Bible Reading Plan – Day 25

₁₇*UNdikhoyo wathetha noMosis wathi: ₁₈“Yenza isitya sokuhlambela ngobhedu, usihlalise phezu kwesiseko sobhedu. Masime phakathi kwegumbi elingcwele neqonga lamadini, usigalele amanzi. ₁₉UAron noonyana bakhe baya kuhlamba izandla neenyawo kuloo manzi ₂₀xa bangenayo egumbini elingcwele okanye besiya kwenza idini elitshiswayo kwiqonga lamadini, ukuze bangafi. ₂₁Ewe, mabahlambe izandla neenyawo ukuze bangafi. Lo ke ngummiselo amabawuthobele bona nezizukulwana zabo.”

₂₂*UNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis wathi: ₂₃“Thatha obona bulawu bodidi: iikhilogram ezintandathu zemore engamanzi, iikhilogram ezintathu zesinamon evumba limnandi, iikhilogram ezintathu zezele elivumba limnandi, neekhilogram ezintandathu ₂₄zekasiya; zonke mazilinganiswe ngokomlinganiselo ovunyiweyo. Xa zizonke ke zidibanise neelitha ezine zamafutha omnquma, ₂₅wenze isiqholo esingamafutha anyulu avumba limnandi, axutywe lichule. ₂₆Ngawo ke thambisa intente *yesibingelelo, ityesi enobungqina bomnqophiso, ₂₇itafile namasolotya ayo, isibane nobuxhaka-xhaka baso, iqonga lesiqhumiso, ₂₈iqonga lamadini nokwalo, kunye nesitya sokuhlambela nesiseko saso. ₂₉Wakuba uzihlambulule ngolu hlobo ke ezi zinto ziya kuba nyulu ngokupheleleyo, ngokunjalo ke nantoni na ezichukumisayo iya kuba nyulu. ₃₀Thambisa uAron noonyana bakhe, ubamisele babe ngababingeleli bam. ₃₁Waxelele amaSirayeli ukuba la mafutha ngawam kuphela kude kube zizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. ₃₂Umntu nje ongomnye angàze athanjiswe ngawo. Kwaye futhi ungàze uthathe le migqalisela axutywe ngayo wenze amafutha nje. Kaloku anyulu; ngoko ke wahloniphe. ₃₃Nabani na owenza amafutha afana nawo, okanye osebenzisa la mafutha mntwini wumbi ungengombingeleli, uya kusikwa phakathi kwabantu bam.”

₃₄*UNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis wathi: “Thatha umlinganiselo ofanayo wezi ntlobo zobulawu: isitakate, ionirha, igalbhano, nentlaka yokuqhumisa yoqobo. ₃₅Yenza ngazo umxube wesiqhumiso esivumba liyolileyo. Sithi saa ityiwa, sihlambuluke sibe nyulu. ₃₆Thatha inxalenye yaso, uyicole ibe ngumgubo, ungene nayo *esibingelelweni, uyibeke phambi kwetyesi yomnqophiso apho ndiya kuhlangana khona nawe. Esi siqhumiso masihlonipheke; sinyulu. ₃₇Ningaze nithathe imigqaliselo yalo mxube waso nizenzele esenu. Siphatheni ngentlonipho, sibe sesam ndedwa. ₃₈Nabani na ozenzele isiqhumiso esifana naso, okanye osebenzisa esi njengesiqholo, uya kusikwa phakathi kwabantu bam.”

₁*UNdikhoyo waxelela uMosis wathi: ₂“Uyabona ke, uBhezaleli unyana kaUri umzukulwana kaYuri wendlu kaJuda, ndimnyule. ₃Ndimzalise ngoMoya wam, ndamthi jize ngokuqonda, ubuchule, nabo bonke ubugcisa; ₄ukucwangcisa nokuyila esebenza ngegolide, isiliva, nobhedu; ₅ukukrola nokuqingqa amatye, nokuchwela, nawo wonke umsebenzi wobugcisa. ₆Kanti ke noHoliyabhi, unyana ka-Ahisamaki wendlu kaDan, ndimtyumbile ukuba ancedisane noBhezaleli. Naye ke ngokunjalo bonke ubuchule nobugcisa ndimphile, khon' ukuze babe nako ukuyenza yonke into endiyalela ukuba yenziwe: ₇*isibingelelo, ityesi yomnqophiso nesivalo sayo, nezixhobo nako konke okuhamba nesibingelelo; ₈itafile namasolotya ayo, isibane esenziwe ngegolide yoqobo nokwaso, iqonga lesiqhumiso, ₉iqonga lamadini atshiswayo nezixhobo zalo, isitya sokuhlambela nesiseko saso; ₁₀ezo zivatho zingayiwayo zobubingeleli zika-Aron noonyana bakhe, abaya kuzisebenzisa xa befezekisa umsebenzi endibanike wona; ₁₁amafutha okuthambisa, neso siqhumiso sivumba limnandi segumbi elingcwele. Zonke ke ezi zinto mabazenze matwa nendlela endikuyalele ngayo.”

₁₂*UNdikhoyo wathi uMosis ₁₃makayalele amaSirayeli athi: “Wuhloneleni *uMhla wokuPhumla, uyimini yam; ewe, ungumqondiso phakathi kwam nani kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana, uxela ukuba mna Ndikhoyo ndanenza naba ngabam ncakasana. ₁₄Ngoko ke wuhloneleni uMhla wokuPhumla, kuba kuni ungumhla owodwa. Umntu ongawuhloneliyo, koko osebenzayo ngawo, makabulawe. ₁₅Kaloku zikho iintsuku ezintandathu ukuba nenze wonke umsebenzi wenu, kodwa ke wona umhla wesixhenxe ngumhla onendili wokuphumla olibango lam. Nabani na ke owenza umsebenzi wakhe ngawo makabulawe. ₁₆AmaSirayeli makaluhlonele olu suku, lube ngumqondiso ngokomnqophiso kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. ₁₇Lona lungumqondiso ongasoze ujike phakathi kwam namaSirayeli. Kaloku mna Ndikhoyo ndênza izulu nehlabathi liphela ngeentsuku ezintandathu, ndaza ke ndaphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe.”

₁₈Akukhov' ukuthetha uThixo noMosis entabeni yeSinayi, wamnikezela amacwecwe amatye amabini, apho uThixo ngenkqu wayeyibhale khona imimiselo.

₁AmaSirayeli akubona ukuba uMosis akabuyi entabeni, asuka amgungela uAron, athi: “Senzele *uthixo oza kusikhokela. Okokwakhe yena laa Mosis wasikhupha eJiputa, asiyazi into emhleleyo.”

₂UAron wayalela ukuba bathathe amacici ebafazini, koonyana, nasezintombini zabo, beze nawo kuye. ₃Bawakhulula ke amacici lawo, beza nawo kuAron. ₄Wawathatha ke, wawanyibilikisa, waza igolide leyo enziwe ngayo wayibumba ngezixhobo zokubumba, wenza inkunzana yenkomo ngayo. AmaSirayeli ke athi: “Sirayeli, nanku uThixo wakho owakukhupha eJiputa!”

₅Akuyibona le nto uAron wakha iqonga lamadini apho phambi kwaloo nkunzana yenkomo, waza wenza isaziso esithi: “Ngomso kobhiyozelwa uNdikhoyo.” ₆Kwangentseni ngomhla olandelayo benza amadini atshiswayo kwanatyiwayo. Ke kaloku abo bantu batya, basela, bahakaza, bada barheletya.

₇*UNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis wathi: “Khawuleza uhle! Aba bantu bakho wabakhupha eJiputa babhatyazile; ₈sebekhawuleze bawushiya umyalelo endabanika wona. Ngoku bazibumbele inkunzana yenkomo, bayinqula; futhi banikela amadini kuyo. Bathi: ‘MaSirayeli, lo nguThixo wethu owasikhupha eJiputa.’ ” ₉UNdikhoyo waqhuba wathi: “Ngoku ndiyabaqonda aba bantu inkani yabo – nqwa neyesele! ₁₀Ngoko ke wena ndiyeke, kuba ndiza kubacim' igama, wena ndikwenze ube sisizwe esikhulu.”

₁₁Kambe ke uMosis watarhuzisa kuNdikhoyo uThixo wakhe, wathi: “Awu, *Mhlekazi, ungathini kaloku ukusuka ulwe kanjalo nabantu bakho owabahlangula wabakhulula ngobungaka bona ubungangamsha kwelaseJiputa? ₁₂Xa kunjalo amaJiputa angatsho ngakhona athi: ‘UThixo wamaSirayeli wawakhupha eJiputa eneenjongo zokuwatshabalalisela ezintabeni, awatshayele angabikho ehlabathini.’ Awu, ndiyakubongoza, Mhlekazi, lala ngenxeba, uxole, ungabi sabahlisela le ntlekele abantu bakho. ₁₃Khawukhumbule izicaka zakho, uAbraham, uIsake, noSirayeli. Kaloku wazifunga kwawena siqu, usithi: ‘Inzala yenu ndiya kuyandisa, ibe ninzi njengeenkwenkwezi ezisesibhaka-bhakeni. Eli lizwe ndinithembise ngalo liya kuba lilifa lezizukulwana zenu ngonaphakade.’ ” ₁₄Ngenene ke *uNdikhoyo wabuya nganeno kuloo ntlekele wayethe uza kubahlisela yona abantu bakhe.

₁₅UMosis ke wehla apho entabeni, ewaphethe loo macwecwe mabini amatye abhalwe ubungqina bomnqophiso macal' omabini. ₁₆La macwecwe ke ayengumsebenzi kaThixo ncakasana, nombhalo lowo wawukrolwe nguye ngenkqu.

₁₇Akuyiva ingxolo yabantu bekhwaza, uYoshuwa wabhekisa kuMosis wathi: “Ndiva intsholo esikhululweni ngathi lifile.”

₁₈UMosis waphendula wathi: “Kum le ntsholo ingathi asiyiyo eyoloyiso, okanye ukoyiswa; ivakala ngathi yeyeziyolo nje.”

₁₉Uthe ke uMosis akuba kufuphi, ebone loo nkunzi yenkomo, ngokunjalo nabantu beduda bexhentsa, suka wasisifu ngumsindo. Apho kanye phantsi kwentaba wasuka wawalahla phantsi loo macwecwe wayewaphethe, aphuka. ₂₀Wayithatha loo nkunzi babeyibumbile, wayiphosa emlilweni, waza wayicola yangumgubo, wawugalela emanzini aselwa ngamaSirayeli. ₂₁UMosis wabuza kuAron wathi: “Aba bantu bakwenze ntoni na ukuze ubafake kwesinje sona isono?”

₂₂UAron waphendula wathi: “Ungakhathazeki, mntakwethu; kaloku nawe uyabazi aba bantu ukuba baqinel' enyaleni ngesono. ₂₃Basuka bathi kum: ‘Senzele uThixo oza kusikhokela, kuba asiyazi into emhleleyo laa Mosis osikhuphe eJiputa.’ ₂₄Ndithe ke kubo: ‘Ndinikeni izinto zegolide eninazo,’ baza ke benjenjalo. Ndasuka ke ndaziphosa emlilweni, kwee gqi le nkunzi.”

₂₅UMosis ke waqonda ukuba uAron uvule zabhuqa, baza abantu benza unothanda, bazenza intlekisa nasezintshabeni. ₂₆Ngoko ke wasuka wema esangweni, wathi: “Bonke *abangakuNdikhoyo mabaphume ngapha!” Ke kaloku kwaphuma yonke indlu kaLevi, ₂₇waza wathi kubo: “Utsho uNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli ukuthi: ‘Umntu ngamnye kuni makathathe ikrele, aqale kweli sango, aye kuphuma kweliya lingaphaya, ebinza elalis' ugodo, kumtakwabo, isihlobo, ngokunjalo nommelwane wakhe.’ ” ₂₈AbaLevi abo ke benza ngokwaloo myalelo, baza ke babulala amawaka amathathu amadoda ngaloo mini.

₂₉UMosis ke wathi kubaLevi: “Niyabona ke, namhlanje, ngokubulala abantakwenu noonyana benu, niye naba ngababingeleli bokubusa uNdikhoyo. Ngoko ke uNdikhoyo unithamsanqele.”

₃₀Ngengomso ke uMosis wathi ebantwini: “Nenze isono esilumezayo. Naxa kunjalo ndiza kuphinda ndiye entabeni kuNdikhoyo, ukuze ndenze isingxengxezo ngenxa yesono senu.”

₃₁UMosis waya kuNdikhoyo, wafika wathi: “Aba bantu benze isono esilumezayo. Basuke bazibumbela isithixo ngegolide, basinqula. ₃₂Ngoku ke ndiyakubongoza, baxolele; ukuba akunakuba njalo wosewulicima igama lam encwadini yakho oyibhalileyo.”

₃₃UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis: “Abantu abamagama ndiwacimayo encwadini yam, ngabo bandonileyo bodwa. ₃₄Ngoko ke hamba, ukhokele aba bantu, ubase kulaa ndawo ndandithethe ngayo kuwe. Ke sona isithunywa sam siya kukukhokela. Kambe ke lakufika ixesha ndiya kubohlwaya aba bantu ngenxa yesi sono.”

₃₅Ke kaloku uNdikhoyo wawabetha ngobhubhani wesifo amaSirayeli ngenxa yokuba amnyanzelayo uAron ukuba awenzele inkunzi yenkomo yegolide.

₁*UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis: “Hamba apha, wena nabo bonke abantu owabakhokelayo waphuma nabo eJiputa, usingise kwilizwe endabathembisa lona ngesifungo uAbraham, uIsake, noYakobi, ndisithi: ‘Loba lelezizukulwana zenu.’ ₂Ndiya kuthumela isithunywa sinikhaphe, siwagxothe amaKanana, ama-Amori, amaHiti, amaPerezi, amaHivi, namaJebhusi. ₃Hambani niye kwelo lizwe lendyebo nentlutha. Kambe ke mna andizukuhamba nani, hleze ndisuke ndinitshabalalise ningekafiki, kuba niluhlanga oluneenkani.”

₄Athe ke amaSirayeli akuziva ezi ndaba zibuhlungu, asuka azila, azikhulula iintsimbi awayehomba ngazo. ₅Kaloku uNdikhoyo wayethe kuMosis: “Xelela amaSirayeli: ‘Niluhlanga oluneenkani, ngoko ke andizukuhamba nani, kuba xa bendinokuhamba nani nomzuzwana lo, bendiya kusuka ndinitshabalalise. Zikhululeni iintsimbi zesihombiso; ndisaza kuyibona into endiza kunenza yona.’ ” ₆Ngoko ke amaSirayeli azikhulula iintsimbi nezinye izihombiso zawo ukunduluka kwawo kwintaba iHorebhe.

₇Ke kaloku kolu hambo lwawo amaSirayeli ayesithi apho emise khona, uMosis agxumeke iintente, emise enye intente mganyana nje nendawo leyo bahlala kuyo. Le ke yayiyintente yokuhlangana; nabani na owayefuna ukuva *kuNdikhoyo wayesiya kuyo. ₈Wayesithi uMosis xa esiya ententeni yokuhlangana amaSirayeli wona eme emnyango ezintenteni zawo, ambukele ade aye kungena. ₉Wayesithi nje ukuba angene uMosis, umqulu welifu uhle ufike uhlale emnyango ententeni apho, aze ke yena uNdikhoyo athethe noMosis. ₁₀AmaSirayeli ayesithi akuwubona umqulu welifu usemnyango apho ententeni yokuhlangana, asuke ee guqaqa anqule. ₁₁Ke yena uNdikhoyo wayeye athethe noMosis ubuso ngobuso, njengaye nabani na othetha nomhlobo wakhe. UMosis ke wayesithi akugqiba agoduke, kodwa yena uYoshuwa umfana olihlakani lakhe, unyana kaNune, wayesala apho ententeni yokuhlangana.

₁₂UMosis wathetha *noNdikhoyo, wathi: “Kaloku undiyalele ukuba ndikhokele aba bantu, ndibase kwelo lizwe, kodwa akutshongo ukuba kolu hambo ndokhatshwa ngubani na. Ewe, utshilo nokuthi: ‘Ndikwazi ngokupheleleyo; kwaye futhi ndikholisekile nguwe.’ ₁₃Ngoko ke, xa kunjalo, ndazise intando yakho, ukuze ndikwazi, ndihlale ndikholisekile kuwe. Kwakhona khumbula ukuba olu hlanga ngabantu bakho ncakasana.”

₁₄UNdikhoyo waphendula wathi: “Hayi kaloku, ndiza kuhamba nani ngenkqu, ndinithi jize ngokuphumla.”

₁₅Ke yena uMosis waleka ngelithi: “Ukuba akuhambi nathi, sukuba sasindulula simke apha. ₁₆Xa ungahambi nathi kuya kwaziwa njani ukuba ukholisekile ndim naba bantu? Kanti ke xa ukho phakathi kwethu, siya kutsho sahluke kulo lonke uluntu.”

₁₇UNdikhoyo wathi: “Ndiza kwenza kanye ngokwesicelo sakho, kuba kaloku ndikholisekile nguwe, futhi ke ndikwazi kakuhle.”

₁₈UMosis waphinda wenza isicelo, wathi kuNdikhoyo: “Ke ngoku khawundivelele ngobuqaqawuli bakho.”

₁₉UNdikhoyo wathi: “Ndiza kukubonisa isidima sam njengoko sinjalo, futhi ndilikhankanye igama lam ezindlebeni zakho, mna Ndikhoyo. Kaloku ndiya kuba nenceba kwabo ndinenceba kubo, ndibe novelwano kwabo ndinovelwano kubo. ₂₀Andizukukubonisa ubuso bam; kaloku akukho mntu unokububona aphinde aphile. ₂₁Kambe ke nantsi indawo ecaleni kwam apho ungema khona phezu kweliwa. ₂₂Ndiya kuthi ke xa ndidlula khona ngobuqaqawuli bam, ndikufihle emfanteni yeliwa, ndize ndikugqume ngesandla ndide ndidlule. ₂₃Ndakuba ndidlule ke, ndiya kusisusa isandla, ukuze ube nokundibona ndifulathele, hayi ebusweni.”
