Bible Reading Plan – Day 46

₁₂“Ngomhla weshumi elinesihlanu kwinyanga yesixhenxe makube yintlanganiso eyodwa yokunqula, ningawuphathi umsebenzi. Yenzelani *uNdikhoyo itheko iintsuku zibe sixhenxe. ₁₃Ngalo mhla wokuqala yenzelani uNdikhoyo idini lomlilo elivumba limnandi kuye: ishumi elinesithathu leenkunzi zeenkomo eziselula, iinkunzi zeegusha zibe mbini, neshumi elinesine lamaxhwane angamaduna, angenasiphako onke. ₁₄Yenzani umnikelo weenkozo ngomgubo wengqolowa oxutywe namafutha omnquma: iikhilogram ezintathu zomgubo zihambe nenkunzi yenkomo nganye, iikhilogram ezimbini zihambe nenkunzi yegusha nganye, ₁₅ize ikhilogram yomgubo ihambe nexhwane ngalinye ngokunjalo neminikelo ethululwayo. ₁₆Makwenziwe nedini lesono ngebhokhwe eliduna. Onke ke la madini ongeza idini elitshiswayo lemihla ngemihla elihamba nomnikelo weenkozo nothululwayo.

₁₇“Ngosuku lwesibini makwenziwe amadini ngeenkunzi zeenkomo eziselula zibe lishumi elinambini, iinkunzi zeegusha zibe mbini, neshumi elinesine lamaxhwane angamaduna, angenasiphako onke. _18-19La madini ke ohamba nalawo ayimfuneko ndawonye neminikelo kusuku lokuqala.

₂₀“Ngosuku lwesithathu makunikelwe ishumi elinanye leenkunzi zeenkomo eziselula, isibini seenkunzi zeegusha, neshumi elinesine lamaxhwane angamaduna, angenasiphako onke. _21-22Ngokunjalo ke ohamba naloo madini ayimfuneko ndawonye neminikelo kusuku lokuqala.

₂₃“Ngosuku lwesine makunikelwe ishumi leenkunzi zeenkomo eziselula, isibini seenkunzi zeegusha, neshumi elinesine lamaxhwane angamaduna, angenasiphako onke. _24-25Ngokunjalo ke makahambe naloo madini ayimfuneko ndawonye neminikelo kusuku lokuqala.

₂₆“Ngosuku lwesihlanu makunikelwe iinkunzi zeenkomo eziselula zibe lithoba, iinkunzi zeegusha zibe mbini, neshumi elinesine lamaxhwane angamaduna, angenasiphako onke. _27-28Ndawonye nawo ke makwenziwe nalaa madini kwaneminikelo eyimfuneko kusuku lokuqala.

₂₉“Ngosuku lwesithandathu makunikelwe isibhozo seenkunzi zeenkomo eziselula, iinkunzi zeegusha zibe mbini, namaxhwane angamaduna alishumi elinesine, angenasiphako onke. _30-31Lawo ayimfuneko ndawonye neminikelo kusuku lokuqala nawo makangasileli.

₃₂“Ngosuku lwesixhenxe konikelwa isixhenxe seenkunzi zeenkomo eziselula, neenkunzi zeegusha ezimbini, ndawonye neshumi elinesine lamaxhwane angamaduna, angenasiphako onke. _33-34Ngokunjalo ke makwenziwe naloo madini ayimfuneko ndawonye neminikelo kusuku lokuqala.

₃₅“Ngosuku lwesibhozo makube yintlanganiso eyodwa yokunqula, ningasebenzi. ₃₆Makwenziwe idini elitshiswayo libe lidini lomlilo elimkholisayo uNdikhoyo: inkunzi yenkomo eselula, inkunzi yegusha, nesixhenxe samaxhwane angamaduna, angenasiphako onke. _37-38Ngokunjalo ke namadini ayimfuneko ndawonye neminikelo ngosuku lokuqala makangasileli.

₃₉“Le ke yimimiselo mayela namadini atshiswayo, neminikelo yeenkozo nethululwayo, neyobudlelwane, ekufuneka niyenzele uNdikhoyo ngokusesikweni ngamaxesha ayo. La madini neminikelo ongeza kumadini ezithembiso okanye awokuqhutywa yintliziyo.”

₄₀Ngenene ke uMosis wawaxelela amaSirayeli konke awayekuyalelwe nguNdikhoyo.

₁Iinkulu zezindlu zikaSirayeli uMosis wazinika le mimiselo *kaNdikhoyo ilandelayo, wathi: ₂“Indoda xa ithe yenza isibhambathiso kuNdikhoyo, okanye xa ithe yenza isifungo sokuzibophelela, mayingasaphuli eso sifungo, koko mayikufezekise konke ekuthembisileyo.

₃“Ukuba intombi engekendi ithembisa ukunika uNdikhoyo into, okanye yafungela ukuzila into ethile, ₄mayenze ngokwesifungo nesithembiso sayo, ngaphandle kokuba uyise uthe akuyiva loo nto, wayichasa. ₅Kodwa ke xa athe akuva ngale nyewe uyise, wala ukuba isifezekise eso sithembiso, ayisabophelelekanga kuso. UNdikhoyo uya kuyixolela, kuba yalelwe nguyise ukuba mayisifezekise.

₆“Kambe ukuba intombi yenze isithembiso, iqonda okanye ingaqondi, mhlawumbi yafungela ukuzila into ethile, yaza ke kamva yenda, ₇ke yena wathi akusiva umyeni wayo akathetha nto, isifungo eso okanye isithembiso sohlala siyibophile. ₈Kodwa ke ukuba ithe yakuva ngesi sifungo indoda yayo yasichasa eso sifungo okanye isithembiso, siya kuba sitshitshile; futhi ke xa kunjalo noNdikhoyo uya kuyixolela.

₉“Ke yena umhlolokazi okanye umfazi owahlukene nendoda yakhe, xa ethe wenza isithembiso okanye isifungo, uya kunyanzeleka ukuba asifezekise.

₁₀“Ke ukuba umfazi owendileyo wenze isithembiso okanye isifungo, ₁₁yaza yathi yakuyiva loo nto indoda yakhe ayathetha nto, ayasichasa eso sithembiso okanye isifungo, uya kunyanzeleka ukuba asifezekise. ₁₂Kambe ke ukuba ithe yakusiva eso sifungo indoda yakhe yasichasa, soba sitshitshisiwe eso sithembiso okanye isifungo, kuba kaloku indoda yakhe imalele ukuba asifezekise; ngoko ke noNdikhoyo uya kumxolela. ₁₃Indoda inelungelo lokusixhasa okanye isichithe isithembiso nokuba sisifungo esenziwe ngumfazi wayo. ₁₄Ukuba ke indoda leyo ithe yakuva ngeso sifungo yathatha ithuba ingathethi nto, yoba iyasixhasa eso sithembiso okanye isifungo azibophe ngaso umfazi wayo; ewe, yoba isixhasile xa ingathethanga nto yakuba ivile ngaso. ₁₅Phofu ke ukuba ithule yathula yajika ngengomso yasitshitshisa eso sifungo, ityala lokungafezekiswa kwaso loba semagxeni ayo.”

₁₆Nantso ke imimiselo eyanikwa uMosis nguNdikhoyo mayela nendoda nomfazi wayo, ngokunjalo mayela nentombi ekowayo.

₁*UNdikhoyo wathetha noMosis, wathi: ₂“Phambi kokuba ungabikho amaSirayeli makaziphindezele kumaMidiyani ngenxa yento awayenzayo.”

₃Ngoko ke uMosis wayalela amaSirayeli, wathi: “Xhobisani amadoda omkhosi ukuze ahlasele amaMidiyani, aphindezele ngenxa kaNdikhoyo. ₄Indlu nganye mayikhuphe iwaka lamadoda.”

₅Indlu nganye ke yakhetha yakhupha iwaka lamadoda, aza ke ewonke alishumi elinambini lamawaka alibophe aligangatha. ₆UMosis ke wawukhupha lo mkhosi, uhamba nombingeleli uPineyasi unyana kaElazare. Yena waya edabini ephethe izitya ezingcwele namaxilongo okuhlaba umkhosi. ₇Ngokomlomo kaNdikhoyo ke bawahlasela amaMidiyani, bawatshabalalisa onke amadoda, ₈kunye neekumkani ezintlanu zamaMidiyani: uEvi, uRekem, uZure, uYuri, noRebha. Bambulala noBhalam unyana kaBhehore.

₉AmaSirayeli athimba abafazi bamaMidiyani nabantwana bawo, ayithatha yonke imfuyo yawo, azenzela nakubutyebi bawo. ₁₀Ke zona iidolophu nemizana azitshisa ngomlilo zonke.

₁₁Amabanjwa nemfuyo nako konke ababekuthimbile bakuthatha ₁₂bakusa kuMosis noElazare noSirayeli ephela. Bona ke babemise kumathafa aseMowabhi phesheya kweJordan malunga neJeriko.

₁₃UMosis, noElazare, neenkulu zezindlu zamaSirayeli, baphuma baya kuhlangabeza umkhosi. ₁₄UMosis wakhathazeka sisenzo sabaphathi neengqwayi-ngqwayi zamabutho namaqela awayevela emfazweni. ₁₅Wabuza wathi: “Ngani ukuba ningababulali aba bafazi? ₁₆Senilibele ngoku ukuba yayingabafazi abâlandela icebo likaBhalam, baza bawawexula amaSirayeli, amvukela *uNdikhoyo ePehore? Kaloku nantso into eyehlisela abantu bakaNdikhoyo ngobhubhani. ₁₇Ngoko ke wabulaleni onke amakhwenkwe ngokunjalo nabafazi. ₁₈Ke wona amantombazana kunye neentombi zigcineleni. ₁₉Bonke ke kuni ababuleleyo nabathe bachukumisa izidumbu mabahlale ngaphandle komzi iintsuki zibe sixhenxe. Ngosuku lwesithathu nolwesixhenxe zihlambululeni ndawonye nâbo nibathimbileyo. ₂₀Ngokunjalo ke hlambululani yonke into eyeyokunxiba, nayo yonke into eyenziwe ngofele, uboya bebhokhwe, okanye umthi.”

₂₁Umbingeleli uElazare wathetha naloo madoda awayevela emfazweni, wathi: “Nantsi imimiselo enikelwe uMosis nguNdikhoyo. _22-23Uthe yonke into engatshiyo enjengegolide, isiliva, ubhedu, intsimbi, inkcenkce, okanye ilothe, mayihlanjululwe ngokufakwa emlilweni, ize ifakwe emanzini okuhlambulula. Izinto ezizezinye ke zona zohlanjululwa ngamanzi okuhlambulula kuphela. ₂₄Ngosuku lwesixhenxe ke kofuneka nizihlambe iimpahla zenu; xa kunjalo ke noba nihlambulukile ngokusesikweni, nibe nako nokungena emzini.”

₂₅*UNdikhoyo wayalela uMosis, wathi: ₂₆“Thatha uElazare neenkulu zezindlu zamaSirayeli, nibale yonke into eniyithimbileyo kunye namabanjwa nemfuyo. ₂₇Onke amaxhoba lawo wahluleni kubini ngokulinganayo. Esinye isahlulo soba sesamajoni, esinye ke sibe sesebandla lonke. ₂₈Kwisahlulo samajoni thathani umrhumo kaNdikhoyo; wona ke woba libanjwa elinye kwangamakhulu amahlanu. Nosebenzisa kwaloo mlinganiselo ke nakwimfuyo. ₂₉Ezi zinto ke nozinika umbingeleli uElazare, zingumrhumo owodwa kaNdikhoyo. ₃₀Ke kwisahlulo samaSirayeli thathani libe linye kumabanjwa angamashumi amahlanu, niqhube kwangaloo mlinganiselo ke nakwimfuyo. Ezi zinto ke zona zinikeni abaLevi abo balusa *isibingelelo.” ₃₁UMosis noElazare ke bazenza zonke ezi zinto ngokwelizwi likaNdikhoyo.

₃₂Nalu ke uludwe lwamaxhoba awathinjwa ngumkhosi xa ewonke: amakhulu amathandathu namashumi asixhenxe anantlanu amawaka eegusha neebhokhwe; ₃₃amashumi asixhenxe anambini amawaka eenkomo; ₃₄amashumi amathandathu ananye amawaka eedonki; ₃₅namashumi amathathu anambini amawaka amantombazana kunye neentombi. ₃₆Ke isahlulo samajoni saba ngamakhulu amathathu namashumi amathathu anesixhenxe samawaka namakhulu amahlanu eegusha neebhokhwe; ₃₇waza ke umrhumo kaNdikhoyo wangamakhulu amathandathu anamashumi asixhenxe anantlanu. ₃₈Zona iinkomo zangamashumi amathathu anesithandathu amawaka; aza ke amashumi asixhenxe anambini aba ngumrhumo kaNdikhoyo. ₃₉Iidonki ke zona zazingamashumi amathathu amawaka namakhulu amahlanu; waza ke wona umrhumo kaNdikhoyo waba ngamashumi amathandathu ananye. ₄₀Iintombi namantombazana zaba lishumi elinesithandathu lamawaka; umrhumo kaNdikhoyo ke waba ngamashumi amathathu anambini. ₄₁Ngokomlomo kaNdikhoyo ke uMosis wawugqithisela kuElazare loo mrhumo uwodwa kaNdikhoyo.

₄₂Ke isahlulo samaSirayeli sasifana, silingana neso samajoni: ₄₃amakhulu amathathu anamashumi amathathu anesixhenxe amawaka, namakhulu amahlanu eegusha neebhokhwe; ₄₄amashumi amathathu anesithandathu amawaka eenkomo; ₄₅amashumi amathathu amawaka namakhulu amahlanu eedonki; ₄₆kunye neshumi elinesithandathu lamawaka eentombi namantombazana. ₄₇Kwesi sahlulo ke uMosis wathatha lalinye kumashumi amahlanu amabanjwa, ngokunjalo nakwimfuyo, wanika abaLevi ababesalusa isibingelelo ngokwelizwi likaNdikhoyo.

₄₈Ke kaloku abaphathi neengqwayi-ngqwayi zamabutho namaqela omkhosi baya kuxelela uMosis, ₄₉bathi: “Mhlekazi, siwabalile amajoni ebesiphume nawo; akukho nalinye elingekhoyo. ₅₀Nanku umnikelo ke ophuma kwizinto zegolide esizifumeneyo sonke ngabanye: imixhaka, iibhengile, imisesane, amacici, namaso. Sizinikela ukuba zibe sisicamagushelo sobomi bethu kuNdikhoyo.” ₅₁Ke uMosis noElazare bayamkela loo golide; yonke ke yayizizihombiso. ₅₂Uwonke ke loo mrhumo wabaphathi waba kwisituba samakhulu amabini eekhilogram ubunzima. ₅₃Ke ijoni ngalinye lazithathela amaxhoba. ₅₄Ngoko ke uMosis noElazare bayithatha igolide leyo, bayisa esibingelelweni, khon' ukuze ibe sisikhumbuzo samaSirayeli kuNdikhoyo.

₁Ke kaloku amaRubhen namaGadi ayenemihlambi emikhulu yeenkomo. Athe ke akuwuqonda umhlaba waseJazere naseGiliyadi ukuba uyifanele imfuyo, ₂aya kuMosis nombingeleli uElazare kunye nezinye iinkokheli, acela athi: _3-4“Lo mhlaba amaSirayeli awuphiwe *nguNdikhoyo – sitsho ezi dolophu: iAtaroti, iDibhon, iJazere, iNimra, iHeshbhon, iElale, iSebham, iNebho, neBheyoni – ungumhlaba olungele iinkomo, ibe ke nathi sineenkomo ezininzi. ₅Ngoko ke kunganjani xa lo mhlaba unikwa thina, ube sisabelo sethu, sime apha kuwo, singabi sayiwela iJordan? Siyakubongoza.”

₆UMosis waphendula wathi: “Ngaba ke nina nifuna ukuhlala apha nisonge izandla xa wona amawenu esiya emfazweni? ₇Ningathini kaloku ukusuka niwatyhafise ngolo hlobo amaSirayeli, xa wona ewela iJordan, esiya kuthatha umhlaba awuphiwe nguNdikhoyo? ₈Ooyihlo benza kwale nto ngokuya ndandibathuma siseKadeshe-bhaneya ukuba beze kuhlola lo mhlaba. ₉Bahamba baya kuma ngentili ye-Eshkoli, bawubona lo mhlaba, kodwa bathi bakubuya bawatyhafisa amaSirayeli, khon' ukuze angezi kweli lizwe aliphiweyo nguNdikhoyo. ₁₀Ke yena uNdikhoyo wakhathazeka, waza wafunga wathi: ₁₁‘Ngenxa yokuba bengakholosanga ngam, kula madoda akwiminyaka emashumi mabini nangaphezulu aphuma eJiputa akukho nanye iya kungena kwelo lizwe ndabathembisa ngalo ooAbraham, uIsake, noYakobi.’

₁₂“Esi sifungo ke sabandakanya bonke ngaphandle kukaKalebhi unyana kaJefune umKeni, noYoshuwa unyana kaNune. Kaloku bona bakholosa ngoNdikhoyo. ₁₃UNdikhoyo ke wakhathazeka, waza amaSirayeli wawabhadulisa entlango isithuba seminyaka engamashumi amane, sada safa saphela eso sizukulwana sasimonile. ₁₄Nina ke eningene ezihlangwini zooyihlo, nisisizukulwana esitsha esigwenxa esizimisele ukuhlisela umsindo kaNdikhoyo phezu kwamaSirayeli kwakhona. ₁₅Nani ke, maRubhen namaGadi, ukuba niyala ukunamathela kuye ngoku, uya kuphinda awalahle entlango amaSirayeli, ize ke intshabalalo yawo ibe yimhemhe yenu.”

₁₆Ke wona asuka aya kuMosis, ambongoza athi: “Sivumele sakhele iigusha zethu iintlanti, futhi sakhele iintsapho zethu iidolophu. ₁₇Sizimisele ukuxhoba siwakhokele amawethu emadabini, siwancedise ade awume loo mhlaba uza kuba ngowawo. Ke zona iintsapho zethu siya kuzishiya zihleli kwiidolophu ezinqatyisiweyo, zingabi nakuchukunyiswa ngabantu beli lizwe. ₁₈Thina ke soze sibuye ngaphandle kokuba ade onke amaSirayeli asifumane isabelo sawo kwelo lizwe. ₁₉Ngokunjalo ke thina soze sifumane sabelo samhlaba phaya phesheya kweJordan, kuba kaloku esethu nasi ngeneno empuma yeJordan.”

₂₀UMosis waphendula wathi: “Xa kunjalo ke, zilungiseleleni apha phambi kukaNdikhoyo, nizimisele ukuya edabini. ₂₁Onke amajoni enu kufuneka awele iJordan ekhokelwe nguNdikhoyo, azihlasele iintshaba zakhe ade azoyise, uNdikhoyo ₂₂awohluthe umhlaba wazo. Emva koko ke noba nako ukubuya; kaloku noba nimanelisile uNdikhoyo ndawonye namawenu. Ke wona lo mhlaba woba sisabelo senu enisinikwe nguNdikhoyo. ₂₃Kambe ke ukuba anisifezekisanga esi sithembiso, ze nazi ukuba nimonile uNdikhoyo, ibe ke sona isono senu siya kuba yinto kuni. ₂₄Ngoko ke yakhelani iintsapho zenu iidolophu, nakhele nemfuyo yenu iintlanti, kambe nisifezekise isithembiso senu.”

₂₅Ke kaloku amaGadi namaRubhen aphendula athi: “Izicaka zakho ziya kwenza ngokwelizwi lakho, mhlekazi. ₂₆Iintsapho zethu neenkomo neegusha zona ziya kusala apha kwezi dolophu zaseGiliyadi. ₂₇Ke thina sonke sesilungele ukungena phantsi koNdikhoyo. Soxhoba siyiwele iJordan; siya kulwa emfazweni ngokomyalelo wakho.”

₂₈UMosis wayalela uElazare, uYoshuwa, nezinye iinkulu zezindlu zamaSirayeli, ₂₉wathi: “Ukuba amaGadi namaRubhen ayiwelile iJordan, aza alwa kumkhosi kaNdikhoyo, naza ke noyisa nalithimba elo lizwe, ke wona ze niwanike umhlaba waseGiliyadi, ibe sisabelo sawo. ₃₀Kambe ke ukuba akayiwelanga iJordan aya kulwa kunye nani, isabelo sawo osifumana kwelaseKanana kunye nani.”

₃₁Ke wona amaGadi namaRubhen aphendula athi: “Ewe, siya kwenza njengoko athethileyo uNdikhoyo. ₃₂Siya kuwela siye kwilizwe laseKanana, silwe siphantsi kwakhe, ukuze singaphulukani nesabelo sethu apha kwimpuma yeJordan.”

₃₃Ngoko ke uMosis wabela amaGadi, amaRubhen, nenxalenye yabakwaManase, wonke ummandla kakumkani uSihon wama-Amori, ndawonye nokakumkani uOgi waseBhashan, ngokunjalo needolophu namaphandle awujikelezileyo. ₃₄AmaGadi abuya azakha iidolophu ezinqatyisiweyo zaseDibhon, iAtaroti, iArohere, ₃₅iAteroti-shofan, iJazere, iJogebheha, ₃₆iBhete-nimra, neBhete-haran. ₃₇AmaRubhen ahlaziya iHeshbhon, iElale, iKiriatayim, ₃₈iNebho, iBhali-mehon (eli ke igama latshintshwa), neSibhema. Iidolophu abazakhayo bazithiya ngokutsha.

₃₉Ke bona abakwaMakire, unyana kaManase, bahlasela umhlaba waseGiliyadi, bawagxotha ama-Amori awayelapho, baza bema kuwo loo mhlaba. ₄₀Ngoko ke uMosis umhlaba waseGiliyadi wawunika indlu kaMakire, yema kuwo. ₄₁UJayire wendlu kaManase wahlasela iidolophana ezithile, waza wazithatha wazibiza ngokuba ziidolophana zikaJayire. ₄₂NoNobha wahlasela iKenati needolophana zayo, waza wayithiya ngaye, wathi yiNobha.
