UNUMERI 30
Iimfungo neenthembiso
1UMosi wakhuluma nazo zoke iinhloko zeenkoro zakwa-Israyeli wathi: “Nakhu uSomnini ayale ngakho: 2Lokha indoda yenza isithembiso kuSomnini namkha yenza isifungo sokuzibophelela ngepilwayo, kufuze ingawephuli amezwayo. Ayenze koke ekukhulumileko. 3Lokha wesifazana enza isithembiso kuSomnini namkha azibophe ngesibopho ebutjheni bakhe khisibe usese ngakwabo, 4noyise ezwe isithembiso namkha isibopho azibophe ngaso kodwana angatjho litho kuye, khona-ke zoke iinthembiso zakhe zizakujama begodu esinye nesinye isibopho azibophe ngaso naso sizakuba ngesijamileko. 5Kodwana nangabe uyise uthi ngokuzwa ngaso bese umsola khona mhlokho, khona-ke akunasithembiso namkha isibopho umntazana azibophe ngaso esizakujama. USomnini uzamcolela ngombana uyise umsolile.
6“Nangabe wende endodeni asese sesithembisweni sakhe namkha ekulumeni engayi ndawo ayikhulumileko wazibopha ngayo, 7bese umyenakhe ezwe ngalokho, angatjho litho nokho ngelanga ezwa ngalo; khona-ke iinthembiso zakhe neembopho azibophe ngazo zizakujama. 8Kodwana nangabe kuthi ngelanga indodakhe ezwa ngalo bese imsole, izakwenza bona isithembiso nekulumo engayi ndawo ayikhulumileko wazibopha ngayo, ibe lilize. USomnini uzamcolela. 9(Mayelana nomhlolokazi namkha ibuya: Koke azibopha ngakho kuzakujama.) 10Nangabe umfazi uthembisa angakwakhe namkha azibophe ngesibopho sokufunga, 11indodakhe izwe ngalokho, nokho ingatjho litho kuye begodu ingamsoli, khona-ke esinye nesinye isithembiso sakhe nesibopho esinye nesinye azibophe ngaso sizakujama. 12Kodwana nangabe indodakhe yenza izintwezo ilize mhlana izwa ngazo, nje-ke koke okuphume emlonyenakhe mayelana neenthembiso namkha iimbopho zakhe angeze kwajama. Indodakhe izabe yenze koke lokho ilize, yeke uSomnini uzamcolela. 13Esinye nesinye isithembiso nanyana isifungo sokuzibopha ngokuzila, indodakhe ingenza bona sijame namkha isenze ilize. 14Kodwana nangabe woke amalanga indodakhe ithe du ngendaba leyo, khona-ke yenza zoke iinthembiso neembopho zomfazi loyo zijame. Iye, izenze zajama ngombana akhange itjho litho kuye mhlana izwa ngazo. 15Nangabe indodakhe izenza ilize ngemva kwesikhathi esithileko sele izwile ngazo yeke ngiyo ezakuthwala isiphambeko somfazi.”
16Lezo-ke ziimiso uSomnini ayala ngazo uMosi mayelana nendoda nomkayo, uyise nendodakazi ebutjheni bayo nayisese sendlini kayise.
