Bible Reading Plan – Day 35

₁*UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis ₂makathethe namaSirayeli, athi: “Nantsi imisitho kaNdikhoyo emiselweyo emayaziswe ebantwini njengemibhiyozo yonqulo: ₃Zintandathu iintsuku eningenza ngazo umsebenzi, kodwa ze nikhumbule ukuba umhla wesixhenxe wona ngowokuphumla. Ze ningasebenzi ngaloo mhla, koko ze nihlanganisane ninqule. *UMhla wokuPhumla wona wahlulelwe uNdikhoyo, nditsho nokuba nihlala phi na.”

₄“Nantsi imisitho *kaNdikhoyo emiselweyo, imibhiyozo yonqulo emayipapashwe ebantwini ngamaxesha ayo: ₅*IPasika kaNdikhoyo iqala ukutshona kwelanga ngomhla weshumi elinesine kwinyanga yokuqala. ₆Ngomhla weshumi elinesihlanu kuqala umsitho wezonka ezinganyuswanga. Kufuneka ningatyi isonka esinyuswe ngegwele kude kuphele iintsuku ezisixhenxe. ₇Ngosuku lokuqala kwezi ntsuku zisixhenxe kufuneka niqokelelane nize kunqula, ningakhe nenze msebenzi. ₈Ze nenze iminikelo yomlilo kuNdikhoyo ngezi ntsuku zisixhenxe, niphinde ngosuku lwesixhenxe nibe nombhiyozo wokunqula, ningasebenzi nokusebenza.”

₉*UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis ₁₀makathi kumaSirayeli: “Xa senifikile kwelo zwe ndininika lona, nize ngexesha lokuvuna nizise kumbingeleli intlahlela yezithungu zengqolowa. ₁₁Yena ke woziwanga-wangisa phambi koNdikhoyo, khon' ukuze namkeleke kuye. Loo mnikelo umbingeleli kufuneka awenze ngomhla olandela *uMhla wokuPhumla. ₁₂Ngale mini niwanga-wangisa ngayo isithungu sengqolowa kufuneka nenze nedini elitshiswayo ngexhwane leduna elimnyaka mnye elingenasiphako. ₁₃Kufuneka nenze nomnikelo womgubo wengqolowa oxutywe neoyile yomnquma ube bunzima obuziikhilogram ezimbini. Ivumba lalo mnikelo liyamkholisa uNdikhoyo. Kufuneka ninikele newayini engangelitha enye, ibe ngumnikelo othululwayo. ₁₄Nize ningayityi ingqolowa esand' ukuvunwa, nokuba ikrwada, nokuba igcadiwe, nokuba sisonka esibhakiweyo, de kube lo mnikelo niwenzile. Lo mmiselo maze ugcinwe nazizizukulwana zenu ngalo lonke ixesha.”

₁₅“Ze nibale iiveki zibe sixhenxe ukususela ngalaa mini ilandela *uMhla wokuPhumla ebeniwanga-wangisa phambi *koNdikhoyo ngawo izithungu zengqolowa. ₁₆Kuya kuthi ke ngomhla wamashumi amahlanu, umhla osemva koMhla wokuPhumla wesixhenxe, nizise kuNdikhoyo omnye umnikelo wolibo lwengqolowa. ₁₇Imizi ngemizi kufuneka ize nezonka ezibini zinikelwe kuNdikhoyo, zibe ngumnikelo owanga-wangiswayo. Isonka ngasinye kufuneka senziwe ngomgubo wengqolowa obunzima buziikhilogram ezimbini, sinyuswe ngegwele, size sinikelwe kuNdikhoyo njengolibo lwesivuno sengqolowa. ₁₈Ezi zonka ziya kukhatshwa ngamaxhwane asixhenxe amnyaka mnye akhutshwa ngumzi wakwaSirayeli, kwakunye nenkunzi yenkomo eselula, kunye neebhokhwe ezimbini, kungabikho nanye inesiphako kuzo. Zoba lidini elitshiswayo elihamba kunye neminikelo yengqolowa neyewayini. Ivumba lalo mnikelo liyamkholisa uNdikhoyo. ₁₉Makwenziwe idini lesono ngeduna lebhokhwe, kunye nedini lobudlelane ngamaxhwane amabini angamaduna amnyaka mnye. ₂₀Umbingeleli wosondeza isonka kunye namaxhwane amabini, zibe ngumnikelo owanga-wangiswa kuNdikhoyo. Le yiminikelo eyenzelwa uNdikhoyo ize yahlulelwe ababingeleli. ₂₁Ngale mini nize ningasebenzi, koko ze nipapashe umbhiyozo wonqulo. Lo mmiselo kufuneka ugcinwe nazizizukulwana zenu naphi na apho zihlala khona.

₂₂“Xa nivunayo nize ningafikeleli kumlimandlela, ningakhwahlazi nandawoni na emasimini. Ukukhwahlaza kuyekeleni amahlwempu nabantu basemzini. Kaloku ndinguNdikhoyo uThixo wenu.”

_23-24“Umhla wokuqala wenyanga yesixhenxe mawube ngumhla owodwa eniphumlayo ngawo; kufuneka nibe nombhiyozo wonqulo lakuhlokoma ixilongo. ₂₅Ze nenzele *uNdikhoyo umnikelo ngomlilo, ningaphathi msebenzi konke.”

_26-27“Umhla weshumi kwinyanga yesixhenxe ngumhla wokungxengxezela izono zabantu. Ngaloo mini ze ningatyi nto konke; ze nibe nentlanganiso yonqulo, ninikele umnikelo *kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo. ₂₈Ningakhe nisebenze ngaloo mini; kaloku ngumhla wokucamagushela izono kuNdikhoyo uThixo wenu. ₂₉Umntu oya kuthi atye ngaloo mini uya kusikwa phakathi kwabantu bakaThixo. ₃₀Xa kukho othe wasebenza ngaloo mini mna Ndikhoyo ngokwam ndomcima igama. ₃₁Lo mmiselo maze ugcinwe nazizizukulwana zenu, nditsho naphi na apho zihlala khona. ₃₂Ukususela ukutshona kwelanga ngomhla wesithoba kude kutshone ilanga ngomhla weshumi lo mhla ze niwuthathe njengomhla owodwa wokuphumla, ekungayi kutyiwa nto ngawo konke.”

_33-34“Umsitho wamaphempe uqala ngomhla weshumi elinesihlanu wenyanga yesixhenxe, uqhube kude kuphele iintsuku ezisixhenxe. ₃₅Ngosuku lokuqala lwezi ntsuku nize nibe nombhiyozo wonqulo, ningasebenzi konke. ₃₆Yonke le mihla isixhenxe ze ninikele *kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo, niphinde nibe nombhiyozo wonqulo ngosuku lwesibhozo, nenze nomnikelo ngomlilo. Lo mhla ngumbhiyozo, yaye kufuneka ningasebenzi konke.

( ₃₇“Yiyo ke le imisitho emiselweyo eniya kuthi ngayo nipapashe imibhiyozo yonqulo, nisondeze kuNdikhoyo iminikelo yomlilo, namadini atshiswayo, neminikelo eziinkozo, nayo iminikelo yewayini. Konke oku kuya kuthi kufuneke ngemini nganye. ₃₈Le misitho yongezelelwe *kwiMihla yokuPhumla eqhelekileyo, futhi nale minikelo ixeliweyo yongezelelwe kwiminikelo yenu yesiqhelo, enidla ngokuyenza ngenxa yesithembiso, okanye eniyinikela kuNdikhoyo ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo.)

₃₉“Xa senivunile lo msitho wenzeni iintsuku zibe sixhenxe ukususela kumhla weshumi elinesihlanu wenyanga yesixhenxe. Usuku lokuqala kufuneka lube ngumhla owodwa eniphumla ngawo. ₄₀Ngaloo mini khethani ezona zihle iziqhamo emithini, niphathe amasundu namasebe ahlakahlaka, nize nenzele uThixo uNdikhoyo umbhiyozo. ₄₁Minyaka le ze nibhiyoze iintsuku zibe sixhenxe. Ngummiselo omaze ugcinwe nazizizukulwana zenu. ₄₂Kufuneka onke amaSirayeli ncam ahlale emaphempeni iintsuku zibe sixhenxe, ₄₃khon' ukuze zazi izizukulwana zenu ukuba uNdikhoyo wawahlalisa emaphempeni amaSirayeli ukuwakhupha kwakhe eJiputa. Nguye kaloku uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu.”

₄₄Wenjenjalo ke uMosis ukuxelela amaSirayeli imimiselo yokugcina imisitho kaNdikhoyo.

₁*UNdikhoyo wathi kuMosis: ₂“Gqithisela lo myalelo kumaSirayeli, uthi kufuneka azise ioyile yomnquma ecwengileyo, ize isetyenziswe kwizibane *zesibingelelo ekufuneka zisoloko zivutha. ₃Yonke imihla ukutshona kwelanga kufuneka uAron azikhanyise zivuthe kude kuse phaya phambi komkhusane welona gumbi lingcwele, elo linetyesi enobungqina bomnqophiso. Lo mmiselo kufuneka ugcinwe rhoqo nakwixesha elizayo. ₄UAron kufuneka azinonelele izibane ezikwisiphatho esenziwe ngegolide ecwengileyo, zihlale zivutha qho ngaphambi koNdikhoyo.”

₅“Kufuneka kwenziwe izonka ezilishumi elinambini ngomgubo ocoliweyo wengqolowa obunzima buziikhilogram ezilishumi elinambini. ₆Ezo zonka mazidweliswe ngemiqolo emibini, zibe zithandathu kumqolo ngamnye, zibekwe phezu kwetafile eqatywe ngegolide ecwengileyo emi phambi *koNdikhoyo. ₇Makubekwe iinkozo zesiqhumiso kuludwe ngalunye zibe ngumnikelo wokutya okunikelwa kuNdikhoyo endaweni yezonka. ₈Ezi zonka kufuneka zibekwe phambi koNdikhoyo qho *ngeMihla yokuPhumla. Kufuneka awenze rhoqo amaSirayeli lo mmiselo nakumaxesha azayo. ₉Ezi zonka ziya kuba zezika-Aron noonyana bakhe. Kufuneka bazityele endaweni eyodwa, kuba kaloku sisabelo sababingeleli esithathwe kwiminikelo enikelwa kuNdikhoyo ngomlilo.”

_10-11Kwakukho mfo uthile oyise wayengumJiputa, unina yena engumSirayeli ogama lalinguShelomiti owayeyintombi kaDibri wesizwe sakwaDan. Lo mfo ke waxabana nomSirayeli. Emsindweni wakhe wanyelisa *noNdikhoyo ngesithuko, waza ke wasiwa kuMosis, ₁₂wagcinwa ngabalindi, kwaza kwalindelwa kuNdikhoyo ukuba avakalise ebantwini into emayenziwe ngaloo mfo.

₁₃Wathi uNdikhoyo kuMosis: ₁₄“Yikhuphele ngaphandle komzi laa ndoda, aze wonke ubani oyivileyo inyelisa abeke isandla sakhe entloko yayo. Emva koko ke umnyelisi lo makaxulutywe ngamatye libandla liphela, ade afe. ₁₅Uze ke uwaxelele amaSirayeli, uthi: ‘Nabani na onyelisa uThixo uya kuyaleka, ₁₆kuba uya kubulawa. Wonke ubani onyelisa uNdikhoyo, nokuba ngumSirayeli, nokuba ngumntu wasemzini omi kwaSirayeli, kufuneka axulutywe ngamatye libandla liphela.’

₁₇“Wonke ubani obulala omnye umntu kufuneka abulawe naye. ₁₈Umntu obulele imfuyo yomnye umntu kufuneka ayivuse.

₁₉“Umntu owenzakalisa omnye umntu, nokuba umenza ntoni na, naye uya kwenziwa kwaloo nto. ₂₀Ukuba umaphule ithambo, naye uya kwaphulwa ithambo. Ukuba umtyhaphaze iliso, naye uya kutyhatshazwa iliso. Ukuba umaphule izinyo, nelakhe izinyo lokwaphulwa. Nokuba umenzakalisa njani na omnye umntu, naye uya kwenziwa kwaloo nto ayenze komnye. ₂₁Umntu obulele imfuyo yomnye kufuneka ayivuse. Kodwa umntu obulala omnye umntu kufuneka abulawe naye. ₂₂Le miyalelo iniquka nonke, nditsho umSirayeli nomntu wasemzini ophakathi kwamaSirayeli. Kaloku ndim uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu.”

₂₃Akuba enjenjalo ke uMosis, amaSirayeli amkhuphela ngaphandle komzi umnyelisi lowo, amxuluba ngamatye wada wafa. Enjenjalo ke amaSirayeli ethobela uNdikhoyo ngokomlomo kaMosis.

₁*UNdikhoyo wathetha noMosis entabeni yeSinayi wamyalela ₂ukuba makanike amaSirayeli le mimiselo, athi: “Xa senifikile kwelo lizwe nilinikwa nguNdikhoyo, nomhlaba ngokwawo mawube nethuba lokuphumla ukuhlonela uNdikhoyo. ₃Kwiminyaka emithandathu nohlwayela, nithene imidiliya, nivune nokuvuna. ₄Unyaka wesixhenxe ke wona mayibe ngunyaka wokuphumza umhlaba, unyaka owahlulelwe uNdikhoyo. Ngawo ke nize ningalimi, ningayitheni nemidiliya. ₅Ingqolowa ezikhulelayo ingahlwayelwanga nize ningayivuni, neediliya ezivela ingathenwanga imidiliya ningayivuni. Kaloku lo ngunyaka wokuphumza umhlaba.

₆“Nokuba anilimanga ngaloo nyaka, umhlaba wona wovelisa ukutya okwanele nina, namakhoboka enu, kunye nezicaka zenu, nabantu basemzini abaphakathi kwenu, ₇nemfuyo yenu, kwakunye nezilwanyana zasendle. Kungátyiwa ke konke ukutya okuvelayo.”

₈Ze nibale iminyaka yokuphumza umhlaba ibe sixhenxe – oko kukuthi iminyaka esixhenxe niyiphinda-phinde kasixhenxe. Loo nto yenza amashumi amane anethoba leminyaka. ₉Kuya kuthi ke ngomhla weshumi wenyanga yesixhenxe, uMhla wokuCamagusha, nithume indoda ilityhutyhe lonke, ivuthela ixilongo. ₁₀Niya kuwahlula ngale ndlela ke unyaka wamashumi amahlanu, nivakalise inkululeko kulo lonke ilizwe kubo bonke abemi. Ngalo nyaka umntu ngamnye makabuyele kumhlaba wakowabo nakubantu bakowabo. ₁₁Ze ningahlwayeli emasimini, ningayivuni ingqolowa nediliya ezikhulelayo. ₁₂Lo nyaka wonke mawube ngunyaka owodwa wenkululeko. Nokha nje into ezihlumelayo kuphela.

₁₃“Ngalo nyaka wobuyiselo yonke imihlaba ebithengisiwe kufuneka ibuyiselwe kumniniyo wokuqala. ₁₄Ngoko ke xa nithengisela amanye amaSirayeli umhlaba, okanye nithenga umhlaba wawo, ze nigenzi maqhinga. ₁₅Ngoko ke ixabiso enilibizayo malibalwe lifanelane neminyaka loo mhlaba uza kulinywa ngayo kude kube ngunyaka wobuyiselo ozayo. ₁₆Xa iminyaka eseleyo isemininzi, ixabiso kufuneka linyuke; kodwa ukuba imbalwa, kufuneka lihle ixabiso lawo. Kaloku eyona nto kuthengiswa yona linani lesivuno esinokuphuma kuloo mhlaba. ₁₇UmSirayeli angaze amqhathe uwabo, koko moyikeni *uNdikhoyo uThixo wenu.”

₁₈“Yithobeleni yonke imimiselo nemithetho yam, khon' ukuze nihlale kweli lizwe ningenaxhala. ₁₉Wona umhlaba wovelisa iziqhamo zawo, nitye nihluthe, nihlale kakuhle.

₂₀“Ubani usenokuthi: ‘Kuza kutyiwa ntoni ngalo nyaka wesixhenxe xa kungalinywayo, kungavunwayo nokuvunwa?’ ₂₁Ndowusikelela umhlaba kunyaka wesithandathu, khon' ukuze uvelise ngokwanele iminyaka emithathu. ₂₂Xa nilimayo ngonyaka wesibhozo noba nisatya ukutya ebenikuvune ngonyaka wesithandathu. Yaye noba nokutya okwaneleyo kude kuvunwe izilimo zalowo nyaka.”

₂₃“Umhlaba wenu mawungathengiswa ngokupheleleyo, kuba kaloku awungowenu, ngowam; nina ningabantu basemzini nje abanemvume yokuwusebenzisa.

₂₄“Xa uthengisiwe umhlaba, umniniwo makabe nelungelo lokuphinda awukhulule. ₂₅Xa umSirayeli athe wahlwempuzeka, aze ke anyanzeleke ukuba awuthengise umhlaba wakhe, mawukhululwe sisizalwana sakhe ncam. ₂₆Umntu ongenasizalwana singawukhululayo angawukhulula ngokwakhe ukuba ubuye wahluma. ₂₇Xa kunjalo ke kufuneka ahlawule laa mntu ubewuthengile imali elingene neminyaka eseleyo ngaphambi kokufika konyaka wobuyiselo, aze abuyiselwe umhlaba kwangoko. ₂₈Xa engenamali ngokwaneleyo yokuwukhulula, uba ngowalaa mntu wayewuthengile kude kube ngunyaka wobuyiselo. Kufuneka ke ubuyiselwe kumniniwo ngaloo nyaka, aphinde aye kuhlala kuwo.

₂₉“Xa kukho umntu othengisa ngendlu esesixekweni esibiyelwe ngodonga, loo mntu unalo ilungelo lokuphinda awukhulule loo mzi wakhe kunyaka wokuqala. ₃₀Kodwa ke ukuba akaphindanga awukhulule ngaloo nyaka, ilungelo lakhe liyaphela, uze loo mzi ube ngowalaa mntu wayewuthengile, ube lilifa labantwana bakhe. Nangonyaka wobuyiselo awusokuze wona ubuyiselwe. ₃₁Yona imizi esezidolophaneni ezingabiyelwanga, iyafana nje naleya yomhlaba inkqubo yayo. Umnini-mzi unelungelo lokuphinda awukhulule, yaye kufuneka abuyiselwe ngonyaka wobuyiselo. ₃₂AbaLevi bona banelungelo nanini na lokuphinda bayikhulule imizi yabo esezidolophini zabo. ₃₃Xa kukho indlu ethengiswa ngumLevi edolophini yabo, ize ingakhululwa nguye kwakhona, kufuneka ibuyiselwe kumniniyo ngonyaka wobuyiselo; kaloku izindlu zabaLevi ezidolophini zabo zililifa labo. ₃₄Wona amadlelo angqinge imizi yabaLevi makangaze athengiswe; alilifa labantwana babo.”

₃₅“Xa umSirayeli wakuni omelene nawe ehlwempuzeka, kufuneka umxhase njengoko ufanele ukwenza kumngeneleli noxhwarhileyo, ukuze ahlale emelene nawe. ₃₆Uze ungambizi mdliwo; moyike uThixo wakho, khon' ukuze umSirayeli wakuni amelane nawe. ₃₇Ungamhlawulisi nzala ngemali omboleke yona, ungenzi mdliwo ngokutya omthengisele kona. ₃₈Lo ngumyalelo wam mna *Ndikhoyo uThixo wenu owanikhulula eJiputa, ndaza ndaninika ilizwe laseKanana, ndaba nguThixo wenu.”

₃₉“Xa umSirayeli omelene nawe ehlwempuzeke kangangokude azithengise abe likhoboka lakho, uze ungamsebenzisi okwekhoboka. ₄₀Kufuneka ahlale nawe njengomqeshwa okanye njengoxhwarhileyo, akukhonze de kufike unyaka wobuyiselo. ₄₁Ngelo xesha ke womkhulula abuyele kowabo kunye nentsapho yakhe, aye kumhlaba wooyise. ₄₂AmaSirayeli zizicaka zam wona, ndim owawakhupha eJiputa; akufuneki ke athengiswe abe ngamakhoboka. ₄₃Ze ningawaphathi gadalala; kaloku mhloneleni uThixo wenu. ₄₄Amakhoboka wathengeni kwezinye iintlanga eziningqongileyo. ₄₅Ningabathenga abantu abaxhwarhe phakathi kwenu, ngokunjalo nabezizwe zasemzini abazalelwe kwilizwe lakowenu. Abanjalo ningabathenga, ₄₆nibashiye babe lilifa labantwana benu, babe ngamakhoboka abo bonke ubomi babo. Kodwa amaSirayeli wona ningawaphathi gadalala.

₄₇“Xa kukho umngeneleli okanye umxhwarhi othe wahluma, watyeba, ze umSirayeli abe lihlwempu azithengise kuloo mntu, okanye kwisizalwana sakhe, ₄₈naxa selethengiwe, ilungelo lakhe lokubuya akhululwe ngamawabo usenalo. Usenako ukubuya akhululwe ngumntakwabo, ₄₉okanye uyisekazi, okanye umzala wakhe, nasiphi na isihlobo sakhe. Ukanti naye xa athe waphinda wahluma angazikhulula. ₅₀Kufuneka adibane nalowo umthengileyo, baze babale iminyaka ukususela ekuzithengiseni kwakhe kude kube ngunyaka wobuyiselo, baze bagqibe ngexabiso elingangemali ehlawulwa umqeshwa yonke loo minyaka. _51-52Ukuzikhulula kufuneka abuyise icandelo lexabiso awayethengwe ngalo lilingane neminyaka esaseleyo. Ukuba iminyaka eshiyekileyo ukuya kunyaka wobuyiselo mininzi, kufuneka intlawulelo inyuke, ize xa imbalwa ihle. ₅₃Kaloku makuthathwe ngathi yena ebengumqeshwa ohlawulwa ngonyaka. Nto nje inkosi yakhe mayingamphathi gadalala. ₅₄Ukuba akahlawulelwanga okanye azihlawulele, kufuneka yena nabantwana bakhe bakhululwe kunyaka wobuyiselo. ₅₅UmSirayeli akanakusoloko elikhoboka. Kaloku amaSirayeli zizicaka zam. Ndim owawakhupha eJiputa, mna Ndikhoyo uThixo wenu.”
