EYASENTLANGO 15

₁*UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis ₂makathethe namaSirayeli, athi: “Nakuba nifikile kwelo zwe ndininike lona ukuba libe lelenu, ₃kungánikelwa ngenkomo, noba yigusha, okanye ibhokhwe, xa kusenziwa amadini ngomlilo, nokuba lidini elitshiswayo, nokuba lelinye idini elisisifungo, okanye elokuqhutywa yintliziyo, okanye elamathuba emibhiyozo. Amadini anje ke alivumba eliyolileyo kuNdikhoyo. ₄Ke yena umntu owenzela uNdikhoyo idini elinjalo makathathe ikhilogram yomgubo wengqolowa oxutywe nelitha yamafutha omnquma, ukuze ube ngumnikelo wokutya, ₅ngokunjalo ngesilwanyana ngasinye aphathe nelitha yewayini ibe ngumnikelo othululwayo. ₆Xa kusenziwa idini ngenkunzi yegusha, mayihambe neekhilogram ezimbini zomgubo wengqolowa oxutywe nelitha enesiqingatha yamafutha omnquma ukwenzela umnikelo wokutya, ₇ngokunjalo nelitha enesiqingatha yewayini engumnikelo othululwayo. Ivumba lamadini anje ke liyolile kuNdikhoyo. _8-9Kanti ke xa kusenzelwa uNdikhoyo idini elitshiswayo, noba lidini lesifungo, okanye idini lobudlelwana, inkunzi yenkomo mayihambe neekhilogram ezintathu zomgubo wengqolowa oxutywe neelitha ezimbini zamafutha omnquma, uze ube ngumnikelo wokutya, ₁₀ngokunjalo neelitha ezimbini zewayini, zibe ngumnikelo othululwayo. Eli ke lidini lomlilo elivumba liyolileyo kuNdikhoyo.

₁₁“Kuya kuqhutywa ngolu hlobo ke, kwinkunzi yenkomo nganye, inkunzi yegusha, noba lixhwane eliliduna legusha okanye elebhokhwe. ₁₂Maze kwenziwe njalo ngedini ngalinye nokuba mangaphi. ₁₃Onke amaSirayeli omthonyama makenjenje ke xa esenza idini ngomlilo, dini elo lileliyolileyo kuNdikhoyo. ₁₄Nanini na xa owolunye uhlanga ophakathi kwenu esenza idini ngomlilo elivumba liyolileyo kuNdikhoyo, naye makahambe kwangale miqathango. ₁₅Nakwizizukulwana ezizayo ke le miqathango soze ithini kumaSirayeli ngokunjalo nakubangeneleli. Kaloku ngokukaNdikhoyo akukho mahluko phakathi kwenu neentlanga. ₁₆Ewe, le mithetho nale miqathango inibandakanya nonke.”

₁₇UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis ₁₈makathethe namaSirayeli, athi: “Nakufika kwilizwe endinisa kulo, ₁₉xa nisitya ukutya kwelo zwe, maze ninikele inxalenye kuNdikhoyo. ₂₀Kwisivuno sengqolowa iqebengwana lokuqala malinikelwe libe ngumnikelo wesivuno. ₂₁Apha ke nakwixa elizayo noqhuba njalo nenze umnikelo kuNdikhoyo womgubo wesivuno sokuqala.”

₂₂Waqhuba wathi *uNdikhoyo: “Xa kwenzekile ukuba umntu othile ayaphule ngempazamo le miyalelo inikwe uMosis nguNdikhoyo, ₂₃mhlawumbi kwenzeke ukuba izizukulwana ezizayo zamaSirayeli ziyiphazame ngokungaqondi le miyalelo, koqhutywa ngolu hlobo: ₂₄Ukuba loo mpazamo yenzeke ngokungaqondi kwebandla liphela, kofuneka kuthathwe inkunzi eselula yenkomo, kwenziwe idini elitshiswayo ngayo – dini elo ke lithandekayo kuNdikhoyo – likhatshwe ngokomgaqo ngumnikelo wokutya nothululwayo, kongezwe nenkunzi yebhokhwe, ibe lidini lesono. ₂₅Ngezi zinto umbingeleli uya kucamagushela ibandla lamaSirayeli, lize lixolelwe. Kaloku impazamo leyo yeyokungaqondi, ibe ke futhi elenzile idini ngomlilo elikwalidini lesono. ₂₆Ibandla liphela ndawonye nabangeneleli baya kuxolelwa, kuba kaloku xa bebonke iyababandakanya le mpazamo.

₂₇“Xa umntu one ngempazamo, makenze idini lesono ngethokazi lebhokhwe elinyaka mnye. ₂₈Umbingeleli uya kumngxengxezela phambi koNdikhoyo loo mntu wone ngempazamo, aze ke axolelwe. ₂₉Koqhutywa ngaloo ndlela ke nakubani na owone ngokungaqondi, noba ngowomthonyama, okanye umngeneleli.

₃₀“Kambe ke yena umntu owone ngabom, engowomthonyama okanye umngeneleli, woba netyala lokunyelisa uNdikhoyo. Ngoko ke makabulawe, ₃₁kuba akalikhathalelanga ilizwi likaNdikhoyo, waza wawaphula umyalelo wakhe ngabom. Xa kunjalo ke woba uzenzakalise ngokwakhe.”

₃₂Ngamhla uthile amaSirayeli eselapho entlango kwabhaqwa umntu etheza *ngoMhla wokuPhumla. ₃₃Wabanjwa wasiwa kuMosis noAron nebandla liphela. ₃₄Waza wakhe wavalelwa, kuba ingekacaci into emayenziwe ngaye. ₃₅*UNdikhoyo ke wayalela uMosis, wathi: “Makabulawe! Ibandla liphela malimkhuphele ngaphandle komzi, limxulube ngamatye ade afe.” ₃₆Ngoko ke amaSirayeli ephela amkhuphela ngaphandle, amkhanda ngamatye wada wafa ngokomyalelo kaNdikhoyo.

₃₇*UNdikhoyo ke wathi uMosis ₃₈makathethe namaSirayeli, athi: “Nanini na fakani iintshinga kumasondo eempahla zenu. Intshinga nganye ke mayibe nomtya omzuba. ₃₉Ezo ntshinga zoba sisikhumbuzo, nize nithi maxa onke nizibona zitsho nikhumbule imiyalelo kaNdikhoyo niyithobele, khon' ukuze ningahendeki nibhaduliswe ziinkanuko zenu. ₄₀Zona ziya kuhlala zinikhumbuza ukuthobela imiyalelo yam; nize ke ngokwenjenjalo nibe libango lam ncam. ₄₁Mna ndinguNdikhoyo, uThixo wenu, owanikhupha kwelaseJiputa, khon' ukuze ndibe nguThixo wenu. Ngenene mna ndinguNdikhoyo uThixo wenu!”
