UNkulunkulu unika amaIsrayeli imana

1Basebesuka eElimi a, lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yafika enkangala yeSini, ephakathi kweElimi leSinayi, ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga yesibili emva kokuphuma kwabo elizweni leGibhithe. 2Lenhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yakhonona imelana loMozisi loAroni b enkangala. 3Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesithi kubo: Kungathi ngabe safa ngesandla seNkosi elizweni leGibhithe lapho sasihlezi embizeni zenyama, lapho sadla isinkwa sasutha c; ngoba lisikhuphele kulinkangala ukuze libulale lelibandla lonke ngendlala.

4INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khangela, ngizalinisela isinkwa sivela emazulwini d; labantu bazaphuma ukubutha isabelo sosuku ngosuku lwaso, ukuze ngibalinge e ukuthi bazahamba ngomlayo wami yini kumbe hayi. 5Kuzakuthi-ke ngosuku lwesithupha bazalungisa lokho abakulethileyo, njalo kuzabe kuphindwe kabili kulokho abakubuthayo insuku ngensuku f. 6UMozisi loAroni basebesithi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli: Kusihlwa g, khona lizakwazi ukuthi iNkosi ilikhuphile elizweni leGibhithe h; 7njalo kusisa, khona lizabona inkazimulo yeNkosi i, ngoba izwile ukukhonona kwenu limelene leNkosi. Thina-ke siyini ukuthi lisikhononele j? 8UMozisi wasesithi: Lapho iNkosi ilinika inyama yokudla kusihlwa, lesinkwa ekuseni, ukuze lisuthe, kungoba iNkosi izwile ukukhonona kwenu elikukhonona limelene layo. Ngoba thina siyini? Ukukhonona kwenu kakumelananga lathi, kodwa kumelene leNkosi k.

9UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni l: Tshono kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: Sondelani phambi kweNkosi m, ngoba izwile ukukhonona kwenu. 10Kwasekusithi uAroni esakhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, bakhangela ngasenkangala, khangela-ke, inkazimulo yeNkosi yabonakala eyezini n.

11INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi: 12Sengizwile ukukhonona kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli o; batshele uthi: Kusihlwa lizakudla inyama p, lekuseni lisuthe isinkwa q, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu. 13Kwasekusithi ntambama kwenyuka izagwaca, zasibekela inkamba; lakusisa kwakulomlalela wamazolo uzingelezele inkamba. 14Kwathi umlalela wamazolo usuwenyukile, khangela-ke, phezu kobuso benkangala into eyisigaqa encinyane, incinyane njengongqwaqwane emhlabathini r. 15Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bezibona bathi omunye komunye: Yimana. Ngoba babengazi ukuthi kuyini. UMozisi wasesithi kubo: Kuyisinkwa iNkosi elinike sona ukuze lidle s. 16Le yinto iNkosi elilaye ngayo yathi: Ngulowo lalowo kabuthe kuyo okulingene ukudla kwakhe t, i-omeri* ngekhanda, njengenani lemiphefumulo yenu, ngulowo uzathathela abasethenteni lakhe. 17Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njalo, babutha, omunye okunengi lomunye okulutshwana. 18Sebelinganise nge-omeri* u, lowo owayebuthe okunengi kabanga lokusalayo, lowayebuthe okulutshwana kaswelanga v; babutha, ngulowo lalowo okulingene ukudla kwakhe w. 19UMozisi wasesithi kubo: Kakungabi lamuntu otshiya kukho kuze kube sekuseni. 20Kodwa kabamlalelanga uMozisi; kodwa abanye batshiya kukho kwaze kwaba sekuseni, kwasekuphethuza impethu, kwaba levumba. Ngakho uMozisi wabathukuthelela. 21Bakubutha ukusa ngokusa, ngulowo lalowo okulingene ukudla kwakhe; lapho ilanga selitshisa, kwancibilika.

22Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithupha babutha isinkwa esiphindwe kabili, ama-omeri* amabili ngamunye. Njalo zonke izinduna zenhlangano zeza zamtshela uMozisi. 23Wasesithi kuzo: Lokhu yikho iNkosi ekutshiloyo: Kusasa yikuphumula, isabatha elingcwele leNkosi x. Bhakani elizakubhaka, lipheke elizakupheka, konke lokho okuseleyo lizibekele kugcinwe kuze kube sekuseni. 24Basebekubeka kwaze kwaba sekuseni njengokulaya kukaMozisi. Njalo kakubanga levumba, kwakungelampethu kukho y. 25UMozisi wasesithi: Dlanini lokhu lamuhla, ngoba lamuhla kulisabatha leNkosi; lamuhla kaliyikukuthola egangeni. 26Lizakubutha insuku eziyisithupha; kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa, isabatha, kakuyikuba khona kulo.

27Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa abanye babantu baphuma ukubutha, kodwa kabakutholanga. 28INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lisala ukugcina imilayo yami lemithetho yami? 29Bonani, ngoba iNkosi ilinikile isabatha, ngakho ilinika ngosuku lwesithupha isinkwa sensuku ezimbili; hlalani kube ngulowo lalowo endaweni yakhe, kakungaphumi muntu endaweni yakhe ngosuku lwesikhombisa z. 30Ngakho abantu baphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa. 31Indlu yakoIsrayeli yasibiza ibizo lakho ngokuthi yimana aa; njalo kwakunjengenhlanyelo yekhoriyanderi* emhlophe, lokunambitheka kwayo kwakunjengezinkwana eziyizipatalala eziloluju ab.

32UMozisi wasesithi: Le yinto iNkosi elaye ngayo ukuthi: Gcwalisani i-omeri ngayo igcinelwe izizukulwana zenu, ukuze zibone isinkwa engalinika sona ukuthi lidle enkangala ekulikhupheni kwami elizweni leGibhithe. 33UMozisi wasesithi kuAroni: Thatha inqayi eyodwa, ufake kuyo i-omeri* eligcwele imana, uyibeke phambi kweNkosi, igcinelwe izizukulwana zenu ac. 34Njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi, uAroni wayibeka phambi kobufakazi ukuze igcinwe ad. 35Abantwana bakoIsrayeli-ke badla imana iminyaka engamatshumi amane ae baze bafika elizweni elakhiweyo af. Badla imana baze bafika emngceleni welizwe leKhanani. 36I-omeri-ke* ingokwetshumi kwe-efa* ag.
