1USomnini wathi kuMosi: “Baza imiqebethu emibili njengeyokuthoma. Ngizotlola kiyo amagama agade akeyokuthoma owayephulako. 2Qinisekisa bonyana kusasa ekuseni ulungela ukwenyukela kimi entabeni yeSinayi, ungilinde esiqongolweni sentaba. 3Kungabi nomuntu oza nawe godu kungabonakali muntu kiyo yoke intaba. Ungavumeli bonyana kutjhidele izimvu, iimbuzi neenkomo entabenapha.”
4Yeke uMosi wabaza imiqebethu emibili njengeyekuthomeni. Wavuka ekuseni wakhuphukela entabeni yeSinayi aphethe imiqebethu emibili njengombana uSomnini bekamyalile. 5USomnini wehla ngelifu lapha uMosi agade alinde khona. Kwathi asathandaza, 6uSomnini wadlula ngaphambi kwakhe wamemezela wathi: “USomnini, uSomnini unguZimu onomusa nesirhawu, ubuthaka ekusilingekeni, uzele ukwethembeka neqiniso! 7Uhlala athembekile eenkulungwaneni ngeenkulungwana zeenzukulwana, ulibalela imilandu, imitjhapho nezono, kodwana akazumlisa onomlandu. Wehlisela isibetho sezono zaboyise phezu kwabantwababo besizukulwana sesithathu nesesine.”
8Msinyana uMosi waguqa, wahloma ihloko phasi, 9wathi kuSomnini: “Nakube gadesi ngifumene umusa emehlweni kaSomandla, bengithi angibawe bona uSomandla akhambe phakathi kwethu nanyana sineentanyana nje. USomnini akalibalele imilandu nezono zethu, asithathe njengelifa lakhe.”
10USomnini wathi kuye: “Qala, ngizimisele ukuvuselela isivumelwano. Phambi kwabo boke abantu bakho ngizakwenza iimangaliso ezingazange khezibonwe kilo loke iphasi namkha ezizweni zoke. Boke abantu ophakathi kwabo bazakubona umsebenzi kaSomnini. Iye, ngizakwenza okwesabekako ngawe.
11“Gcinani imiyalo enginiyala ngayo namhlanjesi. Qala, ngizaqotjha ama-Amori, amaKanana, amaRhithi, amaPerizi, amaRhivi namaJebusi phambi kwenu. 12Tjhejani ningenzi isivumelwano nabahlali benarha eniya kiyo ngombana lokho kuzakuba sisifu phakathi kwenu. 13Nibhuruze ama-aldarabo, niphadlhe amatjabo wesikhumbuzo benigawule imifanekiswabo yabo-Atjhera. 14Ningakhothameli usingazimu ngombana nginguZimu ongahlanganiswako, ngikho ngaziwa bonyana nginguSomnini onesikhwele nje. 15Ningenzi isivumelwano nabahlali benarha le ngombana bazakuthi lokha nabadlhemadlhema ngemva kwabosingazimu babo babahlabele bese bayanimema bona nigome imihlabelwabo. 16Ningathathelani nabo ngombana abantwababo nabadlhemadlhema ngemva kwabosingazimu babo bazakuyenga abantwabenu bona nabo bagijime nabosingazimu.
17“Ningazenzeli abosingazimu ababaziweko.
18“Yenzani umnyanya wesiKwa esinganaNgumelo njengombana nginiyalile. Nizagoma isikwa esinganangumelo amalanga alikhomba ngesikhathi esibekiweko ngenyanga ka-Abibi ngombana leyo yinyanga enaphuma ngayo eGibhide. 19Koke okuduna okuphume qangi esibelethweni kungokwami, kungaba ngokweenkomo namkha kwezimvu neembuzi. 20Elinye nelinye izibulo lakadumbana nilihlenge ngemvana namkha ngembuzana, nakungasinjalo nilephule intamo. Woke amazibulo wabantu hlangana namadodanenu niwahlenge. Kungabi nomuntu ozakuvela phambi kwami amkhonoze.
21“Nisebenze amalanga asithandathu bese kelekhomba niphumule. Nanyana kungaba sikhathi sokulima namkha sokuvuna niphumule. 22Nenze umnyanya weemVeke lokha nanivuna ikoroyi yokuthoma. Godu nenze umnyanya wokuButhelela ekupheleni komnyaka. 23Boke abaduna benu bazakuvela kathathu ngomnyaka phambi kwakaSomandla uSomnini onguZimu ka-Israyeli. 24Njengombana ngizokuqotjha izizwe phambi kwenu bese ngikhulise imikhawulwenu nje, akunamuntu ozarhalela inarhenu lokha naniyokuvela kathathu ngomnyaka phambi kwakaSomnini uZimenu.
25“Kungabi nesibiliso lapha nenzela khona umhlabelo.
“Umhlabelo womnyanya wePhasika ungahlali bekuse.
26“Lethani njalo imikhiqizo yokuthoma yehlabathenu endaweni ecwengileko kaSomnini uZimenu.
“Ningapheki imbuzana ngebisi lakanina.”
27Godu uSomnini wathi kuMosi: “Tlola naka amezwi ngombana ukuya ngamezwi la, ngenze isivumelwano nawe no-Israyeli.”
28UMosi wahlala lapho noSomnini amalanga amatjhumi amane nobusuku bakhona. Azange agome isikwa namkha asele amanzi. USomnini watlola amezwi wesivumelwano phezu kwemiqebethu. Lokho bekumiyalo elitjhumi.
29UMosi nehla entabeni yeSinayi nemiqebethu emibili yobufakazi, gade angakatjheji bonyana ubuso bakhe buyaphazimula ngebanga lokukhuluma kwakhe noZimu. 30Kwathi lokha u-Aroni nabantu boke bakwa-Israyeli nababona bonyana ubuso bakaMosi buyaphazimula, besaba ukutjhidela kuye. 31Kodwana uMosi wababiza. U-Aroni nabo boke abaphathi bomkhambathi beza kuye, wakhuluma nabo.
32Ngemva kwalapho woke ama-Israyeli atjhidela, wawanikela yoke imiyalo uSomnini amnikele yona entabeni yeSinayi. 33Kuthe bona uMosi aqede ukukhuluma nabo wazigubuzesa ngesiyaya. 34Bekuthi njalo lokha uMosi nayokhuluma noSomnini agubulule isiyaya kufikela lapha aphuma khona ngetendeni. Naphuma lapho gade atjela ama-Israyeli lokho uSomnini amyale ngakho, 35ama-Israyeli aphele abona bonyana ubuso bakaMosi buyaphazimula. Yeke uMosi gade azigubuzesa ngesiyaya godu kufikela lapha ayokhuluma khona noSomnini.
