi kuMosi: “Nginguye Lenginguye. Nguloko loyawubatjela kona baka-Israyeli, utsi: ‘Nginguye ungitfumile.’ ”
15 Nkulunkulu waphindze watsi kuMosi: “Ubokhuluma kuma-Israyeli utsi: ‘Simakadze, Nkulunkulu wabokhokho benu, naNkulunkulu wabo-Abrahama, naNkulunkulu wa-Isaka, naNkulunkulu waJakobe, ungitfume kini.’ Leli-ke libito lami phakadze naphakadze, tonkhe titukulwane tiyawungibita kanjalo.
16 Hamba uhlanganise baholi bema-Israyeli ndzawonye ukhulume kubo utsi: ‘Simakadze, Nkulunkulu waboyihlomkhulu, Nkulunkulu wabo-Abrahama, na-Isaka, naJakobe, ubonakele kimi, watsi: “Sengikubonile konkhe lokwentiwa ngemaGibhithe kini.
17 Sengincumile kutsi ngitanikhipha ekuhluphekeni kwenu kwaseGibhithe nginimikise eveni lemaKhenani, nemaHethi, nema-Amori, nemaPheresi, nemaHivi, nemaJebhusi, live leligcwele lubisi, neluju lwetinyosi.” ’
18 “Bantfu bami batakulalela loko lokushoko. Wena-ke nebaholi bema-Israyeli nitawube seniya kuFaro, inkhosi yaseGibhithe, nifike nitsi: ‘Simakadze, Nkulunkulu wemaHebheru uhlangene natsi. Sicela kutsi usikhulule sitsatse luhambo lwemalanga lamatsatfu siye ehlane, kuze siyekwenta umhlatjelo kuSimakadze longuNkulunkulu wetfu.’
19 Ngiyati kutsi Faro, inkhosi yaseGibhithe, angeke anivumele ngaphandle kwekutsi avunyiswe sandla lesinemandla.
20 Ngiyakwelula sandla sami ngishaye iGibhithe ngetinhlupheko letinyenti lengiyawutenta kuyo. Emvakwaloko-ke uyawube sewuyanivumela kutsi nihambe.
21 “Ngiyakwenta emaGibhithe kutsi anihloniphe anentele sisa, kuze kutsi nase niphuma, ningahambi ningakaphatsi lutfo.
22 Wonkhe longumfati wem-Israyeli uyawucela kumakhelwane wakhe, acele nome ngukumuphi umfati lohlala ekhaya kakhe kutsi amuphe timphahla tekwembatsa kanye nemihlobiso yesiliva neyegolide. Emadvodzana kanye nemadvodzakati enu ayawuhamba nato letintfo; niyakuwaphundla kanjalo-ke emaGibhithe.”
1 Mosi waphendvula Nkulunkulu watsi: “Ngitawutsini, nangitawutsi ngiyabatjela labantfu bangete bangikholwa bangangilaleli nekungilalela bangitjele batsi: ‘Nkulunkulu akaze abonakale kuwe’?”
2 Simakadze wambuta watsi: “Yini lena lesesandleni sakho?” Waphendvula watsi: “Yindvuku.”
3 Simakadze watsi: “Yijike phansi.” Mosi wayijika phansi, yagucuka lendvuku yaba yinyoka. Mosi wayibalekela.
4 Simakadze watsi kuMosi: “Yelula sandla sakho uyibambe ngemsila.” Ngako Mosi welula sandla sakhe wayibamba ngemsila, yagucuka yaba yindvuku futsi esandleni sakhe.
5 Simakadze wachubeka watsi: “Uyakwenta loko-ke embikwema-Israyeli kuze akukholwe kutsi Simakadze, Nkulunkulu waboyihlomkhulu, Nkulunkulu wa-Abrahama, na-Isaka, naJakobe, utibonakalisile kuwe.”
6 Simakadze wachubeka wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Faka sandla sakho esifubeni sakho.” Mosi wenta njalo; watsi uyasikhipha sandla, saphuma sesinebulephelo, sesimhlophe njengangcocwane.
7 Nkulunkulu wase utsi: “Phindza futsi usifake esifubeni sakho sandla sakho.” Mosi waphindza futsi wasifaka esifubeni; watsi uyasikhipha, saphuma sesite bulephelo, sesifana nemtimba wakhe wonkhe.
8 Nkulunkulu wachubeka watsi: “Nabangakukholwa nome bangasikholwa lesibonakaliso sekucala, lesi sesibili sitawubenta bakukholwe.
9 Nangabe abatikholwa totimbili letibonakaliso bangakwemukeli naloko lokushoko, ubokha emanti emfuleni iNayili uwatsele emhlabatsini lowomile. Lamanti ayawugucuka abe yingati.”
10 Kodvwa Mosi watsi kuSimakadze: “Awu, Simakadze! Mine angisilo libeka ekukhulumeni; ngiyehluleka kukhuluma kahle seloku ngaba khona, nanyalo seloku ngicalile kukhuluma nawe. Ngikhuluma nginamule, kantsi futsi ngiyangingita.”
11 Simakadze watsi kuye: “Ngubani lowanika umuntfu umlomo? Ngubani lowenta umuntfu abe simungulu, nome sihhulu? Ngubani lowenta umuntfu abone nome abe yimphumphutse? Akusimi yini, mine Simakadze?
12 Hamba nyalo! Ngiyawukusita nase ukhuluma, ngikutjele kutsi utawukhuluma utsini.”
13 Kodvwa Mosi waphendvula watsi: “Awu, Nkhosi! Ngicela umane utfume lomunye.”
14 Nkulunkulu watfukutselela Mosi kakhulu, watsi: “Unjani-ke umnakenu Aroni longumLevi? Ngiyati kutsi ulibeka ekukhulumeni. Empeleni sewusendleleni utekuhlangabeta, utawujabula kakhulu enhlitiyweni yakhe nakakubona.
15 Wena-ke ubokhuluma naye umtjele onkhe emagama lofanele kuwasho. Ngiyawunisita nobabili ekukhulumeni, nginitjele kutsi kufanele nenteni.
16 Nguye lotakukhulumela kubantfu, abe ngumlomo wakho, wena ube njengaNkulunkulu kuye.
17 Kodvwa ubotsatsa lendvuku yakho uhambe nayo utakwenta ngayo imimangaliso.”
18 Mosi wabuyela kuJethro, uyisetala, watsi kuye: “Ngicela umane ungivumele ngibuyele eGibhithe, ngiyewuhlola bantfu bakitsi kutsi basekhona yini labasaphila.” Jethro wamvumela, wamvalelisa kahle watsi: “Hamba, ngikufisela inhlanhla lenhle.”
19 Mosi asekaMidiyani, Simakadze abeke wakhuluma watsi: “Ncandzeka ubuyele eGibhithe, ngobe bonkhe labo bebafuna kukubulala sebafile.”
20 Ngako Mosi watsatsa umkakhe nemadvodzana akhe wabagibelisa embongolweni, wahamba wabuyela eGibhithe. Esandleni sakhe Mosi abephetse lendvuku yaNkulunkulu.
21 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Nase ubuyele eGibhithe, ucaphele kutsi uyente embikwaFaro yonkhe lemimangaliso lengikunike emandla ekuyenta. Kodvwa ngiyawuyenta ibe lukhuni inhlitiyo yaFaro, ngako angeke asivumele sive sami kutsi sihambe.
22 Ubokhuluma kuFaro utsi: ‘Simakadze utsi: Israyeli litubulo lami.
23 Ngikutjelile ngatsi: “Khulula indvodzana yami kuze ingikhonte,” kodvwa wena walile kuyikhulula. Ngako-ke ngitawubulala indvodzana yakho yematubulo.’ ”
24 Kwatsi asesendleleni leya eGibhithe, ahleti ethendeni aphumula, Simakadze wafuna kubulala Mosi.
25 Siphora watsatsa litje lelikhaliphako wajuba lijwabu lendvodzana yakhe, walidzaceka etinyaweni taMosi watsi: “Impela wena ungumyeni wami wengati.”
26 Ngaloko Nkulunkulu wase uyamyekela loMosi emvakwekuba Siphora asatsite: “Wena ungumyeni wami wengati” ngekwelisiko lekusoka.
27 Simakadze wakhuluma ku-Aroni, watsi: “Hamba uye ehlane uyewuhlangabeta Mosi.” Ngako-ke Aroni wahamba waya kuyawuhlangabeta Mosi entsabeni yaNkulunkulu, wafike wamanga.
28 Ngako Mosi watjela Aroni konkhe Simakadze labemtfume kona, wamlandzisa nangaletimangaliso abemnikete tona kutsi atente.
29 BoMosi na-Aroni bahamba bafike bahlanganisa bonkhe baholi bema-Israyeli.
30 Aroni wabatjela konkhe Nkulunkulu labekukhulumile kuMosi. Mosi wabakhombisa naletibonakaliso labetinikwe nguNkulunkulu.
31 Ngako bakholwa. Batsi kube beve kutsi Simakadze ubanakile nekutsi abesakubonile kuhlupheka kwabo, bakhotsamisa tinhloko tabo bakhonta Simakadze.
1 Emvakwaloko boMosi na-Aroni bahamba baya kuFaro, bafike batsi: “Simakadze longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Khulula sive sami sihambe, siyewungentela sibhimbi sekungidvumisa ehlane.’ ”
2 Faro wabuta watsi: “Ungubani yena lowo Simakadze, kutsi mine ngingalalela livi lakhe, ngikhulule ema-Israyeli kutsi ahambe? Angimati lowo Simakadze, futsi ngingeke ngisikhulule sive sema-Israyeli kutsi sihambe.”
3 BoMosi na-Aroni bamphendvula batsi: “Nkulunkulu wemaHebheru uhlangene natsi. Sivumele kutsi sitsatse luhambo lwemalanga lamatsatfu, siye ehlane, siyewunikela ngemhlatjelo kuSimakadze longuNkulunkulu wetfu; ngobe nasingakwenti loko, utasishaya ngesifo lesingelapheki nome asibulale ngemphi.”
4 Kodvwa lenkhosi yaseGibhithe yatsi kubo: “Nine Mosi, nawe Aroni, labantfu nibayekeliseleni umsebenti wabo? Buyelani emsebentini wenu nine.”
5 Wachubeka Faro watsi: “Ase nibuke nje, labantfu sebanyenti kakhulu lapha eveni. Nyalo senibayekelisa lemitfwalo yabo!”
6 Ngalo lelo langa Faro wanika tindvuna nebashayeli bakakhe imitsetfo yemisebenti, watsi:
7 “Labantfu ningabobe nisabaletsela tjani bekufoloma titini, njengobe benenta. Kodvwa babosale sebatifunela bona tjani.
8 Kodvwa nome kunjalo, lesitoko sabo setitini lekufanele batifolome ngelilanga singehliswa, ngobe mncane kakhulu lomsebenti labawentako; bayavilapha, ngiko nje balibele kukhonona ngekutsi: ‘Sikhulule siyewunikela ngemhlatjelo kuNkulunkulu wetfu.’
9 Wengetele umsebenti lomnyenti lamadvodza atewusebenta angacedzi, kuze ayekele lokulibala ngemanga.”
10 Ngako-ke bashayeli netindvuna takakhe tabuyela kuma-Israyeli, tafike tatsi kuwo: “Utsi Faro: ‘Ngingeke ngisaninika tjani bekufoloma.
11 Tifuneleni nine tjani nome ngukuphi lapho ningabutfola khona; kodvwa sitoko semsebenti wenu singeke sincishiswe.’ ”
12 Ngako-ke ema-Israyeli asakateka nalo lonkhe live laseGibhithe afunana netjani.
13 Bashayeli bawo betama kuwacindzetela, batsi: “Cedzani umsebenti wenu wesitoko selilanga ngelilanga, kufanane nje nangesikhatsi tjani nisabuletselwa.”
14 Tindvuna tema-Israyeli letatibekwe bashayeli baFaro tabhanjabulwa tabutwa kutsi: “Kuye ngani kutsi ningasenti sitoko semsebenti wekufoloma titini itolo nome lamuhla njengawo onkhe emalanga?”
15 Tindvuna tema-Israyeli takhala, tashuca taya kuFaro, tafike tatsi: “Hhawu, nkhosi! Utiphatselani kanjena letinceku takho?
16 Tinceku takho atisanikwa nakunikwa tjani, kodvwa kusajinge kutsiwe: ‘Folomani titini.’ Tinceku takho tiyabhanjabulwa, kantsi licala likulabantfu bakho.”
17 Faro wabaphendvula watsi: “Niyavilapha! Anifuni kusebenta! Ngiko nilibele kutsi: ‘Sicela mane sihambe siyewunikela ngemihlatjelo kuSimakadze.’
18 Ncandzekani nibuyele emsebentini wenu! Akunatjani nitabuniketwa la, kodvwa kusafuneka nente leso sitoko setitini lenanisenta nisaletselwa tjani.”
19 Tindvuna tema-Israyeli tavele tabona kutsi tisenhluphekweni nakutsiwa: “Akufanele lesitoko setitini sehle kulelinani benilifoloma nisaletselwa tjani.”
20 Tatsi tindvuna natisuka lapho kuFaro, tahlangana naboMosi na-Aroni lababevele bemele tona.
21 Takhuluma kuboMosi na-Aroni tatsi: “Shangatsi Simakadze angakubona loko lesenikwentile, anijezise, ngobe senente liphunga letfu lenyanyeka kuFaro nakutiphatsimandla takhe. Senibahlomisile kuze kutsi basibulale kalula.”
22 Mosi wabuyela kuSimakadze, watsi: “Awu, Simakadze, ubaphatselani ngesihluku labantfu bakho? Wangitfumelani la?
23 Seloku ngicalile kuya kuFaro kuyewukhuluma egameni lakho, ubaphatse ngesihluku labantfu. Kute nelusito lolwentile kubalamulela kulenhlupheko.”
1 Simakadze watsi kuMosi: “Utawubona-ke nyalo lengitakwenta kuFaro. Utabakhulula bantfu bami bahambe ngenca yesandla lesinemandla; yebo, ngenca yesandla sami lesinemandla uyawubacosha besuke eveni lakhe.”
2 Nkulunkulu wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “NginguSimakadze.
3 Ngabonakala ku-Abrahama, naku-Isaka, nakuJakobe kutsi nginguNkulunkulu Somandla, kodvwa angizange ngibatise lelibito lami lelingcwele, Simakadze.
4 Ngaphindze ngenta sivumelwane sami kanye nabo, ngabetsembisa kutsi ngiyawubanika live laseKhenani, lapho babehlala khona njengetihambi.
5 Ngikuvile, futsi, kububula nekukhala kwesive sami ema-Israyeli lagcilatwe ngemaGibhithe; ngisikhumbulile sivumelwane sami.
6 Ngako-ke tjela ema-Israyeli utsi: ‘NginguSimakadze; ngitanikhulula kulokugcilatwa kwenu ngemaGibhithe. Ngengalo yami leyelulekile nangetento temandla lengiyawubajezisa ngato ngiyawunephula kubo.
7 Ngitanenta nibe sive sami, mine ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu. Nine-ke niyawungati kutsi nginguSimakadze longuNkulunkulu wenu lowanikhipha ngaphansi kwelijoko laseGibhithe.
8 Ngitaningenisa eveni njengobe ngafunga ngekuphakamisa tandla kutsi ngitalinika bo-Abrahama, na-Isaka, naJakobe. Ngitanipha lona libe live lenu. NginguSimakadze.’ ”
9 Mosi wawatjela loko ema-Israyeli, kodvwa akazange amlalele, ngobe umoya wawo wawephulwe sihluku nekugcilatwa kwawo.
10 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi:
11 “Hamba utjele Faro, inkhosi yaseGibhithe, kutsi akakhulule ema-Israyeli aphume kulelive lakhe.”
12 Kodvwa Mosi waphendvula Simakadze, watsi: “Ingani ema-Israyeli akangilaleli; pho, Faro angangilalela kanjani? Angisilo libeka ekukhulumeni.”
13 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi na-Aroni, watsi: “Tjelani ema-Israyeli naFaro, inkhosi yaseGibhithe, kutsi nginitfume kutsi nihole ema-Israyeli aphume eGibhithe.”
14 Laba-ke baholi betive tabo: Emadvodzana aRubeni, labelitubulo la-Israyeli: bekuboHanoki, naPhalu, naHesroni, naKhami; leyo-ke bekungimindeni yakaRubeni.
15 Emadvodzana aSimeyoni bekuboJemuweli, naJamini, na-Ohadi, naJakhini, naSohari, naShawula, indvodzana yemKhenanikati; leyo-ke bekungimindeni yakaSimeyoni.
16 Lawa ngemabito emadvodzana aLevi: bekuboGeshoni, naKhohati, naMerari; leyo-ke bekungimindeni yakaLevi. Levi waphila wadzimate waba neminyaka leli-137 budzala.
17 Emadvodzana aGeshoni, ngemindeni yayo, bekuboLibni naShimeyi.

25 Eleyazare, umsa wa-Aroni, watsatsa indvodzakati yaPhutiyeli; wamtalela Finehasi. Ngito leti-ke tinhloko tetindlu temaLevi ngemindeni yato.
26 Bo-Aroni naMosi ngibo lakhuluma kubo Simakadze, watsi: “Khiphani sive sema-Israyeli onkhe eveni laseGibhithe.”
27 Ngibo lababekhuluma naFaro, inkhosi yaseGibhithe, kutsi akakhulule sive sema-Israyeli siphume eGibhithe.
28 Mhlazana Nkulunkulu akhuluma kuMosi aseveni laseGibhithe,
29 watsi: “NginguSimakadze. Tjela Faro, inkhosi yaseGibhithe, konkhe loko lengikutjela kona.”
30 Kodvwa Mosi waphendvula Nkulunkulu watsi: “Nawe uyati kutsi angisilo libeka ekukhulumeni; pho, Faro angangilalela kanjani?”
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Buka la, wena ngitakwenta ufane naNkulunkulu kuFaro; Aroni, umnakenu, yena abe ngumphrofethi wakho.
2 Wena utawutjela Aroni konkhe loko lengikuyale ngako; yena-ke utabe sewutjela Faro kutsi akhulule sive sami, ema-Israyeli, siphume eveni lakhe.
3 Kodvwa ngitayenta ibe lukhuni inhlitiyo yaFaro, nome ngingaze ngente tibonakaliso netimangaliso letinyenti la eveni laseGibhithe.
4 Faro angeke anilalele, ngako-ke ngiyakwehlisela sandla sami eGibhithe, ngiyijezise kabuhlungu, ngikhiphe sive sami, bantfwana baka-Israyeli, eGibhithe.
5 EmaGibhithe ngulapho ayawungati khona kutsi nginguSimakadze, nase ngelule sandla sami ngikhulula ema-Israyeli emkhatsini wawo.”
6 BoMosi na-Aroni benta njengobe babeyalwe nguSimakadze.
7 Mosi abesaneminyaka lengema-80, kantsi Aroni abesaneminyaka lengema-83, nabakhulumisana naFaro.
8 Simakadze wakhuluma kuboMosi na-Aroni, watsi:
9 “Faro nakatsi: ‘Ase nente ummangaliso lotanifakazela,’ ubotsi ku-Aroni: ‘Tsatsa indvuku yakho uyijike phansi embikwaFaro, itawugucuka ibe yinyoka.’ ”
10 Ngako-ke boMosi na-Aroni baya kuFaro befike benta njengobe Nkulunkulu abebayalile. Aroni wajika indvuku yakhe phansi embikwaFaro netiphatsimandla takhe, indvuku yagucuka yaba yinyoka.
11 Faro wabita tihlakaniphi kanye nalabalumbako bakakhe. Nabo labalumbi baseGibhithe bakwenta loko ngemilingo yabo.
12 Nabo batijika phansi tindvuku tabo, tagucuka taba tinyoka. Kodvwa indvuku ya-Aroni yatimita tonkhe leti letinye tindvuku.
13 Inhlitiyo yaFaro yajinge yaba lukhuni, akazange abalalele, njengobe Simakadze abeshito.
14 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Inhlitiyo yaFaro seyilukhuni, uyala kukhulula labantfu kutsi bahambe.
15 Hamba uye kuFaro ekuseni ngesikhatsi aya emfuleni iNayili, ubommela elusentseni lwayo. Uboyiphatsa lendvuku leyagucuka yaba yinyoka.
16 Ubokhuluma kuye utsi: ‘Simakadze, Nkulunkulu wemaHebheru, ungitfume kuwe watsi ngibofike ngitsi: “Khulula sive sami sihambe, khona sitewungikhonta ehlane;” kodvwa kuze kube ngumanje usengakakwenti loko lengikutjela kona.
17 Utsi-ke Simakadze: “Loku lengitakwenta ngiko lokutakwenta wati kutsi nginguSimakadze.” Ngitawushaya lamanti emfula iNayili ngalendvuku lesesandleni sami, bese-ke onkhe lamanti ayagucuka aba yingati.
18 Tonkhe tinhlanti titakufa, bese lomfula unuka luvundze kangangobe emaGibhithe atakwehluleka ngisho nekunatsa emanti awo.’ ”
19 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Khuluma ku-Aroni utsi: ‘Tsatsa indvuku yakho uyengamise yonkhe imifula, nemisele yayo, netitiba tayo, netitiba tekwakhiwa la eGibhithe. Lamanti atawugucuka abe yingati, lonkhe live laseGibhithe, ngisho nasetitjeni letentiwe ngetigodvo naletentiwe ngematje.’ ”
20 BoMosi na-Aroni benta njengobe babeyalwe nguSimakadze. Aroni waphakamisa indvuku yakhe embikwaFaro netiphatsimandla takhe washaya emanti emfula iNayili. Onkhe emanti lakuyo agucuka aba yingati.
21 Tinhlanti temfula tafa, iNayili yanuka luvundze kangangekutsi emaGibhithe ehluleka kuwanatsa emanti ayo. Live lonkhe laseGibhithe lagcwala ingati.
22 Labalumbi baseGibhithe nabo bakwenta loko ngemilingo yabo. Ngako-ke inhlitiyo yaFaro yachubeka yaba lukhuni kakhulu, akazange akulalele loko babemtjela kona, kwaya njengobe Simakadze abeshito.
23 Faro wancandzeka wabuyela esigodlweni sakhe; akazange akunake ngisho nakancane loko.
24 Onkhe emaGibhithe agubha emanti elusentseni lwemfula iNayili, ngobe emanti ayo abengasanatseki.
25 Kwendlula emalanga lasikhombisa Simakadze awashayile emanti emfula iNayili.
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Hamba uye kuFaro umtjele kutsi Simakadze utsi: ‘Khulula sive sami sihambe, khona sitekungikhonta.
2 Nawala kusikhulula, live lakho lonkhe ngitalishaya ngetigogodvolo.
3 Umfula iNayili utawugcwala tigogodvolo, tize tenyukele ngisho nasesigodlweni sakho, nasekamelweni lakho lekulala, nasembhedzeni wakho, nasetindlini tetiphatsimandla takho, nakutakhamiti takho, nakubohhavini bakho, nasetitjeni tenhlama.
4 Letigogodvolo tiyawugcumela etikwakho, nasetikwebantfu bakho, nasetikwetiphatsimandla takho tonkhe.’ ”
5 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Tjela Aroni utsi: ‘Yelula sandla sakho lesinendvuku usibhekise ngasemifuleni, nasemachaphotini, nasetitibeni wente tigogodvolo tiphumele ngaphandle emhlabatsini eveni laseGibhithe.’ ”
6 Ngako-ke Aroni wayengamisa etikwemanti aseGibhithe. Tigogodvolo taphuma tananabuka nalo lonkhe live laseGibhithe.
7 Nalabalumbi benta njalo ngemilingo yabo; tigogodvolo batikhiphela emhlabatsini eveni laseGibhithe.
8 Faro wabita boMosi na-Aroni; befika, watsi kubo: “Thandazani kuSimakadze nimcele kutsi esuse letigogodvolo la kimi nakulesive sami. Ngitawube sengiyabakhulula labantfu benu bahambe, khona batawunikela imihlatjelo kuSimakadze.”
9 Mosi waphendvula Faro watsi: “Anginike wena emandla nelilungelo lekungibekela sikhatsi lengingakuthandazela ngaso wena netiphatsimandla takho kanye nesive sakho, kutsi tiphele letigogodvolo lapha emkhatsini wenu nasetindlini tenu, tisale emfuleni iNayili kuphela.”
10 Faro wamphendvula watsi: “Kusasa.” Mosi watsi: “Kulungile, nkhosi, kutakwenteka njengobe ufuna, kuze wati kutsi kute lofanana naSimakadze longuNkulunkulu wetfu.
11 Letigogodvolo titawusuka kuwe, nasetindlini takho, nasetiphatsimandleni takho, nasesiveni sakho. Titawusala emfuleni iNayili kuphela.”
12 BoMosi na-Aroni besuka kuFaro bahamba. Mosi wafike wathandaza kuSimakadze amcela kutsi esuse letigogodvolo letase titseleke etikwaFaro.
13 Simakadze wenta njengesicelo saMosi. Tafa tonkhe tigogodvolo letatisetindlini, nasetibuyeni, nasemasimini.
14 EmaGibhithe atibutsisa ndzawonye taba tincumbi letinkhulu. Lonkhe live lanuka luboti.
15 Kodvwa Faro watsi kube abone kutsi tigogodvolo setifile, wenta inhlitiyo yakhe yaba lukhuni, njengobe abevele ashito Simakadze. Faro akazange abalalele boMosi na-Aroni kutsi batsini.
16 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Khuluma ku-Aroni utsi: ‘Yelula indvuku yakho ushaye lutfuli lwemhlabatsi ngalendvuku yakho, lonkhe lutfuli lwelive laseGibhithe lutawugucuka lube timbuzulwane.’ ”
17 Bavele bakwenta loko. Aroni welula sandla sakhe, washaya lutfuli lwemhlabatsi ngendvuku yakhe; lonkhe lutfuli lwagucuka lwaba timbuzulwane letahlasela bantfu netilwane. Lonkhe lutfuli lwemhlabatsi eGibhithe lwagucuka lwaba timbuzulwane.
18 Labalumbako benta butsi bekwenta imilingo; kodvwa behluleka kwenta timbuzulwane. Letimbuzulwane tahlasela bantfu kanye nemfuyo.
19 Labalumbako bakhuluma kuFaro batsi: “Ngumuno waNkulunkulu-ke lo!” Kodvwa inhlitiyo yaFaro yaba lukhuni; akazange akunake lokwakushiwo boMosi na-Aroni, njengobe abevele ashito Simakadze.
20 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Vuka ekuseni ngeluvivi, umele Faro nakaya emfuleni, ufike kuye utsi: ‘Simakadze utsi: Khulula bantfu bami bahambe, khona batewungikhonta.
21 Nawungabakhululi bantfu bami kutsi bahambe, ngitawutfumela libulo letibawu kuwe, nakutiphatsimandla takho, nasesiveni sakho, nasetindlini takho. Tindlu temaGibhithe tiyawugcwala tibawu, tembese ngisho nelive lawo lonkhe.
22 Kodvwa live laseGosheni, lapho kuhlala khona sive sami, ngitaliphephisa; bangeke bahlaselwe tibawu, khona utekwati kutsi mine, Simakadze, ngikhona kulelive.
23 Ngitakwenta umehluko emkhatsini wesive sami nesive sakho. Lesishayo sitakwenteka kusasa loku lokusako.’ ”
24 Simakadze wavele wakwenta loko. Watfumela lifu letibawu esigodlweni saFaro, nasetindlini tetiphatsimandla takhe, naseveni lonkhe laseGibhithe. Tibawu talibhubhisa live lonkhe laseGibhithe.
25 Faro wase ubita boMosi na-Aroni; befika, watsi kubo: “Hambani niyewunikela imihlatjelo kuloNkulunkulu wenu, kodvwa ningaphumi kulo lelive.”
26 Mosi wamphendvula watsi: “Cha, kungeke kulunge loko, ngobe leminikelo yetfu yemihlatjelo itawuba sikhubekiso nesicefe kubantfu baseGibhithe. Nasinikela ngemihlatjelo lesinengiso emehlweni abo, bangahlala kanjani bangasigcobi ngematje?
27 Kufanele sitsatse luhambo lwemalanga lamatsatfu siye ehlane, kuze sinikele ngemihlatjelo kuSimakadze, longuNkulunkulu wetfu, njengobe yena asiyalile.”
28 Faro watsi: “Ngitanikhulula-ke kutsi nihambe niye ehlane niyewunikela ngemihlatjelo kuSimakadze, longuNkulunkulu wenu. Kepha noko ningaboya khashane kakhulu. Ngicela mane ningincusele nami.”
29 Mosi wamphendvula watsi: “Nangisuka nje lapha, ngitawuthandaza kuSimakadze kutsi kusasa ekuseni atisuse letibawu lapha kuwe, nakuletiphatsimandla takho, nasesiveni sakho. Kodvwa kubobe awusiyengi futsi ngekutsi ube sewuyabalela labantfu kutsi bayewunikela imihlatjelo kuSimakadze.”
30 Mosi wesuka kuFaro wahamba wayawuthandaza kuSimakadze.
31 Simakadze waphendvula Mosi ngekumnika leso sicelo sakhe. Watisusa letibawu kuFaro, nakuletiphatsimandla takhe, nasesiveni sakhe; akusalanga ngisho nome sinye nje sibawu.
32 Kodvwa Faro waphindze wenta inhlitiyo yakhe yaba lukhuni, wangete wabavumela kutsi bahambe.
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Hamba uye kuFaro ufike utsi: ‘Simakadze, longuNkulunkulu wemaHebheru, utsi: Khulula bantfu bami kutsi bahambe bayewungikhonta.
2 Nangabe wala ungabavumeli bahambe,
3 ngitakushaya kamatima ngekukutfumelela sifo kuto tonkhe tifuyo takho: emahhashi, netimbongolo, nemakamela, netinkhomo, netimvu, netimbuti.
4 Ngitakwenta umehluko emkhatsini wetinkhomo tema-Israyeli netemaGibhithe. Kute nome sinye silwane lesitakufa lesisema-Israyeli.’ ”
5 Simakadze wemisa sikhatsi watsi: “Kusasa Simakadze utakwenta loku lapha eveni.”
6 Ngakusasa Simakadze wakwenta loko abetsite utakwenta. Tonkhe tifuyo temaGibhithe tafa; kodvwa kute nome sinye sifuyo sema-Israyeli lesake safa.
7 Faro watfumela kuyawuhlola, wakhandza kute ngisho nasinye nje silwane sema-Israyeli lesasifile, noko wenta inhlitiyo yakhe yaba lukhuni, wangete wabakhulula kutsi bahambe.
8 Simakadze wase ukhuluma kuMosi naku-Aroni, watsi: “Cuphani ngetandla emabinta emlotsa etiko, Mosi awusakate etulu emoyeni, embikwaFaro abuka.
9 Lomlotsa utawuba njengelutfuli lolucolisakele usibekele lonkhe live laseGibhithe, bese kutsi lapho ufika khona uvete ematfumba lakhamisile emitimbeni yebantfu neyetilwane.”
10 Ngako base bacaphuna umlotsa etiko, bema embikwaFaro, Mosi wawusakata emoyeni, kwase kuvumbuka ematfumba laba tilondza letivulekile kubantfu nasetilwaneni.
11 Labalumbi behluleka kuma embikwaMosi, ngobe kwakutse minci ematfumba emitimbeni yabo nakuwo onkhe emaGibhithe.
12 Kodvwa Simakadze wenta inhlitiyo yaFaro yaba lukhuni, akazange afune kubalalela; kwaya njengobe Simakadze abetjele Mosi.
13 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Ubovuka ekuseni ngeluvivi, uye kuFaro ufike kuye utsi: ‘Simakadze, longuNkulunkulu wemaHebheru, utsi: Khulula bantfu bami bahambe bayekungikhonta.
14 Ngobe manje letishayo ngitatitfumelela kuletiphatsimandla takho nakubantfu bakho ngicedze ngendlulele kuwe imbala, khona utekwati kutsi kute lofanana nami emhlabeni wonkhe jikelele.
15 Kube sandla sami bengisiphakamisele etikwakho ngesifo lesingelapheki, ngabe seniphele nya.
16 Kodvwa noko kuze kube manje ngisakuphephisile, khona ngitekukhombisa emandla ami, nekutsi libito lami litewudvunyiswa emhlabeni wonkhe.
17 Noko nanyalo seloku usatikhukhumeta ngetulu kwebantfu bami, awukabavumeli kutsi bakhululeke bahambe.
18 Asulalele-ke, kusasa ngaso lesikhatsi ngitakwehlisa sangcotfo lesikhulu lesingazange sehle, seloku iGibhithe yaba khona.
19 Nyalo-ke tfumela kutsi tonkhe tifuyo nako konkhe lokusetsafeni kulandvwe kutewukhoseliswa, ngobe sangcotfo sitakwehlela etikwabo bonkhe bantfu netifuyo letisetsafeni letingakakhoseliswa, kufe konkhe.’ ”
20 Letinye tiphatsimandla taFaro tefikelwa kwesaba ngalamavi abesakhulunywe nguSimakadze, taphutfuma tabutsa tigcili tato netifuyo tato.
21 Kodvwa letinye tato atizange tiwanake emavi aSimakadze; ngako tigcili tato netifuyo tato tatiyekelela ngaphandle tangete tatikhoselisa.
22 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Phakamisela sandla sakho etulu, sangcotfo sitakwehlela etikwalo lonkhe live laseGibhithe: etikwebantfu, nasetikwetifuyo, nasetikwetilimo tonkhe emasimini aseGibhithe.”
23 Mosi waphakamisela indvuku yakhe etulu. Simakadze watfumela kudvuma, nesangcotfo, nembane kwehlela emhlabeni, Simakadze wehlisela sangcotfo eveni laseGibhithe;
24 kwehla sangcotfo lesikhulu, kwaphambana nemibane. Kwaba sihhuhhula lesikhulu lesasingazange sesibe khona seloku yaba khona iGibhithe.
25 Sangcotfo sehlela etikwalo lonkhe live laseGibhithe, savitsita konkhe lokwakungephandle, bantfu netifuyo. Savitsita tonkhe tilimo letatisemasimini, saphundla tonkhe tihlahla.
26 Sangcotfo asizange sehle eveni laseGosheni, lapho kwakuhlala khona ema-Israyeli.
27 Faro watfumela kutsi kubitwe boMosi na-Aroni; bafika, watsi kubo: “Cha, sengiyabona kutsi ngonile, Simakadze akoni lutfo. Ngimi nesive sami labonile.
28 Thandazani kuSimakadze. Manje sesidziniwe ngulokudvuma nalesangcotfo. Ngitanikhulula nihambe, akusafuneki nihlale lapha.”
29 Mosi wakhuluma kuye watsi: “Ngitawutsi ngingaphuma la edolobheni, bese ngiphakamisa tandla tami ngithandaze kuSimakadze; lokudvuma kutawukhawula nalesangcotfo siphele, kuze wati kutsi umhlaba ngewaSimakadze.
30 Kodvwa ngiyati kutsi wena netiphatsimandla takho nisengakamesabi Simakadze longuNkulunkulu.”
31 Iflekisi nebhali kwavitsiteka kwaphela nya; phela ibhali yase ivutsiwe, kantsi iflekisi yayisashakata.
32 Kodvwa kolo nesipelite akuvitsitekanga, ngobe kuvutfwa kamuva.
33 Mosi wesuka kuFaro, waphumela ngephandle kwelidolobha, waphakamisa tandla takhe athandaza kuSimakadze, kudvuma nesangcotfo kwancamuka, imvula yaphakamisa.
34 Kodvwa Faro watsi kube abone kutsi imvula nesangcotfo kanye nekudvuma sekukhawulile, waphindze wona; yena netiphatsimandla takhe benta tinhlitiyo tabo taba lukhuni.
35 Ngako-ke inhlitiyo yaFaro yayilukhuni, wangabe asabakhulula bantfwana baka-Israyeli kutsi bahambe; kwaya njengobe abevele ashito Simakadze ngemlomo waMosi.
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Hamba uye kuFaro, ngobe ngiyente yaba lukhuni inhlitiyo yakhe neyetiphatsimandla takhe, kuze ngitekwenta letibonakaliso tami emkhatsini wabo,
2 khona nitekwati kutjela bantfwabenu nebatukulu benu kutsi emaGibhithe ngake ngawenta tilima kanjani ngekwenta letibonakaliso tami emkhatsini wawo. Nonkhe niyawungati kutsi nginguSimakadze.”
3 Ngako-ke boMosi na-Aroni bahamba baya kuFaro, bafike kuye batsi: “Simakadze, longuNkulunkulu wemaHebheru, utsi: ‘Kutawuze kube ngunini seloku wala kutitfoba kimi? Khulula bantfu bami bahambe, khona batewungikhonta.
4 Nawuchubeka wala, ungabakhululi bantfu bami, ngitakuletsela sikhonyane la eveni lakho kusasa lolokusako.
5 Sitawuba sinyenti kangangekutsi sitawusibekela wonkhe umhlaba wakho, kungasabonakali nemhlabatsi. Sitawudla konkhe lokusindze esangcotfweni, ngisho netihlahla letisele tesiganga leticala kuhluma futsi.
6 Sitawugcwala etigodlweni takho, nasetindlini tetiphatsimandla takho, netebantfu bakho baseGibhithe. Ngisho nabokhokho bakho abazange basibone lesinje solomane befika kulelive kuze kube ngunyalo.’ ” Mosi waphuma kuFaro, wahamba.
7 Tiphatsimandla taFaro takhuluma kuye, tatsi: “Kutawuze kube ngunini lomuntfu aluhlupho? Khulula labantfu bahambe, bayewukhonta Simakadze longuNkulunkulu wabo. Awuboni yini kutsi lelive laseGibhithe liyabhubha?”
8 Ngako boMosi na-Aroni baphindze babuyiswa kuFaro, wakhuluma kubo, watsi: “Hambani niyewukhonta Simakadze longuNkulunkulu wenu. Kodvwa empeleni bobani laba lenitawuhamba nabo?”
9 Mosi wamphendvula watsi: “Sitawuhamba sonkhe: kutawuhamba labasha betfu nalabadzala betfu. Sitawuhamba nemadvodzana etfu, nemadvodzakati etfu, netimvu tetfu, netimbuti tetfu, netinkhomo tetfu; ngobe kufanele sibe nemkhosi wekudvumisa Simakadze.”
10 Faro wakhuluma kubo, watsi: “Ngifunga Simakadze ngitsi ngingeke nginikhulule kutsi nihambe nebafati nebantfwabenu! Kuyakhanya kutsi nine nenta lisu lebuphekula.
11 Cha! Lokungenani akuhambe nine madvodza niyewukhonta loSimakadze wenu, ngobe empeleni nguloko lenikufunako.” Bakhishwa embikwaFaro.
12 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Phakamisa tandla takho etikwelive laseGibhithe uletse sikhonyane. Sitawufike sidle yonkhe intfo lemilako lesele kulesangcotfo.”
13 Ngako Mosi waphakamisa indvuku yakhe etikwelive laseGibhithe. Simakadze wakhulula umoya wasemphumalanga kutsi uphephetse eveni lonkhe lelo langa nebusuku balo. Kwatsi kusa, wabe sewusitselile sikhonyane.
14 Sefika silifu, sasibekela lonkhe live laseGibhithe. Sasingazange sesibe khona sikhonyane lesingaka, futsi sasingeyiwuphindza sibe khona.
15 Sasibekela wonkhe umhlaba, kwadzimate kwaba mnyama khwishi. Sadla konkhe lokwakusindze esangcotfweni; sadla tonkhe titselo tetihlahla. Kute lokuluhlata lokwasala etihlahleni nakuto tonkhe tilimo, eveni lonkhe laseGibhithe.
16 Faro washesha wabita boMosi na-Aroni, wafike watsi kubo: “Ngonile kuSimakadze, longuNkulunkulu wenu, ngona nakini.
17 Ngiyacela-ke nyalo kutsi ningitsetselele kube kanye nje; ningithandazele kuSimakadze longuNkulunkulu wenu, kutsi asisuse la kimi lesishayo lesibulalako.”
18 Mosi waphuma kuFaro wayawuncusa kuSimakadze.
19 Simakadze wagucula umoya wasemphumalanga, waba ngumoya lophuma enshonalanga. Lomoya waphephula lesikhonyane wasitsatsa wasilahlela eLwandle Lolubovu. Kute nome sinye sikhonyane lesasala eveni lonkhe laseGibhithe.
20 Kodvwa Simakadze wenta inhlitiyo yaFaro yaba lukhuni, wangete wawakhulula ema-Israyeli kutsi ahambe.
21 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Phakamisela sandla sakho etulu esibhakabhakeni, khona kutewuba nebumnyama lobutsintsekako eveni lonkhe laseGibhithe.”
22 Mosi waphakamisela sandla sakhe etulu esibhakabhakeni, kwaba nebumnyama lobulicinsi, lobasibekela lonkhe live laseGibhithe emalanga lamatsatfu.
23 EmaGibhithe ehluleka kubonana, futsi kwabate umuntfu lowase waphuma lapho ahlala khona kulawo malanga lamatsatfu. Kodvwa ema-Israyeli abenekukhanya lapho abehleti khona.
24 Faro wabita Mosi, wafike watsi kuye: “Hambani niyewukhonta Simakadze; nihambe nebafati benu nebantfwana benu. Intfo nje nishiye timvu, netimbuti, netinkhomo tenu.”
25 Mosi waphendvula Faro watsi: “Kufanele usivumele sibe nemihlatjelo yekushiswa lesitayentela Simakadze, longuNkulunkulu wetfu.
26 Cha, kufanele sihambe netifuyo tetfu; kute nome sinye sifuyo lesitawusala ngemuva. Phela kufanele sihambe naletifuyo siyewukhonta Simakadze, ngobe asati kutsi sitamkhonta ngatiphi, siyawukwati sesifike khona le.”
27 Simakadze wenta inhlitiyo yaFaro yaba lukhuni, akazange abakhulule kutsi bahambe.
28 Faro wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Suka la embikwami! Ngingaphindzi ngikubone futsi! Mhlazana ngakubona, kuyawuba kufa kwakho!”
29 Mosi waphendvula watsi: “Ushito kahle. Awuseyiwuphindza ungibone futsi la embikwakho.”
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Ngisetakwehlisela sinye nje sishayo etikwaFaro neliGibhithe lonkhe. Emvakwaloko utanikhulula kutsi nihambe, empeleni utanicosha niphume niphele kulendzawo.
2 Tjela ema-Israyeli kutsi nguleyo naleyo ndvodza nome umfati, akacele kubomakhelwane bakhe babaphe imihlobiso yekugaba, yesiliva neyegolide.”
3 Simakadze wenta ema-Israyeli kutsi ahlonishwe ngemaGibhithe. Ngetulu kwaloko Mosi waba mkhulu kutiphatsimandla taFaro nakumaGibhithe onkhe.
4 Mosi wakhuluma kuFaro, watsi: “Simakadze utsi: ‘Ekhatsi nebusuku ngitawuhamba ngilidzabule ekhatsi live laseGibhithe,
5 onkhe ematubulo langemadvodzana alapha eGibhithe atakufa, kusukela etubulweni laFaro losesihlalweni sebukhosi kuze kube ngusetubulweni lesigcilikati lesisilako, kufe nawo onkhe ematubulo etifuyo.
6 Kutawuba nesililo lesikhulu lesingazange sesibe khona eveni laseGibhithe, futsi singeke siphindze sibe khona lesifana naso.
7 Kodvwa emkhatsini wema-Israyeli kute nasinye sifuyo nome umuntfu lokutawuhhongelwa ngisho yinja, khona utekwati kutsi mine, Simakadze, ngenta umehluko emkhatsini wemaGibhithe nema-Israyeli.’ ”
8 Mosi wephetsa inkhulumo yakhe ngekutsi: “Tonkhe tiphatsimandla takho tiyawukuta tikhotsame embikwami, tingincenge titsi: ‘Wena, nalabantfu labakulandzelako, hambani la.’ Emvakwaloko-ke ngiyawuvele ngihambe.” Mosi waphuma atfukutsele abila, washiya Faro.
9 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Faro utawujinge ale kukulalela, khona ngitewuchubeka nekwenta leminye imimangaliso eveni laseGibhithe.”
10 BoMosi na-Aroni babeyenta embikwaFaro yonkhe lemimangaliso, kodvwa Simakadze wayenta yaba lukhuni inhlitiyo yaFaro; abejinge achubeke nekwala kukhulula ema-Israyeli kutsi aphume eGibhithe.
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi naku-Aroni baseseGibhithe, watsi:
2 “Lenyanga kufanele ibe yinyanga yekucala emnyakeni wenu.
3 Yendlulisela lomlayeto esiveni sonkhe sema-Israyeli kutsi ngelilanga lelishumi kulenyanga, nguleyo naleyo ndvodza kufanele ikhetsele umndeni wayo lizinyane.
4 Nangabe umndeni umncane kakhulu kutsi ungeke ulicedze lelizinyane, ungalidla ndzawonye namakhelwane wawo, kuye ngebunyenti bebantfu balowo mndeni.
5 Lelizinyane lenu kufanele kube ngulelite sici, libe nemnyaka munye budzala; nilehlukanise nemhlambi wetimvu nome wetimbuti.
6 Niyawuligcina kuze kube lilanga leli-14 kuyo lenyanga kusihlwa, mhlazana sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli sitawahlaba lamazinyane.
7 Lengati ibobhocwa etinsikeni temnyango nangetulu kwawo kuleyondlu lekuyawube kudlelwa kuyo.
8 Kulobo busuku inyama ibokosiwa idliwe kanye nemibhidvo lebabako kanye nesinkhwa lesite imbiliso.
9 Lenyama ningayidli iluhlata nome iphekiwe, kodvwa niboyidla yosiwe yonkhe, kanye nenhloko yayo, nemilente yayo, nekwangekhatsi kwayo.
10 Lenyama niboyidla ningalishiyeli likusasa; nakukhona lesele, niboyishisa.
11 Nibotsi niyidla, nibe tinkhalo tenu tiboshiwe, netinyawo tenu tiseticatfulweni, nendvuku ibe isesandleni; niyidle ngekushesha. Lelo-ke liPhasika lekudvumisa Simakadze.
12 “Ngalobo busuku ngiyawuhamba ngidzabule emkhatsini welive laseGibhithe ngishaye onkhe ematubulo lamadvuna aseGibhithe ebantfu newetifuyo, ngehlulele tonkhe tithico taseGibhithe; nginguSimakadze!
13 Lengati iyawuba luphawu kini, kuletindlu lenitawube ningekhatsi kwato. Nangibona lengati, ngiyakwengca, lesishayo singeke sehlele kini nangijezisa emaGibhithe.
14 Lelilanga liyawuba sikhumbuto kini, niyawuligcina libe lilanga lemkhosi kuSimakadze. Tonkhe titukulwane tenu tiyawulenta libe lilanga lemkhosi kuze kube ngunini nanini.”
15 Simakadze wachubeka watsi: “Sinkhwa lesinembiliso ningabosidla kuze kuphele emalanga lasikhombisa; nibodla sinkhwa lesite imbiliso kuphela. Ngelilanga lekucala niboyisusa yonkhe imbiliso etindlini tenu, ngobe lotawudla lokufakwe imbiliso emkhatsini welilanga lekucala kuze kube lilanga lesikhombisa, utawuncunywa emkhatsini wesive sema-Israyeli.
16 Ngelilanga lekucala nangelilanga lesikhombisa niyawuba nemhlangano longcwele. Kufanele kubete lowenta umsebenti kulawo malanga, kodvwa ningakulungisa kudla lenitakudla.
17 LoMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesingenambiliso niyawuhlala njalo niwenta, ngobe kungalo lelo langa lengakhipha ngalo tive tenu eGibhithe. Lelilanga niyawuligcina titukulwane ngetitukulwane. Kuyawuba nguwona msimeto wenu longeke uphele nome uguculwe.
18 Kusukela kusihlwa ngelilanga leli-14 lenyanga yekucala kuze kube kusihlwa ngelilanga lema-21 ningasidli sinkhwa lesinembiliso.
19 Kuyawuze kuphele emalanga lasikhombisa imbiliso ingatfolakali etindlini tenu; lowo loyawutfolakala kutsi udle lokufakwe imbiliso, uyawuncunywa esiveni sema-Israyeli, nome ngabe wekutalwa, nome ngabe wekuhamba kulelo live.
20 Ningakudli lokufakwe imbiliso, yonkhe indzawo lapho nihlala khona nibodla sinkhwa lesite imbiliso.”
21 Mosi wase ubita bonkhe baholi baka-Israyeli, wakhuluma kubo watsi: “Ngulowo nalowo mndeni awutikhetsele liwundlu ulihlabele liPhasika,
22 utsatse sitfungo sehisophu usenye engatini lesemgezelweni bese uyibhoca etinsikeni temnyango emaceleni nasetulu kwawo kuleyondlu lapho uhleti khona. Kufanele kungabikho muntfu lophumako kuleyondlu kuze kube ngusekuseni.
23 Kutawutsi Simakadze nadzabula live, atewubulala emaGibhithe, abone ingati etinsikeni nasetulu eminyango yenu, bese uyendlula angayivumeli ingilosi yekufa kutsi ingene etindlini tenu inibulale.
24 Lemiyalo niyawuyigcina nine netitukulwane tenu kuze kube nguphakadze naphakadze.
25 Lomkhosi niyawuchubeka kuwenta nome seningenile eveni Simakadze laninika lona njengobe abetsembisile.
26 Nangabe bantfwana benu banibuta batsi: ‘Niwentelani lomkhosi?’
27 niyawubaphendvula nitsi: ‘Lona ngumhlatjelo weliPhasika wekudvumisa Simakadze, ngobe watengca tindlu tema-Israyeli eGibhithe, ngesikhatsi Simakadze abulala ematubulo emaGibhithe, tsine wasiphephisa.’ ” Ema-Israyeli aguca phansi akhotsama.
28 Ahamba-ke ema-Israyeli ayawukwenta njengobe abeyalwe nguSimakadze ngaMosi na-Aroni.
29 Ekhatsi nebusuku Simakadze wabulala onkhe ematubulo eveni laseGibhithe: kusukela esigodlweni etubulweni laFaro lelaliyindlalifa yakhe, kuye etubulweni lesiboshwa lesisejele, nasematubulweni etifuyo.
30 Kulobo busuku Faro, netiphatsimandla takhe, nemaGibhithe onkhe bavuka; kwaba nekukhala nekulila lokukhulu eveni lonkhe laseGibhithe, ngobe kute umuti lowawungenamuntfu lofile.
31 Ngabo lobo busuku Faro wabita boMosi na-Aroni; befika, watsi kubo: “Hambani la! Sukani emkhatsini webantfu bami, ngisho nine nawo onkhe ema-Israyeli. Hambani niyewukhonta Simakadze njengekucela kwenu.
32 Hambani nemihlambi yenu yetimvu, neyetimbuti, neyetinkhomo, nisuke nihambe la. Ningibusise nami.”
33 EmaGibhithe akhutsalela kugcugcutela ema-Israyeli kutsi aphume eGibhithe ngekushesha, atsi: “Natsi sitakufa sonkhe, naningahambi nine.”
34 Ngako bantfu bagcwalisa titja ngenhlama leyayite imbiliso batigocotela ngetimphahla tabo tekwembatsa batetjatsa emahlombe.
35 Ema-Israyeli enta njengobe abeyalwe nguMosi, ngobe ase ayicelile imihlobiso yegolide, neyesiliva, kanye nekwekwembatsa.
36 Simakadze wenta emaGibhithe kutsi atsambele ema-Israyeli ngekutsi awaphe konkhe labekucela. Ema-Israyeli awaphanga kanjalo-ke emaGibhithe.
37 Ema-Israyeli aphuma eRamsesi; ahamba aze efika eSukhothi. Emadvodza labekhona lapho ahamba ngetinyawo abengaba ti-600 000 ngaphandle kwebafati nebantfwana.
38 Bahamba nenhlanganisela lenkhulu yebantfu betive ngetive, nemihlambi lemikhulu yetimbuti neyetimvu, kanye neyetinkhomo.
39 Benta tinkhwa letite imbiliso ngenhlama lababesuke nayo eGibhithe, ngobe bakhishwa ngendluzula bangabe basasitfola nesikhatsi sekutilungiselela ingcamu imbala.
40 Ema-Israyeli abesahlale eGibhithe iminyaka lengema-430.
41 Tonkhe letive tema-Israyeli taphuma eveni laseGibhithe mhlazana kuhlangana leminyaka lengema-430.
42 Kwakubusuku Simakadze lalindzela ngabo kuze abakhiphe eGibhithe; ngako-ke lobo busuku behlukaniselwa Simakadze kutsi ema-Israyeli onkhe alindzele ngabo titukulwane ngetitukulwane.
43 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi naku-Aroni, watsi: “Lena-ke ngimitsetfo lecondzene neliPhasika: Kufanele kubete wetive lolidlako;
44 kodvwa sonkhe sigcili lesidvuna lenisitsengile singalidla, nangabe senisisokile.
45 Kufanele kubete wekuhamba nome sisebenti lesicashiwe lesilidlako.
46 Konkhe lokudla kweliPhasika kufanele kudliwe kuphelele kuleyondlu, kungaphunyelwa nako ngephandle; lingephulwa nome linye litsambo.
47 Sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli kufanele siwugubhe loMkhosi.
48 Nangabe kunewetive lowakhe emkhatsini wenu lofisa kuwugcina naye lomkhosi, kufanele bonkhe labadvuna labasendlini yakhe basokwe. Naye-ke angalidla, ngobe sewuyawutsatfwa njengewekutalwa. Longakasoki akufanele alidle leliPhasika.
49 Niyawuba nemtsetfo munye nine ma-Israyeli ekutalwa nalabo labangumsinsi wekumbelwa labakhe emkhatsini wenu.”
50 Onkhe ema-Israyeli akwenta konkhe loko labetjelwe kona nguSimakadze ngaboMosi na-Aroni.
51 Simakadze wawakhipha ngalo lelo langa ema-Israyeli eGibhithe ngetive tawo.
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi:
2 “Nikela kimi ngako konkhe kwematubulo. Konkhe lokuvula sitalo kuma-Israyeli, nome kwebantfu nome kwesifuyo, kwami.”
3 Mosi wakhuluma kubantfu, watsi: “Nibolikhumbula lelilanga leniphume ngalo eGibhithe, endlini yebugcili, ngobe Simakadze unikhiphe ngesandla sakhe lesinemandla kulendzawo. Ningasidli sinkhwa lesifakwe imbiliso.
4 Lamuhla kulenyanga ya-Abibi niyaphuma lapha eGibhithe.
5 Lomkhosi niyakuwugubha ngayo lenyanga, yonkhe iminyaka, Simakadze nase aningenisile eveni lemaKhenani, nelemaHethi, nelema-Amori, nelemaHivi, nelemaJebhusi. Live, leligcwele lubisi neluju lwetinyosi, Simakadze wafunga ngalo kubokhokho benu kutsi uyakunipha lona.
6 Niyakudla sinkhwa lesite imbiliso emalanga lasikhombisa; ngelilanga lesikhombisa kufanele kube nemkhosi wekudvumisa Simakadze.
7 Sinkhwa lesite imbiliso niyakusidla emalanga lasikhombisa. Kufanele nibete sinkhwa lesinembiliso, ingabonakali ngisho nekubonakala imbiliso eveni lenu lonkhe.
8 Ngalelo langa lemkhosi kufanele kutsi ngulowo nalowo atjele indvodzana yakhe atsi: ‘Lomkhosi ngiwugubha ngenca yaloko Simakadze langentela kona mhlazana ngiphuma eGibhithe.’
9 Lomkhosi uyawufanana nesibonakaliso lesiboshelwe esandleni sakho nesikhumbuto lesinanyatsiselwe ebuntini lakho. Loko kuyawunikhumbuta kutsi umtsetfo waSimakadze niwati ngenhloko nikhulume ngawo, ngobe Simakadze wanikhipha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe lesinemandla.
10 Lomkhosi seniyakuwugubha yonkhe iminyaka ngesikhatsi sawo.”
11 “Simakadze utaningenisa eveni lemaKhenani lanetsembisa lona nine nabokhokho benu, wacinisa setsembiso sakhe ngekufunga. Nakanipha lelive,
12 niyawulehlukanisela Simakadze litubulo lelingumfana. Onkhe ematubulo etifuyo letidvuna ayakuba ngewaSimakadze.
13 Litubulo lembongolo niyawulihlenga ngelizinyane; nangabe anilihlengi, niyawulephula intsamo yalo. Onkhe ematubulo labafana niyakuwahlenga.
14 Nangabe indvodzana yakho ibuta itsi: ‘Nikwentelani loku?’ uboyiphendvula utsi: ‘Simakadze wasebentisa sandla sakhe lesinemandla kusikhipha eGibhithe, lapho sasitigcili khona.
15 Ngesikhatsi Faro enta inhlitiyo yakhe iba lukhuni, ala kusikhulula kutsi sihambe, Simakadze wabulala onkhe ematubulo ebantfu baseGibhithe kanye newetifuyo taseGibhithe. Ngiko nje nginikela kuSimakadze onkhe ematubulo lamadvuna; kodvwa onkhe emadvodzana langematubulo ngiyawahlenga.’
16 Lelisiko liyawufanana nesibonakaliso lesiboshelwe esandleni sakho, kube luphawu ebuntini lakho; ngobe Simakadze wasikhipha eGibhithe ngesandla sakhe lesinemandla.”
17 Ngesikhatsi Faro akhulula sive sema-Israyeli, Nkulunkulu akawahambisanga ngendlela lejubako leyayidzabula eveni lemaFilisti. Nkulunkulu wacabanga watsi: “Angifuni kubahambisa ngalendlela, ngobe nase kufanele babhekane nemphi, bangahle bajikise tingcondvo bese babuyela eGibhithe.”
18 Esikhundleni saloko, Nkulunkulu sive sema-Israyeli wasihola ngendlela lendze lejika ehlane lelingaseLwandle Lolubovu, sive sema-Israyeli saphuma eGibhithe sihleleke njengemphi.
19 Mosi watsatsa ematsambo aJosefa wahamba nawo, ngobe abebafungisile bantfwana baka-Israyeli kutsi babowatsatsa. Abekhulume kubo watsi: “Nkulunkulu uyakuta anisite; nalifika lelo langa nibowatsatsa lamatsambo ami nihambe nawo.”
20 Batfutsa eSukhothi bemisa e-Ethamu, emnyeleni welihlane.
21 Emini Simakadze abehamba embikwabo ngensika yelifu abakhombisa indlela, bese kutsi ebusuku ahambe embikwabo ngensika yemlilo kuze abakhanyisele indlela, khona batewuhamba busuku nemini.
22 Njalo nje emini insika yelifu yayiba sembikwabo, nasebusuku insika yemlilo yayingesuki embikwabo.
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi:
2 “Tjela ema-Israyeli kutsi akancandzeke ayekumisa embikwePhi Hahirothi emkhatsini weMigdoli neLwandle Lolubovu. Afanele emise eceleni kwelwandle abhekane ngco naBhali Sefoni.
3 Faro utawucabanga kutsi sive sema-Israyeli sesididekile, sivinjetelwe lihlane.
4 Ngitakwenta inhlitiyo yaFaro ibe lukhuni, bese uyanicosha, kodvwa ngiyawutentela ludvumo, ngincobe Faro nemabutfo akhe. EmaGibhithe ayawuhlala ati kutsi mine nginguSimakadze.” Ema-Israyeli enta njalo.
5 Kwatsi Faro, inkhosi yaseGibhithe, nabikelwa kutsi ema-Israyeli asahambile, Faro netiphatsimandla takhe bagucula umcondvo wabo. Batsi: “Hawu, yini lena lesesiyentile? Sesiyekele ema-Israyeli ahamba! Sesilahlekelwe tigcili!”
6 Faro walungisa incola yakhe yemphi kanye nemabutfo akhe.
7 Watsatsa tincola temphi telikhetselo letatingema-600 nato tonkhe letinye tincola temphi taseGibhithe, kwaba nguleyo naleyo yabekelwa tindvuna.
8 Simakadze wenta inhlitiyo yaFaro yaba lukhuni. Faro waphuma nemphi yakhe wacosha ema-Israyeli labesaphumile ahamba ngesibindzi.
9 Emabutfo emaGibhithe labenemahhashi, netincola temphi, nebagibeli bato acosha ema-Israyeli, awakhandzanisa lapho abemise khona ngaseLwandle Lolubovu eceleni kwePhi Hahirothi embikweBhali Sefoni.
10 Ema-Israyeli atsi ayabuka abona Faro etile nemphi yakhe asondzela, ase efikelwa kwesaba lokukhulu. Atikhalela kuSimakadze.
11 Atsi kuMosi: “Kungobe bekute yini emathuna lena eGibhithe lokutsi uze usikhiphe usiletse sitewufela lapha ehlane? Yini lena losentele yona? Usikhipheleni le eGibhithe?
12 Asizange sikutjele yini siseseGibhithe satsi: ‘Hlukana natsi, usiyekele sigcilatwe ngemaGibhithe lokungenani’? Bekuyawuba ncono kube mane wasiyekela sagcilatwa ngemaGibhithe kunekutsi sitewufela lapha ehlane.”
13 Mosi wabaphendvula watsi: “Ningesabi, manini sibindzi, nicine, nitawubona kusindzisa kwaSimakadze latanentela kona lamuhla. LamaGibhithe leniwabonako lamuhla aniseyiwuphindze niwabone futsi.
14 Simakadze utanilwela; nine thulani nje.”
15 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Ukhalelani kimi? Tjela ema-Israyeli kutsi akachubekele embili.
16 Phakamisa indvuku yakho uyengamise etikwelwandle. Emanti atakwehlukana ekhatsi, kuze sive sema-Israyeli sewele lwandle sihamba emhlabatsini lowomile.
17 Tinhlitiyo temaGibhithe ngitente taba lukhuni kangangekutsi atanilandzela, kodvwa ngitatentela ludvumo ngekuncoba Faro, nemabutfo akhe, lanemahhashi netincola temphi.
18 EmaGibhithe ayawungati kutsi mine nginguSimakadze, nase ngiwancobile ngisho naFaro nemphi yakhe, netincola takhe temphi nebagibeli bemahhashi akhe imbala.”
19 Ingilosi yaNkulunkulu leyayihamba embikwesive sema-Israyeli yakhwesha nyova, yema ngemuva kwaso; nayo lensika yelifu yesuka embikwabo yema emvakwabo,
20 yabasemkhatsini wesive saseGibhithe nesive sema-Israyeli. Lelifu laba bumnyama esiveni saseGibhithe, kodvwa laba kukhanya esiveni sema-Israyeli ngabo bonkhe lobo busuku. Sive semaGibhithe nesive sema-Israyeli atizange tihlangane.
21 Mosi welula sandla sakhe wasengamisa etikwelwandle, Simakadze wakhweshisa emanti elwandle ngemoya lonemandla wasemphumalanga lowahhusha busuku bonkhe. Wenta lwandle lwaba ngumhlabatsi lowomile; emanti ehlukana ekhatsi.
22 Sive sema-Israyeli sewela Lwandle Lolubovu sihamba emhlabatsini lowomile, emanti aba tindvonga ngesekudla nangesancele sabo.
23 EmaGibhithe acosha ema-Israyeli awalandzela, angena ekhatsi nelwandle ngemahhashi awo onkhe, netincola tawo temphi kanye nebashayeli bato.
24 Kwatsi kuseluvivi, Simakadze wabuka phansi asensikeni yemlilo neyelifu abuka imphi yemaGibhithe, emabutfo aseGibhithe wawasanganisa.
25 Wenta kutsi emasondvo etincola temphi abhajwe adzimate ahamba matima. EmaGibhithe atsi: “Asibaleke sisuke la kuma-Israyeli, ngobe Simakadze uyawalwela.”
26 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Yelula sandla sakho usengamise etikwelwandle, khona lamanti atewukwehlela atseleke etikwemaGibhithe, nasetikwetincola tawo temphi kanye nasetikwebagibeli bawo bemahhashi.”
27 Ngako Mosi welula sandla sakhe wasengamisa etikwelwandle, emanti abuyela endzaweni yawo nakudzabuka kusa; emaGibhithe atsi ayabaleka emanti awakhukhula. Simakadze wawatsintsitsela ekujuleni kwelwandle onkhe emaGibhithe.
28 Emanti abuya ambonya tincola temphi, nebagibeli bemahhashi, nawo onkhe emabutfo aFaro labecosha ema-Israyeli. Kute nome munye lowasindza.
29 Kodvwa ema-Israyeli wona abewele emhlabatsini lowomile elwandle, futsi nemanti ajinge achubeka kuma tindvonga ngesekudla nangesancele.
30 Kungalelo langa-ke lapho Simakadze asindzisa ema-Israyeli esandleni semaGibhithe. Ema-Israyeli abona tidvumbu temaGibhithe elugwini lwelwandle.
31 Atsi ema-Israyeli nabona emandla lamakhulu Simakadze labewakhombise ngekubhubhisa emaGibhithe, acalela phansi kwesaba Simakadze nekubeka litsemba lawo kuye nakuMosi, inceku yakhe.
1 Mosi nema-Israyeli bahlabela kuSimakadze nansi ingoma, batsi: “Ngiyawuhlabela kuSimakadze, ngobe uphakanyiswe kakhulu, lihhashi nemgibeli walo ukujikijele elwandle.
2 Simakadze uyingoma yami, nemandla ami, yena sewuyinsindziso yami. Nguye longuNkulunkulu wami, ngiyawudvumisa yena. Yena unguNkulunkulu wabobabemkhulu, ngiyawudvumisa bukhulu bakhe.
3 Simakadze ngumnikati wemphi; nguSimakadze libito lakhe.
4 Tincola temphi taFaro nemabutfo akhe ukujikijele ekhatsi elwandle, tiphatsimandla takhe letikhetsiwe utiphonse eLwandle Lolubovu.
5 Emanti elwandle abasibekela, bacwila bashona phansi njengelitje.
6 “Sandla sakho sangesekudla, Simakadze, siphakeme ngemandla. Sandla sakho sangesekudla, Simakadze, sipitjite sitsa, sasibulala.
7 Ngekuphakama kwemandla akho ubacitsile labemelene nawe, intfukutselo yakho levutsako uyitfululele kubo, yabalumeka njengetibi.
8 Ngekufutsa kwemakhala akho emanti elwandle ancwabelana ndzawonye, yebo, ema aba tindvonga. Kujula kwelwandle kwacina njengemgcwaco.
9 “Sitsa satsi: ‘Ngitawubacosha ngize ngibakhandze. Ngitawutehlukanisela ngaloko lengikudle kubo, ngititike ngako; ngitawukhipha inkemba yami ngibabhubhise.’
10 Kodvwa wena, Simakadze, uphefumule kwaba kanye, lwandle lwabamita, bacwila sincane selitje naligcumukela emantini lanemandla.
11 “Ngubani lonjengawe, Simakadze, emkhatsini wabo bonkhe bonkulunkulu? Ngubani lofanana nawe ngebungcwele bakho lobumangalisako? Ngubani lonebukhosi lobesabekako ente imimangaliso nemisebenti yemandla njengawe?
12 Welule sandla sakho sangesekudla, umhlaba wabamita.
13 “Sive sakho losisindzisile uyawusihola ngemusa; yebo, uyawusicondzisa ngemandla akho, usimikise endzaweni yakho lengcwele.
14 Tive nativa loko, tiyawutfutfumela ngekwesaba, emaFilisti ayawufikelwa luvalo.
15 Tikhulu taka-Edomu tiyakwesaba, tichwaga takaMowabi titfutfumele, takhamiti taseKhenani tiphele emandla,
16 behlelwe kutfutfumela neluvalo. Ngenca yamandla emkhono wakho, bayawutfomeka, banganyakati nakancane; kuze kwendlule sive sakho, yebo, kuze kwendlule sive sakho, lowasitsenga ebugcilini, Simakadze.
17 Uyawubangenisa ubahlanyele entsabeni yakho, indzawo leyakhetfwa nguwe, Simakadze, kutsi ibe likhaya lakho, indzawo lengcwele, Simakadze, lowayakha ngetandla takho.
18 Simakadze uyawubusa phakadze naphakadze.”
19 Emahhashi aFaro, netincola takhe temphi kanye nebagibeli bakhe bemahhashi batseleka ekhatsi elwandle, Simakadze wase uyawayekela emanti, abuyela etikwabo abasibekela; kodvwa ema-Israyeli ewela lwandle, ahamba emhlabatsini lowomile.
20 Miriyamu, umphrofethikati, labengudzadzewabo-Aroni, watsatsa umntjingo wawudlala ahlabela, bonkhe labasikati baphuma bamlandzela nabo baphetse tingubhu, bagidza.
21 Miriyamu wabahlabelela watsi: “Hlabelani kuSimakadze, ngobe uphakanyiswe kakhulu, lihhashi nemgibeli walo ukujikijele elwandle.”
22 Kusuka lapho eLwandle Lolubovu, Mosi wahola ema-Israyeli balibangisa ehlane laseShuri. Kwaphela emalanga lamatsatfu basehlane bangawatfoli emanti.
23 Bahamba baze bafika endzaweni lekutsiwa yiMara, lapho bawakhandza khona emanti. Kodvwa behluleka kuwanatsa, ngobe abebaba. Ngiko nje lendzawo yabitwa ngekutsi yiMara.
24 Bantfu basola Mosi, bambuta batsi: “Sitawunatsani?”
25 Mosi wakhala kuSimakadze; Simakadze wamkhombisa sigojwana. Mosi wasitsatsa wasijika ekhatsi kulamanti; emanti ajika aba mnandzi. Basekuleyo ndzawo Simakadze wabanika umtsetfo nemsimeto wabo; wabavivinya khona lapho futsi.
26 Wakhuluma kubo watsi: “Naningilalela, nigcina livi lami, mine Nkulunkulu wenu, nente loko lokulungile, nigcine nemiyalo yami, ngingeke nginijezise ngaletifo lengatehlisela etikwemaGibhithe. Mine nginguSimakadze longumphilisi wenu.”
27 Bahamba baze befika e-Elimu, lapho kwakunemitfombo leli-12 netihlahla telisundvu letatingema-70; befika bemisa lapho edvute nemanti.
1 Sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli sesuka e-Elimu. Kwatsi ngelilanga leli-15 enyangeni yesibili siphumile eGibhithe, sefika ehlane laseSini, emkhatsini we-Elimu neSinayi.
2 Sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli sakhonona sisola boMosi na-Aroni ehlane.
3 Sakhuluma kubo satsi: “Sifisa shangatsi ngabe Simakadze wamane wasibulalela khona le eGibhithe, ngobe phela lapho besitihlalela phansi ngasemabhodweni, bese sidla inyama nekudla ngekutsandza kwetfu. Kodvwa nisiletse lapha ehlane kutewusibulala ngendlala sonkhe lesive.”
4 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Lalela la! Ngitanehlisela imvula yesinkhwa lesivela ezulwini. Onkhe emalanga ekuseni bantfu kufanele baphume bayewutibutsela kudla lokwanele lilanga lonkhe. Ngalendlela-ke ngitawube ngiyabavivinya kutsi batawuyilandzela yini imiyalo yami nome cha.
5 Ngelilanga lesitfupha babotilungiselela kubutsa kudla lokulingene emalanga lamabili.”
6 Ngako-ke boMosi na-Aroni bakhuluma kuma-Israyeli onkhe, batsi: “Lamuhla kusihlwa nitawukwati kahle kutsi nguSimakadze lowanikhipha eveni laseGibhithe.
7 Kusasa ekuseni nitawubona inkhatimulo yebukhona baSimakadze, ngobe ukuvile kukhonona kwenu ngaye. Tsine besiyini nje kutsi ningakhonona ngatsi?”
8 Mosi wachubeka watsi: “Simakadze utanipha inyama kusihlwa, ekuseni aniphe sinkhwa lesenele, ngobe sewukuvile kukhonona kwenu. Tsine siyini nje? Phela anikhononi ngatsi, kodvwa nikhonona ngaSimakadze.”
9 Mosi wakhuluma ku-Aroni, watsi: “Khuluma kubo bonkhe labantfu ubatjele utsi: ‘Sondzelani embikwaSimakadze, ngobe ukuvile kukhonona kwenu.’ ”
10 Watsi Aroni asakhuluma kubo, bagucuka babuka ngasehlane babona inkhatimulo yebukhosi baSimakadze ibonakala efini.
11 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi watsi:
12 “Ngikuvile kukhonona kwebantfu baka-Israyeli. Batjele utsi: ‘Kusihlwa nitawudla inyama, ekuseni nibe nenala yesinkhwa. Nitawukwati-ke kutsi mine nginguSimakadze longuNkulunkulu wenu.’ ”
13 Kusihlwa kwefika lifu letigwaca, lasibekela yonkhe inkambu; ekuseni kwalala ematolo yonkhe indzawo ngasenkambu.
14 Atsi kube ahamuke ematolo, kwasala emacebelengwane lamancane phansi lapho ehlane; kwakucolisakele kutintfwatfwasi letifanana nesitfwatfwa.
15 Atsi ema-Israyeli kube akubone loko, akhuluma abutana odvwana atsi: “Yini lena?” ngobe abengati kutsi kuyini. Mosi wabaphendvula, watsi: “Sinkhwa lenisiphiwe nguSimakadze kutsi nisidle.
16 Ngiko loko Simakadze lakhulume ngako, atsi: ‘Ngulowo nalowo akatibutsele loko lokungamenelisa, lekungemalitha langaba mabili umuntfu amunye, kulowo nakulowo mndeni.’ ”
17 Ema-Israyeli enta njalo; lamanye abutsa kwaba kunyentana, lamanye abutsa kwaba kuncane.
18 Batsi nase bakukala ngesikali lesingemalitha labengaba mabili, bakhandza kutsi lobekabutse kakhudlwana akasalelwanga lutfo, nalobekabutse kancane akazange eswele. Ngulowo nalowo bekabutse loko bekakudzinga.
19 Mosi wakhuluma kubo watsi: “Akubete loshiyela likusasa lokudla.”
20 Kodvwa abazange bamlalele Mosi; labanye lokudla bakushiyela likusasa. Kwatsi kusa, lokudla kwabe sekuphetfuka tibungu, kunuka bumunyu; Mosi wabatfukutselela.
21 Onkhe emalanga ekuseni lowo nalowo watibutsela loko abekudzinga kuphela. Lalitsi lingaphakama lilanga, bese kuyancibilika.
22 Ngelilanga lesitfupha babutsa kudla kwemalanga lamabili, emalitha labengaba mane umuntfu amunye. Bonkhe baholi bema-Israyeli beta kuMosi, bafike bamlandzisa ngalendzaba,
23 wase ukhuluma kubo utsi: “Simakadze uyale watsi: ‘Kusasa lilanga lekuphumula, liSabatha lelingcwele kuSimakadze. Yosani loko lenifuna kukosa, nipheke loko lenifuna kukupheka. Lokusele nikushiyele likusasa.’ ”
24 Ngako benta njengobe Mosi abebayalile ngekutsi lokunye bakubekele likusasa, akuzange kuphetfuke tibungu, akunukanga nebumunyu.
25 Mosi wakhuluma kubo watsi: “Kudleni lamuhla, ngobe lamuhla liSabatha kuSimakadze. Ningeke nikutfole etsafeni.
26 Kudla niyakukubutsa emalanga lasitfupha, kodvwa ngelilanga lesikhombisa, lekuliSabatha, kuyawubate.”
27 Ngelilanga lesikhombisa labanye bantfu baphuma bayawubutsa, kodvwa abazange batfole lutfo.
28 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Kuyawuze kube ngunini nala kugcina imiyalo nemitsetfo yami?
29 Bukani la! Mine Simakadze ngininike liSabatha, ngiko nje ngelilanga lesitfupha ngitaboninika kudla lokwanele emalanga lamabili. Ngulowo nalowo kufanele ahlale endlini kakhe angaphumi, ngalelilanga lesikhombisa.”
30 Ngako-ke bantfu baphumula ngelilanga lesikhombisa.
31 Ema-Israyeli lokudla akwetsa libito atsi “yimana.” Kwakufanana nenhlanyelo lencane lemhlophe, kunambitseka njengemicatsane leyentiwe ngeluju.
32 Mosi wakhuluma watsi: “Simakadze ukhulume watsi: ‘Nibolondvolota imana lengagcwala emalitha langaba mabili, niyilondvolotele titukulwane tenu, kuze tibone kudla lenganondla ngako ehlane, nanginikhipha eveni laseGibhithe.’ ”
33 Mosi wakhuluma ku-Aroni watsi: “Tsatsa lijeke, ufake emalitha langaba mabili emana, uyibeke embikwaSimakadze, kuze ilondvolotelwe titukulwane tetfu.”
34 Aroni wenta njengobe Mosi abeyalwe nguSimakadze. Wayibeka embikwelibhokisi lesivumelwane, khona itawulondvoloteka kahle.
35 Ema-Israyeli aphila ngekudla imana iminyaka lengema-40, adzimate efika eveni lelalakhelwe bantfu; adla imana adzimate efika emnyeleni welive laseKhenani.
36 Lesilinganiso lesasisemtsetfweni sasingemalitha labengaba ngema-20.
1 Sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli satfutsa ehlane laseSini sachubachubeka, kwaya ngekuyalwa kwaso nguSimakadze. Semisa eRefidimu, kodvwa kwakute emanti ekunatsa.
2 Ngako-ke sive sasola Mosi satsi: “Siphe emanti ekunatsa.” Mosi wabaphendvula watsi: “Ningilwiselani? Nimlingelani Simakadze?”
3 Kodvwa bantfu bomela emanti, bakhonona kuMosi batsi: “Yeyi wena! Wawusikhiphelani lena eGibhithe? Kantsi tsine nebantfwabetfu netifuyo tetfu wawusikhiphela kutsi utesibulala ngekoma la?”
4 Ngako-ke Mosi wakhala kuSimakadze watsi: “Ngitabatsini nje labantfu? Sebasezingeni lekutsi bangangigcoba ngematje nome ngangunini.”
5 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Tsatsa labanye bebaholi bema-Israyeli, uhambe nabo embikwebantfu. Ubophatsa indvuku yakho lowashaya ngayo umfula, iNayili.
6 Ngitakuma embikwakho edvwaleni leNtsaba iHorebe. Ubolishaya lelidvwala; emanti atawuphuma kulo, bese bantfu bayanatsa.” Mosi wenta njalo embikwebaholi bema-Israyeli.
7 Lendzawo wayetsa libito watsi “yiMasa neMeribha”, ngobe ema-Israyeli alwa, alinga Simakadze ngesikhatsi atsi: “Simakadze usenatsi yini nome cha?”
8 BaseseRefidimu, ema-Amaleki efika atewuhlasela ema-Israyeli.
9 Mosi wakhuluma kuJoshuwa watsi: “Sikhetsele emadvodza uhambe nawo uyekulwa nema-Amaleki. Mine ngitakwenyuka kusasa ngiye esicongweni seligcuma, ngiphetse indvuku Nkulunkulu langitjela kutsi ngiyiphatse.”
10 Joshuwa wavele wenta njengobe abetjelwe nguMosi, wahamba wayakulwa nema-Amaleki; Mosi wakhuphuka nabo-Aroni naHure, benyuka baya esicongweni seligcuma.
11 Abetsi Mosi nakaphakamise tandla takhe, ema-Israyeli ehlule ema-Amaleki, atsi nakatehlisa tandla takhe, ema-Amaleki ehlule ema-Israyeli.
12 Kodvwa yatsi imikhono yaMosi naseyidzinwa iba nensindze, bo-Aroni naHure bamletsela litje kutsi ahlale etikwalo, bona bamphakamisela imikhono yakhe lomunye ngakulomunye umkhono; ngako imikhono bayiphakamisa kwaze kwashona lilanga.
13 Joshuwa wancoba; wawashaya wawabhuca ngenkemba ema-Amaleki.
14 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Kubhale phansi encwadzini loku kube ngumlandvo ngalemphi, kuze kube sikhumbuto. Utjele Joshuwa kutsi ema-Amaleki ngifuna kuwacotfula aphele nya emhlabeni.”
15 Mosi wakha lilati waletsa libito watsi: “Lolu luphawu lwewungincobela kwaSimakadze.”
16 Mosi wachubeka watsi: “Ngobe tandla taphakanyiselwa kuSimakadze wasipha kuncoba. Simakadze uyawuchubeka nekulwa nema-Amaleki titukulwane ngetitukulwane.”
1 Jethro, uyisetala waMosi, labengumphristi wakaMidiyani, weva ngako konkhe Nkulunkulu labekwentele Mosi kanye nesive sakhe ema-Israyeli, kutsi Simakadze wabakhipha kanjani eGibhithe.
2 Weta kuMosi ahamba naSiphora, umkaMosi, labesambuyisele ekhaya kuyise
3 nemadvodzana akhe Mosi lamabili. Lenye Mosi wayetsa libito watsi nguGeshomu, atsi: “Ngisihambi eveni lengingalati.”
4 Lenye wayetsa libito watsi ngu-Eliyezeri atsi: “Nkulunkulu wabobabe ube lusito lwami wangiphephisa kutsi Faro angangibulali.”
5 Jethro weta nemkaMosi nemadvodzana akhe lamabili lapho Mosi abemise khona entsabeni yaNkulunkulu lesehlane.
6 Jethro abesalitfumele livi kuMosi kutsi uta nemkakhe nebantfwabakhe.
7 Ngako Mosi waphuma wayakumhlangabeta, wafike wamkhotsamela, wamanga. Babutana imphilo, base bangena ethendeni laMosi.
8 Mosi walandzisa uyisetala ngako konkhe Simakadze lakwenta kuFaro nemaGibhithe kuze akhulule sive sema-Israyeli. Wamlandzisa nangebumatima labahlangabetana nabo endleleni, nekutsi Simakadze wabasindzisa kanjani kubo.
9 Jethro wajabula kakhulu nasalandziswe ngako konkhe lokuhle ema-Israyeli labekwentelwe nguSimakadze, nekuwakhulula kwakhe esandleni semaGibhithe.
10 Watsi: “Akadvunyiswe Simakadze lonikhulule esandleni semaGibhithe naFaro, nalophephise sive sakhe ekugcilatweni ngemaGibhithe!
11 Nyalo-ke sengiyati kutsi Simakadze mkhulu kunabo bonkhe labanye bonkulunkulu, ngobe ema-Israyeli uwakhulule ekugcilatweni ngesihluku ngemaGibhithe.”
12 Jethro, uyisetala waMosi, waletsa umnikelo wekushiswa naleminye imihlatjelo yekunikelwa kuNkulunkulu. Aroni wahamba kanye nebaholi bema-Israyeli; bakhonta ngekudla kudla lokungcwele kanye naJethro, uyisetala waMosi, embikwaNkulunkulu.
13 Ngakusasa Mosi wahlala esihlalweni sekwehlulela bantfu, alamula lababecabene nalababenemibango. Bantfu babema tindvwendvwe kusukela ekuseni kuze kushone lilanga.
14 Watsi kube Jethro abone konkhe Mosi labekwentela bantfu, wakhuluma kuye watsi: “Yini lena lobentela yona labantfu? Utibulalelani ngekwenta lomsebenti wedvwana, nebantfu beme la kusukela ekuseni kuze kushone lilanga seloku bamele kusitwa nguwe.”
15 Mosi wamphendvula watsi: “Kufanele ngikwente loku, ngobe bantfu beta kimi batewufuna intsandvo yaNkulunkulu.
16 Nangabe kukhona labacabene ngako, bantfu beta kimi, bese-ke mine ngiyabalamula; ngibatjele imitsetfo nemiyalo yaNkulunkulu.”
17 Uyisetala waphendvula watsi: “Ayikalungi lendlela losebenta ngayo.
18 Wena nalabantfu nitibulala ngemsebenti; ngobe lomsebenti lowentako mkhulu kakhulu kunawe kutsi ungawenta wedvwana.
19 Tsatsa nali livi leseluleko sami, Nkulunkulu utawuba nawe. Kufanele wena ube lincusa lebantfu kuNkulunkulu, emacala abo uwaletse kuye.
20 Bafundzise imiyalo nemitsetfo yaNkulunkulu, ubachazele kutsi kufanele baphile njani batiphatse njani.
21 Ngetulu kwaloko khetsa emadvodza lafanele, naletsembekile, lesaba Nkulunkulu, nalengatsengeki, uwabeke abe baholi: betinkhulungwane, nebemakhulu, nebema-50, nebemashumi.
22 Akube ngawo lafanele kuba behluleli ngato tonkhe tikhatsi. Tindzaba nemacala lamatima bangawaletsa kuwe, kodvwa wona afanele atijubele emacala abo lamancane. Ngako ngalendlela utakwetfwala kamalula, lamadvodza etfwalisane nawe.
23 Nawenta loku, njengobe Nkulunkulu akuyala, ungeke wetfwale kamatima, nebantfu labete la batawubuyela ngekushesha emakhaya abo, emacala abo asakhulunyiwe nabo benelisekile.”
24 Mosi wawutsatsa njengobe unjalo lomyalo weyisetala.
25 Wakhetsa emadvodza lafanele emkhatsini wesive sonkhe sema-Israyeli. Wawabeka aba baholi betinkhulungwane, nebemakhulu, nebema-50, nebemashumi.
26 Behlulela tindzaba tebantfu ngato tonkhe tikhatsi: Emacala lamatima bawaletsa kuMosi, kodvwa lamancane ancunywe ngibo.
27 Mosi wavalelisa uyisetala; Jethro wahamba wabuyela eveni lakubo.
1 Ngelilanga lekucala lenyanga yesitsatfu seloku sive sema-Israyeli saphuma eGibhithe, sefika ehlane laseSinayi.
2 Satsi kube sisuke eRefidimu, sahamba saze sefika ehlane laseSinayi; ngulapho sefika semisa khona, sabukana nentsaba.
3 Mosi wakhuphuka waya kuNkulunkulu. Simakadze asetulu entsabeni wambita watsi: “Ubokhuluma esiveni saJakobe, ema-Israyeli, utsi:
4 ‘Nakubona kambe loko lengakwenta kumaGibhithe, nekutsi nganetfwala njani ngemaphiko elusweti nganiletsa kimi.
5 “ ‘Ngako-ke naniyawulilalela livi lami nigcine nesivumelwane sami, niyawuba ligugu lami emkhatsini wato tonkhe tive; ngobe wonkhe umhlaba wami.
6 Niyawuba ngumbuso webaphristi, nibe sive lesingcwele.’ Ngulawo-ke emavi lotawufike uwakhulume esiveni saka-Israyeli.”
7 Ngako Mosi wehla wafike wabita bonkhe baholi besive, onkhe lamavi nalemiyalo labeyitfole kuSimakadze wakwetfula kubo.
8 Sonkhe sive saphendvula ngalivi linye, satsi: “Konkhe lokushiwo nguSimakadze siyawukwenta.” Mosi wahamba wayawubikela Simakadze.
9 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Ngitakwehla ngibesefini lelimnyama, khona bantfu batewungiva nangikhuluma nawe, bese bayakwetsemba njalo.” Mosi wase ukutjela Simakadze konkhe lokwakukhulunywe bantfu.
10 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Buyela kubantfu ubatjele kutsi batihlambulule lamuhla nakusasa, bageze tingubo tabo;
11 ngemhlomunye babe sebalungele, ngobe ngalelo langa ngitakwehlela entsabeni iSinayi bonkhe bantfu babuka.
12 Kufanele ujube umnyele lotungeleta intsaba iSinayi, bantfu ubatjele utsi: ‘Caphelani ningenyuki kuya entsabeni, ningawutsintsi ngisho nemnyele wayo; lowo loyawutsintsa lentsaba uyawubulawa.
13 Lowo muntfu kufanele angatsintfwa ngesandla, kodvwa agcotjwe ngematje nome adutjulwe ngebutjoki. Loko niyawukwenta nome ngabe silwane nome ngumuntfu, nimbulale afe.’ Nakukhala licilongo likhala sikhatsi lesidze, bonkhe bantfu kufanele benyuke bete la entsabeni.”
14 Mosi wehla entsabeni waya kubantfu, wafike wabahlambulula, base bageza tingubo tabo.
15 Mosi wakhuluma kubantfu watsi: “Tilungiseleleni lilanga langemhlomunye, ningalali nalomsikati.”
16 Ekuseni ngelilanga lesitsatfu kwaba nekudvuma nemibane, lifu lelimnyama labonakala etikwentsaba, kwase kuvakala licilongo lelakhala kakhulukati. Bonkhe bantfu lapha enkambu betfuka batfutfumela ngenca yekwesaba.
17 Mosi wabahola bantfu waphumela nabo ngaphandle kwenkambu kuyawuhlangabeta Nkulunkulu; bafike bema ngaphansi kwalentsaba.
18 Yonkhe leNtsaba iSinayi yasibekelwa lifu, ngobe Simakadze abesehlele etikwayo ngemlilo. Intfutfu yenyuka njengentfutfu yembutfuma yemlilo; yonkhe intsaba yatamatama.
19 Kukhala kwelicilongo kwaya ngekuya kwandza. Mosi wakhuluma, Nkulunkulu wamphendvula ngelivi.
20 Simakadze wehlela esicongweni seNtsaba iSinayi, wabita Mosi kutsi akenyuke ete kuye; nembala Mosi wenyuka.
21 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Yewuka uyekwecwayisa labantfu kutsi bangawengci umnyele kutewubuka mine Simakadze; ngobe nabangenta njalo, linyenti labo litakufa.
22 Ngisho nebaphristi labatakuta basondzele la kimi kufanele batihlambulule kucala, ngaphandle kwaloko ngitawubajezisa.”
23 Mosi wakhuluma kuSimakadze, watsi: “Bantfu bangeke bakhone kwenyuka bete lapha eNtsabeni iSinayi, ngobe wena usiyalile watsi: ‘Jubani umnyele utungelete lentsaba; niyingcwelise.’ ”
24 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Yewuka ulandze Aroni, ukhuphuke naye ete la; kodvwa ucaphele baphristi nebantfu bangawengci lomnyele kuta kimi, mine Simakadze, ngobe nabawengca, ngitabajezisa.”
25 Ngako Mosi wehla waya kubantfu, wafike wabatjela konkhe labekutjelwe nguSimakadze.
1 Nkulunkulu wakhuluma nankha emavi, watsi:
2 “NginguSimakadze Nkulunkulu wenu lowanikhipha eGibhithe, eveni lebugcili.
3 “Ungabi nalomunye nkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.
4 “Ungatenteli sithico, nome umfanekiso walokusezulwini etulu, nome walokusemhlabeni phansi nome walokusemantini ngaphansi kwemhlaba.
5 Ungasikhotsameli nome usikhonte, ngobe mine Simakadze, Nkulunkulu wakho, nginguNkulunkulu lonesikhwele. Labo labangitondzako sijeziso sami ngesono saboyise ngisehlisela ngisho nakubantfwana babo besitukulwane sesitsatfu nesesine.
6 Kodvwa labangitsandzako nalabagcina imiyalo yami ngibehlisela umusa wami longapheli etinkhulungwaneni tetitukulwane netitukulwane tabo.
7 “Ungaliphatsi ngelite libito laSimakadze Nkulunkulu wakho; ngobe Simakadze uyawumbeka licala lowo lophatsa libito lakhe ngelite.
8 “Khumbula liSabatha, uligcine libe ngcwele.
9 Umsebenti wakho uyakuwenta emalanga lasitfupha,
10 kodvwa lilanga lesikhombisa liSabatha kuSimakadze Nkulunkulu wakho. Ngalelo langa kufanele ungasebenti wena, nendvodzana yakho, nendvodzakati yakho, nesisebenti sakho lesidvuna, nome lesisikati, ngisho netinkhomo takho, nesihambi lesingenise kakho.
11 Ngemalanga lasitfupha Simakadze wadala lizulu nemhlaba, nelwandle nako konkhe lokukuko, waphumula ngelilanga lesikhombisa. Ngako-ke Simakadze walibusisa walingcwelisa lelilanga leliSabatha.
12 “Hlonipha uyihlo nenyoko, khona tinsuku takho titakwandza kulelive lengikunika lona.
13 “Ungabulali.
14 “Ungaphingi.
15 “Ungebi.
16 “Ungafakazi emanga ngamakhelwane wakho.
17 “Ungayihawukeli indlu yamakhelwane wakho. “Ungamhawukeli nemkakhe, nesisebenti sakhe lesidvuna nome lesisikati, netinkhomo takhe, netimbongolo takhe, nome yini lanayo.”
18 Batsi bantfu nabakuva lokudvuma nekukhala kwelicilongo babona nemibane nentfutfu yembese intsaba, bonkhe bantfu betfuka batfutfumela ngenca yekwesaba, bema bucalu.
19 Bakhuluma kuMosi batsi: “Khuluma wena kitsi, sitakuva; siyesaba kutsi nakungakhuluma Nkulunkulu kitsi, sitakufa.”
20 Mosi wakhuluma kubantfu watsi: “Ningesabi; Nkulunkulu utele kutewunivivinya, khona nitewuhlala nimesaba, kuze ningoni.”
21 Kodvwa bantfu bajinge bema bucalu ngesikhatsi Mosi asondzela efini lelimnyama, lapho kwakunaNkulunkulu khona.
22 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Tjela ema-Israyeli kutsi ngitsi: ‘Nani ngekwenu nitibonele kutsi ngikhulume kini ngisezulwini.
23 Ningatenteli tithico tesiliva nome tegolide ningibhice nato, bese nikhonta tona njengobe nikhonta mine.
24 Ngenteleni lilati ngemhlaba, etikwalo ninikele umnikelo wekushiswa nemnikelo wekuthula, ngetimvu nangetinkhomo. Yonkhe indzawo lapho ngiyawukwenta kutsi libito lami lidvunyiswe khona, ngiyawuta kini nginibusise.
25 Nanilenta ngematje lilati, ningalakhi ngematje lacotiwe; ngobe naniwacota lamatje, nitawube niyayingcolisa lenkonzo yami.
26 Ningalakhi lilati lelinetitebhisi letenyukela kulo; ngobe nanenta njalo, nitawube nembula bungcunu benu kulo.’ ”
1 “Ema-Israyeli wanike nansi imiyalo lelandzelako:
2 Nawutsenga sigcili lesingumHebheru, siyakukusebentela iminyaka lesitfupha. Ngemnyaka wesikhombisa uyawusikhulula, ngaphandle kwenkhokhelo.
3 Nangabe seta singenamfati, kufanele sihambe singenamfati; nangabe seta sesinemfati, kufanele sihambe nemkaso.
4 Nangabe umtsengi waso asinike umfati, sabe sesitala emadvodzana nemadvodzakati, lomfati nebantfwana akusibo baso, bemtsengi waso. Sona sifanele sihambe sodvwana.
5 Kodvwa nangabe lesigcili sikhuluma ngewaso umlomo sitsi: ‘Ngiyamtsandza umtsengi wami, nemkami, nebantfwabami, angifuni kukhululeka,’
6 ngako umtsengi waso kufanele asitsatse asimikise kuNkulunkulu endzaweni yekukhonta. Utawumenta eme eceleni kwemnyango nome kwensika yemnyango, abhobose indlebe yaso ngelusungulo. Sesiyawumsebentela simkhonte imphilo yaso yonkhe.
7 “Nangabe indvodza itsengisa indvodzakati yayo kutsi ibe sigcili, akukafaneli sikhululwe njengetigcili letidvuna.
8 Nangabe lendvodzakati itsengiswe endvodzeni lefuna kuyenta umkayo kodvwa lendvodza ingeneliswa ngiyo, lendvodza kufanele ivume kutsi ihlengwe lendvodzakati. Lendvodza ayinalo lilungelo lekuyitsengisa kumuntfu wetive, ngobe ayiketsembeki kulendvodzakati.
9 Nangabe lendvodza ikhetsa lesigcilikati isikhetsela indvodzana yaso, kufanele loyise asitsatse njengendvodzakati yakhe.
10 Nangabe indvodza itsatsa lomunye umfati, kufanele ingasehlisi sabelo salomfati wekucala macondzana nekudla nekwekwembatsa kanye nemalungelo akhe ebufati.
11 Nangabe lendvodza ayitifezi letimfanelo letintsatfu kulomfati, akakhululeke ahambe ngaphandle kwekutsengwa.”
12 “Umuntfu loshaya lomunye umuntfu ambulale, naye kufanele abulawe.
13 Kodvwa nangabe abengakacondzi kumbulala ngekumlalela endleleni, kodvwa kube nguNkulunkulu lomyekelele wawela esandleni sakhe, angabaleka ayewubhaca endzaweni lengitayikhetsa kutsi kube yindzawo yekukhosela.
14 Kodvwa nangabe umuntfu ahlasele lomunye umuntfu wambulala ngemabomu, nome asabaleke wayawukhosela elatini lami, nibomsusa kulo nimbulale.
15 “Loshaya uyise nome unina kufanele abulawe.
16 “Lotfumba lomunye umuntfu entele kumtsengisa nome kumenta sigcili kufanele abulawe.
17 “Localekisa uyise nome unina kufanele abulawe.
18 “Nangabe emadvodza atsite ayalwa, bese lenye ishaya lenye ngelitje nome ngesibhakela, kodvwa ingete yafa, ilimale nje ilale phansi,
19 kodvwa emvakwaloko isukume ihambe ngekudvondvolotela ngendvuku, lena lemshayile ingeke ibe nelicala. Intfo nje, kufanele ikhiphe inkhokhelo yesikhatsi sayo, iyinakekele ize iphile.
20 “Nangabe indvodza ishaye sigcili nome sigcilikati sayo ngendvuku safa khona lapho, kufanele ihlawuliswe;
21 kodvwa nangabe lesigcili selulame ngelilanga linye nome mabili, akukafaneli ijeziswe, ngobe phela lesigcili siyimphahla yayo lendvodza.
22 “Nangabe emadvodza atsite ayalwa alimata umfati lotetfwele, wadzimate wonakalelwa sisu, kodvwa yena wangete walimala ndzawo, lona lomlimatile kufanele ahlawuliswe. Inhlawulo itakuya ngekutsi indvodza yalomfati ijubeni; kuye ngekutsi behluleli bona bayayemukela yini leyo nhlawulo.
23 Kodvwa nangabe lomfati ulimele, kufanele kwenanwe kuphila ngekuphila,

26 “Nangabe umuntfu ashaye liso lesigcili nome lesigcilikati sakhe laze lalimala langabe lisabona, kufanele asikhulule sihambe, ngenca yaleliso.
27 Nangabe usishaye wasikhipha litinyo lesigcili nome lesigcilikati, kufanele asikhulule kube yinkhokhelo yaso yalelitinyo.”

23 “Tsatsa tinongo leticolisakele, emakhilogremu langaba sitfupha emure lemanti, nemakhilogremu langaba matsatfu esinamoni lenuka kamnandzi, nemakhilogremu langaba matsatfu ekalamu,
24 nemakhilogremu langaba sitfupha ekhasiya; konkhe kukalwe ngesikalo lesisemtsetfweni. Ubengeta emalitha langaba mane emafutsa emncumo,
25 bese wakha ngato emafutsa langcwele emgcobo, lahlanganiswe aba ngemakha, uwente njengengcweti yalomsebenti.
26 Ubowasebentisa ekugcobiseni ngawo lelithende lekuhlangana, nelibhokisi lesivumelwane,
27 nelitafula, netimphahla letihambisana nalelitafula, nelutsi lwetibane, netimphahla letihambisana nalolutsi lwetibane, nelilati lekushisa imphepho,
28 nelilati lekushisa iminikelo, netimphahla letihambisana nalelilati, nemgezelo kanye nesibunu sawo.
29 Tonkhe letimphahla ubotinikela, khona titewuba ngcwele ngalokuphelele; loko lokutitsintsako kutawulinyatwa bungcwele bato.
30 Ubogcoba bo-Aroni nemadvodzana akhe babe ngcwele, khona batewungikhonta njengebaphristi bami.
31 Ubokhuluma kuma-Israyeli utsi: ‘Lamafutsa ami langcwele emgcobo niyakuwasebentisa kuto tonkhe titukulwane tenu.
32 Akukafaneli atselwe emitimbeni yebantfu nje, futsi kufanele ningawakhi lamanye ngaletilinganiso talawa; angcwele, futsi nibowatsatsa ngekutsi vele angcwele.
33 Nangabe kungaba khona lowakha lafana nawo nome awasebentise kulomunye longesiye umphristi, uyawuncunywa esiveni sakubo.’ ”
34 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi atsi: “Tsatsa sikalo lesilinganako kuto tonkhe letinongo letimnandzi: sitakathi, ne-onkha, negalibhanume, nemakha lacengekile.
35 Tihlanganise ndzawonye njengengcweti yalomsebenti, utente tibe yimphepho yemakha lanongwe ngeluswayi, khona itawuba ngulehlantekile nalengcwele.
36 Lenye yayo uboyisila icolisakale, bese uyifaka ethendeni lekuhlangana uyifafate embikwelibhokisi lesivumelwane, lapho ngihlangana khona nawe. Lemphepho uboyiphatsa uyente ibe ngcwele.
37 Ningacali nente imphepho ngayo lendlela nangaletilinganiso; kini itawuba ngcwele, inikelwe kuSimakadze.
38 Lowo lowenta emakha lafanana nawo uyawuncunywa esiveni sakubo.”
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi:
2 “Bheka, ngitikhetsele Besaleli, umsa wa-Uri, lotalwa nguHure, wesive sakaJuda;
3 ngamgcwalisa ngaMoya waNkulunkulu. Ngimuphe likhono nekuhlakanipha, nelwati emisebentini yonkhe yebungcweti:
4 kutsi akwati kwenta tinhlobonhlobo temihlobiso ngegolide, nesiliva, nelitfusi,
5 nekucopha nekufaka ematje laligugu, nekubata lugodvo, nekwenta nome ngabe ngumuphi umsebenti webungcweti.
6 Ngetulu kwaloko ngikhetse na-Oholiyabi, umsa wa-Ahisamaki, wesive sakaDani, kutsi asebente naye. Bonkhe laba labanelikhono nabo ngibengetele, khona batewukwati kwenta loku lengikuyale ngako:
7 lithende lekuhlangana, nelibhokisi lesivumelwane, nesihlalo semusa, netimphahla tonkhe telithende,
8 nelitafula, netimphahla letihambisana nalo, nelutsi lwetibane lolwentiwe ngegolide lecengekile, netimphahla letihambisana nalo, nelilati lemphepho,
9 nelilati lemnikelo wekushiswa kanye netimphahla letihambisana nalo, nemgezelo, nesibunu sawo,
10 netembatfo letihlotjiswe kahle ta-Aroni, umphristi, kanye netemadvodzana akhe tekutsi batembatse nabenta inkonzo yabo yebuphristi,
11 nemafutsa emgcobo, nemphepho lenuka kamnandzi yendzawo lengcwele. Konkhe loku bafanele bakwente njengobe ngikuyalile.”
12 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi:
13 “Khuluma kuma-Israyeli utsi ngitsi: ‘Gcinani emaSabatha ami, loku kuyawuba luphawu emkhatsini wenu nami titukulwane ngetitukulwane, kuze nati kutsi nginguNkulunkulu wenu loningcwelisako.
14 Kufanele nigcine liSabatha ngobe lingcwele kini; wonkhe umuntfu longaligcini kufanele abulawe. Lowo losebenta ngalelo langa kufanele ancunywe kubantfu bami.
15 Niyawusebenta emalanga lasitfupha, kodvwa lilanga lesikhombisa liSabatha lekuphumula, lingcwele kuSimakadze; wonkhe umuntfu losebentako ngalo kufanele abulawe.
16 Ngako-ke ema-Israyeli leliSabatha kufanele aligcine titukulwane ngetitukulwane kube sivumelwane saphakadze naphakadze.
17 Liluphawu lwaphakadze naphakadze emkhatsini wema-Israyeli nami, kutsi ngemalanga lasitfupha Simakadze wadala lizulu nemhlaba, kwatsi ngelilanga lesikhombisa waphumula emsebentini wakhe.’ ”
18 Watsi kube Nkulunkulu acedze kukhuluma naMosi eNtsabeni yaseSinayi, wase umnika letibhelekeca letimbili tematje temiyalo, lapho umuno wakhe Nkulunkulu wawubhale khona imiyalo nemitsetfo.
1 Batsi kube bantfu babone kutsi Mosi sewutsetse sikhatsi lesidze angasehli entsabeni, babutsana ndzawonye beta ku-Aroni bakhuluma kuye batsi: “Kota, usentele nkulunkulu lotawuhamba embikwetfu, ngobe phela asati kutsi sekwente njani kulendvodza lenguMosi leyasikhipha eveni laseGibhithe.”
2 Aroni wakhuluma kubo watsi: “Khumulani lamacici egolide lasetindlebeni tebafati benu, netemadvodzana enu, netemadvodzakati enu, niwaletse lapha kimi.”
3 Ngako bonkhe bantfu bakhipha emacici abo etindlebeni tabo, bawaletsa ku-Aroni.
4 Wawatsatsa wawancibilikisa, wase ubumba litfole lelidvuna legolide. Bantfu bamemeta batsi: “Israyeli! Nangu-ke nkulunkulu wakho lowakukhipha eveni laseGibhithe!”
5 Watsi kube Aroni akubone loku, wase wakha lilati embikwalelitfole, wamemetela watsi: “Kusasa kutawuba nesibhimbi sekudvumisa Simakadze.”
6 Ngakusasa bavuka ekuseni ngeluvivi baletsa iminikelo yekushiswa kanye neminikelo yekuthula. Bantfu bahlala phansi, badla, banatsa, basukuma badlala.
7 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Ncandzeka wewuke, ngobe labantfu bakho lowabakhipha eveni laseGibhithe sebonakele.
8 Sebaphambuke ngekushesha kuloko lengabayala ngako; sebancibilikise igolide benta litfole lelidvuna. Balikhotsamela balikhonta, badzimate batsi: ‘Israyeli! Nangu-ke nkulunkulu wakho lowakukhipha eveni laseGibhithe.’ ”
9 Simakadze wachubeka wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Sengibabonile labantfu kutsi basive lesinentsamo lelukhuni.
10 Ngako-ke ase ungiyekele kutsi lulaka lwami lutewubahashula lubabhubhise. Wena-ke ngitakwenta ube sive lesikhulu.”
11 Kodvwa Mosi wancenga Simakadze longuNkulunkulu wakhe watsi: “Hhawu Simakadze, lulaka lwakho lusivutselelani lesive sakho lowasikhipha eveni laseGibhithe ngesandla sakho lesinemandla lamakhulu?
12 Pho, kudzingeke ngani kutsi emaGibhithe abe asatsi: ‘Wabakhipha ngebucili eGibhithe wabe sewubabulala ngekubacitsa ebusweni bemhlaba baphelela etintsabeni bonkhe’? Mane uluyekele lulaka lwakho loluvutsako, ucole, ungasehliseli imbhubhiso lesive sakho.
13 Khumbula Abrahama, na-Isaka, na-Israyeli, tinceku takho, lowafunga kuto ngelibito lakho watetsembisa, watsi: ‘Ngiyawunandzisa, titukulwane tenu tibe ngangetinkhanyeti tesibhakabhaka. Lelive lenginitsembisa lona ngiyawulipha titukulwane tenu, liyawuba ngelabo phakadze naphakadze.’ ”
14 Ngako Simakadze wagucula umcondvo wakhe, wangabe asababhubhisa bantfu bakhe.
15 Mosi wancandzeka, wehla entsabeni, etfwele tibhelekeca tematje letimbili letatibhalwe imiyalo ndzawo totimbili ngemuva nangembili.
16 Letibhelekeca tematje tatibatwe nguNkulunkulu, tabhalwa nguye ngekuticopha ngesandla sakhe.
17 Joshuwa watsi kube eve bantfu bamemeta, wakhuluma kuMosi watsi: “Kunemsindvo wemphi enkambu.”
18 Mosi waphendvula watsi: “Loko akufanani nemsindvo wekuncoba nome kukhala kwekwehlulwa, kodvwa ngiva kungumsindvo wekuhlabela.”
19 Watsi kube Mosi asondzele enkambu, abone lelitfole nebantfu bagidza, watfukutsela wabilelana. Letibhelekeca labetetfwele watilahla phansi, tephukela khona lapho phansi kwentsaba.
20 Watsatsa lelitfole lelase lakhiwe, walishisa ngemlilo, waligaya, lacolisakala laba yimphuphu, walibhuca ngemanti, watsi onkhe ema-Israyeli akalinatse.
21 Wakhuluma ku-Aroni watsi: “Labantfu benteni kuwe, uze ubaholele kulesono lesikhulu kangaka?”
22 Aroni waphendvula watsi: “Ungangitfukutseleli, nkhosi yami, nawe uyati kutsi labantfu babutsambele kanjani bubi.
23 Ngobe bakhulume kimi batsi: ‘Sentele nkulunkulu, lotawuhamba embikwetfu; ngobe asati kutsi sekwente njani kulendvodza lenguMosi leyasikhipha eGibhithe.’
24 Mine ngatsi kubo: ‘Wonkhe lonegolide akayiletse lapha kimi.’ Ngako banginika igolide, ngayifaka emlilweni, kwase kuphuma nali litfole lelidvuna.”
25 Mosi wabona kutsi bantfu sebangumhlambi kazelusile, ngobe Aroni abesabayekelele batentela matsandza, batihlazisa ngisho nasembikwetitsa tabo.
26 Mosi wema esangweni lenkambu wamemeta watsi: “Lowo longakuSimakadze akete lapha kimi.” Onkhe emadvodzana aLevi abutsana ndzawonye eta kuye.
27 Wakhuluma kuwo watsi: “Simakadze longuNkulunkulu wa-Israyeli utsi: ‘Ngulowo nalowo emkhatsini wenu akatsatse inkemba yakhe, angene ngalelisango adzimate ayewuphuma ngale, ahambe abulala bomnakabo, nebangani bakhe, nabomakhelwane bakhe.’ ”
28 EmaLevi enta njengekusho kwaMosi, abulala emadvodza labengaba ti-3 000 ngalelo langa.
29 Mosi wakhuluma kumaLevi watsi: “Lamuhla senitehlukanisele Simakadze ngentsengo yekubulala lowo nalowo indvodzana yakhe nemnakabo. Ngako-ke lamuhla sewunibusisile.”
30 Ngakusasa Mosi wakhuluma kubantfu, watsi: “Nente sono lesikhulu lesesabekako. Kodvwa sengitakwenyuka ngiye kuSimakadze entsabeni; mhlawumbe nginganentela inhlawulo yekubuyisana kuSimakadze ngalokona kwenu.”
31 Ngako Mosi wancandzeka wabuyela kuSimakadze, wafike watsi: “Labantfu sebatentele sono lesikhulu lesesabekako. Sebente nkulunkulu ngegolide base bayamkhonta.
32 Kodvwa ngiyakucela umane ubatsetselele; nangabe awubatsetseleli, kuncono nami wesule libito lami encwadzini yakho loyibhalile.”
33 Simakadze wamphendvula watsi: “Ngulowo lowonile kimi lengiyakwesula libito lakhe encwadzini yami.
34 Hamba-ke uyewuhola labantfu ubayise kulendzawo lengikhulume ngayo kuwe, ingilosi yami itawuhamba embikwakho. Kodvwa siyeta sikhatsi lapho ngitawubajezisa ngenca yekona kwabo.”
35 Ngako Simakadze watfumela sifo kubantfu, ngobe babecindzetele Aroni kutsi ababumbele litfole legolide.
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Tfutsa kulendzawo wena nebantfu lobakhiphe eveni laseGibhithe, niye eveni lengafunga ngetsembisa kulinika Abrahama, na-Isaka, na-Jakobe, ngatsi: ‘Lelive ngiyawulipha titukulwane tenu.’
2 Ngitawutfumela ingilosi yami ihambe embikwenu ngikhiphe emaKhenani, nema-Amori, nemaHethi, nemaPheresi, nemaHivi, nemaJebhusi.
3 Hambani niye kulelive leligcwele lubisi neluju lwetinyosi; kodvwa mine ngingeke ngihambe nani ngenca yebulukhuni benhloko yenu; ngingahle nginibhubhise nonkhana endleleni.”
4 Batsi kube bantfu beve onkhe lamavi labuhlungu, bakhala bonkhe, bayikhumula imihlobiso yabo.
5 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Khuluma kulama-Israyeli utsi ngitsi: ‘Nine nibantfu labanenhlitiyo lelukhuni; nangingake ngihambe nani umzuzu ube munye nje, nginganibhubhisa niphele nya. Khumulani lemihlobiso yenu, khona ngitanitjela kutsi ngitakwentani ngani!’ ”
6 Ngako batsi kube batfutse eNtsabeni iSinayi abaphindzanga bayegabe imihlobiso futsi.
7 Mosi abevame kumisa lithende ngephandle kwenkambu, abelibita ngekutsi lithende lekuhlangana. Ngulowo nalowo labefuna kubuta intsandvo yaSimakadze abevele aphumele ngaphandle kwenkambu ethendeni lekuhlangana.
8 Abetsi Mosi nakaya kulo, bonkhe bantfu bavuke, beme eminyango yemathende abo bambuke aze ayewungena kulo.
9 Abetsi Mosi angangena kulo, bese kwehla insika yelifu, ifike ime ekungeneni kwalelithende lekuhlangana, bese-ke Simakadze ukhuluma naMosi.
10 Bonkhe bantfu babetsi bangayibona lensika yelifu ime ekungeneni kwelithende lekuhlangana bakhotsame, bakhonte, ngulowo nalowo emnyango welithende lakhe.
11 Simakadze abekhuluma naMosi buso nebuso, njengemuntfu akhuluma nemngani wakhe. Mosi nasabuyele enkambu, lelibhungu lelalingumsiti wakhe, lelalinguJoshuwa, umsa waNuni, lalisala lingesuki kulelithende lekuhlangana.
12 Mosi wakhuluma kuSimakadze, watsi: “Wena watsi kimi: ‘Khipha labantfu,’ kodvwa awuzange ungilayele kutsi utangitfuma nabani. Yebo, washo kona kimi watsi: ‘Ngiyalati libito lakho, futsi uzuze umusa emehlweni ami.’
13 Ngako-ke, nangabe ngizuze umusa emehlweni akho, ngiyakucela kutsi ungikhombise tindlela takho, kuze wena ngikwati kahle, ngichubeke kuzuza umusa emehlweni akho. Ukhumbule futsi kutsi labantfu basive sakho.”
14 Simakadze wamphendvula watsi: “Ngiyawuhamba nawe, ngikuphe kuphumula.”
15 Mosi waphendvula watsi: “Nangabe ungeke uhambe natsi, ungacali usitfutse lapha.
16 Nawungahambi natsi, kutawubonakala kanjani kutsi ngizuze umusa emehlweni akho, mine nalesive sakho? Kuhamba kwakho nami nalesive sakho ngiko lokufanele kusente sehluke emkhatsini wetive tonkhe temhlaba.”
17 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Ngitakwenta loku lokushito, ngobe uzuze umusa emehlweni ami, futsi ngikwati kahle.”
18 Mosi wakhuluma watsi: “Ngicela ungikhombise inkhatimulo yebukhosi bakho.”
19 Simakadze waphendvula watsi: “Ngitakwenta kutsi inkhatimulo yebuhle bami bendlule embikwakho ngimemetele libito lami, Simakadze. Ngimentela umusa lowo lengimentela umusa, ngimhawukele lowo lengimhawukelako.
20 Kodvwa ungeke ububone buso bami, ngobe kute umuntfu longabona buso bami abuye aphile.
21 Buka la: kunendzawo lapha ngakimi, lapho utakuma khona, etikwalelidvwala.
22 Nakwendlula inkhatimulo yami, ngitakufaka lapha emkhocweni walelidvwala, ngikumbonye ngesandla sami ngesikhatsi ngendlula.
23 Ngitabe sengiyasisusa lesandla sami, ungibone lingemuva, kodvwa buso bami ungeke ububone.”
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Bata tibhelekeca letimbili tematje letifanana naleta takucala. Ngitawubhala kuto wona lawo mavi labesetibhelekeceni tekucala lowatiphihlita.
2 Tilungiselele likusasa ekuseni, wenyuke ute lapha eNtsabeni iSinayi, utewutetfula lapha kimi esicongweni sentsaba.
3 Ungeti namuntfu, futsi kubete umuntfu lobonakala kulentsaba yonkhe. Timvu, netimbuti, netinkhomo tingeluselwa phansi kwayo lentsaba.”
4 Ngako-ke Mosi watibata letibhelekeca letimbili tematje, tafanana netekucala; wavuka lokwa ngeluvivi ngakusasa wenyuka iNtsaba iSinayi aphetse leto tibhelekeca letimbili ngetandla takhe, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
5 Simakadze wehla ngelifu wema naye khona lapho, wamemeta libito laSimakadze.
6 Simakadze wendlula embikwakhe wamemeta watsi: “Simakadze, Simakadze, Nkulunkulu lonesihawu nemusa; uyephuta kutfukutsela andze ngemusa nangekwetsembeka,
7 ubentela umusa labatinkhulungwane, atsetselele emaphutsa, nalokubi, netono. Kodvwa ngingeke ngihlale ngingamjezisi lonelicala; ngijezisa bantfwana nebatukulu ngetono tebatali babo, kuze kufikele esitukulwaneni sesitsatfu nesesine.”
8 Mosi washeshisa wakhotsamisa inhloko yakhe akhonta.
9 Wakhuluma watsi: “Simakadze, nangabe ngizuze umusa emehlweni akho, ngicela kutsi uhambe natsi, nome sisive lesinenhloko lelukhuni. Tsetselela kona netono tetfu, usente sibe lifa lakho.”
10 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Ngenta sivumelwane-ke manje. Ngitakwenta imimangaliso embikwaso sonkhe sive sakho, lengazange seyentiwe emhlabeni nome ngukusiphi sive. Tonkhe tive lohlala emkhatsini wato tiyawubona tintfo letinkhulu letitakwentiwa ngimi, mine Simakadze, ngobe ngitanentela tintfo letesabekako emehlweni ato.
11 Lalelani lemiyalo lengininika yona lamuhla. Ngitatidvungulula ngitikhiphe kulelive tonkhe letive: ema-Amori, nemaKhenani, nemaHethi, nemaPheresi, nemaHivi, nemaJebhusi.
12 Nicaphele ningenti sivumelwane nebantfu labakulelive leniya kulo, ngobe loko kungahle kube lugibe kini.
13 Emalati abo nibowabhidlita, nephule tinsika tawo tematje, nibhidlite konkhe kwalo-Ashera longunkulunkulukati wabo.
14 “Ningamkhonti lomunye nkulunkulu, ngobe loSimakadze lobitwa ngekutsi nguSikhwele unguNkulunkulu lonesikhwele.
15 Ningenti ngisho nesivumelwane nalabantfu balelo live, ngobe nabagwadla ngekukhonta letithico tabo, banikele umhlatjelo kuto, batanimema bese nidla leminikelo yemihlatjelo yabo.
16 Emadvodzana enu ningawatsatseli bafati emadvodzakatini abo, ngobe uma labantfu sebaphinga nome bagwadla ngekukhonta letithico tabo, nalamadvodzana enu atawudvonseleka kuloko.
17 “Ningatenteli bonkulunkulu lababatwe ngensimbi.
18 “Ubowugcina uwugubhe uMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesingenambiliso. Uyakudla sinkhwa lesite imbiliso emalanga lasikhombisa njengobe ngakuyala. Ubokwenta kusukela kulelo langa lelimisiwe ngenyanga ya-Abibi, lenaphuma ngayo eveni laseGibhithe.
19 “Onkhe ematubulo labafana ngewami, ngisho ematubulo lamadvuna etifuyo: tinkhomo, netimvu kwami.
20 Litubulo lelidvuna lembongolo uyawulihlenga ngekunikela lizinyane lemvu esikhundleni salo; nangabe awulihlengi, ubolephula intsamo. Onkhe emadvodzana langematubulo uyakuwahlenga. “Kufanele kubete lovela embikwami angakaphatsi lutfo etandleni.
21 “Uyawusebenta emalanga lasitfupha, kodvwa ngelilanga lesikhombisa uyawuphumula, ngisho nangesikhatsi sekulima nesekuvuna.
22 “Ubowugubha uMkhosi Wekuvuna Kolo, lokunguMkhosi Wemaviki. Ubowugubha neMkhosi Wekubutsa ekupheleni kwemnyaka.
23 “Katsatfu ngemnyaka bonkhe labadvuna bakho bayawutibonakalisa eNkhosini lenguSimakadze, Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli.
24 Ngobe ngiyawucitsa tive embikwakho ngandzise neminyele yakho; kute loyawuhawukela live lakho, ngetikhatsi tekwenyuka kwakho katsatfu ngemnyaka nawuyekutibonakalisa kuSimakadze, longuNkulunkulu wakho.
25 “Unganikeli kimi ngengati yemhlatjelo nangemnikelo nome wani lonembiliso. Kubete inyama yemhlatjelo weliPhasika leyawusala ibe libhadlela.
26 “Tilinga letinhle kakhulu temasimi akho tekwendvulelisa ubotiletsa endlini yaSimakadze longuNkulunkulu wakho. “Ungalipheki lizinyane lembuti nome lemvu elubisini lwenina.”
27 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi: “Wabhale lamavi, ngobe lesivumelwane lesengisente nawe nema-Israyeli sisime kulamavi.”
28 Mosi wahlala naSimakadze emalanga langema-40 nebusuku bawo; abengadli anganatsi. Wawabhala kuletibhelekeca tematje emavi alesivumelwane, laba ngimiyalo lelishumi.
29 Ngesikhatsi Mosi ehla eNtsabeni iSinayi abephetse letibhelekeca letimbili tematje tinemiyalo lelishumi; abengati kutsi sikhumba sebuso bakhe siyakhatimula, ngobe phela abekhulume naNkulunkulu.
30 Watsi kube Aroni nawo onkhe ema-Israyeli babone Mosi kutsi sikhumba sebuso bakhe siyakhatimula, besaba kusondzela kuye.
31 Kodvwa Mosi wababita, abita Aroni nebaholi bonkhe; bancandzeka babuyela kuye, Mosi wakhuluma nabo.
32 Emvakwaloko onkhe ema-Israyeli asondzela kuye, wase uwanika lemiyalo labeyinikwe nguSimakadze eNtsabeni iSinayi.
33 Watsi kube Mosi acedze kukhuluma kubo, wabe sewumbonya buso bakhe ngendvwangu.
34 Njalo nje Mosi abetsi nakangena ebukhoneni baSimakadze, lendvwangu ayisuse, aze aphume. Abetsi angaphuma, awatjele ema-Israyeli konkhe labetfunywe kutsi akwente.
35 Ema-Israyeli abebona kutsi buso baMosi buyakhatimula, ngako Mosi abebumbonya ngendvwangu lobuso bakhe, aze aphindze angene kuyawukhuluma naSimakadze.
1 Mosi wasihlanganisa sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli, wakhuluma kuso watsi: “Naku-ke Simakadze laniyale ngako kutsi nikwente:
2 Kufanele nente imisebenti yenu emalanga lasitfupha, kodvwa lilanga lesikhombisa nilingcwelise kube liSabatha, lilanga lekuphumula, lilanga lelinikelwe kuSimakadze. Losebenta ngalelo langa kufanele abulawe.
3 Ningawubasi ngisho nemlilo emitini yenu ngelilanga leSabatha.”
4 Mosi wakhuluma kuso sonkhe sive sema-Israyeli, watsi: “Naku-ke Simakadze laniyale ngako kutsi nikwente:
5 Tsatselani Simakadze umnikelo kuloko leninako. Wonkhe lonenhlitiyo levumako akaletse umnikelo kuSimakadze: umnikelo wegolide, newesiliva, newelitfusi,

10 “Onkhe emadvodza lanelikhono lasemkhatsini wenu kufanele ente naku Simakadze latsite akwentiwe:

27 Bo-Aroni nemadvodzana akhe babelukela babatfungela tingubo letingenamkhono ngendvwangu yelineni lecolisakele,
28 nemishuculo yenhloko, netincotfo tayo, nemibekelo yendvwangu yelineni lecolisakele,
29 nelibhande lelelukwe ngemtiya welineni lecolisakele, nangensontfo leluhlata njengesibhakabhaka, nalebukhwebeletane, nalebovu ngalokutopele; bakuhlobisa, njengobe Simakadze abeyale Mosi.
30 Benta ngcwengcwe ngegolide lecengekile, umhlobiso longcwele, base babhala kuye ngekucopha emagama latsi: “Kwehlukaniselwe Nkulunkulu.”
31 Longcwengcwe bambophela emshuculweni ngentsambo leluhlata njengesibhakabhaka; konkhe loko bakwenta njengobe Simakadze abeyale Mosi.
32 Bawenta bawucedza wonkhe umsebenti wekwakha lithende lekukhontela, lekulithende lekuhlangana. Ema-Israyeli akwenta konkhe Simakadze labeyale Mosi kutsi kwentiwe.
33 Baletsa kuMosi lithende lekukhontela nako konkhe lokuhambisana nalo: lithende, nemahhuka, netinsikabhaluko, nemakabha, netinsika, nemaseko;
34 nesimbonyo setikhumba tetihhanca letishukiwe taguculwa taba bovu; nesimbonyo setikhumba temahhashi aselwandle letishukwe kahle; nendvwangu levimbe libhokisi lesivumelwane;
35 libhokisi lesivumelwane lelalinetibhelekeca tematje, netimboko talo, nesihlalo semusa;
36 litafula nako konkhe lokuhambisana nalo nesinkhwa sebukhona;
37 lutsi lwetibane lwegolide lecengekile netibane talo, nalokuhambisana nalo, kanye nemafutsa ekukhanyisa;
38 lilati legolide, nemafutsa emgcobo, nemphepho lenuka kamnandzi, nendvwangu yelisango lelithende;
39 lilati lelitfusi, nemhlobiso walo welitfusi losasisefo, netimboko talo, nato tonkhe timphahla letihambisana nalelilati; nemgezelo nesibunu sawo;
40 netindvwangu tesibuya, netinsika, nemaseko ato, nendvwangu yemnyango wesibuya, netintsambo taso, netiphunti taso; netimphahla tonkhe telithende lekukhontela, lithende lekuhlangana,
41 netembatfo letihlotjiswe kahle letisetjentiswa ekukhonteni endzaweni lengcwele, lekutembatfo letingcwele ta-Aroni, umphristi, kanye netembatfo temadvodzana akhe, labatisebentisa nabenta inkonzo yabo yebuphristi.
42 Ema-Israyeli enta konkhe njengobe Mosi abeyalwe nguSimakadze.
43 Mosi wakuhlola konkhe wakubukisisa, wabona kutsi kwentiwe njengobe abelayelwe nguSimakadze. Ngako-ke Mosi wase uyababusisa.
1 Simakadze wakhuluma kuMosi, watsi:
2 “Ngelilanga lekucala enyangeni yekucala ubomisa lithende lekukhontela, lekulithende lekuhlangana.
3 Ekhatsi kwalo ubobeka libhokisi lesivumelwane lelinemiyalo lelishumi, bese ulivimba ngendvwangu embikwalo.
4 Ubongenisa lelitafula, uhlelise kahle konkhe loko lokufanele kubekwe etikwalo. Ubongenisa nalolutsi lwetibane, bese ufaka letibane lapha kulo.
5 Lilati legolide lekushisela imphepho ubolibeka embikwalelibhokisi lesivumelwane, ulengise lendvwangu ekungeneni kwalelithende lekukhontela.
6 Embikwelithende lekukhontela ubobeka lilati lekushisela umnikelo.
7 Emkhatsini welithende lekuhlangana nelilati ubobeka umgezelo, uwugcwalise ngemanti.
8 Sibuya ubosakha, ufake nendvwangu ilenge emnyango waso.
9 “Lithende lekukhontela kanye nako konkhe lokuhambisana nalo ubobe sewuyakunikela ngekukugcoba ngemafutsa langcwele, kutawuba ngcwele.
10 Emvakwaloko lelilati lemnikelo wekushiswa nako konkhe lokuhambisana nako ubokugcoba ngemafutsa ukunikele kutawube sekuba ngcwele ngalokuphelele.
11 Umgezelo kanye nesibunu sawo nako ubokugcoba ngemafutsa ukunikele kube ngcwele.
12 “Uboletsa Aroni nemadvodzana akhe ekungeneni kwelithende lekuhlangana, ubatjele bafike batihlambulule lapho.
13 Ubogcokisa Aroni ngetembatfo tebuphristi, bese uyamgcoba abe ngcwele, khona atewungikhonta njengemphristi.
14 Uboletsa nalamadvodzana akhe nawo uwagcokise tingubo tawo letingenamkhono.
15 Nawo lamadvodzana ubowagcoba, njengobe ugcobe uyise, khona nawo atewungikhonta njengebaphristi. Lomgcobo utawubenta babe baphristi titukulwane ngetitukulwane.”
16 Mosi wakwenta konkhe loko njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
17 Ngako-ke ngelilanga lekucala enyangeni yekucala emnyakeni wesibili baphumile eGibhithe lithende lekukhontela lemiswa laphela.
18 Mosi walakha lithende lekukhontela: wabeka emaseko alo, wemisa tinsikabhaluko talo netinsika talo, wafaka nemakabha alo.
19 Wase uyakumbonya konkhe loko ngetimbonyo leto letehlukene, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
20 Watsatsa tibhelekeca tematje letimbili watifaka ebhokisini lesivumelwane. Wafaka letimboko kulamajiva alo, wase ulimbonya ngesihlalo semusa.
21 Libhokisi lesivumelwane walifaka ekhatsi ethendeni lekukhontela, walengisa indvwangu yekulifihla livalekile, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
22 Litafula walifaka ekhatsi ethendeni lekuhlangana ngasenyakatfo, ngaphandle kwendvwangu,
23 wabeka etikwalo sinkhwa sebukhona, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
24 Wabeka lutsi lwetibane ethendeni lekuhlangana ngaseningizimu macondzana nelitafula,
25 wase ukhanyisa letibane embikwaSimakadze, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
26 Lelilati legolide walibeka ethendeni lekuhlangana embikwayo lendvwangu,
27 wase ushisa lemphepho lenuka kamnandzi, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
28 Indvwangu wayilengisa ekungeneni kwelithende lekukhontela,
29 kwase kutsi embikwalendvwangu wabeka lilati lekushisela umnikelo. Etikwalo wanikela ngemnikelo wekushiswa, nangemnikelo walokutinhlavu, njengobe Simakadze abemyalile.
30 Wabeka umgezelo emkhatsini welithende lekuhlangana nelilati, wawugcwalisa ngemanti ekugeza.
31 Mosi, na-Aroni, nemadvodzana akhe babegezela kuwo tandla tabo netinyawo
32 njalo nje nabangena ethendeni lekuhlangana nome nabasondzela elatini, njengobe Simakadze abeyale Mosi.
33 Mosi wakha sibuya, satungeleta lithende lekukhontela nelilati ndzawo tonkhe, walengisa indvwangu emnyango wesibuya. Ngako-ke Mosi wawucedza wonkhe umsebenti.
34 Lifu lasibekela lithende lekuhlangana, inkhatimulo yaSimakadze yagcwalisa lithende lekukhontela.
35 Loko kwenta kutsi Mosi ehluleke kungena ethendeni lekuhlangana, ngobe lifu lase lilisibekele. Lithende lekukhontela lase ligcwele inkhatimulo yaSimakadze.
36 Lalitsi lelifu lingaphakama, ema-Israyeli atfutse ayekucaba embili.
37 Abengatfutsi nangabe lelifu lingakesuki etikwalelithende lekukhontela.
38 Kulo lonkhe luhambo lwabo lifu laSimakadze emini lalibonakala etikwalelithende lekukhontela, kutsi ebusuku libe ngumlilo lovutsako etikwalo, onkhe ema-Israyeli abuka.
