Exo 12 | Ndebele | STEP | IN kosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni elizweni leGibhithe, isithi:

1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni elizweni leGibhithe, isithi: 2 Le inyanga kayibe kini yinhloko yezinyanga, ibe kini ngeyokuqala yenyanga zomnyaka ^a.

3 Khulumani kunhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli lithi: Ngolwetshumi lwalinyanga bazazithathela ngulowo iwundlu, ngokwezindlu zaboyise, iwundlu ngendlu. 4 Uba-ke indlu incinyane kakhulu ewundlwini, kakuthi yena athathe lomakhelwane wakhe, oseduze lendlu yakhe, njengobunengi bemiphefumulo; ngulowo njengokudla kwakhe, lizabalela iwundlu. 5 Lizakuba lezinyane elingelasici, eliduna, elilomnyaka owodwa ^b; lithatheni ezimvini loba ezimbuzini. 6 Njalo lizaligcina kuze kufike usuku lwetshumi lane lwaleyonyanga ^c, njalo ibandla lonke lenhlangano yakoIsrayeli izalihlaba kusihlwa. 7 Bazathatha-ke okwegazi, bakufake emigubazini yomibili lekhothameni, ezindlini abazalidlela kuzo. 8 Njalo bazakudla inyama ngalobobusuku, yosiwe ngomlilo, lesinkwa esingelamvubelo ^d, lemibhida ebabayo bazayidla. 9 Lingadli okwalo kuluhlaza kumbe kuphekiwe lokuphekwa ngamanzi ^e, kodwa yosiwe ngomlilo; inhloko yalo lemilenze yalo, kanye lemibilini yalo ^f. 10 Njalo lingatshiyi lutho kulo kuze kube sekuseni ^g, kodwa okusalayo kulo kuze kube sekuseni lizakutshisa ngomlilo.

11 Ngokunjalo-ke lizalidla, inkalo zenu zibotshiwe, izicathulo zenu zisenyaweni zenu, lendondolo zenu zisezandleni zenu; lizalidla ngokuphangisa; kuliphasika leNkosi ^h. 12 Ngoba ngizadabula phakathi kwelizwe leGibhithe ngalobubusuku ⁱ, ngitshaye wonke amazibulo elizweni leGibhithe, kusukela emuntwini kusiya enyamazaneni, ngizakwenza izigwebo kubo bonke onkulunkulu beGibhithe; mina ngiyiNkosi ^j. 13 Legazi lizakuba kini yisibonakaliso ezindlini lapho elikhona; nxa ngibona igazi ngizadlula phezu kwenu, njalo kungehleli kini inhlupheko yokuchitha, mhla ngitshaya ilizwe leGibhithe. 14 Njalo lolusuku luzakuba kini yisikhumbuzo ^k; njalo lizalugcina lube ngumkhosi eNkosini; lizalugcina ezizukulwaneni zenu ngokomthetho wanininini ^l. 15 Insuku eziyisikhombisa lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo ^m. Yebo ngosuku lokuqala lizakhupha imvubelo ezindlini zenu; ngoba wonke odla okuvutshelweyo kusukela kusuku lokuqala kuze kufike usuku lwesikhombisa, lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke koIsrayeli ⁿ. 16 Njalo ngosuku lokuqala kuzakuba khona inhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele ^o, langosuku lwesikhombisa lizakuba lenhlangano ebiziweyo engcwele; kungenziwa msebenzi ngazo, kuphela lokho wonke umphefumulo okudlayo, lokho kodwa kungenziwa yini. 17 Ngakho gcinani izinkwa ezingelamvubelo; ngoba ngalona lolosuku ngikhuphile amabutho enu elizweni leGibhithe ^p. Ngakho lizagcina lolosuku ezizukulwaneni zenu ngesimiso saphakade ^q.

18 Kweyokuqala, osukwini lwetshumi lane lwenyanga kusihlwa lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo, kuze kufike usuku lwamatshumi amabili lanye lwenyanga kusihlwa. 19 Insuku eziyisikhombisa kakungaficwa imvubelo ezindlini zenu; ngoba wonke odla okuvutshelweyo lowomphefumulo uzaqunywa usuke kunhlangano yakoIsrayeli, loba engowemzini loba engowokuzalwa elizweni. 20 Lingadli lutho oluvutshelweyo; emizini yenu yonke lizakudla isinkwa esingelamvubelo.

21 UMozisi wasebiza bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli, wathi kubo: Hudulani lizithathele amawundlu ngokwensapho zenu ^r, lihlabe iphasika, 22 lithathe ilixha lehisope* ^s, liligxamuze egazini elisemganwini ^t, lininde ekhothameni lemigubazini emibili ^u ngegazi elisemganwini; lina-ke, kakungaphumi muntu endlini yakhe kuze kube sekuseni. 23 Ngoba iNkosi izadabula ukutshaya amaGibhithe; nxa ibona igazi ekhothameni lemigubazini yomibili, iNkosi izadlula phezu komnyango, ingavumeli umchithi ukuthi angene ezindlini zenu ukutshaya. 24 Njalo lizagcina le into, kube yisimiso kini lakubantwana benu kuze kube phakade. 25 Njalo kuzakuthi lapho lifika elizweni iNkosi ezalinika lona njengokukhuluma kwayo ^v, lizagcina linkonzo. 26 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho abantwana benu besithi kini ^w: Iyini linkonzo elilayo? 27 Lizakuthi-ke: Lo ngumhlatshelo wephasika leNkosi ^x, eyedlula phezu kwezindlu zabantwana bakoIsrayeli eGibhithe mhla itshaya amaGibhithe, wophula izindlu zethu. Njalo abantu bakhothama bakhonza ^y. 28 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebehamba, bayakwenza njengalokhu iNkosi yayibalayile oMozisi loAroni, benza njalo.

Ukubulawa kwamazibulo amaGibhithe

29 Kwasekusithi phakathi kobusuku ^z iNkosi yatshaya wonke amazibulo elizweni leGibhithe ^aa, kusukela kuzibulo likaFaro elalizahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi kuze kube kuzibulo lesibotshwa esasisentolongweni, lamazibulo wonke ezifuyo ^ab. 30 UFaro wasesukuma ebusuku, yena lenceku zakhe zonke lamaGibhithe wonke. Kwasekusiba khona isililo esikhulu eGibhithe ^ac, ngoba kwakungekho ndlu lapho okwakungelamufi khona.

31 Wasebiza oMozisi loAroni ebusuku, wathi: Sukumani, liphume phakathi kwabantu bami, lonke lina labantwana bakoIsrayeli, lihambe liyekhonza iNkosi njengokutsho kwenu ^ad. 32 Thathani lani izimvu zenu lenkomo zenu njengokutsho kwenu ^ae, lihambe; futhi lingibusise lami. 33 Njalo amaGibhithe ayebakhuthaza abantu ebahaluzelisa ukuthi baphume elizweni ^af, ngoba athi: Sonke sifile. 34 Abantu-ke bathatha inhlama yabo ingakavutshelwa, betshata imiganu yabo yokuxovela ibotshelwe ezembathweni zabo. 35 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengelizwi likaMozisi; bacela kumaGibhithe izinto zesiliva lezinto zegolide lezigqoko ^ag. 36 INkosi yasibapha abantu umusa emehlweni amaGibhithe ^ah, aze abanika izicelo zabo. Basebewaphundla amaGibhithe ^ai.

AmaIsrayeli asuka eGibhithe

37 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesuka eRamesesi ^aj besiya eSukothi ^ak; amadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha ahamba ngenyawo ^al, ngaphandle kwabantwana. 38 Kwasekusenyuka labo lexuku lenhlobonhlobo, lezimvu lezinkomo, lezifuyo ezinengi kakhulu. 39 Basebebhaka izinkwa ezingelamvubelo ngenhlama abayikhupha eGibhithe, ngoba ingavutshelwanga, ngoba baxotshwa eGibhithe ^am, ngoba babengelakulibala, futhi bengazilungiselelanga umphako.

40 Isikhathi sokuhlala-ke kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abasihlala eGibhithe sasiyiminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu ^an. 41 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu, kwathi ngalona lolosuku wonke amabutho eNkosi aphuma elizweni leGibhithe ^ao. 42 Kuyibusuku bemilindo eNkosini ngokubakhupha elizweni leGibhithe; lobu yibusuku beNkosi bemilindo yabo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli ezizukulwaneni zabo.

Imithetho yephasika

43 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi loAroni: Lesi yisimiso sephasika. Kakho owezizwe ongalidla; 44 kodwa sonke isigqili sawo wonke umuntu, esathengwa ngemali, nxa usisokile, ngalesosikhathi sizakudla kulo ^ap. 45 Owezizwe loqhatshiweyo bangadli kulo ^aq. 46 Lizadlelwa endlini yinye; ungakhupheli phandle kwendlu okwenyama, ungephuli thambo lalo ^ar. 47 Inhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli izakwenza ^as lokhu. 48 Uba owemzini ohlala lani njengowezizwe ^at egcinela iNkosi iphasika, kabasokwe bonke abesilisa laye, abesesondela-ke aligcine, uzakuba njengowokuzalwa elizweni ^au; kodwa kakho ongasokwanga ozalidla. 49 Umlayo munye uzakuba kowokuzalwa elizweni lakowemzini ohlala phakathi kwenu njengowezizwe ^av.

50 Bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza njengalokhu iNkosi yayibalayile oMozisi loAroni; benza njalo. 51 Kwasekusithi ngalona lolosuku iNkosi yabakhupha abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe ngamabutho abo ^aw.
